Armistice day promised to be a
gloomy event for a Mew York mem-
ber of the American Legion and a Chi-
cago Legionnaire,who found themselves
in Ciuttenberg, la., on a business mis-
ion. Broadway and State street rem-
iniscences were cut short, however, by
Legionnaires of the Prairie la Porte
post, who raided the hotel at which
the strangers were stopping and
promptly made them chief guests at the
post dinner.

MIDWAY
TOO LATE FOR LAST WEEK
The fact that no report from Midway
has appeared in the Times-Democrat
for sometime does not mean that we
have ceased to exist. We have just been
busy gathering i'm- fleecy staple. The
price at .which it's selling this fall
makes it compulsory for one to work
overtime in order to make a living. For
proof of that statement you are respect-
fully referred to any cotton farmer or
cotton picker in the t'nited States
School started again Monday, Dec.
13. after a vacation of ten weeks. The
attendance is small on account of th<j
fact that great many of the pupils are
still* picking cotton, A full enrollment
is expected again after Christmas.
School will only be dismissed one
day (Friday) for Christmas. There will
be a community Christmas tree at the
school house on Friday night.
On Sunday, Dec. 12, it was voted by
the Midway Union Sunday School to
hold Sunday school In the afternoon
instead of in the forenoon as hereto-
fore. This was thought best because
of the fact that a gre'at many people
wish to attend church at Eldorado,
Odema, and other places in the fore-
noon. The attendance at Sunday
school last Sunday afternoon was much
larger we believe on account of this
change in time.
Prof. Smith,-^superintendent of Mid-
way school, went to Altus Saturday to
attend the conference of <chool men of
the county. The purpose of the meeting
was' to form plans for the basket baH
tournament next spring. He came back
well satisfied with the results of the
meeting.

Her old fashioned but effective way conquers
Croup, Colds, Grippe and Pneumonia by using this
simple, sane and efficient treatment. First she rubs
the afflicted part with the hand until a warm glow
comes to the skin, ^en she applies hot applications
to open the pores and increase the circulation. An ap-
plication of RUB-A-COLD, the stitch in time remedy,
is followed with woolen flannel cloths, and presto—The cold is
soon gone. RUB-A-COLD is made from wool fat, the most
penetrating of all animal oila. Combined with thia ointment
are harmleee but stimulating properties that sink right Into the
open pores and drive out the pain and congestion. This method
strikee at once at the seat of the trouble. It calls to the front
fresh, warm blood to oust genu and to build up where they have
torn down. RUB-A-COLD opens up the
breathing passages leaving a soothing sensation
that is of great assistance to the sufferer.

MILK—rich and fresh—
Whether you live in the city or country,
haven't you often wished you could have
ell the rich, pure, fresh milk you want

Kiim Powdered Milk.
Klim IS Milk with the water removed.
Nothing is added — nothing taken out
but the water.
When you want liquid milk you re-
place the water.

Think what this amazing discovery of
modern science means to you! It means
that wherever you are, at any moment
you want it, you can have an abundance
of the freshest and best milk. It means
that you have milk that never sours—
that needs no ice to keep it that does
not freeze in winter — that can be opened
hundreds of times and always be as fresh
as the day it was powdered.
