sort of beauty that lies in pic

other people do not know that
you are hungering for beauty

YOU can hunger for beauty. They

see yourself when you look in the

binary ideas-a little stupid and
lazy.
They do not know that there is

They do not know that some
where in those dark inner depths
the Real You kneels and prays.
often you have wished that
other people might know of that
hidden, lovelier You. You have
been hurt because they did not
discover that You. Yet you
could hardly blame them, for
you've never been able to express

LOCAL POULTRY
RAISERS FIND
BUSINESS GOOD

With reports from practically every
raiser of the Douglas district all to the
effect that the business is one of the
most profitable and pleasant to be
found anywhere, the news that hatch
cries are to be started in this disSAict
foI. the Matching of a local strain of
the very finest breeds of laying chick
ems and meat fowls comes as an indi-
cation of new stability in the industry
in this district!
Severar of the most expert poultry
men of the district have placed orders
with the leading incubator manufac-
tories of the country for large units
for the incubation of their own stock.
This means that. within a few years
there is every possibility that the
Douglas district will be a distributing
point for baby chicks of high quail
ity whore in the past few years this
district has been a receiver of thou
sands of baby chicks annually that
have been brought here from Texas,
California and Missouri
1t is pointed out in this connection
that while Texas probably has, in
parts. as good a climate for the incu-
baton of good chickens as has Doug
las, the cost to Douglas breeders of i'm
ported birds is much higher than the
cost for home incubated birds will be
and the chicks will be of an acclimated
strain that can be studied for several
generations back.

TROJANS BEAT.
PARK OWLS IN
CLOSE CONTEST

The Trojan football team won
Of 1910 at the Tenth street park
Wednesday afternoon. The Trojans
were as follows: Young, fullback ;
Nit McCord, RIB; Hohstadt, lib;
Dawson and Pine played the ends;
Chilson played tackle; Hood and
Bates played the guard positions,
while Cansler played center. The
Park Owls had Brown, Bebb, Bran
ham and John Hood in the backfield,
with Evans, Chilson, Swain, Parks,
Hull, A. Branham, Jordan and Con
Reed in the line.
The Trojans had the edge on the
Park Owls when it came to speed,
but the Park Owls had full team,
therefore they had quite an advantage
over the nine-man team that the
Trojans had on the field. The victors
were the best in all stages of the
came to passing, their punting was
unexcelled, and when they hit the
line they rarely failed to gain.
Young did all the passing with Pine
and Dawson on the receiving end.
Dawson picked up tumble in the
first quarter and ran 25 yards for a
touchdown. Young went around right
end after McCord had done a great
piece of blocking
Hohstadt and McCord did most of
the running with Young doing the
passing and what little punting was
done. Evans and Spike" Branham,
with Hood, did the good work for the
losers. "Kelly' Nemeck was referee,
Clark Davies was head linesman and
Doe Snyder and H. G. Penny were
spectators.
