After reading of so many people in our
city who have been cured by Doan's kid

SIS this medicine equally successful in

statement of this Park River resident
leave no room for doubt on this point.

kidney trouble; | had severe pains in
the small of my back: nothing brought
m- as quick and positive relief as Doan's
kidney pills: they have saved me a great
deal of suffering and | gladly give them
the credit they deserve. | have since
been free from kidney complaint: all |

GENERAL PANCHo L AND SAMPLES OF
H MONEY HE
In chihuahua City the market is now
thronged every morning with buyers
and sellers. There are practically no
destitute people in the streets. and the
banks OF Ell PaSo quote Villa currency
at 45 cents.
More lately he has taken to issuing
copper coins as we'll as paper money.
The amount of copper available for
his mint is only limited by the amount
of electric light. trolley and other cop
per wires in the state. The coin
shown in the illustration is Il two cen
tavo piece. 9 cents in Mexican and APP
proximatrly one-quarter of Il cen in
the United States. 1t is intended for
general circulation. but the number
stamped out is very small.
This coin was made out of five miles
Of copper wire belonging to the Parrat
Electric Light and Power company. IN
American corporation controlled by
! William W. Stewart. an American.
When Villa went into chihuahua and
swept down to Parral he appropriated
the copper wire. informing MI. Stew
art first that he would pay for every
thing the stern necessity OF war would
require him to take and. further. that
he wanted MI. Stewart to continue the
operation of his plant. Mr.. Stewart
arose to inquire how he was going to
transmit light OF power without wires,
but hat was a detail with which Gen
eral Villa did not bother himself. He
did pay for the wire. it is reported.
He sent MI. Stewart just forty OF the
new two centavo pieces with his com
pliments. which broke the price OF
copper somewhat. Coin collectors of
the United States. hearing of the new
issue. are now b%esieging FL paso for
early samples of the new mint. and
they are selling at a premium.
When Villa first entered the city of
Chihuahua in triumph his first act was
to seize the authority in chihuahua
and proclaim himself military COVER
nor of the state. Then he set about
securing order.
But Villa 500 found he needed
money, and needed it badly. for the
purchase of ammunition and arms and
other necessaries and to pay his sol
diers. But there was No money in
sight. Those who had possessed any
had buried it in the ground. and so
Villa met this emergency by proceed
ing to make money in his own arbitrary
fashion.

AMOUNT OF WATER
USED DAILY ON FARM
Statistics Indicate Large GUAM
tity in the Aggregate.
MACHINERY GAN DO THE WORK

The amount of water used daily On
the farm gives a measure of the
amount OF work required in handling
it.
in a recent bulletin Of the United
States department OF agriculture the
following are given as the amounts
of water required OF a farm daily:
Each member of the family, twenty
five to forty gallons; each COW,
twelve gallons; each horse, ten gal
Ions; each hog, two and one-half gal
Ions; each sheep, two gallons. A
family of five would need 1875 gallons
to 200 gallons a day. If this has to be
carried 100 feet and n pail is car
ried at a time, it will mean travelling ESQ
miles a year with a pail full of water.
If this all has to be pumped, say sew
enty-tive feet, it will mean raising 1877
IONS of water se%venty-five feet high.
This is work that can be done by
machinery, and should be, but often it
has to be done by the women. The
Windmill can be used to pump this
water and to put it into the house,
where turning a faucet will bring it,
and such an outfit need not cost very
much. This is done on many farms,
as we'll as at several of the North Da-
kota s~ubstations. Then the waste
water can be run into a septic tank
and thus remove the labor of carrying
it out. The gasoline engine is also
being used with much success for
pumping water.
When windmill power is used the
storage tank. needs to be large enough
to hold several days supply, while if a
gasoline engine is used the storage
capacity need be only enough for a
day, or say 200 gallons fer a family
Of six. If this supply is TO provide
for stock, too, the storage capacity
will need to be increased accordingly.
Fire protection is another thing
that the water can be used for, and
the storage capacity needs to be in
| creased if this is to be provided for.
AS the water supply is made more
convenient, more uses will be made
OF it, and so a greater service secured.

~ ENERAL PANCHO VILLA.
upon whom the eyes of the
NA world have been focused of
late. though undoubtedly a
bandit and probably Il murderer, is
still a man who Gems to be equal to
any emergency and who meets it,
whether he fully appreciates it or not.
after his own peculiar fashion-in fact,
in Il way, it may be said that he makes
the emergency meet him.
Finding the currency exceedingly
scarce in the state of Chihuahua, IL
territory twice as big us New York
state. which he overran and conquered
in a months campaign. he set to work
to make currency Of his own. He i'm
mediately issued 100000 in paper cur
rency, signed with his own name and
secured by 100000 worth of contis-
Gated property. Finding the prices
for'food very high, he proceeded to fix
the price of beef at Is cents Il pound,
milk at Z cents a quart and bread at 9
cents a loaf. The acceptance of the
new money was made compulsory.
and StOrekeeperS were forbidden to adj
vance prices on that account by the
most severe penalties.
Villas currency was valueless in
American banks. Mexican silver fell
to As cents. and the bills of the Ma
tional bank. the Bank of Sonora, the
Banco Minero and wen the Bank of
London and Mexico dropped to 80
cents on the dollar. But still this
comparatively good money refused to
be lured from it's many hiding places.
SO Villa boldly issued Il proclamation
stating that after Il certain date all
the good money would be absolutely
without value. 1t must be exchanged
before that time at the state treasury
for Villa money and after that date
would not be accepted ever there.
And yet. strange to relate, no panic
has befallen the state of Chihuahua.

that there was a considerable reduc-
ton in the number of wild oats upon
the land. The yield OF rye obtained
in the fall of 1913 was 14.57 bushels
per acre.
Another trial was made upon land
that had grown a crop Of peas and
oats cut for hay in 1912, and a
second growth Of oats was left stand
ing to protect the rye. This plat was
sowed at the same rate Of seeding
and upon the same date as the rye
upon ground that had grown wheat in
1912, yet the yield was somewhat low

Served In Unique Institution.

The village of Clayville, in Oneida
county, has a unique tramp house. 1t
is a wooden building about twenty feet
square. 1t has one door and one win
dow, plank floors and no basement.
Its sanitary provisions would make a
health officer gasp for breath. says the
New York Times. but it is popular with
tramps, and since it was opened about
twenty years ago more than $4,000
men have been fed and lodged in the
building.
Every tramp who enters the village
is entitled to lodging, supper and
breakfast in the tramp house. Some
times if a tramp is i'll he remains there
for a week or two and m out look
ing better than if a metropolitan hos
pital had had him in charge. The
town Of Paris pays the cost for the
purpose of keeping tramps from sleep
ing in barns or begging food or lodg-
ings from the people. Before the house
was opened the town suffered great an
noyance from tramps. Barns were
burned and people attacked by men
who had been denied food or shelter.
The tramp house has solved this prob
lem in a very satisfactory manner.
Goal of Tramps From Many Points.
Tramps come into the village on foot
or on freight trains from Utica on the
north and Binghamton on the south.
The town of Paris is the gateway to

Do Not Overfeed Calves.

The young calf should never be
overfed. It's stomach is not large,
and the ordinary calf should not have
more than a pint and a half or two
pints of milk at a feeding when very
young. That is one advantage in
leaving it with the COW for a day or
two. 1t feeds when it needs to and
it does not overfeed.
