Chamberlain'S Liniment.

This is a new preparation and a
good one. 1t is especially valu-
able as a cure for chronic and
muscular rheumatism, and for the
relief from pain which it affords
in acute inhammatory rheuma-
tism. Those who have used it
have invariably spoken of it in
the highest terms of praise. Lame
back, lame shoulder and stiff neck
are due to rheumatism of the
muscles, usually brought on by
exposure to cold or damp, and are
quickly curey by applying this
liniment freely and massaging the
affected parts. Soreness of the
muscles, whether induced by vio-
lent exercise or injury, is allayed
by this liniment. For sale by K.

FACTS & OBSERVATIONS

The writer spent Thursday in
Grassy Lick and Wades Mill
neighborhood, and had fine oppor-
tunity to see the results of the
storm of preceding week. We
have never seen farm lands so
washed and cut. Acres of plant
ed corn have been washed up or
destroyed and same is true, of
many tobacco plants. Hill side
plowed land bordering on and above
pike have made dirt roads instead
of pixies. Fences, water gaps and
stone fences have been torn out.
Farm work has been delayed and
farmers have sustained heavy
losses.
VIM. Ragland's widowed daugh-
ter who for nearly three years has
been in Albuquerque, New Mex
leo, as an invalid, returned home
about 2 weeks before we called.
She had walked out in the yard
only once. Her husband died in
New Mexico.
Mr.. Harvey Rogers continues
to improve.
BASE BALL.
The mania for this sport is not
confined to the towns. We heard
of farmers about 8 miles from
Winchester who were reported as
never missing a game, and one
fine man intimated that 1.-THE coun-
ty is wild or crazy" Perhaps
they are keeping pace with folks
in Winchester for this great sport.
The Reid graveyard near Sew
ellis Shop was being enclosed with a
nice iron fence.
We always enjoy a drive to the
country, not merely for the bust
ness accomplished, but for social
greetings; a communion with ma
ture in sight and sound, and the
freshness and inspiration which
come to those who thus live.

Do It Now.

Now is the time to get rid of
your rheumatism. You can do so
by applying Chamberlain's Lini-
ment. Nine cases out of ten are
simply muscular reumatism due to
cold or damp, or chronic rheuma-
tism, and yield to the vigorous ap-
plication of this liniment. Try it.
You are certain to be delighted
with the quick relief which it af-
fords. Sold by K. II. White &

WHEAT NEEDED HERE
SAYS JAMES j. HILL
Railway Masnate Declares the Days,
OF Sig Grain Exports are Over
No Corner.

SEATTLE, June II. ]. Hill, chair
man of the Great Northern board of
directors, discussing the recent wheat
corner said:
1T is mistake to say James A.
Patten ccrnered the wheat market.
Here is merely case of a man stak-
ing advantage of an opportunity. 1t
has been but few years since it WIS
estimated that the average consump-
tion of wheat per annum in this coun-
try was six bushels, but now the ex-
perts argue that it is seven bushels
and some pounds, The census of 1910
will show that We have a population
of 90.000,00O, which will mean that
we will require fo. our own use $780,
100000 bushels hereafter.
1--WE raise now probably $50 1000, 600
bushels O wheat in the United States
with good crop conditions. This will
leave us but 20,000,000 bushels per
annum. So you can see we will need
all our wheat to feed our own people
Within the next five years the wheat
of eastern Washington will be shipped
eastward to feed the people of the
east and central west.
"And in considering these facts II
must be remembered that the number
of live stock slaughtered last year
was 100000 less than the year pre-
vious. When farmers of Iowa, Min
