We've got to eat down at the Grand

but I've lost my appetite, come to
think about it."
Il know; but we've simply got to
eat"
They tried the first part of the
luncheon, and it was just after they
had tried it that Broadway, desperate
ly worrying about the future, was smit-
ten by happy thought.

EX-PRESIDENT OF RAILROAD
THINKS RURAL CREDIT is I'M
PORTANT MATTER.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, Dec. 21.--Farm
wealth of the United States, estimated
at forty billion dollars, should be the
basis on which the prosperity of the
country rests permanently, yet there is
no adequate law under which to fin
ance the farm. That was the condition
described here today at the Interstate
Agricultural Congress by w. C. Brown,
former president of the New York Cen
trail railroad.
''The establishment of farm credits
is one of the most important questions
now before the nation" Mr.. Brown
said. THE farmer is paying twice the
interest he should Long time loans at
a low rate would enable the farmer to
properly finance his work and it is this
financing upon which depends to large
degree the prosperity of the country"

SUCCESS Of GAINESVILLE
FAIR WILL RESULT IN
FLORIDA EXPOSITION
Business Manager WadswOrth Has
Been Elected Secretary Of Board of
Trade at Gainesville and Retains
His Fair Position and is Planning
Tremendous Exposition for Next
Year.
Especial to Times-Recorder)

QUITMAN, Ca, Dec. 19.-The over
whelming success of the Alachua
County Fair held at Gainesville in
November when on one day more than
five thousand people passed through
the gates, is resulting in definite plans
for Central Florida exposition to be
held next year under the same man
agement as the fair this year.
In order to hold Mr. H. H. Wads-
worth in Gainesville and let him pur-
sue the exposition plans all through
the year, he was on last Saturday
elected to the position of secretary of
the Gainesville Board of Trade, sue
ceeding Mr.. F. M. Runnels. Mr.. Wads-
worth will continue as business man
ager of the fair company and takes on
the Board of Trade work in addition
The story of the intense activity
in an industrial way now going on in
Alachua county is very interesting, and
Hates back to the holding of the
Animal Industry convention in Quit
man in the early spring of this year.
Impressed with the wonderful dis
play at the Animal Industry Conven-
ton, citizens of Alachua county and
Gainesville came to Brooks county
and made investigation of conditions
here and determined that their county
could be soon put in equal condition of
Brooks.
The result has been that the county
of Alahhua is thoroughly aroused and
interested in general diversified farm
ing. The number of people in Ala
chua county entering the hog business
is surprising and their live stock dis
play at their fair opened the eyes OF
even local citizens
1t looks like the whole of this Sec
ton is preparing for an unprecedent-
ed era of prosperity along lines of gen.
eral farm Investigation.

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO The KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful of Salts If Back
Hurts or Bladder BOthers.

We are a nation of meat eaters AMI
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
a well-known authority, who warns
US to be constantly on guard against
kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained ~
the blood to poison the entire systel,
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have sting
ing pains in the back or the urine is
cloudy, full of sediment, or the blad-
der is irritable, obliging you to seek
relief during the night; when you have
severe headaches, nervous and dizzy
spells, sleeplessness, acid stomach or
rheumatism in bad weather, get from
your pharmacist about four ounces CT
Jad Salts; take tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast each
morning and in few days your kid
neys will act fine. This famous salts
is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
has been used for generations to flush
and stimulate clogged kidneys, to
neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, tn is
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can
not injure; makes delightful effec-
vescent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking a little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active. Hooks Pharmacy. advt

VIRGINIA SONGbIRD
WOULD MARBLE WAY
OUT Of BAST|LE

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 19.-Mr. Thos.
Wadsworth Wharton, who says he is
the degenerate son of a noble Virginia
family probably will sing himself out
of the city stockade, even as he sang
himself into it. A week ago it was
related that MIR. Wharton's insistent
efforts to sing in the lobby OF local
hotel so annoyed the night clerk that
the vocalist was given twenty-one days
in the city bastile.
Now comes the keeper of the prison
to aver that Wharton sings so con-
stantly while engaged in making little
rocks out of large ones that the other
inmates are on strike and threaten to
leave, if they have to butt through a
stone wall to liberty. He desires Mr.
Wharton removed, and the quicker
the better.
Guess I'll have to get the mayor to
pardon him." said Recorder Johnson.
That's the only way l know to break
up the concerts. Then Wharton can
sing his way back to old Virginia"

1 talked with each one of the

point" said Commissioners of Agricul-
ture j. D. Price, and I asked them
to give me conservative estimates
which I feel satisfied they did. I am
inclined to think from what they said
that the reduction Will come nearer to
so per cent. than to 40.
1T is not question of what the
farmers want to do" continued Mr..
Price, "but of what they have got
to do. Farmers in every Southern
state have been hit hard by the devel-
opments of this fall and they cannot
afford to put themselves in the same
fix another year. They are not going
to take chances on it, anyway.
Judge Kone, the Texas commits

be cut fully 40 per cent. in his state,
and when Texas, reduces it's big

know it has been hit hard.

Since the outbreak of the war in

and for month or more after the

foreign countries where cotton could
