THE APRIL FOOL

There's a great big el'phunt

| Come look" shouted little Bonnie
when Horace came sleepily down
| the stairs.
Horace grinned. Il guess I'm
wise that this is April Fool" he
said. mo one is going to put any
thing over on me-"
ooh, Horace, you've dropped
your napkin" said Mother.
april Fool, huh ?" said Horace.
You'll have to try something better
than that"
SO Horace went off to school
without any of the family getting a
chance to call out April Fool" All
day he was on his guard. No one
got near enough to pin "kick me"
sign on his back; no one got a
chance to offer him nice-looking
candy which had center OF soap
or wood; no one got to jerk peck
etbook from under his eager fin
gers. He was too wise.
He was too busy watching out to
play jokes on any one else. So the
bunch of merrymakers left him
alone, and gave up trying to catch
him in trap.
. WELL" said Horace with yawn,
as he started up stairs to bed, "this
has been some day. I've sure been
on the lookout, and not a single
person has had chance to fool
me this time. I call that some
record"
"Oh, you do" said his mother,
with a funny smile 1T seems
to me you've fooled yourself worse
than ever before. For one thing,
you've failed to get in the spirit of
this day of merriment. But that is

BAXTER FIRST IN, TOO

Children of the first grade of
Baxter school, though not one of
the contesting grades in the pic
ture contest are getting acquainted
with many of the pictures, too. They
number the pictures and learn
them that way, for they can not
write and spell the names of the
pictures. Wayne Gehr and Doro-
thy Snavely of the class have the
greatest number correct, most of
the time.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that 80 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises Of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need Of it.
A prominent druggist says, Take for
example DR.. kilmer's Swamp. Root, a
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many OF my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has SO large a
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmcr's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
so many people claim, that it fulflls al.
most every wish il overcoming kidney.

CONSIDER USE OF AIRSHIPS
Possibility Of Their Successful EN-
pIoyment in Making Aerial Oh.
servations Of the Hmalayas.

Consideration has been given to the
possibility Of aerial observations in
the Himalayas. The range, it appears,
has only six peaks above 27,0OO feet
high, and an aviator flying at about
$1,000 or 24000 fee should have no
difficulty in crossing If the highest
peaks were avoided, while, If he chose
certain Of the g0rgcs, an altitude Of
some 1900 feet would suffice. The
greatest Of the many obstacles to be
encountered Is the mountain sickness,
which occurs in the highest attitudes
through deficiency Of oxygen. The grad
ual climber, going afoOt, is less handi-
capped in this respect than the avi.
ator rising suddenly from sea level In
his machine; on the other hand, the
pedestrian has more fatigue to under
go, and this practically equalizes mat
ters The chief consideration in any
case Is an adequate supply Of oxygen,

Representative Bankhead OF Ala
bama, a Democratic member OF the

ment which he will seek to offer to
the subsidy bill. The amendment adds
the following proviso TO Section 403 Of

payment OF compensation to the owner
OF any vessel upon which any liquors
or beverages containing more than one
half OF per cent Of alcohol by volume
are stored, sold, kept for sale, offered
for sale. or other disposition, within or

Mr. Bankhead will present bis
amendment TO the Committee on
Merchant Marine and Fisheries. The
full committee, including Democrats,
took up the revised subsidy bill, but de-
ferred action In order To give the Dem
ocrats an opportunity TO present an
amendment The committee is expect
ed TO reject the Bankhead amendment.
Opposition is threatened by num-
ber Of dry Republicans as well as By
Democrats TO any special rule which

Bankhead amendment during the con-
slderatlon OF the subsidy bill on the
floor of the house. Representative
