BIack-Draught Good Laxative

Black-Draught has been kept on
hand for all the family in the home
of Mr.. w. A. Lemons, of Indepen-
dence, Va, since twenty years ago.
Mr.. Lemons writes that he takes it
as laxative in cases of headache,
dull, tired feeling, biliousness."-
"And l take it if | feel uncomfort-
able after heavy meal" he adds. II
especially use it for sick headache.
1t certainly is good"
When man says "Black- Draught Is
good" it is probably because he remembers
the prompt, refreshing relief it brought in
constipation troubles. It is a simple, herb
laxative; natural in composition and action.

Pat Scanlan's Triple Play

the first transatlantic cable out of
Hearts Content, Newfoundland. He
was also the father of Jim's uncle.
Patrick Seaman.
Pat Seaman, and now we're getting
down to cases, was one Of the Elost
powerful swimmers and fishermen
Canada or New England has seen.
Often he plunged into lakes and swan
them with surveyors chain In his
mouth. And while doing this, Pat al
ways had time to select the likeliest
fishing pools.
His finest fishing is family history,
handed down to Jim McGrath. 1t hap

You see, Pat was fishing in this lake
he had seen while nibbling a surveying
chain. 1t was near dusk and he was
casting three hooks near the shore for

when it's getting dark. ....
Pat cast and hooked trout. He
played the fish short time. then gave
a determined jerk to establish who was
boss. AS Pat jerked he shared a
muskrat on the second hook. That
was too much so he whooped and
threw the double catch high in air,
casting trout, muskrat and line back
toward the water with a mighty
"swOosh."
And when Pat heaved the line to-
ward the water he caught humming
bird on the third hook. He always
claimed 1t was the only unassisted
triple play of that particular season.

From the 23I 900 farms of the state, says
Saunders, there Oere stolen 100000
chickens, 10000 head OF cattle and un-

Other states have been subjected to
enormous losses from what seems on

Railcar Popular in France

The railcar, or ''automotrice," as 1t
is known there, is becoming one of the
most popular means of rapid passenger
transport in France. At the same time
great efforts are being made to increase
the speed of these railcars. Every few
weeks a new record is established by
one of the rival constructing compa-
MES. Record was attained by NJ. Jean
Bugatti, who drove Bugatti railcar
from Strasbourg to Paris in hours 81
minutes, averaging S9.4 miles an hour.
iSeventy-fve Bugatti railcars are now
running on the French railway system.
M. Jean Bugatti considers that railcars
run on petrol are particularly useful
for ultra-rapid transit transport over
distances of three or four hundred
miles.-London Sunday Observer.

Europe had more insane monarchs

Eighteenth century than in any other

this time nine of them mounted the
thrones of seven countries. An inter-

or four complaints of theft which had
been made to authorities every night.
From evidence uncovered at this
meeting and at meetings in other parts
of the state it became apparent that
rural thievery was not the work of In
dividuals, but of gangs. Often these
gangs were led by seasoned criminals
who had been driven from the cities
by the efficient campaign against crime
there. These leaders hired men to
make systematic small thefts the COM
bined total of all of them was enough
to stamp the new racket as important.
Cattle Rustling Returns.
Even cattle rustling became big bust
ness to the gangs, although it was not,
to be sure, the cattle rustling of the
old West. In these days of smooth,
concrete highways and fast-moving
trucks it is possible to steal few
head of cattle, load them onto truck
and move them across a state In
single night. Often the gangs worked
in relays, one truck spiriting away the
stolen animals and another waiting for
the load to be transferred to it at the
state line. Sometimes the gangs hide
out was 300 or 400 miles away from
the area where most of their thievery
was perpetrated.
Farmers, slow to awaken to the seri-
BUSINESS of the disappearance of their
livestock and chickens a few head at
a time, were often entirely unaware
that their neighbors were experiencing
similar losses. Small losses were sell
dom reported; farmers in some cases
undoubtedly thought themselves fully
capable of coping with a common
chicken thief. Where it was actually
discovered that the thefts were the
work of gangs or of the more des-
perate type of criminal, farm families
hesitated to report thefts for fear the
burglars would return and set their
houses or farm buildings on fire.
The dnstUer seems nOtU to be that in

How did these farmers effect this

Eyes Opened, Ears Peeled.
Definite instructions are given all
farmers in the area. Farmers and
their families are trained to be on the

lions or persons Of suspicious nature
that they may have observed at or
near the time of the theft. More often
than not the information obtained
leads to a solution of the crime.
How this works may be shown by
a few examples:
Recently a man was convicted of
cattle-stealing In Iowa. He had been
transporting the cattle through Illi-
nois to his farm near South Bend, Ind
Two women saw his truck at an oil
station and the furtive manner of its
occupants aroused suspicion. The
women copied the name and address
from the side of the truck. The result
was an arrest, followed by conviction
and the recovery of the cattle by the
owner.
A tarner near Chicago satU a car
parked along the open highroay for no
apparent reason. He became suspicious.

Sails Jury Car
Strikes Officer

Sergeant John A. Wagner Of
the city police force was painfully
injured Saturday when struck by
an automobile driven by Bill Rog-
ers, 16, of this city.
The officer was directing traf-
fic in the 100 block of South Main
street when hit. He was taken to
the Rowan general hospital I'M
conscious but soon regained con-
sciousness. After staying at the
hospital overnight, he was allowed
to return to his home.
Rogers, who told officers he
does not have a State drivers Ii
cense, parked the car a short dis
lance from the accident and ran
to his fathers place of business
nearby. The father, A. L. Rogers,
took the boy to police headquart-
ers, and he was later released under
bond pending further investigation.
The youth said he did not sex the
officer until directly on him be-
cause of heavy traffic. He said he
was driving at a slow rate of
speed.
