A GOOD MEETING.
The Farmers Institute Brings out Some
Splendid Talks and Papers, if not
Very Large Crowd.

We should be glad if some of the
farmers who might have attended the
Institute last Friday but did not,
would tell us why they stayed away.
The meeting was advertised in all the
county papers and must therefore
have been well known all over the
county. And yet at no time during
the day were more than forty farmers
presents, although the program pub
lished was certainly an attractive
one. We do not want to be under
stood as scolding about this small at
tendance, for of course we have no
right to call anybody to account for
failure to attend purely voluntary
meeting. But it seems to US that if
we were in the farming business we
would have come thirty miles to at
tend that meeting, and we are curious
to know why the farmers generally
were not more interested in it. We
are very certain that those who were
there will bear testimony that they
got information and pointers" worth
many times the time and the trouble
they spent in attending the meeting.

GladneSS Comes

With a better understanding of the
Wv transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle effOrts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but If in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.

completed her and put in the machinery.
She proved to be just what was needed
for the lower river, handling easily in
the swift waters below the Cascades,
and being phenomenal Climber of that
rapid current. She cost altogether
about $24 900.

The officers and crew are still on
board, and cannot get of. until the river
either clears of running ice or freezes up,
but as they have plenty of wood and

of potatoes and pork, and some other
things, they can stand a pretty long

The Figures Won't Lie.

If you want to amuse yourself, make
your friends believe you are extraoI-
dinarily gifted, and do little practicing
in mental arithmetic, get familiar with
doing the following, and you will never
fail to discover the age of a person and
month in which he was born. First,
you ask him to go to the other end of
the room, to prevent your seeing what
he is going to write. Then you ask him
to put down the number of the month
in which he was born, and multiply it
by 2, then add to the cum, and multi
ply that by so, add his age to the quo
tient, then deduct S65, and then add 115
to the difference. Suppose he is 40
years of age, and was BORN in February,
the computation would stand thus: Two
times 2 equals 4, plus equals 9, multi
piled by so equals 450, plus 49 equals
499, minus 1856 equals 134, plus lis
equals 249. The last two figures indi-
cate the age, and the first figure Feb
ruary, the second month of the year.
You simply ask the person to state the
result of the calculation aud then declare
he was born in February and is 49 years
of age.
