MONEY MADE;
MONEY SPENT
Many years ago Jay Gould began
life as a country boy, 'miking cows
for 50 cents a day. He died leaving
an enormous fortune. The heirs are
now quarreling over it.
In the family litigation over the
millions that Jay Gould left, being
conducted by thirty-five high-pric-
ed lawyers, the attempt at black-
mail of more than thirty years ago
was up again recently.
Sometime ago two women made
an effort to blackmail Mr. Go d.d,
one of them claiming that she had
been married to him. They were
unsuccessful.
A man who makes a million dol-
lars and more is apt to be the tar-
get for all kinds of sharpers. Every
man’s hand is against him.
It is easier, and more fun, to
make a million dollars than it is to
take care_ of it. In the making of
it there is excitement and adven-
ture. In the taking care of it there
is nothing but caution.
We are all anxious to accumulate
fortune, in order that we may
leave our children better off than
we were ourselves. We imagine that
the road will be smooth for them by
having plenty of money.
We forget that it is the predes-
tined lot of man, in this world, to
^find happiness through struggle and
to win the prize of life by his own
exertions.
Most of the efforts of those whn
have accumulated much money to
enable their children to lead a bet-
ter kind of life have been unsuc-
cessful. It is the want of money,
and the need of it, that gives most
of us activity, and this activity re-
sults in the development of our
character.
The possession of a great deal of
money renders activity unnecessary
and our character degenerates.
It is a common saying that it is
only two or three generations from
shirt sleeves to shirt sleeves.—Dr.
Frank Crane.

Sulphur Springs, Texas, Nov. 20.
—“Despite the drouth and conse-
quent low production of cotton,
Hopkins county farmers are in bet-
ter shape financially this fall than
last,” declared M. B. Sherwood,
well-known Sulphur Springs bank-
er, in discussing agricultural con-
ditions with members of the soil
improvement campaign committee.
“While local banks will carry con-
siderable farmers’ paper over the
winter, the outlook for next year is
brighter and a much better crop is
expected. From May 25 to Aug. 21
there was practically no rainfall,
and it appeared as if the cotton
yield would only be about 10,000
bales for the county. However, a
good rain in September and a warm
fall improved matters greatly and
we expect there will be something
like 25,000 bales ginned in the
county. Hopkins county, with a pop-
ulation of approximately 35,000,
generally produces around 35,000
bales of cotton, or one bale for ev-
ery inhabitant.
C- T on Not Only Cro?
“Cot", n is not .he only morey
crop here, however, as the water-
melon yield was good and over 400
cars have been shipped out. Six
carloads have been shipped up to
the middle of this month, which is
unusually late for them. The warm
weather was responsible for this
unusual feature.”
According to County Agent W.
W. Evans, who is also secretary of
the Sulphur Springs Chamber of
Commerce, the sweet potato crap
has brought farmers of the county
a large amount of ready cash. “One
man living south of town produced
5,000 bushels on a twenty-five acre
tract, or 200 bushels per acre. He
sold his crop for $1.50 to $1.75 a
bushel f. o. b. Sulphur Springs,”
said Mr.. Evans. “Hopkins county is
also a great poultry center; this
year 300 cars of live poultry were
shipped from here and fifteen cars
of dressed turkeys, 1,900 to the ;•»,
have been shipped to the larger
cities this month.
Use Commercial Fertilizers.
“This county has been particu-
larly strong on the use of commer-
cial fertilizers. In 1920, 150 tons
of commercial plant food were used;
in 1921, 300 tons; in 1922,    500
tons; in 1923, 2,500 tons ancb in
1924 no less than 5,000 tons were
used. We got an extra bale of cot-
ton for every ton of fertilizer used
in 1923,” he said, “demonstrating
its value conclusively in the produc-
tion of larger yields.”
A. K. Shoi't of the A. & M. Col-
lege extension service and Dr. J. N.
Harper, soil expert of Atlanta,
were the principal speakers in the
meeting Thursday morning in the
courthouse under the direction of
the county agent. The benefits of
terracing, adding humus to run-
down soils and the use of the cor-
rect pi-oportions of fertilizers to ob-
tain best results were stressed by
the soil experts. A. P. Swallow, hor-
ticulturist of the extension service,
made an address on the growing of
■md pecan trees, which was
followed by an open formum discus-
sion in which everyone took part,
the experts answering inquiries and
explaining the best agricultural
practices used with the crops dis-
cussed.
Thursday night the better soils
committee left for Kaufman for a
two days’ demonstration, where the
fourth annual campaign will be
brought to a close Saturday.
KING OF SPAIN
IS ACCUSED OF
RE1NG TRAITOR
Paris, Nov. 20.—Vincente Blasco
Ibanez’s manifesto against King Al-
fonso of Spain, a pamphlet of 100
pages, published in France, England
and the United States today,
charges the king with being directly
and personally responsible for the
Spanish military disaster at Annual
Morocco, in 1923, in which General
Silvester and several thousand
Spanish soldiers were killed and
thousands of others made prison-
ers.
The author also charges King Al-
fonso with betraying the French by
giving secret information to the
Germans during the war.
Ibanez accuses Alfonso of having
written General Silverter a letter
commanding the Moroccan soldier
to “do as I say” and adding:
“Don’t bother about the instruc-
tions of the minister of war, who is
an imbecile.”
General Silvester advanced
against the advice of Madrid, says
Ibanez, and was surrounded and Ms
army annihilated.

“What makes a cow hold up he
milk, and what will cause her tc
give it down?”
The cow does not wilfully or vol
untarily “hold up” her milk.,, Th
function of milk secretion is not]
under the control of the will of th
cow. When a cow appears lo “ho!d|
up” her milk, or apparently refuse
to “give down” her milk, it is the
result of some interference with he?
habit, some excitement, or some un-|
usual condition, and is due to the!
effects of this on that part of the
nervous system which controls milk
secretion, or the formation of milk
in the udder.
For instance, a cow that has be-
come accustomed to being fed -while
being milked, may not “give down”
her milk if not fed. Or cows that
are allowed to suckle their calves,
may not “give down” their milk if
the calf, is not present, or is not al-
lowed to nurse a little just before
milking is started. Also the presence
of a strange dog, or being excited
by any unusual condition, may in-
terfere with milk formation and ap-
pear to cause the cow to “hold up”
her milk. This shows how import-
ant it is to train the heifer properly
with her first calf, and also to start
right when any other calf is young.
The cow is much a creature of ha-
bit and -any change is likely to les-
sen the milk flow.
The writer as a boy milked cows
that were taught to stand out in the
open without feed to be milked.
The cow was taught to give herself
up to being milked without any dis-
turbing influence or condition.
Some, however, think it best to feed
the cow while she is being milked.
It may be easiest to teach the heifer
to enjoy being milked by feeding
her when the milking is first start-
ed, but I believe it much more
pleasant for the milker afterward,
and probably better for the cow, to
teach her that she is to devote her-
self entirely to ‘being milked, with-
out any distracting influences or
conditions, and then making no
change in the surroundings after-
ward.
Some milkers are better than oth-
ers, and cows like some milkers bet-
ter than they do others. A cow that
has been milked by a good milker
for a long time may fajil to “give
down” her milk if there is a change
of milkers. A gentle, quiet person
who milks rapidly and strongly with
the full hand makes the best milker.
From the foregoing, it is evident
what is necessary to prevent a cow
from “holding up” her milk. Teach
her how she should be milked, and
then make no change and allow
nothing to excite or disturb her. Al-
low the calf to suck only once, then
take it away while the cow is out
of the stall, or draw her attention
away with feed, until the calf is
quietly removed, and then do not
allow the cow to see or hear the
calf again.
Milk in the same way every time,
as nearly as possible, and at the
same time and under the same con-
ditions. Be kind and gentle with the
cow, avoiding all noise, confusion
or excitement, and milk rapidly
with a strong, full hand.—The Pro-
gressive Farmer.

theater, his press

Following the arrests and alleged

that the film would not be permit-

assistant would be held in jail pend-
ing further action and the district
attorney was asked to see if a fel-

DOCTORS IN
WORLD SESSION
AN ASTOUNDIING STATAEMENT
The ^United States Department of
Commerce has compiled the statis-
tics on automobile accidents for the
year 1923 and the result is astound-
ing. It shows 22,600 killed, 678,000
serious injuries and an economic loss
of more than $600,000,000. And to
make the picture still darker the
Department says it was unable to
secure full reports and that the real
fact would show a much worse sit-
uation. There were 58,230 Ameri-
can soldiers actually killed in the
great war during the two years it
lasted^We have thought, and right-
ly, that this was a terrible price to
pay for the world’s freedom from
autocracy, but we are paying almost
as great a price for the privilege of
running automobiles too fast.. It is
claimed that more than 90 per cent
of the accidents were caused by
reckless driving.—Marshall News.

HOW DOCTORS TREAT
GOLDS AND THE FLU
To break up a cold over night or to cut
short an attack of grippe, influenza or sore
throat, physicians and druggists are now
recommending Calctabs, the nausealess
Calomel tablet, that is purified from dan-
gerous and sickening effects. Those who
have tried it say that it acts like magic, by
far more effective and certain than the old
style calomel, heretofore recommended by
physicians.    r—
One or two Calotabs at' bed time with
a swallow of water,—that’s all. No salts,
no nausea nor the slightest interference
with eating, work or pleasures. Next morn-
ing your cold has vanished and your sys-
tem feels refreshed and purified. Calotabs
are sold only in original sealed packages.,
price ten cents for the vest-pocket size %
thirty-five cents for the large family pack-
age. Recommended and guaranteed by Aft
druggists. Your money back if you are not
delighted.—adv.

It is simply a question of know-
ing what it takes to clear out those
diseases of the skin, like bumps,
blotches, pimples, rash, eczema,
“breaking out,” etc., and the mak-
ers of Black and White Ointment,
and Black and White Soap seem to
have just what the skin needs to
get rid of them quickly. The fact
that more than two million pack-
ages of them are sold every year
proves how popular they are.
Black and White Ointment and
Soap are economically priced, in lib-
eral packages. The 50c size Oint-
ment contains three times as much
as the liberal 25c size. All dealers
have both the Ointment and the
Soap.

Nurse Tells
Mrs. N. E. Snow, of ,
Route 1, near Paris, Tenn.,
tells the story; of her ex-
perience as follows:
“I am 62 years old and
I have been a practical
nurse for more than 20
years, taking mostly ma-
ternity cases. One of my
daughters suffered from
cramping at ... She
would just bend double
and have to go to bed.

The Woman’s Tonic

and she only had to take
about two bottles,- when
she hardly knew that it

little pain.
“My youngest daughter
was run-down, weak and
nervous . . ., no appetite
and tired all the time. I
gave her two bottles of
Cardui. It built her up
and she began eating and
i soon gained in weight and
has been so well since.”
