The readers of this paper will
be pleased TO learn that there is
at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all its stages, and that is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure now known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh be-
ing a constitutional disease, re-
quires a constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its
work. The proprietors have 50
much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to
cure. Send for list of testimonials.

SAMUEL FINLEY BREEsE MORSE

An artist and portrait painter by pro-
fession. Morse became an inventor by
chance. Al casual remar by a fellow
passenger on board ship when he was
returning from London In 1892 caused
him to take up the study of electricity.
That remark was: .Dr. Franklin's ex-
pertinent proved that electricity passes
in~stantaneously over a wire of any
length Before the voyage was COM
pleted, Morse had invented the "Dot-
and-Dash" alphabet, n had thought
out and planned essentially the electric
telegraph as it exists today.
But It was not until 1874 that the first
line was completed between Washington
and Baltimore, and the historic message
what hath God Wrought" was sent.
For years, he tried to interest Congress
in his project, then he visited England
and france hoping to interest the gov
ernrments of these countries, but without
success. When he returned In 1889. he
wrote: IT am without a farthing In my
pocket, and have to borrow ever for my
meals; and even worse than this, I have
incurred a debt of rent by my absence"
But he continued to petition Congress,
and finally was rewarded for his persever-
ance by an appropriation of 100000 which
built the NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. lines and
placed his name in the front rank OF

GOLDEN YEAR FOR FARMERS.
Total Value of Crop. for Year Is
N,352, ,o0o, 900.

Chicago.-This is the golden year
for the American farmer. His leading
crops for 1914 were worth $4,S52, ,O0O.-
600 Sept. l., leading grain men esti-
mated, using the government Septem-
ber crop report as a basis. This is
$682.000. 900 more than the farmer re-
ceived last year for the same five
crops-wheat, corn, oats. barley and
hay-and forecasts the richest returns
to the soil tillers in the history OF the
United States. This years record
breaking wheat crop alone is valued
at $S36.000.000. compared to a valua-
tion of $5Ss,000, 900 in 1918. This total
value is computed at an estimated
farm value of S3.3 cents per bushel
Sept. 1 for an estimated total of $780,.
900. 900 bushels.
Since Sept. the price of wheat has
advanced steadily.
Ordinarily huge wheat crop means
low prices per bushel to the farmers.
This year. despite the enormous crop,
the European war has boosted wheat
prices.
Eventually. grain men point out,
this more than $4,0oO.0Oc in farm
prosperity" must trickle through until
general business conditions reflect the
increase in crop values.
