What's in a Name
(Copyright)
GEORGIANA.
(Copyright)


Georgiana is modernism which has
quite a bit of interesting history be-
hind 1t. 1t means "husbandman" and
dates back to the categorical saints of
the Greek Church, one of whom was
called by Greek name which meant
worker Of the earth
The fame Of st. George and the
dragon carried the masculine name to
extraordinary heights Of popularity.
From it various feminines were formed
with a distinct idea of honoring the
saint. 1t was not a slow growth, but
a deliberate manufacture. The first
English lady bearing a name akin to
George was a god-child of Anne of
Denmark, who had her christened
Georgia Anna in commemoration Of
herself and the popular saint. Later
the two names were run together and
Georgiana is the result.
Georgia is now regarded as a con-
traction Of Georgiana although it has
the right to separate existance.
Georgina and Georgette are French
versions which have also acquired
popularity in this country
The emerald is Georgiana's tails
manic gem. 1t is believed to guard
her from unfortunate love affairs by
giving her extraordinary keenness in

EVERY WORD WAS
FROM BOTTOM OF
HIS HEART
Richmond citizen very earnest
in his praise of the great
herbal tonic, Dreco' which
has done so much for him.
Pain in back, rheumatism,
Nerves shot to pieces, could
not sleep, limbs stiff and
muscles sore. Now well as
ever.

"One day I read about what a man
said about Dreco taking a load off his
back which felt like a ton OF brick
and I laughed at it but now know
that every word he said came from
the bottom Of his heart" declared
Mr.. H. e. Fleck. who is a car inspector
and lives at zoos N F ST., Richmond
Ind.
II want to tell everyone what Dire
co has done for me. I was so bent
from suffering I was afraid l would
be permanently deformed, as the rheu-
matism had such a hold on me. NV
back and limbs were sore and stiff:
muscles were drawn and the Joints
seemed to be dry; my nerves were
shot to pieces so that could not
sleep: had shooting pains in my
back and side. Really l was in bad
shape but Dreco has certainly proven
blessing to me as / know more re-
lief from pain now than in years;
can bend about and stoop over with
out the slightest pain; sleep sound
at night: getting stronger day by day.
I strongly advise sufferers to try Ore
co and they won't be disappointed"
No medicine introduced here has
sprung into such favor as Dreco
Hardly a day passes but what some
person drops in and tells of the excel
lent results Dreco has produced for
them. 1t cleanses the system Of i'm
purities, increases the appetite and
sends new energy bounding through
every nerve; it restores the kidneys
to healthy action and makes the slug
gish liver waken: relieves indigestion,
gastritis and constipation; quiets the
nerves and promotes sound, refresh
ing sleep. 1t acts on the blood and
banishes catarrh and rheumatism from
the system.
All good druggists now sell Dreco
and it is highly recommended in Rich
mond by Glenn Thistlethwaite's seven
drug ores.-Advertisement.

which to express herself, when she has
to go through every blessed one of
them in order to find something.
Men have been classified as what
women marry" They have two feet,
two hands, and sometimes two wives
but never more than one collar
button Or one idea at a time.
Men will be boys! And the man
who marries nowadays is looking not
for a soul-mate but for a playmate,
not for a guide to heaven, but for a
guide to amusement.
Two things that can always be
found in the dark: The sharp edge of
a door-and a pretty girls lips.

make new friends and there is no
reason why you and your husband
could not be contented and happy in

THE HIGH COST OF LOSING

Two Republicans were discussing the Chicago convention. One of them said that it seemed a pity that so much money had been vast ed in the Wood and Lowden cam paigns, and wondered whether, af- ter all, there had been any necessi- ty for them to cost so much. One of them said it reminded him of a story Senator Evarts used to tell.
 In his younger days the senator had known country lawyer who had defended murderer. In spite of his efforts the man was convict ed and paid the penalty of his crime. The lawyer had charged the mans relatives $10,000 for the de- fense and after it was all over they complained of the size of the fee.
 "Tell me, MT. Evarts," said the lawyer, "do you think my bill was exorbitant?"
 Well" said Evarts, 'T don't think could really say your bill was. exorbitant, but 1t does seem to me that he might have been hanged for less money"

ing them is to be wasteful.
 "It is likely, that as usual, many have not been able to get out as many early chicks as they want. While late spring matches are not as desirable as the early one, occa- sionally a lot of late matched pull lets will lay quite early. A late spring hatching can be kept on a practical and profitable footing and good chicks matured at the normal age by rigidly observing the fol- lowing rules:
 l. Don't set eggs for late hatch chickens except from strong, vii gorous stock, known to be in good condition when the eggs are laid.
 2. Don't hatch late chickens un- less you can put them on clean land which has not been used for poul- try this season.
 "This last point is especially inn portant. Very young poultry should not be put on land where droppings of poultry have been freely scattered, when the land is in grass or cultivation. If any dis ease germs have been left on the land, hot weather conditions are most favorable to their distribu- tion.
 "Clean quarters will help grow the chicks. Accumulated filth is the breeding ground for mites, roup and many other diseases which develop at this time. What is true, of chicks while young must still be followed out during the summer Whey need pure air, clean coops and breeders, and free dom from lice and mites."

A record of 1,20S eggs from 10 hens during the first five months of this year is reported by Mrs. W. K. Gardner, a good poultry en- thusiast of Richmond, Arkansas.
 During this same period St hens belonging to Mrs. Gardner netted her a profit of $426.00. This lady is raising white leghorns and Buff Orptingtons. She is applying meth ods of poultry raising to her flock, prescribed by H. B. Lansden, state poultry specialist. ,,

There is a movement on foot to submit this proposition as an amendment to the present constitution, by an initiative peti- tion to be circulated soon.

 One of the educational matters in which the people are intensely interested is that of \ providing adequately for the state universi- ty. At present the institution is supported by tax of 4-9 of a mill as provided by the millage bill. With the increased cost of every thing and the advance averaging 30 per cent in the salaries of the teachers, it has been demonstrated that this amount is entirely made
 quate and if the university is to be operated upon it's present plane, and certainly if it is to be inn proved as all good citizens hope it shall be done, it must have more revenue. The legislature which meets next January will be asked to increase the millage tax. Doubtless other institutions will make similar requests and this will present to the lawmakers a most serious and difficult problem for solution; how ever it must be solved or the state will go backward educationally.
 It is proposed that the name of the Arkansas State Teachers As sociation shall be changed at the next annual meeting, November H. IS, 1920, to the Arkansas Educa- tional Association. The organiza- tion is 52 years old and has reach ed a point in its career when it is planning to expand and enter upon a larger program of constructive education that it has heretofore participated in The association is engaged in a campaign to increase the school revenues of the state, to secure adequate salaries for the teachers, increased efficiency in the schools, better living conditions and proper recognition of the position of the teachers
