After suffering for 13 years from
the most painful form of rheumatism
and fully recovering his health, Mr..
Andrew Nelson of So. Portland, Me-,

moved every sign of this painful dis
ease. He said:
81 suffered agonies from sciatic
rheumatism so bad at times that
was unable TO turn over in bed and
was unable to work for weeks at a
time; in fact the greater part of the
time / had to go about with the aid
of cane. Naturally I tried about
everything recommended for rheu-
matism, but found very little relief
Hearing so much about Var-ne-sis
decided to try it, This seemed to be
the one medicine that had been
looking for, and after taking it a
short time I began to feel relieved,
was able to go about much better,
and finally, by continuing the medi-
cine, every pain and ache left me.
II have recommended Xar-ne-sis to
all my friends who suffer from this
terrible disease and ] cannot say too
much in its favor.
var-ne-sis is the one remedy for
rheumatism. especially in chronic
cases after ordinary treatments and
remedies fail. It does not contain
soda, salicylates. iodides or anything
that disturbs the stomach or puts

POTA !0ES

On Saturday potatoes in the Fort
Fairfield market had risen to about
50 cents. On Monday a dollar was
paid for a few loads. on Tuesday the
dollar price was a little more nearly
confirmed, while this Wednesday it is
the general price, although it is under
stood that potatoes in the Boston
market are not at such a figure as
to warrant the paying of $1.00 here.
There are very few potatoes now
coming, practically no Cobblers, as
they are being saved for seed sales
next February and March. This has
been a hard season on the potato
buyers, most Of them having lost mon
ey, according to all accounts.-Fort

Perhaps Too Many Potatoes.

The yield of potatoes throughout
the United States seems to be consid-
erably heavier, according to the re-
port of the department of agriculture
for November, than was at first
thought. 1t is reckoned now to DE 406,-
2SS000 bushels. whereas last year il
was only 331. 525, 900, an increase OF
over % per cent. OF course Maine
tops the list in average yield. having
255 bushels to the acre, While New
York comes in second of the big pro-
ducing states with las bushels. Cali
fornia third with 1873, Wisconsin
fourth with 124 and Michigan, Colora-
do and Minnesota next with 121, 120
and ia respectively. OF course some
of the smaller states have bigger
yields to the acre than some of those
last mentioned, but they do not cut
much figure in the total yield of the
country New York with $4,000, 900
bushels leads this year. as of yora,
Michigan with 44.044 600 comes Sec
ond, Wisconsin third with $4,000, 900.
Maine fourth with 81. 100000. Minneso-
Ia fifth with 1852, 900 and Pennsyl-
vania sixth with 2S. 40S, 900 These fig
ures seem to make il rather probable
that the price of potatoes will not go
above $3.50 the coming winter or
spring, even If as high as that The
Review, however, sticks to it's predic-
ton made some weeks ago that the
price will wander along between L.
and $3.50 for practically the whole
season.--F'ort Fairfield Review

them and benefit the whole country.
?esslmlsts may seek to dwarf the
results to the country at large, but
facts and precedents are all against
them. Large harvests, ample sup
plies of money this autumn in the
United States, prices as yet in many
OF our products not materially lower,
surely will place the inhabitants of
the farming districts in position to
purchase largely of the outputs of our
manufactures. We have now the
testimony of the heads of the railway
systems as to what this tonnage
means to their roads. 1t necessitates
the employment of more men, the
purchase of more cars, of more mo-
tive power and largely increased sup
plies of steel rails and all other ma
terial that enters into the transpor-
tation business.

Calamity Howl Out of Place.
{ Big Bend Outlook.)


With all the commercial and bust
ness agencies in the country predict
ing boom when this seasons bounti-
full crops are harvested, the calamity
howl that goes up from some of our
exchanges seems out of place, to say
the least. In the panic times of '07,
when business was at the lowest ebb
it has been in the last twenty years,
anyone who spoke in any but an OPP
timistic tone was denounced as a
traitor by the members of the party
in power. Yet these same patriots"
are the worst howlers we have today.
With them the wish is evidently faith
er of the thought, and if they could
only bring on panic by hook or
crook they would do it gladly, in spite
of the disaster it might bring upon
others.

Increase in the area of land being
indicated by the fire permit report for
the month of June issued by State
Fire Warden Ferris. The report
shows that 2,S33 permits were grant
ed to burn slashings on 25,857 acres
of land to be used for agricultural
purposes. This is more than twice as
great as the area of land burned in
June, 1913.
Forty thousand acres of logged-oif
lands and old burns were burned
over during June to reduce fire haz-
ards and in many cases to put the
land under cultivation.

McAdOO and the Farmers.
darlington Chronicle.)

Big money brokers are again
aroused to bitter outcry at the sug-
gestion from the treasury department
that Secretary McAdoo will repeat
last years experiment of giving fed
eral aid in the movement of crops.
The hint that upward of $2OO,O0O,-
900 of government money will be put
on tap in national banks to relieve
the 1914 harvest credit stringency is
greeted by the organized banking in
terests as if it were an announcement
of projected highway robbery. To re-
lax credit in order that the farmer
may pay lower interest rates means
the shaving of commissions and Gu
mulative brokerage fees. Further
more, we hear, idle money is drug
on the market and there can be no
stringency. But this idle money is
manifesting no disposition to hurry
out into the broad farming areas.
Wall Streets idle, money generally
creeps to the farmer on twenty per
cent crutches and the farmer must
WOO it largely by the power of prayer.
An influx of federal money into the
national banks might cause some of
these "superfiuous' millions to hustle
out in ten per cent magic boots-iand
that is where the pinch comes. 1t is
slower and surer and altogether bal
mier to employ the good old twenty
per cent crutches and keep the pro-
Queer guessing. We are told by these
master economists that nature has al
ready been Unfortunately lavish in
promising enormous crops. 1t is an
accepted urban principle that the
business methods of American hus-
bandry should demand only meager
returns from the soil. Bumper crops
are bonanza finds and should be
reckoned as such, no matter how long
or how patiently they have. been
sought. The fact that big crops mean
better business for everybody has no
significance in Wall Street unless
it follows that Wall Street cinches its
everlasting hog share of the proceeds

Can't Fool the Employees.
(Inland Empire News.)

A railroad employe was complain
ing to the editor few days ago about
work being SO scarce in the Great
Northern shops; or rather about that
company working it's men short days
and hours and short in number, when
there are now about dozen Grip
pied locomotives in the shops to be
rebuilt and repaired. The men who
work in the shops have the spectacle
before them of there being lots of
work to be done, yet are not given an
opportunity to do it; are held down
to short hours. short days, and fewer
in number than usual.
Asked to what he attributes the
situation, he said that he lays the
blame entirely to the railroad COM
months ago showed the company to
have made several million dollars
profits. Business is good with the
company. There's reason for this
needless "slack work" And if a
sensible man will put two and two
together he will arrive at the correc:
solution. The Wilson administration
is working toward a point where the
little fellow will have fair shake in
spite of the desires of the big fellows
and the big fellows don't like it. And
to make slack work" for those who
want to work, may result in helping
defeat those who do not play into
the hands of the big interests.
And there you are.
