"There is mono better" That's a
pretty strong endorsement, don't you
think, from man who knows all
about the merits Of the different medi-

JAKE AND HIS BEAN VINES.
Got His Corn, Land and All, and
Headed for the Moon.

Madison, Sept. 29.-Editor Keo-
wee Courier: In the spring you in
structed me to plant corn, peas, vel
vet beans, and then more corn, peas
and velvet beans. The velvet beans
were no trouble to plant and grow,
but need six Of the best demonstra-
ton agents in the State to teach me
how to gather them. planted about
an ace and a half of good land in
corn Ind velvet beans. The corn
looked fine until about the first of
August. thought it would easily
make SO bushels per acre. Butabout
that time those beans took their
flight in the direction of the moon,
and to-day l can't tell that the land
was ever planted in corn at all. One
old woman said: "Mr. Cooks beans
has bodashously kivered up his corn
and the whole face Of the yearth!"
Some few Of the vines, after running
On the ground about 20 feet, came
to large apple tree about 25 feet
high. They went to the top Of the
apple tree, and the last time | saw
them they were going in the direc-
tion Of the moon. If the moon hap
pens to be In total eclipse between
this and frost you may know that it's
tangled in my velvet beans. If some
demonstration agent had told me be-
fore I planted them that they would
take full possession Of the corn, land
and all, would have made them a
deed to the place and been done with
It. When we stand off and look ut
1t 1t looks very much like new
ground that had been cleared in the
woods, and all the bushes and sap
lings fell the wrong way, and none
of them been piled. One man told
ME to turn the cattle in the bean
patch and they would gather them
for me. But l knew that would not
do, because, just few nights since,
COW and some yearlings belonging
to the tenants on the place broke out
of the barn and tried to get into my
beans. But they only went few

Organizing for Red Cross Worl

Recognizing the importance of pre-
paredness, for women as well as men in
this crisis of our country's affairs, the
women of Wildwood are organizing for
public service under the direction of
Miss Mary Baker. Miss Baker has
received promises of cooperation from
the women of the Civic club, the
Daughters of America, the Daughters
of Pocahontas and the Guild of st.
Simeon's church, aud wishes through
this paper to ask the various Ladies'
Aid Societies, the w. G. T. u, aud any
other organizations or individual
women to join in the work. A Red
Cross class in first aid to the injured is
forming. DR.. Tomlin has generously
volunteered TO give, without c,mpepsa-
ton the course lectures, which is most
interesting and valuable to every wo-
man in her private life, as we'll as for
public service. The only expense of
this course is thirty cents to buy the
Red Cross text book, and fifty cents for
the Red Cross certificate which must
be paid by those who pass the examina-
ton. This class offers a great opportu-
nifty for self-improvement, as well as
possible service to the State. Miss
Baker will also be glad to form classes
for the making of surgical dressings,
for those who are interested in this
work. The gauze will be bought by
the classes, there will be no other ex-
pense attached to this work. If all
ladies who are interested, will leave
their names and addresses with Miss
Baker, she will notify them when the
classes start.
