Recently the Cor rdova Daily Times carried an editorial explaining the need of advertising this section of Alaska.
 We heartily agree with the Times in this respect.
 Nowhere can ehe hunter find bet ter big game country, the Kenai benin sula not excepted, than in the region immediately adjacent to Mccarthy. Here he cal secure competent guides who will take him into the very heart of the m ountains and keep him com pany thru experiences that could not be equaled in any part of the country Here he would find game that could and does test the skilland ingenuityof the best sportsmen.

Upon his return home he would be able to relate thril- ling experiences encountered in the per- suit of sheep across glaciers and of the wariness of the brown bear. If he were fond of fshinng he could relate tales of trout and erayling that would make his brother Nimrods hang their heads and never speak of their three-pound stuffed trophy again.

TURNER COUNTY PLAN
POPULAR IN SOUTH
Diversification Program of Geor-
gia County Attracts Nation
Wide Attention

ATLANA, June 3O,---If Turner
county, one of the average rural
counties down in the wiregrass sec
ton of Georgia, can pull out Of the
hole the bob weevil has put South
ern agriculture in with the cow,
hog and hen, Georgia agriculturists
assert, it stands to reason that
other counties in Georgia and in
other states can profit by adopting
or at least giving the Turner coun-
ty program a try-out.
Briefly, the program was to use
pure bred stock where possible, but
by all means good stock; every farm
in the country to produce for mar
ket all the milk, butter and cream,
chickens and eggs possible; to pro-
due all the food for family and
animals, and the result is that this
county is attracting nationwide at
tention.
The county is in a phenomenally
prosperous condition considering
the plight in which the boil weevil
put it two or three years ago. The
creamery at Ashburn, the county
seat, the largest town, and with a
population of only $500 is doing a
tremendous. business with good pro
fits to itself and to the farmers fur
nishing the cream.
Of course the dairy products and
hogs are marketed on the coopera-
tive plan, the plan which has proved
very profitable to farmers in many
sections of the county, and the dali
ry products are marketed through
the creamery, and they propose to
increase cream production 20 10O,-
600 month during 1923.
The 1928 program also includes
the increase of the members of the
poultry, pig and canning clubs; to
increase the membership of the
farm 'burau organization; to have
a permanent pasture on every
farm; increase acreage production
twenty-five per cent; to establish
good schools throughout the coun-
try, and to place two hundred new
farm families in the county.
Other Georgia counties, notably
Butts and Wilkes counties, have
adopted the COW, hog and hen pro-
gram, and it IS believed, in time,
that every Georgia count will in
augurate a program of diversified
crops which will add millions to the
wealth of the state.

DANGER SIGNALS
OF INDIGESTION
The Disease That Strikes Like
Lightning

Beware of indigestion-the dis.
ease that kills more people and
kills them quicker than any other
This warning, by physicians, is par
ticularly applicable this season of
the year, when your system '1ets
down" in tone and vigor with the
first approach of warm weather.
What are the warnings that ma
ture gives YOU of the approach of
Indigestion? The medical books tell
US: 1. Gas, which means that your
food is fermenting instead of di-
costing. 2. A feeling of fuIlness or
oppression in the region of the stom-
ach after eating. This means that
the gas has ballooned your stom-
ach and is pressing up against your
heart and lungs. 8. A dull, lazy
feeling, which means that you are
not getting the nourishment from
what you are eating. A. Restlessness,
undressing sleep, which means
that the poisons of Indigestion are
disturbing your brain and nerves.
5. Sometimes, pain and fluttering
around the heart, though this symp-
tom may com later.
Don't take chances VITA indiges-
tion-you are too apt to lose. If you
have had any of the symptoms men
toned above, get your digestive
organs to work at once with Dan
Max, the greatest prescription that
was ever written for a digestive
tonic. Dan-Nax immediately aids and
assists every one of your digest
i've organs, including the stomach,
liver and DO els. Dan-Nax makes
your digestion perfect and com
plete." You feel its helpful effect
from the yerv first dose. Get bot
tie of Dan-Nax today at any drug
store. Dan-Nax is so much superior
to any other remedy for indigestion
that the manufacturers have in
structed every druggist to refund
the price if you do not get relief
so it costs you nothing if you are
not delighted with results. Delay
might be dangerous, get Dan-NaX
