roo MUCH RAIN INJURIES CROPS.
Cold Weather Checks Maturity of Corn
Throughout United states.

Cold Weather Checks Maturity of Corn
throughout United states.
The weather bureaus weekly summary
of crop conditions is as follows:
In the northern districts east Of the
Rocky Mountains the week ended Aug.
81 was abnormally cool, with excessive
rainfall, except for a few limited areas.
In the Southern States and over the
southern portions of the central valleys
and middle Atlantic States the temporal
ture averaged about the normal and was
generally favorable for the advancement
Of crops, although portions of the south
Atlantic and east gulf districts suffered
from excessive heat. Portions of the
south Atlantic and east gulf States and
of Tennessee, southern Missouri, Arkan-
sas and western Texas are in need OF
rain, while heavy rains in the Missouri
valley and lake region have delayed work,
causing injury to grain in shock and
retarded the maturity of crops. Showers
In the north Pacific coast States have
been highly beneficial.
Light frosts, causing no serious dam
age, were Of general occurrence in the
middle and northern Rocky Mountain
districts Aug. p and %
Over the northern portion of the north
ern belt cool, wet weather has been very
unfavorable for the advancement OF CORN,
which is urgently in need of warm, dry
weather More favorable conditions pre-
vailed over the southern portion Of the
northern belt, where the crop has made
good progress. The outlook in the upper
Ohio valley, where corn has suffered Sc
riously from drouth, has been greatly i'm
proved by recent rains. Cutting is in pro-
gress in the southern portions OF Kan
sas and Missouri.
1Nhe harvest of spring wheat Is finish
ed, except in the northern Rocky Noun
tain States and on the north Pacific
coast. where rains have delayed it's COM
pletion. In the Dakotas, Nebraska, Min
nesota and Wisconsin stacking and
thrashing have been seriously interrupt
ed and considerable damage has been
caused by excessive moisture.
While there has been some improve
ment in the condition of cotton, mainly
in portions of the central districts, the
crop as a whole has suffered deteriora-
ton, rust and shedding being very gen.
eral throughout the belt, and premature
opening in some of the eastern districts,
where excessive heat proved unfavorable
Picking is general throughout the
southern districts of the cotton belt.

A Prize Package.

DR.. Parker offers you prize package.
1t contains 50 Tonetic Tablets, 6 Liveroid
Tablets and complete constitutional treat
ment. No other package of medicine
contains so much, and such complete
treatment. When all other remedies
have failed, this will afford relief in Sc
we're cases of humours caused by poor
and watery blood and rundown condi-
ton of body 1t cures all troubles accom-
panying this condition, such as back
aches, headaches, legaches, anemia, dizzi-
ness, exhaustion, nervous apprehension,
indigestion, sleeplessness and loss OF
appetite.
The treatment beginning with DR..
Parker's Liveroid Tablets purifies the
liver and the bowels, which are cleansed
of any stagnant accumulations, and the
system is thus prepared to begin the
tonic treatment of DR.. Parker's Tonetic
Tablets. These will enrich the blood,
tone up the stomach, restore the appe-
tite, cure the indigestion and give new
energy to the nerve centres, upon which
depends the vitality of every organ. This
combined treatment will build you up
organ by organ, nerve by nerve, until
you are made over, renewed, restored
to youthful vigor.
DR.. Parker's Tonetic Tablets-the
latest production of medical science
prepared from purest drugs of rare
medicinal properties.
Each box contains so Tonetic Tablets
for Body, Blood and Nerves, and small
box of Liveroid Tablets for Liver and

Fighting the Boil weevil.

Ask a Texas planter what is ri!
greatest problem to-day and he will say
1.-THE boil weevil." A Texas merchant
will make the same reply. Five hundred
delegates are now in session In Dallas to
consider this assassin. Before winter Is
over we shall hear of him in Congress. II
his advance is not checked, every Ameri-
can will feel him in his pocketbook. A
beetle with huge proooscis, ne came
originally from Mexico. We heard moth
ing of him on this side till the extension
of cotton-growing in the southern coun-
ties of Texas made bridge for him to
cross the Rio Grande, and he was first
noticed in Bee County, Texas, in 1894.
The Agricultural Department experts
proposed to the Texas Legislature to
stop growing cotton along the river for
two wears and starve the assassin out.
TfrWho is going to pay the planters for
this sacrificep asked the legislators.
Insecticide does no good. Going over
the field with revolving brushes that
sweep off the affected plants is too cost
ly. The hope that certain green

$50, 100000 year in Texas. Last year,
a large number of representative cotton
men, with Government experts and en-
tomologists to advise, met in Dallas to
begin a systematic fight against the
enemy. At their behest, the State Gov
eminent offered $50, 900 to any one who
would find remedy for the evil. Every
body thought that surely now that the
matter had been taken up seriously re-
suits would soon follow. Thousands OF
methods have been exploited without
anybody having shadow of claim to
the reward.
Despite the efforts of the experts,
there is no abatement to the ravages
this year. The present convention con-
sists of men representing the cotton in
terests not only of Texas but of all parts
of the South and even the North. Texas
to-day would doubtless give ten million
dollars as quickly as it would have given
fifty thousand year ago for remedy.

DO GOOD-IT PAYS,

A Chicago man has observed that,
"Good deeds are better than real estate
deeds-some of the latter are worthless.
Act kindly and gently, show sympathy
and lend a helping hand. You cannot
possibly lose by It." Most men appre-
ciate a kind word and encouragement
more than substantial help. There are
persons in this community who might
truthfully say: "My good friend, cheer
up. A few doses of Chamberlain
Cough Remedy will rid you of your cold,
and there is no danger whatever from
pneumonia when you use that medicine
1t always cures. I know 1t for 1t has
helped me out many a time" Sold oy

The Grand Trunks annual Boston
excursion was run on MONDAY. Inc
sale of tickets for the forenoon trains at
this station has been rather lighter than
is usually the case. A large number
went from Norway.
1t is suggested that it would be well
this week, while the several hundred
visitors to the Sunday School convention
are in town, if the citizens would relieve
the darkness of the streets as far as
possible, by hanging out lanterns in the
evening.
A most bountiful harvest supper was
set out by the Congregational Circle at
the vestry Friday evening. 1t was well
patronized, too, not less than $50 people
partaking of it and being filled. After
supper an entertainment was given with
the programme published last week.
Some first-class music was given, and
the programme closed with the comedy, |
'Our Aunt Robertina." This kept the
audience in roars of laughter, and
brought out some hitherto unsupported,
or at least unappreciated, dramatic
talent
