EDITORIAL OPINION
Electricity on the Farm.
trrOm the Florida Times unIonl

Thirty or forty farmers Of Kane coun-
ty. ILL.,, have been experimenting q year
past with electricity to their own satis-
faction that they can make the electric
motor take the place of nearly all hu-
man ana horse labor on the farm.
"Their estimate OF the saving IN la
Dor and money over former methods Is
put at so per cent. The experimental
stage has been passed and electricity is
the permanent future power Of their
farms.
"These farmers estimate also that the
electric motor will enhance the value OF
their farm property fully as great a
percentage. Land In the section is now
valued at from $40 to S125 an acre.
Our schools should qualify the boys Of
to-day for the work they must do. Wa
ter power can be found within reach OF
almost every farm--artesian wells could
supply the place OF streams in Florida.
With a cheap power electricity could
be applied on our farms without eNor-
hitant cost. and even this would be
compensated by a gain of 90 per cent.
to the value Of land. OF all the sec
tions in the country shall modern in
ventons do nothing for the South only?
/ Accept this decision, and we shall socn
occupy only an intermediate position
between the rest Of our countrymen
and the backward lands"

FROM THE ASHES.
Baltimore Family's Experience Points
a Moral TO Residents Of
Wilminoton.

Wilmington.
The visitor to Baltimore today
scarcely realizes that less than a year
ago the city was almost destroyed by
a memorable fire. similar compar-
ison might be made by George w.
Nally, one of the leading citizens OF
Baltimore, as to The change in his
own looks.
A short time ago, Mr.. Nally writ
ing from his home address, 2213 Bar
clay ST., says Il have been troubled
for years with catarrh and had re-
sorted to all remedies that could be
thought of. My wife was also afflicted
with this terrible disease, but all the
treatments we used were an absolute
failure until we tried Hyomei. II
worked like a charm and has made
a complete cure in both OF our cases.
There is no disagreeable stomach
dosing in using Hyomei We breath
ed it, and its fragrance, so clean, pure
and bracing, killed all the catarrhal
germs in the head. throat, and lungs.
/ The experience Of Mr.. Nally and his
/ wife certainly points a moral to all
readers OF The Evening Journal who
are suffering from catarrh. 1t shows
how they can be cured of this fright
ful disease. without dangerous stom-
ach dosing.
T. James Belt the local agent for
Hyomei. has so much faith in the
treatment that he gives his personal
guarantee TO refund the money in case
| It does not benefit. A complete out
fit costs one dollar, the extra bottles
are but fifty cents. Ask to see the
strong guarantee under which Hyomei
is sold.

Ultima Thule.
BY Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
With favoring winds Ger sunlit seas
We sailed for the Hesperides.

That land OF fiction and of truth,

which proved conclusively that the man

them Immediately for a return engage
ment The act is fresh and presents many
of the old time melodies that will always
be popular with the public. Name Rem
ington has some bright and clever pick

Babes but after all Miss Remington her
self IS the real feature of the act. Allen
Doone presents some delightful Irish
comedy and sings to the entertainment
Of everyone. He has a sweet voice and q
pleasing personality, and is given excel
lent assistance in the person of a pretty
girl who appears on the program as Miss
Eda Kelley. Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Thorn,

will find it difficult to offer anything Sc
well suited to their talents as "An Up
