Some People Think They Cant They Can if They Take This

Don't forget the pleasure of eat ing new vegetables such as pota- toes, peas and cabbage just because you are afraid of painful after re- suits. Get your system in order, particularly the bowels, then eat anything.
 In case of collie or diarrhoea al- ways rely npon Nash's Diarrhoea Mixture. It will be found highly beneficial-usually one dose will bring immediate relief. The sooth- ing, healing effect is felt almost in stantly and thereafter you will keep a bottle of this mixture which, by the way, is recommended by many physicians, in the house at all times.

(The Ice Industry.)


 Editors Note:-In recent ex- cellent program arranged by the Annston, Ala, Rotarians, was skit in which Bob" the ice driver, gave his boss (Don Hancock) some of his experiences along the route. This stunt brought down the house, for "Bob's" experience was per meated with things that often do happen to the ice driver, and when told in his own language, by Ro- tarian Jack Stillwell, over an imagi- nary telephone, it produced roar after roar of laughter. Director J. w. Mallory sends the story in full.l
 The telephone rings:
 Bob-"Hello, is dat .444?"
 MT. Hancock-"Yes, this is 444."
 Bob-"Mr. Hancock, dis is Bob. Dus you wants me-"
 Mir. Hancock-"Wha in the world is the matter with you, Bob? You are three hours behind your sched- ule, and your customers are raising sand. You must get more speed in your work"
 Bob-"Yessah, I knows hit, Mir. Hancock, but just listen to my hard luck l run into today. Yassah, l got out at five o'clock dis morning, but 1 lost my tap, and my wheel run off and down l cum. l got dat fix ed and stopped at Miss Jones and she cleans her 'frigerator on Mun- day, an she wuz sick, an she say: Bob, you scrub it fer me- so had to take out everything and scrub hit from top to bottom fore she would let me put de ice in.
 Den l went to Miss Wilson's and she tux fifty pounds of ice, an she had me to come upstairs and change de furniture and rugs uv two rooms and take two chairs an three rugs to de barn. Dat takes time, Mir. Hancock, you know how dey make an ice driver do.
 Den 1 went to Miss Browns an she wuz out of town, but bless your heart, Mir Brown was there, and he was sho' one sick man. MT. Brown flew to my neck, and sez, Bob, you'se de best piece of news in de world. De house wuz torn up, and Mr. Brown looked awful. He must have been full of extract of wood alcohol. He sed Miss Brown was coming home at eleven o'clock, so had to put him to bed, put cracked ice on his head, and stir about to clean up de house fore Miss Brown gifts home, an it wuz nine o'clock den.
 ''Mr. Brown sho' wuz sick. Den 1 went to Miss Cruse, an Lordy, her stove pipe had fell, and the kitchen wuz full of smoke an smut-an' dats where I gets my breakfast, Mir. Hancock, so l jes had to fix dat stove. An it was 50 hot dat I burnt my hands.

ALL A SIMPLE MANI KNEW
sut His cheery cresting Caused Many To Take More Hopeful View
 of Life.

Used to have a man down our way that some folks called short" in his upper story. We never looked for him to say a sensible thing or do one. He couldn't if he tried with all bis might. He was the neighborhood fool, says a writer in Farm Life.
 But one thing that man did know. and that was that God never made a day that was not all right. Whether it rained or showed or blew or shone, 1t was a fine day with him. Meet him anywhere and you would never catch him without smile on his face and cheery. Nice day" on his lips.
 And this man who was short in the upper story did more to make folks feel good inside of them and inspire them to look on the bright side of fife than any other farmer in ths neighborhood. We all went on after we had met him in the road with warmer feeling in our hearts, think ing: Now, maybe 1t really is better day than I had thought it was"
 No man could have spoken a great CT truth than our good old friend of the cheery smile and the optimistic thought Edward Everett, the great orator, went far across the country once to speak at the dedication of a great public institution. It was . stormy day and people did not look very happy as they stood around un- der their dripping umbrellas. Watch ing the expression on their faces, Mir. Everett said with s big smile all over his face: "Ihis is a fine day. God made 1t, and He never made a day that was not just the best He could make it."
 Sometimes 1t seems to us that things in this old world of ours are pretty badly mixed up these days It is quite fashionable to say: We never saw anything like this" Things might be q great deal worse with us than they are. And everything is coming out sii right, but you and must bring them out right, or they never will bs right.
 All our friend knew was that all the days are simply nne. He could not have known a greater thing.

WEEKLY CROP REPORT

The northwest crop prospects at
present are favorable and above the
average for this time of year. There
are exceptions, such as some districts
in Central Montana, which are in need
OF moisture. During the past week
the weather has been quite cold. This
has held back the top growth of the
grain, but should develop strong
roots. In the northern sections Of
North Dakota and Montana, from 20
to 40 per cent of the wheat remains to
be seeded, as the season there is con
siderably behind the southern terri
tory. There has been a scarcity Of
feed in western North Dakota and
eastern Montana. A considerable por-
ton of the crop there has been stub
bled in.
