Druggist Values the Nash
Agency Very Highly
WOULDN'T TAKE $500 FOR 1T!

The leading druggist of Manila,
Arkansas is selling so much Nash's
Group and Pneumonia Salve that he
values his selling agency at $500.
Mr.. Stevens made this remark to q
representative of Nash Brothers, the
manufacturing druggists. He bought
1000 bottles q gross) as his first order
and soon ordered 72O (5 gross) more.
He sold 10S bottles in one day.
Nash's Group and Pneumonia Salve
is positively z blessing to all who
use it. No other household remedy
seems to have as much value. Nor is
it a patent medicine or secret nostrum.
On the other hand it is made Of the
old fashioned things we have all used
In the treatment Of colds, sore throat,
Group and pneumonia for years. AS it
is applied externally it can be, used
freely without interfering with the
doctors medicine. Sold at 30 cents
and 10 cents a bottle by the City Drug
Store, Arcadia.

Read what the Shreveport Journal Jan. IS. saws:

the gas pressure decreased, and was
practically abandoned when oil went
to 35 cents.
Bailey No. 2, close by, came in pro-
ducing l,20O barrels, and flowed three
years, with the same fate. Altogether
five wells were drilled, at that time
proving the section a profitable pro-
ducing one.
Later the lease was taken over by
the Church, Burton & Pfeiffer Syndi-
cate, which brought Bailey No. back
last October producing 250 barrels.
The Belding Oil Cooperation was or
ganized to wildcat in Bull Bayou. It's
roster Of charter members contains the
names Of some of The most influential
and prominent men in Shreveport.
Instead Of wildcatting, however, the
directors of the corporation believed
that more money could be made for
stockholders in the rehabilitation of
abandoned territory in the Caddo field,
which belief has been justified. Caddo
has been one Of the most consistent
producing fields in the United States
The lure Of newer and Shower fields
frequently has drawn seasoned oil men
away from their properties in Caddo
only to return later to the old meal
ticket when they had dumped their
winnings in another field.
II was on this theory that the Bed,
ing Corporation took advantage of the
opportunity to buy the Bailey Caldwell
lease with the intention Of bringing it
back to production.

SEEDING GLOVER IN ORCHARD
Trees Given Longer Lease 81 Life
Than Where Clean Cultivation
10 praetieed.

The Iowa experiment station In the
orchards which It manages makes It a
practice to seed clover between the
rows Of trees. Trees which are han.
died In this way live longer than trees
which are given clean cultivation. Ap-
parently clean cultivation causes the
trees to grow longer In the falD and
makes them more susceptible to win,
ter damage. Trees which have clover
growing between the rows are decid.
edly more productive than the trees
which are In blue grass sod. The trees
In blue grass sod seem to stand the
winters fairly we'll, but grow very
slowly. The best method Of tillage
seems to be to seed the space between
the trees to clover and then whenever
blue grass crowds out the clover to
plow up and seed to clover again.

them scrape the incrusted scales with
a knife and a sort Of yellowish oily.
Ike liquid will ooze out. Scales are
blown from tree to tree, carried by
birds, and sometimes large insects
even carry them.
This scale is little different from
Others. Instead Of going through the
winter in the egg stage Ike the others
this scale passes the winter about half
grown, attached to the bark. You can
Just barely see the little scales. Then
In the spring when the sap begins to
run the scale insects begin to grow
and the males come from under the
male scales a little later and mate with
the females. Then the males de and
the females keep on growing.
A month or 50 later the females be-
gin to produce young. They don't lay
eggs, but actually produce living
young. a
The insect passes through its vari.
GUS stages In growth and finally after
4 month or a little more from birth
the females begin producing young.
There may be several generations every
summer, so you can see why the insect
spreads and increases so rapidly. Luck
lily they are not hard to control.
Llme-sulphur Is the best spray. Where
the scale is bad they spray twice for
It, first as soon as the leaves fall and
again as soon as the buds begin to,
swell in the spring. If one sprays
when the buds are too far along 1t
doesn't do much good because those
little yellow crawling insects can hide
under the lifting bud scales.

FOR STARVING TOTS,

Every dollar given by an American

other purpose.
This statement has been made pub.
nc recently by the Louisiana Commit.
tee OF the European Relief Council,
winch has Its headquarters in the Az.
soclat'on Of Commerce building, New
Orleans. 1t was made at the request
OF Herbert Hoover, who is heading
the national campaign to raise funds
10 feed S,SOo,O00 little ones In Central
and Eastern Europe. The campaign is
being financed entirely out, Of the
pockets Of public-spirited citizens
For instance, in one city, where ad.
Vertlsements are being published In
the newspapers by the local commit.
tee, number Of leading men Of the
community are paying for them. Like
wise, such clerical work as Is neces.
sary is being paid for In this way al.
though most Of the workers in the
campaign are giving their services
voluntarily.
The expenses of transportation and
distribution Of the food after It is
bought will be borne by the American
Relief Administration, the organiza.
ton Of which Herbert Hoover is the
head, in conjunction with the govern.
ments Of the stricken nations, which !
are appropriating 81 for every 81
given in America for relief,
Thus, every man or woman who
gives $40 to save q life-the sum that
will keep one child In Europe alive
until The next harvest is gathered
will have the satisfaction Of knowing
that his money will do exactly that,
1t will buy food, nothing else.
