new crop comes on, the elevators

reason in the world that the new
wheat should not bring fair price.

merchants and manufacturers, as it

Timely rains and favorable weather

good crops.

strawberries will be shipped out Of

Kidney Troubles May be Sapping Your

Learned This Fact.

Lc1EueU 10I4 2CCs
When a healthy man or woman be-
gins to run down without apparent
cause, becomes weak, languid, de-
pressed, suffers backache, dizzy
spells and urinary disorders, weak
kidneys may be the cause. The slight
est symptom of kidney tronble is too
serious to neglect. Doan's Kidney
Pills have earned their fame by their
effectiveness in strengthening the
kidneys and keeping them well. Here
is Butler testimony to prove their
worth. .....
Mrs. w. H. Hupp, 107 Broadway,
Butler, NO., says: II had severe at
lacks of backache and was also both

which made me weak and tired.

soldiers have been enrolled from the
Civil and Spanish-American wars,
though the average membership of
the home is about 23O. The average
number Of wives present is so. There
are a total of 143 rooms for the use

The counties of Brown, Fall River,
Lawrence, Meade and Pennington
have the largest number in represen-

urged in the report by the head sur

be placed in some separate building
where all such diseases might be
specially cared for and not endanger

y VULGAR ExTRAvAGANCE,

Rep. Finley II. Gray OF Indiana eX-
pressed = wholesome sentiment when
he arose in the house and protested
against the proposition made by Rep
Mann Of Illinois TO take a subscrip-
ton among the members for the pur-
chase of a handsome wedding present
for Miss Jessie Wilson, daughter of
the president.
Rep. Gray took the broad ground
that a message of congratulation from
the members of the house would be
more in accordance with the proprie-
ties than an expensive present. the
money expended for which might
better be given to the poor. lie went
further and denounced the whole sys-
tenn of indiscriminate present giving as
relic of feudalism and servility.
We should entertain the hope that
Rep. Gray has started something on
subject of vital social interest.
the modern wedding has become COM
mercialized. 1t is no longer matter
of sentiment, but of business. People
invited to a wedding now base their
acceptance on an ability to purchase
a present suited TO the wealth and
social position OF the bride
If they cannot afford TO purchase
the present they respond TO the in
vftatiOn with regrets. This is not al
together true, but too much so. In
the sordid desire TO make a showing
in the display of gifts the real and
beautiful sentiment of the occasion
has become submerged. The tendency
of congratulations is more or less
cold fOrmality. The present is the
thing that counts. perhaps not as
much with the bride as those who
give it.
SO we should hope that Rep. Gray
has started a reform in one of the
many extravagances of the time which
have become vulgarities. and that the
sentiment OF genuine good will may
be restored TO it's proper and more
enduring expression.

And didn't care at al IL his feet

For all the other fellows were dressed

And he knew he'd become great aft

The girls didn't powder nor dress so

But good soap and water did them

With a calico dress and a right clean

A good looking girl looks good any

Domestic science was then taught at

Mother as teacher and they had to
go some;
Agriculture was taught in the field
With heavy scythe or hoe to WELD.
Theory is good as far as 1T goes
But practice makes perfect, every
one knows.
Father and mother likes theories too.

surplus. The country is practically
living from hand to mouth.
Take the item OF wneat-our bread
supply-for example. Subtract our
total exports of domestic wheat and
flour from the last three years from
our total wheat production. said Mr.
Hill, and the average surplus retained
for home consumption is less than
SEQ, 100000 bushels per annum. The
100000 people living in the United
States require 63O,5OO.0O0 bushels
every year 70 keep from being hungry
and supply seed for the new crop.
And what is true of our bread sup
ply is more than true of most other
necessaries that we produce and con-
sumo.
The wealth of the country is in a
similar condition according 70 Mr.
, Hi9. Most Of it is not available for
consumption, yet in 1912 the issue OF
new securities averaged nearly $1,000
O0G for every business day. The total
was more than $2.OO0,OOO.0OO.
Excessive borrowing, induced by ex-
travagance and rec1lessness is ac-
countable for this. Speculation and
investment have gone mad in their
rush for profit.

horses to draw me, too"
So off they started; he on his
horse; she in the little silver spoon.
What do you think? The two
horses were two tiny white mice.
Pickles always kept the other side
of the road because he was SO afraid
that ne might tip the little maid over
out of the bowl of the spoon.
After a while they came to a big
sheet Of water which they must cross.
Pickles horse SHE'D. jumped across
the road and toppled little Miss Doll
out of the spoon.
She fell into the water and Pickles
moaned aloud. for he thought he had
lost her.
But pretty soon the unexpected
happened
