He Is Pinned Beneath Tractor

Roy o. Winters, dairyman and
farmer, of near town, was painfully
injured last Thursday afternoon when
tractor which he was driving
turned over on a steep embankment,
pinning him beneath the machine.
The tractor was raised sufficiently
by his two sons, Clayton and Harvey,
and Hagan Frazee, who were working
with him at the time, so that he could
be extricated but it was not until his
shoulder, arm, and part of his face
had been burned by ashes of a brush
fire.
They had been engaged in pulling
thorns from a field on his farm and
were hauling the last bush to the fire
when the accident occurred.
Mr.. Winters sustained also broken
rib and was otherwise bruised. The

Oakland High, after being absent
from the track last year, came back
strong to best Grantsville, last years
winner. Oakland did not compete in
1888, because there was no practice
field available.
The day was hot and clear and one
record was broken, according to F. o.
Speicher, Friendsville, general chair
man of the games committee. j.
WEIGHT, a Kitzmiller boy made new
high record in the broad jump, with a
lead of 20 feet u inches. The meet
was held under the supervision OF
Thomas C. Ferguson, State Super-
visor of Physical Education.
The addition of the girls events
this year in running and softball was
received with interest and the separa-
ton of events in elementary and high
school classes gave the one and two
teacher and graded schools more of a
chance to score. Totals were COM
bined however, at the conclusion OF
the meet, with the exception of Kitz-
miller and Oakland schools.
Quite a number of the county WIN
ners eligible to compete in the West
ern Shore meet at Frederick on June
9, expect to go to that city and partlc-
ipate. Arrangements are being made
for transportation. A few of the teach
crs are scheduled to act as officials In
the meet.
The cost of the trip will be divided,
one-third to be born by the county,
one-third from the school from which
the participant comes, and the remain
ing one-third to be born by the lndl-
vidual participant.

To start at the front, there are
IL incisor teeth and canine. The
canine teeth are the little numbers
that make snarling dogs look fero-
cious. They're the fangs. A bite
shows one on each corner of the
front of Pups mouth. And of the
incisor teeth six fit in between the
teeth up stairs and down. They're
the little teeth which run across
the front of the muzzle inside. To
make the job complete there should
be molars and 18 pre-molars.
It's somewhat complicated but
nice to know, or at least to hear
about. In cleaning the teeth

for some reason or other the dog is
liable to become suspicious of the
instrument and be more difficult
than necessary. Hence the use OF
a soft cloth. When a change OF
tooth cleaning methods is desired
give the canine soft or spongy
bone. Something that he won't
swallow in a haro lump and run
into digestive difficulties. Or offer
him some hard dog biscuits. Bones

spirit but cleanse the mouth anc

Just about this time of year you
begin to feel the need of new and
different cosmetics. Maybe your
skin is parched and dried from too
many hours in a football stadium:
maybe your present makeup isn't
exactly right for your new winter
clothes, or possibly you just find
the cosmetic displays as fascinating
as we do-and want to sample some
of the excellent products. -.
Anyway, whatever the reason be-
hind it all. there seems to be a
great deal of interest in beauty aids,
both old and new. and into each
category fall the ones we'd like to
tell you about today. It's al
ways fun to point out some Of the
fine items, not that we hope to please
or interest every one, but because
we think that you may miss them
and they're too good for that.
Hair Remover Is
Well Established.
Under the heading of "old'-and
by that we mean we'll established
items, we were recently reminded
of a product which erases hair ef-
ficiently and quickly. This has been
on the market for over 81 years
which is a pretty good test of its
dependability. Anyway, it's a
fiat, odorless, rose-tinted disc, which
is used dry, without heating or mix
ing. In several sizes, you can even
carry 1t in your purse for use at
any time, for the method Is simple
and practically no trouble at all.

from the standpoint of piano beauty
