A SAILING VESSELS EARNINGS.

The auxiliary bark R. C. Rickmers,
now loading coal at Newcastle, Australia,
is the first five-mast bark that has been
seer in that port for more than twenty
years, when La France, British built
craft, visited that port. The Rickmers
was built in 1906, and during the first
942 days that she was in commission she
covered 10O,310 miles, under sail or
steam, in 608 days, making ten passages,
as follows: Bremen to New York, New
York to Saigon, Saigon to Bangkok,
Bangkok to Bremen, Hamburg to San
Pedro, San Pedro to Sydney, Sydney to
San Francisco, San Francisco to Tacoma,
Tacoma to Antwerp, Antwerp to San
Francisco.
This is a record of 165 miles day on
the average. The remaining 1874 days
she was in port, loading, docking, or dis
charging cargo. Her earnings during
this period amounted to $235, 900, or an
average of $3.50 per day for each one of
the 942 days. Altogether she carried on
these voyages $4,000 tons of cargo. This
vessel is equipped with an auxiliary en-
CINE to enable her to make quicker pass
ages, but present low freights have
somewhat neutralized the advantages of
her auxiliary power. The lesson Of the
Rickmers, however, is that large sailing
vessels are still profitable, or at least
that the Germans know how to make
them so.--The Marine Journal.

MUSCULAR
RHEUMATISM
This Michigan Woman Suf-
fered for Two Years.
Now She Is Strong and Healthy and
Owes Her Recovery Entirely to
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

Years ago when medical science was
less advanced rheumatic sufferers were
given something to rub OF the tender
Joints and muscles. Some people who
do not know any better still stick to
the old fashioned way, but it does not
cure their rheumatism and never will.
When the rheumatic poison is driven
from the blood the rheumatism is cured.
The thing is to get the right medicine
to drive the poison out. DR.. Williams
Pink Pills have cured more cases of
rheumatism than OF any other disease
except ansemia. They do this because
they enrich the blood supply, thus ton
ing up the system to point where the
rheumatic poison is expelled through
the natural channels and the trouble
disappears.
Mrs. May Buchanan, whose address is
r. F. D. No. 10, Sparta, Mich, gives
q brief account of her cure, as follows:
81 suffered for the gres.er part of
two years from muscular rheumatism,
which was fastened in my case by ex-
posure to cold and overwork. had
no appetite, was weak and nervous,
couldn't do my work and for several
weeks was confined to bed. The pains
were dull and aching AMI were very in
tense in my hips.
81 was under the doctors care for a
long time but his medicine did not
help me. l read about DR.. Williams
Pink Pills in book and gave them a
trial The first few boxes relieved me
and in few weeks l was cured. l
have good appetite and am strong
and healthy"
DIR. Williams Pink Pills have also
cured anamia, chlorosis, general de-
bility, after-effects OF the grip and fevers
and should be given trial wherever a
tonic for the blood and nerves is needed.
DIR. Williams Pink Pills are always
the same and are sold only in packages
bearing the weQ-known trademark.
A copy of our new booklet, Diseases
of the Blood" containing full informa-
ton about this treatment will be sent
free upon request. 1t should be read
by every sufferer from impoverished
blood.
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are sold by
all druggists, or sent by mail, postpaid,
on receipt of price, so cents per box;
nix boxes for 81. SO, by the DR.. Williams

THE MACDALEN ISLANDS?
They are Rarely Visited, Says Canadian
Writer.

Writer.
Out in the center of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence, where the ocean waves dash
over them for five months of the year
so fiercely as to close all communication
with the mainland except by cable, lie
the Magdalen Islands. Nine out of every
ten Canadians have never even heard of
them, and the other one remembers dim
ly that he encountered the name at
school in the list of Canadian islands.
Nine out of ten of the islanders them
selves have never been farther from
their birthplace than the trips to the
fishing grounds, and the tenth has gone
no farther than Pictou, or on a long-to-be-
remembered trip as Tar as Halifax or
Quebec.
Seventy miles to the southwest lies
Prince Edward Island; Cape Breton is
the same distance southeast. New
foundland's rough coast faces them one
hundred miles east. From away to the
north the wild waves crash down I'M
opposed from the forbidding shores of
Labrador, three hundred miles distant.
During but fives months of the year,
and then only twice week, is there any
outside world. For the remainder the
known only to this region, and the hun
dred miles or more of coast-line shows
the wrecks that have marked with fail
bat the elements.
In the midst of all this fierceness of
nature live seven thousand French Aca-
dians and one thousand English, in a
quaintness and quietness of life that is
truly remarkable. And year by year
the population increases until even now
the land is overcrowded with people
reluctant to obey the demands of Ma
ture and get out into the wider world.
There are thirteen islands in all, nine
OF which are connected at low tide by a
treacherous beach, which it is possible
to drive over with the guidance of one
who knows the quicksands and tides.
Fifty-three miles from north to south
makes an island of respectable size.
Then, farther north, lies Byron Island, a
summer fishing station leased and peo-
pied by merchant on the main islands,
but almost deserted in winter. Ten
miles still farther is the famous Bird
Rock, we'll known by reputation to
natura)ists, watched over only by mil
lions of birds and the lighthouse-keeper
and his wife, with two assistants. On
| this six acres of rock, perched one hun
dred and twenty-five feet above the
water, approached only in the calmest
weather and mounted by bucket work.
ed with windlass above-on this isolat-
ed island these four people live from be-
ginning to end of the year, seeing nc
other human beings save the crew of
the supply boat on its two visits year.

Miss Florence Mae Gregor en-
tertained number of friends at a
four o'clock dinner, June 3, at the
home of her brother-in-law, Mr..
H. Hobble, on South Grant Ave-,
at which time she announced her
engagement to Walter Ford. The
wedding date is set for June IA.
An elegant four-course dinner
was served. The center-piece was
a miniature bride with her train
of attendants walking down a
Path of red and white roses to a
rose decked altar. Place cards
were photos of Che bride elects old
sweethearts on which were written
suitable quotations. The color
scheme was further carried out by
streamers from each place card to
a bucket suspended above the
table. To these were attached
small folders containing a photo of
the contracting parties and the
wedding date. Upon being re-
moved a shower of rice fell upon
the little bride.
A guessing contest, musical
romance caused much merriment.

We Lose Again.

There was a time, not very long
ago, when there seemed to be a
good prospect for Liberal to secure
the Friends Acadamy now located
at Fowler. There we're a few men
here who found out about the
chance just after it had passed.
Last week the citizens of Fowler
and surrounding country got out
with petition and raised suffi-
Gent funds to keep the school
there another year.
1.-THE same old stumbling
block-if we had some sort of an
organization which would keep an
eye out for such opportunities we
believe that the directors of the
acadamy could have been induced
to open the institution here. 1t is
really CALLING to have a live little
burg like Fowler put it over us
that way. It's about time for us
to get busy here in Liberal and do
something.

Surprise Party :

One beautiful spring-time day
In the merry month of May,
When the flowers we're sweet with
honey
And the meadows were bright and
sunny.
The happy birds were singing,
The meadows were sweetly ringing
Through the soft sprlng-time breeze
AS they sat among the trees.
The old and the young were feeling
gay
Oyer what was heard that beautiful
day.
"a surprise party on Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark
They all intended to be present at
dark.
The sun was setting In the golden
west
Setting to give them good nights
rest.
But resting, however, they would
not take
Because they preferred the Ice cream
and cake.
A huge black cloud was hanging
low,
Just as the merry-makers we're about
to 90, Z
The lightning flashed, the thunder
roared.
To miss the party they couldn't af-
ford.
They arrived at the beautiful sub
urban home,
They previously had numerous curls
to comb.
Mr.. and Mrs. Clark we're overjOyed
with glee;
Erma was the leader they could.
plainly see.
We we're gladly welcomed and In
vited in
AS they thought, "Tis'nt long till
the fun will begin"
The musicians were playing glad
some tune
AS they we're escorted into the coy
room.
They started the games with laugh
ter and cheer,
They came from their homes far
and near,
The supper they served was up-to-
date
Various rellshes With Ice cream and
cake.
When preparing for home, to their
surprise,
The rain was falling from thedark-
ened skies,
Some fell asleep, some remained
awake,
They did not 90 home until day
break.
The surprise party, however, was a
grand success;
Erma, the leader, entertained each
guest,
Mr.. and Mrs Clark entertained
them, too,
Until the flowers were bright with
morning dew.

Suggestions by a Dry Farmer

you live where the wind blows
plant a strip of sorghum around
the garden. 1t will make feed for
the hogs and protect the garden
from the sand storms. The second
crop of cane is just the thing to
give the cows each evening, a hand
full each, so they will come up
when you are too busy to go after
them. If you want maize with out
a crook neck, save the best sucker
heads for seed. | have followed
this plan for five years and have
fine dwarf maize with few crooks.

Canadian immigration

From April, 1910, to February,
1911, the number of immigrants
arriving in Canada from all quart
ers of the globe was 275,00O, ac-
cording to a recent report of the
Minister of the Interior at Ottawa.
Of this number 100000 we're
British subjects; $4,000 were from
the Continent and 100000 we're
from the United States. The Amer
leans return from Canada every
year, convinced that there are bet
ter opportunities in the United
States than are to be found north
of the border line.

Tennessee Conditions.

I'VE are informed by reliable
brokers in Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois that the better grades of
broomcorn running well to hurl
and covers are getting more or less
scarce. As matter of course,
the prices and the scarcity of
broomcorn last season caused a
great many of the farmers TO plant
out broomcorn who knew nothing
whatever of its culture or cure
And too, it made so many country
merchants that had some spare
capital believe that they could get
rich on broomcorn quick. These
inexperienced farmers and unex-
perienced broomcorn dealers are
holding the common stock at from
$50 to 800 per ton, and it is not
worth the money. 1t is nothing
more than short, splky, red stock,
and the color as near as we could
describe it is about like new sides
of leather in a tan yard.
THE acreage planted in Ten
nessee this year we think will be
very small. We doubt if there
will be as much as hundred tons
raised in the state this year, but
as we are informed we think the
acreage in Kansas. Missouri and
Oklahoma will come fairly we'll up
to the average planting.
I'VE think that good, green,
smooth corn running a much to
self working and hurl and covers
in grade will bring 500 or better
until there is another crop pro-
duced. We also think that some
of the poor stock on hand now
will be carried for some time yet
and will bring no more than $50
to $50 per ton. Nashville Ban
