Swatfest in Ninth Inning Won
Victory for Local Nine in the
Twilight Game Wednesday
Afternoon—Flay Again Today
Twas some ball game Wednesday
with Hollis the victim of a four to
three score. It was an uphill fight
all the way, but the Hobart boys a-
gain demonstrated their ability along
this line. Hollis took the lead in the
second inning when Joe Gentry in
left garden misjudged a line drive
off Kern's bnt and it went for a clean
homcrun. Hobart tied the score in
the same inning. In the fifth Hollis
garnered two more scores while the
localites added one. The ninth in-
ning found the score 3-2 in favor of
Hollis. The visitors front at bat
went out in order. Then came the
big artillery. With two men out Flip
pin, the clever little short stop, hit
for a single, then came Rabbit Gen-
try who earlier in the game had pull
ed a marble-top play which permit-
ted of a run. Gentry set himself and
hit for three bags, scoring Flippin
with the winning run. Deal at bat
and Rabbit on third for the last
chance and Deal hit to second base-
man, who fumbled long enough to
permit of Gentry's safe arrival at
home and the batter at first. The
game was over and Hobart won.
The Hobart boys should have sew-
ed the game up earlier but for some
bonehead stunts. The local team did
not show the pep and dash which
characterized the visiting team. One
of the players permitted an easy roll-
ing ball to hit him while running
bases. Deal pitched a fine game and
with proper support could have won
in a canter.
What Hobart need3 is v bit more
of ginger instilled into the infield
and teamwork. They are a bunch of
hitters and of course it is hitting
which wins games.
Hollis rb.ys the second game here
today (Thursday), starting at six o'-
clock sharp, and a big crowd is out
tc see it.
Three .r 00 Hitters

lie Douglas, Chaney and Gentry each

der.
City Guaranty Liberal
D. S. Wolfingcr, president of the
City Guaranty Bank, announced
Thursday morning that his institu-
tion would give $5 to the Hobart
player making the first run in Thurs
day's gamei with the Hollis team and

struct rural post roads throughout

ed among States on the basis of area

Exhausted by its war efforts but
striving valiantly to more firmly es-
tablish itself in the field of home ser
vice the Salvation Army is apoealing
to the citizens of Oklahoma, Texas,
Louisiana and Arkansas for a $1,-
000,000 home service fund. Th? drive
will open in all the Southwestern
states Sept 29th.
'The Salvation Army w^nt into
the war service field in a modest
manner," Lieut. Colonel George Wood
commander of the Southwestern divi-
sion said yesterday. "The instant
success of the workers in the war
field made rapid extension necessary.
The Salvation Army felt that it
could not spare the time or organiz-
ed effort during the war to make con
stant appeals to the American people
for money.
"It consequently mortgaged a great
deal of its property in the United
States for the purpose of raising the
money required for carrying on tfork
in foreign field in unstinted manner.'
Hundreds of soldiers returning
from France give testimony to the
efficient work of the Salvation Army
near the trenches.
"Would you believe it," a soldier
boy said to the commander of the
Dallas district a few days ago, "if I
should tell you that the Salvation
Army lassies dared shell fire the
same as the soldiers. Those girls
never left a front line position until
given express orders to leave.
"I do not know what the citizens of
the Southwest will say but I do know
that the boys who served will back
their mortgage lifting campaign to
the limit."

EDUCATIONAL NEWS ITEMS
Oklahoma City, Aug. 26.—The
Marietta public schools, under the
leadership of Supt. W. C. Johnson,
are making notable progress. Plans
for the coming year contemplate the
erection of a new gymnasium build-
ing, the appointment of a graduate
nurse by the Red Cross who will have
a clinic room in each building where
medical inspection and care will be
given the pupils, and an efficiency
survey of the entire Marietta school
system.
The recent election of Mr. F. H.
Abbott, formerly of Ft. Towson, to
t'4e superintendency of the Stigler
schools should assure an era of edu-
cational progress in that city. A
very able corps of teachers have been
engaged by the Stigler Board of Edu
cation. Two rooms are being added
to the ward building and a quantity
of new apparatus has just been re-
ceived.
Linking up education with the life
of his pupils seems to be the policy
of Supt. J. O. Shaw of the Frederick
schools. Mr. Shaw is stressing Vo-
cational Education, Agriculture, Man
ual Training, Home Economics and
i Teacher Training. He reports that
the results are highly satisfactory.
County Superintendent H. P. Bat-
tles of Muskogee County has solved
the Truancy Officer problems most
satisfactorily. Limited by law to
| $4.00 per day out of the county
funds for the Truancy Officer's sal-
ary, Mr. Battles has arranged with
the County Board and all the ten
District Boards to employ the same
man for Truancy Officer. After pay

A Teacher's Training Course will
be held in Perry the first week in
September for all teachers who in-
tend to teach in Noble county. Closer
and healthier cooperation between
the school board and teaching corps
seems assured for the Copan school
system. The Board has just com-
pleted four modern cottages to be
occupied by the teachers, thus pro-
viding ideal living conditions. Supt.
E. S. McCabe is enthusiastic over the
prospects for growth of the Copan
schools.
State Superintendent R. H. Wilson
has arranged ■ for P. G. Holden, Di-
rector of the Educational Extension
Department of the International
Harvester Company to spend four
weeks in Oklahoma during Septem-
ber, holding four meetings with teach
ers. The meetings are to be held at
Sapulpa, Enid, Chickasha and Durant
About one hundred are expected to
attend each of the meetings and they
will be given intensive training in
teaching agriculture according to
the plan outlined by Mr. Holden. Mr.
Holden has met the demand for a
change in the teaching of the same
work in agriculture each year by a
plan of rotation which takes four
years to complete. Missouri adopt-
ed the plan several years ago for a
few schools and this year is extend-
ing the plan to the schools in all fhe
cities and villages. It is hoped that
this plan will later be extended to
all the schools of Oklahoma. Super-
intendents in thirty counties have
been asked to send some of their best
teachers to these meetings and they
are responding enthusiastically.
Pottawatomie county is progress-
ing nicely with the consolidation of
schools movement, one new district
being organized this year besides
two union graded districts.
The Okmulgee Schools, H. B. Bru-
mer, Superintendent, are showing the
way in the matter of progress. A
new grade building of sixteen rooms
has just been completed while a
$200,000 vocational building is in
process of erection. Courses in auto
repairing, electric and acetylene weld
ing, domestic arts, home nursing and
journalism are a few of those to be
taught in the new building. Four
teachers of backward and precocious
children, have been engaged by the
Beard each of whom are especially
trained and experienced in this work
Okmulgee city schools seem to be
striving for the practical in their ed-
ucational work.

"While I was in Ashland, Kansas,
a gentleman overheard me speaking
of Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea
Remedy," writes William Whitelaw,
of Des Moines Iowa. "He told me in
detail of what it had done for his
family, but more especially his daugh
ter who was lying at the point of
death with a violent attack of dysen-
tery, and had been given up by the
family physician. Some of his neigh
bors advised him to give Chamber-
lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy
which he did, and fully believes that
by doing so saved the life of his child
He stated that he had also used this
remedy himself with equally gratify-
ing results." adv.

Calomel is quicksilver and acta
like dynamite on
your liver.
Calomel loses you a day! You know
what calomel is. It's mercury; quick-
silver. Calomel is dangerous. It-
crashes into sour bile like dynamite,,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be
put into your system.
When you feel bilious, sluggish, con-
stipated and all knocked out and believe
you need a dose of dangerous calomel
just remember that your druggist sells
for a few cents a large bottle of Dodson's
Liver Tone, which is entirely vegetable
and pleasant to take and is a perfect
substitute for calomel. It is guaranteed
to start your liver without stirring you
up inside, and can not salivate.
Don't take calomel! It makes you
sick the next day; it loses you a day's
work. Dodson's Liver Tone straightens
you right up and you feel great. Give
it to the children because it is perfectly
harmless and doesn't gripe.
