Arbitration Sunday April 2.

The federal council of the churches
of Christ in America in New York
have addressed a message to the
large number of churches of vari-
Gus denominations in this organiza-
ton, asking them to observe Sunday,
April 2, as arbitration Sunday.
This action is in harmony with SIM
liar action taken by the national coun-
Gil of churches in England, the pur-
pose being to secure united action in
the churches on both sides of the
Atlantic in behalf of the proposed gen
eral arbitration treaty between the
United States, Great Britain and other
nations.

We have heard with much pleas

it you contemplate going before the
Canadian or rather Provincial
government to ask for work to be
done in this province. The ranch
ers here want the same thing dcne
and believe that if the two com.
munities could cooperate ON the
matter results would be much more
certain. You have about $4,000
acres involved down there and we
have fully as much up here.
| am sending you co y of last
weeks Review in which | discuss
the lowlands question in a news
way, You will see the opinion of
the Creston people in the story.
You will also see that there is much
involved in the matter The power
companies will fight any action
which might tend to lower the level
of Kootenai Lake and the entire
case will have to be approached
most carefully.
We can offer you the support of
the entire Creston Valley and we
will be willing to send delegation
to Victoria with you to further the
reclamation scheme. 1t would be
well however, If we could get to-
gether on the matter and if you can

you stand on the matter, | will

NEEDFUL KNOWLEDGE
Forrest City People Should Learn to Detect the Approach of Kidney
 Disease.

The symptoms of kidney trouble are so unmistakable that they leave no ground for doubt. Sick kidneys ex- crete thick, cloudy, offensive urine. full of sediment, irregular of passage or attended by a sensation of scalding The back aches constantly, headaches and dizzy spells may occur and the victim is often weighed down by a feeling of languor and fatigue. Neg lect these warnings and there is dan ger of dropsy, Bright's disease, or dia betes. Any one of these symptoms is warning enough to begin treating the kidneys at once. Delay often proves fatal
 You can use no better remedy than Doan's Kidney Pills, Heres Forrest City proof:
 Charles R. Izard. editor of the Chronicle. POS N Washington St., Forrest City, Ark, says: T was troubled great deal by kidney com plaint. Some time ago Doans Kidney Pills came to my attention and pro- curing a box at the City Drug Store. I begun their use. The results were highly satisfactory. 1 have no hesita- tion in recommending Doan's Kidney Pills to any person suffering from kid ney complaint.

FREE ADVERTISEMENTS Do NOT
 PAY BILLS.

The Educator has received a number of notices and advertising boosts from q certain institution in the State, all of which We published up to a few weeks ago. But though this same in- stitution spent nice little amount for advertising last year, they did not furnish US cent of their work
 We are glad to help any institution that helps the people, and especially the farmers; but such treatment Is unjust to the paper, as we cannot pay bills with free dope. It strikes us that 1t would be q very foolish thing for the paper to exhibit so much friend ship for an institution that demon strates that it cares nothing for the paper. Do you not think we are right?
 The last notice went into the waste basket where all subsequent ones will go until we hear from it in more substantial way.-Rural Educator.
 What the Educator so feelingly remarks contains more truth than poetry, The ;average country news paper is deluged with free dope" for every imaginable institution and con- eern, with requests that their space be given gratis. And as the Educator also remarks, too often when bill of printing is needed, the work goes to some foreign concern which never does, nor is ever asked to do a cents worth of free advertising for the com munity and never spends a penny with the people who give them their work Think 1t over.
