SAME BoTHERsoME WEEDS
Pests to the Aborlgines Continue to Be
an Annoyance to Farmers Now
TiIIlng the Soil.

When Samuel Champlain earned the
gratitude of succeeding generations by
keeping a journal as he sailed along
the, coast from the mouth Of the st.
Lawrence to Cape Ann he recorded,
among other things, the appearance
Of the fields which the Indian women
cultivated not far from the site of the
present town of Gloucester, Mass. He
described relates writer, the hoes
used by them, made from the shells of
the horseshoe crab creature which
interested him greatly, and he also told
of the weeds which these women
grubbed up with their primitive hoes,
thus saving their corn, beans and
squashes.
Among the weeds he mentioned es-
pecially the purslane of which he saw
enough and, If he could come back to-
day and inspect the gardens along the
Massachusetts shore he would find the
same weeds fourishing in the same old
way and holding their own against the
most modern of farm implements.
More than that 1t would not be sur
prising if he found fields In which the
weeds had gained the upper hand and
had smothered the planted crop,
whether Of beans, squash or corn, and
he could we'll be pardoned If he Won

300 years, was still helpless against

COMPARES MEN WITH TIRES
Philosopher Asserts That the lmpor-
tant Auto Fixture Is Not Unlike
Some of Human Race.

"The more have to do with auto
mobile tires" said Philosopher Jim,
"the better l understand men. There
is no limit to the comparisons that
might be made, but let me ask your at
tention for just one of them. 1t turns
upon the way they come to an end,
men and tires alike.
. "On my little roadster l may have at
one and the same time two tires OF
such different character as this:
zone has served long and well. 1t
seems sound as ever, and still looks
good for a lot of work. But its healthy
appearance is deceptive: 1t has
vast number of we'll hidden decayed
cells.
"They began to 60 separately, not in
masses. No one part of that tire wore
out all by itself. The whole thing has
been slowly, subtly honeycombed with
wear.
'The limit is reached suddenly. The
end, prepared for slowly and in the
dark, comes swiftly; and it Is very
complete end. The tire is a goner, the
doctor can do nothing for it.
"Some men end like that; seemingly
vigorous one day; and the next day,
| on the scrap heap.
"And then there are tires and men
that go the other way. They seem
worn and weakened, but they are
sound inside. The shell goes first, the
inner tube retains its usefulness You
know they are going, but they always
seem good for another days work, an
other hundred miles. They will stand
lot of patching.
"Tires are mighty human, and that's
why 1 really enjoy fussing with them"

SENSITIVENESs HURTS A MAN
Affliction Often Results In Absolute
Ruin Of Persons Who Are Inclined

In an article called 'How I Cured
Myself of Being Sensitive" writer
says In the American Magazine:
"'Wagner, you've got ability he
cried, but you'll never get anywhere
in this world until you quit tearing
yourself to piecesl I've watched you
for the last three years twice I've had
1t in mind to push you up notch In
the Office, and every time I've passed
you and picked some one else, because
I knew you aren't fit to handle other
men. No man is fit to handle other
men until he has learned to control
himself. You can't, you're too blamed
sensitive. .m.
"'Little setbacks break your heart.
A letter Of complaint comes in from
some customer and you take 1t as a
personal criticism, and lose days
work brooding over It. You see me In
conference with some Of the other men
and you stab yourself wondering why
you weren't invited and imagine that
I have turned against you. You hear
about some one who is making more
money than you, and Immediately all
far fields look greener. You're fair
ly useful cog in your present job, and
1t might put me to some annoyance to
lose you. But you'll never hold big

world takes a crack at you. Hanged

FARM PROFITS
WILL AID LOAN
Rural Business Men Are Well
Able to Take Up Their
Share in the victorious"
Fifth.

More than ever before the American
farmer finds himself in the position
Of comfort and prosperity which Is
his just due. Lean years are for him
no longer. Last year the average of
farm earnings broke all records. Six
million farms in 1918 produced crops
worth s12,2SO,OOO,OOO.
This year it is estimated that "a
greater wheat acreage than ever will
be sown. Naturally, the farmer is
making the most of his opportunities,
and with guaranteed wheat prices
and high prices for everything he
grows, the outlook for him is most
encouraging. And Europe will fur
nish market for his fat hogs and
steers.
1t would be interesting, if possible,
to assemble comparative statements
Of the farmers bank accounts now
and five years ago, and the list of
mortgages that have been cancelled.
And it would be more interesting per-
haps to have a statement of the Lib
erty Bonds now in the hands of these
tillers Of the soil.
Very soon the farmer will have fur
Their opportunity to prove that he is
not without loyalty as we'll developed
as any mans. For another loan is
almost in sight, a loan that will draw
upon us all.
Because of his price guarantee OF
1925 a bushel, Uncle Sam stands to
lose from so to rs cents upon every
bushel of wheat harvested next seas
on. Having given this guarantee to
the farmer, he will make it good.
That is Uncle Sans way. But what
is Mr.. Farmer going to do for Uncle
Sam in the Victory Liberty Loan?
: In every Liberty Loan to date the
farmer, as a class, has bought less
bonds than men in other prosperous
classes. He has been able meantime
to get more sugar and everything
else upon which the government put
a restriction, than others have.
The big question now, when he
stands to cash in at Is per cent
premium upon his wheat crop, is what
is he going to do next Liberty Loan
drive?
Some Liberty Loan officials are
suggesting that the farmer should
buy 500 bond for each 100 bushels
of wheat he sells to the government.
He has made. the profit and should
have no hesitancy in taking high
grade security in payment for the diff
ference between what the govern
ment gets and what he receives for
his wheat.

Curious Plant Which Grows. on the
Borders of the Dead Sea Pro-

The Dead sea is situated in the
southeast part Of Palestine, and Is
called by the ARABIA Bahr Loot, or Sea
of Lot It is about At miles long, with
an average breadth of nine miles. Its
depth varies considerably. 1t is fed
by the Jordan from the north, and by
many other streams, but has no APP
parent outlet, its superfluous water be-
ing supposed. to be entirely carried Off
by the evaporation. The north
shores of the sea are marked by the
blackened trunks and branches OF
trees which are incrusted with salt, as
is everything that is exposed to the
spray Of this sea.
On the southern shore is the remark
able mass of rock called Udsum (Sod'
om). 1t is a narrow, rugged ridge OF
hill extending five miles northwest,
and consisting of rock salt. To the
north Of Udsum, and at no great dis
lance, is the supposed site of the an.
cient Sodom.
On the borders of the Dead sea a
curious plant grows which yields fruit
called the apple of Sodom," beautiful
on the outside but bitter to the taste,
and, when mature, filled with fiber and
| dust.
The mean level of the Dead sea Is
1892 feet below the level Of the Medi'
terranean. The water contains from
"A to 26 per cent of salts, of which

Mental and Physical Work.

Mark Twain wrote as follows on this
subject:
"There are wise people who talk
ever so knowingly and complacently
about the sworking classes and SAT-.
isfy themselves that q days hard in
telectua work is very much harder
than a days hard manual toll, and 10
righteously entitled to much bigger
pay. Why, they really think that, you
Know, is because they know all about
the one, but haven't tried the other.
But I know all about both; and so far
as I am concerned, there isn't money
enough to hire me to swing pickax
thirty days, but will do the hardest
kind of intellectual work for just as
near nothing as you can cipher it down
and I will be satisfied. too"

Purchasers of 1919 War Savings

Secretary of Treasury Urges
Citizens to Keep Govern
ment Securities Until They
Shall Have Matured.

Carter Glass, Secretary OF the Unit
ed States Treasury, has issued a warn
ing to patriotic American citizens
against INSCRIPTIONS persons who adj
vertise that they are willing to pur-
chase War Savings Stamps. Mr.. Glass
does not wish to have the government
securities sold at sums below their
actual value.
He points out that people who are
actually in need Of money may take
their War Savings Stamps to post
office and receive cash. Mr.. Glass
urges holders to keep their stamps
until maturity.
He states that War Savings Stamps
belong only to the individual who hrs'
purchased them and that people who
offer to buy stamps at low premium
are violating the letter Of the law II
so doing. Men and women selllns
stamps are not only losing money
which rightfully belongs to them, bu

Keeps Pace With
Progress Of Game

With the growth and development
of the country, and in keeping with
the progress of the twentieth cen
tury, many modern inventions have
been made. One Of the biggest fac
: tors in any business, whether it be
manufacturing, wholesaling, agri-
culture or any enterprise where
transportation enters into the bust
ness, ii is essential that modern IA
cilities be acquired to carry out this
particular part of any business. One
Of the foremost concerns Of the
South, that have been first in the
field to show the many advantages Of
motor transportation to facilitate
deliveries, was the Greenlaw Truck
and Tractor Company, with main Of
fices and sales rooms III New Or
leans at 1521-23-25-27 Canal street.
This concern is MAJ e up Of leading
and far-sighted business men Of
Louisiana who have successfully IN
troduced the heavy motor trucks and
tractors in the southern part of the
state.
The Duplex four-wheel-drive truck,
for which this company is the sales
representative in New Orleans, main
tanning a branch at Franklinton, La,
has proven to be, by demonstrations
as well as years Of service, one Of
the most economical and substantial
and dependable trucks on the mar
ket. So great IS the confidence of
the concern in this four-wheel-drive
truck that the company has stand
ing offer Of thousand dollars to
any other five-ton truck that can
show equal ability and economy. The
company has expressed desire to
arrange q contest upon request.
The Duplex four wheel-drive truck
Is considered by users to be the most
powerful three and one-half ton
truck manufactured, Many Of these
trucks that have been in service for
ten years are running vet. There ID
no question but that four drivers will
dc three times as much work as two
drivers. The four-wheel-driye trucks
have been used almost exclusively
for heavy transportation in the
army.
The Greenlaw Truck and Tractor
Company has established branch
at Franklinton, La, where the Du-
plex four-wheel-drive truck is dis
played and demonstrated. The COM
pany Is always pleased to go into
the question Of transportation By
motor trucks and win willingly set
forth the many advantages Of the
Duplex in modern business and farm
ing.
