It is a mighty little man or a mighty poor one who will

citizen of the county is benef itted by the publication of a
worthy paper, whether he subscribes for it or not. But
a county with no large town in it to furnish advertising
business can not publish the kind of paper the county
should have without the support of the people in gen

Mr. Santa has owned his pure bred
animal, 80 cows have been bred to

had been sired by a native scrub.

in the baby’s thigh.
Recovering her composure, Han

About your
Health
Things You Should Know
by Jchn Joseph Gaines, M. D.
HYDROPHOBIA
An ancient term, but one which
comes before us every now and
then, with an acuteness that pales
the face with terror. In its lit
eral meaning, hydrophobia is “dread
|of water,” as “photophobia” is
j dread of light. All “phobias” hi i
j medical ’anguage are “dreads”. J
“Rabies” —a shorter word, has its
| origin in “rage”—madness—from
the French, hence, “mad-dog.”
Other animals than the dog are
susceptible to rabies, the Torse, the
cow, the cat —and the rode its, rats,
mice, etc.; it has been suggested
that the bite of the skunk may be
followed by hydrophobia. The ooi-;
son is one of the most active
known, and, until the discovery of
the Pasteur treatment, its pres
ence spelled certain death.
Something may be said here ,
that wall prove of value to my
reader; if your pet suddenly shows!
signs of illness, you should at i
once put him into an absolutely j
safe isolation, and summon s!
skilled veterinary doctor. If youi ]
little dog begins to act strangely
—shows no sign of affection foi
you—hides himself —trembles, as if
excited or suffering, you cannot b(
too active in precaution; let rm
■ repeat, better be safe than sorry.
In the very unfortunate event of
your being bitten by r a dog, bear’in
mind that a bite through clothing
is many times less liable to be fol
lowed by infection than one on £
bare surface. Another point: Th(
dog that bites you should be im
prisoned and watched to see if hi
is actually diseased; to kill him ant
burn his body is to destroy valu
able evidence.
The so - called “mad - stone,
known in rural communities, ha
no known scientific value, an
should not be depended upon; case
of reported “cures” by it were nc
hydrophobic to begin with. One oi
the brightest stars in the crown oi
scientific medicine is its masterj
r»f this dread infection. 1

5 H. H. Has Love—But Little Cash
Dear Miss Flo:
I have been going with a won
derful girl for almost two years,
while we have often talked of mar
-1 riage, I have hesitated at an im
mediate wedding. Consequently,
she believes that I do not love her—
that I am playing with her. The
fact of the matter is, I am not sure
of myself, I a mnot sure that I
can support a wife, because my
salary is quite small. We have
never talked over the financial end
of the subject, so I dont suppose my
swetheart has the slightset idea
of how very small my salary is.
I have tried several times to tell
her, but somehow, my courage al
ways fails me. I may be rather
sentimental, but it seems to me
jDiapepsm Keeps
Appetite Young
j
If you have to force yourself to
eat, and invariably get indigestion,
sluggish headaches, and you are
losing weight, excessive acidity is
ruining your stomach.
This excess acid sours your food, j
turns it into sopr bile and foul gas- j
es, and you .are epnstautly nervous
and upset.
Thousands of people credit their j
good health and young appetite to j
Pape’s Diapepsin. It dissolves the |
acids and sweetens the stomach so :
you can eat any thing you want.
That’s why 5 million packages are
sold every year. Chew one or two
of the tablets after meals, and you
will never have indigestion, or be
bloated.
All drug stores have Pape’s Dia

But in that case it seems that he should have a contribu- ■

i the question of money should never
enter into the question of love, i
| Then, too, if she knows how darn
. | small my salary is, lam afraid she !
. i will want to break-off. She has J
.! a very good position, and while I
. jdo not know what her salary is, I
t ! do knew that she always buys the
. j best of everything. Therefore, I
»J am quite sure I could not support
, her and keep a home on my earn
ings. That is, I couldnt support
r her as well as she is supporting
; herself. When I tell hei that we
I cannot get married for at least an
- other year or two, she tells me that
_ if I loved her, I wouldnt want to
wait. I dont want to, but what’s
[ a fellow going to do?
—H. H.
■
Well, H. H. you do have your
troubles, dont you? and of course,
the only thing you can do is to talk
things over with this wodnerful
girl. If she is as wonderful as you
think, and we hope for your sake
that she is, she will understand,
' I and perhaps if she likes her po
! sition, she will want to continue
j working after the wedding, in or
der to hasten the happy day. As
! for breaking off because of your ;
small salary, if money means that i
j much to her, it would be the wisest 1
thing that could happen.
You know, H. H. there is no
telling what women will do. You
| 1 hink she has no idea of how small j
! your salarv is, but I have a hunch
j
1 that if she has known you for two I
yaers she knows more about your
business affairs than you have any j
idea she does. Naturally she can’t
tell you about it. That’s your job.
In the first place there is a
world of difference between two
of your statements. Not being
able to support a wife at all, and ;
not being able to support her in
the way she has been accustomed
to, are two different things. If
you are unable to support her, you
would be nothing less than a cad;
jto marry her. But if you are
! able to support her, even though
| it be on a smaller scale, I see no j
| reason why you shouldnt marry j
j her, telling her, of course, just how!
I ihings stand. If she loves you, she
may be willing to, take a chance. |
To a sentimental, romantic, per
son it may be a shock to be told
that every girl should know the
amount of her future husband’s
pay shecks. Common sense and
self-interest demand that a couple

riage. It is a great deal better to
talk money befor marriage than
to learn after marriage that you

i am not advocating that a man
should not marry until he can sup
port a wife in luxury. In fact, I
think a few bumps will do a lot to

a couple to marry on. Marriage,
however, does mean making a home

ned while in 1925 the ginnings were
44.2 per cent of the crop and in
1 1925 they were 33.2 per cent.
Prospects during September de
clined to the extent of 14,000. This
decline was due, according to the
crop reporting board, to raiqs and
insects in Oklahoma and Texas,
and the boll weevil in the Carolinas.
In Texas the loss in prospective
production as compared with la
month ago amounted to 270,000
bales, in Oklahoma 35,000 bales, in
North Carolina 26,000 bales and in
South Carolina 24,000 bales.
These losses were offset by gains
in Georgia with 50,000 bales; Ala
bama with 118,000 bales, Mississip
pi with 150,000 bales; Louisiana
with 23,000 bales and Arkansas
with 50,000 bales. In those states
warm and fairly dry weather pre
vailed benefitting the crop.
