A LOSS TO THE WORLD
NEW
Ormond
newly
We are stunned and unable
to realize that the inimitable
Will Rogers and intrepid fly-
er, Wiley Post, are no more,
their lives being snuffed out
in a 50-foot fall near Point
Barrow within the Arctic Cir-
cle last Thursday night as
they were leisurely flying
about on a vacation.
Post, born in Van Zandt coun-
ty and a citizen of Oklahoma,
was regarded as one of the
world’s most famous flyers,
having encircled the globe
twice in his monoplane “Win-
nie Mae”, once a solo flight
and having performed many
other feats.
Will Rogers, a native son of
Claremore, Okla., was one of
the world’s greatest humor
isits. In ordinary dress and
vernacular of the cowboy he
associated with kings and rul-
ers ah well as the common
people and was loved for his
homely philosophy and sympa
ticles, radio talks and pictures
tides, radio talks and ictures
had made him an idol of the
American people as well as
many other peoples of the
world.
It is putting it mildly to say
we ana shocked at their sud-
den and untimely deaths. It
is a great loss to the world,
but we must accept ft, if we

Williams (above;, is the
ike ted president of the
National Federation of Business and
Professional Women ’s Clubs. She was
horn and educated in Tennessee, is
past president of the National Edu-
cation Association and the winner of
many high college honors.
Underpinning the house is one of
them. She reports that is is be
ing done by yard demonstrators
with various types of locally avail-
able material. Native rocks in
West Texas; native pine in East
Texas, willow sticks in some places
Dry goods boxes are good in any
place, too.

dents, butt it would also work
an injury to rural districts
and aid the city schools.
The old age pension id a
Willey! proposal of merit. We favor
a pension for the needy who
have attained the age of 65
years, but only those who are
in actual need. The amend-
ment makes no provision for
the large sum that would be
required to pay the pension,
and as the already over-taxed
people would (have to bear it,
we doubt the wisdom of a-
dopting the amendment in its
present form.
Identifying, studying, marking
and trenching native shrubs for
later transplanting into yards is
a natural summer picnic job.

Equipping outdoor living rooms
is a job to do now while the need
for them Is felt more fully than at
any other season. Tables, benches,
fireplaces, swings, see saws, arbors
eandpiles, pools and trellises all
have found use in yard demonstra-
tors’ out door living rooms.
Preparing for fall planting is an-
other sumlmer time yard job com-
mended by Miss Jacks. Planting
peas to turn under, she recom-
mends as a good way to get Uie
ground in shape.
Jerusalem artichoke, a weed
long regarded as a worthless
and detested nuisance put on
the farm, is now acclaimed a
most remarkable plant and a
potential producer of very val-
uable products, according to
chemists who have been ex-
perimenting with it. It is a
member of the sunflower fam-
ily and grows in all pants of
the country, is very hardy
and not subject to ravages of
insects so far as known, and
has scant regard to soil or
(weather conditions. Indus-
can bring ourselves to realize tHa] chemists> probing the in-
ner secrets of the tubers have
that no more will we read of
Wiley Post’s exploits and Will
Rogers’ kind voice over the
air.
LEGISLATURE ERRED
The voters go to the polls
next Saturday to approve or
disprove seven amendments
to the State Constitution'.
There are many people who
believe state prohibition is a
mistake, but it is doubtful if
there are many who believe
that it would be wise to re-
peal the law without some law
to control liquor selling. It
ia true the amendment pro-
vides that territory formerly
dry under the local option law
shall be dry, but the legis-
lature failed to provide any
penalty for its violation, and
therefore1 selling could be done
over any counter or on the
street in any quantity and at
any time until the legislature
discovered that they are pro-
lific sources of levulose, the
sweetest of sugars, and indus-
trial alcohol. A plant so eas-
ily grown which produces pro-
lific yields of these products
is worthy of the attention of
agriculturists and Industrial-
ists.

Why continue to endure it? Try Dr. Miles
Anti-Pain Pills for Headachy, Neuralgia,
Muscular, Rheumatic, Sciatic, and Periodic
Pains. They seldom fail.
Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are pleasant to
take and prompt to act. They do not upset
the stomach, cause constipation or leave you
with a dull, depressed feeling.
Ask your druggist or any of tho hundreds of
thousands enthusiastic users. Probably you
too can find relief.

Mrs. Jennie Neill,
Coronado. Calif.
The detective could not decide
whether to believe the story or not.
“Do you know whether Mrs.
Keith ever visited Allerton, Indi-
ana?” Abruptly Rankin shifted the
subject.
The other shook his head. “Al-
lerton? Certainly not in the four
years since we met; before that,
shf may have been there. She
never mentioned it. . . Why do you
ask?”
I found an empty bottle with an
old label from a hospital in that
town in her medicine closet. It bad
contained pyramidon.”
Rankin bent toward him to em-
phasize the importance of his next
question.
“Isn’t it a fact, Mr. Keith, that in
spite of your liberal allowance and
income, your wife was always
pressed for funds?’’
Mortimer Keith looked startled,
ffow could you guess that, Ran-
Ein?” he exclaimed. “It’s true she
^worried about money, and often ap-
proached me for more, for charities
and clothes. Once I questioned her
about it, and she made some vague
excuse about losing k in stocks.”
“Perhaps this will explain her ex-
penditures,” Rankin said, “these
check-stubs and canceled checks.”
As he studied them, Mr. Keith’s
lips tightened yito a formidable line,
and his eyes flashed in features
darkened by a swift anger.
"Steady payments like this for
two years,” he cried harshly, at last,
“as if she were being blackmailed to
prevent me from learning some se-
cret about her!”
“They ®certainly suggest that,”
Rankin said, in disappointed tones.
“You had no knowledge of them or
to whom or for what reason she
, drew them?”
“No, this is my first inkling of
them.”
“Were you aware, sir, that Mrs.
Keith would be a witness in the
Rowland divorce suit in Mr. Daw-
son’s office, yesterday?”
Mr. Keith shook his head. “Not
until I read where she met her
death.”
“Had you any idea,” Rankin
asked, “how she happened to
accompany young Rowland, two
weeks ago, and be in a position to
give evidence for him?”
“I still don’t understand how she
ever permitted herself to become in-
volved in such a vulgar public scan-
dal I” the manufacturer rasped out.
“Did you know Mrs. Keith was
going out that Wednesday night at
all?” ^
“Yes, she was to visit her physi-
cian, who attends her when her
'keadaches become particularly vi-
f sous. Dr. Anton Brantman on

“Then, Mr. Keith, what was your
connection with the Rowland di-
vorce action?’’
At the abruptness with which the
detective shot this question the
other gazed at him in perplexity and
surprise.
“My connection?" he repeated
wondcringly. “I don’t follow you,
Rankin; I haven’t the slighest inter-
est in it.”
Rankin’s voice rang with the
rigor he put into his unexpected
eftensive.,
“In that case,” he demanded,
‘what were you doing at Sunset
Inn, the evening of February first—
phen Mrs. Rowland discovered her
kusband in compromising relations
vith her secretary there?”
If it was Tommy Rankin’s inten-
lon to startle the manufacturer by
iis sudden query, he succeeded ad-
nirably.
“How in the world did you find
hat out?” he finally asked in a dry
toice.
Rankin saw no harm irf answer-
ng. “It came out at the hearing
