WORDS FROM HOME
Statements Thay May Be Investigate
ed. Testimony of Ladysmith
Citizens

When a Ladysmith citizen comes
to the front, telling his friends and
neighbors of his experience, you can
rely on his sincerity. The statements
OF people residing in far away
places do not command your conf
dence. Home endorsement is the kind
that backs Doan's Kidney Pills. Such
testimony is convincing. Investiga-
ton proves it true Below is a state
ment of Ladysmith resident. No
stronger proof of merit can be had.
Mrs. L. Winters, e. Fritz Ave. La

WISCONSIN VARIETIES
TOP THE MARKET
Wolf River and Wealthy Apples
Lead in Price in New York

1t will be a matter Of surprise to
Wisconsin people that the Wolf Riv-
er and Wealthy apples were in the
lead in the New York market last
week, but such is the report in the
New York Fruit Trade Journal.
The report shows that the Wis
consin varieties brought $3.50 to
$500 per barrel, While Kings rare
ly exceeded $400'' and generally sold
for $500 to $3.50. Twenty Ounce
from $500 to $3.50. Greetings around
$500 and other kinds about the
same.
Is it not about time that we dis
continued our regrets that We can
not grow the kinds that bring the
lower prices and contented ourselves
with the varieties that bring the
top prices?

Experts Work to Find Remedy For
Pea BLIGHT

Plant experts Of the college of ag

Of controlling pea blight This is
one Of the most damaging pests with

Railroad Needed to Yukon Valley
Alaska

Railroad Needed to Yukon Valley,
Alaska
The estimated value Of the gold
produced in the Alaska portion of
the Yukon basin in 1912, was $685.
900, compared with $1,000, 900 in 1911.
This decrease is due to the falling
off of the output from the Fairbanks
end Hot Springs districts, for the
other Yukon camps either held their
own or somewhat increased their
output compared with the preceding
year.
The Fairbanks district continues
to be the largest producer of placer
gold in the Yukon country. 1t can
not maintain this position long, how
ever, without radical change in
mining conditions which will make
it possible to exploit profitably its
extensive bodies of low-grade placers.
But little has been accomplished in
this direction and the best hope of
the future lies in obtaining direct
railway connection with tidewater

Although the report has been received from Blevins that there is no small pox there, yet it is a hard matter to get anyone to make trip to that town. For instance, a Little Rock attorney wired for Stenographer in Prescott to go to Blevins with him today to take some deposi> tions.

CHAMBER
CR|T|C|zES
RAILROADS

The grade crossing accident last
night which resulted in the death of
John H. Prohl again furnished cause
for severe criticism from the Hammond
Chamber of Commerce for the railroads
who employ inefficient men as gatemen
and crossing watchmen. The board of
directors held their regular meeting
last night. and among other things in
structed the secretary to write TO all
the railroads maintaining watchmen in
Hammond to the effect that reliable
employees are demanded.
While there was some discussion on
the interurban connection between
Hammond and Chicago Heights for
which the intermediary towns want the
Chambers support, nothing was done
IN the matter last night. The commit
tee from the towns sent word that it
was not yet ready to present its subject

is her opinion that the gates were
lowered, but an instant before the
train arrived. 1t was rumorsd in the
neighborhood that the man in the tow
er said that he will swear that the
gates were down In plenty of time. AS
Prohl was known as a most conserva-
tive and cool-headed driver, this will
sound incongruous. At a rate Of five
miles an hour Prohl could have STONED
on the spot. and had something gone
wrong with his machine he would have
jumped. But as 1t evidently happened
the blow on the head completely
stunned him. He never recovered CON

is probable that he knew nothing after
