COTTON CONDITION DECLINES.
average Is Iii, Against 7S.l Last
Nonth and Co.'S Last Year.

New York, September 30:-The
Journal of Commerce will tomorrow
publish its monthly report on the
condition of cotton on the average
date of September "a, as determined
by 1875 special reports from CORES.
'pondents. 1t will give the condition
Ill, against 7s.1 a month ago, a
deterioration of Z points. This COM
asres with 66.5 last year, 71.9 in
1906 and 69.4 in 1905. The de.
cline is not an unusual Que for Sep
sember, the year 1907 showing a
drop of "a points, 1906 drop of
5. Z points and 1894 drop of rs,
1908 drop Of li.s and 1902 a drop
of 6.3 points.
Since the commencement of these
reports in the year 1901 condition
aas only once exceeded the present
figure, namely, in 1906, when it was
7l.9. The general expectations of a
large crop, however, must be con-
sldered modified, unless exceptionally
favorable weather should prevail for
the remainder of the season. Drought
and high temperatures have been
the general causes of deterioration,
added to which boil weevils and boil
,.werms have been active in Texas,
Arkansas, Louisiana and Mississ-
ippi. Texas has been more fortunate
than other States, the loss for the
month showing only 80 points.
Georgia declines 4.6, so that the two
largest producing States suffered the
least. Excessive falling off occurred
N the following States:
.Nerth Carolina 1876 points, Miss
issippi 1913 points, Louisiana 13,
points, Arkansas 1876 points, Ten
nessee 15.5 points and Missouri 17.2
points. In South Carolina the de-
cline was 70, Florida 0,S, Alabama
:. as and IN Oklahoma 5 points.

Rheumatism Cannot Be
Cured Unless UriC=0 is Used
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and Paralysis
are Caused by Poisonous Uric and
Rheumatic Acids.

The Rheumatic person is skeptical regarding
the claims of almost any remedy advertised as a
cure for Rheumatism and one can scarcely blame
him for being so. All the plasters and linments
combined never actually cured case OF Rheu-
matsm. They may relieve it in one quarter, but
it is sure to break out somewhere else. The only
true way to cure Rheumatism is to drive it from
the system for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic
Acid remains in the blood, one is never entirely
free from the trouble. This is where the value OF
Uric-O as a permanent cure for rheumatism
comes in. 1t seeks out the Rheumatic poison In
the blood muscles and kidneys, renders it inert
and harmless and drives it out OF the system
That is why Uric-O is such an admirable and eff
fectve cure for Rheumatism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such wonder
ful cure for Rheumatism is, that it is designed
and prepared to cure Rheumatism and Rheuma-
tism only. 1t is composed of perfect anldotes
for the rheumatic acid poison in the system. That
is the secret of its wonderful success. Rheuma
tism simply cannot exist in a persons system ii
UricO is used.
Uric-O is sold by druggists at 15c. and Sl.00 the
bottle but if you still feel skeptical about It's
efficacy YOU can test it free of charge by cutting
out this advertisement and sending same togeth
err with your name and address, also the name OF
YOUR druggist, to The Smith Drug Company, 23s
Smith Bldg, Syracuse, n. Y, and they will send
you an order on the dealer for a 75c. bottle free.
Uric % is sold and personally recommended IN
Belfast by R. IL. Moody.

THE PARCELS POST.
What i. Said in Opposition to 1t.

The Capitalization of trade in the
great cities of the country resulting
from the growth of the mail order bust
ness is national menace OF tar reach
ing proportions.
Population follows trade. If the bust
ness is done in the country town and
village, of supplying the needs OF the
countryside for merchandise and manu-
featured articles of all kinds, the people
who carry ON the trade, the merchant
and his helpers, will live in the town or
village.
If, Oh the other hand, the trade is
done by mail, cutting out the country
merchant, the latter is finally driven
out of business, his store ceases to ex-
list, his village home lie abandoned, and
if he should continue in the trade, he
and his assistants must move to the
city and become employees for some
great centralized mail trade institution,
where men are mere machines, fitting
like cogs into one great wheel with
which they must day after day revolve.
The country merchant, with his self
reliance, his sturdy individuality, his
broad acquaintance, his knowledge of
local affairs and needs, his support for
local institutions, his civic usefulness,
his neighborIy offices, his public ser
vices, and his cooperation in move
ments for local improvement, has been
uprooted and driven away. There is no
one to take his place. The trade that
gave him his vocation has gone. And
with it has gone the prosperity C the
town or village which was his home.
The mail trade has destroyed them.
THE VILLAGE STORE.
The well-stocked general store of the
country town, which the mail trade
would destroy, is a great educational
influence in itself with its wares OF all
descriptions displayed to the eye, gath
ed from many places and supplying
many varied needs. The mental inter
est is awakened and stimulated by the
opportunity it gives to see with ones
own eyes the thing that will best sup:
ply need, and discuss its merits and
cost with the merchant or his salesman.
The social side of human nature is de-
veloped by the personal contact lnvolv-
ed in such intercourse and the trip to
town or village to make the purchase is
oftentimes one of the most agreeable
breaks in the monotOny of farm life for
the farmer and his family. They meet
there whole circle of friends whose
neighborly greetings give an added
cheeriness to the hOmely happenings of
the day. Blot all this out of the farm
er's life and you take from it something
that has human and social value that
cannot be measured by money, any
more than family affection can be so

THE APPLE SITUATION IN MAINE

Maine had good apple crop in the
past season, one of the largest since the
enormous crop of 1896. 1t is true, our
apples were, on account of the season,
somewhat understood, and for that rea-
son buyers did not flock into the State
as usual. Had our apples been of the
usual good size buyers would have been
here early in the fall and paid as high
prices as they did in western New York.
Maine apples, however, have good re-
reputation for their keeping qualities,
and buyers began to flock in later on
from the South, and West and offered
rel, buyers to furnish material and do
their part of the packing. The average
price was around $500 per barrel, and
and those who accepted it were the
fortunate ones. Hundreds of orchard
lists refused to sell at those prices, hop
ing to get So per barrel right through, for
Is and 2s. When the money stringency
and that senseless panic occurred the
buyers fled the State, in many cases
leaving their contracts unfulfilled, or
FORGETTING advance money.
In my own case l was fortunate in
selling all my Greetings, Bellflowers
and Fall red apples at a good round price
before the panic.
After this, just as l got ready for
shipment a carload of 100 barrels of
Baldwins, at an accepted price of 50 per
barrel, the panic and the slump in
in prices came, and my would-be south
ern buyer backed out from the trade,
and l had to send them to Liverpool.
The balance of my Baldwins are on
the way to Liverpool, and as the for
eign markets have improved l may
realize a fair price for them. Ny Rus
sets and Spies 1 always keep until
spring.
Lately buyers having been returning
to the State and offering $1.00 to $1.25
per barrel. Some have accepted. Some
have packed their apples and sent them
to Boston and some have shipped on
their own account to Liverpool. A
good many apples still remain in the
State to be sold or shipped somewhere.
The difference between $1.25 per bar
rel and an average of $3.50 last fall will
represent in some degree what the loss
in the aggregate must be to the orchard
lists of Maine.-W. P. A., in the Ameri-
can Cultivator.
