MAC" MAKES A DISCOVERY
New Cure for Bloat Given to Stock
mon by W. A. MACPHERSON

One of the sturdy farmers OF
the Lamar district, who is always
ready to give his fellow-farmers the
benefit of his study, observation
and experience is w. A. MacPher-
son, who recently handed out the
following to the Sparks
"A neighbOr came to me the other
day and said very anXiOusly, Say,
did you ever stick cow? One OF
mine is blOated. she was down and
l thought she would die anyway.
Won't you come over and help me?
Il had never stuck cow but |
had read that formaldehyde was a
good remedy in case of blOat. had
some fOrmaldehyde, a-two ounce
syringe, and some iodine Taking
these along | went with him to
where the COW was lying. She was
sure enough down. ! told him to
get me gallon of water and |
poured into it about an ounce of
formaldehyde and with the syringe
began pumping the mixture into
her stomach | didn't know what
the result would be but thought |
couldn't kill her in quicker time
than 1t would take her to die any
way. But behold miracle. |
hadn't used over six ounces of the
mixture when the COW belched and
got up. | then treated with iodine
the wound he had made in stick
ing her. Using a smaller syringe /
injected iodine into the wound. l
left what remained of the mixture
with him.
"a few days after he called and
told me that the next day after |
was there another COW became
bloated and he had to use only
small amount of the fOrmaldehyde
mixture to cure her, also that the
iodine had proved a wonderful
healing remedy.
81 can assure you that was very
glad to be the means of saving the
two cows and | am writing this
hoping that the remedy will be
tried in other cases and will be
equally beneficial

HEAD WORK BEATS HARD
WORK

Sixty years ago in the dairy there
would be two cows side by side re-
ceiving the same feed: one of them
would give us five pounds of butter
week, while the other would give
IA pounds of butter per week.
We were paying just as much.
therefore, to the COW for her five
pounds as to the COW that furnish
ed us IA pounds This was poor
business on the part of the dairy
man. There are some dairymen who
are still following this method, but
the progressive up-to-date. money
making dairyman is keeping only
the COW that gives him the big re-
turns.
1t is Just the same way in the hog
business, as hogs are built on diff
ferent plans with different capa-
cities and qualities, the same as the
COW. One hog will give you six
pounds of pork for bushel of
grain, another one IS pounds to 20
pounds. No one should be long in
determining which is the money
making hog and select him to mar
ket their feed, grasses and grain
through
1t is the same with everything:
one man is worth three times as
much as laborer on the farm as
another. The Indifferent man has
hard time to get a job and
doesn't hold it long, while the
other man always is in demand at
better price.

THE HOW OF IT

The railroads of the country are
hoping for gross income of be
tween three and four billions for
the present year. The farmer is feel
ing certain of an income in excess
year income for the farmers of the
United States is commencing to
bear some wonderful fruit. One re-
suit is an entirely different kind of
farm fran the farm we used to
know about: a different kind of a
farm home and a very different
kind of farmer. 1t was only a
few years agO-nOt much over five
that the farmer who purchased
an automobile was regarded with
suspicion not only by his neigh
bOrs but by his banker as well. To
day the farmer who does not own
an automobile would be classed
with the unsuccessful. Over 60 per
cent of the automobiles of the
country are being purchased by the
farmer. Individual electric light
plants for the farm are rapidly
coming into general use. Fully
equipped bath rooms and toilet are
no longer the exception in the farm
home, and all over the land the
farmer is commencing to live up to
his ten-billion income Perhaps the
most noteworthy change is the
fact that the boys and girls of the
farm are no longer rushing to the
cities The automobile is largely re-
sponsible for that, for the young
folks can visit the town and city
daily if they wish. incidentally,
this means new life. in the rural
No longer does the country village
slumbera oil the week to awaken on
Saturday when the farmers come to
town, for the farmer in his auto
mobile comes in every day and
every evening.
And the best of it is, that the
ten-billiOn income promises within
a few years to become fifteen-bil-
lion one, and the American farmer
is rapidly learning how to get tin
best out of it.

BREAKS CURRENT
and STOPSDEATH
W. J. Derby, Operating Picture Ma
chine in Movie Theatre, Has
a Narrow Escape.
UNABLE TO CALL FOR HELP
Body Is Rigid When He Falls Agains
the Machine, Preventing His
EiectrOcutiOn.

W. ]. Derby, employee of the Ameri-
can motion picture house, escaped
electrocutiOn by the narrowest of mar
gins yesterday afternoon. The man S
system was so charged with an electric
current that he could not move his
jaws or call for help.
Only the fact that Derby. almost
unconsciously, had the presence of
mind to throw his rigid form against
the lantern which operates the reel
machine, breaking the current, is re-
sponsible for his being alive today.
Derby, who lives at 707 Seventeenth
street, was working with several con-
nectiOns en- the machine when he re-
ceived the shock that nearly proved
fatal He was preparing to make some
changes in the wiring and touched the
live wire. 1t is not known exactly
how many volts passed through his
system, but it is thought that the cur
rent was strong enough TO kill a per-
son Of weak constitution. His body
became rigid and he was unable to
call for help. Just as companions
turned and discovered Derby's predica-
ment he fell against the machine and
broke the current.
The man, unconscious. was hurried
to the office of DR.. Perry Vessel, where
restorative measures were admins
tered. Derby suffered an ugly cut over
the right knee. This he probably re-
ceived in falling. DR.. Vessel found it
necessary to take several stitches to
close the wound. Derby was able to
be about again today

ENGAGING NURSE
ISUP To CITIZENS
Meeting of All East Moline People In
terested Called to Settle the
Question.
COMMERCIAL BODIES SUPPORT
Aid From Several Sources Already
Pledged Promoters of the Work,
1t is Announced.

Whether East Moline, from this
time on, has visiting nurse, working
for the good of humanity of that city
depends upon outcome of a meeting Of
all interested citizens, called for this
evening in the Commercial club rooms.
The big project for civic better
ment, if it becomes a reality, will be
backed by the Commercial club, Bus
mess Mems association, Womans
club and industrial extension commit
tee, members of which organizations
have sponsored the movement. Plea
of promoters is that everyone affiliat-
ed with any one of these bodies make
an effort to be present this evening,
that whatever action is taken may be
a reflection of sentiment of the city as
a whole.
Assurance has been given sponsors
of the work during the last few days
that there will be substantial support
from a number of sources, more than
sufficient to assure success. All aid IS
upon condition, however. that the cit
liens who assemble at the mass meet
ing this evening promise their liberal
cooperation.
If the plan is Endorsed this evening
appointment of the visit . nurs9 Will
be made within the next week, it is
understood. The work will probably
commence Sept. l.
Plans for securing a city nurse
whose duty it would be to care for the
needy of the city, have been under
way for more than a year, having had
their inception in the minds of sever
al interest citizens. The project has
recently been turned over to the in
dustrial extension committee, which
has been at work in the city for the
last year, as the most effective agency
for promoting the plan. The East Mo-
line field is, in some respects a more
difficult one 10 work in than is the Mo
line territory.
The meeting called for this evening
will commence at in the Commercial
club rooms. There will be a program
and several social features.

CITY IN TRIBUTE
FOLLOWED PASTOR
Three Hundred People Attend Ban
quot in Celebration Of Father
keliey'S Anniversary.
% YEARS IN THE PRIESTHOOD
People of All Creeds Testify to the
Force Of His GOedly influence
In the Community.

Friends, parishioners. brother priests
and dignitaries of the Catholic church
gathered in the banquet hall of the
Moline Commercial club last evening
to honor Father Joseph S. Kelly, be-
loved pastor of St Mary's church, and
TO celebrate his 25th year of service
in the priesthood.
1t was a great occasion for the hum
dreds who filled the large banquet
hall to utmost capacity, and it was a
greater occasion for Father Kelly. All
through the evening his friends and
the visiting clergymen had showered
compliments upon him. The deeds of
kindness that he had performed dur
ing his paStorate in this city were re-
called again and again. The interest
he had manifested in the upbuilding
of the city and in the welfare Of the
community at large was fittingly
touched upon With warmth of eX-
preston the speakers of the evening
expressed the wish that he might live
to celebrate his golden anniversary in
the priesthood.
And when the last compliment had
been paid, the earnest well wishes OF
admiring friends had all been express
ed, Father Kelly, the picturesque and
rugged figure that he is, arose to make
response to the 800 and more men
and women who were seated before
him.
A man whose eloQuence had swayed
thousands, a man around whose per
sonality has been built one of the
strongest parishes in the diocese,
Father Kelly stood before the large
assemblage. and haltingly grasping
for words that he might convey some
idea of his appreciation of the dem
onstration of friendship and love that
had been given him, he cOntented him
self with simple words of thanks. He
said he could not help but glory in the
kind things that during the evening
had been said about him, but that in
those same expressions there had been
set before him a standard which he
must ever strive to attain. Mistakes,
he said, he had made, and would prob
ably make as Nin, but he would go on
serving his people and all the people
of Moline as best he could.
And, finally, in voice that quavered
with emotion, he said:
God bless you ALL
