stopped by vaccination. L. E. Watklns
acclnated nine head of Jersey cattle
nnd J. W. Damron living east of Wat-
klns a little piece vaccinated seven

lieved makes the animal forever Im-

hog mange among his stock which

C. W. Scruggs who occupies the
Frank Lewis farm five miles north-

and for general pasture purposes. Five
acres of It seeded a few years ago
furnished pasture for fifteen head of
hogs besides the calves and work
stock and then goes to seed. The hogs
fatten to fine condition with no other
feed than the clover. Mr. Scruggs
is planting twelve more acres this
year which he will use for hay.

BUMPS PROPOSED
TO FORCE AVTOISTS
TO SLOW DOWN
Des Moines Iowa Jan. 31.
Speeding autoista in Iowa will
go up in the air at railroad
crossings if a bill introduced in
the State Senate today becomes
law. It provides for "humps"
in highways a short distance
each side of the tracks and is
for the purpose of making auto-
mobile drivers approach slowly
and thus reduce chance of acci-
dents. The humps would be of con
crete full width of the road-
way six inches high and with a
10-inch slant placed from 50 to
iuu feet from the railroad
track. Durant Democrat.
Great many folks get to liv
ing to fast because thev can
buy it on time the deeper they
get in debt the faster they live
and the faster they live the
deeper they get in debt.
Why don't you at least try
paying cash for your groceries
pay less and pay as you go.

Writing in Durant Daily
Democrat Feb. 7th Mr. W. E.
Creath Pres. and Gen. Mgr. of I
the Blue Oil Co. who has just
struck oil in Bryan county '
says "I believe it wise at this
time to warn those who do hot
know the business to stay out." '
' Every time we see a derrick
going up Tom Dick and Harry
and everybody expects to be-
come a "coal oil Johnnie" over
night but about all most of 'em ge"t is
"Creosote on the seat of their
breeches" setting around on drilling
timbers waiting for their "gusher to
come in."
Same thing is true of "Prune Ped-
dling" ninety-five per cent of all re-
tail grocers finally go broke. Take it
from "Yours Truly" if you don't know
the grocery business you'd better stay
out after a fellow fights "advertising
