Read 1t I'm His Newspaper

George Schaub, well known
German citizen of New Lebanon,
Ohio, Is a constant reader of the
Dayton Volkszeitung. He knows
that his paper aims to advertise
only the best In Its columns, and
when he saw Chamberlain's Pain
Balm advertised therein for lame
back, he did not hesitate In buying
a bottle of 1t for his wife, who for
eight weeks had suffered with the
most terrible pains In her back and
could get no relief. He says; "Af.
ter using the Pain Balm for a few
days my wife said to me, 4 feel as
though born anew and before
using the entire contents of the
bottle the unbearable pains had
entirely vanished and she could
again take up her household du-
ties" He Is very thankful and
hopes that all suffering likewise
will hear of her wonderful discov.
cry. This valuable llniment Is for
sale by G. W. Grier.

The Wether and Crop Conditions.

Partly cloudy weather with
shoxery conditions have prevailed
during the entire week. The max
imum temperatures ranged from
81 to 81 degrees, and the minimum
temperatures, from 40 to 81 degrees
Light thunder showers were quite
general or Friday, Saturday and
Sunday. The rainfall, mean tenn
perature and sunshine fol- the week
were all about normal. The
showery conditions, with normal
temptl atu,e and sunshine, have
been very favorable for the growth
of all crops. Wheat and rye are
In excellent condition, and harvest
will be early. Oats were badly In
iured by the drought, but are now
making fair progress. Pastures
are improving, and alfalfa Is being
cat; meadows are thickening, but
are short, and a light crop of
hay Is indicated. Gardens are
doing well; potatoes are making
rapid growth, and are being cult
waited, cabbage plants have been
mostly set out. Corn planting Is
completed, and corn Is being
cultivated for the first time,
although delayed to some extent by
the soil being too wet In some
counties. Flowing for buckwheat
Is In progress, and millet sowing Is
about completed. In the Panhandle
section, the prospect tor fair crop
of apples Is improving, but elsewhere
there will be few apples. There
will scarcely be any cherries,
peaches or pears, but an Abundance
of raspberries and blackberries Is In
dictated.
