FARM MEMORIES
Come Back in Food.

How often a good appetite and a crack
ing good meal will bring back memories
of old days on the farm! A mother says:
MY eldest son who has always had a
weak stomach was finally compelled to
give up his position.
II thought l could nurse him back to
health and began feeding him Grape
Nuts for breakfast and after a short time
he formed such liking for it that I con-
cluded to give it to him for supper too.
He wanted me to prepare 1T even
oftener, but / did not do so for | was
afraid he would take a dislike to the food
by getting too much of it and l felt GER
tain it would help him if he would only
continue its use.
s'He began to pick up rapidly and now
he is we'll and strong again and has gone
back to business and he holds with honor
a position that is very trying to the BRAIN.
Only yesterday he said to me 'Grape-Nuts
has certainly done wonders for me:
would not pass a day without it and 1T has
such a fine taste too. 1t puts me IN mind
of how we used to enjoy food on the farm
Il first saw Grape-Nuts at luncheon
one day at a friends house and as soon
as l tasted it 1 formed a liking for IT.
My friend had formerly been sick, but now
she lives almost entirely upon Grape-Nu

RIPPING THE WIND.
loves SPECIAL to Reach His Dying Child
Breaks the Record.
(Bv the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Los Angeles, Cal, Aug AT 1;O6
o'clock this afternoon the special train
bearing Henry p. Lowe, chief engineer Oh
the United States Steel Corporation, drew
in at La Gande Station, having complet-
ed a run from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
a distance of more than 5000 miles in the
fastest tins nn record.
Mr. Lowe LEFT New York on Tuesday,
August 4, at 2:45 p. m, and arrived IN
Los Angeles seventy-three hours and
twenty-one minutes more than three days
of actual running time, which includes the
three hours gained by running from east
to west. The run from Chicago was made
over the lines of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe Railroad, a distance of 2,256
miles. This run clips five hours and five
minutes off all previous records.
The econd-breaking run just finished by
Mr.. Lowe was undertaken to gain the
bedside of his eleven-year-old daughter,
who was dying in Los Angeles. The child
died early Thursday morning, but Mr..
Lowe was not advised of her death until
well on his way. AS the schedule had
been prepared by the railroad the trip
was continued as originally planned, ex-
cept that it was made in ten hours less
time than scheduled from Chicago to Los
Angeles.
The special reached San Bernardino
nine hours and twenty minutes ahead of
time. 1t then had a clear track to Los
Angeles, sixty three miles. The run over
this last stretch of track was a record
breaker, the speed at times being as fast
at seventy five miles an hour.
Mr.. Lowe was hastily driven to the
Westminster Hotel, where he joined his
wife, who has been Frustrated since the
death of her child.
The previous record for trans-conti-
mental run was made by c. Il. Peacock, a
director of the United States Steel Cor
poration, who made the run from Los An
geles to Chicago on March 2, 1900, over
the Santa Fe Railroad in fifty-seven
hours and fifty-six minutes.
This record stood until today, when it
was excelled by the Lowe special by five
hours and five minutes.

FIRST GUN OF THE "fNEMY."
Believed to Have. Been Feint Of the Hos
tile" Fleet,
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Portland, Me-, Aug. What is believed
to have been the first gun i'll the game OF
mimic war that is being played off the
eastern New England coast between two
fleets of the navy was heard tonight at Bar
Harbor in the direction of Mount Desert
Rock AT an early hour today several
vessels believed to have been a part of
Admiral Sands fleet, were sighted some
distance off shore, but disappeared short
ly after At 1915 o'clock tonight the in
habitants of the little town of Eden, gen
orally known as Bar Harbor, were startled
by the sound of heavy firing off at sea.
At that time the weather was clear and
full moon was shining brightly so that
observation off shore was possible for some
miles. 1t hardly seemed as if the enemy
would choose such conditions to run the
gauntlet of Admiral Parker's patrol and
as the firing only lasted about five min
utes. it was the general belief in Bar Har-
Dor that the attack was in the nature of
a feint.

Sixteenth.
\ Especial to News and observer)

Especial to News and Observer)
Kinston, n. CT, Aug An enthusiast
tic meeting of the Retail Grocers and Cen
eral Merchants Association in this city to-
American Tobacco Company goods and
copies will be forwarded to the forty as
sociations in the State, asking their con-
currence.
The movement was inaugurated by the
local organization on account OF the pres
ent low prices of tobacco, which are below
cost of production and which prices are
credited to the American Tobacco Com
pany The meeting was attended by large
number of the bushes men of Kinston,
who are unanimous in demanding conces-
sions from the trust i'll paying better
prices, or asking general boycott at the
bands of the retailers of the State.
The action of the local organization Is
expected to meet the approval OF the
merchants of the State and will be far
reaching in its effect. Every merchant IN
Kinston will be asked to sign the resolu-
tions adopted and copy will be sent to
the State and National associations. 1t was
also unanimously decided to hold mass
meeting of farmers and consumers on
August 10th, to endorse the action of the
association, at which prominent men in
the State will speak. "
The following resolutions We're adopted
Whereas the Retail Grocers and Cen
eral Merchants Association of kinston,
North Carolina, view with alarm the pres
ent low price of leaf tobacco and realize
that it is now selling below the cost of
production, and
Whereas, They can see that the pres
ent condition will bring ruin and disaster
to the farmers and merchants of North
Carolina; and
Whereas, We believe and charge that
the present deplorable prices are the re-
suit of the opposition and the arbitrary
fixing of prices by the American Tobacco
Company, and that said company is alone
responsible for the dangerous situation
which now seems. impending over the far
mers and merchants of the State, there
fore be it resolved:
First, That every member of this asso-
cation hereby pledge himself that he will
not buy any of the goods manufactured by
the American Tobacco Company, their
branches or satellites.
End, That he will not patronize the firms
who shall hereafter continue to buy or sell
the products Of said company, their
branches or satellites. The above resolu-
ton to go into effect September 1st, 1908,
unless by that date the said American
Tobacco Company shall pay fair, legiti-
mate and living prices to the farmer for
leaf tobacco
Srd, That this association invite the CO.
operation of all merchants. druggists and
others who handle for sale the products
of the American Tobacco Company in their
efforts to secure beneficial change in the
price of leaf tobacco.

Word was wired the manager at

that Pullman would meet the O..

this as it will give the local team
a chance to redeem herself and
we sincerely hope she will be able
to do it and score a victory for a
