Los Angeles, Nov. 12.?In an at tempted flight today from Pasadena to Long Beach, officially to end his At lantic-Pacific journey, C. P. Hodgers met with the worst mishap of his ca reer, falling witli his machine 125 feet Into a ploughed Held half-way be tween the two cities and within sight of his destination. Although no bones wore broken, llodgers was rendered - unconscious. He was shaken badly, bis face sera, 'bed and torn, bis hands were burned by '..'. ..: . rid he complains of a severe pain in his side. Hih ma chine was Completely wrecked. Rodgers left Tournament park at Pasadena at 3:34, expecting to fly the miles to the beach in as many minutes. He became confused after taking the air and after circling nim l< ssly for half an hour, came down at Covlna junction, a mile further from Long lleach than the point from which he started. He took the air again af ter getting his hearing and was follow ing tic tracks of the Pacific ISlectric mil way when the accident occurred. This was in an isolated district and the first learned of the accident by those interested was from au automo bil ist vvl 0 had seen Rodgers fall and had drugged him out from under the wings of his biplane anil carried him into the office of a physician at Comp ton, two miles away. llodgers was still unconscious when ' Mrs. llodgers and her mother, Mrs. 11. S. Sweitzer, Who had been waiting his ' arrival at Long Peach, reached Comp ' ton. Later he partly regained his : senses, hut was still too dazed to talk Of the r.CCldent. He was put aboard the special train which his wife and '? mother had chartered for the run up : from Long Peach and taken to bis I hotel at Pasadena.

Rodgers complained of engine trouble when he alighted at Covlna junction, but according to the nutomohilists who saw him fall was flying smoothly at the time of the ac cident. "Once, by the edge of a pleasant pool. Under the bank, where 'twas dark and cool. Where bushes over the water hung, And grasses nodded and rushes swung Just where the brook flowed out of the bog There lived a gouty and mean old Frog Who'd sit all day in the mud and croak, 'Till a blackbird whistled: "I say, you know. What IS the trouble down there below? Are you in sorrow or pain, or what?' The Frog said: 'Mine is a gruesome lot! Nothing hut mud, and dirt and slime, For me to look at the llyelong time, Tis a dismal world!' so he sadly spoke, And voiced bis woes in a mournful croak. "'But you're looking DOWN!' the Blackbird said, 'Look at the blossoms overhead; Look at the lovely summer skies; Look at the bees and butterflies, Look UP old fellow, Why, bless your sOlll, You're looking down in a muskrat's hole!' Put still witli his gurgling sob ami choke, The Frog continued to croak and croak. "And a wise old Turlle, who hoarded neu r Said to the Blackbird: "Friend, see here Oon'l shed your tears over him, for he Is wretched just 'cause he likes to he! II -V one of tlie kind who WON'T lie glad: It makes him nappy to think he's sad. til loll you something-?and it's no joke? Don't waste your pity on those who croak.'" ?Exchange. TIME TO KNOW THIS.

THE PINE BARK BEETLE HOW TO DESTROY HIM Question to be Answered and Sent to the Field Insect Station at Spartan barg? In the fall of 1910 and winter of mil there were numerous requests from correspondents for information and assistance relating to the dying of pine in various sections of the south ern states. In compliance with these requests the U. S. Department of Ag riculture, through its experts ami agents in the Bureau of Fntomology, has given special attention to the sub ject A thorough study has been made of the character and extent of the trou ble in the South Atlantic and Gulf Stales during the past six months. Forest Insect Field Station 7 was lo cated at Spartanburg. S. ('., early in July to serve as tin- headquarters of representatives of t?ie Bureau of En tomology, who, from this central point, have been very active in giving practical Instructions and demonstra tions on the cause of the dying pine and the remedy. Many thousands of circulars and letters of Information | have been sent direct to owners of j pine in all of the South Atlantic and Qulf States, Addresses have been deliv ered at community, county state, and Inter-StfttC meetings of owners of pine 1 ami others interested in the protection , of the forest resources of the South, and the press has given wide publicity to the movement. There is now evi dence of widespread Interest in this subject and we are confident that if the information already given to the people is properly utilized in a con certed effort by the majority of the owners in the affected areas, the pine will stop dying. With a view of securing direct in formation as to the Interest manifest ed by owners of pine in each com munity where trees are dying, return postal cards are being sent to the owners with questions as follows. The replies to these questions will indi cate to what extent the Department has attained Its object of rendering a service to the people and whether or not further assistance is required. Question to he Answered "Yes" or "No" 1. Are there patches of (lying and dead pine in your community? 2. If there are patches of dying timber hive you had information on the cause and remedy? ?-By letter? -p? Circular?-Pub lic address?- Newspaper? 3. In your opinion is there suflieient Interest in saving the pine in your community so that a majority of own ers will take the required action this fall and winter to prevent further losses? - . 4. Do you or your neighbors desire any further Information . :.;struction that will enable you to get the best results at the least expense? 5. fiive the name and address of some owner in your community or county who is taking an active inter est in the subject. If owners of pine will answer the above questions by number and mall them to Foiest Insect Field Station 7, Spartnnburg, S. C. it will promote this movement for the protection of their ! timber. CAUSE FOB ALARM. Loss of Appetite or Distress After Fating a Symptom That Should not he Disregarded. Appetite is just a natural desire for food. Loss of appetite or stomach distress after eating indicate indi gestion or dyspepsia. Over-eating Is a habit very dangerous to a person s good general health. It is not what you eat but what you digest and assimilate that does you good. Some of the strongest, heaviest, and healthiest persons are moderate eaters. There is nothing that will cause more trouble than a disordered stom ache. and many people daily contract serious maladies simply through dis regard or abuse of (lie stomach. We urge all in Laurens who suffer from any stomach derangement, indi gestion, or dyspepsia, whether acute or chronic, to try Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets, with the distinct understand ing that v.c will refund their money without question or formality, if af ter reasonable use of this medicine, they are not perfectly satisfied wi'h the results, We recommend them to our customers every day and have yet to hear of any one who has not been bonofltted by them.
