HIGH SCHOOL LOSES
GAME AT JONESBORC

The Poca Hi football team lost to
the Jonesboro Aggie Seconds in slow
and listless game on the Jonesboro
grid last~Friday. The score was 27-O.
The first two quarters were played
by the Poca second team backfield and
the heavier Aggie boys walked over
them for three touchdowns. In the last
half one touchdown was made.
Captain Etter of the Aggies won the
toss and elected to kick and defend the
south goal The first touchdown came
after six minutes of play, after the
Aggies had marched down the field
with Etter, Braden, Haywood and
Nichols carrying the ball, Braden
carrying the ball over. Braden fail
ed to kick goal. Nichols. fullback,
scored the second touchdown, and kick
ed goal for the extra point. Mcdonald
| who substituted for Braden, marched
down the field for FIVE, ten and fifteen
yards for a touchdown, and on fake
play to drop kick for the extra point,
passed the ball to Etter for the point.
The fourth and final touchdown was
scored i'm the third quarter by Hay
wood, Etter kicking goal for the extra
point.
In the fourth quarter, the local boys
by a pass, Joe Blankenship to frankie
Blankenship, line plunges by Leon
Brown aided by two penalties against
the Aggies carried the ball within four
yards of touchdown. Glen Richard
son made a yard on a line plunge but
on the next play an incompleted pass
gave the Aggies touchback. That
was Poca's only real threat to score.
The work of Carl Carroll, halfback,
on the defense and Leon Brown, half
back, on the offense helped POca to
hold down the score. Cloyd Spikes, at
fullback, playing his first game, and
Glen Richardson, at guard, also did
good work.
Mcdonald and Haywood were the
outstanding stars Of the Aggie eleven.

FAIR ASSOCIATION
PROFITS WITH FAIR

Reports given out last week that
the Randolph County Fair Association
lost money on the 1925 Fair were err
roneous, according to statement is
sued by the association. The state
ment showed that the gate receipts
were far short of the amount antici-
pated, on account of the inclement
weather, but after all expenses had
been paid there was still some money
left from the amount taken In.
That is a mighty fine record, con-
sidering the fact that rain all three
days cut the attendance to less than
half what it would have been in fair
weather.
In the report of the prize winners.
published last week, a few errors were
made. Mrs. L. II. Pickett won second
place in both sour and sweet cucumber
pickles. In the tea towel contest.
Mary Alice Pickett (No comp) won
second place. First prize for r. I.
Red cockerel went to Mrs. J. r. Kizer.
second prize to Ed Holt. A prize-win-

HEALTH CRUSADE IN
POCAHONTAS SCHOOLS

Mrs. IL. c. Gibson, field secretary of
the Arkansas tuberculosis Association,
is in town in the interest Of the health
program which the association is
bringing to our schools this year.
This is the Modern Health Crusade,
plan for teaching health habits and
nutrition to our children, which is in
use all over the nation and being car
ried on by some 100000 children.
The Arkansas tuberculosis Association
has already placed this work i'm some
GO large towns in Arkansas. y
1t is only undertaken where teachers
are fully cooperative, and its purpose
is to train the children to establish
habits of living which will build up
resistance to disease and give them the
full joy of life.
In speaking of her work, Mrs. Gibson
says, "Our program is based on the
principle that the whole child goes
to school, body mind and soul. In
many towns the Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations are buying scales and put
ting in hot lunches in order to facili-
tate the work The early bedtime
sleeping with windows open, drinking
plenty of water, and the establishment
of regular habits alone will show its
effect in the improved condition Of the
child in a short time. The Crusade
emphasizes the food value of fruits,
vegetables and milk and not only in
the diet but in every respect it needs
the support of the mothers"
This they have never failed to get
ana we shall have it in IL cahontas,
because Pocahontas mothers and teach
ers are devoted first of all to their
childhood.
This health education service of the
Arkansas tuberculosis Association Is
supported almost entirely by the sale
of the tuberculosis Christian Seals,
which was handled in our town under
the chairmanship of Mrs. W. e. Hamil.
In response to an invitation given by
DAILY Thompson, Supt. Of the school,
Mrs. Gibson instituted a health cru
SADIE in the public school Tuesday.
The work is being carried on in the
third fourth, fifth, and sixth grades.
The children are to be weighed and
measured and certain rules of diet,
rest, recreation, cleanliness, and open
air activities are to be followed. One
of the things that will possibly sur
/ prise a number of theyparents is the
fact that the children are supposed to
sleep IL hours each night.
At the end Of three weeks Mrs. Glib
son will return to check the progress
made by the children.
If only one child's health might be
improved or the tubercular germ be
overcome, the crusade would be worth
a thousand-fold the time and trouble
Il may cost.
