After all that’s the biggest victory we could win. Vincennes meets Frankfort at Frankfort this weekend. That game stands out as the headline attraction over the state this week. We're picking Frankfort this time although the Alices won the one game played between the two teams so far this season. | Kirkland meets Hartford at Berne Friday night and Berne travels to Ossian for a contest. Berne should carry the Adams county colors to victory and Kirkland is expected to repeat their victory over the Hartford quintet, although not .without a battle. o — — Kirkland To Meet Hartford Friday Night The Kirkland high school boys' first and second basketball teams will journey to Berne Friday evening to meet the Hartford township high school first and second teams.

Sumuei M.u k Terry, nephew of th neral Terry of Civil wur ami Indian war fame, was born in New York September 1, JS3O. SRIU Joined the I nited States army In I<>S and a gtm-hot wound received in tin-Civil war<nu>e<l him to wear a silver plate in hi:- throat for the rest of his lite. Handicapped by the wound and undaunted by loss of his tn,--: by freezing while he was engaged fji army messenger and scout work for l ade Sam around the army posts In the land of the Sioux Italians, Sam Terry continued In the government service until romance conquered him. His detachment was about to attack an Indian village Ju 1867, with orders to kill every man. fairing the fighting figures were seen hiding In the tall grass. One of the soldiers was about to shoot when Saia ordered him to wait. Search of the grass revealed two Indian girls. After the attack, one of these persisted in pursuing Terry until lie became a sqiruw man and a real lover of the liyliana. Old-timers declare Sam Terry was a noble character. He servvfil his country for 23 years, and after'his adoption by the Indians he helped bring about a mutual understanding between them and Washington. Where the Hairpins Go There is a very charming fairy story written concerning the land where- all lost points go, says the St. Joseph News-Press, So completely do vast quantities of pins disappear from human sight that it seems there must be ■ some magic in their vanishment. But the pretty fairy story is far ft- the sordid reality of the discovery, the other day, of many of the lost pins, especially hairpins. When sheriffs raided squatters who were occupying shacks on the Chicago dump, a pile of tnirty tons of wire articles, mostly hairpins, was discovered. The discarded hairpins covered a space fifty feet square and the pile was four feet deep. Evidently girls and women who bobbed their hair had thrown away their collection of hairpins and those who profit front sorting trash had assembled the remarkable collection. Freedom from the thralldom of pins sticking into or pressing their heads Is said to be one of the great advantages of womens shorn locks, though facetious men have complained that the loss of this I household article means the deprlvni tlon of handy nutpicks and of a wire to hold damaged /alluses. Yet their ' alleged consternation is nothing in ■comparison with the plight of hairpin manufacturers. Meaning of “Alabama” It has long been a matter of tradition that the name “Alabama" had the romantic meaning of “Here We Rest.” This originated about seventy rive years ago and gained widespread popularity through the writings of Judge Meek, who handled the history of the State in a volume which was very generally accepted. Some recent philological research has upset this. Rev. Allen Wright, a highly educated Choctaw. says that it means “thicket Hearers.” That was originally the name of a trlb’e of Indians which inhabited that part of the country and the name was always given to the river and afterwards to the state. In his opinion the word is compounded from "Alba,” meaning a thicket or mass of vegetation, and "am,” to clear or gather up. Another student of tribal dialects concurs in this belief, with the slightly different definition of "vegetation gatherers.” Man Before Radio Edgar A. DeForest, the radio Inventor, said at a Minneapolis reception : “Radio is so wonderful that the average man feels before it like the farmer at the seaside. “A farmer on hfs first visit to the seaside went down to the beach at low tide and saw a big fishing smack lying high and dry on the sand. “ ‘Hey, mister,’ he said to a fisherman, ‘how do yon get that big boat down to the water?’ “‘We don’t take the boat down to the water, shipmate,’ said the fisherman, with a smile. ‘The water comes up to the boat.’ “The farmer laughed. ‘“Yes, mister,’ he said, ‘I know T’m from the country, all right, all right, but you needn’t think I’m goin’ to swaller that.’ ” Power "I can turn you out n statue,” declared a boaster. “I can turn you out a painting or novel. I cun turn you out a song.” “With all that,” commented a bystander, “you ain’t nearly so powerful as that little fellow over yonder.” “Who is he?” “He’s a landlord. He can turn you out.”—Louisville Courier-Journal. Preparedness Reggie—Phyllis said that she was going to let me give her swimming lessons. We start with them tomorrow. Archie —Ynu lucky dog.

NOTED SINGER H I F —• ’R .1 • ’I H -X- -. 1 - - - -r— -- - ■ - - — JOHN McCORMACK NeV Orleans, La. On udv’cc of his physicians. John McCormack, the tenor, has postponed all concert- engagements until .March :nd left here for Miami. Fla., Tuesday 10. where he will spent about two weeks resting, it was announced here. Mr. McCormack arrived, here Saturday and en route contracted a slight cold, which was aggravated Saturday afternoon when he attended the races. He announced that he had originally planned to take < short vacation in March and that he would go now, filling h's February concert dates in March. Dr. S. M. Blackshear, who is attending Mr. McCormack, said his condition was not regarded as serious, but it was probable he would be forced to remain in his room several days at least. It was announced that Mr. McCormack was very hoarse and his throat was inilamed, although he had little if any temperature. 0 Night Coughing Stopped Quickly By SimpleTreatmeDt Thousands who nre troubled with persistent coughing at night, which by robbing, them of valuable deep weakens their ss stems and lays them open to dangerous iniectlons, can qolckly act to prevent this danger through a very simple treatment People who have lis rdly be .-a stlil - to i<st at all en n-'oait of coughing spell:-- have found they can sleen the whole night through undisturbed often the i r.'t time they try it. The treatment is based on a. remarkable prescription known as Dr. King’s New Discovery for CtMighs. You simply take a teaspr.onful at iiigkt before retiring, and hold it la your throat for 15 or 20 set ends before swallowing it, without following with water. The prescription lias a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly loosens and removes the phlegm and congestion which are the direct ca.--.se of the coughing. The result-is you usually sleep soundly the very first night, nnd the entire cough condition goes in a very short time. The prescription is highly recommended for coughs, chest colds, hoarseness, and bronchitis, and is wonderful for children's coughsand spasmodic croup—no harmful drugs. Economical, too, .as the dose Is only one teaspoonful. At all good druggists. Ask far
