If you help others you neces I sarily help yourself. As Jimmy Arnold said the other night, "We want action, not sympathy.’’ There is aj great chance for this community if wej pull together.

We want new ones too, but we surely I want to keep what we have, protect them so they can operate and boost j lor them. Farmers of North Carolina, assisted , by a representative of the United Slates Department of Agriculture and ' the State College of Agriculture, have , found that there are more ways than , one to dispose of wool. They are i. having it manufactured into blank- j i ets, and hope to sell the blankets. I : 1

> About 15,000 pounds of North Carolina wool have been handled in this ; manner. Here is a suggestion tor farmers geiMiully. Why not turn i manufacturer as well as producer? II . there is no market for the row mater 1 lai, convert it into the finished prodi net. Many a town man, unablo to sell a vacant lot, has erected a bouse thereon and turned both with profit. . By co-operating, farmers can convert their raw material Into the finished product which the public demands, < One year wh/m the Texas ’pencil crop was unusually heavy and prices for fresh fruit correspondingly low, ( instruction was given in the canning j of the fruit, with the result that thou < sands ot bushels were not only saved ' but were marketed, later on, at an ( i advanceod price. We must get away ( from the idea that farming ends when , the crop is taken from the ground or < placed in the wagon or truck town ’ ward bound. —Farm Journal. I _____ CHARLEY WHITE -WANTS t TO FIGHT LEONARD (United Press Service) Chicago, 111., January 13. —Charley White, on whom Chicago still lays its ■ , iaiiu to pugilistic honors, is ciambor ing for another chance at Benny Leonard and the lightweight championship. White said he was making every effort to get a fight with the champion after the Richie .Mitchell-Leonard fight in New York, tomorrow night, if | Leonard wins. » The Chicago fighter said that "influences close" to Tex Richard liad . prevented his appearance at Madison I Square Garden so far but he believed (■ he had overcome these and that the bout could be arranged. White is still talking about his; fight with Leonard at Benton Harbor I when he knocked the champion dpwn, although Leonard came back and slipped over the K. O. in the fourteenth | lound. He thinks that Leonard has been slipping since that .fight.

[ Rann-dom Reels j ! By HOWARD L. RANN wwwwwwwwau ■wwwwt THE ELECTRIC BELT THE electric belt Is a substitute for tho mustard plaster and can be removed without taking any of the patient with it. From the earliest days of this republic the mustard plaster has been relied upon to extract shooting pains from the interior of man's anatomy. It was always applied by some faithful w’i# who mixed the plaster with, her cwh hands, in order tliat there might be plenty of mustard therein, I and all that a suffering hus'iiand had • to do was allow the plaster to sit ! down cn his stomach and draw the * pain to the surface. It is an uncanny sensation to have a stout mustard plaster with long teeth grasp hold of a vital organ and maul it into a state of helpless submission, and many a patient has preferred to die with his cuticle intact rather than pass through such an ordeal. The electric belt, however, has fori ever done away with the mustard 1 plaster and its murderous instincts. PMINEAS! Youse USING NOR.E. R>®S EUcTkiCiTV tjsjß THAN A Suburban Tmliey? — 8* > Mi One End Is Attached to an Electrio Meter. It is no more trouble to wear an electric belt than it is to make percolator coffee when everything is perking right. The belt is strung carelessly about the waist of the patient and one end is attached to an electric meter, which keeps a careful record of the current consumed and turns it into tlie head office at the end of the mouth. As soon as the meter begins to turn over and discharge kilowatts at the patient, a warm, restful feeling appears which Increases In intensity until the patient glances at the meter. When an electric belt is properly applied a sick person can turn over on bls face and go to sleep without fear of having his backbone reduced to ashes. This cannot be said of the i mustard plaster, which never knows when to stop its triumphant progress and is liable to cremate a sleepy patient right in the presence of bls wife and children. The electric belt can be set'so that It. will operate at one mile per hour on high, but by a providential arrangement the speed of tlie ; meter is not affected. I (Copyright.)
