(new deal): he is o. k .now, but grumhllug powerful. ntr square thinks a plank could be put Into the donkey's flatforiu that would encourage the republicans to quit fighting back. It would be offering all of the brainy boys a berth In the govermeat service, there are some rail smart men In the g o p. crowd that pres. rosey* veil has not hired. It would be well to put them Into service as soon us possible a large number of them would fit luto the furrln embassies u n so forth. mr. square writes a plain haud hisself and he would be glad to take down what the other feller's think and then re-rlto it for the dimmer* crats. he has drawod Just oddllugs and oddllngs of local, county atld state flatforins. and Is familiar with uearly- every kind of plank ever heard of that fits Into a political carcass, ho would have this country in mlud first, last and always. he would do away with about 600,000 gravy trains, and would be nice (and not bitter) towards the defeated republicans. they have a hart, too, you know. yofes t ru lie, mike lark, rfd. corry spondent.

YOUNG. JofIN ALPANG. Magistrate. My -,i -\p.res March 2, 1941, Young Giant Dies From Foot Infection Manistee, Mich,, July 15.?Robert | Wadlow, the 22-ye^r-old Alton, 111., "giant" who wan 8 feet 9 1-2 inches (all and believed the world'* tallest man. died here early today from complications following a foot iufoctlon. Wadlow, who wua making a professional appeal unco a* the "world's tulleiU man" at the national forest festival here, suffered uu infection lu his left ankle less than a. fortnight ago. i The youthful giant's condition grew steadily worse, and physicians gave him a blood transfusion yesterday and I performed a minor operation: on his I foot last iilght. His temperature all I of yesterday was reported as "never (lower thau 106". He died at ,1:40 a. m. (EST). I Under the management of his faI ther, Harold F. Wadlow, the young I man was sponsored on his appearI anco here by a shoe company. Wadlow weighed 491 pouuds while I making his last public appearance. I Medical men said his great- height I resulted from over-activity "of the I pituitary gland. i Wadlow suffered his injury July I 4. A brace worn ou Ills ankle chafed, and Infection set in. He was confinI ed In his hotel rather than a hospital. His condition had become "very grave" yesterday, and he was taking nourishment through a tube. I Father, mother, two sisters and two I brothers all were normal stature. I Robert weighed eight and a half I pounds at birth, Feb. 22, 1918. By I the time Robert reached young manI hood the elder Wadlow's shoulders I came only to his son's hips. I Scientists classified him as an I "acromegalic type," designating a person whose growth has been abnormal because of over-activity of | the pituitary, lying at the base of I the brain. Negro Woman Captured ' Mary Wright, Kershaw negress, I sought by Blshopvllle police for the I fatal Fourth of July stabbing of JohnInle Lee Trusedale, negro, also of KerI shaw, was apprehended the night following by State Highway Patrolman I Walter McTeer and John (TKelley of I lUshopville and Kershaw police off 1I cers. j She was arrested as she was being brought back to Kershaw In a car with other negroes. She was returned immediately to Blshopvllle and Is now In the county Jail awaiting trial. 1 According to her story she had been going with Truesdale for some time I but had separated from him some I time ago. It seems that Truesdale met up with her an hour previous to I the stabbing and knocked her d6wn. He met her again about an hour later at a negro store and after knocking her down, drew a knife and threw It as her. As she ran, she picked up the knife and stabbed him as he came on her again.?Lancaster News.

There's usually time for a good night's rest, with a gentle, thorough action next morning relieving constipation's headaches, biliousness, sour stomach, h^i breath. BLACK-DRAUGHT is a splendid combination of veget.iblo .ngredi| ents, chief of which i3 an "intestinal tonic-laxative" that helps im} part tohe to 1 a?y bowel muscles.
