Length, thirteen inches. The vel.
low under surface of the wing, yellow
tail shafts, and white rump are char
acteristic.
Range: Breeds in the eastern
United States west to the plains and
IN the forested parts OF Canada and
Alaska; winters in most OF the east
ern United States.
Habits and economic status: The
flicker inhabits the open country rath-
er than the forest and delights in park
like regions where trees are numerous
and scattered. It nests in any large
cavity In q tree and readily appro-
pirates an artificial box. It is DOS
sible, therefore. to insure the presence
OF this useful bird about the farm and
to increase its numbers. It is the
most terrestrial Of our woodpeckers
and procures much of it's food from
the ground. The largest item of ami.
NAL food Is ants, Of which the flicker
eats more than any other common
bird. Ants were found in 524 Of the
684 stomachs examined and SO stom-
achs contained no other food. One
stomach contained over 5000 and two
others held over 5000 each. While
bugs are not largely eaten by the
Kicker. one stomach contained II
chinch bugs. Wild fruits are next to
ants In importance in the ficker's
dietary. or these sour gum and wild
black cherry stand at the head. The
food habits OF this bird are such as to
recommend It to complete protection.

; The Advertiser:

|Edl6r The Advertiser:
For the information of your nu-
merous readers, I will first say that
OakdaIe is the newest suburb of Ches-
terfield Ind is located about two miles
Southwest of the Court House on the
new Observation-Disclosures highway, on
the crest of the high ridge from which
the wateFg Cow on one side to the
Pee Dee 4H on the other side to
Lynch's Riv6
Oakdale h11 already acquired
reputation as b health resort and
good many Of Chesterfield's "W.K."
citizens are planning to spend part
of the heated term out on the ridge
where the cooling breezes blow; and
yet be able to keep in touch with their
business at the county seat.
The Rev. John Knox Hairs efforts
to establish a new Baptist church in
this section are fast reaching fruition.
Work has already begun on Oakdale
Baptist Church and same will be
rushed to completion. Mr.. Hair is an
earnest worker and this new church
already has a fiourishing Sunday
school.
:. Mr.. r. E. Hanna was in Oakdale
IA few days ago with a corps of sur
veyors having his plantation sur
veyed. 1t is rumored that Mr.. Hanna
| is going to have his land sub-divided
| into small farms of about 25 acres
each and sell same to the Belgian
emigrants recently landed at Charles
ton on the "Wittekind." The Bel
gians are noted for their frugality
and are the most Industrious people in
the world. The land around Oakdale
is well fitted for the raising of sugar
beets, and their forms of intensive
farming, for which the Belgians are
| noted.
Mr.. T. Ray Eddins, who has re-
Gently purchased a large plantation
at Oakdale, is very busy making his
plans preparatory for the cultivation
of his six-horse farm this year Mr.
Eddins has one of the incest farms in
| Chesterfield county and has a reputa-
ton for being good business man
and successful farmer.
Mr.. Ira Redfearn, who recently
purchased large tract of land Just
north of Oakdale landmark, the
Leaning Pine" has large force of
hands engaged in clearing up a num-
Der of acres for farming purposes
this year. Mr.. Redfearn has already
had 36 acres prepared for cultivation
and additional lands will be ready for
cultivation by spring.
Mr.. A. A. Dougloss, Sr., has pur-
chased from Mr.. w. C. Purvis a nice
tract of land and has erected thereon
a handsome bungalow. We are glad
to have Mr.. Douglass with us as one
of our citizens as he is very pro-
| gressive in his business and bears a
reputation as an inventor.
1t is rumored that several repre-
sentatives of Savannah capitalists,
who are interested in the turpentine
and rosin industry, were in this sec
tion last week investigating rosin beds
on Mr.. w. A. Burr's plantation. A
number of years ago, when rosin was
not worth very much, quite quanti-
ty of this product was left in these
parts by the turpentine operators.
Since the worldwide cataclysm
known as the European war has
cuased prices in every line to ad-
vance, rosin has suddenly become
very valuable.
The many friends of John D.
Smith note with pleasure that he has
been elected one of the County
Board.

For Forty Years He
Fought Losing Battle
WITH VICTORY NEAR COLUMBI-
AN ALMOST LOST HOPE
WIFE URGED HIM ON
Says If he had not found help when he
did he believes he would not
"Be living man today"

After suffering with physical trou-
bles, D. D. Gordon, of 720 Seventh
St., Olympia, a suburb Of Columbia,
on October 2Sth declared that "I just
can't praise Tanlac high enough, and
four dollars worth of Tanlac COM
pletely broke up my troubles after
hundreds of dollars worth of other
medicines had failed to even help me-"
Continuing, Mr.. Gordon said:
81 suffered from stomach trouble,
some kidney trouble and disorder of
the bowels. I had these troubles,
especially the indigestion for about
forty years. After meals 1 felt all
puffed up, was in considerable pain,
and my stomach was so disordered
that my food was not digested suf-
fered constantly with severe form
of bowel trouble and my food often
passed through me before it was hard
ly more than half digested. Severe
pains often aggravated this trouble,
too.
Though, had tried a great many
kinds of medicines that were said to
be good for my troubles. just kept
on getting worse and / had lost hope
of getting we'll, and, if had not got
ten Tanlac when l did, do not be-
lieve l would be living man today.
Really, l do think Tanlac has kept me
from the grave
when l was, told about Tanlac, l
had taken so much medicine that l
had no more faith in medicine, as it
all had failed me, but my neighbors
kept telling me Of Tanlac and finally
l gave my son a dollar and told him
to buy me a bottle. When l started
taking Tanlac l was in awful shape
and it had been months since l had
gotten good; nights rest. The first
bottle did me no good at all, so far as
| could tell, and did not want to get
any more, as l thought l was just
throwing my money away by buying
Tanlac just as l. had when 1 bought
the other medicines. My wife after
me, though, and ! bought the second
bottle.
"The second bottle was half gone
before l began to to feel better.
Thenthe Tanlac took hold of my trou-
bles and now they have peen COM
pletely broken up. Four r.bottles gave
me complete relief, and am in fine
health now
1.-The Tanlac gave me a good appe-
tlte, and now eat three big meals
day, though used to never eat a bite
of breakfast, for my system was in
such bad shape l never was hungry
in the mornings. l have gained
good deal in weight, too, but l have
not weighed recently, so I can't say
just how many pounds.
Il can now eat cabbage, fish or
beef three things which were like rank
poison to me before l took Tanlac
The Tanlac also drove away that
sleeplessness and / rest like child
now.
81 recomend Tanlac now because l
want the world to know what it did
for me, so they will be able to take
it. l have persuaded lot of people
to take Tanlac, for it is wonderful"
