Tfeet of Motherhood is one of

If you only certain parts of

Some people mean well, but
never do well.
They are always intending to do
something that never gets done.
Instead of taking a just pride in
accomplishment, they are continu
ally humiliated by the inadequacy
of their excuses.
They do not even drift with the
tide of humanity, but are simply
switched into the eddies of life.
^For them there is a beginning,
and an end, but nothing in be
tween.
They have neither true .friends
nor bitter enemies, because they do
nothing to inspire either friend
ship or enmity.
They are nameless, because no
one is sufficiently interested to
name them.

The cheapest form of “rat insur
ance” is rat-proof buildings, says
the Biological Survey of the U. S.
Department of Agriculture. Most
buildings that are not already rat-
proof can be made so at small cost.
The first step in rat-proofing a
building with brick, stone, or con
crete foundation is to search thor
oughly for all places where rats
might enter, especially small open
ings around pipes and small cracks.
Such openings should be closed
with metal sheeting or with con
crete. Basement windows and oth
er large openings may be coverod
with strong, durable screening,
such as standard 8-mesh galvan
ized hardware cloth. Ventilators
and sewer openings should be cov
ered with gratings. Doors likely
to be left open at night should be
equipped with self-closing devices.
Farm buildings without rat-proof
foundation walls may be raised 18
inches or more from the ground
and kept open on all sides. Clear
trash from underneath. Corncribs,
granaries, and other storage places
for food may be equipped with
metal rat guards at the tops of the
supporting posts, or may be en
tirely inclosed with wire mesh.

Mrs. W. A. Cox, a

of Burnside, Ky„
writes:
"I was in very bad health,
and only weighed 110 pounds.
I read in the papers about
Cardui, and thought I would
give it a try-out. After I had
taken one bottle, I could see
that I was improving. After
I had taken it a month or
two, I began to gain, and I
weigh at present 168, and
Have weighed that for some
time. I am now 55 years old,
and can do as much work
as the average middle-aged
woman can.
"I would advise any woman,
who is weakly and in a run
down condition, to try Car
dui, but not to expect one
bottle to make her well. I
take two or three bottles a
year, now, and I feel fine.”

A
Little Talk On Thrift
THRIFTY MAN ABLE TO FORCE
FAVORABLE OPPORTUNITIES
(By S. W. Straus, President Ameri

NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLE
MENT AND DISCHARGE
Hog feeders will get better gains
from feeding barrows than from
feeding sows says the U. S. De
partment of Agriculture in an
nouncing conclusions from a study
of the influence of sex of swine on
feed-lot returns. . Over a period of
8 years the Bureau of Animal In
dustry analyzed the feed-lot rec
ords of 5,653 hogs (3,018 barrows
and 2,635 sows). The barrows out-
gained the sows by 5.43 per cent.
The tests included hogs fed in
practically all parts of the coun
try, under various climatic condit
ions and during nearly every
month of the year, specialists
studied most systems of manage
ment, including dry-lot feeding,
and pasture supplemented by lim
ited rations. In some of the tests
a limited ration of barley was fed
followed by a full feeding of com;
in others this ration was reversed.
Alfalfa, mixed clovers, and tempor
ary pastures such as rye, oats,
wheat, cowpeas, and soybeans,
were used to carry the hogs. Some
of the hogs wer; full fed from
weaning to a weight of about 200
pounds; others were started on full
feed at weights as high as 150
pounds, and carried along to 500
pounds or more. Practically all
known hog feeds, including pea
nuts and soybeans, were fed. The
resulting carcasses graded in firm
On the 19th day of May, 1930, at
10:00 o’clock a. m., I will make a
final settlement in the Judge of
Probate’s office in McCormick and
ask for a discharge as executor of
the estate of J. F. Singleton, de
ceased. All persons holding claims
against the estate should present
them properly attested before that
date, or be forever debarred. All
persons indebted to said _ estate
should settle with the undersigned.

“You can do more than strike
while the iron is hot; you can
make the iron hot by striking.”
Thus the philosopher, Colton, ep
itomized a great lesson in personal
progress. It was in much the same
spirit that Napoleon is said to have
exclaimed upon an occasion to one
of his generals, “Circumstances? I
make circumstances!”
One of the great values of thrift
is that it enables us to take ad
vantage of opportunities for self
advancement when they are avail
able. But a still deeper value
comes through the creation of op
portunity. Fortified by thrift one
often may force the issue with fate
rather than wait patiently for op
portunity to come knocking at the
door.
The great difference between the
thrifty and the thriftless man is
that the former is always sure of
his destiny—his star is continually
in the ascendency while the other
irrevocably is marked for failure.
Lafontaine’s great fable of the
grasshopper and the an^ contains
a depth of meanhijr for all of us.
When skies are clear and the sun
is shinning we may get along very
well without provision for the fu
ture but when adversity and hard
times come, the foresight and
providence of the ant prove their
worth.
Thrift is essential to progress
whether our pathway leads to ad
versity or opportunity. If disaster
awaits us we shall need the ma
terial resources and the strength
of character which are ours
through thrift. If we are more
fortunate we shall be able to take
advantage of favorable opportuni
ties when they come or create them
for our own uses. I
Through thrift we overcome ad
versity, create opportunuity, con
quer destiny.

“A significant fact,” says the
county agent of a down-state
county, who has shipped some ten
cars of hogs to northern markets
this spring, “is that not a single
farmer who has shipped hogs has
applied for a government loan to
buy fertilizer for this year’s crop.”
McCormick county farmers could
feed out enough hogs every year
to pay cash for their fertilizer.

Unintentional Suicide
Manv people are slowly poisoning
themselves just as surely as if they
