ADVENTURES OF
THE TWINS
~ OLIVE RosERTs BARTON
RLowY BALLOON Use

Oh, Oh! cried Nancy pointing after
the sack which was swimming rapidly
away.
There goes the Fairy Queens bag
OF gold. Nick, wen have to go after
it."
But how can it swim ?''Nyick wanted
to know. scarcely believing his eyes.
He had seen all sorts OF bags with all
sorts of things in them. but never one
with fins outside.
It's the gnomes.' said Nancy. "They
know that we have discovered their
gold and they have given the bag the
fins-magical ones-so it can swim
away from US. If we hurry, we may
catch it,"
After the hurrying sack went the
Twins in their magical Green Shoes,
which were just as good for swimming
with as magical fins any day.
And then, something still stranger
happened. The bag began to swell
up until the children were sure it was
going to burst. and the more it swelled
the nearer it got to the top of the
water.
'Wh-what's going to happen? % gasp
ed Nancy. Where's 1t going now?"
BY this time the queer looking sack
was quite on top of the water, so up
popped the heads of the Twins right
after it. Overhead. lsea-guIs were
circling about happily. white clouds
were loafing comfortably in the blue
alky, and jolly old Mr.. sun was laugh
ing down at them. Not far away two
porpoises were turning 0simersaults in
the water and blowing as loud as two
steam whistles. :?
But the next thing that happened
was strangest of all The sack lifted
itself completely out of the water by
its fins (Which now looked more like
Wings and away it flew through the
air.
Goodness" cried Nick. 1T isn't
sack at all, Nancy. It's got eyes,
Just then one of the gulls called
down. Why hello there, Blowy Bal
loon Fish! Out for an airing?"

Common Sense Ways to
Keep Well
BY DR.. r. II. BISHOP
EARLY TUBERCULOSIS

Tuberculosis comes into almost ev-
eryone's life at some time. Few house
holds escape it entirely. Perhaps, no
immediate member of your family has
fallen a victim to this dread disease,
but the fact that all of US have the
germs of tuberculosis in our bodies
waiting until sometime when our sys-
TENS are weakened. should give US
pause.
eThe great white plague of the
rorth," as Oliver Wendell Holmes once
ca.,ed this disease. kills approximately
10000 persons each year in the Unit
Ell states. Every third person between
Is and so dies of it, or every fourth
person between 20 and 40. 1t disables
and renders useless those who have il,
AID often beggars of their families. 1t
ccsts in loss of life and labos' in the
III tied States, 500 million dollars.
These facts should make 4 person
having suspicious sympt on1s stop and
consider. tuberculosis, If caught in
it's early stages, can be cured, but left
to develop, it is invincible.
The person having early tuberculo-
sis, may not suspect it or even know
that he is i'll. There are certain signs,
however, which should prompt the in
teIligent person to seek expert exami-
nation.
These signs are:
1. WEAKNESS out of proportion tc
the days work, especially when it ap-
pears in person usually energetic and
active.
2. Cough. tuberculosis may exist
and become far advanced without
cough or the cough may not be more
than a slight tendency to clear the
throat Any cough or necessity for
clearing the throat frequently that
lasts more than two or three weeks,
should be looked upon with suspicion.
8. Loss of appetite or a finicky APP
petite.
4. Loss Of weight not otherwise ac-
counted for.
5. Slight fever in the afternoon.
6. Shortness of breath especially on
slight exertion. may often be an early
symptom.
Z. Continued hoarseness or loss of
voice should have immediate attention.
8. Digestive disturbances always
tuberculosis.
9. Blood in the spit rarely occurs in
any other condition than that Of tu-
Even slightly streaked spit
should cause the patient to.seek medi- |
cal advice.

FEET GROW ON
"WHISKKERS"

When DR.. H. o. Schmidt Jensen, a
Danish scientist, neglected to feed
some Phasmid. or leaf and stick in
sects. they took to eating each other,
Some escaped with only the ends Of
their feelers bitten off, and. as is GUS
tomary with most animals Of this kind,
they proceeded to regenerate the mu-
tilated organs.
But instead of new feeler ends, reg
ular feet appeared on the stumps. The
scientist then took several OF abe in
sects and clipped off the ends of their
feelers with the same result. He
could not, however. cause feet to grow
on both feelers Of the same animal.
but this experiment has been success
fully performed by NJ L. Cuenot and
reported recently to the Academy Of
Sciences in Paris.
The progress of regenerating lost
parts is common enough throughout
a greater part OF the animal kingdom:
in fact. to a certain degree, It is a uni
versaI Characteristic OF living organ
isrns.
The taiI-end Of a worm grows a new
head" and the head-end new tail
Shake hands vigorously with a lobster
and he will leave you the hand and
get himself new one.
How the process Is accomplished and
what are the determining physioIog-
ical factors remain a mystery after
much prolonged research.
The generation of an organ out OF
place. as in the case Of the Phasmid's
feet. is an even greater mystery.

Secure Leases and
 Sink q Test We'll

At a meeting held in the Elks Home yesterday afternoon at which was present w. A. Field, represent ing the Southwestern Leasing Com pany, it was decided to put on foot a movement to drill for oil in the vicinity of Marianna. For more than year there has been desultory interest in the oil game here, and one or two organizations have been formed for the purposes of secur- ing leases and making contracts for sinking wells, but. so far nothing definite has been done. At yester- days conference, presided over by Chas. Mckee, president of the Lee County National Bank, 8 committee composed of c. E. Yancey. J. M. Hewitt, R. L. Hope, R. L. Nixon, M. H. Ford, J. R. FeIton and J. C.. Adams, was appointed to confer with small and large land owners in this section and arrange for a general meeting at which time 1t Is proposed to get together, sign up leases, place the leases in the hands of trustee or trustees and then open negotiations with re- sponsible companies for sinking one or more test wells. Mr. Fields said Prof. Branner, famous geologist, be- lieves there is oil in Eastern Arkan- sas, and he was willing to guarantee the sinking of a well if enough leases are secured. The decision of those at the conference yesterday was to secure from ten to fifteen thousand acres iu leases, then of- fer them in two units to the com panies making the best propositions. It is stated several big oil com panies have their eyes on this sec tion, but nothing will be done with out cooperation upon the part of the citizens and land owners in se- curing leases.
 Actual work has been started on the erection of the derrick near Moro and within a short time the Jennings Company will be ready to start drilling. It is, of course, hoped oil will be found, but in order to give this field a thorough test more than one well should be sunk. There may not be oil near Moro and there may be oil near Marianna. Until actual tests are made nobody knows. For a very small outlay enough acreage can be leased to justify reputable companies risLzing their money in sinking wells in this field.

 Get Fifth Regiment Band

ernment and the total amount monthly necessary to employ the services of competent director. Joe Retanio, famous band leader, formerly sof Marianna, known all over the state. is anxious to head the regimental band in Marianna. His services can be secured on terms that can very easily be met. Joe made big reputation when he was director of a regimental band at Camp Pike and also at Camp Beauregard. It is estimated that it will not take more than $60 a month from the citizens to guaran- tee the location of this big musical organization here. It will mean more to the city than the two companies of national guards re- gently formed
 If the people of Marianna want the regimental band they will have to act quickly.
