One of the best corn yields in
this county was that made by
L. Carter, living on A. j. Mat
thews' place, west of East Prai-
RE. Mr.. Carter, when he plant
ed his crop, had some of the Hud-
son variety of corn, grown by
him for several years in Ken
lucky. He had just enough seed
to plant seven-eighths of an acre
and upon this small piece he
raised 1913 bushels Of corn, being
at the rate of 146 bushels to an
acre.
There were 1900 stalks that
produced two ears each and it is
estimated that the ears, if laid
to end, would completely cover
the rows upon which they were
grown. Mr.. Carter was not ex-
perimenting for a big yield and
the small patch received the
same treatment as given to his
other crops-three times cult
waited. The soil was a black
loan and he will try for a big
yield next year.
He is enthusiastic about corn
clubs and desires to get one or
ganized here. lie says this S. E.
Missouri soil will produce great
crops if the farmers will but
give attention to seed and farm
intelligently.-East Prairie Eag-

such a chap has every day his
sure mishap? All he needs is
hearty cheer to make him hap
py while he's here. Don't let
him think, that the earth was
dead against him since his birth.
Crack his shell; draw him out;
don't let him skunk or pout.
Make him tell you all the woes
of his heart before he goes.
Don't tell him he's a chump but
tell him to get up and hump;
tell him not to be so slow, but
get around and say, "Hello!"
Pm alive what can | do to help
myself, as well as you?" Do
not wait until he's dead to strew
bouquets around his head. Nice
words spoken are out of place,
if not said before his face.
Make him see that you're his
friend, and will stay such to the
end. Yes, tell him now though
he's rough: "Why old brother,
you're just the stuff this world
needs to make it go; now brace
up and cry, Hellop" There are
plenty such about, that are
worth the digging out. In this
way you surely can make him
feel that he's a man. FIe will
always think Of you as his best
friend, tried and true. In the
future you will know what good
it does to say, Hello"

will never be able to understand
is why any person will walk in
to a newspaper Office and make
himself or herself an object of

they would disdain to ask for in
any other shop or place of bus

pie is the same in the newspaper
office as in the dry goods store,
the grocery, the drug store, and
what a great many people need
is to recognize it as the same

Specialist Explains
Cause Of Stomach
Trouble
Valuable Advice to Sufferers

There are many different forms of
stomach trouble said well-known
specialist recently, but practically
all are traceable to excessive acidity
and food fermentation. That is why
the results obtained from the use of
drugs are usually so disappointing
Admitting fermentation and conse-
quent acidity of the food contents to
be the underlying cause of most
forms of indigestion. it naturally fol
lows that the use of reliable ant
acid, such as the pure blsurated mag
nesia which is so frequently pre-
scribed by physicians, will produce
better results than any known drug or
combination of drugs. Accordingly |
almost invariably advise those who
complain of digestive trouble to get
some bisurated magnesia mote the
name carefully, as other forms are
unsuitable for this purpose,) from
their druggist, and take from one to
two teaspoonfuls Of the powder, or
two 5 grain compressed tablets, with
a little water after meals. This by
Immediately neutralizing the acid and
stopping the fermentation, removes
the cause of all the trouble and in
sures normal and healthy digestion"
