DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1929.

The DECATUR-NORTH SIDE game will be played next Saturday afternoon at' Fort Wayne. The game had previously been announced for Friday, hut the correct date Is Saturday, October 5. Footbawls feels sorry over the decision of Huntington high school officials to withdraw from the N. E. I. conference. In the first place it appears as if Huntington had a just cause to register a complaint It is this writer's belief that regardless of what the conference officials decided, sport writers and fans regard the Viking team as the 1929 baseball champions. —oOo— And then too, the Vikings always have good athletic teams —in any sport the Vikings were never a set-up. It Huntington high school does carry out its decision to withdraw from the N. E. I. conference in 1930. the loss will be felt more by the conference than by Huntington. We sincerely hope that conference or no conference the Deca-tur-Huntington athletic events will continue. And between now and 1930 let's all hope the mess gets straightened out. The YELLOW JACKETS are practicing hard for the coming scrap with the Indians. Keep it up Yellow Jackets—and BEAT NORTH SIDE . —oOo — WE STILL VERY FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT ALL ATHLETIC OFFICIALS SHOULD CARRY RULE BOOKS WHEN OFFICIATING ANY ATHLETIC EVENT. —oOo — The Jacketmen all came out of the Bryan fracas in good shape, and let’s knock on wood—no one has been seriously hurt all season. —oOo — The kid football games played Saturday afternoon drew a lot of interest and attention. It’s not so much who wins these games as it is that they play them every week. It means that in a few short years a lot of “footballwise” boys will be entering high school as freshmen. That’s something that never has occurred here. —oOo—

Footbawls is coming out flat-footed (and Mary says flat-headed) and pick Chicago to win the world series. We're banking that guess on the fact that the two best pitchers on the Athletic staff are south-handers and the Cubs have been slugging the "lefties” all over the lot this season. Don’t bank too much on Footbawl’s choice. We're the same fellow that picked Al Smith to win—and Decatur to win the basketball sectional last spring—Loughran to whip Sharkey—but anyway we're picking the Cubs. Monroe high school appears to be best in the baseball league this fall. Second place is still a toss-up between Kirkland and Monmouth with the Root township boys holding a slight advantage now. Hartford broke into the win column last Friday—and Pleasant Mills appears better each game. Walter Craig, former pro at the Decatur Country Club is visiting in Decatur. Walt hasn’t been playing any golf this season because of injuries he sustained in an automobile accident last spring. —oOo — And speaking of golf some of these bugs around here just won’t give up. They’re out there every night playing —until dark or later. —oOo — Send in your guesses folks, on the Decatur-North Side game. * There ought to be a lot of good athletes at the Junior high school. Most any noon a passer-bye can see a basketball, football and baseball game going on at the same time. —oOo— These brisk fall mornings certainly are football days. The PEP CHAMPS and a hundred more are planning on attending the North Side game Saturday. It’s going to be a great game and the Jacketmen will feel more like winning if there are a lot of fans at the game. —oOo — Let’s take ’em as they come—BEAT NORTH SIDE. o — INDIANAPOLIS MAN GIVES SOUND ADVICE FOR SAVING (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE! one day and said he wanted to sell out all his securities, that he had a chance to buy an interest in a Broadway theatrical production.

PAMTAGESGOES ON TRIAL TODAY Faces Assault Charge In Same Court Where Wife Was Convicted Los Angeles. Oct. I—(U.R1 —(U.R) —Alexander Pantages, the man who ran a small Alaskan gold field stake Into a 130,000,000 theater business, went to trial here today charged with assaulting a young girl who sought work on his vaudeville circuit.

More and More Colds Treated Externally Growing Demand for Vicks Compels Another Increase in Famous Slogan A generation ago, when Vicks Vapoßub was originated, the idea of treating colds without “dosing" was almost unheard of. Today more and more colds are treated externally and the whole trend of medical practice Is away from needless “dosing". As a result, the demand for Vicks has increased so rapidly that it is again necessary to change its familiarslogan. First announced when Vicks reached "17 Million Jars Used Yearly," this famous slogan was raised to "21 Million" a short time ago. Once more the figure has been outgrown, as there are now "Over 26 Million Jars Used Yearly" in the United States alone. Mothers of young children especially appreciate Vicks, because there's nothing to swallow and, of course, nothing to upset delicate stomachs, as “dosing” is so apt to do. Just rubbed on, this modern vaporizing ointment acts through the skin like a poultice or plaster, and at the same time it gives off medicated vapors which are inhaled direct to the inflamed air passages Year after year the popularity of Vicks has spread all over the world until it is now the family standby for all colds—adults’ as well as children's—in more than 60 countries,
