DIDN’T KNOW
’TWAS SO GOOD
Texas Lady Storekeeper, Who
Carries Black-Draught in Stock,
Has Found It “Best Liver
Medicine” Obtainable.
Barker, Tex.—-Relating her experi
ence with Thedford’s Black-Draught,
Mrs. A. L. Fronme, of this place,
j: “I had for some time used . . .
and other liver medicines, which
would nauseate and make me feel bad.
We have a store, and our customers
called for Black-Draught so often that
[ decided it must be good, so thought
I would try It myself.
M I'began Its use and found It just
fitted my case. It neither griped nor
nauseated me, was an easy laxative
and not hard to take.
“I had had headaches a great deal,
no doubt from torpid liver. The
Black-Draught would.cure them. The
best way I find to take Black-Draught
is to take one or two good sized doses
until the liver begins to act, then taper
the doses to just a pinch after meals.
“It will Insure good digestion, do
away with the gas or bad taste In the
mouth, and is without doubt the best
liver medicine In the market. I have
found It so. I can recommend it to
my friends, for I believe it will do
them good.”

; By H. LOUIS RAYBOLD {
4 4
vtg), 1920. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.)
“Think you’ll manage all -right?”
asked the old warden as he shook
hands with young Maynard.
“Sure thing,” replied the latter.
“Good-by and thanks.” Shouldering
his pack he turned away up the pine-
scented trail.
The old man looked after him
doubtfully. During his long career as
warden in this little corner of the
Adirondacks many men of many
types had he sent up that winding
pnth to stay from May until October,
but never before so welbset-up, so
well bred, so handsome a youth, and
one so obviously capable of holding
down a far harder job than that of
ranger on old Smoky Top.
Some time later, arrived at the sum
mit, Sperry Maynard threw down ids
pack at the door of a small shanty
set in a cleared space a few hundred
feet square. Adjacent to It was a
sort of platform on the top of four
poles, evidently a lookout. On one of
the poles was fastened n telephone
box, an incongruous object in the
wilderness, but necossnry in the per
formance of his duties.
So this was to he his home for five
months! Sperry sat down upon his
duffle and gave himself up to eating
the last of his sandwiches and review
ing the circumstances which had
brought him here.
Briefly—It was ennui and disillusion
ment. With more money to spend than
he had known what to do with and
with a generosity which made him an
easy victim of his associates, he had
led n spectacular career at college.
Then his father had died, increasing
his already absurd income.
But he was riding for a fnll from
the qunrter in which he least expect
ed It. He believed his two best friends
to be his roommate and the girl he
was as good as engaged to. Coming
to bis rooms suddenly during the
prom festivities he had surprised
them in unequivocal love-making,
while ostensibly having ten.
* Sperry had left the room, the
campus, the town. In sudden revul
sion be bad hunted up nit old friend
of his father’s and asked for a job.
only stipulating that it be out of doors
and away from the world.
As n result, here he was, the Smoky
Top ranger, whose one duty was to
sweep the -horizon with high-powered
glasses and by means of the telephone
to_report any Ares to the Are wardens
below.
As May melted Into June and June
into July, Sperry grew accustomed to
his monotonous solitude. At times,
however, Intense longings for the
pleasures and companionships of civ
ilization seized him.
It was just after such a period that
n gny party of men and women from
the hotel on the lake below climbed
to his shanty. First came a portly,
middle-aged man. pulling consider
ably; then a younger man, followed by
three ladles, two of whom were un
mistakably past the bloom of youth.
The third brought up the rear, and at
first Sperry did not notice her. Then,
as he caught a glimpse of the beauti
ful face beneath the soft sport hat, he
paled beneath his tan. But on the
girl’s part there was no trace of
recognition.
“I say,” said the elderly gentleman,
“do you have many fires?”
Sperry managed a reply. “Some
times one n day. Again, not a sign of
one for weeks.”
“What would you do If you were
surrounded here?” This question was
from the older woman. Perpetual ask
ing of it from other touritsts had
given Sperry a ready answer. “Prob
ably be killed,” be said cheerfully. He
always gave the proper touch of ro
mance to«his situation which they de
manded.
“Oil,” snid the girl softly, her brown
eyes wide with horror. Sperry could
see now that the resemblance to an
other. at first so striking, was really
only intermittent as her expressions
changed.
Long after their departure Sperry
thought of his visitors, particularly of
the girl and the young man. Were
they engaged or. possibly, married?
A week later they came again, with
variations in the personnel of the par
ty, hut still the same couple. This
time Sperry deliberately, yet unos
tentatiously, made conversation with
her.
Just before they left the girl snid
suddenly. “J- am coming up again.”
That was all, hut the knowledge was a
bright gleam in the dull monotony of
his lonely days.
Many times she came and always
with • the personable youth, who
seemed to have' established himself ns
the girl’s bodyguard. Little by little
Sperry learned that she was staying
with friends; that she was not mnr-
ried; that her name was Barbara. And
Sperry,, who had thought he was done
with love at twenty-three, presently
reached the stage where his first wak
ing thought was. “Will she come to-
, day?”
Then came the long dry spell of late
August., Sperry was kept busy report
ing fire#. The very-nir became yellow
with smoke haze, and for days at n
time the lake below was not visible.
One morning Sperry paused in tin*
act of chopping down a dead tree to
sniff the air. Certainly the arm**-
phere was unusually acrid. A irlan.e
through the glasses reported nothing,
yet Sperry had a feeling that the fire
was not far away.
Running down the trail, he observed
that the density of the smoke was In
creasing. Coming out on a little knoll,
he saw an opaque cloud of smoke set-
tleu on an adjacent shoulder of the
mountain. Here and there it was shot
with flame.
His trained eye, however, saw that
tly? wind was taking It away from the
summit, and that it would probably
burn itself out when It reached the
edge of the cliff. Returning, he re
ported the fire to the warden.
Late that afternoon Sperry sat
smoking an old pipe. Suddenly lie
heard a rustle on the trail behind him.
Turning, lie waited. Was it a deer
or had some on* been foolish enough
to climb the mountain, s meuaced as it
was by fire?
Thunderstruck, lie gazed ut the girl
who stumbled toward him. Her wealth
of hair tumbling about her shoulders,
her expression one of relief tinged
with embarrassment, Barbara ad
vanced. a most Intriguing figure In
boyish knickerbockers and gray flan
nel blouse.
“I was riding,” she explained, “and
I saw the summit was all smoky, and
I wondered—” she broke off in con
fusion.
“You came up here to see if—If
everything was all right?”
She nodded.
“Why, that was—well, awfully good
of you,” said Sperry grntefully.
She turned to go. She was begin
ning to feel, ns well ns he, the un
usualness of the situation. “I left my
horse at the foot of the trail,” sl,e
volunteered. “I am going home to
morrow.”
Ills heart sank. “I am sorry to hear
that. Your visits up here have meant
—well, more than 1 could make you
understand. 1 had gotten out of touch
with the world, and came up here to
forget many things.”
“Was one of them my sister Eve
lyn?” she asked calmly.
Sperry turned in amazement. So
that was where the resemblance eaiue
from. “How did you know?” he de
manded.
“Oh, I always used to examine the
pictures of good-looking men she kept
on her dresser. And I picked up
stray bits here and there whfch led
me to think she hadn’t used you quite
right. But tell me, do you still think
of her?” she asked wistfully. “You
know, she’s married.”
“Quite the contrary,” said Sperry
slowly. “The mountain winds have
swept away her memory along with
many other things. In their place they
have brought me a wonderful dream
girl. When they*rustle In the grass, 1
Imagine It is the stir of her dress, and
when they whisper in the pines I play
I am listening to her dear voice.” The
man waited, telling her with his eyes
what he did not dare put into words.
Shyly Barbara laid a slim young
hand on ills arm. “Sperry Maynard,”
she said softly, “years ago I fell in
love with your picture, and when T
saw you for the first time up here and
recognized you, I knew you were much
nicer even than your photograph!”
“Do you mean—Barbara!” and on
the word his arms were about her.
A little inter, when he had taken
her down to her horse, he gave her the
last kiss before the temporary separa
tion. “1 hoped to find myself on old
Smoky Top,” he whispered; “I little
dreamed I would find you 1”
Albania's First Treaty.
Tlie first treaty ever written among
the tribes of Albania lias recently been
signed. Tlie only foreign nation
named is America. The people of Al
bania are of the oldest race in Europe,
the race that peopled Athens. Since
the time of Alexander the Great, who
chose always Albanians for ids body
guard. they have been invaded and
harassed by Dorians, Greeks, Lutins
and Slavs. They have retained their
primitive tribal form through self-de
fense, and the tribes have also warred
among themselves. Now this is to
cease. Five powerful tribes on the
north have met and formed an agree
ment, or bessn, to work for peace, for
Albania autonomy and the defense
of Albania against invaders.
Man and His Demands.
One great trouble with the world is
man has taken himself too seriously.
By no possibility can lie be an angel,
yet lie is demanding that reward for
ids poor services here on earth. He
is not entitled to prosperity and Idle
ness at the same time; no arrange
ment can he made whereby this is pos
sible. Yet lie demands it.
Man Is an animal, living In a ma
terial world and must cut ills cloth
accordingly. To demand more than
he is’entitled to is a waste of time;
he might make himself reasonably
prosperous and content with the time
he wastes in blubbering for the moon.

For more than Forty Years
Cotton Growers have known that
POTASH PAYS
More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts
had been imported and used in the United
States in the 20 years previous to January,
1915, when 'shipments ceased. Of this
6,460,700 Tons consisted of
KAINIT
which the cotton grower knew was both a
plant food and a preventive of blight and
rust,—with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of
20 per cent
MANURE SALT
which has the same effects on Cotton, bat which
was used mainly in mixed fertilizers.
Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have
been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and
high freight rates make it more desirable to ship
Manure Salt, which contains 20 per cent of actual
Potash, instead of Kainit, which contains less than
13 per cent actual Potash.
MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing
on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will
give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds
of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure
Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161
pounds of Kainit,
MANURE SALT has been coming forward in
considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can
not secure Kainit should make an .effort to get
Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a
big Cotton Crop.
Muriate of Potash
50-per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward
also,—100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400
pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt
These are the three
Standard GERMAN Potash Salts
that were always used in making cotton fertilizers
and have been used for all these years with great
profit and without any damage to the crop.
The supply is not at present as large as in former
years, but there is enough to greatly increase the
Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making
the necessary effort to get it for you.
