A headache may be slight or of temporary character, or it may be deep-seated, severe and more or less chronic. In either case it is, as a rule merely a symptom of another condition. In order to function normally every part of the body must be supplied with its full quota of mental impulses or vital energy.

The only path whereby these mental impulses may be transmitted to their ultimate destination in the tissue cells is through nerve fibres.

M. Price, president of the Stratford State Bank, sees only one chance of salvation, "A deluge of rain." Sherman county, Texas, in 1931 produced 5.000,000 bushels of wheat. The crop this year. Price said, will not make 100,000 bushels. Much of the land is mortgaged, mostly to the government.

The land is empty of livestock. Most of it was sold as an alternative to death in barren and waterless pastures. One sees no chickens few hogs, hardly any cattle. There is no feed. Settlers Lose Faith.

Few ranchers have any faith in federal soil-erosion projects. What can man with tractors and listers do to control a destructive phenomenon that ravages thousands of square miles? "Give us rain, to get some grass growing," said Preston Foreman, Federal relief agent for Sherman county. Some wheat farmers, however, are "chiseling" their land furrowing the fields at right angles to prevailing winds. Lived Off Uncle Sam. Federal money has kept business going since 1933.

W. T. Martin, implement and hardware dealer at Stratford, said. A score of families who came to Sherman county in 1929 have left in recent weeks. Several scores have emigrated from the area north of Dalhart.

J. R. Pope, a farm worker who left Guymon, expressed the feelings of the discouraged ones: "My boss. Jolm Booth, has 200 acres of wheat, sickly stulf. left out of 800 acres.

I couldn't stand it any longer. I had to move." tne neres emu irom tne spinal column ana are suojected to pressure by the subluxated vertebrae of the spine.

Farmers Are Discouraged and Ready to Quit, Frank Mc-Naughton Learns TELLS OF OWN EXPERIENCE Caught in Fury of Blast and Seeks Shelter in Barn Livestock Frightened EDITOR'S NOTE. For two years dust has been transforming once fertile wheatlands of a region large as New England into desert. Since February the stqrms have reached unprecedented intensity. The United Press sent a Maff corespondent into the region worst affected, to report first hand what he saw and what he learned from the inhabitants.

His tcur will cany him through the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles. Eastern New Mexico. Southeastern Colorado, and Western Kansas. The fiit dispatch follows: By FRANK McNAl C.IITON. United Press Staff Correspondent.

(Copyright. 1935. by United Press.) CLAYTON. April 16 iU.P.) The wall of dust, at least 10.000 feet high, boiled over the horizon on the wings of a gale and engulfed me and even- animate and inanimate object in blackness laden with stinging dirt. I drove here from Felt.

through a region once called the I Bread basket of America." The I storm broke suddenly at about 5 jm. yesterday. Leaving Felt I heard cries of 'dust storm, diist storm." I saw men and women and children running toward their homes. Brave with inexperience I drove on. Storm Strikes.

Soon the fearsome force was upon me. Across the horizon the earth rc.se into the sky. At the top of the dense black wall was a wierd yellow fringe. I raced the storm for 5.5 miles, seeing the ground like the troubled of a vol canic pool, rising into the air. It caught me at the M.

H. Doerksen ranch. I wheeled into the ranch yard anil slopped six feet from the sto.it. tightly built stock barn. Bete re I could dash thioie the doors the dust hit.

I spat on my handkerchief and held it to my nose I could not see my hand at my face The dust was inescapable. It sifted through the double walls of the barn and made the air almost untroathable. It was like emery dust. My lungs still ache. Livestock Frightened.

In the stalls, frightened cattle bellowed and snorted incessantly. Gradually the first phase of the -term passed. I opened a door and after a time cculd see the outline of the automobile. After two hours I could see the ranch house CO feet away. In the next- few hours the storm thickened and thinned alternately several times.

Between me and the sun the dust streaked over the plains in sheets. In an interval of lieht I saw a chicKen's head protruding from a drift and pulled the bewildered bird free. Driving by Instinct. The remainder of the trip to Clayton was frightful. While in the barn two feet of dust had drifted against the car.

Driving was by instinct. Once ran into a ditch that had been filled with dust. Another time I ran over a farmer's mailbox which became visible only when it was a foot beyond the radiator cap. It is not flippancy when I say I had received a taste of what B. A.

Donaldson. L. M. Price. Preston Foreman.

G. E. Stewart and others told me last week when I visited Stratford. west of here, after a swing from Sayre, through the Texas Panhandle towns of Amarillo and Dalhai't. It seems tragically casual to report that the dust mantle has suffice! crops over millions of acres in the southwest.

But the men who own the land are not beating their breasts. Many, like Donaldson, who owns 1.000 acres of land near Stratford, have quit the light. Donaldson fought the reluctant earth eight years, drought another two. Two and a half months of dtut whipped him. Can Never Repair Damage.

"The damage will never be repaired." he said, sweeping; his arm in a wide circle over desolated wheat-fields, stripped of topsoil. "I couldn't sell my land now. Guess 111 just have. to lease it and leave." G. E.

Stewart, another wheat rancher, said, "there's lot of them talking about leaving-, especially renters people who couldn't hold on." Wears Gas Mask. A truck drove by. its wheels kicking up clouds of yellow dust. The driver wore a army gas mask. But storm wasn't bad then.

"You can see a quarter of a mile." Stewart pointed out. Stewart said his farm hadn't re ceived any appreciable rain since 1931. "When business takes a lick at a man. it's a depression." he said. "When nature it's, calamity." I saw mile afer mile of dust drifted like snow against the fences, Editorial of the Day of Mrs.

(Indianapolis Star) The joint resolution calling for the appropriation of $4,000,000,000 to be spent un-ler the personal direction of President Roosevelt specifies that the purpose is "to provide relief, relief work and to increase employment." The President makes the prediction that 3,500,000 unemployed will be given work before 15, as a result of the appropriation. The Doubting Thomases, of which there are many, do not believe anything like that number will be benefited either this year or next. They base their lack of on what has been the history of the administration's efforts. The NPvA was launched in 1033 with a flourish of trumpets and the announcement that it would put 5,000,000 people back to work within a year.

It not only did not make a serious dent in the unemployment situation, but is greatly discredited and many are advocating that it be abolished. Congress made available to the administration $3,300,000,000 for public works and relief activities. That fund was to "prime the pump" and get industry running in high, all of which it has not done. A check of those who are in the CCC camps, on the public work projects, relief and otherwise getting help through the expenditure of the funds already at the disposal shows a total of 3,696,000. The secretary of labor and the American Federation of Labor officials are in dispute as to whether the number out of employment is 10,000,000 or 13,000,000.

In either case it is recognized that it is larger than two years ago. A large percentage of those now getting help will have to be included in the number of those who will get work under the $4,000,000,000 program. Every one, of course, hopes for the maximum of benefits from the new appropriation, even if the results of earlier experiments and expenditures have not been up to 5 To Our Farmer Friends: WE ARE AGAIN OFFERING YOU HOPKINS FERTILIZER The same high grade Fertilizer used by Johnson County Farmers for many lone; years.
