who recently stopped the court
proceedings in Hendersonville to
tell story with moral that an
erring youth might see the wis
dom Of changing his course:
God grant that the example
Of your punishment may be a
solemn warning to all and cspc-
ciallt to the youth of the land
May it impress deeply upon the
minds Of all the salutary lesson it
was intended to teach, to guard
against the indulgence of every
unhallowed and vindictive pas
sion; to resist temptation to any
and every selfish, sordid and
wicked purpose; to listen to the
warnings of conscience and yield
to the plain dictates of duty; and
while they instinctiyely shrink
with abhorrcnce from the first
thought of assailing the life Of
another, may they learn to rev.
erence the laws of God and Soc
iety designed for the protection
Of their own lives. May it bring
home to all the certain assurance
that there is no sin without it's
wages. that there is no vice with
out its penalties, just as there is
no virture without it's rewards.

DAME FORTUNE STILL FAVORS
FAR-SIGHTED
lRy BRUCE CATION

. For rs years Col. Lewis Walker oeggeo
his friends and neighbOrS to put their
money into an invention he had bought.
Walker had money, and put it into pro-
ducing the patented article. His fortune
withered away. He inherited some more
money, and sent that after the first. Still
the thing didn't pay out.
Walker was certain it was a good thing
He pleaded with everyone he knew who
had money to put some Of it into develop
ment of his project. Nearly all OF them
refused. The thing wasn't practical, peo-
pie wouldn't want it, you couldn't make 1t
cheaply enough, dozen and one excuses
instantly came to the minds Of reluctant
friends who were too careful OF their
money to throw any of it into wildcat
schemes.
The invention? Just silly thing called
the "hookleSs fastener" which Col. Walker
had seen at the Worlds Fair in Chicago
in 1898. Walker believed in it, became a
partner with the inventor, finally bought
him out after repeated attempts to manu-
facture and sell the "hookless fastener"
had failed There was nothing but failure
for more than 20 years. The peoples origi-
nal skepticism was fortified by these re-
peated failures.
Today's versions of the "hookleSs fast
ener' are commonly called zippers, and
under various trade names you find them
on every kind of garment from Overshoes
to scanties. During the last 10 years the
contrivance found the place Col. Walker
had envisioned all down through those dis
couraging years. He died, little while
ago, a rich man.
His home town of Meadville, Pa, has
never felt the depression, for the Upper
factory of Colonel Walker has been grow
ing steadily all through those years, pro-
viding always more and better jobs even in
the days when so many communities were
hard hit.
How many Colonel Walkers are there
today, walking the streets with ideas that
will incidentally make them rich, but, more
important will provide more communities
with new and growing industries? How
many moneyed people are there with the
foresight and the willingness to take a
chance on the new and untried?
Nobody knows. But on that combination
of people with ideas and people with
money and nerve to back them, will depend
the speed with which we climb out of to-
days depressed conditions. The few peo-
pie who strung along" with Col. Walker,
like the original hackers of Henry Ford,
made lot of money and performed a
socially useful service. They are the kind
of people we need so desperately today.

sequences of prolonged infestation.
The paralysis is of an ascending
variety, beginning in the feet with
|numbness, tingling sensations and
dragging of the feet in walking.
The legs are gradually affected with
muscular weakness and inco-ordina-
ton. The arms are then involved in
similar fashion, and often the vocal
cords and muscles of the throat, SO
that swallowing is difficult. If the
tick is found and removed, there is
Ia very rapid reversal of all these
symptoms, and within "a hours to
48 hours the entire condition dis
appears.
May Lead to Death
IF, however, the tick is allowed to
REMAIN, the paralysis of the throat
may lead to death. n
A typical case is that of a farmer
who went to a neighboring commu-
nifty to inspect some prize pigs.
Five days later he noticed numb
mess and tingling in his legs. Two
days later the legs would not sup
port the body, and there was some
weakness of the arms and hands.
lie was taken to the hospital where
definite nerve changes could be
made out. A few days later the
speech became thick and slurred.
HE called attention to q lump on his
|scalp. This was found to be fully
|distended wood tick. This was re-
moved, just nine days after the
prize pig Inspection. The next day
the paralysis was better and three
days later he was dismissed from
THE hospital with all signs ofparaly-
sis gone.
