FOUNDATION OF THE DISCOVERY

to publish to the world one of the
most important discoveries of recent
times The discovery has been an
nouneed before, discussed and inves-
tigated by the Kansas City Star and
pronounced myth by it. Same by
the u. S. Department of Agriculture,
but now as in the past the expert
ments and proof offered by the practi-
CAL hard-headed farmers usually prove

science said hydrophobia was only a
delusion caused by fear-crazed brains,
also when wounds were treated with
impure water and ice until pneumo-

the same. Why should science try to
deny the facts established by the sons
of the soil? I can tell you it is Moth

About two years ago Mr.. b. H.
Rankin died at his home at the ripe
old age of eighty-one years, about five
miles from Wye and within about 100
yards of the spot where he was born
eighty-three years ago. His fathec
settled there over 100 years ago. am
informed, and E. r. (Filmore) Fankin,
his son, now lives on the same place
and the fourth generation of Rankin
is growing up around him, to say
nothing of his nephews and nieces,
who are grown up, married and rails
ing the fifth generation.
The first Rankin settled there when
there was not another white person in
that section, but he had plenty of In
dian neighbors. He probably had a
nice bunch of cattle around him and
undoubtedly had apples, for E. f,
Rankin showed me the site of his first
cabin and lying on the ground there
was the body of an old apple tree
eighteen inches in diameter. In those
days apples grew in Arkansas as
thrifty as the oak or hickory.
1t is well to connect up apples with
the stock industry, for cattle are
needed to fertilize the land and help
feed the family. At first thought it
would look silly to expect proof of the
apple blight cure from the stock in
dustry, but that is where the proof
comes from.
To complete my chain of evidence it
is necessary to tell how to find the
old Rankin homestead. It is reached
from Little Rock over the old mill
tary road through Forest Park, across
Big Maumelle, at the covered bridge
and due north across the Roland and
Maumelle road at the Masonic hall
and school house at the Cross Roads
1t was custom of the Rankins,
handed down from father to son, to
salt their cattle by placing the salt

at the roots of the forest trees around
their home When E. II. Rankin died
two years ago he had herds of cattle.
In settling the estate they were all
sold and E. f. Rankin moved back on
the old homestead with his wife and
two small children and now lives
there with his mother He has stock
ed up with some of the finest thor
oughbred cattle I have yet seen in
Arkansas. Theey are beauties OF
course he has not as many cattle as
his father had and that helps to prove
the salt cure. There are more big

PROMISE OF A 1000 CASH

In The Pulaskian of March after
visiting Hugh Moss above Roland 7
promised our readers a plan l had
discussed with Mr. Moss for lettering
the conditions of the children of this
section. Just after July 4th | again
visited Mr. Moss. This time I was
accompanied by G. J. G. Nelson. [
talked my plan over with Mr.. Moss
again and as he had a new motor
truck [ asked him if he could not loan
that to the school district to haul the
children to Wye" He replied, No,
that he had other uses for the truck,
but he would do all he could. Below
is letter to wrote to Mr.. Nelson tell

Hugh Moss.
I have already talked with State
Superintendent of Education Bond
ard he has promised to draw up the
petition and come out and explain the
matter to the people
have seen one or two other par
ties who all heartily endorse the plan
and are considering what they will do
to help the good work along. Let us
hope they will reply as enthusiastical-
ly as Mr. Moss
Such school would be able to EN-.
ploy all modern methods of instruc-
ton including moving pictures, actual
farm work, mining, etc. My collection
of minerals, Indian relics, etec., would
at the start be at the disposition of
the school and the children would be
taken into the woods and taught the
names of wild plants, their uses, med
ical values, etc. With the hearty CO.
operation of the State Department of
Education and make this school OH
example for the country schools of the
entire United States. Arkansas is

Why We Keep On
With This Campaign
-----Lucretius.

reader of the papers wanted to know why we keep
on hapg on the subject of the necessity of looking
after gas connections before winter comes
We are quite aware that the same advice is being re-
peated but it very necessary No campaign ever got any,
where with two or half dozen announcements
Therefore We keep on suggesting that people see now that
their gas pipes are large enough that burners are Of the
right kind and properly adjusted that ues be examined to
see that they free of distractions and mines and
neoti0ns examined We believe that only by keeping the
good work going will considerable number realize the
necessity and wisdom of such action.

of the University OF Nevada, who gave
the leading address. He opened his

them with those that surrounded the
ancient Greeks. He told of the great

graduating dresses, and that Fred
Dressler, other member of the class,
had many pieces of furniture In his
home, which he built in manual train
ing classes.

last Sunday when a meeting was held
to arrange the final details for its
erection.
The new edifice will be erected on

having already been raised by the
Catholics Of this community. N. P.

Horgan of Carson, has held Catholic
services In Gardnerville, usually in

a church edifice of their own.
Work on the new structure will be

WE WILL EVER WITNESS

The last total eclipe of the sun that
will ever be witnessed by the people
living In this part of the world dur

very near total. The shadow will
