/ look backward DER the eastern hills
These aged eyes seem i'm haze
AS recall the flower-banked rills,
The loved resort of childhood's days.
The monarch oaks entwined their
boughs
Above the streamlet's winding path,
While we recorded childhood's VOWS,
To reap through life rich aftermath.
Oh! Heart of youth, filled with sweet
dreams,
An ecstacy with hidden meaning,
That vanished as the suns warm beams
Absorbs the dew on flowers we're
cleaning.
Youths loved resort, how different now
The modern pleasure seekers band;

Worse far than death for darling girls:
For gold, vile passion woman's virtue

Without consent of those i'm youthful

Years have brought experiences apace
To force aside the trust of youth;
To cast us i'm life's varied race
OF tangled threads and doubts for

'Tis best for us when aflliction's bane
Has quelled the rebellion of our hearts,
Has taught earth's cross is heavenly

Though sorrow sends her piercing

AS added years bring wrinkled face,
Life's vast allurements fade away;
We slowly drop the despised race,
AS pales the charm of pleasures day.
We learn the holier, happier joy
OF ties formed in these many years,
Pure friendships charm without alloy
And loved ones stay our falling tears.
We learn our Fathers hand is best,

That only labors bring sweet rest,
And naught but trust can please our

WHY SALVES FAIL
TO CURE ECZEMA
They Clog the Pores-Only a Liquid
Can Reach the Inner Skin.

Since the old-fashioned theory Of
curing eczema through the blood
has been given UP by scientists,
many different salves have been
tried for skin diseases. But it has
been found that these salves only
clog the pores and can not penetrate
TO the inner skin below the epider-
mis- where the eczema germs are
lodged.
This-the quality Of penetrating
probably explains the tremendous
success of the only standard liquid
eczema cure, oil Of wintergreen as
compounded in D. D. D. Prescrip-
ton. After ten years of cure after
cure, the worlds leading skin spe-
cialists have accepted this as the
true eczema cure.
We ourselves do not hesitate to
recommend D. d. d. Prescription at
$1.00 a bottle, but for the benefit of
those who have never tried the pre-
scription, we have arranged with the
d. ID. d. Laboratories of Chicago
for a special large trial bottle at 25
cents on special offer now. This
first bottle ought to convince every
sufferer, and, at any rate, it will
surely take away the itch at once.

JOHN j. GREEN FOR CLERK

One of the first things that Alr,
Green did when elected was to study
the law pertaining to the duties OF
county clerks. He found one that
read, that any person killing English
Sparrows, and presenting their order
20 the county clerk, should receive a
bounty of two cents per head during
the months OF November, December,
January, February and March. While
other county clerks had been honor
ing such orders the year around, he
refused to do so. believing 1t a wise
provision to name the above months,
for hardly a bird of that type is in
Michigan those months but the spar
row; while just as soon as the warm
er months arrived, some OF the spar
row hunters would rob field, song
and other valuable bird nests OF their
young, bringing them in by the hun
dreds, and in such condition that it
was impossible to tell what they
were, the orders jumping from SO or
SO, to SIS or 500. This not only
protected the taxpayer, but saved the
destruction of valuable birds.
Time and space will hardly permit
to explain all of the things that he did
that make such men of value to have
in Office
The records of the Office were writ
ten promptly, so that each day anyone
wishing to inspect any record, found
them completed. The day following
the adjournment of a session of the
Board of Supervisors, found the rec
ord of their proceedings in the hands
of the printer, and the people were
able to get them while they were
fresh, not months afterwards, when
all was forgotten. He believes that all
offices belong to the people at all
times, regardless OF who Is elected to
fill them. Regardless of party, he is
entitled to another term. What the
county needs is good, honest, COM
petent officials. They do not need TO
experiment. Mr.. Green has been tried
and found o. X. BY honoring him.
you are honoring yourself, by secur-
ing an able official; one who will
guard your interests as closely as his
own. When you visit the office, you
will feel at home, for he njoys meet

Win FIVE POINTS in
FISHERIES DISPUTE

The Hague, Sept. S.-The century
old fisheries dispute, the source of
constant diplomatic friction between
the governments of the United States,
Great Britain, Canada and Newfound-
land was closed yesterday with the
award of the international court of
arbitration. The award was largely
in favor of the United States.
The American government is sus-
tained on points 2, 8, A. 6 and Z, out of
the total of the seven points in which
the issue was framed. Great Britain
wins on questions l and 5.
While the United States triumphs
on five of the seven poihts, point 5,
decided in favor of Great Britain, has
been held by Englishmen as the most
important of those submitted.
The fifth point was stated in the
form of this question: From where
must be measured the three marine
miles of any of the coasts, bays, creeks
or harbors referred to in Article l Of
the American-British treaty of 1882"
United States fishermen claimed the
right to take the measure from any
part of the British North American
shore and therefore the liberty to fish
in the middle of the Canadian bay or
estaurary having radius of more
than three miles.
The British contention was that the
limit should be measured from an
jr.ary line connecting the head

CINCINNATI CROWDED
With SOUTHERNERS
Thousands Of People Living South
OF Mason and Dixon's Line Attend
The Big Celebration at President
Taft's Home.
(By Associated PreSS.)

Cincinnati, Ohio, Sept. S.-Governor
J. Y. Sanders, of Louisiana; Mayor
Martin Behrman, of New Orleans;
Congressman Thomas Sisson and Gov
ernor Noel, of Mississippi, and Cover
nor Culberson of Texas, reached Gin
cinnati today at noon, to attend the
Dixie Day celebration at the Ohio
Valley Exposition.
These men were expected to come
to Cincinnati yesterday evening, but
found after leaving their homes that
the train connection upon which they
had planned could not be made, so
they have been delayed almost an en-
tire day in coming.
The Dixie Day celebration will be
the greatest day in the history of the
exposition, bringing many thousands
of people from below Mason and Dix
on's line to the exposition grounds.
The officials of the exposition said
last night that they did not expect as
large a crowd of people on Friday,
which is Roosevelt day, nor on the
presidents day, upon which President
Taft will come to the exposition. later
in the month, as will be here in cele'
bration of the Southern day. Already
hotels are full of people in anticipa
ton of the presence of several gov
ernors and many congressman, and
the people of Cincinnati say that
their homes are almost full of South
ern people here to attend the exposi
tion.
