i X x POLK COUNTY NEWS. BENTON. TENNESSEE. BUCK-DRAUGHT 1 "GUD I DIDNT TAKE CALOMa" RQAD i Criticism and Citizenship It is the plain, public duty of every citizen to criticize proposed govern ment measures believed to be harmful. Swift & Company is in a better pos ition perhaps, than others, to under stand the meat packing business in all its relations to public and private inter - ests, even though the others may have been giving the subject a great deal of sincere attention. Swift & Company is convinced that interference with its legitimate business function by governmental agencies, however well intentioned, would be an injury to every man, woman and child who wants meat to eat, as well as to the men who raise the meat and to those who dress and distribute it. Maximum service that cannot monopolize because of keen competi tion and lack of control over sources of supply is furnished at a minimum of profit a fraction of a cent per pound from all sources. Therefore Swift &. Company is taking every legitimate step of citizen ship to prevent such interference. These advertisements are intended to help you, and to help Congress decide what is best to be done. Mis takes are costly and apt to be harmful in these trying times. Let us send you a Swift "Dollar." Address Swift & Company, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, 111. Swift & Company, U. S. A. Old Cannon Ball Found in River. A cannon ball of the type made for big guns of the days before explosive shells was used In warafre was brought up from the bottom of the Mississippi river, below the high dam at St. Paul recently and Is to be turned over to fhe Minnesota Historical so ciety. . When a United States engineering department dredge hauled up a dipper of rock the cannon ball was found in It. How It got Into the river could not be learned, for guns of that type were never put to actual test at the fort and the ammunition always was carefully guarded. Guns that used that type of ball are now used for decorative purposes only, some of them having been given to the Minnesota Soldiers home and others placed on the grounds of the state capltol. Telephone Progress. The development In telephonic and telegraphic equipment effected during the war would have occupied probably from ten to fifteen years during ordi nary peace times. NiQht-Tlme How to See It Radium paint Is not the only thli that will Illuminate a watch on a dark night. So saith Benjamin F. Lock' wood, somewhat defiantly, for he ha! Just invented a decidedly complicated device for so doing. In the first place, you must wear a motorist's glove; then you attach your watch to the back of the cuff; next you adjust the bulb and shade so the watcvj Is Illuminated. A battery Is tucked In the side of the glove and wires run around until they terminate In two contact points in the thumb and first finger. When you wish to see the time, act as If you were pinching some on and the lamp will light. Popular Science Monthly. Horn Headirght.

To determine the destructive effect jf heavily loaded auto trucks on high ways and streets, and to meet the de- xand for data on the design of road surfaces and foundations to withstand juch heavy traffic, a series of expert uents Is being conducted by the bu reau of public roads at the Arlington ;iperlment farm to determine the im pact of auto trucks on roads. The most striking single develop ment in the highway field In 1918 was he tremendous Increase In motor- :ruck traffic. Five years ago heavy notor trucks were few in number and Imlted practically entirely to the naved streets of larger cities. These .chicles now comprise probably 4 to 5 per cent of the grand total of all notor vehicles and are to be found .vherever traffic conditions permit profitable use. But very few roads ivere designed to carry any large vol ume of this class of traffic. Conse- juently, the cost of adequate mnin- .enanee was increased greatly during he year. In many place3 the damage Jue to the incessant pounding of these 'ast and heavy vehicles was so great is to require complete reconstruction. 4DVICE ON BUILDING ROADS Much Investigational and Experi mental Work Done by the De partment of Agriculture. Much investigational and experi mental work on road building has een in progress for a number of rears and road engineers are able as result of this work to give valuable Klvice as to the most economical method of building and maintaining oads for the varying conditions exist ng in different localities. Much of his investigational work has been lone by the highways division of the Juited States department of agricul- ure and some by the various state highways commissions. No road bulld- ng operations ought to be undertaken ivithout the aid and expert advice vhich these agencies are willing and ible to give. Taxpayers should insist upon this. Some Kind of Stomach Trouble With' Cramps and Terrible Pains Made This Oklahoma Man's Life Miserable Un til Black-Draught Re lieved Him. CbickBfa. Okla. Mrs. J. W. Walker recently said .this: "We use Black Draught as a family medicine and think it is the only liver medicine made. My husband makes it up and uses it as a tonic as well as a laxa tive. I use it for headache, sour stom ach, a full heavy feeling after meals, which I suppose is indigestion, and it certainly does roe a lot of good. My husband had some kind of stom ach trouble we don't know Just what. It would strike him Just any time in the day and cramp or pain him Just terribly bad. Someone told him how to make a tea of the Black-Draught, which he did. It did him so much good, it removed the cause and cured him. Since then we have praised the Black-Draught to our friends, and gladly do so." Seventy years of successful use has made Thedford's Black-Draught a standard, household remedy. Every member of the family at times needs the help that Black-Draught can give In cleansing the system and prevent ing or relieving the troubles that come from constipation, indigestion, lazy liver, etc. Try Black-Draught.

During 1918, for the first time in the history of Norwegian shipping, the number of foreign vessels entering and clearing at Norwegian ports was great er than those of national registry. Thi.-s was due to war conditions. A great number of Norweginn vessels had been chartered by the allies for over sea service, and the blockade and gen eral restrictions growing out of it had reduced both imports and exports to a very small figure compared with tho records of previous years. The per centage of vessels of national regi try in the Norwegian carrying trade of 1918 was only 31.6, as compared with "0.2 in 1917 and 50.7 in 1913. is1 COMPACT SURFACE OF ROADS excess Water Successfully Removed By Use of Piece of Pipe, Opera- a ted by Two Men. .A simple method for compacting the jurface of concrete roads and remov- ng excess water has been evolved jy an engineer, is.
