Will Advertise Delinquent Tax
PAYERS.

G. E. Brooks, the efficient tax collect
or. says the taxes are coming in mighty
slow, and unless the tax payers come
forward promptly and settle, that he will
have to force collection. This, he says,
is not his wish, but it is the LA w. The
time has just about expired for pay
ment and the limit for advertising is
near at hand, and if the people allow
themselves to be advertised it is their
fault and not his. Mr.. Brooks has Civ
en- ample notice though the newspapers,
calling the attention of taxpayers to
the matter, and almost begs them to
settle, but so far they have not sought
to profit thereby. The county needs the
money to meet it's obligations, and it
must have it. Mr.. Brooks says he is no
respector of persons, when it comes to
collecting the couaty's money, every
one looks alike to him then, and that
he will certainly advertise and sell each
and everyone's property who have not
already obtained receipts.

Little AmhiCuous.

Very cOmmendable is the zeal dis
played in recent years in the effort to
put an end to the obnoxious habit of
eXpectorating in places frequented by
the public. Still, the offense would
probably be classed under the head of
"yeniaf'-and it might be well to adj
just the punishment to the crime.
After crossing on one Of the ferry
lines that convey passengers over the
North River to New Jersey points, and
carefully considering the possible logi-
cal connection between the two parts
of the "NOtice to Passengers hanging
in conspicuous place, one wonders if
perhaps the reforming zeal of the ferry
company may not have carried it too
far.

Interesting FreaES.

Lecturer Tin dime museum of the flu
ture)--Passing on to the next platform,
ladies and gentlemen, | have the pleasure
of exhibiting to you Prof. Lauderschlegel,
the greatest living curiosity in the known
world. For a period of sixty days Prof.
Lauderschlegel has lived exclusively on
fish, corned beef hash, tenderloin steak,
sausages, salads, vegetables, fruits, and
coffee, and has gained twenty-five pounds
in weight. His pulse, respiration and
temperature are normal, and he sleeps as
calmly and peacefully as an innocent
child, thus disprOving the prevailing
dogma that the only wholesome diet for
human beings is one particular and ex-
elusive article, such as peanuts, or eggs,
or breakfast food. The professor has
made this test purely in the interests of
science, and will answer any proper ques-
tions you may wish to ask him. We will
proceed now, ladies and gentlemen, to the
next platform, occupied by a conspicuous
triumph of the taxidermist's art, the
stuffed image of the largest gorilla ever
shot in central Africa.

s.Experientia Docet."

Just as a Kafir Is slow in locating
pain which is being experienced in his
own body, so is he slow in imagining
what others are suffering. A grown
up Kafit related, says Dudley Kidd, in
Savage Childhood" that when he was
a child his father threatened him with
a beating if he did something or other.
The child was puzzled as to what
sort of thing a beating might be, for
although he had often seen his bigger
brothers beaten, his Imagination was
unable to work on the sight and recon-
struct the experience of these others
into terms of his own senses.
When his father threatened him,
therefore, he simply laughed, for he
had not the remotest idea Of how a
beating really felt. 1t took a very
short time for the young gentleman to
extend the boundaries Of his knowl-
edge.
Swift retribution followed the I'M
pardonable sin of showing disrespect
to his father. AS the children go about
entirely bare, there was no delay for
preparation. The father took stick
and applied it vigorously, according
to directions" and with entire success.
"When the tears and smarting were
over" said the Kafr in his old age,
81 sat down and thought it over. Well
1 said to myself, now know what
father means by a beating. I don't
know what is the reason of it, but any
how I know what sort of thing
beating is I often laugh when 1 think
how stupid I was before that"

A Flemish gentleman conceived the
idea that he would only live a certain
time, SO he made a nice calculation of
his fortune, which he so apportioned
as to last just the same period as he
guessed his life would extend to.
Strangely enough, his calculations came
correct to the letter, for he died pune
tually at the time he had previously
reckoned. He had so far exhausted his
estate that after his debts had been dis
charged solitary pair Of slippers rep
resented the entire property he left
His relatives buried him, and a rep
resentation of the slippers was carved
on the tomb. To-day in a churchyard
at Amsterdam his grave may be seen,
the only inscription on the stone being
tive Flemish words, "Effen Nyt'' Il. e.,
"Exactly").

ST. George and the Dragon.

Other nations besides England have
fought under the banner of st. George
and other knightly orders as well as
that of the Garter have been instituted
in his honor. He was the guardian
saint of Sicily, AragOn, Valencia
Genoa, Malto and Barcelona; Vene
tian order Of st. George was created
in 1900, a Spanish in 1917, an Austrian
in 1870, a Genoese in 1872 and a Ro-
man in 1892. More modern orders
bearing his name are those Of Bavaria
(1729), Russia (1767) and Hanover
1880. The device of st. George STAY
ing the dragon forms part of the arms
of the car and appears on several
Russian coins. The conjecture that
this was owing to the presentation Of
the Garter by Elizabeth to Ivan Vassi-
lievitch has no foundation in fact, for
Chancellor, the first outspOken English
man to visit Russia, speaks Of q dis
patch sent in 1854 from Ivan Vassilie-
witch to Queen Mary, the seal Of which

A New ri ease.

Young Featherhead, soon after pur-
chasing his elegant new touring car,
was taken with a swelling on the back
OF his neck. He went and consulted his
physician about It.
Doctor" he said, "are there such
things as automobile diseases?"
cit is not unlikely" was the doctors
response. "At least automoblling may
develop tendencies to disease that lie
dormant under ordinary conditions"
'Well, 1 wish you would look at that
spot on the back of my neck and te'
me If the excessive use Of my motor
car has anything to do with It."
The doctor complied.
"H'm!" he said, gravely. ''That looks
as If It might be either car-buncle or
an automobile"

COHTAGIOH A QUESTION OF
PREVENTION.

Sinks, drains, eating and cooking
utensils, sick room linen and clothing
frequently carry the dreaded disease
germ unnoticed by the household.
Thorough and hygienic cleansing is
the best safeguard against infection,
and such a safeguard is found in the
universal household necessity-Borax.
This simple preventive carries in it
self, disinfecting qualities which enter
the fabric or act upon the article to be
cleansed in a hygienic manner, elimi-
mating every unwhOlesome property,
rendering it contagion-proof, while at
the same time BOrGT is of itself as
harmless as salt.
Unlike most disinfectants which de-
pend upon their strength of odor or
armful-tO-the-system qualities, to ar
rest or prevent cOntagiOn, BOraX is Ma
lures remedy, being easy to obtain and
easy &c apply, a simple solution in hot
water being all the application neces-
sary and requiring no prescription, it
can be obtained from any grocer or
druggist in convenient, economical
household packages.
In addition to it's disinfecting quail
ties, Borax is especially a household
necessity, and can be used for soften
ing water, cleansing and whitening
clothes, clearing the skin, whitening
hands, makes an excellent dandruff re-
mover and can be used on the finest
laces or most delicate fabrics without
injury, while as an adjunct 70 the bath
1T removes all OdOr of perspiration and
leaves the skin soft and velvety.

FOUND WEALTH IN TOMATOES.
Jacksonville, Texas, Farmers Har-
vested n Crop Worth $SSO,OOO.

vested a Crop Worth $SSO,O0O.
The tomato shipments from Jackson
vile, Texas, and points within a radius
Of eight miles of there aggregated LOO
cars for the season recently closed.
The average price received per car
was $500, or a total of SSS0,000 that
has been turned into the pockets Of
the farmers of this immediate section
as a result of their seasons work
Jacksonville this year has captured
from Crystal Springs, Miss, the palm
for being the greatest tomato shipping
point in the United States.
1t is only within the last few years
that the worth of the soil in this sec
ton for tomato growing became known.
Until this discovery was made the land
was considered practically worthless.
Corn, cotton and other ordinary crops
do not do well. There was no demand
for the land. The farmers eked out
a miserable existence with their
scrawny patches, of the old-time prod
ucts. Finally a government soil expert
visited the section and made an analy-
sis of the soil. He pronounced it splen-
didly adapted to tomato growing and
to peach raising. This information
was scoffed at by the practical farm
ers, who thought they knew more about
the soil of their own farms than any
'upstart" from Washington.
A few of the more progressive land
owners thought that there might be
something in the report made by the
government soil expert, and in order
to test the theory they planted small
patches of tomatoes and set out peach
tree orchards. Their success from
the very beginning was little short of
marvellous. The tomatoes thrived and
produced abundantly. The peach trees
made fine orchards, and when they
reached a bearing age they produced
a fruit that soon attained wide repu-
tation for it's excellence.
Many difficulties in the way Of mar
keting had to be overcome before the
tomato and peach raising industries
we're placed upon q certain and prof.
table footing. Although abundant
crops were raised, heavy losses were
incurred on account of the lack Of q
system in their marketing. The grow
ers now have their own sales agents in
the principal cities of the North and
East, who attend to the marketing for
them. The demand for the tomato crop
is so great, however, that buyers
flock here from all parts of the coun-
try during the season and most Of the
crop is sold free on board the cars at
the shipping point.
The tomato shipping season here
opened on May % this year. The first
car sold for 50 per crate. Many of the
early cars sold for $3.50 per crate. At
the higher prices which were obtained
early in the season, the profits Of the
industry were enormous. The shipping
season ended the early part Of July.
The last shipments averaged about 30
cents per crate. Even at this low
price the growers realized good profits.
The bank deposits in the little town
Of Jacksonville aggregate nearly ST.
100000, having increased about $780,

Deafness Cannot be Cured

the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an infiamed condition of the mu-

this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to it's normal condi
ton, hearing will be destroyed forever:
