Sudden changes of weather are es-
pecially trying, and probably to none
more so than to the scrofulous con-
sumptive. The progress of scrofula
during a normal October is commonly
great. We never think of scrofula—
its bunches, cutaneous eruptions and
wasting of the bodily substance—
without thinking of the great good
many sufferers from it have derived
from Hood's Sarsaparilla, whose ra-
dical and permanent cures of this
one disease are enough to make It
the most famous medicine In the
world. There Is probably not a city
or town where Hood's Sarsaparilla
has not proved its merit In more
homes than one, In arresting and
completely eradicating scrofula,
which is almost as serious and as
much to be feared iib its near rela-
tive—eonsumption.

Roy Kirkpatrick, who has for tho
past three years been fanning and
experimenting with various crops on
his father's home place southwest of
the city, states that he had only an
acre and a half of cotton in this
year but hns already picked one
bale and will get more than another
off the 'acre and a half. He says
this is due to seed selection and
states that tbls cotton has longer
lint than the ordinary cotton. He
used no irrigation nor fertilizer,
and planted the cotton on ordinary
land. His wheat this year yielded
35 bushels to the acre and his oats
100 bushels to the acre. He only had
In 6 acres of oats but says next, crop
will be much larger.' He will also
plant about 20 acre* of cotton next
year; believing that he can make
equally as good yield per acre on 20
acres as he did for the acre and a
half this year. His corn yielded 40
bushels per acre and he is now busy
sorting his corn which he will enter
at the Dallas Fair. In 1908 and
1909 Roy took first prize on Straw-
berry corn at the Dallas Fair and at
the Texas Corn Show took first
prize. He took first prize at the Na-
tional Corn Show at Omaha, Neb.,
over all Texas corn. He is deeply
interested in his work and is well
pleased with the increase in yields
each year.

bed that melon with a column rule
and the entire force with composing

shooting sticks and mallets proceed-
ed to dispose of that melon in a man-
ner highly satisfactory to the force,
but demoralizing to the melon. It
was a good one. as each member of

kindly accept, our thanks for the

DISKED TO DEATH
Trenton, N. J., Oct. 4.—With 50,-
000 people watching him at the In-
terstate Fair Grounds yesterday af-
ternoon, Charles F. Walsh, while
making a spiral descent In a bi-
plane, fell 2,000 feet to Instant
death about a quarter of a mile out-
side tiie fair grounds\ Practically
every bono in his body wub broken
and his face and body were badly
cut.
Walsh had been giving exhibitions
at the fair ail week and yeBtorday
for the first time was doing fancy
stunts in the air with his machine.
H6 was very high, probably 5,000
feet, as he began his descent. He
was making the spiral descent with
the front of the machine pointed al-
most straight downward when he
lost control. Walsh could plainly
be seen struggling to regain his bal-
ance but without avail. The ma-
chine then began its fatal descent
to the earth and the la,rge number of
spectators realized that the aviator's
death was imminent.
Walsh was 25 years of age and a
native of San Diego, Cal. His wife
and two children are visiting at
Hammondsport, N. Y., where they
Intended to remain while he was fly-
ing in the East.
Walsh learned to fly with Lincoln
Beach y.
Walsh, it will be remembered,
gave exhibition flights hero on the
tenth day of last February, under
the auspices of that live real estate
firm, Scott & Etuerson. He remain-
ed here a part of two days, and his
machine was shipped from here to
Dallas. He was a visitor at this of-
fice during his stay in the city, and
talked interestingly of his career as
a "bird-man." The first machine he
ever used was one which he made
himself, without any pattern save a
picture of a Curtis machine. His
home-made machine was a good
one, and he made numerous success-
ful flights in it, and then sold It, af-
terwards building other and bettet1
machines. He was considered a safe
flyer, and had stated to a representa-
tive of this paper that he did not in-
tend to do any "fancy flying." It
seems that he let a desire to please
the .spectators, and the notoriety
which it would give him, caused him
to forget, his resolution, and his
death was the result.
