LET'S MAKE IT BIGGER
AND BETTER THIS YEAR

Prospects for a bigger and better
Phillips County Fair this year are
good.
People In general are giving It con-
siderable thot, and from all indica-
tions there will be much competition
In exhibits for the liberal premiums
offered this year. Besides the regu-
lar premiums offered by the Fair
Management, several business houses
are Offering special premiums which
will be made known at later date.
The premium lists were delivered
to the management the latter part
of last week and undoubtedly will be
mailed to each family in the county
before many days.
Manager, c. P. Starbuck informs
us that arrangements are now being
made for attractions that are expect
ed to be better than any year here
tofore
So, let's all begin a little earlier
to boost the Fair and make it little
bigger and better this year. Your
cooperation will help considerable.

MEETING AT COURT HOUSE
DRAWS INTERESTED CROWD

The mass meeting of the taxpayers
and those interested in the curb and
gutter proposition as was proposed
by the Town Council the fore part
of last week. was held at the Court
House, Tuesday evening.
Rather a large crowd about so in
number, were present, and argu-
ments Pro and Con were listened to.
Although nothing in particular was
accomplished. those present now un-
derstand the manner in which this
proposed Curb and gutter is to be in
stalled. Further plans, etc, will be
talked over and If possible, arrange.
ments of some definite plan will be
drawn at the meeting of the CONNER
cial Club on next Wednesday even
ing.
During the past week a petition for
the proposed curb and gutter has
been circulated and goodly number
of names have been signed.
There Is considerable unfavorable
comment by some few of the tax
payers on this issue. and Il may be
difficult TO get this much needed
curb and gutter proposition thru.
From almost everybody We have
talked to, this seems to be a very
much needed improvement.

CUBS DEFEAT
IMPERIAL TEAM
HERE SUNDAY
THREE HITS IN FOURTH INNING
PERMIT CUBS TO
GAIN LEAD

The Holyoke Cubs added another
victory to their list Sunday when
they defeated the fast Imperial, Nebr,
team, the second game the Imps have
lost this season.
Neither team was able to connect
with safety until in the fourth in
ming when Holyoke began placing
the ball out of the fielders reach,
landing three safties, added to an
error on L. H. Johnston. SIS for the
Imps, permitted Holyoke to ring up
three tallies. In the sixth Holyoke
succeeded in adding two more to
their count, and still holding the
visitors scoreless. it began to look
like a shut out for the Imps until the
seventh inning when they secured
two safties and a wild throw to
second by Correll, permitting them
their firt counter, the Imps repeated
in the eighth placing another man
across, but were unable to make the
necessary rounds in the ninth.
Wilcox, twirler for the Cubs held
the Imps to six lone hits. and struck
out seven batsmen, while his con-
testant. d. Johnson. who was on the
mound for the Imps allowed the Cubs
nine hits and striking out but five
batsmen
Wilcox, was not working alone

majority of the time in the past. as
the Cubs playing the best fielding
game that has ever been featured on
the local park. allowing but one err
ror, while the Imperial pitcher was
a bit lacking in support, his fellow
teamsmen allowing five errors, which
were responsible for the losing OF
the game.

Chronic coughs and persistent colds

Creomulsion is a new medical discov-

and heals the inflamed membranes
and kills the germ.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by the medical fraternity as
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and colds
and other forms of throat troubles.
Circumcision contains, in addition to
creUsote, other healing elements which
soothe and heal the inhamed mem
branes and stop the irritation and In
fiammation, while the creosote goes
on to the stomach, is absorbed into
the blood, attacks the seat of the trou-
BILE and destroys the germs that lead
to serious complications
Creomulsion is guaranteed satfsfac-
