ACCENT ON SPRING

You get it in sailors brim, Springs accent in the floral trim You get it in numerous folderolS And in styles in children's dolls. You get 1t in florist window shop That in floral way gets the drop On natures offerings soon to Sprout In April when children laugh and shout. You get it In the great big flower show Where wonders in flowers made to grow, In the great outdoors with the earth growing soft Drab earth Still but bright blue aloft. You get 1t in the matutinal song Of first returning birds going strong, In the frogs first spring croak, In the seedy late winter look of folk Springs accent Is all about you With little of winter still to flout you. You get it in this thing and that But mostly in the new pancake hat.

Biting a Dog and Other
Methods of Taking Oath

! We all know" the old story Of the
editor who told young reporter
that dog biting a man was not
news, but that a man biting a dog
was news. In Kenya this brand Of
news is fairly common, for when
the natives Of a certain tribe have
to appear as witnesses on any oc-
casion, they take with them live
dog. Before giving their evidence
the native viii take a bite of skin
from the wretched animal, at the
same time saying, las I bite this
dog, so may l be bitten if I lie!"
declares writer in London Tit
Bits Magazine.
Many other countries have
strange oaths; natives Of Malaga
tear the limbs from some small ami
mai, such as a lizard or a frog,
symbolizing that they may be SINH
larly rent to pieces If they speak
not the truth.
The Chinese smash a saucer to
signify their willingness to be de-
stroyed if they should bear false
witness.
A Manx deemster upon his ap-

lnsIsn Wages Formed
When Tribes Were at War

In olden days, when most of the
Indian tribes were at war, villages
were pitched in horseshoe forma-
ton for protection.
The pitching of the teepees was
the work IT the men Of the tribe.
but the Indian women judged by
eve the Distance between teepees.
II was invariably the same, SO true
was their judgment, states a writer
in the Washington Star.
In the center of the horseshoe of
tents three sacred teepeeS, for cere-
mnnial and religious events, yere
placed. One of these belonged to
the medicine man of the tribe, II
was decorated with symbolic and
sacred signs. No one was allowed
to enter the medicine mans teepee
or lodge without invitation.
Other teepees in the village were
decorated with animal signs. If an
Indian at some time received help
from an animal friend, he was ever
after entitled to decorate his home
with the likeness Of that animal and
was allowed to be considered under
its protection.
When hunting party was ready
to 60 out for food, the medicine
man sent special medicine" for
. luck, to the best two hunters of the
tribe. It was composed of roots and
red clay paint mixed together in a
small medicine bag, and with it the
hunters painted clay images of the
animals they wished to kill for food.
Often in hunting certain animals
the hunters wore masks resembling
their prey as decoys. The wearer
lay covered with leaves near a wa
ter hole where the animal might
come, leaving only the mask ex-
posed.

Local Business Man Stresses Equal

Crowns Cash Prizes.

Interesting evidence on a subject of
much current interest and discussion
the conduct Of advertising contests
is advanced by S. j. Lane, Manager
of the Lane Nehi Bottling Co., bot
tiers of Royal Crown Cola.
Many people hesitate to enter con
tests, feeling that the cards may be
stacked against them or that winners
may be picked out of hat" Books
and articles suggesting that such con-
tests are haphazardly conducted or
that judging is prejudiced in one way
or another have recently gained con-
siderable notice.
Reporting extremely wide public in
terest in the $4,000 contest recently
launched by Nehi, Inc, Mr.. Lane sees
excellent opportunities for Henderson
residents to win some of the many
cash prizes offered for completing q
simple sentence, and he stresses the
fact that particular pains are being
taken to insure equal chances for a.,
contestants. This is done by using
judging methods employed by a num-

Miller's Boys Vic

Henderson high school Bulldog nine
put together two big scoring innings
yesterday afternoon to whip Wake
Forest there 10 to 5, with L. A. jack
son, Jr., going the route for the locals.
Coach Bing Miller's boys scored
enough runs in the first inning to win
the ball game, pushing over six tai
lies on two singles, double and six
bases on balls as Riggs, Wake Forest
hurler, found difficulty in locating
the plate.
Jackson kept Wake Forest hits
fairly we'll scattered, two of the blows
being of the four-bagger variety, and
never seemed to be in any serious
trouble, after being spotted the big
advantage in runs.
Forsythe, with two doubles, led the
locals with the stick, being closely fol-
lowed by jackson with a single and
double. Falkner got two singles. Ride
out slapped out a homer in the sixth
with two men on base, this being his
only hit of the day, to account for
three runs in this frame, and Hob
good followed him with a triple, and
scored the fourth run.
j. Johnson homered for the losers
in the first inning, and Holden hit
for the circuit in the third with one
on.

The North Henderson All-Stars have
a tough schedule for this weekend,
according to Manager Lamb.
Warrenton comes here Saturday for
a contest, and the nine plays a return
game at Warrenton Sunday after
noon. Mondays foe will be the
Franklinton C. c. C. team at North
Henderson.
doc" Braswell who has seen ac-
ton on the mound a greater part of
six out of nine contests, will see plen-
ty of action. He is one of the young
splendid record as a relief hurler. He
is slated for the Warrenton game to-
morrow.
Gene Nelson, the boy who set the
Franklinton Gees back II to last
Sunday, will handle the mound du-
ties at Warrenton Sunday, and Chas.
Johnson, tall and lanky hurler with
plenty of stuff on the ball, will get the
call to work Monday against the
Franklinton team. He has been the
most consistent of the hurlers thus
far this season.
Manager Lamb expects to leave his
infield intact with Poole at first,
Turner at second, Acrey at short and
Williams at third. Price will handle
the receiving,> and the outfield will
likely be divided between Harper,
Adams, Woodruff, Faulkner and Peg
ram.
Everyone is invited to come out and
enjoy the contest, and the team will
appreciate any boost the fans feel like
giving the hard working aggregation.

adopted the name "Red Sox" for the
