Record.

SpeCIHl 10 II!IeS-tepuUHCdH.
Pomeroy, Sept s. The Pomeroy
canning factory commenced operations
Saturday packing the famous Red Hell
met brand of sugar corn. With the 400
acres of good sweet corn in sight the
pack will largely exceed the output OF
previous years. They estimate over
half a million cans Our corn Is be-
coming to be one Of the standard
brands on the market as it finds its
way into nearly all the states from
Maine to California. The quality this
season is unusually good. The plant
has been enlarged and new machinery
installed, thus greatly facilitating OPP
erations Notwithstanding the poor
crop last year 1914 per cent divi-
dend was declared to the stockholders.

Things in the Bottom Drawer

There are whips and tops and pieces
of strings,
There are shoes which no little feet
wear;
There are bits of ribbon and broken
rings
And tresses of golden hair;
There are little dresses folded away
Out of the light of the sunny day.
There are dainty jackets that never
are worn,
There are toys and models of ships
There are books and pictures, all faded
and torn,
And marked by the finger tips
OF dimpled hands that have fallen to
dust,
Yet strive to think that the Lord
is just.
But feeling of bitterness fills my
Sometimes when try to pray,
That the Reaper has spared SO many
flowers
And I almost doubt that the Lord can
know
That a mothers heart can love them
so.
Then I think of the many weary ones
Who are waiting and watching to-
night,
For the slow return of the faltering
That have strayed from the paths
of right;
Who have darkened their lives by
shame and sin,
Whom the snares of the tempter have
gathered in.
They wander far in distant chimes,
They perish by fire and food,
And their hands are black with the
direst crimes
That kindled the wrath of God,
Yet a mothers song has soothed them
to rest,
She hath lulled them to slumber upon
her breast.
And then 1 think of my children,
three,
My babies that never grow old,
And know that they are waiting and
watching for me,
In the city with streets of gold,
Safe, safe from the cares of the weary
years
From sorrow and sin and war,
And thank my God with falling
tears,
For the things in the bottom drawer.

Mr.. Browns business kept him SO
occupied during the daytime that he
had little opportunity to enjoy the So
ciety of his own children. When some
national holiday gave him a day Of
leisure his young son was usually his
chosen companion. One day, however,
Mr.. Brown, reproached by the wistful
eyes of his seven-year-old daughter, re-
versed the order of things and invited
the little girl to go with him for long
walk
She was a shy, silent, small person,
and during the two hours stroll not a
single word could Mr.. Brown induce
the little maid to speak, but her shin
ing eyes attested that she appreciated
his efforts to amuse her-indeed, she
fairly glowed with suppressed happi-
ness. ..#.
Just before they reached home, how
ever, the child managed, but only after
q tremendous struggle with her inner
ent timidity, to find words to express
her gratitude.
Papa, what flower do you like best?"
she asked.
"Why, 1 don't know, my dear-sun-
flowers, guess"
"Then," cried the little girl, beaming
with gratitude, that's what I'll plant
on your grave!'-Woman's Home Com

w. D. Head Urges Them To Use Hyo-
mel. Willing To Sell It Ga Approval.
A new and specially valuable use
for Hyomei has been discovered, one
that will be particularly welcomed by
singers and public speakers. The
free use of Hyomei, breathed through
the inhaler that comes with every
outfit, carries healing balsams to the
head and throat, and strengthens the
voice. W. D. Heald has had several
of his customers speak to him in re-
gard to the good effects following the
use of Hyomei for this special pur-
pose, and will be glad to sell it on ap-
prevail to any singer, minister, teach
er, or public speaker.
He feels sure that the use of Hyo-
mel for this purpose will make many
new friends for the treatment. If it
does not give satisfaction, the money
paid will be returned promptly and
without questions. The complete
Hyomei outfit, consisting of an inhaler
that can be carried in the purse or
pocket, a bottle of Hyomei and q
medicine dropper, costs only one
dollar.
Many remarkable cures of catarrh
and other troubles of the air passages
have been made by Hyomei, and W.
D. Heald agrees to refund the money
to anyone who does not find it COM
plete cure for any catarrhal trouble.
There is no dangerous stomach
drugging with Hyomei; simply
breathe it through the inhaler, and
relief comes quickly.

Cats Fond of olives.

mine do, and l have six. Olives are
usually an acquired taste with the hu-
man race, but cats seem to take to
them naturally-at least mine do. An
olive will set any one of them into par
oxysms of joy. They will leave milk
or fish or any other article of food for
it, purring and rolling over 1t much
as though it might have the intoxicat-
ing effect Of catnip before they finally
eat it. 1 have often tried olives on
other cats in the houses of friends and

Ths Alameda's Nightmare,

The war ship that held up the Ala
media on her way down from San Fran
cisco was most probably Russian.
All of Japan's ships are concentrated
near the scene of hostilities, while 1t
is known that there are several Rus
sian vessels in this side of the Pacific
and on the Atlantic. In hailing the
Alameda she doubtless wished to as
sure herself that the vessel was not
Japanese. Had the vessel been one
of the Pacific Mail boats, loaded with
supplies for Japan, 1t is doubtful what
might have happened. The United
States has steadfastly denied the
right Of any nation to search American
ships on the high seas, and settled the
question with Great Britain in the
war of 1S12-15-that is, IL such ques.
tions can be settled with shot and the
bayonet. .,

WHY NOT USR LOAN MONEY.

1t matters not whether the money to
be expended on school houses that are
not extremely urgent comes out of the
loan or the current accounts appropri-
ations, it should not be used at this
time. The Loan money costs the Ter
ritory only four per cent. To replace
it in absolutely necessary directions
will cost five per cent, and wait un-
til November for the money, with the
unrest and dissatisfaction that any sys-
TEN of time warrants must bring to the
community. Bankers, business houses
about town and contractors are now
simply up tree as to what to do, and
there is nothing of real hopeful view
in the outlook for the next eight or
nine months. What is the Territory
to do in the meanwhile?
