JACK COUNTY BOY
In Oklahoma. Wouldn’t Advise
Jack County People To Go
There.
\Doxey, Okla., May 9.— (Written
for the Gazette).—We moved from
the Lone Star State of Texas, Jack
county, December the 16th, 1910,
and arrived in the little village of
Carter, Christmas Eve. We saw
amny fine wheat fields in Texas
and a few in Oklahoma. We hap-
pened to the good luck of finding
good families to camp with at night.
My coussin came with us out here,
but has gone back. We left many
dear friends in Jack county.
We live in four miles of the little
city of Sayre.
This is a very good country but
it is so dry,—our l^tst rain was the
fifteenth of February. Our cotton
is coming up but is dying. People
raise maize, Kaffir corn, sorghum,
alfalfa, broom corn, and cotton here.
Although this is a prairie country
and people have to buy posts and
coal, some of the country is level
and some is broken and sandy.
I wouldn’t advise anybody to
leave Jack county and come here.
I am fourteen years old.

New York City Making Land for a
Park.
One of the most remarkable park
cites for a large city is that being
put into effect on the river front
of the. Hudson. The Scientific
American gives a full description of
the plan, in which it says: “At an
average distance of 200 feet out
from the present shore line, a rip-
rap wall will be built, and the inter-
vening space filled in with suitable
material. Adjacent to the present
tracks of the New York Central
Railroad space will be reserved for
two additional tracks, to be built by
the company when the increased
traffic of the future calls for them.
Then, in their turn, will be con-
structed three municipal freight
tracks, a broad loading and unload-
ing platform, a driveway for vehi-
cles, a wide platform for receiving
river and ocean freight, and,* finally,
along the dock front will be a pair
of tracks for the use of freight un-
loaded from or to be delivered to
steamships.
The whole of this area, up to the
edge of the steamship loading and
unloading platform, will be covered
by a massive steel and concrete
roof, and upon this will be laid a
covering of earth of sufficient
depth to meet the requirements of
a park, and support a growth of
turf, shrubbery and trees. The
park, as thus formed, will be laid
out with walks and winding paths
to conform to the pathways exist-
ing on the slopes of Riverside Park.
Large open.ngs will be provided at
intervals for lighting and ventilat-
ing the covered-in tracks and road-
ways, and in that portion of the
new park which Is opposite Colum-
bia College a stadium will be laid
out for the use of the university.
There is a precedent for this im-
provement to be found in such cit-
ies as Antwerp and Vienna, where
the water front has been so judi-
ciously Improved that its commer-
cial value has been increased, and
its artistic development greatly
promoted.”
Saved Child From Death.
“After our child had suffered
from severe! bronchial trouble for a
year,’’ wrote G. T. Richardson, of
Richardson’s Mills, Ala., “we fear-
ed it had consumption. It had a bad
cough all the time. We tried many
remedies without avail, and doctor’s
medicine seemed as useless. Final-
ly we tried Dr. King’s New Discov-
ery, and are pleased to say that one
bottle effected a complete cure, and
our child is again strong and heal-
thy.’’ For coughs, colds, hoarseness,
la grippe, asthma, croup and sore
lungs, it is the most infallible rem-
edy that’s made. Price 50c and $1.

Girls’ Tomato Club.
The Fort Worth Record says as a
comparison of the Boys’ Corn Club,
which promises to revolutionize
farming methods in Texas and tie
the boys on the farm more secure-
ly, Secretary G. J. Gibbs of Texas
Grain Dealers’ association will un-
dertake the introduction of the Girls’
Tomato plub ini the State, hoping
thereby to encourage gardening
Induce the girls of the country to
qua’ify for good farmers’ wives.
The idea had its origin in Missis-
■ippi, but Mr. Gibbs admits that
that State has given to Texas
many good citizens and ideas, and
he is not loathe to follow because
it came from Mississippi. Miss Su-
sie V. Powell, a public school teach-
er in that State,, appears to have
been the prime mover in the un-
dertaking and her success the first
season has been so encouraging
that she will enlarge the scope of
the work next year and call the
clubs “Girls’ Canning and Poultry
Clubs.”
“No vegetable is more In demand
nor has a more interesting history
than the tomato,” said Mr. Gibb3,
and I believe it affords an excel-
lent artiele to bfcgin the work with
Ycfu. know the tomato used to be
regarded as a poisonous vegetable
and good only for ornaments. It
was known as late as thirty-five
years ago as a ‘love apple’ and peo-
ple were still afraid to eat it. I
remember when my grandmother
•ettled in‘Indiana that the tomato
was still regarded as fit only for or-
namentation and that it was still
called the ‘love apple,’ whereas to-
day It is in demand on every table.
“The tomato is the greatest veg-
etable for canning purposes known
in the United States. More toma-
toes are canned than peaches, and
the government buys more canned
tomatoes for its«soldiers thaik any
other one article of food. There is
a demand for them all the year
round, and the girls who go into
the tomato-raising business can al-
ways be assured of a market for
their produce. Then the canning
and preserving idea will give them
lines which will be very helpful to
them when they become housekeep-
ers..
“Then I like the idea of adding
the poultry features. I am firmly
convinced that the old br<fwn hen is
the greatest single Item in the
prosperity of the American farmer
today. She does not generally get

may be miles from the railroad and the
nearest shipping point. He is expecting a freight
shipment—what does he do? With his Bell Tel-
ephone he calls up the freight agent. If the ship-
ment has not arrived—no use in going to town.
There’s always plenty at hand to do. The
Bell Service gives him opportunity.

the credit for it, but heroines are
not always rewarded even in the
human sphere. When crops faiil
and money is scarce the old brown
hen keeps the family going and no-
body possessing several of her tribe
has ever been known to go hungry.
With a small truck patch, a brown
hen and a cow every young farmer
has the foundation for success, and
I believe In boys and girls being
trained to get the largest possible
results.” ’
Mr.. Gibbs will take up the work
of forming tomato clubs for girls in
Tarrant county next fall, so as to
get them properly organized for the
spring planting. In this connection
he will seek the co-operation of
Prof. Lee H. Hammond, county su-
perintendent of public instruction.
Prizes will be offered for the best
patch of tomatoes, just as are be-
ing offered the boys for the best
specimen of corn.
The plan abopted in Mississippi
and which will be followed here in
the essential parts of the contest,
is to have each girl plant a tenth
of an acre of tomatoes. The heavy
work in the cultivaUon will be done

• MUSHROOM CORNS •
e Most Painful of All Foot Ailments. *
• How to Cure Them. •
The Mushroom corn is so called from
its pitted cone top, resembling a tiny
mushroom. It burrows deep**lnto the
toe and gets more inflamed than other
corns. For the quick relief and cure of
these and all corns and callouses tbs
following is the most effective remedy *
known to sci-
ence: Dissolve
2 tablespoonfuls
of Calocide com-
pound in a ba-
sin of hot water. Soak the feet in this
for full fifteen minutes, gently mas-
saging the sore parts. (Less time will
not give desired results.) All sore-
ness instantly disappears and the cons
or callous can be easily peeled off. It
may be necessary to repeat this for a
number of nights for a complete cure,
but if adhered to it will surely succeed.
A little olive oil rubbed on the part
is very beneficial. This Calocide is a
very remarkable preparation for ait
foot ailments and is no lonfcer confined
to doctors’ use. Any druggist has it
in stock or will quickly get it from bis
wholesale house. A twenty-five cent
packagers usually sufficient to put the
worst feet in fine condition. Bad smell-
ing feet and tender feet need only s
few treatments, likewise with inflamed
bunions This item will be welcomed
by persons,who have tried ineffectual
