body cheered up; including me.
However, to encourage the girls
on, a tiny pre-school girl was out
there with them to show them it
could be done. That was good
forethought on someone's part. l
thought they did mighty well.
Not once did they have to Use any
of the bucket of water that was
setting close by. Rather than see

boys nearly drank it up.

vAcCINATE HOGS

Your hogs should be vacinnated
for cholera and septicemia before
you turn them out in the fall. This
is cheap insurance on protecting
your hogs. Also be sure that all
hogs including your pigs have
rings in their nose to prevent

A New Fan Describes
Football Come

As a usual thing I never attend
football games. There is really
no reason to as / live with a
bunch of ardent football fans and
they go and come back and de-
scribe the game to me play by
play and in minute detail-some-
times acting out said play.
don't like this acting-out stuff be-
cause l get involved to the extent
of a bruise OF two and that's not
funny.
However Thursday night
found it expedient that / witness
the game between McAdams and
Lexington in person, and this
did.
Here is what / saw:
Many, many people were there.
Everybody was smiling and wore
a I'm so happy" look. / tried to
smile and look happy too, but
between some guy blowing great
clouds of cigarette smoke over my
head and the wind tossing il
) right back in my face and the
hard seat | was sitting on, | gave
up tina idea of being happy and
tried to concentrate on what was
happening out front.
There seemed to be two sides
out there, the side where l was
sitting and the other across the
field - this field, mind you, is
not a field at all. No corn, cot
ton or peas ever grew on this
field. Nothing but grass. Maybe
that is what the fields are now
days, just grass. Our side seemed
to outnumber the other side
thirty to one. 1t is easy to see
how u side beat. II would have
been a shame not to.
| noticed u boys wore golo
! trousers and purple shirts ano
each boy was numbered. These
numbers puzzled me at first, bu'
then l soon figured that out. L
was to keep count of the boys il
case n got lost. However, tina
wasn't likely as there were n,
trees around. But, some of then
must have strayed a bit for ever,
once in a while some one woul,

from getting the ball sever;
times. Everytime our boys got tn
ball they wanted it too.
