Two farmers were not long since
discussing their local paper. One
thought it had too many advertise
ments in it. The other replied: "In
my opinion the advertisements are
far from being the least valuable
part of it. I look them over care
fully and save at least five times the
cost of the paper each week through
the business advantages get from
them Said the other: II believe
you are right know that they pay

good taste to find fault with the ad-
vertisements after am Those men
have the right idea of the matter. It
pays any man with a family to take
good local paper for the sake of the
advertisements if nothing more.
And if business men fail to give
farmers chance to read advertise
ments in the local paper, they are
blind to their own interests; to say
the least of it. "You never trade

Board of Inquiry Reports that Battle
ship Maine Was Blown Up
BY q Mine.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 8.-The
United States battleship Maine,
which sank beneath the waters of
Havana harbor in February, 1898,
as the result of an explosion, was
blown up from the outside. This
was announced toda Y by the naval
board which has been examining the
wreck. The finding confirms the re-
port of the original investigators who
made a superficial examination of
the wreck shortly after the disaster.
Short Statement.
The statement given out by the
navy department is brief. Secretary
Meyer does not believe it necessary
to issue any extended explanation of
the boards conclusion, beyond the
fiat statement that an exterior ex-
plosion was responsible for the loss
of the warship and the lives of many
men. The statement follows:
1.-The injuries to the bottom of the
Maine were caused by the explosion
of a charge of low form of explosive
exterior to the ship between frames
twenty-eight and thirty-one, strake
B port side. This resulted in ig-
hitting and exploding the contents of
the six-inch reserve magazine, Al A.
NJ, said contents including a large
quantity of black powder. The more
or less complete explosion of the con-
tents of the remaining forward mag
azine followed. The magazines ex-
plosion resulted in the destruction of
the vessel"
Secretary Meyer announced that
there might be further statement
on the report of the board after it
had been considered by the president.
One member of the board was of the
opinion that the report never would
be published in full, but would be
kept confidential by the navy de-
partment. The declaration that "a
low form of explosive" was used in
the outside explosion indicates that
a mine and not dirigible torpedo
was the instrument of destruction.
Mystery Deepens.
This only deepens the mystery of
the destruction of the Maine. A
mine charge with sufficient powder
to blow in the bottom of the ship
must have weighed several hundred
pounds. To plant such mine and
lay the electric connections neces-
sary for it's discharge would have re-
quired the services of number of
men

ACTUAL STARVATION.
Facts About Indigestion and Its Re-
lief That Should Interest
You.

Although Indigestion and Dispep-
STA are so prevalent, most people do
not thoroughly understand their
cause and cure There is no reason
why most people should not eat any
thing they desire-if they only chew
it carefully and thoroughly. Many
actually starve themselves into sick
ness through fear of eating every
|good-looking good-smelling, and
gQod-tasting food, because it does
not agree with them.
The best thing to do is to fit your
self to digest any good food.
We believe we can relieve Dispep-
STA. We are so confident of this
fact that we guarantee and promise
to supply the medicine free of all
cost to every one who will use it,
who is not perfectly satisfied with the
results which it produces. We exact
no promises, and put no one under
any obligations whatever. Surely,
nothing could be fairer. We are To-
Gated right here and our reputation
should be sufficient assurance of the
genuineness of our offer.
We want every one troubled with
Indigestion or Dyspepsia in any form
to come to our store and buy box of
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Take
them home and give them reasona-
BILE trial, according to directions.
Then, if not satisfied, come to us and
get your money back. They are very
pleasant to take; they aid to soothe
the irritated stomach, to strengthen
and invigorate the digestive organs,
and to promote healthy and natur-
al bowel action, thus leading to per-
feet and healthy digestion and as
similation.
A Csc package of Rexall Dyspep-
STA Tablets furnishes Is days treat
ment. In ordinary cases, this is suf-
ficient to produce a cure. In more
chronic cases, a longer treatment, of
course, is necessary, and depends up
on the severity of the trouble. For
such cases, We have two larger sizes
which sell for soc and $1.00. Re-
member, you can obtain Rexall Rem
edies in this community only at our
store-The Rexall Store. Bell &

Corn Husking Record Again Smashed

H.
Not so many years ago-in fact,
well within the recollection of the
present generation-a horse that
could go a mile in three minutes,
trotting or pacing, was reported as
a wonder and it's value was we'll
nigh priceless. But "the world do
move," as the niger quartets are
won't to sing; that time has been re-
duced by almost a half and today the
captain of the mounted police squad
in any Of our cities would disdain to
be caught astride three-minute
horse.
And SO it is with all else. A few
years ago the man who could husk a
hundred bushels of corn in a TO-
hour day was looked upon as worth
his weight in gold and could use his
own choice as to what farmers table
he should stick his feet under. But
the boys began to throw the golden
ears faster and faster until that old
standard was increased by half as
moch more. Even at that time,
though, the chap who talked of husk-
ing 200 bushels in day was looked
upon with suspicion and gentle hints
were let drop as to what was the
best to do with him.
Then it was that Fremont coun-
ty boy actually did that thing. Ora
Hopkins of Prairie township husked
217 bushels and 20 pounds in the
given length of time, and this record
stood before the world for seven
years. The more timorous ones con-
sidered him invincible. But two
young Fremonters-Bert Van Hou-
ten and Earl Needley-decided that
it could be beat. Van Houten led off
but fell shy about seven bushels;
Medley came to bat and passed the
old record with 219-40; Van Houten
came back with 230-30; Medley went
him one better with 231-50.
And now comes the climax. Van
Houten had all along contended that
he could husk $50 bushels in day
if forced to do so in order to keep
the championship belt in this county
Huskers elsewhere forced matters.
Claude Wilson of Henderson made
251-20 in 10 hours, and J. E. Lyons
of Wall Lake bobbed up with a rec
ord of 254-4S in 20 minutes more
than a day.
Bert couldn't stand for it. He
had made the declaration that he
could beat 'em and he did. Wednes-
day of the present week he went into
the battle for all he was worth, and
in just 10 hours to the dot sent over
the scales 254 bushels and SO
pounds. The work was done on the
Glen Bunker farm southwest of town
in corn running not over 40 bushels
to the acre. His every move was
watched, and the corn weighed by
competent, trustworthy men, so that
no doubt exists as to the actual per-
Torrance of the remarkable feat.
And thus Van Houten stands to-
day the champion cornhusker of the
world. But there's no telling what
the boys can do-if only the corn
holds out.-Sidney Herald.

 Suffered.

Jonesboro, Ark-"I suffered a com plete break down in health, some time ago." writes Mrs. A. McGill, from this place. q was very weak and could not do any work. I tried different remedies, but they did me no good.
 One day, got bottle of Cardui. It did me so much good, was surprised, and took some more.
 Before took Cardui, I had headache and backache, and sometimes would cry for hours. Now am over all that, and can do all kinds of homework think 1t is the greatest medicine on earth"
 In the past fifty years, thousands of ladies have written, like Mrs. McGill to tell of the benefit received from Cardui.
 Such testimony, from earnest women. surely indicates the great value of this tonic remedy, for diseases peculiar to women. Are you a sufferer? Yes?
