HIGH PRAISE FOR REV. DIR.
SYDNOR

From the Rome, Ca, Tribune. we
take the following in regard to Rev.
DIR. G. G. Sydnor, who has accepted
a call to the Charles Town Presby-
terrain church:
On last Sunday the congregation
Of the First Presbyterian church, with
a feeling of universal regret, Joined
their pastor for nineteen years, the
Rev. G. G. Sydnor, and asked the
Cherokee Presbytery to officially af-
firm the severance of relations be-
tween the pastor and the congre-
cation.
A meeting of the Cherokee Pres
bytery will be held in the church next
Thursday, when it is thought their
sanction to the request will be made.
The whole proceedings has been
marked by solemnity of manner,
that indicates more than words may
express, the deep bonds of affection
and respects that binds Dr. Sydnor
to the people of his church, and it
will be many long day, until the
wounds of parting are healed, after
his departure which is expected to
take place about August 1st next
Letters to the Editor
Tribute to DIR. Sydnor.
Some days ago friend phoned me
she was in distress, because DR.. Sgd
nor was going to move to another
work in West Virginia. / was sur
prised and distressed too, for we had
regarded DR.. Sydnor as one of the
fixtures of Rome. Often when read
ing eloquent obituaries, think how
those words would have cheered and
helped that person if they had been
spoken or written during life, so
desire to offer this tribute of respect
to DR.. Sydnor while yet he is with US.
No man, save possibly the sainted
DR.. Headden, has had the universal
love of the people of Rome as this
man, who may be called the pastor of
Rome. No home that has known sor-
row (and who has escaped it?) but
has been comforted and ministered
unto by this man of God In our
own family in sickness, sorrow and
death, DR.. Sydnor has meant so much
to US. In countless homes among
the poor of all coIors and creeds, he
has gone about doing good"
Like the Master at the wedding in
Cana of Gallilee, DIR. Sydnor's ser
vices at the marriage alter have been
desired by all classes. Of social,
pleasant manner, his hearty laugh sis
the best of sauces." and ''his pres
ence disperses gloom" His gift of
song and pleasant personality have
endeared him to the young men and
boys of Rome who will sorely miss his
ministry.
We Methodist folks believe in the
itinerancy, but whoever came or went
at our church we still felt we had DR..
Sydnor to lean on. We feel sure
God is guiding His servant, and
wherever he goes he will continue to
be blessing and a comfort. Rome's
loss is the gain to the city to which he
gives his services. The old people at
the county Home will miss him too
for he used to walk out there even
before he had his car
Mrs. Sydnor, quiet and genial in
manner, has been helpmeet indeed
both in the home and church, and
wherever they go, they will carry the
the love and appreciation of the peo-
pie of Rome of all churches.
When we reach the Heavenly Home
where there are no parting and good
bys said, many will raise up and bless
them, because they have so faithfully
served Christ in Rome-Mrs. l.. d. Y.

NOTHING EQUAL TO HERv-
WORTH IN HOT WEATHER.
II Gives Restful Sleep, Aids
Digestion, Steadies the
Nerves and Builds up
Strength.

A tonic that does this when Md
summer heats lays its heavy burdens
upon humanity is worth ten times It's
cost. That .erv-Worth lifts these
burdens is proven by mass OF sign
ed statements still on file.
If the reader is skeptical he can
verify Wentworth claims without
running a cent of risk. The Nerv-
Worth dealer will refund his dollar
if the benefits promised do not fol-
low a trial according to directions.
This offer goes in every single Nerv-
Worth advertisement. Could any
thing more fully prove the faith in
Nerv-W Worth which its makers pos
sess?
Wentworth is family tonic
which does good and good only. Com
posed of vegetable ingredients it con-
fers rich benefits upon the system
and leaves not a trace of harm be-
hind. 1t is truly a family tonic,
blessing equally the nervous child,
the WORKOUT veteran and men and
women of all ages.
Your dollar back if this famous
family tonic does not benefit you.

NATURE PROVIDES THE INCRE-
DENTS.
Argo-Phosphate, the New Herbal
Remedy, Endorsed by Local
People.

People.
If the digestive organs are not
properly performing the work which
nature has assigned to them, then
nutrition, which is absolutely essen
tial to the recovery of other diseased
parts, will be lacking and there can
be no permanent relief. When bod
lily nutrition is normal, the stomach
digests the food, the blood absorbs
and carries the nourishment TO the
different parts of the body, causing
the various organs to properly per-
form their functions.
Nature has provided remedy in
the ingredients of Argo-Phosphate,
the new herbal stomach remedy,
which is now being introduced here.
1t is purely. vegetable and its vitaliz-
ing, correstiye and reconstructive
qualities are so pronounced that BEN
efcial results are noticed from the
first day. That this is true, it is only
necessary to listen to the statements
made by local people who have given
Argo-P Phosphate fair trial and have
been benefited thereby.
1t is dispensed by Miller's Pharmacy.

JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.
A New York Farmers Picnic.

During a recent trip through Eas-
tern New York it was our pleasure
to attend picnic held by three coun-
ties on a similar plan to the Jefferson
Berkeley picnic held June 5 at /. D.
Vanmetres farm. There were about
10000 present. We wereinformed
by the County Agent of Cattaraugus
County where the picnic was held
that they had a Farm Bureau mem
bership of 2,000.The Farm Bureau
movement started in New York and
is very popular. Membership cards
are about SKIS inches and are to be
seen tackled to buildings or posts near
the road
However there were no demon
strations in the morning or afternoon
as was conducted at our picnic. But
there was a number of toy balloons
and camera men who gave an I'M
desirable atmosphere to the event.
A fine speaking program was pre-
scented however. Most of the farm
ers present belonged to the Dairy
mans League. Mr.. r. d. Cooper,
the $4,000 president of the League
said in his address. 1T has been
said that farmers would not organize,
especially in the East. The Dairy
mems League gives the lie to the as
sertion. 1t is the strongest farmers
organization East of the Mississippi
Farmers have stood together for their
own interests and will continue to do
so. You are getting 55 cents hun
bred more for your milk than I get
from my Michigan farm because you
are organized"
Special Meetings on Wheat Disease.
A special series of meetings are
being planned with reference to the
diseases found in wheat. Steropti-
can slides are being procured from
the Department of Agriculture to IL
lustrate the life history of these
wheat troubles, and the remedies as
found by the various experiment |
stations. These meetings will begin |
after harvest or about July Is, and |
continue throughout August At the |
same time we are attempting to To- |
cate seed that is more disease resist |
ant than those grown in the county, |
so that few seed plots may be seed
ed this fall.
A Good Field OF Wheat.
On Mr.. w. A. Fulks farm Mr..
Cleveland Griffith has apparently one
Of the best feldsof wheat to be found.
This is said to be miracle wheat.
MIR Griffith thinks it may be Full
caster. Anyhow all bearded wheat
seems to be more dependable than
.he smooth. Any wheat that does
well this year is undoubtedly good
variety for Jefferson County and
should be sought for seed.

Fires In Coal Piles

Presence Of moisture in coal, and
lack Of proper ventilation in coal bins
often result in spontaneous combus-
ton, particularly in fine, soft coal.
To guard against such fires, coal
fresh from the mines should not be
put into bins until after a seasoning
of at least six weeks out doors; coal
piles should not be over ten feet high:
the fine coal should not be allowed to
accumulate at one place, but should
be mixed with the coarse; alternate
Wetting and drying Of coal should be
avoided; coal should be stored in dry.
well-ventilated bins or bunkers, we'll
removed from the sources of external
heat.
Both water and chemicals are often
Ineffective on coal pile fires, in fact
may feed such fires instead of exiting
uishing them. The only sure way is
to remove the coal from the bin, shed
or bunker and let it dry.
Caution along these lines means
conservation Of fuel, which appears
to be very necessary.
INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION
River Falls journal. [volume] (River Falls, Pierce County, Wis.) 1872-2019, 1919-11-13

recommends the following plan for tie
removal of SCOT:
THE fire is put into good condition
with a substantial body of hot fuel.
Common salt, thoroughly dried, is then
thrown or sprinkled onto the incandes-
cent fuel bed in quantity depending
entirely on the size of the furnace. In
case of a house-heating furnace, one
pound at time is ample; in case Of
a large power plant boiler, four or FIVE
scoops full may be required. The
hampers are kept open so as to main
tain the furnace temperature and the
salt is allowed to remain until the
fumes have entirely disappeared.
Immediately upon charging the
salt, the furnace becomes filed with
dense white fumes which may require
as much as half an hour to. entirely
disappear. If results are not secured
on the first application, it should be
repeated as many times as necessary.
"Once the heating surface is thor
oughly cleaned small application ev-
cry few days is usually sufficient to
keep it So"
This cheap and simple process should
be tried to prevent fires from chin
neys and to conserve coal.

HAVE GOOD TEETH

Who remembers when horses were
as common as automobiles are today !?
Those who do will remember the care
with which a buyer examined the teeth
OF horse, not alone with idea of
checking up the sellers assertion as
to the age Of the animal, but also be-
cause horsemen knew that only good
horses have good teeth.
1t was part Of the education of every
boy that a horse without good food
grinders in his mouth couldn't be kept
in good working and driving condit-
ion.
Nowadays doctors, nurses and teach
ers who are studying the nutrition Of
school children have made the same
discovery concerning human animals.
They find that large proportion of
the pale, skinny" children have poor
teeth. Not alone do the teeth Of such
children fail to grind food into form
which will permit Of its digestion in
the stomach and intestines, but germ
laden gums and tooth sockets throw
into the system poisons which under
mine health just as effectively as
would small doses of rat and bug ex-
terninators were they given TO
child day after day.
II your child isn't robust and the
food he eats doesn't fatten him, look
to his teeth just as carefully as a
horseman does in the case Of an ami
NAL which doesn't keep in condition
under natural circumstances.

Fatty Arbuckle, "the funniest man

parents, has entered into contract
with the Paramount Pictures CorDor-

FIRE PREVENTION
How To Remove SCOT

With the starting of fires, reports of
chimney and single roof fires are be-
ginning to come in.
This means that chimneys have not
been cleaned out, which is especially
necessary on account of the extensive
sc of soft coal.
Removal of SCOT from boilers, fur
faces, fiues, heating surfaces and
:himneys is also necessary to get the
BEST results in heat and power from
the fuel consumed.
