SCENIC SPECTACLE IN BIG BEND SECTION In Wild Country on Mexican Border, Far From Railroad, Cavalry and Guard Boundary Amdist Can yons and Forests. (New York Times.) Time and egain during the last de cr.de the Big Bend of Texas has had an importnnt place in the ncws of the troublenome Mexican border. It was in the Big Bend that two of the thrae big raids were made from Mexico in to the Unitc(l States and more recent ly it was in the same territory that the American army aviatcrs, Peter son and Davis, were capturmd by the Chico Cano band, to be held for a $15, 000 rancom. Guarding the Big Bend is one of the most important of the problems that confront military administration on the border, and has cost many American lives. No section of the country can a more thoroughly Am erican citizenship than can Brewster, Presidio, Terrell and Valverde coun ties, which form the American side of U Let I U m m Talk No. 5 Selling Land By U m Our Own Modern m Auction Methods. m * Talersbur SAucti N athonas.B GrevilU Wahvi tUtittittt~t sU Uamamsamn THI RE U n l te UBOT the great crescent. of the Rig Grande.

Follow Old Indian Trails In umberless instances the military routes are nothing more than ancient trails, the same used b ythe Indians in the days before white men emi grated into the Big Bend country. These roads and trails lead thru a veritable fairyland of the high jag ged mountains, deep canyons and beautiful valleys. From the nearest railway point to the Candelaria-Rui dosa country is about 100 miles.

Kathleen; Fla.--Mrs. Dallas Prins, of this place, says: "After the birth of my last child...I got very much t run-down and weakened, so much that I could hardly do anything at all. I was so awfully nervous thpt I could scarcely endure the least noise. My condition was getting worse all the time... I know I must have some relief or I would soon be in the bed and in a serious condition for I felt so badly and was so nervous and weak I could hardly live. My husband asked Dr. about my taking Cardul. He said, 'It's a good medicine, and good for that trouble', so he got me 6 bot ties.. .After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved. ..before taking it my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, thie poor circulation disap peared. My strength came back to i me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot ties, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children be sides." You can feel safe In giving Cardul a thorough trial for your troubles. It contains no harmful or habit-forming drugs, but Is composed of mild, vege table, medicinal Ingredients with no bad after-effects. Thousands of women have voluntarily written, telling of the good Cardul has done them. should help you, too. Try it. E as is to be found in any section of the country of equal size. The deer are numbered in the thousands, quail are to be found everywhere in coun less coveys, while bear is plentiful in the mountains. Theic are pathers, wild cats and rattlesnakes, too. The ranches which dot the Big Bend are among' the finest in the Southwest. The grass rivals the blue grass of Kentucky and Tennessee, and the herds of cattle and flocks of An gora goats are conceded to be among the most valuable to be found any where on this continent. Some of these great ranches, owing to the fact that they are near the border, are protected by blockhouses, to be defended b ythe cowboys in the event of raids until troops can arrive from one or more of the little army posts maintained in every part of the Big Bend country.

CO-OP'ERATrIVE HOG SALE IN BEAUFORT COUNTY. Clemson Colilege, Mar. 19.-Seven Bleaufort pounty farners wvith ;the assistance of C. L. Baxter, County1 Agent, and F. L. Hiarkey, Extension Service Marketing Agent, shippedI two cars of hogs co-operaitively last week, which netted the farmers 2 to3 3 cents more than the local marketof fered. One car was shipped to Wil-3 mington, N. C., and the' other Green ville, S. C. Most of the hogs came off the islands around Beaufort and were loaded andl shipped, says Mr. Ularkey, ' undlerc onsidlerable difficulties as there3 were no grading pens or scales for this3 use at the shipping point.I The marketing agent followved the Greenville car through the slaughter house operations in order to find out whether the hogs killed were bard or "soft." They had run an pasture with3 abundance of acorns, and had then3 been fed on corn for three or four3 weeks previous to shipment. Most of these hogs turnedl out "soft" pork ,for which it is impossible to get top pricesi It apepars that a few weeks finishing on corn will not make firm pork out3 of "soft" hogs. I Many of the hogs now going out of3 South Carolina, .'accoraling to Mr. lHarkey, are killing "soft", and the big market; (do not want to take them at all. Mr. liarkey advises that hog3 growers studly the local Carolina mar-~ kets since by (doing so they will often3 be able to get better prices for hogs3 about wvhich there is doubt as to3 whether the product willl be hard or "soft." in the case of the two ca rs shippedl from Beaufort considerably3 better prices were secured from3 Greenville and Wilmington than could3 have been secured~ in Richmond, Balti more andl other biggne mnet Hill Plumbing a PLUMBING, REPA Nimmer Bldg., near Po MANNIN mmmmmuuummtumrmumtumum WE CAN SAVE BY MAKING YOUI SERVICI We are doing it for ti not for you?
