A Good ~Sueeestion.

Street Commissioner VIM. Duccy
has had a force of men engaged for
several days cleaning up the city
cemetery and putting it in order for
Decoration Day. 1t has been sug-
gested that the cemetery be placed in
charge OF a regular sexton who will
look after all matters pertaining to the
better care Of the city of the dead. see
to the grave digging and other features.
This can only be done by donations,
and with the assistance of the Board
of Aldermen creating sufficient funds
TO justify the employment of a sexton
regularly. All citizens having friends
buried in the cemetery. or who own
lots there, would be willing to help
make up a general fund for this pur-
pose, so that the cemetery may be
properly looked after and kept in
shape so as to be an honor to our city.
This matter should be taken up at
once.

The Poles All Placed.

!. G. Blackburn informs US that
the telephone toll line between YER
sailles and Eldon is nearing compile

cerned- The crew working from YER
sailles are nov at Barnett, having COW
cred a mile each day this week.
The Eldon crew will meet them at
Barnett, and would have been there
but their supply OF poles gave out
causing them temporary delay. At
this rate the linemen will soon be
ready to string the wires and it will
only be a short time until service can
be had between Versailles and Eldon
which will be a great convenience to
the citizens of both cities.

viii Loests In NevS6s.

Attorney VIM. Forman arrived
home on Thursday Of last week from
several weeks visit with his brothers
located at Tonopah, Nevada, the
great gold field Of the West. Mr.. For.
man was so ~favorably impressed with
the new country that he at once de-
cided to close up his business affairs
here and become a resident Of Tono-
pah. This decision was augmented
by his brothers who held out Ratter-
ing inducements to be SUI he would
accept, and about the first of June
will start for his new Nevada home.
Our citizens with one accord regret
to see Attorney Forman leave YER
sailles to become a resident of another
community. Men Of his professional
ability are hard to replace. He has
been an active member of the Nor
gan County bar about fifteen years and
is one of the ablest lawyers in this Sec
ton of the state. He served two
terms as Mayor of this city, his last
term having expired only a few weeks
before making his visit to Nevada.
In his official capacity he served the
city with that intelligence and in
tegrity which not only reflected credit
upon himself as a public servant but
redounded to the best interests of the
city. BY his departure Versailles
will lose one of her best public men,
while Tonopah will be the gamer,
as his progressive spirit will not be
long in asserting itself. He not only
succeeded here in a professional way,
but as a side issue has built up an en-
viable reputation as a breeder of fine
hogs. his famous Berkshire pens be-
ing known in all parts of the United
States.
Mr.. Forman will follow his legal
profession in his new home, and the
general works of his law library
will be retained and taken with him.
The good wishes of this community
60 with Attorney Forman to his new
home and all can commend him to
the people of Tonopah as a worthy and
desirable citizen. Mr.. Forman's fam
lily will remain in Versailles for the
present, but will possibly follow him
after he becomes settled in business
at his new location.

Washineton's Outlook

Governor Mead of Washington says,
in the Sunset Magazine for July, that
Washington has nearly doubled in
population in five years; that the peo-
pie of his state have an abiding faith
in its resources and believe when
they are exploited and the charms of
climate and location become known,
that the Pacific northwest will assume
commanding and perhaps a fore
most position among the favored re-
gions of the world. The most advan-
tageous shipping point from the north
west shore of the Pacific is Puget
sound. Add to this the fact that with.
in the borders of the state of Wash
ington are the timber, fishing, mineral,
coal, pastoral, agricultural and horti-
cultural resources Of an empire and
a population drawn from the sturdi-
est and most progressive stock OF this
and other nations.

what inconspicuous flower of the field
she will preserve as the symbol Of
Thoughts that do often lie too deep

knows nothing of the market price Of
precious stones or the costly splendor
or rare orchids. The thing that
pleases her is the thing she will hold
fast And yet do not doubt that the
most important things are always the
best remembered; only we must learn
the real importance Of what we see

MARKETING POTATO CROPS.

In line with the classic case OF the
oyster shippers, cited by Presidest
Hadley of Yale University In his book
on Railroad Transportation. is the case
of the Aroostook potato growers
brought by President futile OF the
Boston ard Maine Rai..oai 5c.I.e he
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce, Nothing could better show
how a railroad works for the interest
OF the localities which il serves.
A main dependence of the farmers
of the Aroostook region Is the potato
crop, aggregating annually eight TO
ten million bushels, which find a mar
ket largely in Boston and the adjacent
thickly settled regions OF New Eng
land. The competition of cheap water
transportation from Maine to all points
along the New England coast keeps
railroad freight rates on these pota-
toes always at a very low level.
Potatoes are also a considerable out
put of the truck farms OF Michigan,
their normal market being obtained in
and through Detroit and Chicago and
other communities of that region.
Not many years ago favoring sun
and rains brought tremendous yield
of potatoes from the Michigan fields.
At normal rates and prices there
would have been a glut of the custom
airy markets and the potatoes would
have rotted on the farms. To help
the potato growers the railroads from
Michigan made unprecedentedly low
rates on potatoes 10 every reachable
market, even carrying them in large
quantities to place SO remote as Bos-
ton. The Aroostook growers had 10
reduce the price on their potatoes and
even then could not dispose of them
unless the Boston and Maine Railroad
reduced its already low rate, which II
did. BY means Of these low rates,
making possible low prices, the potato
crops of both Michigan and Maine
were finally marketed Everybody
eats potatoes, and that year every
body had all the potatoes he wanted.
While the Michigan railroads made
rates that would have been ruinous TO
the railroads, had they been applied
10 the movement OF all potatoes at all
times, to all places. they helped their
patrons TO find markets then. The
Boston and Maine Railroad suffered a
decrease in its revenue from potatoes.
but it enabled the Aroostook farmers
TO market their crop and thereby TO
obtain money which they spent for the
varied supplies which tn railroads
brought to them. If the making Of
rates were subject to government al
adjustment such radical and prompt
action could never have been taken,
because it is well established that If
a rate be once reduced by railroad
company il cannot be restored through
the red tape of governmental proce
dure. If the Michigan railroads and
the Boston and Maine Railroad had
been subjected to governmental limi-
tation they would have felt obliged to
keep up their rates as do the railroads
of France and England and Germany
under governmental limitation and let
the potatoes rot. r hdn1e.

-Four Facts For
Sick Women
To ConSidez
= lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Has an UnequaAed Record Of Cures
Mrs. pinkham'S AdUiee Is ConfIden-
1aI, Free, and aItcdys Helpful

FIRsr-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as baclxache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhoa,
disbursements of the uterus, pain In
the side. burning sensation in the stom-
ach. bearingdown pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SECoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number of
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
Il. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women TO be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian inflammation, weak.
ness and displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom-
ing its pains. IL has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRD.-The great volume of unso-
hcited and grateful testimonials on file
at the Pinbham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value of Lydia
f. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and
Mrs Pinkham's advice.
= FoURrH.-Every ailing woman in the
United States is asked to accept the
following invitation. 1t is free, will
bring you health and may save your
life.
Mrs. Plnkham's Standing Invitation
oWomcn.--Women suffering from any
form of female weakness are invited to
promptly communicate with Mrs Pink
ham. at Lynn, Mass. All letters are
received, opened. read and answered
by women only. From symptoms given,
your trouble may be located and the
quickest and surest way of recovery
advised. Out of the vast volume of ex-
periense in treating female ills Mrs.
Pinllham probably has the very knowl-
edge that will help your case. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very foolish
if she does not take advantage CT this
generous offer of assistance.

softly. He had not gone far when he
was requested to desist. Seeking a
reason for this rule. he was told that
whistling would interfere with boats

whistle that would cause the trouble, +"
he was told, but if whistling were al
lowed, there would be a chorus of 1t
going on most of the time. and then
the boatswain's whistle would stand a
poor chance of being heard"
