PLANTERS BIG PROFITS
Platte County Farmers Get Fine Prices
For Tobacco.

That Missouri planters are meeting
with great success in the tobacco
raising field is shown by a dispatch
just received from Louisville, KY. Il
quotes figures which show better thar
any amount of argument the splendid
profits made by planters of Platte
County, Mo.
Three crops of Burnley tobacco have
recently been sold in the Louisville
market at the following remarkable
prices:
One crop Of six hogsheads at I6. 90,
14.5o, 1925, 11.5O and $40.
Another crop of ten ~hogsheads a,
H.5o, l4.5o, 400, 1915, 1850, 1926,
1900, 1850, 1000 and $50.
Then there was still a sale of eight
h~ogsheads which brought 1900, 14OO.
1915, 1850, 1925, Ill |, 1918 and $50.
The announcement made a short
time ago that the Missouri counties
OF Pike, Galloway, Lincoln, Saline
and Charlton have climatic on
ditlons unusually suitable for the
raising of Burnley tobacco created
considerable stir among the farmers
OF these counties. And now that
Platte county has come forward with
such profitable sales it looks as If
Missouri will rapidly become n of
the best Burnley tobacco growing
states in the country.
Advices from various parts of the
state indicate that a number of pro-
gressive farmers have already taken
up seriously the matter of planting
Burley tobacco. 1t is claimed by to-
bacco experts that Missouri can
easily raise tobacco of the same
variety for which the Kentucky Blue
Grass Region is already famous, and
from which the Kentucky planters
have realized such splendid profits.
AS was shown in an interview with
a salesman from St. Louis seed house
some time ago, TIE Kentucky farm
ers ask 10 cents a pound for their to-
oacco and the more successful
among them find it no trick at all to
produce from 1900 to 1900 pounds
per acre. Even at 10 cents per
pound, as this St, Louis man brought
out 1900 pounds means $3.50 an acre.
The effect of this announcement
has already been to boom the farming
lands in the Missouri counties men
toned above and now that Platte
County has shown actual returns in
the open market-right in Kentucky
territory, in fact-Missiouri farmers
are pretty sure to go in strong for
tobacco raising,

Some years ago there was society formed. composed of some of the leading men of South ford, to look after this cemetery and see that it was cleaned up each year, This all went well for few years un- til finally some of those men who are interested in such matters left town and those that were left behind forgot all about it. But we will give due credit to the party who cleaned it up and will say that it was one of the greatest improvements that has been made in Southford for the past ten years.

IT DRAGS YOU SLOWLY DOWN

It's hard to keep an even temper with a dull pain nagging all day at your back; in fact, kidney troubles are at the bottom of very much of the nervousness and irritability that are so common today. You wonder why you are short and cross. can't keep your mind on one thing, are in- clined to worry over trifles and sub ject to fits of blues" and despond- ency. Partly it is due to that pain in your back, partly to the irritating effect of uric acid on your brain and nerves.
 Uric acid is a poison that is always forming in the body, and it is the duty of the kidneys to filter it out of the blood and pass it off, dissolved, in the urine. Healthy kidneys do this work thoroughly and well, but weak or sick kidneys get behind, and the waste matter collects here and there in the muscles, joints and nerve centers. Headache. dizzy spells, neuralgia, blurry spots before the eyes, nervousness and heart trouble, are sigDs of uric pois- oning.
 So do not wonder at your condi- tion, especially if the urine does not look or pass naturally. And if your back aches continually, or you are taken with sharp cricks and stitches

Phoenix dispatch in regard to a dis dressing incident concomitant with the territorial fair. We refer to the episode where a rash and we fear avaricious woman rented her switch to the friend of a friend and the switch failed to come back when il was due
 The capital city press treated this complication-we are sure its seri- ousness entities it to be termed com plication-with a great display of levity. One of our contemporaries. in whose good taste and appreciation of the fitness and value of things we have always held great confidence, makes it the theme of a bit of Kip linguesque doggerel, a tintinabulation about a hank of hair

TOOK BOTH HEADS OF DOUBLE HEADER TUCSON TEAM LEFT NOTHING
 FOR PHOENIX.
The First Game Long Drawn Out and Close-The Latter Easy.

Well, Gloom. desolate gloom, and also more gloom for Phoenix for even though we thought we had cinch fin the games with Tucson, mot SO" The old Pueblans dove down into the local pocket books and took the money away.
 At the same time there were watch full eyes on them when they did it and that first game was a wonder Every lover of good baseball who missed this game will be sorry the balance of his life. score of ? to 1 in favor of Tucson was the result and if Congo had played ball and forgot the grand stand, Phoenix would have made it a tie or better. The one run which was credited to Phoenix was made by Scott, and the manner in which he did it was most admirable. He got to first on balls and made a double steal from first to third, sliding in in both cases. With two outs and a weak batter, he took a chance for it and ran to home on a squarely pitched ball. which was fairly in the hands of the catcher, but he slid in and touched home first and then tainted from the over eXertion. This play, which tallied for Phoenix, was undoubtedly the best ever seen on the diamond in Phoe- nix. and this little boy should be
Arizona republican., 1908-11-16

credited with having made the play of his life. The grand stand went wild, and it is a good thing the fans were screened in or they would have been out on the field. Scott also sent hard one through center field in the twelfth inning which was picked off the fence and hastened on its homeward journey, but just too late to put him out on second. He tried another steal to third, but was out by a second. Thirteen innings were played in the first game.
 Powers umpired and it may be said that his decisions were acceptable to all. even to the megaphone howl CTS in the grand stand Williams pitched good ball for Phoenix and the lineup of both teams was given in the Republican Sunday It was expected and advertised that a morn ing game would be played, but owing to the fact that Tucson did not ar rive in time this was cut out and. following the first game, a second was partially played, being called in the fifth inning on account of dark ness.
 The score stood 9 to ia favor of Tucson, so Phoenix must credit it's guests with both games, but wait until next time and they will show them that Phoenix has some expert players.

ITO support what we deem a more proper position on this matter we call attention to the dignified con- sideration given a similar incident by the poet, Pope. Yet in the in stance dealt with by Pope's classic it was a single lock, not an entire switch, of which Belinda was bereft Now, while hirsute lore is not one of this sanctum's specialties, we feel no temerity in asserting that a switch is far more important matter than a lock and the abstraction of a switch is an infinitely more serious loss to its owner than the stealing of a lock.
 Thus having shown to our mis- guided contemporary that its sense of humor has run awry. we will dis miss the incident with this rebuke to the rash woman who rented her switch: On the lifeline there is a point where the lending or renting of wearing apparel should stop. and sthe danger signal is at the switch"

He was unable to sleep at night and during the day felt miserable. He consulted a spe- cialist who told him that his misery was due ito a deranged condition of his kidneys. but who was unable to help him. Hearing about Doan's Kid ney Pills he went to a drug store and procured a box. They helped him from the first, and a continued use resulted in a complete cure"
