WEATHER REPORT
FOR PAST WEEK
J HOUSTON. Texas. 'Sept. 7. The week
war. unseasonably hot. and mostly dry.
nlthough light to moderate showers oc-
curred at about one-sixth of the report-
I ing stations. Pastures and minor crops
continued to deteriorate in most sections
and their condition is rather poor.
Stock water is becoming scarce in por-
. tions of west Texas. The weather was
too dry for plowing and seeding but
ideal for haivesting matured«crops. and
corn gathering and rice threshing made
j excellent progress. Cotton continued
! to deteriorate in maw? sections although
| its progress was very good in some
| localities where there were recent rains.
The hot. dry weather held insects in
cheek but caused shedding and pre-
mature opening. The condit on of the
crop is spotted hut mostly rather poor
except in east and northeast Texag
where it ranges from fair to very good
due to a better distribution of the rain-
fall. Picking und ginning made excel-
lent progress. Dirt roads are mostly
in good condition although rough in
spots.
AMERICANS ASSIST
IN ACTIVITIES OF
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
I By The Associated Press.)
* GENEVA Sept 7.—WhiW*~thc
United States government has con-
sistently refrained from identifying
itself directly with the League of
j Nation-- it has not held aloof from
having its citizens cooperate in some
j of the League's activities. Five pro-
minent American* are now igtsociat-
••I with varying forms of the Lea-
gue’s work.
Om- of these is Professor John
: Bassett Moore who is a member o*
the recently-created Permanent
. Court of International Justice. An-
other is Dr. George Ellery Hale Di-
rector of the famous observatory on
Mount Wilson who has joined the
Committee of Intellectual Coopera-
tion. A third well-known Amer-
ican is Dr. Rupert Blue. Assistant
Surgeon-General of the United
States who is lending his valuable
skill and experience in public health
matters to the League’s Health Com-
mittee.
Two other American executives in
the League are women Mrs. Hamil-
j ton Wright one of the most valuable
members of the League’s Opium
Commission and Dr. Josephine Bak-
•r. of the International Health Com-
mittee. Finally on the various tech-
| .tical and clerical staffs of the Sec-
retariat of the League there arc
1 many Americans men and women
whose services are found extremely
valuable. In an effort further to
i enlist America’s interest and sup-
port in the League an invitation har
been sent to the Washington gov-j
i ernment to appoint a representative j
in the- League’s Commission for the I
Suppression of the White Slave Traf- j
fic\
Sir Eric Drummond Secretary-
j General of the Le ague of Nations is
hopeful that it will be possible fo:
I the League to work out a policy
whereby the United States properly;
! can cooperate in an increasing share
of the League’s activities without ;
j impairment to her own traditional j
policy of detachment from European
affairs.

RIP VAN WINKLE VILLAGE
BROUGHT TO LIFE BY THE
MOVIESNOW WIDEAWAKE
1 Hv The Associated Press)
SPRINGFIELD III.. Sept. 7.—
Bernadote a Rip Van Winkle town.
:s awakening from a century of sleep.
Like those souls living “on yonder
hill" above Spoon River who were
quickened into life by the imagina-
tion of Kdgar Lee Masters in his
| “Anthology.” the unperturbed in-
kabitants of this strange little village
on the same Spoon river have heen !
touched with life by the pen of a
newspaper writer.
Without telephones automobiles.
1 railroads or any modern convenien-
ces this town had gone on in its un-
| disturbed way for a hundred years
sleeping quietly in a busy world un-
; til r few days ago when it was “dis-
! covered” by a motion picture direc-
tor ami the next morning awoke to
fame with a column of type in a
Bloomington newspaper.
C. L. Yarnard. looking about fo;
a “location" to film a country town
scene ran across the village. It has
j po railroads and half the inhabitants
claim never to have seen a train. It
hus no picture shows and of course
had never seen a motion picture cam-
era. There are no telephones and
no electricity in the town. The old
village grist mill is still grinding
away every day with water from
the same spillway that supplied the
mill a century ago.
But now strange things ate hap-
pening in Bernadote. Big automo-
biles whizz through the village. There
is the unusual smell of oil and gaso-
line. The swirling dust from many
pneumatic tires distresses the be-
wildered inhabitants. Old ladies in
calico dresses no longer go their
quiet way to the village store and
long whiskered old men no longer
calmly whittle the hours away under
the village trees. Their nerves
twitch and the day is no longer calm.
The article describing the rustic
wonders of the superanuated village
has brought tourists from far and
wide.
About the town go unusual looking
men with cameras and stage appear-
ances. They are the moving picture
people who are going to put Berna
dote in the films. Bernadote is
sleep walking. Some of the oldest
inhabitants think it’s a nightmare.
Most of the folks of the town are
farmers. A few of the oldest are
considered to be retired. The oth-
ers work in the fields harvesting
crops from the same ground then-
fathers ami grandfathers tilled.
There are two small wooden build-
ings in the village that serve as stor-
i es where the simple wants of the
people are supplied. '1 he houses are
j quaint anil old fashioned of the old
! colonial and English type. Ticket
1 fences sepal ate the yard*. Old
I fashioned flowered -gardens bloom in
the dooryard*.

| Before Baby Comes !
THERE are thousands of expectant mothers who undergo
much useless suffering for months before as well as at the
moment when delivery cccurs. These months of suffering with
j nerves and vital organs weakened leave their effect upon the
child. An eminent physician found the way to stop much of this
i unnecessary suffering—the same easy way which thousands of
: moth%-s have used for three generations.
Mr*. Walter S. Hadley Rndgrport. Ind.. say*: "Before my little hoy
came 1 was so ps-alyxed in my hip* and limbs I could hardly walk and some
days after a little extra exeriion 1 couldn't w*lk a step. I frit it coming
[ an this time; in fact. I could hardly get up when I sal down but now. after
I using one bottle of Mother's Friend i am so much better. I feel that I
almost owe my life to Mother's Friend."
"Mother’s Friend” is applied externally to the abdomen hack and hips. It
penetrates remarkably permitting the easier relaxation and distension of
muscles nerves tissues and ligamcnt.i. and ihcir constant raster readjustment
during expectancy and at child-birth. Have no more fear or dread mother I
Start using "Mother's Friend” now—the sooner the better.
Mrs. C. J. Hartman. Scranton. Fa. says: "With my first two children I
had a doctor and a nurse and then they had to use instruments tut with
my last two children I used Mother's Friend and had only a nurse; we hvi no
i time to get a doctor because 1 wasn't very sick—only about ten or fifteen
l minutes."
"Mother’s Friend” contains no narcotic* or ha'rmful drugs. It Is safe. For
three generation* "Mother's Friend" ha* relieved expectant mother* of much
uselrss suffering. Mother! you mu*t avoid mere greases and useless substi-
tutes. Begin using "Mother's Friend” today. It V sold at drug stores—
everywhere.
