Among fanflers’ wives until recently
the percentage of insanity was very
high. Living, isolated lives, working
hard from craivn until long after dark,

Then came rural free delivery, bring

the radio. Farmers’ wives tune in, and
retain their sanity.
To the exceptional woman, rich, able
to do what she pleases, but hitherto
finding little amusing excitement aft

Entering Contest
Fifteen McCormick county far

1930, according to an announce
ment, by Thos. W. Morgan, county
agent, and many more applica
tions are expected to be received
within the next two weeks as a re
sult of the campaign to be put on
in the interest of the contest.
According to Mr.^ Morgan, the
cotton contest has Had a great in
fluence on the improvement of
methods of cotton production in
McCormick county during the past
three years. Farmers have learn
ed that cotton can be produced at
a profit under boll weevil condit
ions if the right methods of spac
ing and fertilization are used in
connection with a standard variety

The sun’s radiation, heat and pow
er are supposed to come from the
“stripping of atoms.” The elections,
revolving around the nuclei, are
stripped off and shot into space. The
nuclei, left alone, are packed one
against another, with no space sep
arating them from their electrons and
from each other. It is as though you
stripped away the planets from suns
in space and packed the suns solidly
together in a lump. That would be
heavy.
An electron, in proportion to its
size, is as far from Its central nucleus
as the sun is from the earth.
Each atom is a little solar system,
so small you do not ndtice a million
of those systems in the corner
your eye. Our universe is really too
complicated, at least for our feeble
minds.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa., April 14.—
Judge Thompson, presiding in
United State District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania,
has just handed down a decision in
favor of Vick Chemical Co., in its
case against Frederick E. Stro-
hmeier, in which emphasis is plac
ed by the court upon protection of
the buying public against fradul-
ent use of a trade name, Vicks
VapoRub.
“The defendant will be enjoin
ed,” Judge Thompson’s decision
reads, “against use of the plain
tiff’s trade name, as hq has been
using it, to deceive and perpetrate
a fraud upon the public and, by
pirating its trade mark, to injure
aQd damage the reputation the
plaintiff has built up.
“A decree may be entered for an
injunction accordingly and for
damages sustained by the plain
tiff and profits derived by the de
fendant from his acts of infringe
ment and unfair competition.”
This case grew out of the action
of Strohmeier in the marketing of
a cough drop which he claimed, on
the package, was "“Medicated with
Vicks VapoRub.” As to this alleged
medication, Judge Thompson says
in his decision:
“I find from the medical testi
mony that, as manufactured, there
is no real medication by means of
Vicks VapoRub in the defendant’s
product. That being the case, that
statement of medication is false
and untrue. ... I am not satis
fied ... that the defendant has in
troduced any testimony sufficient
to sustain his claim that Vicks
VapoRub is used at all in his cough
drops.”
Vicks VapoRub is the sole pro
duct of Vick Chemical Co., and has
been marketed for a number of
years. It was introduced in evid
ence that over $7,000,000 has been
spent in advertising to establish
this product in the confidence of
the public, and the extent of such
confidence was disclosed in the ev
idence that over 260,000,000 jars
have been sold since 1910, through
out the United States and in over
60 countries abroad. It was charg- j
ed that the defendant, Strohmeier,
by pirating the Vick trade name,
was trying to establish his un
known product by associating it in
the public mind with Vicks Vapo
Rub, thus not only accomplishing
infringement but perpetrating a ;
fiaud u'pen the public. The decis
ion Of !

quoted at $36.00 a ton delivered.
This analysis is being mixed by the

passed at the recent session of the fertilizer is being mixed for a sav-
General Assembly requiring that j ing of nine dollars per ton which
when a deed is filed in his office ! is an average of ten dollars a ton
for the sale or transfer of property
the full amount of the value of the
property must be stated. In the
past “$10 and other considera
tions” has been all that was nec-
sssary, but now the complete con
sideration must be stated in order
that the proper number of stamps
may be attached.
The law provides that any clerk
of court who shall record any deed
or other taxable instrument either
without the proper revenue stamps
or without a statement showing
the true, full and complete con
sideration shall be deemed guilty
of a misdemeanor and shall 'be
subject to a fine of not le§£ than
$10 nor more than $100.
It is also provided that any per
son, firm or corporation subject to
the tax engaging in any practice
making it difficult to enforce the
provisions of the act or refuse to
allpw inspection of the premises
shall be deemed guilty of a mis-
demeanbr and subject to a fine of
riot more than $200 for each of
fense or imprisonment of not more
saved.
There are a few disadvantages to
home--mixing but they are more
than offset by the money saved. If
it is too inconvenient to mix .as
needed, it can be mixed on a rainy
day provided it is not sacked U{>
but left in a pile and re-stirred
when a crust tends to form over
the surface. It is a good practice
where possible to mix in the field
in a wagon body as needed. It is
also advisable, as with any other
fertilizer, to apply fertilizer and
cotton seed separately since fer
tilizers may cause the seed to rot
before they germinate. A quarter
to a half inch of soil between seed
and fertilizer will insure good
germination however.
