Wrong to Think Small
Town Not Up to Date

Many city people labor under the de-
fusion that rural communities are not
up" on the latest styles, labor-saving
appliances, novelties, etc., the Path
finder Magazine remarks. The truth
of the matter Is that the rural house
wife now reads all about the latest
styles In the fashion magazines; with
true feminine instinct she notes the
dress of visitors and parties of auto
lists passing through the town. Extend
ing the franchise to women has made
them full-fedged citizens. The COM
munity store has to keep abreast Of the
times. 1t can no longer pass on old
dress models on the knowing woman.
The same thing applies to other mer-
chandise. Nowadays the farmer Is too
wary to have old stuff passed of on
him; he wants the newest and the
best.
The radio Is big factor in knitting
the rural community and the city In
closer bonds Of friendship and mutual
places the country resident on a par
with the most favored citizen In regard
to recreation and general culture.
These and other factors are helping
eradicate once and for all the far
fetched notion which once malfgned
the country man. In effect, the coun-
try is one Ingredient, the city another;
each Is indispensable and together they
make a perfect combination.

Live Stock Facts

The loss of little pigs will mean the
loss of big profits.
The wise stockman recognizes that
careful attention to little details pays
well In the end.
Too much skim milk or too much thin
slop tends to produce "pot-bellied"
type of pig. Middllngs should not
make up too much of the ration for
either the SOW or the pigs for 1t causes

Pure breds of good quality do bet
ter in the feed lot than scrubs or COM
mon stock.
1t is poor economy to stint the feed
Ing of the sucking SOW. The cheapest
gains are made by the pig In feeding
the SOW literally.
A canvass OF live stock feeders over
the entire country shows that pure
breds make about 40 per cent more
product for their owners than scrubs

Going to Waste

1.-THE sports Of other days don't ap-
peal to the youths Of today" declared
an elderly resident. "Horse chestnuts
are ripe and popping out Of their prick
ly shells, but l haven't seen a single
boy whirling strings with two of these
nuts tied to the ends That used to be
my finest fall frolic. We'd whirl the
strings and then let go, and the device
would wind around telephone or light
wires All the kids enjoyed the sport.
And to such degree that the coppers
on the beats used to chase us .merrily
when We became over-zealous in clut-
tering up the wires. But the boys Of
today don't know this pleasure. And
1t seems shame for all the fine horse
chestnuts to go to waste."-Detroir

Plant More Trees

Most cities and even some small
towns, especially new towns, are apt
TO be pathetically treeless, and towns
do need trees more and more as their
population increases, Jane Leslie Kilt
writes in the Detroit Free Press.
Have you ever thought about the
walls of the factories of your town?
They looked rather well in the Pen
nell war posters, but some hot June
day as you walk down a street skirted
walls, don't they seem oppressive?
Don't you think that If the same walls
were blanketed with green they would
be more restful and more beautiful?

The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
1t is not a stimulant and is taken in

Information on Drying
Coils That Are Damp

Use no kind Of binder on radio
tuning coils IL you make them your
self. The usual insulating paint OF
varnlsh or shellac will add to the dis
tributed capacity of your coils and
make them tune broadly or 1t may
even cause leakage losses that will be
greater than that caused by moisture
absorption Of the coils when left dry.
If the coils are kept in a protected
position, not near open windows. they
will not gather much moisture
II your coils do get damp you can
dry them out by placing turned-or
electric drop light near them Just
take the electric lamp on cord and
put 1t inside the cabinet, near the
coils and close the lid OF the cabinet
ano leave 1t FOR IN baur or so.

 Crime Must Stop

Chicago, Nov. 14.-Mayor Dever's dictum that Chicago must be rid of gunmen was followed today by an order from Morgan A. Collins, su- perintendent of police, that all per sons carrying weapons are to be ar- rested.
 The mayors order resulted from the killing of Dion O'Banion. whose rise to the leadership of gangsters was accompanied by political power.
 But the mayor was particularly moved to action by the statement of Louis Altere. probably O'Banion's closest friend, who had much to do with the direction of O'Banion's fu- neral this morning, that he would be willing to shoot 1t out" with O'Banion's slayers.

MURDERS FOUR, THEN TAKES HIS OWN LIFE Memphis, Tenn, Cripple Turns Home into
 Shambles

 persons were shot and killed here last night by Henry Weber, crippled barber, who then killed himself.
 The victims of Weber's murderous rage were his wife, Mrs. Bessie
 Weber. Mir. and Mrs. F.. A. shader and Mrs. Thomas Alexander. The shooting occurred at the Weber home in the eastern section of the city.
 Weber and his wife quarrelled Sunday and he had not been home since. according to information given police by neighborS The man pur- chased new rife yesterday and last night went to his home, carrying the weapon.
 Shader, employe of a dental firm, who lives in a wing of the house where the Webers make their home, was the first person the barber met. He shot Shader through the head and then, throwing fresh shell
 
 the house. When he emerged few moments later the place was a shambles. Mrs. Thomas Alexander, a bride of only few months was visiting Mrs Weber. Her cries did not save her. In each case Weber shot his victim through the head and all died within a few minutes, according to the police.
 The barber left his house and walked to his barber shop, about three blocks away, there he fired shot into his brain.
 Weber left two notes, according to police. Both indicated that he had planned to kill himself and his wife, but made no mention of any others slated for death.
 Weber came to Memphis from Elkton. Ky, according to police. flo

CHLORINE TREATMENT
Specially Made Cream With Healing Properties of Gas is Reported at Meeting of Doctors.

New Haven, Nov. 14--Chlortne gas treatment for colds in the head will be made easily attainable, it was stated at a meeting of the eye, ear, nose and throat specialists of Con- necticut in convention held in Dwight hall, at Yale yesterday after non. A paper was read by c. c. Spalding, formerly lecturer on phar- macy at the medical school in which he told of perfection of a cream which he said, was an improvement on the present chlorine gas treat ment. The cream contains a chem teal in stable form which gradually liberates chlorine in a non-irritating form and in sufficient quantity to kill all non-sporing bacteria tn the nose.
 Mir. Spalding said that 1t was not always possible for cold sufferers 70 obtain the services Of a physician who has the equipment to give chlorine gas treatment, and the ef- fort in laboratories has been to make a nasal cream which would make treatment available at an intlnites- imal cost.
