the best physicians around here and
they stated that l had Bright's dis
ease, and could not possibly live
more than a few weeks. Dropsy also
set in and my limbs became badly
swollen. Everybody thought 1 was
beyond the power of medicine when
I began the use of Doan's Kidney
Pills. This remedy brought about a
change for the better from the first
and gradually my health improved

house. The dropsical swelling in my
limbs subsidized and l felt like a diff

MITCHELL TO SEE
GREAT POLITICAL
RALLY OCT. FIST
Govesnor Vessey and
Two Congressman
Will Make Speeches
UNIQUE MEETING
Will be First Time the Three
Candidates Have Appear
ed Together.
MEETING

1t was announced by w. w. Da-
Wis of Mt. Vernon, chairman of the
republican county central committee,
that the biggest republican rally MIC
chell has seen in any state campaign
In a decade will be held in this city
on Friday evening, oct. 21st.
The meeting will be attended and
addressed by Governor r. s.. Vessey,
Congressman Eben w. Martin and
Congressman Charles H. Burke. This
will be the first time since Governor
Wesley was elected to his office that
these three men have appeared to-
gether on the same platform. q
Each of the three men probably
will speak about a helf hour. The
rally will be held in the city hall and,
while details have not yet been ar
ranged, it is expected there will be
band music. The presiding officer of
the evening has not yet been nou
ed.
There have been some notable 20
litical meetings in Mitchell in the
last half dozen years, but all of
them have been connected either with
The state primary or the presidential
campaign. 1t was thought that an
old-time rally to remind the repub-
lican voters of the purposes OF the
general campaign would be welcom-
ed by the people of Mitchell and the
surrounding territory.

st. Paul, Apl. 25-At least half and
probably two-thirds of the entire fruit
crop of Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa and
northern illinois was destroyed by the
cold snap and blizzard, of April 10th
and 18th, according to Professor F. b.
Clements of the botanical depa rtment
of the Minnesota university, and the
value of the same is placed at $1,000,
900 or mole.
Greater losses we're occasioned in
southern Minnesota, South Dakota
and Wisconsin than in northern Min
nesota and North Dakota. All of the
apples, cherries, plums, gooseberries
and currants, it is believed, have been
destroyed. Peaches, pears and other
fruit in Illinois and Missouri, have
also suffered greatly.

was held in the matter regarding en-
dorsement of candidates for political
offices. The Grange, as an organization
as is we'll known, cannot enter politics.
1t is a serious question with Oranges
therefore to determine how they
will be able to obtain necessary legls-
lation unless they can pledge candl-
dates and parties to work for their in
terests. At the meeting, reports from
the score of the county oranges,
showed growth and prosperity, with
one or two exceptions. White River
Grange, in the White river valley, the
first one organized in King county,
reported that they had raised about
$500 to build a hall. The meeting
was most successful one, but was
cast in gloom by the sudden death of
the mother of Master Walter Mess a
beloved pioneer woman, who died the
day before the meeting was held. 1t
was voted to hold the next meeting at
Enumclaw, where Enumclaw and
Osceola oranges will unite in enter

This is the season of the year when
the desire to get back to the soil is al
most irresistible. Those of us who
we're raised on farm, never get over
the longing to again smell the ''green
things growing" At this season
when buds are blooming, when the
lush grass is making green the fields,
when the sprouting seeds fo1tells
abundant harvest, when all nature is
abloom with resurrected life, it creates
a longing to shake off the tram
mels of city life and breathe the fresh
air of the country. We know full
we'll, however that this springtime
means for the farmer, incl eased work
and long hours OF toll. Nature will
not wait. The seeds must be planted
at the proper time. Weeds spring up
in a night which must be destroyed,
or the vitality Of the crops will be re-
duced. But the wise farmer has all
of these things planned ahead, and the
days work though hard, is made
sweeter by the promise of golden
grain. Those people of the cities who
are struggling with high prices for
the necessities of life, and furnished
by the farmer, cannot enjoy the
springtime like the man who tills the
soil.

The remarkable cold snap during
the past week which swept over the
central states, caused an enormous
loss of fruit and vegetables. From
the 10Th to the Oath, snow storms and
freezing weather prevailed throughout
the states of Minnesota, Wisconsin,
Michigan, Iowa, Nebraska, Illinois
and as far south as Texas. The loss
is estimated at at least thirty millions
of dollars. This is a serious loss to
the farmer of the country. But there
is lesson in it for our Pacific Coast
fruit growers. The loss of the fruit
there will cause a scarcity and will
make western fruit of great value.
Every man who has fruit should take
the best possible care Of it for it will
surely be worth good money.
