be required to put missing letters to-
gether and arrange them so as to spell

scented among those advertising on

advertisement somewhere until enough
have been removed from the entire
page to spell the name and business
of the firm selected. For example.

foot of the column is to be filed in
with the name you make out of the
missing, letters.
In addition TO this the contestant
will find six sets of three questions to
be answered in categorical style.
These will always be on the Bible,
world history, geography, Georgia,
current events, and your home town.
But the questions will be changed in
each page and they will be new each
time,-but not hard and always short.
The person turning in highest num-
Der of correct answers will get ten
dollars in gold. The person tnrn-

SUNFLOWERS A PAYING CROP
Raised by Farmers in Southeast Mis-
souri, on as Large a Scale
as Corn.

Kansas City, Mo.-In southeast Mis-
souri, farmers raise sunfiowers to feed
chickens. Many farmers in New
Madrid county, Missouri, are growing
sunfiowers for seed on as large
scale as they grow corn.
The seed is high in Oil and protein
and makes an excellent feed 1t is
used chiefly as a feed for parrots and
as a part of the commercial poultry
feeds. The seed is purchased each
fall by general seed buyers from st.
Louis.
The soils in which sunf1owers are
grown are the once swampy lands and
range from sandy loans to clays. The
average production is about 5000 to
$1,000 pounds of seed tC the acre. The
usual selling price is from 213 to 4
cents a pound. The average return is
about $40 for each acre. Some of the
farmers are growing the sunflowers in
place of corn.
The crop is planted about the same
as corn. In the labor required in han
ding and cultivation, the two crops
are alike. When the crop natures, a
wagon is taken into the field and the
heads are cut off and thrown into the
wagon. The seeds are then threshed
out with a threshing machine.

ABLE TO FOLLOW ANY TRAIL
Australian Aboriginals Are Conceded
to Be the Finest Trackers
Known to the World.

The Australian aboriginals are the
finest crackers in the world.
On many occasions they perform
feats which are almost beyond belief.
But to them the work is quite habitual.
The boys are taught to track from
birth.
The women are just as expert as the
men. Horse tracks are child's play TO
them; they can track horse at full
gallop. They can track anything
possums, snakes, iguanas; even beetles
leave sufficient trail for them to work
on.
The standard of honor among these
tribes is high. When one of them
breaks their strict code, fearing the
wrath of the tribe, he bolts, and,
knowing he will be pursued, uses all
his knowledge in an effort to elude
those in search of him; br1 it is ques-
tionable If there is single case on
record where he escaped.
What might be called classes in
tracking are held for the youngsters.
The tutor will get them in body, and
then disappear into the bush and do
everything he can do to make them
lose his tracks. He will tiptoe along
fallen logs, swim quarter of mile
along a stream, double on his tracks,
and so on.
Finally he returns to the boys, who
then set out to pick up the tracks.

II you Suffer from Backache, Lum-

American men and women must guard
constantly against kidney trouble, be-
cause we eat too much and all our food
is rich. Our blood is filed with uric
acid which the kidneys strive to. filter
out, they weaken from overwork, be-
come sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and the result is kidney trouble,
bladder weakness and = general decline
in health.
When your kidneys feel like humps of
lead. when your back hurts or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are
obliged to seek relief two or three times
