Fifty carloads of Strawberries were
shipped to Eastern markets Monday
night and Tuesday morning by Man
ager Hubert ID. Graham, of the War
rem County Strawberry Growers As
ISOLATION, and similar lot was ship
ped Tuesday night. 1t was decided
to dispense with the review work of
the City Public Schools during the
remainder of the week at a meeting
Monday night in order that the pu-
pills can hefp the growers gather
their strawberry crops. DR.. H. H.
Cherry, president of the Western
Kentucky State Normal School. has
told the students of this institution
who do not have any classes to go
and pick berries. One hundred city
hands who have been at work on
the new sedimentation basin have
been given a few days by City En-
gineer wilkins to pick berries. Pick
ers are badly needed and the gen.
eral public have taken interest in
the work in order to help the grow
ers, One negro man in j. b. Sump-
ter's strawberry fields on Monday
picked eighty gallons, which netted
him $3.50, and one in Clagget &
Covington's fields gathered seventy
five gallons, which made him S5.25.

night. when he was awakened by
considerable noise in the barn. Hur-
riedly donning his clothing, he rush
ed down to investigate and was
greeted with a new colt. He had
hardly finished looking it over when
lowing in the stables began, and
going there, he was astonished to
find little calf had arrived. At the
woodshed he found a whole nest Of
little bird pups; and on returning to
his room was astonished to find a
bouncing baby boy who had arrived

than Mount Everest of the Himala-
vas is high. However, one gains an
idea of the rarity of such abyssmal
regions from the fact that of the o.
$50 soundings that have been made
and reported in water over 1000
fathoms in depth, only II were
greater than 1000 and only three

is only 400 feet more than six miles.

Bilious Attacks.

When you have a bilious attack
your liver fails to perform its func-
tions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your stol1-
ach instead of digesting. This in
flames the stomach and causes nau-
sea, vomiting and a terrible head
ache. Take Chamberlain's Tablets.
They will tone up your liver. clean
out your stomach and you will soon
be as well as ever. They only cost
n quarter. Obtainable everywhere.

A WORD PICTURE FROM
LINCOLN APPLIES NOW

This is an appropriate time to re-
call a good Lincoln story. Some
Western men, probably politicians,
called on Lincoln during the dark
hours of the Civil War and criticised
his policies. In reply Lincoln said:
Gentlemen, l want you to sup
pose case for a moment. Suppose
that all the property you were worth
was in gold and you had put it in
the hands of Blondin. the famous
rope walker, for him to carry across
the Niagara Falls on a tight-rope.
Would you shake the rope while he
was passing over it, or keep shout
ing to him, 'Blondin, stoop a little
more!' Go a little faster?' No.
am sure you would not. You would
hold your breath as well as your
tongue and keep your hands off I'M
til he was safely over. Now, the
Government is in the same situation.
1t is carrying an immense weight
across a stormy ocean. Untold treas
ures are in its hands. 1t is doing
the best it can. Don't badger it.
Just keep still and it will get you
over"
This story is so applicable to the
present situation that no comment is
necessary. Wise and patriotic cit
liens do not shake the rope over
which the President of the United
States is walking with the precious
treasure committed to his keeping.

GREAT OCEAN DEPTHS
ARE CLOSE TO THE SHORE

The deepest regions of the ocean
are commonly close to the shore and
are believed to have been caused BY
the crumpling inward of the earth's
crust due to the pressure of the near
land, Such is the "Tuscarora Deep
a long narrow trough which extends
northward from Japan along the
Coast of Asia; its bottom being
more than 27.600 feet below the
surface of the sea and 12,6o0 feet
below the general level of the
oceans floor. An even more pro-
found abyss is the Aldrich Deer
close to the Tongan and kermadec
Islands, which sinks to a depth OF
30,930 feet. The greatest yet found
however. is the Swire Deep OFF Min
danao OF the Philippines. this being

@ POLITICAL POINTERS. .
@ O O O . @ O o @ Q O Q Q @ O Q

The Prohibition party celebrates
its fortieth anniversary this year,
having been formed in 1876 as the
successor of the Temperance party.
In the early days of our national
policies there were no party plat
forms. The political battles were
conducted in the newspapers and
from the stump.
In the platform utterances in the
national conventions of 1S4S all po-
litical parties heartily approved of
the conduct of the war with Mexico.
The first anti-liquor party in ma
tional politics was the Temperance
party, formed in 1872 by a combina-
ton of State and local option tenn
perance organizations.
The first prohibition candidate for
President of the United States was
James Black of Pennsylvania, who
was nominated by the Temperance
party in 1872.
Before the Revolution the two
political parties in America were the
Wings and Tories. The latter ia
vored royalty and the former advo-
Gated independence.
1t is just forty years since the
Greenback party nominated its first
Presidential candidate-Peter Coop
er, the eminent New York merchant
and philanthropist.
The so-called Democratic-Repu
lican party existed from 1898 to
1928. During this period it elected
three Presidents-Jefferson, Madi-
son and Monroe-for two terms
each.
The Federal party, which flour
ished from the esta blishment of the
Government in 1887 until 1916.
elected two misunderstanding
ton for two terms, and Adams for
one term.
The first peace party" in the
United States was formed to oppose
the war of 1912 by a combination of
Federalists and Democratic-Repub-
licans, mostly in New England.
Ballots were cast for twelve can
didates, representing seven States,
in the election that resulted in the
choice of George Washington as first
President of the United States.
The first national convention for
the nomination of candidates for the
Presidency and Vice Presidency was
that of the anti-Masonic party, which
met in Philadelphia in 1880.
The so-called Coalition party was
formed in 1926 by a union of the
supporters of Clay with those of
John Q. Adams in the House, which
resulted in the election of Adams to
the Presidency.
Since the Constitutional Convention
of 1889 there have been five great
political parties-the Federalists, the
Observation-Disclosures, the National
Republican or Wing. the Republican
and the Democratic.
The first political organization in
the United States to assume the
name of Peoples party was formed
in 1924 as an offshoot of the Demo-
cratic-Republicans in New York. The
party favored the choosing of cleo
tors by the people instead of State
legislatures.
The American, or Know-Nothing
party, was organized in the early
sos by those opposed to foreign i'm
migration and to ofice-holding by
the foreign-born. In 1856 the party
nominated for President, Willard
Fillmore of New York, and for Vice
President, Andrew Jackson Donel-
son, Of Tennessee.

Are you bright and happy in the

Catarrh is the great American all
ment. Its effects are far more gen.
eral than usually are understood.
Catarrh of the stomach and kid
neys is most frequent cause OF
chronic dyspepsia and Brights dis
ease. Catarrhal conditions in the
nose and throat in many cases, leads
to deafness.
Even the lungs are affected be-
cause catarrhal Inflammation finds
an open way to the lung substances
through the bronchial tubes.
If you are not bright. cheerful
and refreshed in the mornings, ca
tarrh probably is the cause.
The mental and physical condi-
ton of catarrh sufferers is pitiable
but it is surprising how many peo-
pie suffer from catarrh when they
fully believe something else is the
cause.
Catarrh can be easily detected.
Some of its commonest symptoms
are: Dull, throbbing headaches, wa
terry eyes, constant shifting, drop
ping of mucous into the throat at
night and awakening choked and
half nauseated, sleeplessness, dizzi-
ness, fullhead, stopped up nasal pas
sages, dryness of the membranes.
pains in the stomach, side and kid

breath and coated tongue.

part in their firemen's parade on Sat-

arrive the early part Of September.
The following companies we're in line:

Owing to a heavy downpour of rain
Just before the parade formed the
committee decided TO form at one end
of the main street and march to the
other, countermarch TO the Carniv al
Grounds. Considering that the main
street of the town is about a mile and
a half in length, the hundreds of spec
tators had a good opportunity to view
the fine procession. The Smyrna boys
received their share Of applause in
