No Worms in a Healthy Child
All children troubled with Worms have an un-
healthy color, which indicates poor blood, and as a
sale, there is more or 1 ess stomach disturbance.
GROVE’S TASTELESS CHILL TONIC given regu-
larly for two or three weeks will enrich the blood,
improve the digestion, and act as a general Strength-
ening Tonic to the whole system. Nature will then
throw off or dispel the worms, and the Child will be
la perfect health. Pleasant to take.' 60c per bottle.

jail for the theft of a water-
melon at a picnic fifteen years
ago. He had served only a few
days when he escaped and re-
cently he decided to get the
crime off his conscience by serv-
ing out his sentence. The
authorities gave him complete
pardon and sent him back home
fully restored to all his rights
and privileges as a citizen. If a
precedent set in Georgia holds
good in West Tennessee, it would
be all right for the editor of the
Honey Grove Signal to make
similar atonement. But we ad-
vise him to make sure of the
attitude of the court before he
surrenders. If the outcome
should result in conviction and
he should be given a cumulative
sentence, we fear he would never
return to Texas.—The Leonard

TO PRACTICE IS HARDER
THAN TO PREACH.
A philosopher once stepped into a
market place and looked about him at
the multitude of things offered for
sale. “How many things there are in
the world,” he said, “that I do not
want.”
The dearest gift that life can offer
us is the contentment and friendship
of the home, and the knowledge that
we are wanted in that home. The
world is full of people, however, who
turn their homes into houses, and then
spend their lives trying to forget that
they are living. Let it be known that
these unhappy people are the people
of the cities. Only in the cities do
any great portion of the people be-
come so thoughtless of other’s needs
and so intent on their own momentary
pleasures that they find no one want-
ing them and consequently lose that
greatest of life’s blessings—the con-
tentment and friendship of home.
Only in the cities do people find their
lives so miserable from lack of bless-
ings that they can think of nothing
but to forget life, to gamble, dance,
sport, drug and chase the elusive
pleasures of excitement. If you would
be happy—if you would wish happi-
ness to your children, remember the
contentment and friendship of the
country.—David N. Port.

Appetizing.
His wife had gone to visit her
mother, and had telephoned that
she would not be returning until
the morning. When she got
back she said to her husband:
“You managed to find some-
thing to eat last night, didn’t
you dear ?”
“Oh, yes,” he replied, cheerily.
“I had the steak that was in the
pantry and fried it with some
onions I found in the cellar.”
“Onions,” she gasped. “Dar-
ling, you’ve eaten my bulbs!”
A Soul for Beauty.
A small boy stood on a bridge
and Clapped his hands vigorously
as he watched the western- sky
which was diffused with a dull,
red glow. A near - sighted
stranger watched him for a time.
“It does my heart good to see
you appreciate that cloud ef-
fect,” at length remarked the
stranger.
“Yes, sir, it’s fine,” replied the
boy excitedly.
“The soul of a poet,” sighed
the stranger. “Do you often
watch sunsets, my boy?”
“Sunset, nothin’! Gee, mister,
that’s the school house burnin’.”

She—I’ll call my brother if
you kiss me.
He—How old is he ?
She—Three years.

“I hoped my husband would
give me a runabout on my birth-

“Why didn’t you give him a
hint?”
“I did. I told him I would like
something that would go fast
and that a woman could handle.
And what do you think he gave
me?”
“Don’t know. What?”
“A $20 bill.”

The Poison Gas* Protocol.
The resolution of the confer-
ence on arms now sitting at
Geneva in favor of the imme-
diate framing of a special pro-
tocol by which the use of asphyx-
iating gas in wartime would he
outlawed opens up an important
and complicated problem. In re-
gard to poison gas, every right-
thinking man in every country is
opposed to its use. Nothing
more horrible or more cowardly
than the use of such means of
destruction can be conceived.
The possibility of indiscrim-
inate masisacre of men, women
and children by poison gas re-
volts the public conscience
throughout the world. With
such a subject for their
speeches, it is no wonder that

waged under horrible conditions.
Germany found itself in the po-
sition of a Frankenstein who
raised a monster he could not
lay. The chemical genius of the
United States enabled it to in-
vent still more terrible gases
Representative Burton, head ofthan the German ones, and
the American delegation, and M.
Boncour, of the French delega-
tion, thrilled their audience.
Once voted, it is proposed that
the protocol shall be open to the
signature of all nations. Such
signature is of course the crux
of the whole question. Just as a
chain is only strong in the ratio
of it's weakest link, such an
agreement, to have any value,
must receive universal adhesion.
If any one nation abstained the
others would be forced to take
precautions against it. This
would practically vitiate the
whole agreement.
The use of poison gais in war
was barred by the convention of
The Hague, but this did not pre-
vent Germany, one of the signa-
tory powers, making it and using
it during the World War. Every
other country, including the
United States, was forced to fol-
low suit, with the result that the
final phases of the war were

Wheat—and Corn.
Kansas, like the rest of the
country, has suffered a severe
loss in wheat. Apparently this
year’s crop will be 40 million
bushels below the 5-year aver-
age. But this is not the whole
story. As the crop of the entire
country is more than 200 million
bushels below last year’s, the
price is bound to be good. The
farmer who has wheat will make
money on it. The situation is
not as if Kansas had a small crop
in a big crop, low price year.
Besides, Kansas is not a 1-crop
state. It has other strings to its
bow. It is raising 8 million more
bushels of oats and barley than
last year and its corn acreage is
the largest in years, with com
conditions considerably better
than last year at this time.
There is every reason to be-
lieve that Kansas will more than
make up in com for its loss in
wheat.

though, happily, these never
came into use because of the in-
tervention of the armistice, their

even alleged that the knowledge
of what was in store for them in
this regard did much to bring
about the German collapse.
