A Virginia Wonder Has a Record Of

WASHINGTON, Oct. S.-Not single

pion hen has just laid 291 eggs since
October S. She is finishing strong and
steady and probably will end the year
with round 300 eggs to her credit,
This hen belongs to f. W. IStarnell,
Alexandria, Va, had been official re-
conlzed on account OF her record by
the Department of Agriculture as en-
titled to the egg laying belt. The
former record, held by Salt Lake
City hen, was 267 eggs In year. The
Mormon hen is thus put into the SELL
ing platter class by thelVirginia model
of poultry industry. Mr., Starnell
figures that except for the moulting
season his hen has produced an egg
every twenty-five hours throughout
the year She is not much for looks.
She couldn't be told at a glance from
any common ninety egg to the year
hen, but for industry she probably is
the worlds model hen to date.

A FORMER HARDIN GIRL.
Miss Nevermore Trainor Queen of the
Carnival in Muskogee is Well
Known in This City.


The crowning Of Miss Nevermore
Trainor a beautiful Cherokee girl Of
Muskogee, as queen Of the festival
there Oct. 9th added a touch OF ro-
nance to the occasion.
The choice of an Indian maiden as
queen of realm established by the
inhabitants of an Indian country
created everywhere expressions Of
hearty approval. When Colonel
George A. Murphy, on whom was bes-
towed the honor OF placing the Jewell
ed crown on her highness' head, al
luded to the appropriateness Of this,
in introducing the queen of her sub
jects, ripple of appreciation swept
over the audience. The words she
spoke in greeting her admirers were,
few, but extended welcome to all.
Miss Trainor is strikingly beautiful.
With a gentle tilt Of dignified chin,
and smiling black eyes, about which
however her raven hair, all Offset by
her gown, a real creation in white,
she defeated chance for duplicate
as ruler Of "the land OF gala week."
Miss Trainor displayed as much an
lety as to whether her crown twas
on straight" as any other girl would
under similar circumstances. After
the coronation she was placed in q
carriage, which appeared to be built
OF the national colors with a rider be-
fore and merry musical tune, an
nouncing the approach of the queen
as she was whirled down 1.-THE ramble"
and back again, distance OF half a
mile. Miss Trainor is the sister of
Mrs. Leo E. Bennett, wife OF the
United States marshal for the West
ern district.

A Few Of the Democratic speakers
throughout the State appear to think
it the proper caper not to mention
Governor Folk, or his splendid ad-
ministration OF the affairs nf Missouri.
Perhaps later these politicians will
change their minds in reference loths
matter. Just wait until the people
get chance to be heard from along
these lines. Is the Governor or his
administration to be ignored because
be enforces the law, and closes the
saloons in the State on Sunday?
What do those politicians think the

party, are made Of?

There can be no doubt about IL that
the tendency to resort to surgical opera
tions has been too great in the past and

OPERATIONS edies. Peruna has
AVOIDED. done as much as any

Thousands Of people have been con-
demned to undergo surgical operations.
Their physicians have told them that
they must either submit to such opera

After this they have resorted to
Peruna and found relief.
Other good remedies have accom-

assume that no other remedy has
equaled Peruna In its beneficent work.
Many Of the alleged incurable de-

upon catarrh.
There is no cure for these except tho
removal OF the catarrh.
Peruna seemingly works miracles in
some Of these cases. The explanation,
however, is very simple. Peruna re-

rest,
