Mrs. Mary E. Hellyer, Baltimore,
in the Philadelphia Record.
1 note that a Pennsylvania far
mer named Vance lyis been suffer
ing from an attack of hiccoughs,
which hie phvsicians were, for a
time, unable to relieve.
I judge the gentleman must be
well by now, but if he ever gets
another attack, I want him to try
this remedy, which never failed
me: Take a big swallow of water
(only one, and be sure to hold the
glass in the left hand, and take a
large mouthful and swallow it all
at once.)
When 1 was younger a lady told
me to do that, and once 1 was at
her home, and I forgot to take the
glass in my left hand, and she
stopped me pre‘ty quick.
It has been a good remedy for
years.
•In a case like this farm, he
might try it often, at intervale
during the day.
Republicans
Responsible For It.
When our next war comes (and
a great many thoughtful students
of world political currents think it
will come before many years) a lot
of folks are going to wonder how
much better off we would have
been with a League of Nations.-
Albany Herald.
Senator Lodge, the hot headed
South hating Republican, a few
other Republicans and two or
three men claiming to be Demo
crats, are largely responsible for
the United States’ refusal to be
come a party with the other great
nations on the globe to the League
of Nations, a document not per
fect, but as near perfect as it was
possible to make it by the greatest
and most conscientious men on
earth.

nursing him. Her kindness was
greatly appreciated.

• Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Wilkin and
their twins, Mr. J. J. George and
his wife, with Mr. and Mrs. Jas.

s farmers down here in God’s
iy are dejected on account
of continual showers. After a
while these same planters will be
just praying for the refreshing
rains to bathe "mother earth.’’
One of the brick structures just
east of the Exchange Bank Build
ing is being remodled, prepared
and equipped for a high class
moving picture show.
As we go to press Colquitt is
almost as quiet as a "lone rock by
the sea.” The thrifty planters, many
of them detained here last week by
the spring session of Superior
Court, are busily engaged on their
plantations this week, trying to
make up for the lost time caused
by court and the rains.
Mrs. A. J. Cowart’s many friends
will be glad to learn that after a
long and tedious illness, she is now
convalescing nicely under the skill
ful treatment of Dr. W. C. Hays.
Several telephones are out of fix,
and the scarcity of labor precludes
the possibility of them being read

Mr. and Mrs. James Mi ms Fudge
started to keeping house on Col
lege street Monday in their cozy
cottage, which has been thoroughly
repaired, and repainted on the in
terior as well as the exterior. The
residence is just east of the home
of his parents.
We regret to note the painful
illness of Mr. M. L. Miller who is
sick here at the home of his son,
Post Master H. M. Miller. This
gentleman who has reached an ad
vanced age seems not to yield easi
ily to the effects of medicine; but
be has many friends who join the
Liberal in hoping he will speedily
recover.
CAN YOU AFFORD A TRACTOR?
It didn't cost much to feed a mule fifty years ago.
When the canal boat and tow path system of transportation was at its
crest, over half a century back, it was considered cheap.
Yet, how long were the canals kept busy after the advent of steam and
the Iron Horse?
The old canal mule was cheap (by the day) but it took too many days,
and the railroad was cheaper in the end (by the trip).
Horse car lines made the money for their owners fifty years ago. But
when the electron was harnessed, machinery again proved horse power too
slow, too inefficient.
Manufacturers and business men in all parts of the world have discarded
the horse for the motor truck. Why? Because actual tests have proven
the horse too expensive. The horse is now on his last battlefield as regards
his ability as a power plant. This battlefield is the American farms—the
farms of the world. He has tarried longer here because only within the
past few years has engineering skill been directed toward development of
an efficient power plant for the farmer.
That this ideal has at last been reached is attested to by thousands of
farmers all over the world, where the light farm tractor has succeeded in
doing their work better, quicker, and cheaper.
Can the farmer, who has not motorized his farm, believe that the horse
—driven the tow path, the horse car, and all industry everywhere—is
really an efficient machine for him?
Thomas Edison, “the wizard of Menlo Park,” says “a horse is the poor
est motor ever built. Hie eats 12 thousand pounds of fuel a year, the whole
output of five acres, and yet his efficiency is but two percent.”
Who speaks with more authority?
We will hold Fordson Tractor Demonstration Thursday Mar. 18th at J. S.
Bush field just this side of depot. We don’t ask you to buy. Come and
take a look, you will not be under any obligations what so ever.
Remember the date March 18, and be on hand.

Mr. Lawson Stapleton, one of
the fifteen year old twin sons of
Col. and Mrs. N. L. Staplefon has
been painfully ill at the home of
his parents for the last week. The
lad is suffering with a form of
blood poison. As we go to press
we learn with pleasure that his
attending physician, Dr. W. O.
Hays, has been successful in get
ting the disease under control. To
make bad matters worse Master
Newton Stapleton, a younger bro
ther of Lawson, returned from
school Tuesday suffeiing from a
bilious attack, a disease that is
putting in an appearance in sever
al homes. We hope both of the
boys will be well again soon.

supervision or to the tenderest ad
ministrations. The eldest little
son, two and a half years old is
here at the home of the editress

roic efforts to check the ravages of
the disease so dangerous to ,child
ren during the teething period.
