Opinion Given By
Judge Caruthers
Well Known Georgia Jurist Declares He Was Re
ieved of Stomach Trouble BY Taking DR..
Thacher's Liver and Blood Syrup

When a man occupying judicial
position expresses an opinion it is
bound to be received with respectful
consideration. And when that opin-
ion is based on his own personal
experience it must carry conviction
that nothing can disturb.
The opinion of Judge Paul
Caruthers, of Ringgold, Ga, re-
garding DR.. Thacher's Liver and
Blood Syrup can rightly be infer
red from the concise statement writ
ten by him relating his exper-
ience with the well known prepara-

THE MYSTIC IS
THRILLING FILM
FOR TOMORROW

Newspaper and police crusades
throughout the country against fake
mediums and crooked clairvoyants
recently resulted in Director Tod
Browning writing thrilling film
expose of crooks Of this variety.
Browning has filmed his story as
"The Mystic, o Metro-Goldwyn-
Mayer production to be shown at
the Palace starting tomorrow, and
it is one Of the most thrilling crook
plays that has ever been flashed on
motion picture screen.
The picture is both warning and
high h-class entertainment, and shows
how c1tooko5 mediums are often
linked with bands Of swindlers who
take advantage Of the grief of
wealthy persons seeking solace by
means Of communication with the
departed dead.
The locales of the story are Hun
gary and New York and Aileen
Pringle and Conway Tearle are seen
in the leading roles. They are
supported by cast which includes
Mitchell Lewis, Robert Ober, Stan
ton Heck, Gladys Hulette, David
Terrence and Dewitt Jennings.
"The Mystic' was scenraized by
Waldemar Young, photographed by
Ira Morgan and titled by Joseph
Farnham. Cedric Gibbons and Her
vey Libbert were the art directors.

VALLEYS WATER SUPPLY WILL
BE CUT OFF FIVE DAYS WHILE
CANALS ARE BEING INSPECTED

Imperial Valleys water supply
will be cut off for a period of fiEs
days this month, according to an
nouncement by NJ. j. Dowd, general
uperintendent of the Imperial r.
rigation district
The intake at Hanlon s Heading
will be closed at midnight, Decem-
Der II and will not be opened until
the night of December. 10, Mr.. Dowd
said. The object of the interruption
in the water service is The 1..spec-
ton and repair of the main wooden
structures in the large canals.
Water users in the southern end
of the valley will be without sup
ply from December Is to 20, it is
expected, and north end users will
be notified that from December 16
to 81, there will be no water.
Must Plan Irrigation
The dates for the cut off of wa
ter were suggested following inter
NICWo WIN HILL VI lilC ldl Sc NtSC-
table growers of the valley, and
have been set to avoid all inconveni-
ence possible. 1t is believed that
adequate notice is being given users
so that they can arrange for irriga-
tion of their crops before the cut
off is made.
The Imperial Irrigation system
differs from most others in that
water is running the year round
where in most projects there are
several months when the bitches are
not in use, thus permitting all need
ed repairs. The Yuma canals are
dry two days each week while La
guna dam is being sluiced, so that
repairs can be made there without
special notice being given.
The last cut off in the main ca
nails was made in. December 1926
and occupied five day period
There are about $500 second feet of
water being diverted into the val
ley at this time, the demand being
lighter than at almost any other
period of the year. The Colorado is
running Approximately 5000 second
feettQf water this Week,j according
to reports from the}disfrict office

2. Construct removable roosts and
dropping boards, allowing as few
cracks as possible.
3. Paint or spray the roosts, walls
around the roosts, dropping boards and
nests with a full-strength solution Of
two parts oil to one part stock dip, or
five gallons lime sulphur to 40 gallons
of water. Applications should be made

and fall, and in pairs, one following
the other in FIVE or six days.

Soy Beans Produce Best
Hay When Planted Thick

Thickly planted soy beans produce
hay Of greater feeding value than
those that are thinly planted. accord
ing to preliminary results of tests
which are being made by the college
Of agriculture. University of Illinois.
Soys seeded with wheat drill at the
rate Of one andsa fourth bushels an
acre yielded hay with fine stems, only
six per cent Of which was refused by
dairy cows. In contrast to this, beans
that were seeded thinner produced
scoarser hay, a larger proportion of the
stems being left uneaten. The plot
seeded at the rate of about a half
bushel an acre produced very coarse
hay, 16 per cent Of which was refused.
according to DR.. w. B. Nevens. assist
ant chief of dairy cattle feeding at the
college. The difference in the feeding
value Of the fine stemmed hay as COM
pared with the coarse hay. therefore
was about IL per cent, or about 24O
pounds for each ton of hay fed:
For one thing the thinly seeded
plots contained more weeds. an i'm
portant factor affecting the quality of
hay.
Larger plots of soy beans are being
grown in the test with the object of
making further studies of the effect
of rate of planting on the quality of
hay.
