sTRETcHER FOR WOVEN WIRE
Excellent Device May BE Made Using
Heavy Chains Attached to TWO
by Four Pieces.

An excellent device for making a
stretcher for woven wire is described
by Elmer J. Million Of Oklahoma In
the Farmers Mail and Breeze as fol-
lows:
Take two stay chains from the wag-
on and a log chain, fasten a chain or
wire about two feet from two by
four or other pole and connect back
to the corner post and you have a
good stretcher for woven wire fence.

Fix up the binders before the begin
ming of harvest.
Sow some grass seed on the bare
spots of the lawn.
Good hay depends more than half
upon the hay-maker.
Plan in plenty of time to de-tassel
the corn on the seed plot
There is always trouble with milk
and cream in hot weather.
Spray the fruit trees. It Is good In
surance for this years crop.
Red clover is the most common clo-
yer grown for agricultural purposes.
The extra haystack will do no harm.
and may be a splendid reserve supply
for next year.
A good pasture makes a brimming
milk pail; and silo makes possible
good winter pasture.
OF the making of roads there IL no
end, and the last state of some of
these Is worse than the first.
Burr clover, or, as it is sometimes
called, California clover, is adapted to
low lands that are well drained.
Spade up the ground around the
shrubs and trees, leaving about two
feet OF cultivated land about each
plant.
Good roads are more essential than
million dollar court houses; the one
benefits the masses. the other the
classes.
Many farmers every year lose por-
ton Of the value of their crops be-
cause they have not force enough to
SOW them in season.
Forty pounds of pure Kentucky blue
grass. ave pounds of solid redtop and
three pounds OF white clover per acre

All the hair Is waved for this hair

pinned on. That would at any rate
be the most convenient way in which
to wear them They are too light and
fluffy to burden or heat the head and

It will be noticed that the puffs are

with other students she returned

she was taken down with fever and
was given the anti-toxin treatment
as preventive measure, but despite
the best attention the disease de-
veloped and she has gradually grown
worse and at this time is reported
to be quite i'll. A trained nurse has
been called from Natchez and the

in the prayerful hope that the crisi:

The attention of this Board having
been called to the petition of the Texas
& Pacific Rail Road Co. to the Louisiana
Rail Road Commission, in which that
body is petitioned by the said Rail Road
Co. for permission to discontinue the
through train service over the Iron
Mountain route from McGehee, Ark,
to New Orleans, upon motion the follow
ing resolution was adopted:
Be it Resolved, That this town and
community are materially interested in a
McGehee, Ark, to New Orleans by the
st. Louis & Iron Mountain and Texas <
Pacific routes; that said service is source
Of great convenience to the people along
the lines of these two roads, and an
abandonment of the same would mitigate
against the interest and convenience of a
very large number of patrons of these two
roads.
Be it further Resolved, That this Board
is advised that the complaint OF the Of
ficials of the Texas * Pacific X. X. Co. to
the effect that this service has not paid
is not we'll founded for the reason that
the service has not been on for sufficient
time to give it fair trial, that during the
time it has been in effect there has been
no effort on the part Of said road to adj
vertise said service in such manner as to
advise the general public of the fact that
this is the nearest, quickest and most
economical route from St. Louis and in
termediate points to New Orleans; that
TO discontinue said service at this time
would be unfair and unjust, and it would
work an inexcusable hardship on the
travelling public along these lines.
Be it further Resolved, That this Board
strongly urges upon the State Rail Road
Commission that serious consideration be
given this matter before action is taken,
and upon the Hon. r. B. Bridges as 8
member Of that body and representative
of this district that he do all in his pow
er to prevent favorable action on the pc
tition Of said road asking the discontin
uance of said service.
There being no further business, tn,
Board adjourned sine die.

Chicago, Sept. 2S.-Adenoids in
children, caused by the swelling oi
the adeuoid tissues, which prevents
Il child from breathing through the
nose, is n primary cause of criminal
tendencies.
This was the keynote of n paper
on Upper Orifices of the Body" read
by DR.. Eugene Hubbell of st. Paul,
MINI, before the American Associa-
tion OF Orificial Surgeons here.
'Adenoids, or any affection of the
nasal passages or of the throat, af-
Iect the hearing and change the cur
rent of child's thoughts said Dr..
Hubbcll.
I'm a chronic case of adenoids the
child may become a mouth-brcather
instead of breathing through the
nose. That means that the lungs are
not supplied with enough pure oXy-
gen. The lack of pure oxygen affects
the purity of the blood and the brain.
Tho child becomes weak. anaemic
and nervous. The will is weaker
The mind is abnormal. The whole
character of the victim undcrgoes Il
change and the trend is toward Grim
inality.
ITO operate means for that victim
Just what tuning the strings Of the
piano means in music. Ii restores
harmony because il restores physical
fitness, and that brings mental fit
ness. Some orifiCial surgeons are
really tuners of the human piano;
they restore the harp strings OF lite
