About the Small pox.

Our esteemed yet choleric neighbor, The Clarendon Sun. wants to know why the Brinkiey papers didn't tell'em about small pcx
 Now down to the rock bottom truth, this Brinkley parer has heard ten times more about s,natf pcx in Clarendon than in Brinkley. There have been a few cases of the disease among the colored people of BrinkIey. but these were confined to the pest house and nc one knew much about it. The first case we heard of in Brinkley was ? co!oyed man said to have come from or through Clarendon. but this didn't excite or agitate anyone in Brinkley. It was taken care of in business like way. just as other cities do with the disease. Situated as we are with thousands upon thousands of people passing through Brinkley each montf on its 28 daily passenger carrying trains, ws cantssnord to "go up in the. air. get wild asd stie up everything just because.of a sstray case of small pcx. Time was. way back in years. past. before Brinkley grew to be the city she is.s that lew cases of- small pox would scare us into "conniptior fit" Not So any more. Our Boarc of Heath and officers have learned how to handle the pest now and they have so minimized the danger that nc pays aEy attention to t any more.
 That's the reason. Bro. Sun-man.

Shooting at Storms.

Another popular belief has been
rudely shaken as the result of scien-
5tifico investigation. There has not
been much heard of late about pro-
ducing rain by the discharge of ex-
plosives, but the belief in the efficacy
of cannon in breaking up 1hailstorms
has been more persistent. In the
vinegrowing regions of. France, and
Italy the injury done, by hailstorms is
a very serinus matter, and the firing
of cannon has come into quite gen.
eral use as a means of prevention
But now comes from United States
Consul Sharp, of Lyons, a series OF
articles giving the conclusions arrived
at by the French department of com
missions of meteorelogy showing Its
disbelief in the efficacy Of the prac
5tice. II does not find that the firing

purpose Of dispensing hailstorms.

man who invented the patent bottle
holder did them a good turn when he
removed the temptation from their
path, as well as he saved household
ers and milkmen pretty penny.
This holder comprises two clasp
members which fit around the bottom
and neck of the bottle. A hinge-like
affair acts as a lock and retains one
end of the upper clasp, the. lower one
being already fast to the wall or door
jamb, as the case may be. The milk
man sets the bottle in the lower ring,
adjusts the upper ring around its
neck and snaps the lock, defying early
morning providers to get the bottle
away. In the same way the housewife
can prevent other sorts Of thieves
who steal the bottles for their trifiing

Farmer Is Real Spender, Says Wilson

ulation ! do not expect prices to fall
SOON l,t
Secretary Wilson was asked If west
ern farmers really were investing
large sums Of money in automobiles.
There is too much truth in those
reports ne responded, The farmer
is out Of debt. He has paid for his
farm, his fences and his machinery.
He has money in his pockets and big
crops continue to come on. He is
afraid to invest in eastern securities,
lest a year bring trouble there. There
fore he puts his money in Injuries,
instead of channels that might give a
return. People in the east do not
know what luxuries are; they must
go west to find that out.
The farmer is handicapped by lack
of labor. Too many have gone from
the farm to the sidewalk. l hope that
education along agricultural lines will
remedy this, but the tide has not yet
turned. But by means of improved
machinery the farmer today can de
many times as much as he accom-
plished ten years ago. He does i

Lost Money Orders Worth Millions

system is perfect and instructions
are clear and ample.
For one thing it Is known that
persons purchasing money orders ig-
norantly destroy them, believing that
the order constitutes nothing more
than a receipt Many persons also
are in the habit of purchasing mon
ey orders before travelling from one
place to another, with view of con-
verting them into cash as needed, and
these are lost through carelessness,
by fire, etc.
1T also frequently happens that or
ders are sent to wrong addresses, and
after repeated attempts on the part
of the postoffice department to find
the payee or remitter, are sent to the
department, together with advices. as
unpaid.
! Notwithstanding this, the govern
ment has wisely made provision for
! the payment of money orders lost OF
destroyed, by the issuance, upon sat

of a duplicate money order payable
