MISS RANDLE PLEASES
PITTSBURG AUDIENCE
In addition to being re-
liable protection, a pol-
icy in Great Southern
Life Insurance Co. is a
good investment.
Hogan was tired of the city and
wanted to move out to the great open
spaces where men are men and all
that sort of thing. Accordingly, he
sought information from a friend.
“Clancy,” he said, “Ye’ve taken a
homestead, so ye know all about it.
Will ye be tellin’ me the law about
goin’ about it?”
“Well,” said Clancy judiciously,
“I’m not after rememberin’ the letter
of th’ law, but here’s what it amounts
to. Th’ guvviment is willin’ to bet ye
wan hundred an’ sixty acres of land
agin’ fourteen dollars that ye can’t
live on it five years without starvin’
to death.”
tread now that assures long and
wear against the “cupping” and uneven
wear so common to ordinary Balloons.
Don’t throw your old shoes
away; bring them to us for
repairing. That’s the eco-
nomical thing to do, for it
gives you twice as much
wear from every pair.
The large audience that heard Miss
Emma Dee Randle, the well known
reader of the Dixie lyceum course,
Monday night at the school audito-
rium was delightfully entertained.
Miss Randle is a most talented read-
er and her impersonations are excep-
tionally fine. The greater part of

A group of workmen at the lunch
hour were discussing evolution and
the origin of man. One of the party
remained silent, when a companion
turned to him and demanded his
opinion.
“I ain’t goin’ to say,” he replied.
“I remember as how Henry Green
and I threshed that out once before
and it’s all settled as far as I’m con-
cerned,”
“But what conclusion
rive at?”
“Well, we didn’t arrive at the same
conclusion. I arrived at the hospital,
and Henry at the police station.”
“Why do you cry, little man?”
“I forgot what I was gonna tell my
dad so he wouldn’t lick me.”
Corvallis, Ore., Feb. 9.—Cases of
poison oak among students of Ore-
gon Agricultural College have been
successfully treated with liquid air,
by Dr. F. E. Howland, professor of
industrial chemistry.
Liquid air is made by compressing
ordinary atmosphere at a low tem-
perature. When the substance is
about 300 degrees below zero, it is
applied to the affected portions.
Rapid evaporation tends to deaden
the surface of the flesh temporarily,
stopping the irritation caused by the
poison oak.
Liquid air will solidify rubber,
mercury oi' any vegetable matter in-
to a brittle mass. Dr. Howland says
there is no danger using it if it is ap-
plied directly to the skin.
Sickly, Peevish Children
Children suffering from intes-
tinal worms are cross, restless and
unhealthy. There are other symp-
toms, however. If the child is
pale, has dark rings under the
eyes, bad breath and takes no
interest in play, it is almost a cer-
tainty that worms are eating away
its vitality. The surest remedy
for worms is White’s Cream Verm-
ifuge. It is positive destruction
to the worms but harmless to the
child. Price 35c. Sold by
J. L. KIRKPATRICK. DRUGGIST
London.—The day when one can
sit comfortably in an armchair in
London or New York and see rival
armies fighting in China may not be
in immediate prospect, but a young
English inventor promises to have a
short-range television set on the mar-
ket within a year at a price within
$150.
The inventor, John L. Baird, a
young Scotchman, has already given
a number of remarkable demonstra-
tions with his machine, which has the
astonishing property not only of
transmitting sight by wireless, but al-
so of “seeing in the dark.” In other
words, through this machine, people
in one room are enabled to see the
movements of people in another room
so darkened that the people in it are
not able to see each other.
This is accomplished through the
use of recently discovered infra-rays,
sometimes known as “invisible light.”
Instruments hitherto experimented
with, television has only been made
possible by submitting the object to
be transmitted to an intensely bright
light. Baird discovered in the course
of a series of experiments with dif-
ferent lights that he could transmit
the appearance of an object by use
of infra-red rays, even though the
object was in pitch darkness.
Yet, while it is possible to get good
television results of objects in com-
plete darkness by the use of infra-red
rays, according to Baird, normal
lighting gives better reproduction.
“The discovery will probably have
great uses in war,” Baird^declared in
an interview, “for then it will be pos-
sible for airplanes to flood areas be-
low them with infra-red light, while
observers in these machines, equip-
ped with suitable apparatus, will be
able to watch enemy troop move-
ments without disclosing the position
of the airplanes. At the same time
the country possessing the secret of
the use of the same rays will be able
to watch the movements of enemy
aircraft without giving their own po-
sition by searchlights or flares, as is
the case under present conditions of
warfare.
■ “At present there seems no way of
pjetting out of the range of the infra-
red rays, or of overcoming them,
but it is not impossible, of course,
that some one later may invent some
sort of counter-ray which would ne-
gate the effectiveness of infra-red
rays.”
Brownwood, Feb.9.—Recently a lo-
cal item was printed to the effect
that a certain young woman, member
of the Girls’ Club of Brown County,
under the direction of County Dem-
onstration Agent Miss Malone, had
excelled in biscuit making. The
young woman a day or so ago receiv-
ed an offer of marriage from a man
in California, who says he is a mil-
lionaire, but has never been able to
find a woman who knows how to
make biscuits he can eat.
have been able to please so
many people so well.
Washington, Feb. 9.—Agriculture
enters the new season with an out-
look at least as good as a year ago,
says the Department of Agriculture
in its February 1 report on the farm
situation.
“If effective readjustment is made
in acreage of cotton and certain oth-
er cash crops, and if the growing sea-
son proves fairly normal, it is pos-
sible for conditions to improve ma-
terially,” the department declares.
The report points out that with
about 41,000,000 acres of Winter
wheat in the ground, which is 5 per
cent more than a year ago, “any sub-
stantial increase in Spring wheat
acreage would be apt to put all hard
wheat on an export basis next Fall.”
A strong probability that farmers
will plant an excessive acreage of po-
tatoes this Spring is seen by the de-
partment. The last two years have
produced short crops and high prices,
and reports to the department indi-
cate that farmers intend to increase
potato acreage about 12 per
over 1926.

Washington, Feb. 9.—Absolute ex-
actness in the measurement of time
is a scientific ideal that may forever
elude human attainment, but the Bu-
reau of Standards has just worked
out a method that comes nearer to it
than have any previous efforts in
the field.
The device will record half second
intervals which may substantially be
depended upon, the bureau says to be
accurate to “within a few parts in
100,000,” a desirable condition in
labaratory work where the utmost
exactness in gauging the speed and
duration of phenomena is sought.
There is no particular complexity
about the new device. Its control
feature is a pendulum with a slit
through the center, and a light back
of it. As the swinging pendulum
passes the proper point, light flashes
through the orifice and falls on a
sensitive surface in front. A tiny
electric current thus generated in the
sensitive surface is amplified as in
radio practice, and a moving photo-
graphic film records the instant.
NO INSINUATION
Neil — “Are you insinuating
my ancestors were monkeys?”
Al—“Ah, no, nothing like that,
only I think they could have scratch-
ed their heads with their toes without I mor that was received most happily
much trouble.” by her audience.—Pittsburg Gazette.
“Hello!
moon?”
“Yes.”
“Introduce me to your wife.”
“Sorry. I can’t. She is not with
me. One of us had to stay at home
to look after the business.”
The bottom dropped out of the
marriage fee market at the court-
house. Friday with a new price of $1
being quoted to a negro couple.
So spirited was the “price-slashing
war” of ministers just outside the
marriage license window that couples
were going to outside ministers to
have the ceremony performed.
When the negro couple obtained a
license from Deputy County Clerk
Donges, a minister stepped up and
offered to perform the ceremony at
the usual quotation of $3. A second
preacher told them that he would
marry them for $1.
The first minister then advised the
negro couple to go to their own
preacher and “be married right.”
This the negroes decided to do, leav-
ing courthouse loungers to laugh over
the re-enacting of Aesop’s fable
which tells of two animals fighting
over a prize and a third running off
with it.
Justices of the Peace in the base-
ment of the courthouse, whom a cou-
ple manages to ,reach now and then,
were enjoying the “price war” be-
tween the preachers who loiter
around the marriage license desk.
