The readers OF this paper will be
pleased TO learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con.
stitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature in
doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer one hundred dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send

SOCIETY EVENTS
OF The WEEK

Laramie Is noted for ideal autumn
hostesses select these golden fall hours
for many and important functions.
While the fair was naturally the prin.
cipal event of this week, and the races
were enjoyed by many merry parties
each day, time was still found for
numerous gay gatherings, as the an
nails of the passing hours record. Most
of the regular clubs and societies had
previously arranged their dates so as
not to conflict with the fair, SO the alb
sence of news of that type is very
marked. Last night the Shaw Theatri-
cal company closed its season, aban'
doning its tent for the Opera House,
and staging the most pretentious play
it has attempted before a large audi
ence, Nevada being the piece. At
Maennerchor hall the members OF the
German Lutheran church are conduct
ing a very successful two-night fair.
which will close this evening. The an.
nouncements for parties next week are
very numerous n many social func-
lions will also be given during thelear-
ly days of October. With the opening
of the university next week comes the
round Of social pleasures peculiar to
that institution and the young people
of the Methodist church will commence
the series by rendering the students a
reception in the church parlors next
Friday evening, the event being given
under the direct auspices of the Ep-
worth League.

The ladies of the Presbyterian Aid
society will give their first regular pub

is the supper which was originally
planned for fair week, but which was
postponed, and the same committees
will be in charge.

This boy lived in what Bro Hight
c. Moore calls 'the far, deep coun-
try" That is his pleasant Bunyanes-
que way of saying the backwoods.
Back yonder somewhere when he was
younger this lad needed somebody to
give him a slap on his back that would
make his teeth rattle and then grab
hold of his hard young arms and say
to him, "There's a better way than
going to the penitentiary to learn a
trade that beats moonshining You
can learn it in the schools and make
your own way while you're there.
Yes, you can; other boys are doing
it; you can do it, too
Yes, my son, it is a pity there are
so many boys who don't know about
it.
Mother, you'll have to take the lit
tie thing. She's fast asleep.

Cabbage Worms.

A. D. Mcdowell, an Oklahoma gar
dener, writes: "The green worm is
the plague of Our lives here. For some
time we could not raise cabbage be-
cause Of the worms till neighbor told
me the following: Take alum and dis
solve it in water and apply it to the
cabbage with a common sprinkler as
often as there are any worms to be
|seen. find that few applications
are sufficient. This remedy is entirely
harmless, not very expensive and is
sure destruction to the worms. Make
the solution quite strong with alum,
the amount you can determine for
yourself"
An Iowa gardener gives the follow
ing advice: eve take pint of barrel
salt and dissolve it in a gallon of water.
After the salt is thoroughly dissolved
we sprinkle it on the cabbage with
common garden sprinkler The result
is, we never have worm-eaten cabbage,
while Our neighbor across the road
loses his crop nearly every year,

New Ruling on Railroad Rates.

It is very strange how much thac
is important to agricultural interests,
the daily newspapers miss. The first
notice of the decision, which we print
below, was found in that far off paper
the California Fruit Grower The ag-
ricultural papers will have it next
week.
An important ruling has lust been
made by the Interstate Commerce
Commission covering the construc-
ton Of railway tariffs While the
reasonableness Of minimum carload
weight to which carload rates are tc
apply is recognized. the commission
entertains the opinion that shippers
should be given opportunity to use a
car which the carrier can furnish, If
The Florida agriculturist., 1907-07-17

4 car of the capacity desired by the
shipper cannot be furnished with
promptness, and the tariff should
provide that when carrier cannot
promptly furnish car of the capaci-
ty desired by the shipper it may be
used OH the basis Of the minimum
car applicable to the car ordered by
the shipper, and if a smaller car than
that ordered by the shipper is furnish
ed it may be used on the basis. OF the
actual weight when loaded to its Wis
ible capacity.
The commission also rules that in
structions of shippers as to the inter
mediate routing cannot be disregarded
by carriers unless the initial carrier
preserves the right to dictate inter
mediate routing in its tariff, and car
riers will be held responsible for the
routing shown in the bills Of lading.

What Grit and Git-up Will do fora Boy.

Many boys, whose parents are not
able to give them a college educa
ton, think that there is no chance for
them. The fact is that the records Of
history show that the ranks Of great
men are almost invariably recruited
from among the poor boys, who have
to struggle and earn their own edit
cation. The last number Of the Pro-
gressive Farmer, contained a talk
on this subject, put in very readable
form as follows:
No, my son, it isn't so much a
question of money. You are wrong
there. The money will come some
how, if only you don't mind work.
Lack of money doesn't keep boys out
of school any more; it doesn't keep
them out of the public schools, or
high schools, Or the technical schools,
Or the agricultural schools, or the COL
leges, or Johns Hopkins, Or Heidel-
berg. Let me talk to you a little
about this.
Have you fed Old Charlie? Parted
the COWS and calves? Got the kind
ling and stove wood ready?-soon
start, you know, in the morning, must
sweep clear through that cotton in
the big mulberry field Tomorrow
And your Sunday c1o-oh, you took
them off, you say, before going to the
barn. And, mama, you are through
with your supper things; here take
your rockin' chair. Old Danger?
There he is curled up on the cool
sand out there in the yard by the
elm tree. Here, let me hold the baby
tonight. She's daddy's own chum.
Click! Chooky-chooky-chooky!
AS was going on to say, my son,
it is not a question Of money If
that was so, all the poor people would
be cut off from a chance to go to
school, And you see that's not the
case. We've always had a tolerable
good public school right here at Cool
Spring, and now they're talking about
one Of those high schools at Maple
Grove to take the neighborhood schol-
ars still further along in their books.
All the children can go that want to
go. And it's the same way higher
up. The folks who furnish the edit
cation are the ones who wrestle with
the money question, and so far from
hX1ng 1t SO as to cut off the poor peo-
pie from an education, 1t is their main
study how to put it in reach of the
poor boys and girls who want it bad
enough to do their part to get it.
Anybody can get an education that
wants it.
Oh, if you haven't got money, of
course you'll have to work some to
get an education. That's the beauty
of it. Your father rather believes,
my son, that work is a good thing
There's discipline in it, It keeps yon
busy and that keeps you out Of a lot
OF trouble If you are working for Il
thing it's a pretty good sign you
want it and will value it and use it
properly when you do get it. The
education you have to work for is the
best kind. I have two boys in mind

went to school, in fact, in the same

sent to school by kind parents. Boy
number two went to school himself,
somehow. He had kind parents, too,
but they were poor, I reckon. Any
how their boy went to school, wasn't

wood, and lighted the town lamps to
get money I remember well hearing
how that when he applied for one Of
these jobs the man said: "Why, Will,
that's nigger's work"
And the man said that he never felt
such rebuke in his life as he got
from Will. Will looked hurt at first
for just a feeting moment, and then
looking grand and strong, he said, "I
can do anything nigger can!"-he
didn't say any more words, so the
man told me, but his looks seemed
to add-''and I can do it a sight bet
