Smaller Farms Mean Progress
THE Walker County Messsnger)

a(The Walker County Messenger)
Practically every newspaper today carries
large advertising space in which are display
notice of land sales Large tracts are berg
divided up and sold at auction. Real estIte
values have scared within the past six mon tkB
to q point never dTeanCe Of before.
This movement to divide large tracts Of
lands and sell on terms within the reach OF
the average man, is enc Of the best signs OF
the times. One of the curses Of any section
or county. is the tenant system. When
man buys piece OF and he at once becomes
a better citizen He is more interested than
heretofore, in good roads, good schools, gocd
churches, better legislation; in fact, he is in
terested in every phaco Of progress. II
The large EARNS in this county should be
divided into smaller farms, and efforts should
be made to get the various sections more
thickly settled. It will mean more wealth,
more progress and happier people.
Let the movement spread to every seotiol
Of Walker county and may the day sco9
come, when every man will feel the re3pong.-

One of the five British commanders
cited for their distinguished services in
the late war is General Sir Herbert C.
O. Plumer, who celebrates his ed
birthday today. He is soldier of great
skill and long experience in military
affairs. 1t is forty-three years since he
first entered the British army, He took
part in the Egyptian expedition of
1884, and served through the Soudan
campaign, being at the battles of Teb
and Tamai, his splendid qualities as a
leader being noted in the dispatches of
the day. In the South African war he
also took an active and prominent part
When hostilities began between Great
Britain and Germany in 1914 General
Plumer was one of the first command
ers sent to the western front. Later in
the conflict he was given command OF
the British forces operating in Italy.

Black Walnut Trees Should Be Replaced,

The suggestion has been made that
while we of America are assisting the
French and Belgians TO replant their
forests we might, at the same time, with
profit and wise foresight, give heed to
our own, with especial attention to re-
foresting our depleted supply of black
walnut trees.
This species is one of the most valu-
able OF our forest trees. Authorities on
arboriculture lists ii as being indigenous
on the Atlantic coast Of America. from
Maine TO Florida; and it is easily propa-
gated, either from the seed or by trans
planting III almost any other part of the
country where there is sufficient rain
fall.
1t is beautiful shade tree. and pro-
duces nut of rich quality and delicacy
of flavor, but it is chiefly valuable for its
wood.
While black walnut has long been
known as wood OF Importance in manu-
facture especially OF high grade fllrni-
ture, the war and the development OF
the flying machine have placed upon it a
price that a few years ago would have
seemed fabulous, because no other wood
answers the purpose of black walnut for
gun stocks and airplane propeller
blades If
Because OF the demand for it during
| the war. several months ago, the Boy
Scouts OF America were appealed to BY
the Government TO Seour the forests oil

nut trees The boys entered into tn,
work with a marked degree of enthusi
asm and patriotic pride and located al
told trees from which l4,03s,0 900 board
feet. or about 1861 carloads, of BLACK
walnut lumber was cut.
This timber should be replaced by re
1 forestation at once, and the plan of those
fostering the plant walnut move
ment is not only to replace the trees
consumed for war purposes, but to re
forest with black walnut regions wher,
none ever grew before.
In the future, it is to be hoped W
shall not need so many gun stocks as il
the recent past. but from now ON tn
demand for walnut for airplane propelle
blades will doubtless continue to increas

OF course. whatever we do today TO
ward replenishing and increasing on

years of time is required for walnu

CASES OF
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posture, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
q spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the Hood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys TO filter this acid from the
blood and east it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin arc also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
news to do double work. they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps aceumulat-
ing and circulating through the system,
eventually settling in the joints and
muscles causing stiffness, soreness and
pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink before
breakfast each morning for a week.
This is said TO eliminate urc acid by
stimulating the kidneys to normal ae-
ton. thus Riding the blood of these i'm
purities.
,Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
10 rheumatism. Here you have a
pleasant, efierveseent Whitewater drink
which overcomes uric acd and is ben
clicial 10 your kidneys as well.-Adv.

THURSDAY, MARCH IS, 1919.
REPUBLICANS TAKE HEED.

There is danger that the Republican
party accepts too confidently the gen
eral belief. that the next national cam
paign is TO result in great Republic
can victory; and that it is rather in
different to public opinion. This is
shown in the preliminary organiza-
ton of the next congress, in which the
old guard has too prominent place. The
adoption of the old seniority rule for
chairmanships of committees is a dis
appointment to those who hoped to see
the strongest and ablest men placed
in charge of the party S work.
More dangerous than this is the ap
parent intention to make the league OF
nations the leading issue in the next
presidential campaign. To delay action
on this question until then will almost
necessarily make President Wilson the
/ Democratic nominee, undoubtedly the
strongest candidate the Democrats can
find. If the Republicans go before the
people with an appeal for America to
withdraw from the international obi
cations it has already assumed, to re-
fuse to perform its duty and thus of
fend the nations with whom it has SO
manfully struggled to crush military
autocracv, they certainly will be de
feated.
If the Republicans expect victory il
1920 they must act upon the treaty OF
peace and the league of nations al
the first opportunity and have the
question settled before the opening Of
that campaign. They must grapplt
with the problems of the railroads
labor, industrial regulation, constitu
tional government and business meth
DDS of administration in way tina
will convince the people they can bes
serve the public good. Delay in thi
great work means defeat. Sane, con
| structive action at this time of con
| fusion, uncertainty and instabilit,
| alone can win the confidence that vii
lead the people to place the govern
J ment in their hands. The possihilit
of fatal mistakes is great but not S
4 great as the opportunity for a part
that will do and not delay or obstruct
Republican leaders should take heed.

pretty strong about what his organiza-
