have done many times insyears gone by is
the best guarantee of future results. Any
one with bad back; any reader suffering
from urinary troubles, from kidney ills,
should find comforting words in the fol-
lowing statement from Ellsworth Falls:
E. P. Lord, Ellsworth Falls, Me-, says:

were especially severe when l stopped or
lifted. When having one Iof these spells
three years ago, decided to try Doan's
Kidney Pills, and got alsupply at Moore's
Drug Store. They removed the trouble in
a remarkably short time, and after taking
them, enjoyed much better health. The
cure has lasted. The endorsement l gave

EDITORS NOTE - The above letter was
written before announcement was made
in THE AMERICAN Of the agricultural
prizes offered by the Union Trust Co., of
Ellsworth, and of the farm demonstra-
tion work and organization of boys and
girls agricultural clubs, which is the out
growth of this enterprise on the part of
the Union Trust Co. Mr.. LeLaittre's
letter seems almost prophetic Of the work
undertaken here, and it is source of
qualification to report to him that the
county OF Hancock, to which he remains
so loyal, has more than ''fallen in Nne";
it is setting the pace for New England. In
a later letter, Mr.. DeLaittre writes:
lam sending you an ear of White Cap dent
north as the Canada line. This corn was bred
for northern Minnesota by our state corn ex-
perts, and will mature in from ninety to one
hundred days after planting. Yield, sixty to
one hundred bushels per acre. have sent a
half bushel to tine North Ellsworth Farmers
club for the contestants in the club Of boys
to whom am offering prizes.
Glad to learn the Union Trust Co. has gone
into this matter. and If it wishes to try this
corn can procure it If ordered soon.
The Union Trust Co. will doubtless Sc
cure some of the seed for the boys clubs
contesting for its prizes, and for farm
ers desiring to experiment with it.
