Nobody's Business Written for The Chronicle by Gee McGee. Copyright, 1PJ8. How To He Good A few night* ago, after hearing a renJ interesting talk at prayermeeting on friendship, congeniality, and personality, 1 made up my mind that I would begin the following day and have a kind word for everybody, and not let a mean thought enter my mind or a grating word escape my lips. And I started out that memorable Thursday morning bent on being a natural born sunshine toter. I drove to the postofftce, got out of the car, an<J started through the revolving door, and unthoughtedly, I began pushing the wrong way. A.i old fellow that was pushing against me on the other side out pushed me j and said: "Rubin, if this is your first trip to town, you ought not have got out of the wagon without a guide." I bit my lip and didn't tell him-to gotohel, 'but I couldn't get a gentle word out of my bull shoofe" to save?my- life. I stopped a minute at a drug store. A fmarl Aleck walked up and puUci u feather off my hat. and said: "I thought I heard somebody in dud'* chicken roost last night, but 1 had r . j not idea who it was till you blew In. What can 1 do (or you, old Shang hai?" 1 aaid "Nothing at all, than* you." 1 bit my lip again and kept from telling hirn where he could go if he needed my permission. 1 g??l to the office all right. The bookkeeper told me before he said "Good morning" that Skinmen an 1 Dodge had just been visited by the sheriff with a padlock. About 9148.67 began to shimmy before my eyes. The office stove began back-firing about that time, and it was squirting soot all over everything from my clean collar on down to my stationery, the drawer* to which had been left opejn. Then u man phoned me to send over ami get them 60 bags of oats that we had hauled to his storj through mistake. 1 smiled in the phone as gently aa possible and hung up. v Before 1 know anything else, a book agent bobbed up. He had a lino that was as slick^as a string of tripej. 1 couldn't stop him, or even muke him hesitate. He talked and he talked and he talked. His face was so close to mine he'd spit in my eyes very time he opened his mug He mentioned Shakespeare, Voltaire, ( ole Blea?e, Sen. Borah, mike (.'lark^ it'll, and (leopatria all in the same breath. 1 told him if he and them books didn't get out of my office at once thai the sanitary department would be looking for his carcass in 5" minute- with spy-glasses. He left 5 hours later. I began to cuss right straightout by 1 1 I insulted nearly everybody that called hut my wife, and she had to cut her news story down to one inch. 1 am thru trying to be unnatural. I have always undertaken to be pleasant, but 1 didn't know before that a fellow couldn't be pleasant if the Lord had failed to "dose" h.m with that inclination.

Secure planting seed of dependable quality for all crops. Study fertilizer needs so that buying may be intelligent. Topdress small grains with ammoniates last of this month. I)o not, burn last year's*crop residues; our soil* are very deficient in organic matter. Horticulture Plant trees and shrubs before any signs of activity appear. Plow the garden and prepare for planting'early vegetable*-. Make heavy applications of barnyard manure over the garden and around fruit trees. Prepare the hotbed for growing jjarly cabbage, lettuce, pepper, tomatoes, and egg plants. Plant strawberries, dewberries ?nl blackberries during February. Get a good fertilizer for the garden; and 8-4-1 will give good result* for all kinds of vegetables. Entomology Spray fruit trees for San Jose Scale. f.'?

Animal Husbandry Feed bred sows enough of a well balanced ration to keep them gradually gaining in flesh until farrowing time. Place feed troughs in dry clean spots and much feed will be saved. If the beef cattle breeding herd is thin in flesh, feed some legume hay. Gives ewes all the legume hay they will eat and one-half pound of grain per head per day. If feeding grass hay and ear corn, allow each mule about one pound of cottonseed meal per day. Dairying Repair pasture fences in preparation for summer grazing period. Clean out under-bush; stop washes. .Manure thin places in pasture and seed with proper grasses where needed. Examine calves for lice, applying lit:seed oil where found.

And his musket moulds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new, . And the soldier was passing f??r; And that was the time when our Little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there. "Now don't you go till I come," he said, "And don't you make any noise." So, toddling off to his trundle bed* He dreamed of the pretty toys. fjS ' ' j. But Little Boy Blue never returned to his little toy friends. We are not told why. Was it, perhaps, because toL Uuit arch ?o?my of childhood, diphtheria, the "strangler?" Since Eugene Field wrote this touching storyrrr 1887 nearly a million little boys and girls in the United States have left their toys and todr.' died off to bed, never to play wit'.tj them again because diphtheria robbed them of their young lives. The death rate from this disease is heaviest among preschool children. Eighty five out of every hundred who die of it are children under ten years of age, and two-thirds of these are under five? ,, Country children are more susceptible than city children, and the chil-' dren of the well-to-do are more sol than those of the poor.. This is be-! cause c ity children and poor children ! are more frequently exposed and infected, and those who escape wit.i mild attacks of the disease become immune. But it is taking a terrible chance to depend on any child's developing immunity in this way. Many die in the process. Germs ui^ of various forms, some spherical, some spiral, some rod j shaped. Those shaped like rods are! called bacilli ("little rods"). The cause of diphtheria is a bacillus first described in 1883-84 by Klebs And Loeffler, and named for ^hese two men, the Klebs-Loeffler bacillus. Most people are familiar with the fact that poisons are produced by certain plants, such as opium by the poppy and bealladonna by the deadly nightshade. In a similar manner diphtheria bacilli, which are vegetable organisms, produce in the body of their victim poisons or toxins which enter the blood and are carried to all parts of the body. In this way these toxins reach and damage the heart, kidneys and nervous system. It is these poisons that have caused ' paralysis in some patients who have received antitoxin too late, and not! the antitoxin, as has sometimes been erroneously thought. I Let us all concentrate on protecting children from this menace, ar^i drive diphtheria into the discard. Chicago, Jan. 20?Col Robert W.
