only two days. Found the weather
here fine and warm and the grass
good for this time OF the year. We
met some OF our friends from Sa-
lem on their return trip not well
pleased with this country. Their
stay was so short. however, one or
two days and with no guides. that
they could not Judge the country. II

"Onc Touch of Nature Makes the
Whole World Kin"

When a rooster finds a big fat
worm he calls all the hens in the
farm yard to come and share it. A
similar trait of human nature is TO
be observed when man discovers
something exceptionally good--he
wants all his friends and nelghbors
to share the benefits of his discov.
cry. This is the touch of nature that
makes the whole world kin. This
explains why people who have been
cured by Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy write letters to the manufactu-
rers for publication, that others SIM
llarly ailing may also use It and OBJ
tain relief. Behind every one OF
these letters is a warm hearted wish
OF the writer to be OF use to someone
else. This remedy is for sale by DR..
Stne's drug store.

dered the county board of elections to

will ignore this order have aroused the
state officials.
The anti-Taft leaders say that Thomp-

will argue the law before the state super

ignored. The Taft forces will be on hand
with an array of legal talent.

There is nothing in the situation to
