MANY CHEMICALS IN RAIN
MOUNT VERNON, la.. Aug. 9.—It
jmay rain “pitchforks” or “cats and
dogs” for the layman—but not for
Or. Nicholas Knight.
For this veteran head of Cornell
College’s c^ejmistry department it
rains nitrogen to fertilize fields, salt
£rom. the ocean and even sulphuric
jack! that eats away at skyscrapers.
For 21 years Dr. Knight has been
studying the chemistry of precipita-
fttdfc, and when it rains he knows what
it is raining.
He has analyzed 1,000 samples of
rain caught in dish pans in his back
yard.
In every inch of rain that falls on
an acre of ground in Iowa, Dr. Knight
says, there is one or two pounds of
saitrogen. Further mire, rain which falls
during a thunderstorm contains more
of the plant food than less boister-
ous rain.

He Wasn’t to Blame
“I had to first sc®ld, then coax
Phillip to get him to eat, he was so
fretful and not at all playful,” says
Mrs. P. L. Tuminello, who lives at
-250 Agnes avenue, here in Shreve-
port.
“The poor little fellow wasn’t to
Uatne for being cross. He was not
well and only wanted to sit around
where he could be near me. Then
.White’s Cream Vermifuge was rec-
ommended to me, and he began im-
proving right away. He was-soon
his sweet little self again. I can’t
speak too highly for White’s Cream
Vermifuge now.”
Children usually eat too much un-
booked food, and that develops round
or pin worms in their little bowels.
Laxatives do not budge them. That’s
why you should give them White’s
Cream Vermifuge.

FORT WORTH, Aug. 9.—Two men
were blown to bits and three persons
were injured just before noon Sat-
urday when a man entered the Stock-
yards National bank on Exchange
avenue, demanded $10,000 and then
threw a quantity of nitro-glycerine to
the floor as police entered. The in-
terior of the bank was wrecked by
the blast.

ing through destruction of his ear
drums.

Both bodies wei^e bauly torn by
the explosion. Martin’s legs and
right arm were blown off and the
torso and head hurled to the coil-
ing. Both arms and legs of Pc-lton

Prints were taken of the left hand,
but would not match any in the po-
lice recoi’ds.

manager for Shannon’s funeral chap-
el, on the north.side, where the body

right citizen, true to his craft.
Therefore be it resolved, that in
the death of Bro. Moore this lodge
has lost a faithful and useful mem-
ber and his family a loving husband
and father.
Second:—that a copy of these res-
olutions be furnished the widow of
our deceased brother with assurance
of our heartfelt sympathy.
Third:—that in respect to the mem-
ory of our deceased brothr a page of
the minutes of this lodge be set aside
and dedicated to his memory and that
these resolutions be inscribed thereon;
that the lodge be draped in mourning
for the period of 30 days and that a
copy of these l’esolutions he furnish-
ed the local Press of our county.

PAYNE ASKS HOWE
TO ‘CHAIR PARTY’
AMARILLO, Aug. 10.—D. Payne,
Amarillo attorney who confessed, he
placed a bomb which killed his wife
and maimed his 11-year-old son on
June 27, has invited A. B. McDonald,
staff writer of the Kansas City Star,
and Gene Howe, editor of the Amar-
illo News-Globe, to be hi3 guests at
his electrocution, if that should be the
punishment assessed him. The two
newspaper men unearthed the evi-
dence that led to Payne’s arrest.
MacDonald and Howe received the
following letter from Payne, written
by him at the Hutchinson county jail
at Stinnett, where he was held as a
precaution against possible mob vio-
lence.
“Gentlemen:
You have called me a liar. You say
my confession is a plea for sympathy
and an effort to make the public be-
lieve that I am insane so thnt when
I go to trial I can make a plea of
insanity and get away with it.
“The only difference between you
and me is that I used to be a liar
when it served my purpose to lie, but
I have quit and am telling the truth,
while you two are still lying.
“If there is any delay in my trip
to the electric chair, it will be the
fault of the State of Texa3 and will
be over my pi’oteat, for I want to go
to the electric chair just as soon as
possible.
“I want to say further that al-
though I am a nervous man, if you
two will come to Huntsville and see
me electrocuted, you will be more
scared in watching me than I am in
giving the party.”
The letter was signed “A. D.
Payne.”
Mrs. C. W. Rathman and Miss
Gladys West were injured Friday af-
ternoon about 5:00 o’clock when the
car in which they were riding col-
lided head-on with another car on
Fourth street near Chestnut. The
name ofthe parties occupying the
other car are not known and it is
understood that they were injured
only slightly.
Mrs. Rathman was rendered uncon-
scious for a time and is suffering from
severe bruises and shock, however no
bones were broken by the impact.
Miss West who was driving the car,
had two of her upper teeth broken
off and is also suffering from bruises.
Joe Bozart of the local office of the
T. P. & L. Co., is takings his vaca-
tion this week and is visiting at his
home in Taylor.
Mr. and Mrs. X. A. Bailey, who
live a few miles out of town on the
Georgetown road, left Sunday for Son
Antonio, where Mr. Bailey will enter
a hospital for treatment.

Don’t Stub Your Toe
ONE DARK NIGHT—so the story goes—a certain monarch
placed a large boulder in the middle of the road. Thousands
of his people, thereafter, severely stubbed their toes or
troubled to walk around. At length, one lusty youth—-wiser
than the rest—seized the stone and heaved it from his path.
And where it had rested, he found a bag of geld.
Are you stubbing your toe ? Are you overlooking any bags
of gold? How about the advertising in this paper? D© you
read it—consistently? It is a bag of gold to many of our
readers.
In our columns you will find the advertisements of alert*
progressive merchants and manufacturers v/ho seek to tell
you something they think you ought to know. This advertis-
ing is news about the very things that interest you most—
articles that will save you money, lessen your work, or add
materially to your comfort and well-being.
Thrifty men and women read advertising. To them it is a
plain, every-day business proposition—a duty they owe them-
selves and their purses. It tells them where they can buy*
exactly what they want at a price they can afford to pay.
Advertising pays them. They make it pay.
IT WILL PAY YOU TOO/ READ IT.
