F | THIRTY years ago the telephone v/as a luxury.
Today, through personal initiative and private
enterprise, it has become a necessity within the ^
reach of everybody. Where once a business had but one
telephone with a limited talking range, today that busi-
ness has a service with a range three-quarters of a
continent broad, and every branch of every business is
linked to every other by an intercommunicating telephone
system.
The telephone has earned its responsible place and
there are now over 9,000,000 Bell telephones in this
country, over which go 32,000,000 talks daily.

Joe Hagar was from “Missouri"
mid laid ti* la* shown. He voted
1 against tick eradieation. but Is now
Iu favor of It, as will lie seen from
the letter below:
“I formerly lived iu Missouri, and
was at a loss to understand why I
could not raise* as good cattle iu this
com tri with the same blood, and la*
Ucvod Vluit 11 was caused by tlx* cli-

to come nml kuqiect my cattle Hnd

A letter signed by A. J. Woodward
reads, hi part, as follows:
"Whllt* there was a great deal of
opi*ositlon liefore the work commenced
as soon as the iteople saw that it did
not hull their cattle in any way they
begun to favor the work, and by the
end i f the season 1 could not find n
man that opi*»cd it."
J(. S. Gowau was also against tick
eradication, hut Is now a believer in
it, as will lie seen from what he says:
“I told Dr. Kobods that I was
against dipping; It was too much ex-
petiK*. of no use, and too hard on
cattle.
1 never hnd cattle to do better
than they have this year. They are
all fat. slock und gentle,—no trouble

Tom Weldon, of Henrietta, slates
that dipping not only kills’ the ticks,
Intt kills the lice as well. He says
that although he will not be required
by the government to dip Ills cattle,
as Cla,v county Is now free from
ticks, yet he will dip them a few
times In the spring Just for the sake
of killing lice.

For Skin Blotches
There is one remedy that seldom fails
to dear away all pimples, blotqhes and
other skin eruptions and that makes the
skin soft, dear and healthy.
Any druggist can supply you with
zemo, whiih generally overcomes all
skin diseases. *Acne, eczema,- itch, pim-
ples, rashes, black heads io most eases
give way to zemo. Frequently, minor
blemishes disappear overnight. Itching
usually stops instantly. Zemo is a safe,
antiseptic liquid, dean, easy to use and
dependable. It costs only 25c; an extra
large bottle, $1.00. It will not stain, is
not greasy or sticky and is positively
safe tor tender, sensitive skins.
