Community Co-Operation.
(Copyrighted Farm and Ranch-Hol-
land’s Magazine.)
'Tis an old saying, but true enough
to repeat, that an individual gets out
of the community no more than he or
she puts into it. Selfishness is, there-
fore, the most effective bar to our
happiness. Each of us should and
must be willing for every other per-
son in our community to enjoy some
of the fruits of our individual labor
and sacrifice; we receive in return,
however, the benfits of our labor and
sacrifice multiplied by the number of
co-operating neighbors we have. Thus
by each contributing our share of la-
bor, money or patronage we share in
the general, benefits and advantages
resulting from the united effort of
all of us.
No person is apt to look upon
schools, churches, parks, pavements,
etc., as commercial. We rather con-
sider them as institutions as better
off if kept out of commercial and po-
litical influence. However, we must
remember at all times that these ad-
vantages are to a large extent made
possible, and maintained by the busi-
ness interests of the community of
which the retail store is a dominant
factor. Consequently, the prosperity
of local retail merchants has much ef-
fect upon these community blessings
and, therefore, it is to our best inter-
ests to patronize local stores when-
ever possible.
Your home merchants are an insep-
arable part of your community life.
They can serve you to as good advan-
tage as anyone else anywhere, and it
is to your interest in dollars and
cents to trade with them, all things
being equal.
Six Barrels of Whiskey a Year Used
At the Home.
Austin, Texas, Nov. 10.—Investi-
gation into the affairs of the state
department of insurance and banking
by the legislative investigating com-
mittee now in progress, resulted in
the announcement today by Senator
Smith, a member of this committee,
that he will recommend in his report
that deposits in the bank guaranty
fund be placed at interest together
with other funds in the state treas-
ury.
The committee investigating the
state purchasing agents department
and the Confederate home today
heard Miss Vaughan, until recently
stewardess at the Confederate home,
who told of the methods at the home.
She said that about six barrels of
whiskey was used at the home annu-
ally; that there were little variations
of the food, and the clothing’ supplied
the inmates was of inferior quality.
In answer to a question she said there
was only one German employed at the
home, and he seemed to be very loyal
to this country.

DIZZY JjPELLS
Relieved After Taking Two Bottles
Of Cardui, Says Tennessee
Lady.
Whit-well, Tenn.—Mrs. G. P. Cart-
wright, of this place, writes: “About
four years ago the dizzy spells got so
bad that when I would start to walk
I would just pretty near fall. I wasn’t
past doing my work, but was very
much run-down.
I told my husband I thought Cardui
would help me, as a lady who lived
next door to me had taken a great
deal, and told me to try it. This was
when we were living in Kentucky.
My husband got me a bottle and I
took it according to directions. It
helped me so much that he went back
and got me another bottle. I got a
whole lot better and just quit taking
it. I got over the dizzy spells... I took
no other medicine at that time nor
since for this trouble. No, I’ve never
regretted taking Cardui.
I felt just fine when I finished the
eecond bottle.”
Purely vegetable, mild and gentle
in its action, Cardui, the woman’3
tonic, may be the very medicine you
need. If you suffer from symptoms of
female troubles, give Cardui a trial.

Cottonseed Stores for Tex. Stockmen
Houston, Texas, Nov. 12.—Approx
imately 20,000 tons of cottonseed cake
belonging to Danish and other neutral
country interests, stored at Galves-
ton and Port Arthur is to be seized by
the United States Food Administra-
tion, to be rushed to the drouth strick
en areas of Texas to relieve the cattle
feed famine. Confirmation of this
step is contained in a telegram from
E. B. Spiller, secretary of the Cattle
Raisers Association of Texas, to local
cattle raisers, reading:
“Food administration preparing to
seize and make available for sale and
prompt shipment to drouth area 20
000 tons of cottonseed cake now stor-
ed in Galveston and Port Arthur, and
prevented from export by the presi
dent’s embargo. Please confer im-
mediately with stockmen and tele-
graph us amount they will take at
prevailing price and to be later re-
funded on basis of price government
fixes for cake.”
Herbert Goodwin, assistant food
administrator, says he knows nothing
of the report. Federal Food Adminis-
trator Peden arrives in Houston Tues-
day morning from a cenference in
Washington where the issue of cot-
tonseed was one of the principal sub-
jects of discussion.

“Professor Snffrem? I see by you
sign that you offer to impart in c.:
lesson an infallible system for reinm
boring names,” said the abseutm!nd<.
victim. “Quite so—payment in -d
vance,” replied the professor. And, nf
ter pocketing the victim’s live, lie ex-
plained : “It’s this way : You greet a
man, but liis name eludes you. Ascer-
taining liis favorite soda fountain
beverage, you invite lhm to a nearby !'
drug store to hit one. While he is im-
bibing, you borrow the store’s city di-
rectory and rapidly run through el
glancing up at your acquaintance at av

Opportunity knocks at the door
more than once. She knocks at the
door of everybody, the rich and the
poor, the sick and the well.
Very often the poor man answers
the knock, but is unable to nurse the
situation, and therefore, nothing
fruitful is gained from her visit.
Sometimes opportunity comes to
the man who is ailing from a general
run-down system, a man unable to get
about with the vim he ought to for
one of his years. Opportunity does
not wait, but hastens to the door of
someone else who can greet her with
a smile and take advantage of her
proposition. She may come back to
the man who was dragging himself
around but unless he corrects his con-
dition the same thing is going to
happen.
The result of being unable to meet
an opportunity is just one step farth-
er down the hill. Being able to meet
an opportunity is a boost to the top.
If you have missed opportunities
because of a run-down, fagged out
system or you are si(ffering from
constipation, stomach trouble, sleep-
lessness, malaria, nervousness, or any
summer ills, we want you to try a
course of Pep Systemic Pills. These
pills contain all the elements to nour-
ish the nerves, produce rich, red
blood and make your liver active. It
will tone up your system and make
you feel like a new person.
Pep Pills are for sale by Hoffmann
Drug Co. and other live druggists.
Accept no substitute for these pills.

A Defense of Poetry.
Poetry is the record of the best and
happiest moments of the happiest and
best minds. We are aware of evanes-
cent visitations of thought and feeling
sometimes associated with place <
person, sometimes .regarding our ow
mind alone, tind always arising unfore-
seen and departing unbidden, but ele-
vating and delightful beyond all ex-
pression; so that even in the desire
and regret they leave, there cannot,
but be pleasure, participating as it
does in the nature of its object. It is,
as it were, the interpenetration of a
diviner nature through our own; but
'ts footsteps are like those of a wind
over the sea, which the coming calm
erases, and whose traces remain only
ns on the wrinkled sand which paves
It.—•Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Prehistoric Man.
The life habits of prehistoric man.
as well as his antiquity on earth, are
known almost entirely from fossil re-
mains of various sorts. The data, how-
ever, are wry scanty and insufficient
for strictly logical deductions. Tools
and hunting weapons, bones of tropi-
cal fauna and remains of man are
found in the gravel beds of western
Europe. Apparently man antedates
the glacial period as this tropical
fauna there was previous to the ice
age and because remains of glacial
fauna, together with human remains,
occur in later geological deposits. Thus,
the antiquity of man becomes a ques-
tion of the date of the ice age, and
that occurred 60,000 years ago at least.
The Implements of prehistoric man.
form a basis of a division of early in-
dustrial development into the ston®
age, the bronze age, and the iron age'.
