TWentysiX patients and IA nurses

Martin is under arrest at the county
Jail on charge of conspiracy as
a result of information obtained
from Mrs. Hugo Hubsch, also under
arrest, regarding flogging of her
husband November 6 by a band OF
masked men. Martin has been pro-
prietor of a pressing establishment
adjoining the Hubsch drug store at
Cocoanut Grove.
Mrs. Hubsch, who is reported to
have confessed that she instigated
the flogging because her husband
had offended her, was in so serious
a mental condition last night that
she was taken to a hospital, being
released from jail on a bond Of ST.

the same hospital, suffering from
injuries received at the hands of the
whipping party. The sheriff's office
says other arrests will be made

A Little 'Preachment"

A Little "Preachment"
"They do me wrong who say l come
no more
When once I knock and fail to
find you in
For every day L stand outside your
door,
And bid you wake and rise to
fight and VIM"
NOBODY ever kpoke truer words
than these of Judge Walter Malone.
And today L am going to give you
a little ''preachment" on the subject,
for at this time there are many that
are discoura 2ed, and almost ready to
say that as they did their best and
seemed to have failed it is no use to
try any more.
Almost everybody takes stock OF
their endeavors about this time of
the year, and it is a good practice
to get an accurate knowledge of
ones accomplishments. But il one
does that and finds not any advance
it is not good business for them to
stop and turn around, unless there
is a really better way for them to go.
But there is such a tendency to
rush, and to think that everything
can be done in a hurry 1t takes
year to make fruit, or to grow corn,
or to really establish oneself in any
position. Then if there is no visible
result the question must be asked:
Am | making any roots in the
ground?" for there must be roots to
grow as we'll as leaves and sprouts.
The tree that puts out leaves and
has no root system won't do well
very long.
The fault of the age is a mad en-
deaVor
To leap the heights that were made
to climb;
BY burst of strength, or a thought
most clever,
We plan to forestall and outwit
Time.
We scorn to wait for the thing worth
having:
We want high noon at the days
dim dawn
We find no pleasure In toiling and
saving
AS our forefathers did in the old
times gone.

Drinking Water Rushed
To Louisiana ariish
In Blighting Drought

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 12.-Street
sprinklers, tank cars and tank
trucks were pressed into service to-
day to transport drinking water to
citizens of st. Bernard parish as
result of an appeal from parish
authorities and officials of the Red
Cross. st. Bernard is south of New
Orleans.
st. Bernard officials said the sit
uation was painful" but not Sc
rious. Virtually every cistern in the
parish is dry and for weeks water
has been hauled in casks on motor
trucks from the Mississippi river.
While the last general rain occurred
on September % residents of De La
CroiX island, in the southern part
of the, parish, declare no rain has
fallen in the last six months. st.
Bernard parish is Louisiana's great
est vegetable producer. The soil is
alluvial and has never required irri-
cation of any kind. At this time,
however, parts of the parish are

are trying to get grass, and we are
surprised to find that you wish to
destroy this fine field Of Bermuda.
We would rather think you could
use it profitably in association with
4 dairy or live stock business.
We have eliminated nut grass
from infested areas on the college
farm by the simple procedure of
planting winter oats and Vetch there
on in the fall and using cowpeas,
millet, soy beans, velvet beans, or
other shade crops during the sum-
mer. 1t was necessary for us to
continue this practice for about three
years in succession before the nut
grass was entirely destroyed. Shad-
ing, however, is the most effective
means you can utilize for the pur-
pose indicated. You may at the same
time utilize the land profitably for
cropping.

I have fifteen acres Of very fer

The best way to destroy Bermuda
grass is to plow it up this fall just
before severe freezes begin. Leave
the roots as much exposed as pos
sible, and, after a heavy freeze, har-
row the roots out, rake up, and burn
them. We then plant the land to
corn, velvet beans, soy beans, or
any other dense, smother crop. If
you shade this land for a year or
two, you can destroy the Bermuda
grass effectively. In this day and

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

and whose entertainments were the
talk of the town; men and women
who SpeEt money as If it grew on
trees; who lived up to the last cent
CT their income, and who now, brok-
en- in purse, in health, in heart,
seedy and forlorn, are pensioners on
our bounty or glad to take any men
ial job that will give them bread.
For the crash always comes. Lady
luck does not always smile upon
Us. Even the NEST competent men
lose their jobs through some flulle
Of chance. Every business Is sub.
Ject to a thousand hazards. Sick
ness and old age are bound to come
to all. And then the man who has
not saved part of his earnings, who
has no anchor to the windward, is
overwhelmed in the sea of disaster
and goes to the bottom.
Sometimes the people who do
not lay up anything for the future
justify their extravaganza by saying
that their children will take care
of them when they are old. But they
find out, all too late, that dependence
is bitter no matter whether they
eat their chil1ren's bread or a
strangers. Their own sons and
daughters may be willing to support
tF cir pauper parents, but there are
always the in-laWs to consider And
no one can rightly blame Mary's
husband for feeling that it is an
imposition to have to feed and clothe
Mary's father, who has spent his
own substance in riotous living.
Besides, nobody, not even ones
own children, can really respect a
parasite, and there is a world of
difference between the Difference
! that is shown father and mother
with their own pocketbooks and

and mother who have to have every

Lack Of thrift in it's ultimate re.
suit is dishonesty. The self-indulg.
ents, who will not deny themselves
to save up anything against their
day Of need, rob the thrifty. When
they are sick, we must take care of
them. When they are hungry, we
must feed them. When they are
homeless, We must give them shell.
ter. When they have eaten their
cake, we must divide our hard-earn-
ed bread with them. And the result
| is just the same as if they forced
us at the point of gun to give them
the contents of our pocketbooks.
All of this Is as much Of a bromide
truth as that thrift means prosperity
end srending means want; but we
can never take the lesson to heart
too much to know that our safety
our independence, our well-being, de

income. SO get the thrift habit, and

in the aggregate-had gone for new
cars, for restaurant dinners, for fine
clothes, for little foolish extrava-
aances ti-at were just the gratifica-
ton of the moment. His wife and
himself had never looked beyond the
pleasure of the minute until the
grim hour came in which she turned
terrified eyes upon a cold world In
which she was penniless.
Do you ever think, Mr. Man, that
if you should die that your own wife
would be in the same position to that
unfortunate woman? Do you ever
think Mrs. Woman, what would hap
pen to you if your husband should
die or get sick?
You are living up to the last cent
Of your income. You are laying up
nothing for a rainy day, and only
luck stands between you and over
whelming disaster.
And why do you run this terrible
risk?
Because YOU are crazy for an au-
tomobile, although you know you
can't afford it. Because all of your
friends live in high-priced apart
ments, so you pay more than you
should. Because you give jolly, little
restaurant parties and lose money
at card games that you cannot spare,
but you can't run with the bunch
unless you are a good spender. Be
cause you can't resist the temptation
Of pretty frocks and hats, and good
clothes, even if the bill collector
Gees kCund your steps.
Those who dance must pay the pi-
per, and It. takes all you make-and
then some-to live on, but you kid
yourself along by thinking that
youth is the time for enjoyment, and
that when you are older you will
begin to save.
You haze got it wrong. Youth is
the time to save, and unless you
form the habit of thrift when you
are young you will never save at all.
Furthermore, youth is just of itself
happiness enough. 1t does not need
anything to enhance the mere joy
of living. You do not need a feast
when your appetite is keen, nor
bought pleasures when you are
bLbbling over with high spirits and
laugh just because it is so good to
be alive. 1t is age that needs all
the consultations that money can
buy it.
There is no other weakness in hui
man nature so inexplicable as that
which makes it risk it's own safety,
and that of its beloved, for the sake
Of a moments qualification. No, it
is even worse than that. Men and
women deliberately purchase an
hours l leasure with years Of mis-
cry.
For there is nobody so ignorant,
nobody such a dolt, as not to know
that the waster and the spender is
bound to come to poverty and want
in the end.
Life screams it's warning to us
from every corner. There is not
one of us who could not organize a
