California to Manage Aunt's Farm

Agreement and Asks Dam.
ages-0ther Suits
Filed.

B. f. Darnell filed suit in the Ma
son Circuit Court yesterday against
his aunt, Mrs. Mamie Gallagher, of
the county, asking judgment for $500
less a credit of 5000, for an alleged
breach of agreement with him.
In his petition young Darnell said
that he was living in Los Angeles,
Cal, pleasantly situated with a posi-
ton that paid him forty dollars a
week when he received letter from
his aunt, the defendant in the suit,
informing him that she was getting
too old to attend to and manage her
affairs and urging him to come to
live with her and manage her sever
al farms in Mason county. After sew
eral letters, he says, he decided to
accept the aunt's proposition as she
had told him that be would make good
money and soon become a rich man
and that she would give him one of
her large farms. He says he sold his
goods and left his position and came
to Maysville.
For a time he says everything went
we'll and his aunt paid him 5000 but in
short time he says her conduct be-
came unfriendly and hostile and no
tees appeared in the newspapers over
her signature that he was not the
manager of her farms and that she
would not pay any bills he made. He
says her conduct shows a determine
ton to break her contract and agree
ment with him and he asks for judg-
ment against the defendant for $500
less the 5000 she advanced him some
time ago.

NATURAL
IRON BEST TONIC
Costs but a Fraction What Weaker
Preparations Sell Fora Spoonful
In a Glass of Water Dose.

The absolute proof that medicinal
iron would help the blood and
strengthen people wonderfully has
caused many chemists to perfect more
or less efficient iron toncis and more
or less efficient tablets.
For most people, however, the
writer would say that just plain high
ly concentrated Acid Iron Mineral is
better, far cheaper and stronger and
goes from two to six times as far.
A bottle of Acid Iron Mineral, kept
handy and a teaspoonful poured in a
glass of drinking water after meals,
makes a delightful, very unusual and
highly beneficial tonic and strength
ener, and if the blood needs enriching
and purifying it would be hard to find
anything that does it better or rids
the system of rheumatism and kim
dred ailments quicker than just plain
concentrated Acid Iron Mineral,
which is the name for non-alcoholic
natural iron.
1t also has beneficial effect upon
appetite and digestion, and the kid
neys soon show it's effects.
(Note:-) AIM does not act as a
laxative and should one be needed to
stimulate the liver or bowels a good
laxative tablet like Aim Liver Pills
is recommended.

NIGHT SCHOOLS MAY SOLVE
LABOR QUESTION IN COUNTY
Saving Of Fuel Has Become Matter
to BE Considered in POstpOnlng
the Opening of County Schools
aud Some WIN Operate
Night SchoOI

1t was reported yesterday that the
matter of saving fuel had become
quite a question in dealing with the
subject Of postponing the opening of
the county schools one month so that
the farmer boys could help their faith
ers harvest the corn and tobacco crop.
1t is pointed out that should the
opening of school be postponed a
month this spring, 1t would have to
be continued "a month longer in the
winter thus taking large amount Of
fuel that should be saved during these
war times and this argument has
changed the minds Of many trustees
who had proposed to postpone their
school opening and it is now thought
that the majority of the schools of
the county will open on schedule time
Some of the school teachers desir-
ing to be patriotic and assist their pa
irons as much as possible have made
arrangements to conduct night
schools for month so that the farm
err boys who must be kept out of
school and yet who desire to keep up
their school work may attend school
at night during the month of Septem-
Der and fall right into their places
and go ahead with their classes the
first of October.

Chief ESSENTIALS
IN DAIRY BUSINESS
Consider Selection of Profitable
Cows, Markets and loca-
ton of the Farm.

The prospective dairyman should
consider the selection of profitable
cows, the markets, the location of the
farm, and the prospects for profits,
according to ]. b. Fitch, associate pro-
fessor of dairy husbandry in the Kan
sas State Agricultural college.
Experience with dairy cattle is the
main essentials in this business" said
Professor Fitch. 1.-THE dairyman must
not only be good judge Of cattle, but
he must understand how to feed and
care for stock in such manner that
will bring best results.
''In selecting breed, one should
consider the question from a COM
munity standpoint. If there Is GER
tain breed already In the community
1t is advisable and wise to adopt 1t and
develop the best herd possible. Com
munities should be organized and farm
ers and dairymen cooperate more eX-
tensively in the development and rails
ing of purebred animals. In communi-
ties where there are only few cows 1t
is advisable to purchase bull for gen
eral community service, Farmers are
not only aided in disposing of their
animals, but feed may be purchased to-
gether or extensive advertising of their
stock in farm papers can be more
economically handled"
One should not start with purebred
cattle at first unless he has had ex-
perience, believes Professor Fitch. This
being the case, 1t Is advisable to buy n
few good grade cows of some particu-
lar breed, and with purebred bull,
grade up the herd. A bull backed by
good individuals and excellent dairy
records should head the herd.

MEMORY MAPS" ARE FREAKS
Try to Draw Outlines Of the Various
Countries and You VIII Be Sur
prlsed at Your Ignorance.

A man and wife sat at the table ut
their home trying to draw the outline
map Of Europe, from memory. OBJ
serves the Ohio State Journal. They
soon found that they knew little about
1t. They had been reading of European
events for years, and yet when they
came to putting their mind picture Of
The continent on paper they forget their
geography entirely. The man had read
Anabasis and Homer In the original
and yet put Greece between the Adri-
attic and the coast Of Spain. and left
Austria out altogether. The wife had
Spain and France side by side on an
east and west line, with Belgium to the
north, covering both, while she made
the boot Of Italy q fashionable $40
gaiter. Anyone looking at the two
maps could tell they were not Of
America or Asia, but Of where, he
couldn't say.
But seriously, 1t Is delightful
amusement and might with profit be In
dulged in more. After one gets through
with Europe, take the other continents
and the countries that belong to them.
And then one might come nearer home.
1t would be really sad to observe the
ignorance concerning our own locali-
ties, but 1t would be amusing, too. Just
for fun. have company draw maps Of
Great Britain and Ireland, or Turkey,
China, Kansas and Nebraska, Louis
lana, Delaware, etc., and much sur
prised you will be to see how this old
earth had changed since you trusted
1t to your memory.

PROMPT ATTENTION
TO ANIMAL WOUNDS
First Step Is to Explore for For.
eigr Body-Then Arrest
the Hemorrhage.

Animals on the farm are continually
being wounded. The first step to take
in the care of wound is to promptly
explore the parts with view to as
pertaining If there is foreign body
then arrest the hemorrhage to prevent
waste Of blood. The latter can often
be done by twisting the blood vessel
or tying 1t, or by compression. The
wound should then be washed with
an antiseptic solution of some kind.
1t Is important that the wound have
proper drainage. 1t may be necessary
to do little cutting before good drain
age is obtained. A wound that "pock-
ets' seldom heals quickly. Small
wounds about the head and neck
should be first cleaned, peroxide Of
hydrogen applied (stitching material
dipped in same), then edges of wound
brought together and stitched as even
ly as possible. Paint edges of the
wound with tincture of iodine or apply
equal parts oxide of zinc and boric
acid or any other reliable commercial
busting powder. Never stitch wound
unless you believe 1t necessary to hold
the tissues together.

ALFALFA TO RESTORE SOILS
Lands Deficient In Humus and
Nitrogen is Well Known.

The power of alfalfa to a estore worn
out lands and to build up soil that is
deficient in humus and nitrogen is
known to all of us. II can easily be
seen by anyone who will compare the
subsequent crops grown on alfalfa sod
with those on ordinary soil, or even
where barnyard manure has been
heavily applied. Realizing these facts,
1t Is evident that alfalfa must be
grown more extensively In our crop
rotations to maintain and restore the
soil that Is being depleted by the large
crops Of sugar beets and other prod
ucts. Many acres of alfalfa hay land
are sacrificed each year for the more
remunerative returns from beets,
cantaloupes or potatoes grown on al,
falfa sod, and as result alfalfa hay
has become scarce and the price Is ad'
vancing to point that dlsheartens the
stock feeders. We must work all these
things TO balance so as to equal'v'
our operations.
