"I suffered day and night for the
,past three years with stomach trou-
ble. My gall bladder gave me serious
trouble and pain. A most severe
pain would strike me about two or
three o’clock in the morning and
would continue for hours. My en-
tire system was out of order. I was
so constipated I had to take laxa-
tives almost every night.
"I put off buying Sargon for
weeks, but read so many endorse-
ments for it from good people in
Ft. Worth that I bought some, and
it has worked wonderfully for me.
I would not believe such results
could be accomplished unless I had
had the experience myself. Those
terrible pains are gone and I sleep
the whole night through. My sto-
mach is right now and I eat what
I please. 1 am strong and feel twen-
ty years younger. My gall bladder
doesn’t bother me; my liver is ac-
tive, and I am no longer constipated.
*‘I feel it my duty to my fellow-
man to tell how Sargon has benefit-
ted me.’’
Sargon may be obtained in Co-
manche from Wm. Reese Drug Co.,
Inc., and Durham Pharmacy; in
Proctor from B. F. Stone; in Gus-
tine from I. Sadler and Co.; and in
Sipe Springs from ‘Smith’s Drug

that every orchard in it will be

■ Not only is the yield increased,

example of what proper
a native orchard will do.
Mr. Barton cited the experience of
N. T. Haskins of De I-eon. Mr. Has-
kins, he said, a few years ago
bought one hundred acres of pe-
can land at $25. per acre. He clear-
ed out the underbrush and cleaned
up the orchard which is now easily
worth a hundred and fifty dollars
per acre. In four years, according
to Mr. Haskins the sale of the nuts
paid for the farm and all work
done on the grove. The best yield
before clearing was 4,000 pounds,
but last year the yield was 28,000
an increase of 700 per cent.
‘ Urging the importance of orchard
cleaning, Mr. Barton said:
Did you know that native pecan
yields ' have been increased seven
tildes by Clearing out the under-
brush and thinning the pecans to a
stand. Now is the time to begin to
consider this matter as this should
be done in July or August. Before

A cat starved her kittens to
mother a litter of six young squir-
rels, according to Moses McCulley,
?fon of Mr. and Mrs. R. A. McCulley
who exhibited Tabby with her ad-
opted children at the Chie.f office
last week when hundreds of people
passed by to see the strange family
peacefully domiciled , in a cage.
Moses captured the squirrels when
only a few days old according to
Ms story and gave them to Tabby
to care for. which idle faithfully
did even to the extent of furnishing
them milk along with other food.
When her own kittens were julded
to the family n f?w days later she
showed a decided preference for her
adopted babies and so neglected her
own offsprings that they died of
starvation within a few days.

A county wide pecan growers
association will be organised at Co-
manche in thfr near future if the
ambition of County Agent J.. A.
Barton is realised.
Mr. Barton returned Tuesday
from Cisco where he attended a
meeting of the Brazos Valley Pecan
Growers Association and was brim
full of enthusiasm pver the possi-
bilities of the pecari industry in Co-
manche county which he says if
properly developed* can be surpassed
by but few, if any counties in the
State. Last yeafs Crop was easily
worth $100,000 he said, and this
can be doubted if the right methods
are followed.
When interviewed, Mr. Barton
stated that within - -the next few
weeks he intended to conduct a sur-
vey in every school district in the
county to ascertain the number of
acres of native pecans, what or-
chards have beer\ cleaned, and the
extent o*f grafting and budding.
Such a survey has already been
made by Supt. W. R. Heixer of
Comyn which shows that H. O. Geo-
rge has cleaned his orchard, but
has not grafted or budded. Other
reports are: Clarence Floyd, orchard
clean no grafting or budding; Otis
Ham, orchard cleaned; George South
all, orchard unimproved; Dal Merrit,
orchard cleaned; Willie George, or-
chard cleaned— Jimon Forst, or-
chard cleaned, trees budded and
grafted; Haskins and Adams, or=

Frank Barnes, orchard unimproved;
Shorty Shook, orchard unimproved:
W. Clarke, orchard cleaned budded
and grafted; Mrs. Hilton, orchard
budded but not cleaned; Tom Cook,
