FRENCH TO RESUME RACING
Chief Courses Near Paris, AuteuI and
Longchamps, to Be Cleared at
Once-Plenty Of Horses.

French horsemen plan to resume
racing at an early date despite the
war. The chief race courses in the
heighborhood of Paris, Auteuil and
Longchamps, have been in the hands
of the military since the war began,
but they are now to be cleared and
handed over to the racing authorities
without further delay. The sport is en-
couraged by the French government
with view to the improvement of the
poses. Although many studs were dis
persed at the beginning of the war and
many valuable thoroughbreds seized
by both sets of belligerents, there are

A "EIylnau MaIady.

The doctors are puzzled concerning
a strange malady that has broken out
at more than one aeroplane works and
has in one case resulted fatally. The
malady i'll some respects resembles
yellow jaundice, and it is, rightly or
wrongly, attributed to contact with an
aeroplane dope" or to inhaling its
odor.
Further particulars need not at the
moment be indicated, but it has been
suggested that the source of the
trouble may be amyl acetate, which is
used as :'dope" solvent. Some mys-
terry attaches to the affair, the precise
nature of the malady not having yet
been determined, in spite of close ex-
animation and analysis; and, of course.
until success is attained in this direc-
ton no satisfactory precautions or
remedy can be devised.

perfectly harmless, and in a few hours
all this constipation poison, sour bile
and fermenting waste will gently
move out of the bowels, and you have
well. playful child again. A thor

Farmers Institute Exhibition
October q.

Plans for holding an exhibition Of
farm products, animals and poultry
were furthered on last Saturday when
committee appointed for that purpose
by the Farmers Institute of this coun-
ty met at the court house. The COM
mittee is composed of F. P. Kyle, w.
N. McFadden, W. S. Latta, A. H.
Harvey and ]. W. Moffatt. At their
meeting on Saturday it was definitely
decided to hold the exhibition and an
invitation was extended to the ladies of
the Home Makers club to join in the
affair and hold and exhibit on the same
day. This invitation was accepted and
the joint exhibition will be held in this
city on October q.
The following program has been az
ranged and additions will be made to it
before the date named.
Winner of best ten ears of corn to
tell how he selected ii.
Winter clovers, C. B. Piper.
How he grows and keeps Irish pota-
toes, W. S. Latta.
Winner Of first prize pig to tell how
he fed and cared for it.
w. N. McFaddea to tell no W herais-
ed cattle which be sold for SIC last
year.
Home gardner, W. 7. Loggins.
The committee will meet again next
Saturday to make further plans as to
prizes etc. and on Saturday October Q
the COMMITTEES, will meet and they in
vite any body in the county interested
in the movement to meet with them.
The Falcon can not express in too
strong words its endorsement of this
step on the part of the Farmers In
stitute and we promise every aid in our
power to further the interests of the
exhibition. We believe that it means
a great deal to the farming interests Of
the county and to Somerville as the
county seat and natural center Of many
of the activities of the county. Nearly
every county in this section of the
state now has each year some kind of
an exhibit Of the products of the farms.
Fsyette has Jagged somewhat, alto no
county in the country has better lands
or lands that respond more quickly 20
intelligent farming than do ours. To
bring into friendly competition once
each year the productsof these lands
will go far toward improving the pro-
ducts, stimulating each other to improve
the crop on which our neighbor excells.
The exhibition should have the active
support Of every farmer and business
man in the county.
