Farmers IN fdqlI yaLeJ
Live in Forts and Always
Prepared to Fight indians

Some day Ii may occur to somebody
to write a book with the title Sur
prises Of Mexico" for it becomes more
and more evident that the land is full
Of odd places and people. Not far over
the border, for example, lies u region
where life is still lived by white set
tiers under pioneer conditions. and,
as says a recent traveller, the pioneer
farmers in the YaQui valley have to
live In forts and carry guns for pro-
lection against the Indians" Here are
still wild American aborigines, a horde
Of about 10000 of them, classified as
the Tarahumare Indians, who live In
caves, worship w~oodpeckers, and are
for the most part doubtless rs ignO-
rant of the United States as If Column
bus had not sailed from Europe .Th
land itself is unQ~uestionably an asset
to the future of Mexico, nee the pres
ent troubles of the nation are over.
but, except for the pioneer farmers
and the growth Of a few mining towns,
the ''land Of Nayarit" remains much
as il must have been when CorteS was
conQuering another part of the coun-
try. In its promise of agricultural
produce and mineral wealth ii is said
to be one Of the richest regions in the
| world, but SO far "its only roads are
the winding cow-trails made by cattle
on their way to water holes. Not a
single railway crosses it from east to
west: and one line only splits it from
| Nogales TO Mazatlan. Vast areas of
the interior are practically uninhah-
tied except for lonely huts here and
there In canons or near water holes"
And the United States is only a days
ride away across the Texas border.

HINTS FOR The
POULTRY GROWER

tuberculosis and internal worms
bring about greater losses to the pOul-
try industry than any other causes,
according to FL. ID. Munroe, extension
poultry specialist Of the Ohio State
University. Unsanitary conditions are
largely responsible. These may be
improved by rotation in the chicken
runs. Soil about permanent houses
may be plowed and cultivated crops
raised. Portable colony houses may
be used for growing chickens.
The legs of chickens suffering from
worms become paralyzed. Although
the fowls eat heartily the. become

worms; prevention is the only remedy

come emaciated and are often lame In
the left leg. The most reliable
evidence of tuberculosis may be OBJ
tanned from a post-mOrtem examina-
ton. White spots varying in size from
a pinhead to a pea may be found
throughout the liver and spleen. White
Jumps of turbercles varying in size
from a pea to that of a hens egg may
be found on the intestines and body
walls. The lungs are rarely found to
be infected. The spleen is frequently
the first part affected.

ART THOU THE SAME?

Art thou the same. thou sobbing winter
The same that rocked the cradle of the
May.
That whispered through the leaves of
summer noon.
And sweIled the anthem Of the full
grown year?
Art thou the same, thou piteous. loan
ing thing.
Beating against the pane with ghostly
hands,
Wailing in agony across the waste
Art thou the same-the same?
Art thou the same, thy poor heart
bruised and faint,
Treading thy way along through twi-
light gloom?
Art thou the same that sang to greet
the dawn,
Caroling In the sunlight like a bird,
Too glad for speech, too glad for aught
but song?
Art thou the same hat prayest but for
night,
For night to come and Ease thee of thy
pain
Art thou the same-the same?
Thou winter wind that wailest through
the night,
Thou broken heart too crushed to moan
or cry,
There will be rest even for We, poor
thing,
And more than rest-a Joy new washed
In tears;
For through the portals OF the fading
year
Lie sunny hills and fields f~resh-clad in
green,
And after night who knows what day
may bring?
And We unchanged, the same-the same?

Use Two Hooks Instead of
One in Hanging Pictures

Never fasten picture wire to a pic
ture SO that, beginning at either side
Of the picture in the back, it comes
up to the hook on the holding in such
a way that a triangle is formed. While
not exactly a part Of picture framing,
the fastening Of the wire or cord is
most essential. for even the most beau
tifully framed picture should be SO
hung that the actual mechanism Of
hanging is as inconspicuous as pos
sible. Therefore use two wires, fast
ening them so that they are parallel
with the sides Of the frame, and use
two hooks at the molding instead Of
one. If you can use cord o. wire
which blends in with the wall itself
so much the better.

False interpretations of
Providence and Wonders

We are guilty of false interpreta-
tons of providence and wonders when
we either make those to be miracles
that are none, or when we put q false
sense upon those that r real; when
we make general events to have a
private aspect, or particular accidents
to have some universal Specification.
Though both these may seem at first to
have the s%trictest appearance of re-
ligion, yet they are the greatest usur-
pations of the secrets Of the Almighty
and objectionable Prescriptions on his
high prerogatives of punishment and
reward.-Thomas Sprat.

Woman Physician Asserts
Carriers Prove Injurious

Here's another theory of a woman
physician. Savages develop a better
yhce than do civilized nations-because
savages do not wear garters. DR.. Au-
gusta Rucker Of New York made this
claim recently before the international
conference of woman physicians, held
In New York. She condemned chill
dren's garters and elastic shoulder
straps. at the same time urging looser
clothing for women, and theeabolish-
ing Of pointed toed shoes and high
heels.

WORDS OF WISDOM

Real courtesy is not a mere
outside polish, a mask assumed
for a purpose, but is a product,
a manifestation Of the true feel
ings Of the human heart.
The great thing is not to be
discouraged by seeming reverse
or relapse. The victory is to en-
durance, and there would be no
endurance If we were always
gaining.
Fear to spend what we have,
nobly and or fit subjects, is a
mean kind of thing, but fear to
sQuander and to waste is whole
some and righteous. Economy
is not miserliness, and there Is
q grandeur about moderation
which is wanting In excess.
Poverty must be a crime-at
least, it is punishable by hard
labor.

LARGEST SALE
EVER Held IN
FIFTH DISTRICT
THE COMBINATION OFFERING AT
SLEEPY HOLLOW BRINGS
MORE THAN $1,000.
PRICES GENERAL SATISFACTORY
Tribute Is Paid to The Herald as Ad-
vertising Medium by Jonas e.

Medium That Was used.

Probably the largest sale. consider
ing the aggregate value of the proper
ty sold, ever held in the Culleoka COM
munity, was the combination sale on
Saturday at Sleepy Hollow Of J. |.
Finney & Sons and Thomas Bros. The
sale aggregated little over $1,000 and
while many articles sold far below
their value the average prices receiv-
ed were generally considered salts

The crowd at the sale was large
one and after the interest had been
aroused the bidding was generally
spirited Col r. f. Moore did the auc-
tioneering and he never appeared In
better form or did better days work.
For four hours, without moments
rest, he stood on the block and sold
articles from bred in the purple sad
die mare to old farm Junk" the &C
emulation of eight years of farming
operations.
The sale was occasioned by the fact
that Finney & Sons have retired from
the farm, having leased Sleepy Hol-
low for term of years to Col. Jonas
E. Thomas and also by the dissolution
of the farming and live stock firm Of
Thomas Brothers.
Probably the sheep offered sold at
the best price of anything that went
into the ring, although the cattle
brought very satisfactory prices and
this was especially true Of those that
had any milking qualities. The horse
stock and mules were not in such de-
manG.
"The Herald was used exclusively
for advertising the SALE" said Col. Jo-
mas e. Thomas, land its success was
another tribute to the drawing power
of Herald publicity. We had a fine

HOME SCARCITY
GREAT PROBLEM
FOR COLUMBIA
KNOWN IN HISTORY OF THIS
SECTION.
CENSUS TAKEN IN JANUARY
Population Would Be Considerably
Increased IL Homes Could Be Pro-
vded for the People Who Want to
Come to the City.

AS the fall moving season. ap-
proaches the scarcity of homes in Co
lumbia is becoming more and more
acute problem. People have moved
here from the country or want to
move here to put their children in
school and that has added to an al
ready serious problem of housing the
people who live in Columbia or who
would come here tG live. Real estate
has recently been active People in
the country have purchased homes in
Columbia that were occupied by ten
ants.
Now these folks in the country are
moving in. Others are going to come
soon The tenants of these houses
are Columbians. Their interests are
all here, but getting homes is prob
lem that some of them have not yet
solved Some houses have been done
over and improved, a few have been
erected but building is so expensive,
labor so scarce and difficult to obtain,
that the new homes are not drop in
the bucket"
This has renewed the agitation for
big apartment home, with three.
four and FIVE room apartments. All
agree that such a house would be a
coed paying proposition in spite of
the heavy taxes of the city More
than one capitalist is figuring on erect
ing an apartment house and two or
three tentative locations are under
consideration, but its final completion
is a long way off and in the meantime
the folks must have homes.
No such situation has ever been
known before in Columbia. There
have been times when homes were
difficult to obtain but no such search
ty ever before existed as there is now.
Unquestionably if there were more
homes the population of Columbia
would take big boost before the next
census. which will be taken in Janu-
airy. next. The question will be
brought to the attention of the Retail
Credit Association at its meeting on
Thursday night
