The Great Army of Agriculturalists.

According % the last report of the
Commissioners of \ Agriculture it appears
that 100000 persons an lhe United
5 ates are engaged in farming pursuits.
The total value of farms and farm i'm
plements is s13, 461 200, 433, or two
thirds of the productive wealth of the
nation, Tie value of farm products
and live stock for 1918 N4s So, 900,
600, 900 against 81, 500, 900, 900 of min
ing and manufacturing products. From
this it 2rpears that not only a mdiicc!rit ~
of the adult population Of the United
States is engaged in agriculture, but
that more than one-half the wealth of
the country is invested in that industry.

FINE ARTS.
Few notes Of Interest from the
studio Of Homer A. Herr.

0tuOaO Of Homer A. hoff.
1t is an enviabls privilege anu pleas
ure we enjoy Of visiting the studio in
the Masonic Temple, of four we'll known
artist, Homer A. Herr, whenever and
at whatever time we feel 80 inclined.
Mr.. Herr is very busily engaged in
completing some studies preparatory to
the painting Of some important works.
The sk etches, drawing, studies, &c, &c,
shown us are certainly very fine and
replete with the requirements Of good,
fine and couscientiousa art. He has made
among his summer studies, many
sketches along the line Of the W. u N.
r, r. and they certainly reflect the su'
periOr natural beauties of the scenery
along it's picturesque line. They will
doubtless be the means of attracting
many of our citizens, now unfamiliar
with its beauties, to the enjoyment OF
the Brandywine along the line OF this
road. Next to nature is the work OF
some good and sympathetic artist, as
the charming work Of Mr.. Herr certain
ly proves him to be. His Mount Desert
sketches are also very interesting,
though vastly different in their charac-
ter. We must reserve for future no.
tice the description Of any particular
work as time and space forbid to-day.
Mr.. Herr has also some portrait work
on hand and is doing somo illustrating
for one of Americas prominent month
" magazines, which promises to % very
fine. Among his many lady and gen
tlemen pupils, some Of whose Work nc
showed us, there seems to be some prom
isinp material, and the efforts of a young
man by the name Of Robert Shaw, son
of David Shaw in the country, Is quite
promising, and he will no doub prove
a worthy pupil of so good master.

Death Of Dr, AAlekS.

A postal card from Collegeville
Montgomery County, Pennsy vania, to
the REPUBLICAN,, announces the death
of DR.. Thomas f. Hicks at that place,
on Thursday last at noon, peacefully
after an illness Of several weeks, said
to be the result of over work and men
tai exhaustion. To which heavy cold
contracted while on u journey, gave a
fatal turn. DR.. hicks opened ily-
geian Home at Coliegeville last spring,
and his whole mind seemed ~ ba
wrapped up in the enterprise. Dr.
Hicks was also n minister Of the Cos.
pei, holding his membership in ths
Methodist Church, but being free
from sectarian bias he was al accepted
minister in ali denominations that
we're inclined to adopt broad liberal
sentiment.
Dr. Hicks was noted for deep pinty.
and that fine, warm, genial spirit that
made friends of all with whom he came
in contact While he lived in this city
he was interested in the diSSeninati9I
OF religious tracts ard periodicals, and
for several years he published paper
called the Wayside which at one time
had large circulation. He was an
enthusiastic aud persistent worker in
the cause of Temperance, and gained
considerable notoriety in the discus
sion of the Temperance question with
au Ohio physician some years ago, in
which Or. Hicks signaliy triumphed.
DR.. Hicks has hosts Of friends in this
city who will regret to hear Of his
death.

THE rRKArnEsT or AsraMA.
1oaethlng Ab0ut Preparation
Formulated by IN OhfO Rbysi.
eian-MedlciDo that Never Fails.

There is no disease more common in
the United States than asthma, and 1t
is one of the most distressing Of the
many ills that flesh is heir too Scores,if
not hundreds OF so.called remedies have
been brought out at one time and
another, on behalf OF which it was
claimed that they could be depended
upon to cure this com plant, though
some Of them are undoubtedly possessed
Of much merit, yet 1t is an established
fact that none Of them can be compared
to the preparation known as DR.. Hairs
Asthma Cure. 1t was formulated BY
DIR. B. W. Hair Of Ohio, who was for
many years great sufferer from astb-
ma, and who tried in vain dozens Of the
various preparations on the market. He
studied the various aspects of the dis
ease from a scientific point of view, and
af length satisfied himself that asthma
is not local disease, but dit order or
poison of the blood. Arguing from this
he declared that it must be eradicated
by constitutional treatment, and as an
agent thereof he prepared the medicine
that now bears his name. Having-cOm-
pleteiv cured himself DR.. Hair next
used his remedy in his private practice,
and not until recently did he think OF
paten5ing it or Of introducing 1t in any
way but by that OF individual prescrip.
tion, tho ethics of the medical profession
are directly opposed to advertising, and
he hesitated long about disregarding
them. Convinced at length that it was
his bounaen duty so to do, he placed
the remedy in the hands Of the public,
and is now enjoying an immense sale.
