Wha* Happened af the Sport Carnival
"Two Big Days" Were Promissd Visitors Who Would Come to Cashion
Friday and Saturday, October 6th and 7th to Attend the Sport
Carnival, by the Cashion Commercial Club, and
They Made Good Their Promise

For the next several months,
scarlet fever, supposed to be a
germ disease, will do its best to
invade the homes and schools of
Oklahoma, its dangers, unliappil-
ly and only too well known. The
coming together of children in
poorly ventilated and over-heat-
ed rooms afford excellent oppor-
tunities for the spread of the
disease.
Secretions from the nose and
execretions from the bowels, kid-
neys and skin, are carriers of the
disease and all objects exposed
to such contamination should be
burned or thoroly disinfected. It
is a dangerous disease on account
of its complications.
Sore throat is a symptom in
several infectious diseases and it
is much better to call a doctor at
once than to waste time experi-
menting with home remedies, |
there is less danger of having an jj
epidemic traced to your door, jj
Years ago we were most concern- :|
ed about persons in the "peel-
ing" stage of the disease. We j1
know now that it is the discharge1
esabove mentioned, which con-i
tain the germs, and that the 'i
scales do not carry the infection |
unless the skin has been soiled ;
with the discharges.
The appearance of scarlet fev- 1
er in a home, should be immed-
iately followed by a rigid quaran--.
tine. If there is any discharge !|
from the nose, mouth or ears, j
continue the quarantine under ij
the direction ot a competent j
physician.
Especially remember that if no,
physician is called in, the head
of the family must, at "once, re
port every case of infectious dis- I
ease to the health officer. i
One of the largest crowd in
years gathered here the two days
of the Sport Carnival. Over one
hundred and fifty cars at the ball
game Friday, beside those re-
maining up town. It was esti-
mated that nearly a thousand
pjj^iple saw the ball game Friday
afternoon, and that two or three
hundred remained up town and
thatSaturday'j crowd was equal-
ly as large.
The big carnival opened at 9:30
Friday morning with a big par-
ade, led by the Jazz Orchestra in
Clift's truck. This was the same
orchestra that made the booster
trip on Tuesday and was so
warmly welcomed at all the
towns— a novel feature— piano,
saxophone, trombone and drums.
The school children, decorated
cars and floats of business houses
made up the parade and a large
number of people were in town
to witness this opening event.
Immediately following the par-
ade were held the foot and bi-
cycle ntces. Boys, 12 to 16: John
Calhoun, 1st; Kermit Rider. 2nd;
Boys. G to 8: George Hasley 1st,
Bennie Harman, 2nd. Girls, Jess-
ie Harman, 1st, Augusta Ferreir-
a, 2nd. Bicycle races, t2 to 16:
Harry Klingman, 1st, Leon Ken-
drick 2nd, under 12 years. CI if
ford Stone 1st, Floyd Vancuren,
2nd.
After noon the Crescent High
School met Piedmont High School
at Hesslers Field in a foot ball
game. The Crescent team out-
classed the Piedmont boys in
weight and training. The score
at the finish of the first half was
74 to 0 at which time the game
was called. The C,-escent team
has some excellent material and
shows they have been well coach-
ed. The Piedmont team will
make a much better showing lat-
er on as they have not had the
team work and training they
need.
The next event and one of
the principal events of the Car-
nival was the ball game between
Navina and Cashion. There has
been considerable contention be-
tween these t w o teams, each
striving to outdo the other The
g ime Friday was one of the best
games they have played this
year and the resulting score was
5 to 2 infa/or of the Cashion
team. The battery for Navina
was Smith and Eustep and the
Cashion battery was "Freck"
Lawrence and Jennings. The
ball was started rolling in the
last half of the 3rd inning when
Cooley hit it to the out field and
landed on 3rd. Lawrence came
to the plate with the big stick
and smashed the pill to the jung-
les over the Navina field and cir-
cled the diamond bringing in two
scores. The entire game w&s
hard fought and both teams play-
ed classy ball. A big bunch of
Navina fans were present to see
this game, and while disappoint-
ed over the defeat they can be
proud of their team. No need
to say Cashion fans are proud of
the winners.
The Literary Program given at
8 o'clock Friday evening was en-
joyed by one of the largest night
crowds ever assembled in Cash-
ion. Under the tutilage of Miss
i Powell, primary teacher of the
local school, the little folks of
her room gave a very clever Folk
Dance. This was followed by a
song by the audience led by Supt.
Clark. There were other music-
al nnmbers- a male quartette,
Chastain, Cooley, Clark, Short;
a violin solo by Miss Christina
Price, a vocal solo by Miss Nida
Burchett, and readings by Miss
Mary Carter and Miss Nellie
Stoner.
Following the literary program
was the McCone.Penright wrest-
ling match. This was perhaps
the best wrestling match ever
staged in Cashion. These two
men are well matched in size,
strength and dexterity and gave
a real exhibition of their art.
The outcome of the match was
awarded to McCone. The first
fall went to McCone in 10 min-
uses, the second to Penright in 5
minutes, and the third to Mc-
Cone in 15 minutes. George
Kendrick' of Heeding, and Kube
Beckner in a wrestling bout was
the next attraction, Kendrick
getting the decision, having won
the first fall in 4 minutes, the
third in 6 minutes, losing the sec-
ond fall to Beckner in 1 minute.
"Nig" Eaton and Mack Short' of
near Navina gave a little demon-
stration with the gloves, and the
Ru ld brothers also sparred a f> w
rjunds.
Several folks enjoyed the free
dance at Ted's Winter Garden,
stepping the modern dances un-
til a late hour to the strains of
the local Jazz Foot Warmers.
Saturday morning broke with
a much lower temperature alight
rain having fallen Friday night.
The first event of the day was
the horse and pony races. Ed-

Teach Them
In Childhood
One of the imporiaut things in the child's
early education is'lIIRIFT. It is equally
important as the three "R's" and should not
be overlooked. The youngster should he
trained to save mouev. Teach them to bank
their money and in a few years they will thank
you for pulling them on the thrift road.
Start them with a dollar or five dollars or
uiore and u itch with tlieni liovv the interest
gl'OWf.
IT'S THF. BE SI TRAINING.
