FARM PROBLEMS
I am Berlouely If not dangerously
I afflicted with farm lands. X bought.
I Boiue of this real estate intentionally,
I but acquired most of It thru the proI
cess of lending good money on it to
I forgetful men; they forgot to pay me.
I why, most of them even forgot to
I pay the interest and taxes thereon for
I 6 to 8 years. And then they moved
[ ,,I have about 25 tenants on these
farms. It has been too wet for some
I of them, too dry for others; too hot
. fl. for several families and too cold for
a few of the youngest ones. Some
I quit working their eottop after it got
ankle high; (they explained that the
I government said if they worked it
very much after the drought, they
wouldn't make anything at all except
direct relief).
I ..Some of them hope to make the
| rent, but not many of them are worry;
lng about that. They didn't get their
"govverment" checks in time to put
much Interest in their crops. They
were busy, that is?a,few of them . . .
j | going to the farm director to see
j what In the thunder was wrong with
I the re-settlement treasurer. They are
not worried about the boll weevil.
: They say that the Bible says that
they should not kill a boll weevil un
der penalty of fire and brimstone.
I ....The creek banks and hedge rows
j look like the wilderness of the Sinai;
| and all of their truck is so small it
gives an army worm the back-ache
to bend over and bite it. If several
of the tenants will pitch their crops
j j! together, they might make 1 bale of
cotton weighing 375 pounds if they
don't have any frost or cold weather
|i till the full moon aftefr Christmas. <
I ..The politicians have Infested my
I tenants for the past few weeks; that
j hurt their chances to make a crop
| to some extent, but since most of j
them were recently defeated at the
polls, they are no longer on speaking
j terms with anybody who works for
a living, t can say one thing for
j! these fellows,, nowever: their fishing
tackle, rabbit dogs? and late turnip
! patches are as fine as pie.
! ..I'm not worrying about <poor crop
prospects and low income.. I've owned
these farms and 2 Ingrowing toej
nails for 20 years, and have managed, j
fo far, to keep the taxes paid and the
j nails trimmed, and I can't believe that I
i conditions are going to be any Wbrse j
than, they have been, and if Roose-j
- velt is elected, he'll keep on feeding (
; J my tenants (and me) so'a we can go
j along and remain good democrats.
NOBODY'S BUSINESS
j ..When a man gets old enough to
bo willing to call himself "att; old
man," he notices things that he never
was concerned about a few years
hack. He observes more closely the
I age of the persons referred to In each
j and every obituary that comes his
I way; and, he likewise sadly reads
that nearly all of the demised perI
sons seem to be exactly his age.
The difference between my wife
I and me, in respect to time and eterni*
I ty, i8 that: I seem to gio* older
| every year; she's been the same age
I for about 7 years and 16 months. She
actually looks it, too.' My hair is get*
I ting very scarce on top of my pone,

I ?f late, but I feature no other lntlj
matlons of passing out that I know of.

I ?f medicine for that particular cass.

bought a well-known remedy for liver

THE HARD LUCK OF THE YOUNG
ALABATRO88
To most of us home-dwelling landsmen
the albatross is the bird which
Coleridge's Ancient Mariner shot with
his crossbow bolt and most bitterly
prped the deed, a spectral and toyater
ious wanderer of a wide and distant
sea^a sea of utter loneliness, of phanton*shlps
and bitter, ghostly punishmente
for strange misdeeds, llobert
Cushman Murphy writes of this wan
derlng albatross and all .other birds
of these distant southern* seas in Ms
excellent and most readable two vol
umes on "The Oceanic Birds of South
Amercia" recently publlshpd by the
American Museum of Natural History
' _ ____
Strange indeed is the Ancient Mariner's
story of the albatross, hut
hardly stranger than the facts <n the
life-history of these unbelievable
birds.
"When the chicks of the wandering
albatross (Dlomedea e. exulans) a^o
some four months old," quotes a reviewer
in Bird-Banding, "something
happens which is so extraordlnai y and
spectacular that the early accounts
of it found little credence, although
we now know that it 1? parelleled in
greater or less degrees among all Pr<^
cellariiform birds. With the setting-in
of the Antarctic autumn, the adult
albatrosses completely abandon their
nestling offspring, not for a matter
of days or weeks, but forever. Off on
their Odyssean wanderings go the
old birds, leaving the obese, wellmufTed
youngsters sitting on the
trampled tops of their nests, where
they remain quietly no matter how
the wfnd howls or the snow beat 3
upon them . . . For three months or
longer the young albatrosses receive
no visits from the adults and subsist
entirely without food. Toward the end
of this time, they begin at last to amble
down off their nests and to try
their legs and afterwards their wings."

. .1 can imagine that I have more
aliments than anybody I ever heard
of up to this writing. Not long ago
I discovered that my heart was skipping.
It, seemed that while taking
my pulse, I caught a small bug under
my finger that I thought rested on
my wrist atery, and I almost knew
that I would- fall dead- before night
came on, but shortly thereafter, the
bug got loose and crawled away. I
got OK immediately.
.. I have had to quit reading patent
medicine ads. I see blac^c Specks before
my eyes; I havd dizzy spells after
eating; my digestion is always
bad; my ears roar, and many other
things creep on me after I have waded
thru the. virtues of some of our
modern conoocttons, I got along fairly
well during the time I am very
busy, but when I slow up long enough
to think, something gets Wrdng at
some vital point In my anatomy.
..I don't smoke, chew, drink, or 6tay
up late at night I really ought to
be well and happy all of the time,

Japs Have Strongest
Submarine Force
Washington, Sept. 3.?Naval officers
said today there was a possibility
both the United States and
Oreat Britain would follow the lead
of Japan In retaining excess subina-!
rine tonnage scheduled to be scrapped
next January under the expiring
London naval treaty. k
* This government has not been notified
of the Japan action. Generally
It was interpreted here, however, as
a formal Invocation of the treaty's
"escalator clause" under which a signatory
Is entitled to disregard Its Beet
imitation provisions If It believes its
natloual security threatened.
Such action automatically entitles
other treaty powers to do likewise.
Even If the United States and Great
Brltaiu take advantage of this situation,
however, statistics show Japan
will continue to be superior In actual
under-age submarine tonnage.
Numerically, the United States has
more undersea boats than other powers
at present but a large proportion
of these are over-age and Incapable
of competing with modern craft.
As of July 1, the full submarine
strength of the three nations,'Including
both overage and underage craft,
was: United States, 75,000 tonsj; Japan
73,000 tons, and tireat Britain,
55,000 tons.
Funeral services for the late Secretary
of War George H. Dern, were
held Tuesday pfternoon in the great
Mormon tabernacle at Salt Lake City,
the service being attended by President
Roosevelt and a distinguished lot
of officials.
Characterizing Ita verdict as a gross
miscarriage of justice, Judge Parker
at Fayettevllle, N. C., peremptorily
discharged a jury in superior court,
after It had acquitted a defendant on
a Charge of drunk driving.
Denies Marshal Ney
Buried In America
Danville, Va., Sept. 1.?The Evening
Bee eald yesterday that I)r. Andre
Jager-Hchmidt, of Paris, research
historian,' has offered a refutation to
the legend long prevalent lu North
Carolina that Marshal Michel Ney,
Napoleonto general, died there in
1846 under the name of Peter Stuart
Ney.
Dr. Jager-Schmldt, the paper said,
has made examination of the French
archives Since It was learned th%t
an exhumation of the body of Peter
Ney was planned, and has said he
found that all contemporary writers
agree that the general was shot as
a traitor and that in France there has
never been any question of it.
Dr. Jager-Schmidt believes, said the
paper, that Peter Stuart Ney must
have Buffered from hallucinations,
even though the school-master proclaimed
with his dying breath that
he was the French general.
Recently the handwriting of General
Ney and that of Peter Ney was
said by handwriting experts to be
the same.
Three brothers lost their life In a
coal mine near Fulton, Mo., Monday
night as each In turn made an effort
To rescue a fourth -brother, who had
enterod the mine first with his fatherin-law,
in order to pump water out of
the shaft. The father-in-law was rescued
only after he was nearly dead
from Inhaling monoxide-gas fumes
from a gasoline engine used to run
the mine pump.
Three persons were killed and six
injured when a highway bridge on
route No. 10 near Chesterfield court
house In Virginia, collapsed. The men
were riding toward Richmond when a
spanicff . an Iron and wooden bridge
collapgfed and two trucks fell Into the

How To Save The
Euonymus Shrub
The following receipt from the New*
berry Observer in Riven for combatting
white scale on euonymus shrubs:
At this time of year, the Euouymus
Is attacked by a mealy bug, or white
scale. Unless something is doue to
eradicate sthls scale, the shrub will
die. Tho following recipe is most effective:
Take one large bar of Odtagou
B0AI). Chip finely Into quart of
boiling water. Stir till it dissolves
into a paste. Remove from the stove
and stir into this paste one quart of
kerosene. When this is thoroughly
mixed with soap, add four quarts of
lukewarm water. Use this solution
as a spray or wash for the shrub. If
the stem of the shrub is caked with
scale, use a coarse wash cloth and
rub tho scale from all the stems with
this solution as a wash. Also slap
the solution on the under side of the
leaves with wash cloth. 4bJext morn
ing shoot strong spray of water on
bush with the hose. Do not allow
any of^tho- kerosene sap solution to
get to the root of your plant.
- Repqht this treatment every ten
days for thirty days.

Governor Dewey of Ohio, has refused
to honor a requisition by Oklahoma
for Carlton B. Chilton, who escaped
from an Oklahoma reformatory 23
years ago to become a respected olticen
of Cleveland, Ohio. "I can see no
possible good to society to send this
man back," commented Gov. Martin
L. Davey as he denied the request of
Oklahoma for Chilton's extradition to
complete a two-year sentence for
bank burglary. Chilton, seated directly
before the chief executive's massive
desk, listened Intently as Governor
Davey deliberately dictated his
decision to a secretary. It followed

"The Universal Car"
ONE NAME comes quickly to mind
when you think of "The Universal
Gar." The description is distinctively
Ford. No other car is used by so
many millions of men and women in
every part of the world. Everywhere
! it is the symbol of faithful service.
That has always been a Ford fundamental.
Something new is constantly
being added in the way of extra value.
Each year the Ford has widened its
appeal by increasing its usefulness
to motorists.
Today's Ford V-8 2s more than ever
"The Universal Gar" because it encircles
the needs of more people than
any other Ford ever built. It reaches
out and up into new fields because it
has everything you need in a modern
automobile.
The Ford V-8 combines fine-car
performance, comfort, safety and
beauty with, low first cost and low cost
of operation and tip-keep. It depreciates
slowly because If is
There is no other ear like it. *
