well known in Lincoln and who is one
of the original Wilson men of Ken
lucky, is being urged by many of his
friends to make the race for the state
senate from this district next year.
Mr.. Mount is brother-in-law of Mr..
H. ]. McRoberts, of this city, and
would have strong support in Lincoln.
The Danville Messenger Tuesday said:
j. R. Mount of Lancaster has always
been staunch supporter of Gov. Beck

talked for him not only in Garrard but
all over the state. A number of Mr..
Mounts friends are anxious for him to

He is no respector of persons, rich or

their face in Danville. The following
complimentary and finpant articles
show just what Lancaster people Lewis

ENTHUSIASTIC AUTOISr.
One of the most enthusiastic automo-
bilist in Central Kentucky IS Mr.. John
E. Stormes. of Lancaster. Mr.. Stormes
is kept busy in his large drug store. but
never misses an opportunity to steal
away with his machine on pretty day.
He owns large. fve-passenger Chal-
mers, also a pretty little Hupmobile,
and we believe gets more genuine pleas
ure from a machine than any owner we
know. He frequently includes Dan
vile in his runs and receives hear
ty welcome by his many friends in this
city.
REMARKABLE OLD DARKIE.

Uncle Bris like many another poor fel-
low became q slave to liquor. In fact
he had touched it up heavily all his
life, until about seven years ago. Be-
ing on big thigh lonesome, he went
home and told his wife :he would quit
then. and there. Notwithstanding the
awful thirst of which only
those who have experienced the tor

EVIL Eye" Based on Fact.

Most people have heard of the Evil
Eye, and now We are informed by
Charles l.. Smith, a noted New York
reiractionist, that the superstition
arose because everyone. without know
Ing it, has one eye that is different in
power and activity from the other. He
designates it the dominant eye" and
according to whether it is the left
or the right children will grow up left
handed or rght-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-.
cry, TO force child to become am
bidextrous. Such course may result
in wrecking the nervous system. and
can only be cured by reversal Of the
process so that the dominant eye
may regain natural and undsputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the evil eye"

BABY'S HAIR ALL CAME OUT

when my first baby was six months
old he broke out on his head with little
bumps. They would dry up and leave
a scale. Then it would break out
again and it spread all over his head.
All the hair came out and his head
was scaly all over. Then his face
broke out all over in red bumps and
1t kept spreading until it was on his
hands and ar5>s. l bought several
boxes of ointment. gave him blood
medicine, and had two doctors to treat
him, but he got worse all the time.
He had 1t about six months when
friend told me about Cuticura. l sent
and got bottle of Cuticura Resolvent,
a cake of Cuticura Soap and box of
Cuticura Ointment. In three days
after using them he began to i'm
prove. He began to take long maps
and to stop scratching his head. After
taking two bottles OF Resolvent, two
boxes of Ointment and three cakes OF
Soap he was sound and well. and never
had any breaking out of any kind. His
hair came out In little curls all over
his head. l don't think anything else
would have cured him except Cuti-
cura.
81 have bought Cuticura Ointment
and Cuticura Soap several times since

Use OF Western Feeds
OREGON Sborr Lin. Demonlrrario, Train rc,

it has been, 6 to cents, you see that
very good returns are secured. Do
not let the young pigs stop growing,
IS the stunning for a little while of
the young animals is going to make
the cost of future gains very much
greater.
The advantages to be gained then
for the western farmer from the feed
ing of practically all of his crops
upon his own land are many. AS
rule, advanced prices are secured over
what the market men will give, and
this, too, right at your own door, for
the hauling of grain and hay to the
railroad is a big proposition as COM
pared with the marketing of live
stock. Another thing not thought of
by the western farmer is that some
day his lands are going to run out to
a certain extent if some kind of hus-
bandry is not practiced. If, however
nearly everything produced is fed on
the farm, and the fertility in this
way practically all returned to the
soil, the farms can be just as good
when handed down to the children as
they are now. There is more fertility
sold from the farms many times in
hay and grain than the price of the
crop would bring back. Watch this
carefully and see to il that products
are marketed from your farm in a
concentrated form, leaving the fer
tiity to help you grow new crops.
Another advantage of the livestock
business is that ii equaliZes the work
to great extent on the average
farm. For, in the winter, when the
crops do not worry one, we have the
livestock to take care of, and in the
summer when the work of the crops
is rushing, the livestock takes but lit
tie attention. AS rule, the man who
! is busy is the man who is making
money, and if he can furnish labor all
the year around will be able to reap
a larger profit from the investment
