Lawrenceburg, Ky.—Mr. J.

I would j have dizziness and couldn’t work. “I would take pills until I waa worn-out with them. I didn’t seem to get relief. After taking the pills my bowels would act a couple or three times, then I would be very constipated. “A neighbor told me of Black- Draught and I began its use. I never have found so much relief ’ as it gave me. I would not ba without it for anything. “It seemed to cleanse my whole system and make me feel like new. I would take a few doses —get rid pf the bile and have my usual clear head, feel full of ‘pep’ and could do twice the work.” »One cent a dose. • NC-161 JIL- 1 ■" - 1 ■ - ■■■ Profits depend upon the yield of crop* from your acres tA pound of Cotton, Tobacco, Com or other crops, from HIGH YIELDING ACRES carry less of cost of land, seed, cultivation, etc., than from Low Yielding Acres, because there are more pounds to ■ share the Cost.

X Practically all of the swan popu lation of eastern North America concentrates for winter quarters on Chesapeake Bay., Md.; Back Bay, Va.. and Currituck Sound, N. C., and adjacent waters, says the department. Here they can be counted with rea sonable accuracy, and the experts found a total of 14,567. The greatest number was found on the Chesapeake Bay. including the Susquehanna flats, where 6,!)20 were I counted. On Back Bay, Va., 2,016 were observed, and on the Potomac River, near its junction with the Chesapeake, 169 were counted during the same census. This is the first fairly complete census of these birds the survey has been able to rnqke. says the bulletin, and, for this reason, little can be said with certainty as to their in crease or decrease. There is little doubt, however, it adds, that the swans hav ebecome bolder in the pres ence of man, as a natural result of the protection given them over a ten year period which will expire in De cember. 1926. Under the provisions of the iaw, the closed season will continue after the ten-year term until regulations are promulgated by the President allowing an open season during which these birds may "be hunted. The greater familiarity of the birds has brought them into feeding areas formerly little used by them, such as shooting ponds on club preserves, and the department has received com plaint of their consuming large quan tities of wild duck foods, even the entire visible supply in some cases. This, however, it in pointed out, does not Aiean the destruction of the food I supply, for seeds and rootstocks al t ways remain in sufficient quantity to renew the stand next season. Swans compete for food with shoal water ducks, not with deep-water ducks, but tlic department says that, , so far as lias been observed they Slave » caused no permanent injury to the ex tensive wild fowl resorts they fre f quent. The clearing of vegetation I out of shooting ponds by swans is not I an important factor from a sporting point of view as on ponds frequently , shot over ill this rtgion, baiting is often resorted to to keep duefcj com -1 ing to them. Careful observations of these birds is to be continued by the government, it is stated, and annual counts of their numbers are planned. AMUNDSEN VISITS DR. COOK IN PRISON Former Shipmates in Antarctic Joke Together and Recall Dangers They Endured. Leavenworth, Kan.. Jan. 21.—For three-quarters of an hour this after noon Captain Roald Amundsen, Arc tic explorer, and Dr. Frederick A. Cook, now an inmate of the federal prison here, former ship surgeon on one of Captain Amundsen’s expedi tions, joked and recalled their experi ences together fighting ice packs in the frozen wastes. Their conversation was in private and Captain Amundsen declined to say one word about his friend. “Not a word, net a word about Dr. Cook.” he told reporters. And that was final. Capt. Amundsen drew a red-bound book from his pocket and presented it to Dr. Cook. The book was a copy of Captain Amundsen's “The Polar Flight.” For two years Captain Amundsen and Dr. Cook were dose companions, and this comradeship was written on their faces when they met. It was a friendship born in perils of ice when men lost their reason and only the stoutest hearts held on, determined to wrest the secret of those unknown wilds or die trying. Capt. Amundsen was first mate of the Belgian expedition to the South |Fole, which sailed in 1897. Dr. Cook “was a ship’s surgeon oil this trip. : Tile expedition returned in 1899 and j the men parted, but their friendidiip j endured. Upon their return from the I South Pole expedition. Capt. Amund-. - j sen and Dr. Cook were received by i the Belgian king, decorated and made i chevaliers of the Order of Leopold. , Capt. Amundsen and Dr. Cook next ' 1 met at Copenhagen, upon the return . of Dr. Cook with his declaration that - he had discovered the North Pole. ' They met again in Norway. That was their last association until today at i the federal prison where Cook is serv ‘, ing fourteen years for his oil opera ■ I tions in Texas. i In actions the two resembled each • other while chatting. The same fire ; flashed from their eyes and the same i squint was in their features. In other ways they were totally dissimilar. ■ Capt. Amundsen, bronzed by the sun i and winds and biting frosts, Dr. Cook, . with the pallor that comes to all pris ; oners not employed in the open. Capt. Amundsen declined to com ‘ ment when asked whether he thought • the privations suffered by Dr. Cook - while on their explorations might E have affected his mind. WANTS STATE BEHIND !

Jan. 20.—Suggestion that a special session of the North i Carolina General Assembly be called i by Governor McLean to appropriate i funds for the purchase of the North | Carolina part of the Great Smoky . Mountains National Park was made . here today by Mark Squires, chair , man of the State Park Commission. Mr. Squires' suggestion was not , made officially by him. but merely as j a statement of the sentiment of many . people 'with whom lie has conferred , with regard to the park. He stated that a number of peo ple have said to him that m their f opinion the State ought to officially get behind the park and that the j people of the whole State ought to pay for it. An appropriation has been made by the Tennessee Legis lature, he said, with the condition | that the City of Knoxville pay a 1 certain part In the purchase of 80.- ' 000 acres of land upon which an option has been secured. ’ Mr. Squires said that he was in Washington merely to confer with members of the State delegation in 1 Congress regard to the eam • pnign for* funds for the park in North Carolina. Accompanied by State Democratic Chairman John G. Dawson, who is here on legal busi ness. he visited the members of the f delegation. Mr. Squire* stated that lie would ! not ask Governor McLean to call a ’ special session. . MRS. HARRISON GETS ANNULMENT PAPERS . Schoolfleld Girl Who Was Forced I Into Marriage is Given Back Her > .Maiden Name. Danville, Va.. Jan. 21 —Mrs. Leora ■ Melton Harrison girl bride of Lonnie i Harrison became single, legally, to day and was restored her maiden > name by Judge Kegley sitting in the • Pittsylvania oircuit court, who wrote i an order annulling the marriage of the Schoolfleld girl. She says that . Harrison, infnnnted with her. held a ! revolver trained on her during their marriage last November at School field. Rev. S. C. Owen, who married them thought the girl's tears were prompted by joy instead of fear. , Harrison is back in jail. He finds it difficult to give the SI,OOO bond which has been set by Judge Kegley \ because of his experience of Tuesday night when he is alleged to have at tempted once more to abduct his bride, thereby forfeiting he $1,500 bond which two Schoolfieid friwids put up for him. The jury which tried him for marriage under com pulsion yesterday could not agree and discharged from service. Mud in the Senate. Asheville Citizen. We have with us always the man who. when he can not defeat a splendid undertaking by argument, resorts to the low business of the as sault through mud-slinging. We have him even in the Senate of the United Btates. Henrik Shipstend. Farmer- Labor Senator from Minnesota, is under the misapprehension mat. sipee he can not deny the nobility of the idea of the world court, lie can discredit it by impugning the motives of those supporting it- ’ Taking the floor on Wednesday with n prepured speech, he declared that the United States should not go into the World Court because it is the creation of international fi nanciers who want it to maintain the value of their securities. The kifld of mind that believes it can get anywhere by throwing mud is the kind of mind that believes a fi nancier is a crook because he is a ' fifiancier. Sir. Shipstead's position is a con fession and a prophecy; a confession that his view of world affairs is somewhat circumscribed, a prophecy that his tribe. Farmer-Labor will not increase. Woodrow Wilson was not, even in the ugliness of the Bhipstead imagi nation, an “international financier.” Hudreds of others who have labored for the World Court here and abroad would have a hard time ex hibiting bank accounts that would label hem financiers of any descrip-] tion. Moreover, financiers have put over many of the world's finest pro jects. They are, in spite of Mr. Ship stesd. a powerful lot- They are. also of Mr. Bhipstead, capable of -seeing a great vision and of undertaking a great reform. Besides, this Minnesota Senator, if he knows anything at all. knows that it is essential for the finances of the world to be put on a sound basis. Without money, the powers would be as crippled as would Mr. Shipstead without his property and salary. If the World Court helps to kelp the nations financially prosperous, it will do a good, not an evil, work. Nor An it be deprived of American membership by Mr. Shipetead’s pre tense that, because it helps to as sure, prosperity, it can do no other good thing. A design by a young high school s'ri, Miss Margaret Overbeck, has been adopted for the official flag of the city of Denver. THE CONCORD DAILY TRIBUNE . ' *;?!!C5 f l ?'
