While very unpretentious In their
surroundings. we doubt If there is
more homelike appearing place on
the tract than the home of Mr.. and
Mrs Chas. Gustafson, located about
seven miles northwest of Jerome
Their comfortable little home is sur
rounded with shade and fruit trees,
and the grounds have been very taste
fully arranged while roses and other
flowers send a fragrance about the
entire place. The fruit trees are lad
en- with their respective varieties of
fruits. while a profusion of the small
fruits are noticeable on every hand.
During a visit at this place on Tues
day together with other members of
committee. we were most bounti-
fully supplied with strawberries and
cream at the hands of Mrs. Gustaf-
son. whose lille act of kindness was
highly appreciated by us all. 1t is
just such people as these that tend TO
make the North Side the popular sec
ton that it is.

Though no special train was pro-
vided. something over 20 of our citi-
zens visited the ChautauQua at Good
ing last Friday afternoon and even
ing to listen to the two musical pro-
grams which were the feature of that
day Those who attended speak
very highly of the entertainments and
of the ChautauQua in general. Good
ing certainly has reason to be proud
of the success which attended her
first Chautauqua, as we understand
that the receipts will far overreach
the guarantee, and when season tick
cts were offered for like session
next year, the required amount was
pledged In a very short time.

A PIONEER RETIRES
J. N. Wilson Quits Business After.
Forty-Six Years

After being in business here
continuously since April, 1869, j.
N. Wilson, the pioneer merchant
and citizen, retired last Monday,
having traded his stock of groceries
to e. G. Aylor Of Independence,
Mo-, for a residence at Independ-
ence. Mr.. Aylor and wife were here
and took charge Of the stock but
returned to their home at Inde-
pendence Tuesday to arrange to
come here the latter part of the
week to reside. Mr.. Wilson start
ed in the grocery business in a
building on the north side of the
park but in 1875 built the double
brick where the stock is now
located aud for many years had
dry goods and clothing as well as
groceries. Forty-six years is truly
long time to be in business In
the same town and but few men
ever attain that record. Mr.. Wilson
will go to Independence to reside
where his daughter and only child,
Miss Grace, is director of music in
the public schools. For nearly a
half century Mr.. Wilson has been
actively identified with the bust
ness interests of the town and for
many years no man had a wider
acquaintance or was better inform
ed in the history of the country
than he. His many friends hope
he may live many years to enjoy
the rest that he so richly deserves.

10000, 900 On The Water Wagon

In the May American Magazine
Captain Granville Fortescue writes an
article entitled, Battling for War
saw" 1t is an account of the great
war on the eastern frontier of Ger
many. Following is an extract:
when Russia went to war the Gar
with stroke of his pen put one hun
dred and eighty million people on the
water wagon. And, believe me, this
water wagon ikon' is no bluff. 1t is
harder to get drink in Russia today
than it is at Lake Mohonk How wise
was this edict of the ruler of Russia is
now shown in the condition of his
army. Their fighting effectiveness is
higher than that of the French and
FLY equal to the English, measured
by the physical fitness of the unit
composing the forces. On the other
hand, the German soldiers nearly all
carry TASKS of whiskey or other spir-
its. Ivan the Siberian knows this, and
| fear that the famous edict is some
times broken when a batch of prison
ers is gathered in. The TASKS are
certainly contraband of war"

BdCkaChe Is A Warning
E.kton People Should Not Neglect
Their Kidneys.

Backache is often natures most
frequent signal of weakened kidneys.
To relieve the pains and aches, to re-
move the lameness wnen it arises
from weakened kidneys, you must
reach the cause.-the kidneys. If you
have pain through the small of your
back, urinary disorders, headaches,
dizzy spells, or are nervous and de-
pressed, start treating the kidneys
with tested kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been prov
ed good and are especially for weak
kidneys. Doan's have been used in
kidney trouble for over 80 years. Here
is convincing proof of merit. 1t comes
from this locality.

Md, says: "My experience with

Crop Planting Is Problem In War

One of the most difficult problems
that the Government of East Prussia
IS trying to solve is to get the frontier
districts of the province, recently &C.
cupied by the Russians, planted in
time for this years harvests. The
agricultural lands in question can pro-
duce l,OOO,O00 tons of grain, and the
authorities are planning and working
to get them under cultivation, and so
contribute toward keeping up the
country's food supplies.
The obstacles to be overcome. how
ever, are great. Most of the popula-
ton are refugees in other parts. and
their hon les were so generally Destroy
ed that some of the most important re-
eions have not yet been declared open
for the return of the refugees. In
others the inhabitants have come back
and the inflow continues.

distant parts of the country, and these

Turkeys entrance into this war. If
she is driven out of Europe and fore
ed out of western Asia Minor. it would
seem she must withdraw into Pales-
tine. When Islam and other heather
religionists come to grips with armed
Christendom in the Holy Land, we
shall have Armageddon. The door is
now flung wide open for just such a
denoument. And will peace follow it ?
Nay. verify; and there will be no bat
ties fought after that. for there will
be no one left to fight them. That
closes the history of this present
world, and leaves the wicked slain up
on the earth and the righteous on
their way with angelic escort to the
place of their reward.
Very sincerely yours,
