Aa English doctor declares that flies
will kill more Britons thi* summer and
fall than will the Germans. Naturally.
There are so few Britons in the field
for the Germans to kill.

The big things were not all done in
the big towns. The greatest poem in
the English language was written in a

isn’t much good unless it is pushed.

The Old Home Town.
. Do.you remember the lazy fellow
used to sit around the street corners
and in the barber shops in the old
home town and predict the failure of
every boy who tried to poke his nose
above the common herd? He never
got high above the herd himself and
perhaps for that reason he felt that he
was a competent judge of incompetency
when he saw it_
Up in the village of Salem they used
to crack lots of jokes at the expense of
a lank and ungainly young fellow who
clerked in the village grocery, poled
flat boats on the river and split rails for
a living. They called him Abe in those
days. He became president of the
United States.
They used to make fun of Bill Me-
Adoo back in the old home town. Of
course, you’ve heard of Bill. He dug a I
tunnel under the Hudson River and is
Secretary of the Treasury now. But
there are a lot of old tads back in the
old home town who sort of hope that
BUI will fall over something yet and
land in his old home town. It is the
old home town itself that is the joke—
sometimes.

In the closing hours of Congress tl e
Senate passed a rural credits bill carry
ing 910,000,000 to be lent to farmers in
sums ranging from' 9300 to 910,000.
The length of loans was fixed at ten
years and the interest rate at 5 percent.
House and Senate failed to agree, how^
eVer, and so the whole rural credits
issue goes over till next session. Far
mers must then begin fighting the
very day Congress meets and never let
up till it adjourns.—The Progressive
Farmer.
Are those oat fields going to be sown
to some other crop when the oats are
harvested or allowed to grow up to
weeds?. Yes, it will be hot weather,
the ground will soon get hard after the
oats are removed, and there will be
need for the teams in the cotton and
corn crops; but if the land is disked
well as soon as the oats are cut it will
not get too hard to plow, and some
time during the month after the osts
are cut the land can be sown to some
forage crop. There is no danger of
producing too much feed, but what a
surprise it would be to the feed mer
chants of the South if they had to buy
their feeds from Southern farmers in
stead of selling to them, or go out of
business!—The Progressive Farmer. *
It Can*.
The editor of an Illinois paper is a
public benefactor and when he dies the
people of his county ought to erect a
monument to the honor of his memory.
He has discovered a new way to get rid
of mosquitos. He tells you simply to
rub alum on your face and hands.
When the mosquito takes a bit, it puck
ers his bill se that it can’t sting. Then
it sits down in a damp place, tries to dig
the pucker loose, catches its death of
cold and dies of pneumonia.
What Do You Know?
Do you know that an editor or a re
porter for a newspoper can in his
rounds stop and ask a hundred persons
“what’s the news?” and ninety out of the
hundred will reply, ’‘Nothing special,”
and yet fifty out of that number know
something that, if not found in the next
paper, will astonish them greatly and
disappoint them more and perhaps
make them madder than hornets.
Don’t be afraid to tell the newspaper
man the news.
One-third of the fools in the United
States think they can beat a lawyer ex
pounding the laws. One-half think
they an beat the doctor in healing the
sick. Two-thirds of them think they
an put the minister in the hole ex
pounding the gospel, and all of them
think they an beat the editor running
attewspaper. _
And maybe they an.

WHEN CROWS MOBILIZE.
■ —
They Usually Mass Themaelvaa Per
Attack Upon an Enemy.
The crows arc masters of mobilisa
tion. Such mobilisations have fre
quently been Investigated. L'sunlly
they prove to be for the attack on so mo
enemy.
Thoreau apeak* of the crows "burst-
in< up above the woods where they
were perching like the black fragments
of a powder mill Just exploded.' When
they are gathered for war purposes
thelr cries will lead you to the spot
where they are Ugh ting, and these
tame bursts of black fragments above,
the trees, usually following an especial
uproar of cnwlng, will direct you to the
center of the battle.
Walter King Stone, the illustrator,
and Charles Livingston Bull have told
me of a mobilization they ouce wit
nessed. when the crows gathered for
hours and the two observers were alke
to penetrate the woods to the exact
spot beneath the feathered explosions.
There they found a great horned owl
flying low In the trees with a dead
crow in his talons. Whether this was
the original cause of the battle or
whether he had grubbed the crow In
one of the descents of the birds about
his head they, of course, could not say.
He was evidently struggling to find a
dead tree, where he could take refuge.
He was saved probably by the coming
of night ,
Crows have even been known to at
tack foxes, as Winslow Homer’s paint
ing is the most famous witness.
A farmer near my home who has
observed crows for many years and
has the reputation of knowing more
about them than any one else In the
neighborhood tells me that almost in
variably In hla experience the cause
of a large mobilization Is either a big
owl or a hawk. The little acreeclfbwls
are also attacked, but by lesser num
bers. He has also personally seen the
crows attack a fox while It was cross
ing an oi>en field, and once he watched
a flock of nearly 100 crows worrying
a Skye terrier dog. which was so thor
oughly frightened that it was running
In circles. 1 have seen crows attack
a cat also.'but the cat always Is wise
enough to make for cover. — Walter
Prichard Eaton in Harper’a Magazine.

Pleasant HIM. N. C.-“l suffered for
three summers,” writes Mrs. Walter
Vincent, of this town, “and the third and
last time, was my worst.
I had dreadful nervous headaches and
prostration, and was scarcely able to
walk about Could not do any of my
housework.
I also had dreadful pains in my back
and sides and when one of those weak,
sinking spells would come on me, I
would have to give up and lie down,
until it wore off. -
1 was certainly in a dreadful state of
health, when 1 finally decided to try
C*rduL the woman’s tonic, and I firmly
believe I would have died U.l hadn’t
takea it.
After I began taking Cardul, I was
greatly helped, and all three bottles re
lieved me entirely.
I fattened up, and grew so much
stronger in three months, I felt like an
other person altogether.**
Cardul la purely vegetable and gentle-
acting. Its ingredients-have a mild, ionic
effect, on the womanly const!tuti^a
Cardul makes for increased strength,
improves the appetite, tones up the ner
vous system, and helps to nuke pale,
sallow cheeks, fresh and rosy.
Cardui has helped more than a million
weak women, during the past 50 years.
It will surely do for you, what it has
done for them. Try Cardui today.
