Ah-Ker-choo

Yes, this is the Indian name
for hay-fever, that most persis-
tent of diseases which is in sea-
son officially commencing Aug.
Is. It has been tuning its vic
tins up ere this in this commu-
nifty and several of our people
are almost hors du combt al
ready as a result Of this invader.
Where hay fever comes from,
where it goes and what to do for
it is a question not scientifically
answered to date. Some people
who live in Kansas City are re-
lieved from it if they go to st.
Louis and vice versa. Some
people living in Illinois would
find no relief even if they went
to China. Thousands of people
seek relief when there is none.
The matter Of fighting a dis
ease the origin of which is un-
known is no small matter. Some
think it comes from the dust of
the goldenrod, others think the
horseweed seed responsible, 9th
ers shink it is due to the pollen
from some other growth and be-
tween the entire bunch of think
ers no one has much of an idea
of the ailment excepting that it
is here about August Is and
hangs around for about a month,
leaving its victims wishing for
relief, even death being sometimes
acceptable. While scientists are
trying to find specifics for other
ailments why don't some of them
get onto the hay fever?

Good Roads Boosting

Efforts are being made to in
terest people in this vicinity in
the governors proclamation ask
ing for help August 2O-21 to put
the roads of Missouri in better
shape. A meeting was held at
Odd Fellows hall Tuesday after
noon with about 80 persons pres
ent and an effort was made to
organize the workers in every
road district in this township for
the labor to be done. There is
about one dozen road districts in
the township and each has an
overseer and several others nam
ed to assist him in preparations
for the attack on the bad high
ways. One Of the most enthu-
siastic districts was the Walker
district northeast Of this city
where it is probable very effec-
tual work will be done. The
boosters are still on the job.

The trial Of Ray AlIsworth at
Kansas City was to come before
the court Thursday of this week.
Allsworth with his wife, was the
fellow who robbed Edgar Wilks
of $105 of which Wilks secured
the return Of $85. Wilks went
TO K. G. sometime ago to attend
the hearing of Allsworth but the
latter's attorney being out Of the

No Pecans This Year

A resident of the pecan dis
trict near Brunswick was in this
city Wednesday and made a re-
port on the pecan prospect this
year. He says that he had $500
worth of pecans last year but
won't have more than three or
four bushels this year.
This seems to be the general
prospect this year as the
crop of 1918 will look mighty
slim alongside the immense
growth of a year before. This
gentleman remarked that the
pecan crop at its best is not an
annual affair. The crop does
not put forth big excepting every
third or fourth year. 1t was
four years ago last year since
there was a big crop in this Sec
ton.
