DEBT OF THE NATION
REDUCED IN SEPT
Debt Is Now $237,415,ss5 Less
$24,0e7,3 1856, 900
Than 1t Has Been-Total Debt

Washington, Oct. 3.-The nations
gross debt was reduced by S237,-
315,995 in September, according to
figures made public by the treasury
department.
Most of the reduction occurred in
the floating debt or issues of certi-
ficates of Indebtedness. Outstanding
certificates now aggregate $2,347,-
791, 900, which is included in the
total gross debt of $24,0S7,356,000.
At the time of the income and
profits tax payment, Septmber Is,
nearly s65O,OOO,OOO in certificates
of Indebtedness matured. Simulta-
neously, a new issue of S450,000,-
900 was offered. Tax payments pro-
vided funds to meet the differences
in certificate issues.
Government receipts for the
month totalled S911, 100000 while
expenses fell below $500,000,000.
This difference which was larger
than usual was explained as due to
decline in the demands for funds
from the railroads under guarantee
provisions of the transportation act.
Officials said, however, that the
same ratio between receipts and ex-
penditures probably would not be
maintained next month. They expect
the railroads to come in for larger
sums, as they will have made a final
accounting of profits and losses for
the six months over which their earn
ing were guaranteed by railroad
law.
As soon as this accounting has
been made, the interstate commerce
commission will pass upon the claims
and the treasury will then be called
upon to make final settlement.
Treasury officials would not esti-
mate today the amount which they
expect to be paid out under the
guarantee provisions.

subject, and has stood behind him
in his efforts.
Wilt Causes Large Loss
As an authority on wilt. DR.. Wat
son says this disease causes the larg-
est loss of any other disease to the
cotton crop of the United States.
With the addition Of the boil wLevil,
one would expect this loss to be in
creased very materially. The gov
ernment itself officially says that on
ly wilt resistant varieties of cotton,
combined with rotation of crops, af-
ford any measure of control of this
disease. In simple terms, wilt is
soil fungus, which propogates in the
water channels of the cotton plant,
stopping them and preventing the
plant obtaining it's supply of mois-
ture. Thus it willis and dies of lack
of water. The wilt resistant plant is
immune to these organisms. How
ever, heretofore it has been slow
maturing plant and not so heavy
producer as other varities. DR.. Wat
son believes his Dixie Triumph has
overcome both of these objections.
DR.. Watson is engaged now in the
production of a wilt resistant long
staple variety, which also will meet
boil weevil conditions. He has made
encouraging headway but is not yet
ready to announce it's creation. He is
also :,,oing some other work in in
'creasing the yield of the wiltless
variety. He is also breeding Dixie
Cook wiltless boil weevil variety.
This is the first year DR.. Watson
will permit any of the seed of his
Dixie Triumph variety to be put in
to the market. He will have about
10000 pounds which he proposes to
dispose of possibly thruout the cot
ton growing belt. However, at this
stage of the game, he is more inter-
ested in the production of his vari-
eties than in any seed business.
The production Of this variety in
Florence county, adds another
achievement in the cotton world to
her record. Attesting the fame of
Florence county as a cotton produc-
ing section, within the past two
months, three different parties from
the far Western and Southern
states have come here to see first
hand how Florence makes cotton.
These three parties combine ESQ
men. A fourth party is forming now
to bring $50 more farmers.

WILL RECOGNIZE
GOVERNMENT OF
MEXICO SHORTLY

Washington, Oct. 2.-The exist
ing government in Mexico his DEM
onstrated its stability and will be
recognized by President Wilson
within the next few days, possibly
tomorrow, it was. learned today. 1t
is understood that the state depart
ment has recommended such a
course.
Great Britain, it was learned, will
receive Senor Covarruvias, Mexi-
can ambassador to that country, to-
morrow. France, Italy and Japan
have never withheld recognition.
With recognition of the La Huerta
government, Iglic1o Calderon, the
present high commissioner for Mexi-
CO, will automatically become am
bassador.
When Gen. Obregon, president
elect of Mexico, takes office Decem-
Der l, he will thereon fall heir TO
government recognition throughout
the world. American oil interests
with extensive holdings in Mexico
have been active among the advo-
Gates of recognition of this govern
ment.
To Adjust Claims
The first important move that
General obregon proposes to make,
it was leaned today, will be the ap-
pointment of an international claim
commission, which will adjust all
claims held by foreign nations
against Mexico as the result of the
past eight years. turmoil.
1t will also settle all debts incur
red by the various Mexican govern
ments.

Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home,
but it beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands of housewives have found
that they can save two-thirds of the
money usually spent for cough prepara-
tions, by using the well-known old recipe
for making cough syrup at home. 1t
is simple and cheap but it has no equal
for prompt results. 1t takes right hold
of q cough and gives immediate relief,
usually stopping an ordinary cough in
"a hours or less.
7 Get 21s ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain granulated sugar syrup to
make full pint. If you prefer, use
clarified molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. Either way, it
tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts
family long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loos-
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the membranes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
hoarseness or bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, known the world over for
its healing effect on the membranes.
Avoid Disappointment by asking your
druggist for "21s ounces of Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept anything
else. Guaranteed to give absolute salts

DON'T FORGET
THE OLD HORSE
Animals Should Have Some Consider
alton in Hot Weather and Few
Common Sense Rules Have
Baan Laid Down.

What few horses there are left are
entitled to consideration these not
days. Some good advice for hot wealth

Horse Relief association, and the foi-
lowing hot weather rules are taken
from their book:
Load lightly, and drive slowly.
Stop in the shade if possible.
A sponge on top of the head, or
even a. cloth, is good if kept wet. Ii
dry it is worse than nothing.
Water your horse as often as pos
sible. So long as horse is working,
water in small quantities will not hurt
him. But let him drink only re-"
swallows if he is going to stand still.
When he comes in after WORK,
sponge off the harness marks and
sweat, his eyes, his nose and mouth,
and the dock Wash his feet but not
his legs.
If the thermometer is rs degrees or
higher, wipe him all over with damp
sponge, using vinegar water If pos
sible. Do not wash the horse al
night
Saturday night, give a bran mash,
Iukewarm. and add d Tablespoonful OF
saltpetre.
Watch your horse If he stops
sweating suddenly, Or if he breathes
short and quick, or if his ears droop
or if he stands with his legs braced
sideway, he is in danger OF a heat
or sun stroke and needs attention at
once.
If the horse is overcome by heat
get him into the shade, remove har
ness and bride, wash out his mouth
sponge him all over, shower his legs
and give him two ounces or aromatic
spirits Of ammonia, or two ouEces OF
sweet spirits of nitre, in a pint OF
water; or give him a pint of coffee
warm. Cool his head at once USING
cold water, or, if necessary, chopped
! ice, wrapped in a cloth.
! If the horse is Off his feed. try him
with two quarts of oats mixed with
bran, and q little water; and add a
little salt or sugar. Or give him oat
meal Cruel or barley water to drink.
! Clean your horse at night, SO that
