Some differences. By this. state

roads will not be seen in this coun-
try until proper machinery for the
utilization of the road making ma

Another point in connection with
the late presidential election well
worthy Of recollection is the fact
that Wilson did not receive as
great a popular vote as was re-
ceived by Bryan in either OF his
three races for the presidency.
The year 1912 can be put down as
the year in which the republicans
acted the fool at the right time,
or the wrong time; just owing to
how you view the matter.

In another column, over the sig
nature of Citizen" we publish a
suggestion which, when put into
practical use, will result in a much
cleaner town. The friendly criti-
cism made by Citizen" is applic-

besides Evening Shade we should
guess, and his suggestion should be
needed by business men every
where.
According to the Little Rock pa
pers a number of senators and
representatives are gnawing at the

do the business in that time. 1t

The Melbourne Times was seven

The women of Arkansas will ask

MISSOURI CURE FOR GAPEs
Disease Most Prevalent In Damp
Weather, Caused by Worm In
Chicks Windplpe.

(By MRS. JOHN J. MOORE, MlssourL)
A most common disease among
chickens and one which causes great
loss in the summer Is gapes. Tnls
disease, which is most prevalent IN
cool, damp weather, Is caused by
worms, which get In the young chicks
windpipe, causing it to gasp for breath
and If not dislodged, shutting on Its
supply Of air.
Sometimes the worm can be twisted
out with a horsehair, but this is @
severe remedy and other worms may
take it's place.
The following Is preventative and
will check the trouble at once:
Obtain the leaves of the common
WOODWORK, sometimes called Jerusa-
lem oak, q plant which grows wild In
most places, having an erect shrub
berry stem and small, yellowish flow
ers. Its leaves when crushed have
an unpleasant odor and are used in
the manufacture of vermifuge and to
protect clothing and furniture from
moths and other Insects,
Mash the leaves and mix in a small
quantity with the chickens feed or
put in the drinking fountains.
Or, after the seeds have ripened,
they may be used instead Of the
leaves and quantity gathered for
future use.

Rape makes a good crop for late

Poultry is extremely profitable If
properly handled.
Poultry, fruit and bees form COM
bination hard to beat.
Fowls have no sense of smell. They
have nostrils, but not noses.
A cement floor in the laying pen

Don't let lice get away" with your
chicks, while you wonder what ails
them.
Keep the males separated from the
growing pullets. Both will develop
better
Ducklings generally begin melting
when eleven weeks old and continue
for about six weeks.
Don't forget that wet and leaky
coops do not tend to produce healthy
chickens, but early death.
1t is a good plan to let all the
breeding stock out Of the yards to en-
Joy free range during the summer.
Don't try to breed from poor stock.
It takes too long and good stock Is
cheap enough for you to start right:
Free range for the flock greatly SIM
plifies the feeding problem, because
the fowls can balance their ration, to
a large extent, with the food they pick

BATH COUNTY COURT HOUSE
NOW In ASHES

Warm Springs, Nov. 22--Bath
County's handsome new brick court
house, which cost the county sixty
FIVE thousand dollars, and was
completed only about five years
ago, was totally destroyed by fire
at an early hour this morning. md
it is not vet certain that valuable
records, books and money belong
ing to county and the Bank OF
Warm Springs were rot also &C.
seroyed.
The fire caught from the furnace,
and was discovered about l O'Clock
this morning. The only way to
fight it was with a bucket brigade,
and this was wholly inadequate,
and the building was rapidly con-
sumed. 1t was with the greatest
difficulty and after the most herloc
efforts that the Jail near by, also
new structure, and the jailer's res
idence were saved. No other build
ings were burned.
In the courthouse was the treas
urer's Office, also the offices of the
Bank of Warm Springs. 1t is fear,
ed the vault doors were sprung by
the intense heat, and that valuable
records and papers, and possibly
paper money belonging to the
bank or to the treasurer, as well as
the court records, were injured OIL
destroyed. 1t is still impossible
owing to the heat, and smoldering
fires to explore the ruins sufficient
ly to reach any definite conclusion
There was an insurance on the
courthouse of only ten thousand
dollars.
Court was in session Thursday in
the building, presided over by
Judge Anderson. Today he con-
tinued the session, holding it in tn"
Masonic Temple which was opened
to the court.
LATER-Reports give the graft
flying news that all the valuable
records were found intact.
