When Darbourville citizen

friends and nelghbors of his exper-
fence, you can rely on his sincerity.
The stateeuts of people residing in
far away places do not command
your confidence. Home endorse
ment is the kind that backs Doan's

convincing. Investigation proves II
true. Below is a statement of a
Barbourville resident. No stronger
proof of merit can be had.

THE CHAUTAUQUA

Have you bought your tickets for
the Chautauqua for yourself and
family? II not, why not do So?
However much we may turn up our
noses at culture in the shape Of mus
ic, art or general information, there
is nothing on earth except a clean
heart to compare with It. 1t is
something which cannot be taken a.
way whatever the vicissitudes which
may sweep over our lives, because
it is a part of the soul and mind.
The man who has money and yet
is incapable of enjoying the finer
things which culture brings has lost
the best part of lie. He is on
par with many other men who have
worked like dogs to get together e.
nough money ito enjoy life only to
find that culture is to him but ashes
since he has killed that part of his
soul which should have enabled him
TO enjoy it.
Go to the Chautauqua and take
children. They, at least, are worthy
Of chance to the best in life and
the inspiration they may receive will
perhaps help lift them to a higher
plane of cultural methods of enjoy
ment. 1920 for adults and SI.lO
for children will carry one thru the
whole Chautauqua program. 1t
ought to be more, but is not. Buy
and regret not.

Fortunately politics do not inter-
fere with the work of the horny

growth of the corn or even of the

not have to account to any man for

find time to listen to the candidates

pretty much his own boss. However

Two Good Methods of
Trappinu MuSkrat

At the foot of slides or runs is
generally the best place to take
muskrat. Traps should be placed
in shallow water and the bait hung
about five inches above the trap.
A weed or piece of brush on which
in placed a few drops of the best
muStkrat bait will do; it should be
fastened securely so that it viii not
float away on the current. A shell
tered place is the best for setting
the trap; if this cannot be found, d
break of wood or stones should be
made in order to protect the trap
and bait.
Another method which many trap
pers have found to be very success
full is to build a mound of mud and
stones in shallow water, set the trap
at the bottom of the mound under
the water, and then sprinkle a few
drops of selected muSkrat bait on
top of the mound. The mound should
always be little above the water
in order that the bait will remain on
it. The trap should be staked firm
ly in deep water so that the musk
rat will drown itself in it's struggle
to get away after being caught.
Muskrat should be cased pelt side
out and all superfluOus meat and fat
scraped off thoroughly before ship
ping. The tail should be cut off, as
1T is absolutely worthless, and need
lessIy adds to the shipping weight.
Skins should be dried in a cool,
shady place, not exposed to the sun.
When the skin is dry enough to hold
it's shape it is ready to ship.

On a dainty dessert plate before
me was a thick slice of a single
tomato, and it was as large as a
large coffee saucer. The mayonaise
dressing was preferred by some and
the French dressing by others.
These magnificent tomatoes were
grown in a town garden. They each
were staked to a small post to be-
gin with, but when the plants were
more than two feet high, wire
poultry netting was stretched over
the rows and well fastened to un-
rights to prevent sagging. The up
growing tomato stalks pushed
through the netting and the young
tomatoes were on top where they
had plenty of sun and air, and
welI-supported when the tomatoes
were hefty. can remember when
tomatoes were first brought into my

Joy. We are initiative creatures IN
our infancy and the home that does
not use eggs as frequent article

S.d5hern FARMERS, why MOT Raise
E1ax2
In the early days of the republic
flax and silk were raised in Georgia
and the Industrious housewives were
skillful in handling the fax and wove
it into very strong, heavy cloth that
wore well. For working mems
brooches (they were not called pants
in those days. nothing was more sat
isfactory. My husbands family,
flax here in Georgia, and the
'heckle"-some called it hackle-
was kept in the family until Sherman
came along during The Civil war, and
everything that we could not carry
as refugees disappeared in the raid
was made of iron, with a number of
upright things resembling nails, but
longer and sueootlTer.
After the flax was grown and cut
ted in long troughs until it was plia-
bic, the flax stems were pulled across
the hackle. The fine parts were
spun on a flax wheel and woven in
a homemade loom, such as cotton
cloth was woven upon. There were
no sacks to be bought for farm use,
unless the women wove coarse tow
sacks. Baskets were made of any
shaped into a basket. Flax breeches
wore astonishingly well.
In Belgium there has been flax
raisine for hundreds of years. That
country has been the center of &C
tivity in fag-raisin~ countries for
a very lorg time. The lace makers of
the world have been glad to get the
fax fiber crown in Belgium.
With a climate like Feloium ant
plenty of soft water in which to rot
the flax successfully. there could be
flax farms. All over Europe men,
women and girls and boys pull this
fax fiber by hand. Before the war
their wages ranged from 20 cents
per day up to so cents for ten hours
work. If we in the United States de-
eide to raise fax for the fiber we
must find a more satisfactory way
of doing the work.
The prepared flax in normal times
sells readily at from 20 to 40 cents
n pound. Flax is raised extensively
in Ireland and Russia. Irish linen
is much sought after. The Russian
peasant must have tow cloth for
general and rough usages. Cant
somebody make a trial on a small
scale of raising fax here in the
south?
Growing Prize Tomatoes
Tomatoes grow so readily in this
part of the country that we do not
