Onion Lovers Shudder at Deadly Devastatri

\ OVERS of beefsteak and onions
Il were startled the other day when
the department of agriculture an
,nounced that the tylenchus devastatrix
had invaded the United States and the
future of the onion industry was in
Jeopardy.
The invader with the imposing name
is known also as the onion eelworm.
Hitherto 1t has confined its operations
to Europe, Africa and Australia, where
1t has wreaked havoc, but now it has
made it's appearance in this country.
The government experts, in warning
the growers Of onions, did not mini
mize the gravity of the appearance
here of the eelworm. 1t seems imper-
vious to chemical remedies that have
been tried for its eradication and the
eggs Of the insect, the experts declare,
will survive two years Of complete
dryness.

twentieth Of an inch long," says the

cure a great evil and thereby aid
in the Back to the Farm Move
ment". Thirty years ago Ireland
had eight million inhabitants, but
as the land owners were very
severe in their terms with the
tenants, making it almost impos-
sible for an industrious tenant to
buy his own home, those hard
ships caused enormous immigra-
tons from Ireland to this country
and in about ten years the popu-
lation of Ireland was reduced to
four million. The British Govern
ment then established these Farm
Credit Banks" and consequently
the Irish are now staying at home
and enjoying a considerable de-
gree Of prosperity. Germany and
France, also established these
banks several years ago and they
have helped wonderfully towards
promoting farming industry.

MAKES OLD PEOPLE
STRONG AND WELL

We want to get the news to
all old people about Rexall Olive
Oil Emulsion, a remarkable new
food-medicine which we firmly
believe is the best remedy ever
made to overcome the weakening,
facilitating effects of increasing
old age. 1t helps to rebuild vast
ed tissues, strengthen the nerves,
and give new energy and lively
feeling to the body. 1t contains
no alcohol or dangerous drug. It
may not make you feel better for
few days, but if you do not feel
much better and stronger before
you have taken a quarter as
much as you have of other medi-
cines that have not helped you,
we will gladly give you back your
money.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion con-
tains pure Olive Oil and the Hy-
pophosphites which, though they
have long been endorsed by sue
cessful physicians, are here for
the first time combined. The re-
suit is a real body, nerve and
bodybuilding food medicine that
we believe is superior to anything
else in overcoming debility,
weakness and liability to disease,
and to tone and strengthen the
nerves and enrich the blood.
You who are weak and rundown
you who are often troubled by
various cold weather ailments, use
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion to get

We carry in this issue the an
nouncement of Jeff Holloway for
Sheriff. He halls from one of the
strongest Republican sections of
the county and is a man who
numbers his friends by the hun

didates to get into the race, but it
can be safely said that he will
make the campaign sufficiently
warm as to overcome any small
handicap like a late entrance. If
the voters elect him sheriff. and it
IS generally regarded that he
must be reckoned with, Cooke
County will have an official of
whom they will have no cause to

DAY MORNING AND JURY PAN
Ell HAS ALREADY BEEN DRAWN
FOR FIRST WEEK..

Converting in regular term, the court
of record will be called to order Mon
day morning at 10 o'clock. but the
docket is comparatively light. A jury
panel for the first week has been
drawn, and deputies were busy yester-
day hunting up those whose names
were drawn from the box.
The readiness with which the pris-
oners are pleading guilty at the recess
terms is keeping the list Of cases at
the regular terms down to a mini
mum. Deputies had something to say
about 1t yesterday, saying that the
administration of Judge Kirke Mon
roe is in the main responsible, because
the prisoners are let off in cases where
the offense is nothing serious with
minimum fine which gives the de-
PENDANT unfortunates a chance to cut
out the time in the lookup until court
opens, and If they are unable when
pleading guilty to pay the fines and
costs. they are allowed to give a
ninety-day bond and pay for their
law breaking. This also cuts down
the costs for keeping prisoners In the
county Jail.
