SUITS AND DRESSES DRY CLEANED HATS CLEANED AND RE-BLOCKED For Only A total of 71 dogs were vaccin ated for rabies for 41 people of the county by Dr. F. K. Peterson, As sistant State Veterinarian, at the county agent’s office on last Mon day. These dogs came from prac tically every part of the county, and included every variety and species from Poodles on up through Rat and Fox Terriers, Es kimo §pitz, Setters, Pointers, Coll- ies^Shepherd dogs, German Police, Hpnnd Dogs, Jus\ Dogs and finally ^several sure enough Bull dogs. Amid much yelping, howling, bark ing and growling each dog receiv ed his shot, which will protect him from rabies for one year. This work should be more gen erally done in McCormick county, according to Mr. Morgan, county agent, who states that the cost and trouble of having dogs treated is very small as compared to the danger of rabies, especially where dogs play with children. txi Mr. J. W. Britt Kills Many Crows McCormick county farmers who are being pestered by crows dam aging their crops will be interested in the recent crow-killing job done by Mr. J. W. Britt, of McCormick. Mr. Britt has a fine five-acre field of oats which were being pulled up by these bandits, and thinking more of his oats than he did of the welfare of the crows, he soak ed some com in strychnnine and scattered it around the place of their devilment late one afternoon. TJoing back the next morning, he found that several of his tenants. In their curiosity to find how many crows he had killed had visited the field early the next morning and scared many of the crows away, but not until some fifteen had partaken of the com and lay dead and dying in the field. Ac cording to Mr. Britt, he killed a full armload of the birds, and heard many more in the woods cawing like they were mighty sick. Crows do untold damage to crops in McCormick county every year, and more farmers should follow Mr. Britt’s method of ridding themselves of these blafck robbers.

C. | X V v Final responsibility for making the Federal Food and Drugs Act effective in all its provisions rests upon the consuming public, W. R. M. Wharton of the U. S. Depart ment of Agriculture told the radio audience of a network of 13 sta tions associated with the National Broadcasting Company in his weekly talk on “Safe-Guarding Your Food and Drug Supplies” this i (Tuesday) morning (March 11.) Mr. Wharton, who is Chief of the Eastern District, Food, Drug and Insecticide Administration, suggested that the housewives of ■ the Nation form “read-the-labels” 1 committees in their community I clubs, to the end that they as con-, sumers may enjoy the full protec tion of the governmental effort to insure purity and honesty of label ing in food and drug products. “Pledge the members of your clubs,” he urged, “to read labels and to apply the principles of economics to the information ob tained by label reading. If we could develop a wide-spread move ment for intelligent label reading in this country ,and for the intel ligent application of the informa tion obtained by label reading, the consumers of the Nation would save millions of dollars a year, and the caqse of truthful labeling of foods would be promoted more ef fectively than in any other way. “The Federal Food and Drugs Act operates in your interest, Mr. and Mrs. Consumer, to protect your food supply, to prevent the sale to 3 r ou of poisonous or delet erious, or adulterated or mis branded foods and drugs. The Fed eral Government has had the closest co-operation of city and State food and drug control de- nartments. It has had the whole hearted and effective co-operation of reputable manufacturers in the food and drugs trades, but it has not had comnlete co-operation of those most vitally interested—the consuming public. “The consuming public can co operate to insure honesty of label ing of foods and drugs by reading labels—by reading labels intelli gent! v and by insisting on being supplied with the exact commod ity desired.” Mr. Wharton’s talks, through the co-operation of the National Broadcasting Company and asso ciated radio stations, are trans mitted at 10:00 a. m..

It is on ly in communities that are known to raise cotton of good quality and in cmmercial quantities that high er prices are paid, says the U. S Department of Agriculture. The way to avoid mixing seed at the gins is to plant only one variety of cotton in each community, so that only one kind of cotton comes to the gin and only one kind of seed is planted. By the simple expedient of uniting on one var iety, farmers in a community can continuously produce cotton of higher and more uniform quality than each can alone. ■ X It is poor economy to have the dairy cow thin at calving time KNOXVILLE, Tenn., March 10.— Hundreds of friends of his early years today bowed their heads in sorrow as the train bearing the body of Justice Edward Terry San ford, of the United States supreme court, arrived here at 1:40 p. m. this afternoon.
