Detectives Are Not Supermen of Fiction

THE best detective on William J.
 A Hymns force, or for that matter William J. Flynn hlmself-how would such a mere human being look in a detective story? Pretty sick !" said Mir. Flynn, who was at the head of the United States secret service throughout the war and for many years before 1t. ''As supermen we are practically useless" he told Marian Storm of the New York Sun. I've spent months on a case, chased every clue and half-clue, and then never solved 1t. That would make fat plot for novel, wouldn't 1t? To tell the truth, I'd be shy of employ ing a super-detective. I think he might be too conspicuous.
 And then for another thing: Life's not so interesting, when you get to know it as it's written" This seemed incredible q mean from day to day." added William J. Flynn. Anyway, It's not planned so artistically. The climax is likely to come at the be- ginning of the story-or not at all.

State Banks Menaced by Innovation

nied this authority 1t resulted in many national banks surrendering their charters and converting Into state banks in order that they might avail themselves of the authority granted by the state to maintain branches.
 "This condition is deplOrable, and to add to the gravity of the situation a large national bank in one of our Missouri cities-which state does not permit branch banking-has recently announced a policy of establishing number of branch offices throughout that city.
 "It is, of course, well understood that the adoption of this policy would eventually result in the practice being extended to the rural communities. When some city bank failed to secure correspondent in a desirable town, the next step would be to establish branch bank in that community, then some other city bank, not willing to be outdone, would do likewise until in due time the state would be plastered with branch banks.
 "Mr. Speaker, during the great World war the country banks of the nation set a standard of patriotism, loyalty, and selfsacriflce that might we'll be emulated by the large financial institutions which are now striving to suck their lifeblood from them.
 Many country banks and their cus- toners, farmers and business men, are today struggling in diversity as a re- suit of their loyalty and self-sacrifice during the war, and if branch bank ing Is permitted to continue 1t will be the final blow"

The poison did not get into the circu- lation of the hog, but the snake did get into the ample digestion of the swine.
 Then the Vanderbilts acquired a vast estate In North Carolina and fenced It In. Others followed. Came state fence laws, compelling owners of property to keep their swine and cattle from roaming at large,
 The razorback, being after no fashion a thoroughbred, was barred and in his place came the very lazy, stall-fed, Berkshires.
 At about this time field workers for the two government services dis covered that snakes were beginning to increase. And within the last year, 1t is announced, they have become so dangerous that employees have been equipped with emergency kits, so ire quently are they attacked by rattlers.

"Razorbacks" Tied Up; Snakes Increase

NOW that snake bite" medicine is 4 no longer procurable. the coun- try is literally being overrun with poisonous reptiles, the biological sur vey and forestry service announce.
 The reason for this, however, has not as much to do with the scarcity of far-famed antidotes as 1t has with the disappearance of the late lamented razorback porker and the building up of fences separating various plots of plowed land and estates.
 Time was, and not so long ago, the Department of Agriculture an- nounces, when the life of a snake, even the deadly rattler was short one. The hog reigned supreme in the forest. There were no fences and his range was a wide one. His favorite dish was the live rattler And in his greed the territory over which he ranged was completely cleared of this most dangerous of American reptiles.
 For a long time scientists mar veled at the ability of the hog to conquer a poisonous snake in free for all, catch weights, open combat.
 Experiments were conducted and 1t was learned that the hog made no ef- fort at all to avoid the snake or his bite. His heavy hide and the thick coating of fat just beneath has no circulation.
 The snake struck fair but 1t had no more effect than biting a tree.

F1FVK KEARS AGO
 A young man who practiced medicine in Pennsylvania became famous and was called in consultation in many towns and cities because of bis suc- cess in the treatment of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who finally made up his mind to place some of his medi. cines before the public, and moving to Buffalo, N. r., put up what he called his vFavorite Prescription" and placed 1t with the druggists in every state.
 Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has long been recognized as tonic for diseases peculiar to womankind. After suffering pain, feeling nervous, dizzy, weak and dragged down by weak nesses of her sex-a woman is quickly restored to health by it's use. Thou sands of women testify that Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has entirely eradicated their distressing ailments.
 More recently that wonderful dis covery of Dr. Pierce's, called An-uric (for kidneys and backache) has been successfully used by many thousands who write Dr. Pierce of the benefits received that their backache, rheu- matism, and other symptoms of urio acid deposits in joints or muscles have been completely conquered by it's use.
 Send 10c to Qr. Pierce, Buffalo, NY. for trial pkg. of any of his remedies, or write for free medical advice.

According to cotton experts. the
Meade variety will sell for about two
and one-half times the price of short
cotton; it will mature as quickly as
short staple and it will yield as much
under boil weevil conditions as short

The growing of MEADE" cotton
is not an experiment, it is stated here.
1t has been grown in widely seperat-
ed sections of the Cotton Belt for
several years. In 1921, w. w. Crox-

their st. Simons Island farm, near
Brunswick, Ga.
The cotton, it is stated, was grown
from seed furnished by the U. S.
bureau of Plant Industry, under the
direct supervision of it's cotton ex-
perts and no other variety of cotton
was grown on the Island. The length
of the staple ranged from one and
a quarter to one and three-quarters
inches and graded extra choice. The
highest price paid for MEADE" long

38 to- 40. cents, the ruling price. Z.

Atlanta, Ca, January 17th-What
is considered as one of the most far
reaching achievements of the year
so far in Georgia is the inception of a
campaign to issue $75,00O,0e0 in
bonds to finance the construction of a
network of county and county seat
highways throughout the state, ac-
cording to the industrial information
service of the Georgia Railway and
Power Company, the plan being con-
ceived and definitely formulated by
safe officials, bankers land leading
business and industrial men of the
state.
Pointing to the fact that the or
ganization campaign is now under
way, the power company's informa-
ton service says that according to the
program, the $75,000,000 bonds are
to be retired in thirty years and are
to be paid for entirely by the tax on
gasoline and the Automobile license
tax. 1t is planned not to divert the
gasoline tax fund from the states
general treasury until 1925.
The plan also includes a provision
which will.reimburse the counties of
the state for the money they have
expended from their treasures to
construct the roads which will be-
come a part of this intricate and
far-ereaching system.
