MRS. MARTHA E. BLACK “There is nothing unusual about tny desire to tell others about Konjola," said Mrs. Martha E. Black, 427 Euclid Ave., Indianapolis, “and I hope tny experience will help others to regain their health. I suffered terribly from kidney, liver and bowel troubles. I was forced to rise as often as six times nightly and I had a constant pain across my back. Constipation filled my system with po sons, my liver was sluggish and I became very nervous. “I began to feel better soon after I began taking Konjola. This was the first medicine to help me. Seven bottles of this medicine made an end of my health troubles and I now feel fine. That was three years ago and not one of my ailments has returned to this day. I occasionally take a tew doses of Konjola to keep myself in good health." Taken after meals over a six to e ght week period, Konjola has proven America’s most popular medicine for ailments of the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels, and rheumatism, neuritis and nervousness. Konjola Is sold in Decatur, Ind., at the B. J. Smith drug store, and by all the best druggists in all' towns throughout this pntire section. I

Objectives in the change would be to gain increased efficiency; central location; better transportation facilities; greater availability for the 800 high schools; nearness to athletic facilites based by the I. H. S. A. A., at Butler university; availability of a place to hold board i hearings and legislative body meetings without renting hotel rooms, ! and better service to schools. G. Hay Sharp of Andrews, is president of the board, and other .members are Floyd I. McMurray, Thorntown; Hen H. Watt, Owensjville; Harry N. Mourer, Bedford, -and Henry J. Heid. Monticello. LEADERS START FINAL STRETCH New York. Sept. 9 —(U.R) —The four National League contenders gathered here today for the drive down the home stretch in one of the strangest pennant races in all baseball history. The first and third place clubs, the Chicago Cubs and Brooklyn Robins, opened a 3-game series at Ebbets field. The second and fourth place clubs, the St. Louis Cardinals and New York Giants, commenced a 4-game series at the Polo grounds. Any one of the four can win the pennant, with the Giants the least likeliest and the Cubs, despite their 2’4 game lead, barely rated above the Cardinals, driving hard in one of the greatest winning streaks of the season. Brooklyn bounded back into the thick of the fight yesterday by a double victory over the Phillies which left the Robins only 3*4 games ftom the Cubs. \ Based on their form the last 10 days the Cubs have shot their best bolt and nothing less than a miracle can bring them home in front unless the pitching staff does a right about face. Joe McCarthy was in a quandary today for a pitcher to open against Brooklyn. Pat Malone, Charley Root. Guy Bush and Bob Osborn all seem to have gone stale, and Sheriff Blake has a kidney ailment which may keep him out of action until the last days of the season. In addition Rogers Hornsby has strained his back muscles and is not likely to play in the Brooklyn series unless in the role of pinchhitter. The Cardinals, victorious in 22 out of their last 26 games, have pulled up from almost nowhere to within striking distance of the Cubs and their pitching staff, with Grimes, Hallahan, Rhem and Ha nes, hitting on all cylinders, promises to keen the Red birds in the race right down to the finish. T h« Cards have a 7-game winning streak intact. After three days of rest last week the Robins seem to have taken a new lease on life and have won four straight games up to today. Wilbert Robinson, conv need that his left-handers can't beat the Cubs, has three righthanders. Ray Phelps, Adolfo Luque and Dazzv Vance, primed for the league-leaders. The Robins certainly carry all the advantage going into the series today, but the old Cubs' jinx which has 14 victories in 19 games played this season may sound the final death knell over the Flatbush hopes. As for the Giants, this team has squandered more opportunities than anv of the contenders. Even John J. McGraw considers the Giants out of the running, failing to send a sepresentative to Chicago for the world series meetinc yesterday. The unusual status of the Cubs and other factors, Including 18 of the'r remaining games at home, may contrive to put the Giants back into the race, even though it would take a near miracle for them to cop the flag. The Giants today were 4 games belting the Cubs. o REVOLT AVERTED BY GOVERNMENT (CONTINUED FROM PACE ONE) ernment to the Irigoyenist plotters, was discovered only after severe street fighting and bloodshed had marked inauguration of the Uriburu administration. The government ordered the arrest of former President Irigoye» and other leaders of the fallen regime, including the former vicepresident, Enrique Martinez, and all ministers of the Irigoyen cabinet. They were blamed for plotting to spread terror. A proclamation issued when the capital—dazed and apprehensivecairned down today, warned that any citizen found carrying arms would be court martialed. A second proclamation said the government had discovered a large number of machine guns belonging to the government had fallen into the hands of private individuals. The persons were given 12 hours to | surrender the guns or face sumjmary court martial.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1930.

I ft - |j ir Seems sort of good to th nk of f football again. And it seems un- * - usually good to hear reports of . I the Yellow Jacket squad this year ■ | —and better still to see them 1 work out The Jacketmen will be ia real foe* this season if they get , 1 a little football courage. ~ To date Footbawls has watched with negative results 1 the columns of the Suburb 1 paper—but our search won’t 1 alwavs be in vain, and we're positive that some day soon Old Buck, The Fronty Ford ’ head on the old model T Roger used to drive, will start oiling his gears columnward. We understand they're considering playing football, or at least attempting football over the way. This county high school | softball baseball league is I growing a lot of Interest * around. Monmouth and Monroe appear to be the battlers j again this fall. 1 Mark October 30 on your calena ’ar—The Decatur high school Yelt 'ow Jackets do the sting act that , dav with the suburban kittens, at - Bluffton. j There's a merry battle on tap f out at Country Club field for tackle and guard positions. Busse. Roop, Parrish. Zerkle r and Ford, all great big boys are all showing their quality ; and all are beqginq for tackle berths. Tiny Horton says to date it’s a toss up—and may ? the best men win. s Then Ford and Bu°se and Hurst and Musser are scrapping for the i guard position when the two former players aren't fighting for s ‘aekie berths —All the above mentioned would fill an average size - freight train —and brother there's ’ dynamite :n them liones. Herb Curtis, athletic direcI tor. has been helping work the boys out and Herb says 3 with the wealth of material 1 which is ours this year, the Jackets will go places, right from the start. Decatur's schedule, published in ► 'his column yesterday as has been i the custom for the last several t rears contains the names of the ‘ three Fort Wayne schools. i f A rivalry of the keenest sort s exists between Auburn and Decatur, but it has never been heated * to such a pitch as to boil. The folks that mimed those American Legion junior league baseball games this summer, just haven’t baseball inclinations—All of the scores were 1 lower and most of the games, were better than most of the games played in the Central r league. Th" Moose players, successful in winning the most game o , were •’ ward ed r°d sweater-coats with Moose emblems on the fronts—a worthy recognition for a worthy * bunch of players. 8 What, no rule book, Mr. Elliott? * The N. E. I. officials association >’ has -been glided for the past two p vears by the never faltering Walter *1 Geller. That distinguished official e conducted h's meetings much in e ’he same manner that he mastered t tough situation o in athletic events —and 'f you think he didn’t have some tough situations to handle, i, ivst get Gunnar Elliott, Bruff e Clearv. Zeke Young, Pop Tudor n and Herb Curtis in one room toe gether. And how about sending some contributions in early this year. Footbawls can’t get exactly down to brass tacks until after the street r fair—He’s always had a weakness ’’ for tents and strange Hawaian ’• music. i- >• Today the Chicago Cubs, our n world’s greatest choice, start (1 on their last eastern trip of e the major league season. We're nulling for Joe McCary thy’s boys to win the pennant, and believe they’ll come through in good shape—This e has undoubtedly been one of <• the greatest and most success6 ful seasons financially in the last twenty.

Mr. Cooley made the follow’rg 1 remarks concerning the contest. 8 1 "The teams entered in the 3.000 pound class today were as fine as r could be found in the state. A '■ great improvement was shown in 6 the way the horses were driven 3 this year. The contestants do well to pay more attention to the fitting of collars. Some collars worn are too short to give best results." Continuing Mr. Cooley stated. 1 When a team has tightened Its traces there should be sufficient room between the horses collar and neck to insert a man's hand.” Mr. Cooley complimented Mr. Lehman on his ’driving skill and i .
