She said her husband came home Sunday night, saying he would kill every one in the house. Later her son, Floyd, came in and she said she told him not to let his father see him. She said Floyd wept to his room and started to retire when the fattier went to the room and began to abuse and curse his son. He said something about killing the two daughters and Floyd spoke in their j behalf. She said this enraged Joseph I Meetze and that he grabbed the son and a scuffle started.

Notice is hereby given that we have instructions to receive applications for loans on farm lands from the federal Land Bank of Columbia. The United States Supreme Court has decided the question raised against the bank in its favor. It has been nearly twelve months since the bank has ceased making loans and its office force has been dismissed and will have to be reassembled agaif and the sale of farm loan bonds has been discontinued pending this suit and these sales win nave to De gotten under way again as this is the only source from which the bank obtains money to loan. So the applications that are now put in may not be acted upon finally and loans granted for several months. In the present financial condition of the country the bank is anxious to do all it can to relieve the stress and for that reason desires to make loans first to parties who are most in need, and while applications will be received from all persons desiring to make these those which appear to be most pressing will be first made. In view of the advance' rate of money the interest on loans has been raised from 5 1-2 to 6 per cent. No loans are made by the Federal Land Bank to any person except those who are actually engaged in operating their own farms. C. M. EFIRD, ? * Secretary-Treasurer.

I was so sick that I even went [ to Hot Springs, Ark., but got no relief, so at last I made up my mind tp use the Cascade as you instructed and I went along using it for at least one r year, and since then I have had no use for drugs at all| It is about*three years ago that I started, since then I i -P/-W* A r?n era onrl iiavt; liUl spent a vein, n/i ui uqu uuu if I feel a little out of the way or have a cold, or headache, I just fall back on it and it never goes back on me.
