600 people depend on the salmon in

where the salmon industry brings an

"Why is this discrimination against
the salmon industry Of the Columbia
Because handful of rich hshwheel
owners have been able to blind legis-

LYDIA E. PINkHAM

No other medicine has been so
successful in relieving the suffering

Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound has saved many women
from surgical operations.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable

The reason why Lydia Z. Pink

How Many Points On Our Star?

Most of us, IL asked how many

five, and cite the flag as proof, but
the Director of the Mint has lately
corrected this Misrepresentation in an.
swering an inquiry on the subject
He calls attention to the fact that
the stars on the great seal of the Uni.

President are five-pointed. but that
the stars are six-pointed on the seal
of the House of Representatives; and
further to the six-pointed stars or

dollar coins and the fve-pointed stars
OH the reverse. The reverse of these
coins is a copy of the great seal with
the clouds and stars omitted. So far
IS known, the six-pointed star comes
from copying the colonial coins made
after the manner of English heraldry,
which sanctions that star. The stars

Good burglar Alarm.

At the top OF the stairway in the
Grigson dwelling there was a board
that emitted loud creak whenever
anybody stepped on it. Mr.. Grigson
was always intending to "have the
thing fixed" but never did 1t, and by
common consent the members of the
family usually stepped over it, par
ticularly when the head of the family
had gone to bed.
One night, very late, just as Mr..
Grigson was dropping off to sleep.
somebody stepped on that board and
it gave forth it's customary loud pro-
test.
There you go again!" he angrily
called out. That's you this time,
John! Pretty time of night for you
to be getting to bed"
John, the eldest son, made no re-
spouse, but instead there was rush
and a jump down the stairs that
brought the whole household into the
hall just in time to hear the front
door slam. A hurried investigation
disclosed bag of valuables which
a frightened burlar had left.
The board still sqeaks.-Youth' S

The great orators have not been
the most fortunate aspirants for the
Presidency. Webster, Clay, Douglas,
and Blaine were idolized by their
followers, not only for their abilities
and personal traits, but also for their
persuasive powers of speech. Horace
Greeley, candidate of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans in 1872. was
not a notable orator, but was, none
the less, an effective talker. He made
a speaking tour in the latter part
of the campaign. and although his
position was an anomalous one. he
acquitted himself with credit, even
If he was overwhelmingly defeated.
Tilden, who in his free soil days
made speeches, obtained his mastery
by his pen, not by his tongue. Grant,
who was called the silent man be-
cause he could not make a speech
when he first became candidate,
learned to speak very we'll In public,

God Watches Us Lovingly.

The thought of Gods eye upon US
is usually looked upon as thought
to strain and bride us in the hour OF
temptation and carelessness; and SO
it is. But with our selfish love OF
forbidden things we miss what is
meant not merely to restrain us, but
to be the greatest and most unfailins
Of our comforts. The thought that
God sees us always is His great en-.
enlargement and help to His children
in doing right. His eye is not the eye
of Judge and ruler only, but of a
shepherd and father, the lover of the
souls of men, these poor souls of ours
and of our brethren, not sparing even
His own Son for them. We are being
watched by an eye of tenderness and
sympathy deeper and truer than even
that of any man on earth for his sui.

New York. says:
Trade this week has taken on most
of the characteristics of a midsum-
mer period. Retail business has been
helped by warm weather in most Sec
lions and by widespread reduction
sales. Jobbing houses have received
moderate filling-in orders and made
the usual clearance sales. Fall buy
ing has been and is cautious, but feel
ing is conservatively optimistic. Such
lines as leather, staple worsted
woods, agricultural implements and
few lines of steel products are more
active, but the great industries, as
q whole, are below normal activity
and summer shutdowns promise to
be more widely INDUCED in than for
some years past. Shoe shipments
since January 1, from Eastern cen
tiers are the smallest reported for II
years past. The railroads of the
country are making preparations
for crop moving and car repair ma
terial is being taken more freely.
Coal and lumber are quiet, but coke
S quite active. A slight decrease in
the number idle in the building
trades is reported. Labor is still
plentiful and cheap. Southern cot
ton yarn mills have apparently de-
cided against running any larger
quantity of machinery, pending i'm
proved demand and prices. There
is reported more doing in the ex-
port cotton goods trade and low
prices are causing a wide distribu-
ton of summer wash dress fabrics

The year 1924 was very wet.
Heavy rains fell frequently. Corn
on fiat lands was total failure. This
year the weevil destroyed the wheat

growth of thistles on the branch bot

The snow was of depth of from
two and half to three feet on a
level. 1t drifted much and was very
destructive to fruit trees. The
weather was intensely hot. Both in
1881 and 1882 the early frosts so
injured the corn as to entirely render
it worthless for almost any purpose.
