PLANT JUNE CORN NOW.

1t is not too late to plant June corn
in most sections of Texas. Those who
have available land would do well to
plant June corn. 1t can be used in a
number of ways to good advantage,
besides gathering the ears, as is done
with the early varieties.
Late corn furnishes a most excel
lent soiling crop. Green corn is rel
ished by cows, hogs, horses and mules.
1t is ready for use at a time when
succulent food is much needed. There
are very few crops that make more
feed per acre than June corn when
used this way, provided. of course, the
land is strong.
Late corn, when it fails to make
substantial ears, may be cut for fod-

stage and oftener it makes good ears.
Late corn makes good silage. A silo

LOOKS GOOD TO US.

A million and a half bushels of
wheat is a conservative estimate for
this years crop in Cooke county, and
one million bushels of oats. Then
with big cotton crop, a good corn
crop. bountiful hay crop, with tons
of choice vegetables, many carloads of
fruits and enough small berries to fill
every dessert dish in the land as a
luxury on the side, why shouldn't we
rejoice?
Just think what bank rolls those
farmers will have placed to their bank
credit in the near future. The red
figures on the bank ledger are going
to be conspicuously absent the bal
ance of this year with the Industrious
and enterprising Cooke county farmer.
He is right now moving upon Easy
street. and the beauty about the
whole situation is that when Mr..
Farmer prospers, everybody else par
ticipates more or less in his good for
tunes.
We are going to have the best times
in Gainesville and Cooke county the
balance of this year ever known here
before, good folks. So cheer up; a
business millennium is now upon u.s.

crv,t,I, Of vitality Save Lives.


About ten years ago Japanese re-
searcher, Takamine, in the laboratory
of Columbia university, made the dis
covery that a certain substance, Sc.
creted by gland Of the OK or sheep
when injected into the blood of other
animals, had the power of greatly In
creasing their blood pressure and con-
sequently their vitality. He called this
substance adrenalin and succeeded In
refining it to light yellow crystals.
When the suprarenal glands which Sc.
crete this substance were removed by
an operation from the living animals.
they invariably died, showing that 1t
was necessary to the life OF the AMI
mails. However. only small quantities
are needed by the animal, and hence
but little is secreted by the glands,
and then only in very weak condition.
being mixed with other substances.
The crystals are pure and have ex'
tremely great power. One part of the
adrenalin dissolved in 100000 parts OF
water is strong and capable OF per-
forming miracles. In fact, one-half
thimbleful, or about that much, has
been used in hospitals all over the
country, time and time again, to en-
able man to pass a crisis when his
natural strength would have failed
him. Hundreds Of men and women
can thank, adrenalin for their lives. q

Make. for Smooth Existence.

There is a good deal said about the
loss OF individuality, o loss when real
which we all deplore, but man Is
more likely to keep his individuality,
with his life, II he follows in his mo-
tor the formulated lines of traffic
rather than meet another man in his
motor on the wrong side of the road.
II both men happened to be in a civic
parade there would be no loss Of In
dividuality to the man who kept his
place behind instead Of driving out
from his place in order to get farther
ahead of the man behind him, or In
order to slip in ahead of the one
ahead of him. Keeping In line means
a simple thing often, but 1t Is one
Of the trifles that make for a perfect
~ smooth existence.
There are seeming restrictions In
life that hamper, but there are great
many others that forward. 1t is easy
to understand the gains when compli-
ance of purely mechanical sort-but
very necessary been made. BY
reasoning from their analogy we may
find out to our advantage that there
are many others less tangible, a com.
pliance with which would do wonders
in making the world 60 round, and in
making ourselves the happiest and
most successful people.
