PUSH, BUT DON'T SHOVE

Push your town along, but don't
shove it off the map.
Work for it, and not against it.
You may think that your defec-
ton is but single instance and will
have no injurious effect, but you are
wrong.
1T you are anything but
numbskull there are others who are
always ready to follow your lead,
even though it result in the wreck
ing of your home town.
You can't keep your questionable
acts under cover. They are bound
to creep out, and once in the open
they breed like mosquitoes in
swamp.
And you can't kick your home
town without breaking your own
toe.
Pushing is a good thing-but
showing is not so good.
You can push your town along
by encouraging home industries.
You can push it along by produc-
ing to the lint and keeping the prof
its at home.
You can push it along by being
of it as well as in it, and remember
ing that every dollar you keep in
the town is just that much addition
al prosperity for the town and for
you.
The home merchant knows you,
is your friend, and wants to see you
succeed.
The mail order man doesn't know
you, don't care rap about you,
and never wants to see anything but
your money.
Push your town along, brother,
but don't shove it off the map.
The loyal citizen never breaks
his own toe.

WAR PRICES

New York papers direct attention
to the sensational advances that
have taken place in drugs and
chemicals owing to the war. The
upheaval in production has affected
every drug and medicinal agent
known to modern science, and ad-
vances ranging from 10 to more
than 1900 per cent. of normal
has resulted. AS result the
United States is left dependent upon
its own resources. Coal tar medi-
cines and medicines for which
America has depended upon Ger
many have advanced from 500 to
1880 per cent. New York news
paper writer's point out that the
demand for supplies for ammuni-
ton and hospital uses have cut the
stock to minimum and American
dealers are up in the air. This
country is at peace with the world,
but its people are compelled to pay
war prices just the same. There is
no way out of it..

LET THEM FEEL THE SUN

The suns rays make sunny chill
dren. 1t brightens their eyes and
broadens their smiles and puts the
JOY of life into their little souls. II
strengthens their minds and devel-
ops their physique and lays the
foundation for career of honor
and usefulness in the school of life
Let the kiddies bask in the sun
Let its rays descend upon them,
that in after years their souls may
radiate the joys of life to those who
follow in their footsteps.
For the sun is our most learned
doctor, our profoundest preacher
and the greatest builder and reiuvi-
nature of the human race.
And an hour in the sun is more
potent than an eternity in the shad-
ows.

LEND THE HELPING HAND

Every citizen of this community
should stand Loyalty by and lend a
helping hand to our public schools,
for education is one Of the strongest
bulwarks of our modern civilization.
Instead of criticising, and knock
ing, and disrupting this social and
commercial necessity, let us exert
our individual efforts to its advance
ment and expansion.
The public school is one Of our
greatest constructive agencies, and
without its aid and assistance in
creating and cultivating the intel
Iect of our young people this COM
munity would soon be sinking to
the ancient plane Of ignorance and
superstition.
There is nothing to be gained by
jeopardizing the work and influence
of our public school system, but
there is everything to gain by fos-
tering and encouraging and extend
ing it a helping hand.
Education is a vital necessity of
the day, and its effects are felt in
every walk of life. Without it a
young man enters upon the serious
problems of life handicapped in a
thousand ways
We of the community are person
ally interested in the welfare Of the
community, and there is no way in
which we can better serve our in
dividual and collective interests
than by standing Loyalty behind our
public schools.
They need our good will and en-
couragement-not only need them,
but should have them.

AVERAGE WEALTH

When Lincoln was elected presi-
dent of the United States we had
thirty-three millions of people in
America. Now we have a hundred
million. The average wealth per
capita in America today is twelve
hundred dollars, this for every man,
woman and child. In 1865 the per
capita wealth was Tess than $500.
The railroads have been our great
est factor in wealth-producing.
When you hear the ISLANDERS and L.
bels heaped by the muokrakers upon
the business fabric of America, and
especially upon railroadmen, just
take the thing sixty five ten and five
off. There have been selfish men
in the railroad business, but on the
other hand the majority Of railroad
men of the first class have come up
from the ranks, and have been pro-
NOTED only because they rendered
the public a service. They are
farmers boys, brought up to face
difficulty, trial, hardship, who know
the economics of life. They have
felt the pinch of poverty; they are
not easily disappointed; they ask
for little, and out of hfe's scrim-
mage they emerge victorious. Of
course they never get out of life
alive, but they have added to the
wealth of the world, and to this
wealth we are all heirs. In order
to get some Of this wealth that the
world owns, You have only to confer
on society a benefit. Get at it, do
something, be somebody, keep your
bazzaza closed a part of the time.
Keep your word, get eight hours
sleep, do not overeat, cut out the
booze, and don't monkey with the
pasteboards.

A THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince the Most SkepticaI
Mount Sterling Reader

The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made
their reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Mount Sterling residents should
be convinced.
The testimony is confrmed-the
proof complete. -..
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
S. T. Greene, 81 Holt avenue, Mt
Sterling, says: III had a great deal
of trouble with my kidneys. The
kidney secretions were too frequent
in passage, especially. at night, but
the flow was scanty. The secre-
tons also contained sediment. My
back ached and l had pains through
my sides. Seeing Doan's Kidney
Pills advertised, l got box at
Duerson's Drug Store and used them.
They brought the best Of results. +"
OVER EIGHT YEARS LATER,
Mr. Greene said: "Doan's Kidney
Pills always did me so much good
that am glad to speak in their
praise every time I can"

THE GREAT (9) STANLEY

The Frankfort Courier, in a
three column adulation and ador-
alton of Owsley Stanley says some
things that are perfectly ridiculous,
For instance:
'In the North Stanley would
have been one of three things: a
remarkable criminal lawyer, an
author of distinction, or United
States Senator"
Mr.. Stanley recently had an
opportunity to show whether he is
"great criminal lawyer" or not,
during his connection with the cases
against the Indiana election thieves,
but it is a fact that Mr.. Stanley
made a sorry spectacle in these
cases, and proved great disap-
pointment to his friends. The truth
is Mr.. Stanley was distinctly out
classed when he got into those
cases, and the people had an oppor-
tunity to find out what tremendous
fraud he is. The people of Indian
apolis had heard so much about the
"great Stanley" that they were
surprised beyond measure at the
poor showing he made. Midway
