CODY HI VICTORIOUS IN
FIRST GRIDIRON BATTLE
First Game of Season Results in
Score of Is to z for Cody
Greybui Worthy Opppon-
ents and Clean Sports

The first football game of the
season to be played by the team of
the Cody high school resulted in a
Is to Z victory for the local war
riors. The contest was played Sat
urday afternoon with the Greybull
high school. and proved an excit-
ing battle from start to finish.
The kickoff was made to the
Greybull team who took the ball
on a good catch and marched it by
steady downs to within a few yards
of the Cody goal. Things were
looking bad and the local team
seemed unable to stem the tide of
the oil city lads when a tumble
gave the pigskin to Cody and the
home boys showed their strong Of
fensive by driving the Greybull
boys back across the entire field.
The first few minutes of the play
was the only time when the Cody
team seemed to be forced to do
their best.
After securing the ball on the
tumble the game was theirs at al
most every turn. An attempted
pass lost them the ball, and a
sprinter of the Greybull team went
across for a touchdown, and a good
kick followed, which were the only
points made by the visitors.
After carrying the ball within a
few yards of their goal, Cody re-
linquished to Greybull, and with
the next play scored a touchdown
by a clever tackle by Loren Todd.
Following a series of fast and
clever plays the home boys scored
w t%ouchdowns which with the
touchback netted them fifteen
points and their first victory .
Those suited up for play in the
first game by Coach Sweitzer in
cluded Worrel as left end; Todd
as left tackle; Shippers as left
guard; McMillin, right tackle;
Kurtz, right end; Edwards, right

left half and Frost quarterback.

whom had opportunity to play.

combined with the continued indi-

of dude travel west and put the
business upon a more substantial
basis.

In an advertisement published in
the Enterprise last week, it was
enormously stated that the Harvest
Home supper would be given by the

LETTER FROM LESLIE PRES corr TO LITTLE MARQUISE, CARE OF THE SECRET

Thomas laughed, Little Marquis". very heartily when l started to ask him how little Jack answered his question on the ethics of discharging an old and faithful servant.
 Excuse me, Mrs. Prescott" he said, but that boy is a clever lad and he is a bonny lad as well, He thought a minute and then he said:

Your Health
 How to Keep It. Causes of Illness
By DIR. HUGH S. CUMMING


 Did you ever look upon the skin of a little baby, so clear and pink and think that perhaps in a few years that same face would be per haps blotchy and marred by scars and pimples? How unlikely it is for any child even in these days to grow into manhood or womanhood with out going through a period of skin eruption and possibly disfigurement.
 One of the most common of skin eruptions is that known as acne. Acne is q skin eruption produced by inflammation of the sweat glands and hair follicles. Before there is any general eruption. there are like ly to be blackheads.
 Pimples and blackheads constitute a very frequent skin condition as a result of the inflammation of the oil glands of the skin and plugging up of the outlet of these glands. Some skins seem to be peculiarly your skin shows large pores or is unnaturally oily, you are more likely to develop acne. Backheads become infected, pus caps develop, pimples and red spots and swollen places ap- pear in the skin. The forehead and face and the back of the neck and shoulders are favored spots for the development of acne.
 It may be highly commendable to teach children self-reliance and inde- pcndence-in fact, it probably is, but it is scarcely the part of good parcnthood to neglect to exercise a certain amount of supervision even during this period of youthful inde- pendence. Unless growing boys and girls eat proper food and care for their bodies as they should. there is sure to be trouble and this trouble frequently manifests itself on the skin.
 Acne very frequently disappears as an adult age is reached because habits of personal cleanliness have been established and also better regimes of diet, But there are ex- I.ceptions, and 1t Is not true that all cases of acne get well after the age of 30. Exercise in the open air, reg ular bathing. free elimination and nutritious diet are important aids. <; As a general rule, 1t may be said that sugar, pastries. rich sauces and gravies tea and coffee should be omitted from the diet where there is danger of acne. When regular ex- ercise and diet regulation do not relieve constipation, laxatives may be used and cod liver oil has been recommended.
 External treatment for acne is of cssential importance in most cases. Powder. lotions and oils, the com position of which must be governed by the conditions present may be useful. but most important of all. you should pay attention to cleans. ing, friction and massage to improve the circulation and to the proper use of antiseptics.

more than once that l have had a home where there were no rocks or roots to keep Bowser the Hound or Reddy Fox or Farmer Browns Boy from digging it open. Farmer Browns Boy tried it once. That was before he had become the best friend ot all the little people of the Green Forest and the Great Meadows With q shovel he started to dig me out. Now, l had little side bed. room in the house, so l went in there and shut the door. That is, l packed the doorway 10 it full of sand. Farmer Browns Boy dug right down past #. To this day'he does. u'L know what became of me.

 Barbara smiled at her. Run back into your room Fancy. and I'll fol- low you. But l haven't much to say" Fancy obeyed,
 When Barbara came into the bed room the girl was seated by the dressing table. her head on her arms, Barbara went up to her and put a hand on her shoulder Fancy lifted her head and gazed into Barbara's face,
 "nabs. dear" she whispered. "I'm so sorry. What beast was! And you'd been so good 10 me, too" The tears began to trickle again and she hid her face against Barbara's dress Now listen. dear" said Barbara i've won't talk about that You didn't mean some Of the things you said. What matters now Is that you seq how right l am about Jerome. You musn't ruin your life by falling in love with man of his type. There's nothing in 1t for you. He is sure to drop you in short time. as he dropped the other girl for you. Believe me, know about him and his many loves,
 Why, Fancy, once he came over to tell me how worried he was about a breach Of promise suit. You don't want to have anything to do with such a person as that, do you?"
 Did you drop him at once when you heard about it?" Fancy retort- ed.
 Barbara flushed. There was never any romance between us" she said. more distantly. Well, don't care. It wasn't his fault the old thing sued him. was it?" replied Fancy. Lots of women just make victims of men that way. And know Jerome wasn't to blame. , He isn't that kind"
 Barbara sighed. There's no use trying to tell you about him. Fancy" she said. You think you're in love with him and you won't listen. But you must promise me one thing that you'll tell your father all about it and do as he says" Fancy shrugged her shoulders. "Il tell him, but I don't know whether I'll do what he says. He's such a hard-shclled old fogy. Babs. I'm old enough to know what I want"
 Maybe so. dear. but not old enough to know whats good for you'
 How do you live so contentedly, Babs?" Fancy's eyes were genuinely curious.

I'd think you d 1 want admirers and parties and pret- ty clothes and things. You're not so awfully old yet" The imperti- hence was evidently quite uninten- l tional.
 Barbara smiled. Perhaps do want them. dear. But my life doesn't provide them just now. And, after all. it's my work that really counts. I have enough. just in it."

 Dear Little Marquise. were you ever separated from your kingly lover and during that time he had been i'll and he had made very little of it to you. yet when you came home you found him crippled up in bed and looking pale and his eyes having a wistful, lonely look In them? If you ever did, you will know just what 1t meant to me, when, instead of being met by my great big man and encircled in his arms and taken right off my feet by a hug which lifted my face up to his, I had to walk over and seat myself beside Jacks bed.
 Jack drew himself up and held out his arms ts me and I bent over aid l found the tears dropping from my eyes as his head bent to my breast.
