LOVE TRIUMPHANT
OVER DIFFICULTIES

Love at last has found a way
In the case of DR.. R. w. Donohoe
and Mrs. Cressey Warnock
Hughes, both late residents of
Toledo, Or, who were married
in Shanghai, China, a few days
ago, says the Newport cores
pondent of the 0rsssooGiiiSai,.
The young couple had tried
in vain to get married in this
county, as Mrs. Donohoe was
the divorced wife of Allen p.
Hughes Of Astoria, and the legal
interval had not elapsed. They
chartered the launch Ollie S. at
Newport, intending to go beyond
the three-mile limit at sea,
where Captain Garner, master
of the vessel, would have offici-
ated. But fate was against
them. The bar was too rougl,
to permit the launch to pass out,
and, as they intended to sail
few days later for Shanghai,
they abandoned the attempt and
went to Seattle.
They sailed May 2Sth on a
japanese steamer and would
have been married on board by
the captain, but Mrs. Donohoe
Objected TO n .Jnnauasp cern-
mony. A letter received today
by Mrs. Donohoe's father, Rob-
ert Warnock, Of Toledo, said
that they were in Japan and
soon would be in Shanghai,
where they would be married at
the United States Consulate
upon their arrival.
DR.. Donohoe will practice
dentistry in Shanghai. He met
his wife at Toledo last Winter.

An Oral Affidavit.

Justice of the Peace Murphy, OF
Treasure City, Nevada, was renown-
ed for what Tom Cox called 1.-THE
.strenuosity of his good opinion OF
himself" The attorney for the
plaintiff appeared at 1918 a. M, on
the, day assigned by the judge for
the trial of case, and was Informed
that the defendants counsel had
been there at 10 o'clock and moved
for a continuance for a month, and
he had granted it. "But, your
honor" said the counsel, "the law
is that in a Justices court it is al
ways 10 o'clock until it is H.
"Will you please point out to me, y
said his honor, that section Of the
statutes of Nevada which requires
me to sit idle for an hour like a
bump on a log, while a lazy lawyer
is sleeping off his last nights
drunk"
ION what ground did your honor
continue the case?" said the lawyer.
"The defendant made an affidavit
that his witnesses were absent re-
piled the court.
"Will your honor please let me
see the afidavit?" said the lawyer.
Il cannot do that replied the
court. He made the affidavit oral
ly, and I filed it verbally"
But an affidavit must be written y
said the lawyer.
There you go again interruptin
the deliberations of the court with a
lot of fool technicalities, said the
justice. Here show me, if you can,
that section of the statutes of Ne
vada which requires an affidavit to
be in writing"
81 give it up," said the lawyer. Il
will dismiss the case here and bring
it before the justice of the peace in
Allentown, where I can get justice. "
''You will not" said Judge Muir
ply. "You will be here this day
month to try it. If you attempt to
maliciously and corruptly deprive me
of the business because you cannot
bulldoze me, I'll send YOU to jail for
thirty days for contempt. Be off

ASKS ABOUT COTTON FINANCES.
South Carolina Senator Informed Re-
serve System Has Ample Funds.

Washington, August 20.-Last
| year, owing to the newness of the
| federal reserve system, little aid
| could be afforded through it to the
cotton growers, and the Vreeland
emergency currency was loanable on
ly on paper representing commercial
transactions. Senator E. D. Smith
| was gratifed today to find the ex-
perts of the reserve board in agree
| ment with him as to the ability OF
member banks to give the farmers
aid. The South Carolina senator
made the following statement, when
seen by a correspondent, after con-
ference at the treasury:
"By previous agreement 1 met with
the federal reserve board this morn
ing to ascertain the two things OF
vital interest to the cotton grower Ill
this emergency, namely, is there suf-
ficient capital at the command of the
new banking and currency system to
meet the emergency, and is there a
practical means of reaching the indi-
vidual farmer with this capital? TIC
! both of these 1 was answered in the
affirmative.
Not Limited.
"There seems to have been mis-
apprehension of the law on the part
of some of the bankers, and certain
ly on the part of the public at large
The amount of paper that mem
Der bank can rediscount at the re-
gional reserve bank is In nowise linn
tied by the capital stock or surplus
of the bank. The regional reserve
bank will rediscount all paper on cot
ton %. KID by any member bank
regardless of the capital and surplus
of that bank. Therefore, any South
ern member bank can, if it will, ex'
tend aid to every cotton grower in
It's IAAo yOoA.
"The rate of rediscount has been
reduced from 6 per cent to 4 pei
cent, with possibility of going still
lower. 1t; therefore, seems reason
able that loans on cotton should not
exceed per cent. to the farmer.
"I was informed that never before
in our history has there been such
ample capital to finance the business
! and the staple farm products of this
country. The only question to be
decided is the amount per bale &C
cording to grade. that will be loaned
the farmer. This amount, of course
will be controlled more or less by
the general market. The reserve
board is fully aware that the cond1-
ton now demands the holding OF
cotton and not the financing Of the
movement of cotton. The law allows
loan for six months, with the privi-
lege of renewal.
f'This is a synopsis of the facts as
given me by the reserve board this
morning. 1 have addressed a letter
to them in the form of an. inquiry
involving these facts, to which am
promised a written reply, which
will make public upon it's receipt"
Senator Smith left for Lynchburg
, tonight.

most serious one in years in Iowa, +"
says r. X. Bliss, head of the extern
sion department. "The indications
are that the seed corn supply on
hand in the northern counties is to-
tally inadequate to the needs.
ITO import the seed is an uncer-
tain practice. The business like
thing to do is to get the seed at home.
This can almost certainly be done ii
an organization is formed to make
a thorough canvass to ascertain the
supply of new seed on hand and To-
cate old cribs of corn that may be
tested out and used.
THE possible returns from such
a canvass are enormous. An increas7
of one bushel of corn per acre in most
counties next fall will add 10000
bushels to the crop. This would
mean a saving of $4,000. A five
bushel increase means $250,0OO say.

doubtedly add from one to five bush.

IOWA'S LARGEST FARM.
Contains 1880 Acres Near Odebolt,
Devoted Exclusively to
Crops.

How many Iowa people know that
the largest farm in the state-elev-
en- and one-half sections, 1880 acres
is conducted by a descendant of
John Adams, second president of the
United States? This ranch, which is
devoted almost exclusively to rails
ing soil crops, lies one mile south of
Odebolt, in Sac county, and the
tract is one that should attract thou
sands of Iowans, not alone for its
beauty, but to observe the manner
of cultivation. 1t is said that the
Adamses, father and son, who oper-
ate the place, make no effort to
show it off to visitors and pay little
attention to people driving through
the farm. They have a private road
diagonally through the main section,
which permits a splendid view of the
large residences and the largest
barns, the hotel, hospital, etc This
private road is left open most of the
year and people driving through this
land usually express the greatest
Wonderment and admiration for
what they see. For instance, recent
ly you would see forty-five teams and
cultivators going through a field in
section of corn. Another whole
section of land is devoted, perhaps
to oats, another to wheat and then
more to corn. The machinery on
the place would stock the largest
implement house in Iowa. This elev-
en- and one-half sections comprise
what formerly was known as the
Wheeler ranch, and on which Wheel
er went broke twenty-five years ago.
But the present proprietor is rated
at seven times a millionaire, and his
farming operations seem to be add
ing to his pile, although he does not
raise much live stock on the place.

kidneys and at intervals caused my
back to ache. About six years ago
had an attack. l could hardly get
out of bed in the morning, because
every time l moved, a sharp pain
caught me in the small of my back.
The action of my kidneys was too
frequent and the kidney secretions
were unnatural. A friend advised
me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and
used fully a dozen boxes with good
results"

Winter Egg Production Hints.

Winter eggs are the eggs that
count. Hens will quickly respond to
proper treatment with more eggs if
given a chance. Here's how:
Fix permanent winter laying and
sleeping quarters. The house need
not be warm, but must be free from
draughts. Build it tight on three
sides, with open windows on the
south that can be covered with mus
lin in severe weather.
Keep the house filled with IL to
Is inches of clean straw and feed all
grain in this litter. More eggs will
result from making the hen work for
her living.
Provide plenty of nests and lots
of clean straw in them.
Corn, wheat and oats are better
fed mixed than separately and
should be fed in litter.
When green feed is lacking, sup
ply it in the form of sprouted oats
or soaked alfalfa.
Keep a pan of grit, oyster shell
and charcoal in the hen house.
Plenty of fresh water in a clean
drinking vessel should be always at
hand.
Mix bran, middlings, corn meal,
ground oats, meat scraps or high
grade tankage in a mash and place
in an open hopper. The hen will not
eat too mucn.
