DeKALB PHARMACY The Rexall Store See Doom of Airship! In Naval Circles Washington, May 7.?leaders concerned with military policy in congress expressed almost united belief today that the Hindenburg dlsabter would crystalize sentiment against building more government dirigibles.

Coon, genial Janitor of Davis college at" the I'nlversity of South Carolina, Books, watches, fountain pens, pocket books, raincoats, top coats, glasses, umbrellas, pipes and notebooks are among the three or four hundred articles left in class rooms during the year bv students They are retrieved by Mr. Coon on his rounds after hours and set aside until called for and claimed by the owners. "I've recovered one girl's pocketbook so often that is has become routine. Anytime the purse is missing she comes right in and asks for it," I says the collecting janitor. Best find of the year so far has. been a pair of ladies' oxf6rds left sit-1 ting bv her desk.

Because of long continued rains farmers of the mid-west corn belt are far behind in the planting of their ! crops 14i?t year at this time the young corn was being blistered and burned by a long drouth. Another Old Plantation Tale (By Coble Funderburk in Monroe Enquirer) We wrote a piece in a recent issue of the paper in regards to the ability of the dumb animal to think, but I hu w something in the woods once ubout dogs that I have never been able to understand or explain. Brother and 1 bought two puppies once; they were a cross between a shepherd and a hound. One of them had long hair like a shepherd but had a nose like a hound and that one we named Hanger, the other had short hair like a hound and that one we named Prince. When these dogs were small puppies we trained them to run rabbits and one of the first things that we trained them to do was to come when we called thetn. They could both be on a hot trail of a rabbit and we could call either Ranger or Prince off uiyl the other would run the trail on the same as if they were both together. When they were still young we would get them to tt ailing a rabbit in the briar patch then call one of them out while the 6ther trailed on. The one we had called out we would take around in front of the trailing dog and hold him near the edge of the briar patch until the rabbit came out, then of course we would turn him aloose. It was not long hefore the dogs learned the trick and they were always cutting corners and one of thetn would be scouting the edge of a brier patch while the other trailed in it that was why the> seldom ever jumped a rabbit that they didn't catch or tree one, I have just told that because it might help explain the tale that I am going to tell now. After the dogs had gotten to be about five years old we took those two dogs together with another dog that he. had at the house and two of the neighbors' dogs and went hunting one Thanksgiving day. If I remember correctly there were eight boys along that day and five dogs. We hunted up until about 10 o clock thnt morning and had had very little luck, I think probably we had killed about three rabbits up to that time. About 10 we were going up a branch of which banks were covered with briers and cane-brakes, when one of the hoys suggested that we try out a broomsedge field about one-fourth mile away and on the other side of a hill. We left the branch and started for the broom-sedge field without calling the dogs for we knew that they would jsoon follow us. Between the branch | that we were on and the broom-sedge I held that we were going into was a fairly open hill side covered with tall pines and oaks and a few hickories scattered through We started through this open woods when for some reason 1 dropped behind the crowd and began to kick around every tree and ! in every pile of rubbish to try to roust ; a rabbit, and finally I saw a brush heap not very far away and I went I over and shook that with my feet but ! nothing came out and I started on. ! The brush heap had been made from the limbs of a tree someone had (cut down for an oppossum, and the , owner of the land did not want to ve?> the wood go to waste so he worked up the tree into fire wood and piled ' the brush and that was the brush heap that 1 shook anHsnothing came out. By that time the other seven boys had disappeared over the top of the hill and I started trudging on after then but I had only gone about yards when 1 saw old Ranger come up from toward the creek on our trail. 1 don't know why 1 did it but I Just seemed to feel that something un usual going to happen and?I stepped behind the tree so the dog could not see me. When the old dog came by the brushheap he stooped and stuck his head up in it and smelled around a little and then he turned and trotted off about .">0 yards. When he had gotten about 50 yards from the brushheap he sat down on his haunches, pointed his nose to the sky and howled one long mournful howl. In answer to his howl the other four dogs came out of the canebrake and the briar patch on the creek bank as hard as they could run. They ran straight to where old lianger was sitting and gathered around him. He got up and growled once and trotted back to the brushheap, with all four of the other dogs trotting behind him, sheep fashion. When he got to the edge of the brushheap he stopped and growled again, and the four other dogs then placed themselves in as perfect a square around that brushheap as a human being could have placed them. After they had gotten their position, old Hanger trotted around the brushheap and the other dogs as if he were inspecting them and then he came back to where he had first stopj ped crawled into the brushheap himself. He had not much more than 1 , disappeared into the brushheap before I a rabbit darted out and one of the dogs on the side caught him before he hardly got out of the brushheap I I went down to whore the dogs were land took the rabbit away from them [and went on across tho hill after the other boys. When 1 told them this tale they hardly believed it, but there i the rabbit was, they had heard the old dog howl, they had not heard the dogs barking on the trail of a rabbit, no gun had been flred, yet I produced the rabbit so they said they guessed Says Guard Against ! Chick Coccidiosis Clemsou, May 8.?With the arrival of warm weather and rainy days lineally cornea coccidiosis, especially if he chickens are brooded on ground that wan used for brooding laHt year, suys P. H. Gooding, extension poultryman, suggesting that the least indication of the presence of this disease calls for a thorough cleaning of the house and strict sanitation, i This disease is caused by tiny parasites that cannot be seen by the naked eye, Mr. Gooding explains. These parasites, or coccidia, may live in the ground from season to season and chicks should not be allowed to range on the same ground two years in succession, nor allowed to range with tho laying flock as most hens are carriers of coccidia. ' The symptoms of coccidiosis are usually drooping wings, sleepy appearance, and a pale and anaemic look. Bloody droppings frequently occur and the chicks rapidly lose weight. All the dirt and refuse should be removed; the floors and walls should be thoroughly disinfected with lye or other good disinfectant; and after the house is dry, clean litter should be supplied and the hoppers and fountains cleaned and disinfected before the chicks are returned to the house. The litter should be removed every other day for at least two weeks. It was thought for a long time that feeding a large quantity of milk would aid in checking coccidiosis. Some investigators are now advising not to feed milk in large quantities because their experiments have shown that milk has little or no value in checking the disease, and a high milk ration will cause a watery diarrhea which creates an ideal condition for coccidia to develop. e /(Fourth Llghter-Than-Air Disaster In United States Lakehurst, N. J., May 6.?The dlsaater which overtook the German dirigible Hindenburg tonight on her maiden voyage of the 1937 season was the fourth major lighter-than-aircraft disaster in America. On September 2, 1925, the Navy dirigible Shenandoah was caught in a line storm over Ohio and broke in half. Fourteen of her crew of 43 were killed. Lt.-Comdr. Charles E. Hosendahi, the present commandant at the JUakehurst naval air station was aboard and free ballooned the forward section of the broken ship to the ground. On April 4, 1933 the Akron, then the largest sky cruiser in existence, was destroyed at sea in a thunder storm off Barnegat Inlet. All but three of her crew of 76 perished. Early in 1935 the sister ship of the Akron, the Macon, was wrecked at sea off California while participating in naval njaneuvers. Most of her crew were saved.
