painted black and gray instead Of
the usual red color.
About midway our ship suddenly
turned and took a northerly course
to avoid German merchant marine
that was spied out at sea. but in five
days we were across and with The
exception of that little encounter our
voyage was free from danger.
We landed in New York Thursday

travelled over many miles we have
seen nothing more pleasing to our
sight than our dear home town, my
own, my native land"
We have written each time of the
troubles that we have experienced
but there were many pleasures in
connection with our trip. We prefer
to forget the former in pleasant MEM
cries of the many days enjoyed in our
visits to historic and sacred places
full of|interesting pictures of life on
the other side of the world, of which
we may write later.

In the Hands of Friends.

Jenkins, a newly-wedded suburban
ite, kissed his wife goodbye telling
her he would be home at 6 o'clock
that evening. Then he got in his
auto and started for town.
Midnight arrived and no hubby.
She could bear the suspense no long
er, so arousing her father, she sent
him to the telegraph office with six
kilograms to as many brother Elks
living in the city, asking each if her
husband was stopping there over
night.
At dawn a farm wagon carrying
a farmer friend and husband drove
up to the house. The broken down
auto was in tow. Almost simultan-
eously came a messenger boy with
a telegram followed at intervals by
FIVE others. All of them read:
Yes. Henry is spending the night
with ME. "-EXchange.

Plenty of Vegetables the Year Round.

In the spring of 1912 l purchased
a Gamer from an advertiser in the
Progressive Farmer, with view to
canning for home use only, but after
receiving my outfit and studying the
instructions. my wife and began
work with our new outfit, which cost
US, / think, about SIT with Gaping

plete. We put up peaches, grapes.
blackberries, kraut, beets, tomatoes,
string beans, apples: in fact, We can
ned some of everything We had in
the way of fruit and vegetables, and
with fine. success, as we did not lose
a single can of 1000 that we put
up.
OF course, we did not use all of
this put up, but had a market around
home for all that we did not use at
a fancy price. Last summer we put
up 100 cans of string beans, some
peaches, blackberries, kraut and to-
matoes, in all about 1000 cans,
which netted us, counting out all eX-
penses of gathering and canning.
about $3.50. All of this work was
done at a time when there was not
much else to do on the farm.
| would advise anyone who lives
on a farm to purchase a Gamer and
put up at least enough fruit and veg
etables for home use and some for
the market if you can. because you
can always get a sale and get good
price for it. One should have plenty
of canned goods for home use be-
cause they are healthful. give us a
change in diet, save money in buy
ing other things, and believe some
times save a doctors bill.-T. E.

Columbia Attorney is Grateful to the
People for Flattering Vote.

Il believe a constructive era is
upon US and new awakening Of
the civic and moral forces of the

Life Insurance Companies
They Are Closely Observing
Health Conditions.

An examining physician for one OF
the prominent Life Insurance Com
panies, in an interview on the SUBJ
ject. made the astonishing statement
that one reason why so may appll-
cants for insurance are rejected is
because kidney trouble is so common
to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that
they have the disease.
According to this it would seem
that medicine for the kidneys, pos
sessing real healing and curative
properties. would be a blessing to
thousands.
DR.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghampton.
N.Y..who prepare Dc.Eilmer'S swamp
Root. the we'll known kidney. liver
and bladder remedy, claim that Judg-
ing from evidence received from
druggists everywhere. who are con-
stantly in touch with their custom
ers. and also indisputab.e proof in
the form of grateful testimonial let
terS from thousands of reliable cItl-
zens. this preparation is remarkably
successful in sickness caused by kid
ney and bladder troubles. Every in
teresting statement they receive re-
garding Swamp-Root is investigated
and no testimonial is published un-
less the party who sends it is report
ed of good character. They have
on file many sworn statements OF
recoveries in the most distressing
cases. They state that DR.. kilmer's
Swamp-Root is mild and gentle IN
its action and its healing influence is
soon noticed in most cases.
Swamp-Root is purely an herbal
compound and DR.. kilmer & Co. ad-
wise all readers who feel in need of
such a remedy to give it trial. 1t
is on sale at all drug stores in bot
ties of two sizes--50c. and s1.0O.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to
Dr.. Kilmer & Co.. Binghampton, n.
Y, for a sample bottle. When writ
ing be sure and mention the Bam-
berg Weekly Herald.

so attractive to American tourists.
We ali agreed that the canoes and
beads. and laces had never seemed
so beautiful. One of the girls said
she felt like the little beggar girl on
the street looking in the shop win
-dows at Christmas.
But those little Inconvenience
were small compared with the ac-
counts of narrow escapes OF tourists
who had just come from Switzerland.
They were almost panic-stricken on
reaching our hotel in Milan and were
determined to go on to Genoa to take
the first boat for home and to pay
any price for whatever accommoda-
tions that would be offered them. We
heard afterwards that they paid two
hundred dollars for steerage passage.
DR.. Wicker did not think that was the
best thing to do at that time and de-
cided to await developments. So we
wrote letters home and sent large
batch by the passengers from Genoa
and in the meantime remained quiet
" in Milan.
We tried to keep in good spirits
and make the best of the situation.
We began "supposing." Suppose we
had to stay indefinitely in Italy? We
decided to examine ourselves as to
our various abilities and choose some
means of employment for a liveli-

Villa Will Move His
Army Toward Capital

Ell PASO, July N.-Indications today
were that General Villa was preparing to
move his entire army toward Mexico
City, leaving only local garrisons in the
territory he dominates II previously
had been understood that the northern
constitutionalist leader would participate
in the mobilization above the national
capital with only 5000 men.
Reports received at Chihuahua City
where Villa is quartered said the eastern
and western divisions were mobilIzing
large numbers of men to the south. This
was said TO account for Villas delay In
moving south, and the extensive recruit
ing of men throughout his division. Gem

Naturalization
Papers Bought and
Sold in st. Louis

ST LOUIS. July S.-Investiagtion into
an alleged traffic in naturalization papers
was begun here today by the hoard of
election commissioners. The Inquiry re-
suited from the affirmation OF one
Assyrian that he had purchased the
naturalization papers of a fellow country
man who had returned to his native land
and the statement by another that 1t
was common practice in the Syrian colony
to buy or borrow citizenship papers.
The commissioners today estimated that
at least 400 Syrians, most Of them om-
ployed by the city were registered under
naturalization papers not their own.
The traffic, it appears. has been carried
on for the double purpose of obtaining
municipal jobs for the holders OF the
papers and rendering them eligible to
vote.

the only difficulty so far lies in the dis
agreement as TO just how said hatchets
areto be replaced with olive branches.
Every delegate offers a guaranteed
recipe for the much-needed harmony,
and insists that every other delegate s
recipe won't work, so prospects are good
for a hot disagreement over how to get

caucus scheduled fr this morning,

national prohibition as a party plank,
while that hobby OF the beerless leader
of some Of the democrats seems TO have
no following among the latter, since
"Wilyum Jennings" moved his grape

Equal suffrage is expected to bob up
as the various party platforms are con-

have donned their war paint and made
plans TO plead for recognition in the
party declaration. 1t is thought that they
will devote their attention chiefly to the
republicans, who as the probable winners
at the fall election would be the ones
whom the women ballot seekers would

Any means of saving friction
makes for energy and power.
National manufacturers are
turning more and more towards
newspaper advertising because
II eliminates waste motion in
distribution.
They find the newspaper not
only reaches the consumer but
IL directly influences the local
dealer.
The retailer knows when he
sees an advertisement in his
home paper that there will be-
inquiries at his store.
He acts accordingly and all
friction is eliminated from the
