As one who used to play short
stop on several International polo
teams, and who has had wide ex
perience in football (we once saw
4 came), we have decided to arise
and enter a protest against the name
the Elkin high school football
team, "Buckin Elks."
NERVOUS?
SLEEPLESS?
If you are nervous and rest
less; if you can't sleep, tire
easily, have Nervous Headache,
Nervous Indigestion; if you have
Sea Sickness, Train Sickness, '
Auto Sickness—take Dr. Miles'
Effervescent Nervine Tablets.
Dr. Rogers, noted educator,
writes:
"My wife has been suffer
ing from nervousness and
sleeplessness and we find
Dr.. Miles'. Effervescent
Nervine Tablets a great re
lief.
"I don't go much on pat
ent medicines, but it's a
pleasure to recommend a
remedy that is really good "

With all due respect to those
most excellent gentlemen who se
lected the name, in our opinion it is
a misfit, is senseless and inane,
whatever that means, and if we
didn't detest the word "lousy", we
would say it was that too.
We have spoken to several of the
boys on the team in regards to their
opinion, and so far we have found
no one but who held our opinion.
Smehow we can't get the connec
tion between "Buckin" and "Elks".
It may be. Is probably, in fact, that
we are just too dumb to appreciate
"Buckin Elks", but in our humble
estimation "Fighting Elks", or
"Scrapping Elks", or even "Em
battled First Cousins to a Deer"
would be more fitting. Already the
name has been made fun of.
And now we bet Mr. Schaff will
be mad at us.

A GREAT SUCCESS
Who said Elkin couldn't put over
a community fair? Yes, Percy, you
LOST 20 LBS. OF FAT
IN JUST 4 WEEKS
Mrs. Mae West of St. Louis, Mo.,
writes: "I'm only 28 yrs. old and
weighed 170 lbs. until taking one
box of your Kruschen Salts just 4
weeks ago. I now weigh 150 lbs. I
also have more energy and further
more I've neyer had a hungry mo
ment."
Fat folks should take one half
teaspoonful of Kruschen Salts in a
glass of hot water in the morning
before breakfast—it's the SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens of
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for
and get Kruschen at any drug store
—the cost is but a trifle and if af
ter the first bottle you aro not joy
fully satisfied with results—money
back.
THE ELKIN TRIBUNE, ELKIN, NORTH CAROLINA
may leave the room. Now as we 
were saying, who said Elkin, :
couldn't put over a fair? And a
darn .good one—one that was far
better than most folks expected.
However, there was one thing
about it that we didn't like. We
were in the exhibition hall early 
Friday morning putting some finish-' i
Ing touches on The Elkin Tribune ;
booth, when along came several gen- i
tlemen who turned out to be judges.
They were awarding the prizes be
fore the doors opened for the day. |
11
Well, as we were saying, we were i
in our booth doing a little hammer- | 
ing, when along came the judges 11
and before we had time to know j
what it was all about, one of them j1
pinned a whfte tag on us. And on i i
it was marked: "FREAK. THIRt) ,
PRIZE" (
Wouldn't that slay you? Even ]
if we have to be classed a freak by 
mistake, looks like we cculd at least
win FIRST PRIZE.
STRANGE INTERLUDE: We
were talking to Charlie Brewer
since we wrote the beginning of this
colyum, about the "Buckln Elks"
and he said old man Noah Webster
says that when Elks fight it is
called "bucking." Looks like .it
ought to be "butting", what with
all the horns or antlers or some
thing they have. However, since
this is cleared up and if you like
the name, who am I to interfere?
But back to the fair, where we
were in the second place. Every
one appears to be pleased with it,
even the civic betterment league,
and when you find something that
suits them, you've found something!
Still, you can't ever tell. Firstl
thing you know there will be a j
rumor going the rounds that one
of the town officials swiped a' pota
to, or something.
Anyway, the best step Elkin could
take would be to announce another
fair for next year, right away.
* • *
SNAKES AND THINGS
Speaking of the Civic Betterment
league, it appears to us that there
is a good opening for a branch-of
fice over in Yadkinville. That is;
if they have iime, or did they take
Nux Harris' suggestion in regards
to the water snake situation up at
the Roaring Gap fish hatchery?
One local gentleman in discus
sing Nux's suggestion before the
Izaak Walton league a couple of
Saturdays ago, was wondering just
what he meant. Whether the
was accustomed to fighting two-leg
ged snakes, or what?
But why bring that up? Because j
if they did turn their attention to j
the fish hatchery snakes, have we
any proof that scandal would ex
terminate them—especially scandal
that may be true but more than like
ly is just something to drool off the
tongues of those who have nothing
else to do—but tear down.

THIS SPACE RESERVED
It is now shortly before the Elk
in-M. P. I. football game, last Fri
day. Therefore, we will reserve this
space for the "Buckiri Elks'", to
be written after the game is over.
Monday, October 3, 3:45 o'clock,
Eastern Standard Time, Elkin, N.
C.— (United Pest) —The Elkin I
high school "Buckin Elks," in their 1
first game here Friday afternoon,
defeated a heavy team from Moun
tain Park Institute by the heavy
score of 0 to 0. The victory was
I moral.
Their first time up to the bat in
a real football game, both the pitch
ers and shortstops worked well. Joe
Transou sustained a bloody nose
Tand Gene Hall, candidate for ail-
American wholeback, lost hte hel
met, but retained his head.
Everyone was surprised and de
lighted at the really creditable
showing of the local team. Coach
Hood was seen to cut 49% hand
springs across the field directly af
ter the game ended, while Superin
tendent Schaff became BO excited
that main force had to be used to
keep him from making some an
nouncements,
\
Credit tot the hardest work dur
ing the entire game shouid go to
Doc. Abernethy. He ran up and
down the> field so many times that
after the game someone had to
lean him against a pole.
This reporter has neither Jthe
space or the time to enter into the.
individual merits of members of
the team. Let it be said that the
entire squad showed a spirit that
should carry them far before the
season is over and that so far we
have tound no one who wasn't
proud of thorn. We might also add
that we are not trying tc belittle
M. P. I. The Mountaineers very
nearly scored in the closing min
utes and they had a fake play that
had the local hopes puzzled. Both
teams played clean football with
no kicks coming. Full details will
be found elsewhere In this issue—
or as full as we can get them# So
now run along and let us sleep.
(Editor's Note: The above ac
count was written by Simpson, who
for the nast several months has !
been on the staff of that great
news gathering agency, the United
Pest.)

Tins AND THAT
And now we hear it rumored
down town that the management of |
the Golden Rule carnival wouldn't i
allow the show to come here for'
fear of the moral effect the town,
might have on the show personnel?
• * *
At this writing we understand
the powers that be are planning on
stopping the exhibition of the only
circus that has been brave enough
to even look in this direction with
in the past several years, due to a
town ordinance that says circuses
and things are not allowed. We
can't see what the ordinance has to
do with it. Seems to us that there
is an ordinance* against double
parking here, but who over heard
of that being enforced? Then why
pick on the circus?
• • *
Personally, we think it was a
wise move that held the carnival
out, but goodness me, looks like
they could consider the feelings ot
us boys and girls who had rather
go to a circus than eat.
• • • •
But maybe the commissioners
will have rubbed out the circus or
dinance by the time this reaches
print. If they haven't, we may be
forced to speak to -them about it.
But why bring that up? »
