or night. The doctors said that she could
not live.

right from the first. Five boxes of them
cured her. Dodds Kidney Pills were a

mend them to all suffering from Kidney

THE LABOR PROBLEM.
Efforts Being Made to Promote
White Immigration to the
Mississippi Delta.

The Illinois Central Railroad Co.
has industrial agents in Holland and
Sweden for the purpose of colonizing
white labor in the Yazoo- Mississippi
delta. Last year some fairly success
full experiments we're made with Ital-
ians and with Mexicans, and the COM
pany is now convinced that white Ia
Dor can be colonized in the delta with
the greatest success. 1t is their pur-
pose, so it is understood here, to bring
over here this fall several hundred i'm
migrants taken from the farming dis
tricts of northern Europe and colonize
them in the delta. These farmers are
regarded as the most expert tillers of
the soil in the world. They are thrifty
and frugal in their habits, and the
splendid returns which the delta soil
yields to even the most inferior labor
will, 1t is believed. induce many fam
lilies to cast their fortunes in this SEQ
ton.
Year by year it becomes more and
more manifest that the negro labor Is
growing mere and more independent of
farm life and is drifting gradually into
the cities and centers of population,
where he becomes indolent, as rule,
and swells the death roll and the GRIM
inal population. Much of the condition
Of the present cotton crop is attributed
the want of labor and to the unre-
liability of the negro. If sufficient Ia
Dor could have been commanded by
the farmers Immediately after the long
rainy spell of the early spring. the cot
ton crop could rave been redeemed al
most entirely, but field after field is
now grown up with grass and many
acres have been abandoned. The towns
ard cities have been secured by labor
agents, but the general demand for la
Dor on public improvements now so
general throughout the south and i'm
mense building booms makes 1t impos-
sible to secure farmhands as hereto
FORE
OF course, the railroads are vitality
interested in the labor problem, as they
are the heaviest sufferers from short
crop. Higher prices tend to compensate
the planter in q large measure, but
freight rates can not be run up and
down to suit over and under produc-
ticn. The Illinois Central officials are
therefore determined to meet the prob
lem promptly, and the delta planters
will doubtless cooperate with them in
every possible way.-Press dispatch.

The boys working in the field Of q
morning, when there is a current OF
wind blowing at the rate of ten miles
an hour enjoy the breeze because it
carries the perspiration from their
faces. They little think that the same
wsnd is carrying the water-fertility OF
the land away as rapidly as 1t does
from their faces. The boys can not
prevent the winds from blowing, but
the Agricultist wants TO teach them
that they can run pillow over the land
that will destroy the effects of the
winds. 1t requires 400 pounds of water
to pass through the corn roots to make
one pound of dry corn, therefore any
loss of that moisture cuts short the
corn yield in proportion. Frequent,
shallow civilizations are equivalent to
saving the fertility of the land. The
laws of nature are wonderful revealers

times up.
1t is reported that Paddy Duff has
been elected an honorary member Of
the Onegoallgo club of Montpelier.
1t was an unusually quiet crowd.
Standards homer was the only thing
that warmed them up to any great
amount of cheering.
Mcmahon would have done much bet
ter work on the bench than he did in
the field yesterday. His game leg made
him perfectly worthless at covering any
ground and he struck out twice out Of
four chances and made no hits.
Eaton had an of day with the stick,
striking out three times.
Burlington is only two games behind.
Umpire Bobby Burns did not choose
to stand Robertson's talk to him from
the bench and put him out Of the game,
and Rutland's reserve catcher played
first after the seventh.
The ball game was OF no interest
to the crowd when the horse, hitched
beside the road, got frightened at an
automobile and breaking away started
toward Barre at breakneck pace.

work if the rest Of the team had sup-
