combe you read about the farmer
sitting on his front piaza and watch-
ing his crops grow is permitted only
by poetic license, and exists in very
little degrees where there is a mort-
gage lifting stunt to be pulled off or
where the farmer is interested in-
adding to his bank account.
And this year is going to be a year
especially when strenuous work is
going to count. It will take real
work and intelligent work to make a
crop this year. Still the man who
strives should profit immensely. *
The Herald today issues its official
bulletin No. 77642513 and asserts
that Palestine has the finest looking
and most intelligent graduating class
this year of any school, beginning at
Palestine and going all the way
round and back to the place of be-
ginning.

A WORTHY ACHIEVEMENT.
The Herald takes pleasure in con-
tributing its part of a bouquet to the
men who hustled until they secured
sufficient funds to buy the Phillips
tract as a permanent home for a

Alvarado Man Gets Appetite and
Comfort Back After Taking
First Dose.
T. A. Hensley of Alvarado, Texas,
suffered for a long time from de-
rangements of the digestive tract. He
had colic attacks and indigestion. His
liver was inactive and he was in pain
after eating.
He took Mayr’s Wonderful Stom-
ach Remedy. From the very first
dose it brought swift results. He
wrote:
‘‘I have taken your treatment for
stomach trouble and consider it a
Godsend to suffering humanity. I
have been suffering from stomach
troubles for a long time, such as colic
attacks, bloating after eating, sick
spells, indigestion, constipation and
inactive liver and gall stones. Now
I do not feel like the same man. I
can cheerfully commend this remedy
to all stomach sufferers.”
Mr. Hensley’s experience is typical
of those of the thousands who have
taken Mayr’s W’onderful Stomach
Remedy with such success. The first
l dose proves.
Mayr’s W’onderful Stomach Rem-
edy clears the digestive tract of
mucoid accretions and removes pois-
onous matter. It brings quick relief
to sufferers from stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Many declare it has
saved them from dangerous opera-
tions and many are sure that it has
saved their lives.
The remarkable success of this
remedy has caused many imitators, so
be cautious. Be sure it’s Mayr’s.
Probably it is known /among your
own neighbors. Ask them. Go to
City Drug Store, 210 Main St., and
ask about the wonderful results it
has been accomplishing in cases they
know—or send to Geo. H. Mayr, Mfg.
Chemist, 154-156 Waiting SL, Chicago,
111., for free book on stomach ail-
ments and many grateful letters from
people who have been restored. Arty
druggist will tell you its wonderful
effects. 11-8C Adv.
Lifted Up Her Voice
(By Associated Press.)
London, May 28.—A French mili-
tant suffragette carrying a bag full
of stones was arrested today at the
national art gallery, where she
smashed three windows. She shouted
continually when brought into court,
and refused to give her name. She
told the magistrate she did not want
to hear anything, and was remanded
for a further hearing.
Munsey Calls On
Colonel Roosevelt
(By Associated Press.)
Oyster Bay, May 28— Frank A.
Munsey, progressive leader in 1912,
called on Colonel Roosevelt today.
Munsey was the man who after the
campaign launched a movement to
amalgamate the republican and pro-
gressive parties. Munsey came out
here today with George W. Perkins.
Roosevelt expected other political
leaders during the day.
