LIFE NOT WORTH LIVING

is the way Miss Alta Abel Of West
Baden, Ind, summed up her existence
after having sought in vain for health.
She writes: Il was a complete wreck
always tired, worn out and nervous.
/ had to spend about one-third of my
time in bed.
"Vinol, your delicious cod liver and
iron tonic, was recommended, and l
can truly say it has done me more
good than all the medicine l ever took
in my life. That nervous and tired
feeling is all gone I have gained in
health, flesh and strength. until feel
like another person" (We guarantee
this testimonial to be genuine.)
What Vinol did for Miss Abel we
know it will do for every nervous.
Overworked, tired, thin and
discouraged woman in this vicinity.
TRY bottle of Vinol with the un-
derstanding that your money will be
returned If it does not help you.

Teaching There. Real Estate Much
Sought After. Social Events.

Here of late we have failed to notice
any articles from our thriving little
village. AS a result, we are sending a

sent from here.
Real estate seems to be very much in
demand in this town at the present time.
Many want to buy homes and farm prop
erty in this fertile country.
George Messick purchased a fine pair
of mules the past week.
The saw and grist mill of c. E. Rus
sell is now running at full capacity.
This is the last week of school for
this season. We dread to see our
schools close this early in the season,
for this has been a very profitable year
for our children. All of the parents are
thanking the teacher Miss Hand, for
her competent work in the school room.
1t is to be hoped that she will return
here for another year.
P. /. Owens was an Owens visitor
this week.
Mr.. Russell, of Toms Dam, has given
up his position as manager of Willey's
Farm, and is now a hustling newspaper

Shultz.
Mr.. Whimerym, who has been in the
far North in the winter months, has re-
turned here. He declares that he likes
Delaware best, and will stay here and
aid his son in managing his fine farm,
which is acknowledged to be the best
n this community.

BOTTLE CLOTHES SPRINKLER

This sprinkler can be used for so many
purposes that no home can afford to be
without it. If You want to iron your
clothes right after sprinkling you can do
SO, as 1t dampens every part ofthe clothes
without wetting them too much.
Every woman knows that when the clothes are
uniformly damp, it saves considerable time and
labor IN ironing them If the clothes are too wet the
irons cool of too quickly, and if too dry you cannot
IRON the wrinkles out without great deal of addi-
tonal labor and hard pressing.
ms article has real merit and every woman can
appreciate the convenience and labOr-saving fea-
lures OF the sprinkler 1t sells in every home
1t can be used TO advantage for sprinkling small

ton many times in the past week:
DO you believe you can tell the

by the government for that pur-
pose. 1t has also been said that
the government is spending large
sums annually to print and dis
tribute bulletins bearing upon the
farmers work. That is true, but
il has been found that this matter
is not receiving the attention of
the farmers; he takes it as a part
of the political game that is be-
ing played and does not give it
the attention it deserves. This new
plan is of taking the education to
the farmer, inasmuch as you can
not take the farmer to the educa-
ton. / am to be the intervening
agency between the government
at Washington, your state agri-
cultural college, and the farmer

cooperation of at least two, and
more if possible, farmers in each
township, who will set apart one
acre or more and who will agree
to farm that acre just as | direct,
and to plant the crops which j
suggest. Another part OF my work
is to secure rough soil sur
vey of the county, which | will
forward to Washington, and the
department will then decide as to
whether or not an accurate soil
survey is needed. If so, IL will be

SEVEN YEARS THE TERM OF
ARMY ENLISTMENTS NOW

Washington, ID. C.-Seven years,
and not three, as now in force, is
the term for which enlistments in
the United States army will be
made after November 1, accord
ing to the new army regulations.
However, there are conditions
which after the length Of the
term, provided actual war is not
in progress during the time re-
cruits are serving.
eWhile the actual term is seven
years." runs the order issued from
the adjutant generals office, shut
four need be served with the col
ors unless hostilities are immin-
ent or the country is at war. More
over, for those intending to re-en-
list. the seven-year period may
be reduced to four by reenlistiLg
at the end of four years; or, il
the soldier prefers, he may, on
his own written application, serve
all seven years with his organiza-
ton, provided, OF course, that
his conduct and physical condition
are good.
son the contrary, it is possible,
on written application, to have the
period of active service reduced
to three years if the conditions
are such, in the discretion of the
secretary of war, as to justify
such action
Service abroad hereafter will not
count double on the term of en-
listment, but the 20 per cent in
crease in pay continues except in
Panama, Porto Rico and Hawaii.

HAVE STARTED TO HAZE
AGAIN AT UNIVERSITY

Ann Arbor-Because haZing was
revived at the university recent
ly several Of the sophomores are
in danger of being expelled from
college.
About a hundred sophomores
led by some Of the holder and
more venturesome spirits, chased
number of freshmen upon the
campus and were about to force
their victims up trees when bril-
liant light in the presidents office
caused change of plans.
The sophomores then marched
their captives down the street,
stopping opposite the Majestic
theater building. There the 'fresh-
les" wee treated TO an egg and
catsup shampoo and compelled to
climb trees. The clothing of some
of them was badly torn, but no
one was seriously hurt in the
rush.
Last year the lid was placed on
hazing under penalty of expul-
sion from the university and il
is expected the ringleaders will be
punished.

Grand Rapids, Mich.-J. II. Skin
ner, farm demonstrators now at
work in Kent county on orders
from the Department OF Agricul-

invitation from the council and APP
peared before that body recently
and gave. very clear explanation
of the nature of his future work
in Kent County, and what he is
hoping to accomplish for the bene-
fit of the farmers of Kent county
and surrounding territory.
sYou may wonder that farmer
needs any help in his business.
You had a trade extension ex-
cursion out of the city recently"
said Mr.. Skinner, sand this excur-
sion was taken with view to aid
ing the wholesale merchants to
broaden their market and better
their business. The farmer needs
assistance in his business just as
the business man needs it.
'sThe question is this: Is the
land around Grand Rapids and in
Kent county performing its duty
today? Is the land in Michigan or
in the United States performing
it's duty in producing? The fact is
that the farmers of the United
States, of Michigan and of Kent
county are not farming to as great
a profit as they might; they are
simply tickling the soil and the
time is coming, and coming fast,
when instead of broadening our
farms by the addition of more

American Air Death Rate

Twenty-Five per cent OF the
fatal aeroplane accidents are due
to the lack OF ability of the pilots
of the machines, in the opinion OF
Major Roche, of the French Army
Aviation Corps. He classifies the
couses of accidents under seven
general heads. About one-third OF
the accidents, says Popular Me-
chanics, he finds to have been
caused by faulty construction OF
the machines, which the French
critic divides under two heads.
Lack of proper rigidity and solid
ity of construction, he believes
causes collapse of about 20 per-
cent. of the machines that fall, and
Is per cent. break because of rad
ical errors of construction. Aero
batic displays in the air claim 6
per cent. of the victims, he states;
10 to II per cent. lose their lives
through unfavorable conditions
of the atmosphere lack of pres
ence Of mind causes per cent.
and Is per cent are due to i'm
proper education of the pilots,
while no cause is ascribed for the
remaining s per cent. of fatalities.
Using child's toy wagon and
allowing himself to be drawn about
by an alligator, is one of the queer
methods adopted by a German
sportsman to win a wager, says
Popular Mechanics. He claimed in
a conversation with a friend that
there We're no less than 10000
methods locomotion, and in the
dispute that followed he wagered
that he could prove it. The bet
was taken up by the friend and
trip around the world was under
taken to try out all the various
kinds of transportation, and in
cidentally to devise some new
ones. The alligator stunt was car
ried out at the alligator farm at
Los Angeles, Cal.
