MOTHER! ‘‘California Syrup of Figs” Child’s Best Laxative Accept “California” Syrup of Figs pnly—look for the name California on the package, then you are sure your child is having the best and most harm less physic for the little stomach, liver and bowels. Children love its fruity taste. Full directions on each bottle. You must say “California.” —Adv. Grasshopper Bait. A year ago the grasshopper ate up nearly $100,000,000 worth of our win ter wheat. .Science at once set about devising some scheme to control this pest. They mixed a concoction, on an enormous scale,' known as “grasshop per bait,” making 4,565 tons of it, or •enough to liil 183 large railroad cars. To mix tills bait they used 500,000 lemons, eighty-three tons of white ar senic and other ingredients in similar proportion. The bait was then scat tered over a great area in Kansas. The grasshoppers ate it freely, with the expected result. This year there are no grasshoppers in Kansas. — Beys’ Life. URIC ACID IN MEAT CLOGS THE KIDNEYS Take a Glass of Salts if Your Back Hurts or Bladder i Bothers. If you must have your meat every day, eat it, but flush your kidneys with salts occasionally, says a noted au thority who tells us that meat forms uric acid which almost paralyzes the kidneys in their efforts to expel it from the blood. They become slug gish and weaken, then you suffer with a dull misery in the kidney region, sharp pains in the back or sick head ache, dizziness, your stomach sours, tongue is coated and wt on the weather Is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi ment, the channels often get sore and Irritated, obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. To neutralize these irritating acids, to cleanse the kidneys and flush off the body’s urinous waste get four ounces of Jad Salts from any phar macy here; lake a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to neutralize the acids in urine, so it no longer Irritates, thus ending bladder weakness. •Tad Salts is inexpensive; cannot in jure, and makes a delightful efferves cent lithia-water drink. —Adv. World's Sleepiest Tramp. A widely known character, one .Till ius Mereier, called “the sleeping tramp,” has been arrested in Ver sailles, according to the Manchester Guardian. This occasion he is charged with the theft of rabbits. The morning before his arrest he was found on the Grand route by a carter In a deep sleep, from which all efforts of the latter failed to wake him. In the police station he woke up for a few minutes, then fell asleep again. It was found absolutely Impos sible to arouse him from slumber, and he was sent to a hospiital, where he continues in the same state. Neither drunkenness nor lethargic encephalitis have anything to dt with this curious case of one who must take high rank among the tired fraternity, i DEWSJJF EVE No More Gentle Than “Cascarets” for the Liver, Bowels It is just as needless as it is danger- j ous to take violent or nasty cathartics, j Nature provides no shock absorbers for j your liver and bowels against calomel, harsh pills, sickening oil and salts. Cascarets give quick relief without in jury from Constipation, Biliousness, In digestion, Gases and Sick Headache. Cascarets work while you sleep, remov ing the toxins, poisons and sour. In digestible waste without griping or in convenience. Cascarets regulate by strengthening the bowel muscles. They cost so little too. —Adv. No really good complexion comes out In the wash. Some people believe that divorces are made in heaven and marriages In the other place LABOR SHORTAGE NOW BEING FELT Keep Rainy-Day and Wet-Land Jobs Out of Way of Rush Work in the Fields. ONE OF IMPORTANT FACTORS Farm Laborers and Tenants Are Caught by Lure of High Wages and Are Leaving Farms for Cities—Some Simple Rules. (Prepared by the United States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Do nothing today which can be put off until tomorrow. That is an apparent perversion of the ancient and excellent proverb, and most people may be inclined to look upon it as pernicious—but, properly interpreted, it is a sound principle in farm management and one that a great many farmers will particularly need to apply In the face of the short age of labor with which this year’s crops must be made. It applies to tasks that Interfere with work in the fields at times when field work can he done. It does not mean procrastina tion. It means getting the indirectly productive work done in advance, if possible, but if it can’t be done in ad vance put it off till the rush work in the fields Is out of the way. It is one of the important factors, say farm management specialises of the United States department of agriculture, iti full utilization of farm labor. Great Need This Year. And full utilization is likely to bo more important this year than it has ever been before. Reports coming to the department of agriculture from all sections of the country are to the effect that farm laborers and tenants are caught by the lure of high wages and are leaving the farms for the cities. A great many farmers, appar ently. will be forced to carry on their operations this year with less help than they have ever had before. Un less such labor as is left on the farm Is utilized t<> the host possible advan tage, there is danger of a serious cur tailment of production. Farm-management specialists say, however, that a great deal can he ac complished toward helping production by getting the most out of the labor available. They lay down a few sim ple rules that they believe will help toward attaining this result. The best farmer, they say, is the one who gets the other work out of the way and keeps the teams moving whenever the land Is In condition for field work. The amount of products that a farmer can grow depends on getting the; field work done when the weather will permit it. Nothing ex cept necessary work like feeding and milking should be permitted to take V : ’ ~ Wn j If the indoor tasks are not done on indoor days, they will have to be done on outdoor days—but the outdoor tiasks can’t be done on indoor days. FARMER IS ENTERING FIELD OF MARKETING Opportunity Offered to State and Federal Agencies. Practice of Purchasing Supplies at Re tail and Selling Products on Wholesale Basis Is Gradually Being Reversed. Farmers’ organizations, as well as the so-called regular dealers, need market Information, arid here state and federal agencies have a wide field for service because the farmer is ac tively entering the field of marketing. There nre in this country today more than 15.000 farmers’ business organi zations. with a membership of approx imately 2,000,000, according to the bu reau of markets. United States de partment of agriculture. Almost all of these organizations are at local msmtetß, but their extension In great er numbers to the terminal arid dis tributing centers Is only a matter of time. The farmer lias been accus THE MONTGOMERY MONITOR, MT. VERNON, GEORGIA. men from the fields, and It should be planned where possible to get these things done and still keep the horses working ten hours a day. Plan no wet-land work, they say, when there is work in the fields that can be done. By wet-land work is meant such things as cutting weeds and brush in the fence rows, repair ing the fences, repairing buildings and a great many other necessary things— but things that can he done just ns well when the ground is too wet to plow. Rainy-Day Work. I.eave no rainy-day work, another rule says, to he done when it is not raining, for profits are limited by the amount of outdoor work that gets done. Rainy-day work Is necessary work and if it Is not done on rainy days it will have to be done later on fair days and will Interfere with field work. It includes things that can he done under shelter, such as shelling seed corn, mending the harness, and repairing tools. Jot down in a note hook, the special ists advise, the things that will need attention the next rainy day. This will enable you to plan your work quickly when you get tip some morn ing and find the rain pouring down. Do first the jobs that are in danger of getting in the way of the next dry weather work. Put in long days in rush seasons with the assurance that you can ease down on rainy days or when the rush is over. And then comes that first rule, “Do nothing today which can as well be put off till tomorrow.” There are a great many things that cannot be put oft' till tomorrow. If sowing oats is delayed until the warm, dry days of late spring, there will be a light harvest. If the corn is not cul tivated even for one week after It is old enough to cultivate, the fields will he weedy and the crops poor. If dairy cows are neglected, there will soon be no milk. This class of tasks, therefore, demands immediate atten tion. Put off tlie other things to more or less remote tomorrow when the rush work is out of the way. Back to Old Proverb. Then, when the rush work Is over revert to the proverb in its original form, “Put <«f nothing until tomor row which can he done today.” This applies to work that may he done any time within a wide latitude, but the time comes when it cannot he put off any longer and it may stop the rush work. Seed corn, for example, may he tested and shelled any time after it is thoroughly cured, but if the work is neglected until the fields are ready to plant, then that most profit able work in the cornfield may he de layed. That is a fair illustration of “get-it-out-of-the-way" work. It takes more planning, more think ing, and more force of character to do tliis work, in seasons when there is no rush work than it does to concentrate on rush work. Only by using his head can the farmer handle the “get-it-out of-the-way” work in advance, hut he must apply the rule methodically and unfailingly if he is to got ahead very fast in spite of shortage of labor. | tomed to purchase supplies at retail and market bis products on a whole sale basis'.

More direct marketing also is expected to reduce prices paid by consumers.

MORE STATES IN MEXICAN MIX-UP GROWING STRENGTH OF REVOLU- ; TIONARY MOVEMENT LED BY j STATE OF SONORA OIL REGION IS THREATENED Private Advices Say Two New States, Hidalgo and Tlaxacla, Have Joined Scccisionists Washington.—Reports from Mexico, ! official and unofficial, emphasize the growing strength of the revolutionary movement led by the state of So nora. Advices from private sources said two new states, Hidalgo and Tlaxacla, supported by their legislatures and states troops, had joined in the seces sion movement. Other dispatches told of scattering, but strong additions to the revolutionists led by Gen. Arnolfo Gomez, Rodolfo Gallegos, Albundiox Gomez and Amaro Durango. Gen. Ar nolfo Tuxpan with 3,000 men and to be threatening Tampico, the vital cen ter of Mexico’s oil region. The Mexican embassy issued a for mal statement on the situation, declar ing the revolution to be only a local movement. The statement added, however, that If the secession move ment should spread, it would result in “the stoppage of business, curtailment of wealth and international commerce and the indefinite postponement of the foreign debt.” The embassy said the only state governors sympathizing with the re | hellion were Governor Enriquez Es | trada of Zacatecas, and the governor | of Michoacan. This was the first con j Urination received here that the Zaca tecas governor had poined the revolu tionists and his accession is regarded as important, owing to the important position of his state. Another statement from the embas sy said Gen. Benjamin Hill, campaign manager for General Obregon, who is a candidate for the presidency, and is aiding openly with the revolution ists, had-been wounded in a battle at Contreas, in which the rebel forces ; were defeated. The senate committee investigating Mexican relations summoned Gen. Sal vador Alvadarada, who was governor of Yucatan for Carranza during the Hennequin controversy, and who is now in Washington, to appear before it. VIEWS OR BRITISH AND FRENCH CLASH ON GERMAN POLICY j France Holds Alies Should Prepare i Forcible Measures To Compel Germans To Fulfill Pact San Itemo. —Discussion of what shall be asked of Germany and how what is asked shall be exacted, has be gun in the supreme council. Tension between the French and British dele gations on this subject has been con siderable. The French are declared to feel, deeply that they have been the great est sufferers from Germany’s omission in fulfilling her treaty obligations; that Germany's retention of war material obliges France to remain armed and that the reduction in coal deliveries keeps an important fracion of the French industries idle. They say that Germany, during the last nine months had indicated clear ly to the French mind that she in tends to do nothing she cannot be compelled to do and that unless al lies sharply warn her and prepare to follow up the warning by forcible measures, Germany will default upon the essential clauses of the treaty The British position is that although I Germany has defaulted in several ex | tremely important respects, and that she must he required to fulfill her obligations she can he made to do so without further negotiation of her ter i itories and by severe economic re strictions. The British statesmen are j understood to look askance on the French aims and feel that leadership among the allies is being disputed. Disarming Os Czechs, Is Japs’ Demand Harbin, Manchuria. —Japanese au thorities in Manchuria have demanded that all Czech troops in this country be disarmed.

Railroad communica tions between Mersdina, where the French forces landed recently, and Adana, were interrupted on April 11, it is stated by travelers from Asia Minor. High Prices Blamed On Many Strikes New York. —“The latest series of ! strikes,” amounting to an “epidemic”— have done infinitely more than prof iteering to raise commodity prices and the cost of living, Francis H.
