The attack of ivy poisoning may
subside in from four to six days,
depending on the amout of the irri-
tant and the sensitiveness of the
skin. Individual susceptibility plays
An important part. Some persons
are extrefnely susceptible and oth-
ers resistant.
Persons who have once suffered
from ivy poisoning do not soon for-
get their experience.
Hhy Fever
Spring is here, the weeds and
flowers are growing rapidly, present
Ing the usual problem of hay fever,
Hay fever lowers ones vitality anc
resistance to other diseases in ad-
dition to making one miserable for
many weeks.
The pollen or ragweed, russian
thistles and dandelions may cause
hay fever. To a less extent the ani-
mal hair of your pets, especially
cats; also the fine feathers from
the pillows; sometimes orrfs root as
contained In most cosmetic.^; and
housedust.
We can do our bit to prevent
many cases of hay fever--cut ail of
your weeds in your back yards, on
the edge of the alley and on your
vacant lots. If you own a lot across
town where you live be considerate
enough of your fellow men to cut
the weeds on all of your property
Do not allow any dandelions to grow
in your lawns. Doesn’t it give you
a lot of pride for some one to say
“you have the cleanest and prettiest
grounds in your neighborhood;” it
makes you feel like a genuine citi-
zen.
If all of your neighbors and your-
self keep your places free from
weeds you need not worry so much
about hay fever.—J. C. Anderson,
State Health Officer.

the Schulenberg schools Friday
night closed a one-year contract
with the board of trustees of the
Robstown Independent School Dis-
trict and accepted the position as
superintendent of the local school
system.
Patton succeeds E. W. Seale who
has been head of the local schools
since 1926 and who recently was fil
ected principal of the Corpus Chrls-
ti high school and business man-
ager of the school system of that
city. • '
The selection of the Schufenberg
superintendent to guide the des-
tinies of the local schools cause as
a termination of almost nightly ses-
sions that have been held by the
Robstown school board for the past
three weeks during which time a
larger number of applicants have ap-
peared personally before the board.

D. A. R. MEMORIAL
Washington, D. C., May 25.—A
three-hundred-year-old tree in a
church burying ground at Falls
Church, Vhginia, has been selected
by the Daughters of the American
Revolution as the second living
memorial of America’s past to be
preserved for posterity.
The National Society of the D. A.
R. has embarked upon a plan of
ch<j03ing one historic tree for pres-
ervation each year by means of a
nation-wide referendum through
its state chapters. The trees are
saved by tree surgeons, whose ser-
vices are donated by former Con-
gressman Martin L. Davey, head of
the Davey Institute of Tree Surgery.
The tree at Falls Church—a tulip
popular with a foliage spread of 75
feet—has looked down upon more
than three centuries of American
history. It was more than 100 years
olu when George Washington, ves-
tryman of the church, rested in Its
shade. Crumbling tombstones, in
desolate dignity, speak mutely of
the death of all else that lived in
pre-revolutionary days. The tree is
the only living thing that was alive
in the hamlet of Falls Church when
Washington lived.

During the revolutionary war the
church was a recruiting place for
the Company of Captain Charles
Broadwater, a fellow vestryman of
George Washington. Captain Henry
Fairfax restored it just before the
Mexican war, hut in the Civil war
It was used by Union soldiers, first
as a hospital, then as a stable. All
of its equipment was destroyed ex-
cept the font, which pious hands
hid and saved.
In recent years the church has
been restored and today is a replica
Of that in which Washington wor-
shipped. Located on the Lee high-
way six milejt south of the Key
bridge in this city, it is a Mecca
for visitors who come every year
from all parts ofsthe nation.

Payment WlTH FlIU TITlf
That’s what our lumber sale amounts to. Just like paying a small payment on a
home and having the clear title given you without having to finish the payments.
To delay building now may mean that you will be forced to do it later at greater
expense.

dred board feet will be history.
