A
The first field and track meet of
the season la Jackson county was
held last Friday at the West side
school, district No. 95. It was more
than a field and track meet it was
a general community meeting in
fact, a coming together of several
communities. Seven school districts
were represented by teachers, pupils
and patrons.

noon. They consisted of dashes, all
up Indian club races, basketball for
distance, basketball for goals these
for the girls. And for the boys, dash
Jumps, shot put and pelay race. In
scoring the field events, individual
events did not count, except as they
brought up the average of the school.
In each event the school with the
Kjghest average was awarded first
place, even tho it may not have held
the highest individual record. This
method requires drilling the weak
er ones instead of concentrating on
the stars. Griffin creek school car

scoro of 3D points. Tolo was second
with 22 Mi. Other districts partici
pating were Oak Grove, Howard, Wil

table, and all joined in a real old
fashioned country picnic. The ladies

boys remained outside and played

A mammoth industry of amuse
ment is the Al G. Humes Circus,
whose show places cover the land and
visits every city and every village.
Having such an extensive territory it
is not often tho snmo city has the
opportunity of seing this unusually
amusing, thrilling, educational en
terprise, more than once in three
years.
Mr. Barnes brings this big wild
animal circus to Medford on Wed
nesday, May 2. Al. G. Barnes, some
times referred to ns the wizard of
animal educators, has chosen ns his
profession the art of making people
happy. He has assembled from every
known country animals of most even'
specie and has educated them to do
circus performing. Surely a great
endeavor. That his circus should
be different than nil others he has
specialized in educating animals
thought by all animal students to
be unteuchablc to perform the same
ns dogs or ponies whose abilities to
entertain and nmuso are well known.
As a result groups of llnmns, zebras,
and camels are seen doing nstound-
ing acts. The common donkey edu
cated to sing; elephants to play foot
ball; kanguroos to box and run
races; ostriches to ride and drive.
Hundreds of horses from the wee
Shetland pony to the great Norman,
have been educated to dance, pose
and do military and tango steps
quite beyond anything seen else
where. Mules that buck in the most
delightful fushion, monkeys and dogs
in aerial niul trapeze work. Seals
and sea lions in amusing juggling,
riding and balancing feats.
While the lions, numbering thirty,
nro taught to ride galloping horses,'
and' leap through hoops of fire, one
monster Nubian lion is hoisted to the
top of the tent surrounded by spurt
ing fireworks nnd leopards, tigers
and jaguars are seen in roles extra-
rdinary.

Tfour Nose Knows
By its fragrance alone does the rose
makes its universal appeal. Nor can any
one fool you on tobacco either if you rely
on your unerring, personal sense of pure
fragrance. Tobacco without a definite
pure fragrance is like a rose without
perfume "Your Nose Knows."
But
The Perfect Tobacco for Pipe end Cigarette
is the rose of tobaccos. Its rich, ripe Burley leaves,
grown in the "Blue Grass" region of Old Kentucky,
are so carefully .aged and blended that its pure fra
grance is as individual, as appealing as the rose'
"Your Nose Knows."
Try this Test: Rub a little Tuxedo briskly
in the palm of your hand to
bring out its full aroma.
Then smell it deep its deli
cious, pure fragrance will
convince you. Try this test
with any other tobacco and
we will let Tuxedo stand
or fall on your judgment
