As you know, in the downtown
district at this time OF year, il is
always congested. So much so that
one can hardly cross the street with

That is why a man is stationed

most successful in many years"
The great lack Of reserves only
served as a point OF inspiration for
such outstanding players as Cap

Lamar Allen.
These men played their last col

matte fashion, particularly Lamar
Allen who was named sll-American.
These seniors were largely respon-
sible for Arkansas winning six
games. tieing one and losing three.
The other 10 men who made up the
remainder OF the squad proved
themselves TO be Lions who would
not take defeat"
An added feature OF significance
was the presence OF the coaches and
senior football players Of all high

School Art To
Be Exhibited

A display of art work done
by grade school pupils is OPP
ening today at the two grade
school buildings here.
Entries in the display are
from Hardin, Crow Agency,
Community school, Decker, Pry-
or, Good Luck school and st.
Xavier.
The articles will be on display
for two weeks.
Really outstanding work has
been done by many OF the stu
dents, in many fields. Especially
interesting are the posters
which are entered in the health
poster contest.
Plaques of several kinds may
be seen, including several
painted on wood and warm
ished, and others which have
been burned into the wood.
Designs showing Indians, horses
and Western scenes predomin-
ate.
The Western theme is seen
also in many of the original
drawings in crayOn ana pencu,
the free hand cutting and the
water colors.
Also included are free hand
lettering, illustrated poems,
snowflake cutouts and many
other forms of hand work. Bird
houses, letter cases and match
boxes are a few of the articles
constructed, and raffia work,
doll quilts and similar articles
are also shown. A snow castle
made by one of the Hardin
fifth grade rooms at Christ
mas time forms one especially
interesting exhibit.
The public is urged to see
this display.
