POSTMASTER HELPS
LABY LOCATE THE
GRAYEUF MOTHER
Postmaster Walter Hudson is the
recipient of many letters which make
all manner of requests and seek all
kinds of information. Some are hum-
orous, a sample of this kind being
published in the Herald a day or two
ago, some are sad, and many are
neither one or the other. Mr. Hudson
says that he does not treat these com-
munications lightly. If the writers
are honest and sincere in their re-
quests, he does all that he can to help
(them and in this he is often success-
ful.
I One letter received by the postmas-
ter this week was from a lady, a Mrs.
Ethel Brown of Athens, Texas, was
seeking information as to the location
of the grave of her mother and ap-
pealed to Mr. Hudson as the person
who could most likely help her. We
quote herewith a part of Mrs. Brown's
letter:
"Kind Sir: I am writing you to
see if I can find my mother’s grave.
She was buried at Zion Hill grave-
yard, five miles north of Weatherford,
Sept. 11, 1908. We were traveling in
wagons. My father’s name was T. S.
Mooney. He died a few years after
mother and her grave wasn't marked
more than with a board with name
and date on it. I have a list of names
of some of the people who attended
the funeral, so I decided that if any-
one could help me locate any of these
people, you could.”
Mrs. Brown named a number of
persons, some of whom Mr. Hudson
was able to locate by consulting with
•the carriers on the rural routes. One
or two of these were on Route 4, the
carrier for this route being Chas. Hitt.
Mr. Hitt made inquiries of the parties
and found that they know exactly
where the grave is. This information
was conveyed to Mrs. Brown and she
will bo able to visit the grave of her
mother when she passes through here
again.
■ The real value of land cannot al-
ways be accurately estimated by a
mere glance at the fields. A close ex-
amination woud have to be made to
arrive at even the approximate value
of a farm, and then something would
hnve to he known about the man who
works the land. To one man a piece
of land might not be worth much, to
another it might be worth a great
deal.
To get down to a concrete example
and illustrate this idea, we will take
the case of F. O. Garrison and his
farm. Mr. Garrison lives about seven
miles west 0f town in the Lambert
community. His land Is not excep-
tional. the soil is thin in places and in
others it is pretty badly washed. The
Federal Land Bank placed a valuation
of $3,000 on this farm. One would
think that the Land Bank, having had
much experience in the valuation of
lands would put the figures about
right, the value being arrived at by
tho possible returns, or in other words
by what it would pay. If $3,000 was
the right value for the farm and if
10 per cent is a fair return, then $300
might reasonably be expected as in-
come from the farm. But let us see
what Mr. Garrison derived from this
$3000 farm. He sold about $1500
wjrtn of melons alone. Several other
cash crops grown on the farm brought
in $1100, \yhich makes a total of some
$2600 woith of produce sold this year
by Mr. Garrison. Twenty-six hundred
dollars i--’ 10 per cent on $26,000-a
considerable rise above the $3,000.
Some one might say that the farm
won’t continue to pay at this rate.
Maybe not, but we can cut the figures
in half and we still have $13,000.
How did Mr. Garrison achieve this
return from his 'arm? Merely bv
hard work, thorough cultivation, keep-
ing S ''lose watch on the market, and
fighting insects by every known meih-
od.
Hont.ydew attacked watermelons
this year and well nigh ruined a good
many crops. But they did not get Mr,
Garrison s melcns. fie used "Black
leaf 40, ’ recommended by the govern-
ment, and cprayed his vines thorougn
ly. His estimate is that ho sa rm
about T5eG by this cptaying.
We repeat, you cannot always tell
the value of a farm by looking at the
soil dou must also take a look at
the fanner who fills the soil.

Ufye first Gray Hair;
Ufye first Eye-Blur
—Have you suffered that first age-blur of the eyes that
comes with what we call middle-age? If you haven’t, it’s
because you’re not yet forty, for this eye-blur comes to
everyone at about that age. It usually occurs and is first
noticed when reading. This blur is a danger signal. It
forces you to get the facts about your eyes. If you already
wear glasses, from now on you will need new lenses for close
work. Therefore, it is immensely valuable to know that you
can have lenses for distance and for reading in one pair of
glasses; a combination of two pairs in one.
—These bifocals are a remarkable device. Istantane-
ously, you can change your glance from Distance, through
one type of lens, to Close-up, through another. With bifo-
cals complete range of vision, far and near, is instantaneous,
and this through beautiful inconspicuous lenses. In bifocals
all that science can give and artistry add are ta your com-
mand.
