c. p. A. Resolutions.

At a meeting of Plainview Lodge,
No. 50, c. P. A., of Butler, held at
the court house the following resolu-
tions were unanimously adopted.
Whereas, BY means of the initiative
it is proposed to enact as part of our
organic law provision exempting all
personal property from taxation, rails
ing taxes for all purposes upon land
values alone.
Whereas, We regard such proposed
constitutional provisions as unequita-
BILE, unjust and revolutionary placing
the burden on the farming lands Of
the state which the farmers would be
unable to bear. We appeal to every
member of the Central Protective AS
ISOLATION in the state to assist us in
the fight against measure that is
destructive to every legitimate inter-
est in the state and in the interests Of
modern Shylocks and money mon
gers. That copy Of these resolu-
@ions be sent to all the leading news
papers of the state asking them to as
sist us in defeating these amend
ments. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we remember our
friends in this movement by giving
them our patronage and support NOR
ally and financially. And we declare
that we will not supportany candidate
in the state of Missouri or patronize any
newspaper, merchant or business
man who advocates or supports these
proposed amendments.
Resolved, That we commend the
vigorous stand of J. E. Dowell &: Son,
editors of the Adrian Journal, for
their vigorous stand against the pro-
posed amendment.
Resolved that we endorse the ef-
forts of Hon. George Falcon and E.
B. Silvers in their fight against the
adoption of these amendments and
pledge them our support.
Resolved, That we appreciate the
assistance renderd us by the state and
county press and pledge them our
support in assisting US to crush
this hydra headed monster which
would ultimately destroy our homes.

The Retina of the Eye the Danger
Signal of Kidney Disease.

BY our expert diagnosis of the retina
of the eye we can detect any derange-
ment of the retina which always man.
ifests itself in diseases of the kidneys,
this diagnosis requires expert ability
and unlimited practice and as they
have followed this line of practice for
the past sixteen years places them in
a position to make diagnosis to an
exact degree.
The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1912-05-02

The diseases and defects of the eye,
ear, nose and throat has been the life
study of these eminent specialists,
each one specializing on one line OF
trouble, placing them in a position to
make absolutely correct diagnosis
and examinations, after which they
are in position to state positively
whether cure is possible or not.
We absolutely do not have a free
treatment scheme. We furnish our
treatment under a Boni fide Square
Contract, and as we positively make
no charge for examination, you are
under no obligation to us and we do
not expect you to take our treatment
unless you are satisfied that we un-
derstand your case thoroughly.
No remedy introduced in recent
years for the cure Of graduated lids,
ulcers, scums, wild hairs, pterygium
and all eye diseases has met with so
universally good results as has their
Absorption Remedies
The cures in many cases, even af-
ter failure by surgical operations,
have been most marvellous. Nearly
everyone has a dread for the knife,
and especially is this the case when
so delicate structure as the eye is
involved.
It is the most remarkable when it
is considered that all barbarous meth
DDS are eliminated.

IT is up to each town or com
munity to enforce the laws of the
town and state, and so maintain
peace and good order generally. 1t
is your duty personally to see that
no brutal and indecent individual
offend the eye or senses of any citi
zen, and this duty can only be car
RED into effect by having the indi-
vidual who so offends, arrested and
properly punished for each offence.
In Milford we have the usual num-
Der Of the class of men and women
who annoy others by their indecent
actions and by their general mis-
conduct, and we also have ample
laws TO correct all this trouble if
the individual citizen will only
cause it to be applied effectively.
The spectacle of a maudlin man
committing indecent exposure on
one Of the most public business cor
ners Of Milford last Sunday even
ing, and then swearing and using
obscene language was punished by
the energetic enforcement Of the
laws, by those who witnessed the
offence. When this commendable
act becomes general with the peo-
pie in all parts of the town, Milford
will be purged of those who now
believe that they can do as they
please, because each political party
will be 10th to lose their vote; but
this class of white men are a dis
grace to any party as one of its in
tegral parts, and we had rather see
the laws upheld than that such in
dividuals be permitted to disgrace
the town or community. Enforce
the laws.

It is the purpose of the Board of
Trade to make the $500 contribu-
ton to the premium fund by obtain
ing individual subscriptions from
merchants and other business men
in Wilmington. II is felt that the
holding ofthe convention there will
serve to stimulate business and es-
tablish more cordial and intimate
relations between the business men
here and the fruit growers of the
Peninsula. No doubt that will be
realized.
| Another important thing that will
be accomplished by the hearty CO.
operation of the Horticultural So
ciety and the Board of Trade will
be that the Peninsula fruits will be
advertised extensively. There never
was any valid reason why Western
fruit should obtain in the Eastern
markets the foothold it now has.
Widespread advertising and care in
packing were what accomplished it,
There is no fruit that is grown on
the Peninsula that is not equal or
superior in flavor to that grown in
the West and Northwest. The trou-
BILE is that while the Western and
the Northwestern growers have been
exercising great care in grading,
packing and marketing their fruit
and advertising it intelligently in
all the big markets, until recently
the Peninsula growers contented
with going along in the
old slipshod way. The result was
that they lost the Eastern market
and the Westerners seized it. so far
as high-priced stock was affected. i
