Wildcat... ventures out
One of my neighbors, Merico
Laccfli, saw a strange-lcoking
beast on the grounds of the
Berkshire Country Club the
other day. He had his gun
with him, so he took a shot,
and brought down a 20-pound
wildcat Old timers up our
way say it is the first wildcat
seen in Berkshire In 30 years.
There’s still a lot of wild, un-
settled country, even in New
England. Up on top of a
rocky spur of West Stock-
bridge Mountain there is said
to be a herd of wild goats. I’ve
never seen them, but venture-
some boys sometimes scale the
crags and bring bach reporta
of being menaced by fierce,
long-homed, bearded billy-
goats. Now and then hunters
up our way sight a black bear,
and every so often we have a
wolf scare, while the deer seem
to be increasing in numbers.
I hope this country never* * * * *
gets so crowded that there
won’t be room for all the wfid
things as well as all the peo-
ple.
Termite* . moving south
The other day Fred Shaw
and I went up into my farm-
house attic to see about winter-
proofing the gable ends. "Say,
did you know you've got
termites in your rafters?" ask-
ed Fred. He pointed to half-a-
dozen mounds of sawdust on
the attac Soar.
Sure enough, the little white
ants were at .work there. T
thought I’d stopped ’em, seven
years ago, when I found they’d
eaten away one of the old
hand-hewn 12x12 sflis that the
old house rests on. Now I’ve
got to spend a lot more money,
maybe put on a whole new
roof, if I don’t want the house
to fall down on our heads.
- Termites have been work-
ing their way north from the
Gulf of Mexico for twenty
years. Now, the expert bug
men tell me. they’re busy even
in Canada. They get inside of
a piece of timber and eat the
heart out of it, leaving it only
a hollow shell.
Looks to me as if we’ve got
to figure out new ways to keep
insects from licking the human
race and taking possession of
the world.

Germany . .. hold* cask
A New York friend of mine
of German descent owns, with
his mother, a number of houses
in Berlin. A Berlin bank man-
ages the property and collect*
the rents. Ify friend can’t
get any of the money, for tha
Hitler Government won't let
cash go out of Germany except
to pay for imported goods.
Last Summer his mother got
permission to take $3,000 cut,
k she would come to Berlin in
person and satisfy the authori-
ties she needed the money to
live on. She and her sor. got
as far aa Paris, where the old
lad'- .lipped and bfoke her
hip. She couldn’t go to Ber-1
tin, and the money is still j
.ho, e, dcir.j rioirot’y a.:y good. ’
i-.y i.ier.U's account of that
experience brought home 1
sharply to me the effects of na-
tionalistic policies carried to
their extreme, and the trouble
caused by setting up artificial
barriers to free international
intercourse.

Telephone ... improved
I saw a new kind of tele-
phone instrument the other
day, which the telephone peo-
ple say will be in universal use
in a few yean. It doesn’t have
any box to fasten to the wall;
the bell is contained in the
base of the receiver. There are
two clappers to strike the
gongs. One is the usual metal
one, the other U made of
wood, to give a softer note for
the benefit of nervous people
who "jump out of their skins”
whenever the telephone rings.
And the two gongs are pitched
to different tones, giving a
musical effect as the clapper
vibrates between them.
A little thing, perhaps, but
one more example of the way
business enterprises are al-
ways trying to improve their
product.
Web.......over nation
I sat in my New York office
the other day and asked the
telephone operator to call my
farm home, 150 miles away.
“HoM the wire,” replied the
operator, and in three minutes
I was talking to my daughter.
I hung up, then called for a
Washington number. It took
even less time to get my con-
nection with the Senator I
wanted to talk to. I had, bare-
ly finished with him when my
'phone rang again. "Pitts-
burgh catling," said the opera-
tor.
And that night I got a tele-
phone call from another
friend who was stranded in
Los Angeles and wanted me
to telegraph him enough mon-
ey to pay his hotel bill and
buy a ticket back East. J
I went to sleep marvelling at
the miraculous web which the
telephone has woven all over
the nation. Sixty years ago,
nearly, I saw Professor Bell’s
first telephone, at the Philadel-
phia Centennial of 1876. It wad
looked on as an ingenious toy,
nothing more.

Dr. Alexis Carrel, In his
"Man, The Unknown,” states
that children have a contempt
for their parents, but willingly
imitate their ignorance, vulgar-
ity, selfishness and cowardice.
... If he’s right, what a terrific
burden is placed on every par-
ent who would bring np his
child to a stature of nobility!
One of the town’s illustrious
tells of taking her three-year-
old daughter to an exclusively
advanced practice nursery
school. “And what do they
do,” she asl.'.d. “Play with
blocks and such?” The teach-
er drew herself up to a prodi-
gious dignity and replied, “But
Madame, we don't call it play-

The story goes that Har-

One of the tailors of the
town says he has orders for
two satin-lined Inverness opera
capes of the old school, and
with an abstracted look in his

Watching the important
money being spent in the fash-

exclusive jewelers’ and fur-

new automobiles that roll out
of salesrooms every day in
New York, it looks like the be-

HOLDING THE WHEEL-
ON TEXAS FARMS
By Jlinnie Fisher Cunningham
Extension Service Editor
The Agricultural Adjust-
ment Administration will soon
offer the farmers of the South
a four-year cotton acreage ad-
justment contract. The details
are not known now, hut pre-
sumably the program Is much
the same as the present one
with certain improvements.
• • #
Whatever the faults of the
county adjustments of the last
three years, few will deny
that the vast improvement in
Southern prosperity is due
largely to the increased buy-
ing power of the cotton farm-
er.
• • •
The cotton income has been
doubled since 1932. One bale
of cotton now buys almost
twice as mmch as one bale
bought in 1982.
* • •
Census figures now being re-
leased by the States credit the
adjustment programs with
making possible the greatest
strides toward balanced farm-
ing ever known in the South.
The use of rented acres has
enabled the cotton farmer to
live at homa on a scale hither-
to unknown.
000
The South haa led the Na-
tion toward business recovery.
Countless figures and testi-
mony eaa be produced to show
that the towns have richly
shared in the benefits seeming
to farmers in the cotton pro-
gram.
• • •
With a new cotton program
coming up, the cotton farmer
will have to decide whether he
will follow the road of cotton
adjustment, or to take a chance
and grow all the cotton he can.
LETS TWJiT CLOTHES
By a “Young Modem” Texas
State College forWomen (CIA)
Denton, Nov. 29.—Look at
your shoes I Are they polished,
neat and in keeping with the
frock you are wearing? When
you buy them, do you think of
the possibility of wearing them
with other frocks in your
wardrobe? Of course, it is
nice to have innumerable
pairs of shoes so that you
don’t have to think of this, but
a wise giri always gives the
type of shoes she buys first
consideration.
The foremost essentia) in
purchasing shoes is to decide
at the beginning of the season
what colior will predominate
in your warbrohe. Suppose you
select brown. Then, you think
of the various blends that can
be effectively worn with
brown, and in this case, the
colon would be green, blue,
rust and purple.
The stores are showing . in-
numerable shoe designs. All
are simple, neat in appear-
ance, and practical in their
adaptability to various cos-
tumes. I saw one pair of ahoes
that would certainly simplify
worries. The shoes were a
combination of brown suede
and kid, and boasted amedium
heel, and a small buckle at
the front whieh brought. the
kid belting at the top of the
shoes to a surprising finish.
They would fit in nicely with
either dressy or semi-sport
frocks.
For walking, girls at Texas
State College for Women
(CIA) suggest a brown and
gray kilt top oxford with
square toe and heel—notes of
special significanse for this
season. This shoe gives the
newest of color combinations,
and offers sn opportunity to
wear another color with
brown.
Huge buckles are being
used for winter trimmings.
These buckles appear in com-
bination with wide straps that
fasten at the side, and are
mounted bn the front of the
shoe in order to give a buflt-
iup front. Military braid is a
smart trimming for suede
shoes.

EZRA’S MISSION TO
JERUSALEM
Lesson for December 1st
Ezra .7:6-10
Golden Text: Ezra 8:22
The historical value of the
bock of Ezra is very great for
it is the principal source for
ou’ knowledge of that signifi-
cant period in th? history of
the Hebrew people from their
original return from Babylon
to their fatherland to the ar-
rival at Jerusalem of a second
band of exiles under Ezra.
Here we read of the glorious
fulfillment of the prophet pre-
dkiton that the exiles would
be restored to their own dear
country after 60 years. We
watch the people aa they build
their Second Temple, and note
their intense devotion to the
Mostsc Law whieh Ezra read
to them to effectively. And we
rejoice in Ezra himself, a true
patriot, deeply devoted to
God, active in good works.
While not one of the most
appealing characters la the
Bible, Ezra’s emphasis upon
the Law, and hla burning zeal
to have it loyally obeyed, is to
be heartily commended in the
undisciplined America of to-,
day. For we have the reputa-
tion of being the moat lawtesa
folk in the world. One out of
every 42 persons, by a conser-
vative estimate, in these Unit-
ed States has a criminal rec-
ord. And there are 10,000
public enemies whose capture
is only possible by armed men.
Many of these are young men.
In fact it is a sad commentary
on our nurtures of youth that
20 per cent of all the crimes in
America are committed by
persons of 20 years and less.
And we must abandon the fool-
ish notion that most of our
crime can be laid at the door
of aliens. A careful check
shows that tha white Ameri-
can criminals exceed by 74 per
cent the foreign-born. And we
must not forget that some of
our most dangerous anti-social
foes are women. With such a
record it is high time we con-
sider the basic necessity of
law and law observance. Were
Ezra now alive be could rea-
der a real service fa our
modern setting.
Another reason why we
would like to live Ufa over
again is because we could
make a new lot of mistakes.—

WHOOPING COUGH—PERTUSSU3 I
Bad company for the young-
sters—and not by any means
good for the grown-ups. As
old as the hills, its cause is
still an undiscovered element,
perhaps because it has not
been considered a serious
menace to the life of the child.
I have known many families in
the earlier day that paid little
attention to the disease among
the little ones, so they just
"whooped it out” until re-
covery came—somehow.
Whooping-cough is contagi-
ous. I would fee! better if it
were quarantined, in the hope
of blotting it out. It may in-
deed produce derangement of
the air-passages in the lungs,
dilate them and leave the lung
abnormal until the effects are
outgrown.
Very few remedies outside
of nursing do any good. A lit-
tle of some sedative cough-
syrup should be administered
to quiet, if possible, the par-
oxysms and lessen their force.
Feed the child „ ■>od, easily-
digested, nourishing food. You
cannot "break up” whooping-
cough. The best you can do is
to let it run it* course. Once
over with it, the patient is con-
sidered immune from further
attack.
An old remedy that has not
been disproves is quinine. A
good quinine ointment, ten
grains to the ounce of benz-
oinated lard, and spread on a
cloth aa a plaster, may be laid
or worn on the child’s chest.
Change it every two days. It
has been proven, I think, that
this tends to prevent dilatation
of the air-passages and, conse-
quent weakening of the struc-
tures composing the breathing
apparatus.
Sedative cough syrups may
contain bromide, or tincture of
red onion, or a humulus,
(hops) or very minute doses of
ipecac. But not enough to
nauseate.
Keep the little one in out of
bad weather or night air. Vio-
lent exercise will aggravate
the paroxysms. Forbid it Keep
the little sufferer quiet. See
your family doctor often,—
and do the best you can.
