Vermilion Parish
to Have a Fair
BY T. II. CASANOVA

After several meetings of busl-
ness and farmers it was decided
unanimously that we could have
fair in this parish from Oct. to
Oct. 8 for the purpose OF bringing
the farmers and business men Ill
closer cooperative relation and to
foster the better production OF
crops and livestock generally
throughout the parish. With our
present facilities and financial
status the staging of a creditable
exhibit is not going to be all easy
proposition, but the time has come
when it is very necessary that we
arouse ourselves if we are expect
ing to stand abreast with the more
progressive parishes of the state III
Agricultural work. It is a sad
fact that though we have some OF
the highest priced. And most
fertile lands in the state, yet our
crop yields and the condition and
our live stock from the stand point
of profitable breeding is still very
crude. We cannot become great
farming section until the farmers
among themselves and the bust
ness in the towns begin to work
together for the benefit of the par
ish and community laying aside
sel6shness and take up a little
more pnblic spiritedness.
You can help i'll many ways to
make this fair a success in large
measure. By cultivating that corn
a little better to produce some bet
ter ears to make a good ten ear
exhibit for that occasion, good
mule colt, horse, COW or any other
farm animal will make good show
with just few minutes attention
each day. Garden field products.
fruit poultry, each will have
place at the fair and you are eX-
peCted to get i'll on an exhibit, not
solely for the benefit of your self,
but for your neighbor and the COM
n1unity around.
We will expect each ward to CO.
operate the farmers and business
men to fix up a booth of the pro-
ducts raised by the farmers in that
ward, including live stock. We
hope to have prizes for the best
exhibit gotten up by a ward at the
parish fair. There will be in the
ward exhibit a place set aside for
the Ladies exhibits such as sewing
preserving, cooking, drawing. Now
is the time to get ready for this
exhibit in the fall by preparing
something just little better than
you expected t" do at first so as to
be sure of excelling in this contest.

4 Card to Owners
Of Rural Telephone Lines

We anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with kept in such
condition TO furnish efficient service Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep,
we want TO cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauIing occa-
sionaily if the best service is to be obtained We
recommend that every line connected with us be
oyerauled at least year, and that at least one
experienced telephone man assist in this work The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
small, and this cost will be than offset by the
improved service.

ton experiencing trouble with their service, we
will appreciate their talking the over with our
Manager writing us fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your lire.

Returns Come In Slow.

LINCOLN, Neb., April 19.--SIow-
ness of returns, which will take sew
eral days before coming in from the
outlying districts, make uncertain the
results in the Nebraska primaries
held yesterday.
Stories to the effect that Henry
Ford is indicated as high man in the
republican presidential preference
vote are without any basis in fact,
for so far no attempt is being made
to tabulate the presidential prefer
ence returns, the interest centering
on the United States senatorship and
governorship.
Early fluctuations indicate that Sen
ator Gilbert NJ Hitchcock, running
strong, with Keith Neville, the oppo-
nent of c. w. Bryan for the demo-
cratic gubernatorial nomination run
ming strong, though the organs say
that the early indications are expect
ed to favor their opponents, being
from the towns and cities, while their
greatest strength will come from the
country districts.

When you awake in the morning feel.
ing tired out, feeling worse in fact than
when you wentto bed, you are confront
ed with one of the characteristic symp-
toms of neurasthenia. 1t is due to tho
rundown condition of the nerves that
rest does not bring renewed strength
and sleep refresh thetired brain. Over
work and worry are the most frequent
causes of this condition. Neurasthenla
is the name given to this common form
of nervous debility in which the power
to recuperate is gone.
The blood can be built up 80 that it
will increase the supply of needed ele-
ments to the wasted nerves and this is
the only way that the nerves can DO
reached. DR.. Williams Pink Pills are
q tonic that especially builds up the
nerves because they supply to the blood
the elements that the nerves need.
Many nervous disorders, sometimes
chronic ones, have yielded to this tonic
treatment with DR.. Williams nkPills
when other methods failed to give re-
lief. They are certainly worth atrial.

SHE WILL WRITE A BOOK

When through the press reports
the news of the divorce of Mr.. and
Mrs. Richard Washburn Child was
published, 1t came as great sur
prise to their friends here. Mr.. and
Mrs. Child lived here about year,
having their residence in the Pond
apartments. Both were disposed to
make friends and were very cordial
to the local people. Mr. Child was
much interested in geology and in
some of the peculiar formations in
this section and often took long
tramps with Keokuk men and WON
en-, who found him a delightful com
panion.
Mrs. Child was particularly respon.
sive to any kindness shown her and
was very sure to return all visits
made to her by the Keokuk women.
She was very much interested in the
organization of the Visiting Nurse as
ISOLATION and was a member of the
board of directors. She is a woman
of strong personality and was never
afraid to express her mind.
One day she was sitting in her car

corner and the little boy couldn't re-
sist letting some of the bills sail
down the street. He let go of one
and it sailed like kite, and then
another and another. So engrossed
was he in the sport that he didn't
see woman get out of a car and
come toward him, until he heard her
say, Here you boy, stop that; don't
you know better than to litter up the
street that way?" Like young Amer
lea he came back at her, "And who
are you?" She said, I'm the mayor
of Keokuk and you quit it," and sure
enough he did.
Kindness to Horses.
Another time she stopped man on
a load Of stone, who had driven his
horses up the Fourth street hill, with
their heads refined up, and stood
there until he got off the wagon and
unchecked the horses heads.
A milk man who delivered milk to
the many families in the Alpha and
the Pond apartments, let the team
and wagon stand on Fourth street
sometimes for fifteen or twenty min
utes while he. climbed the long
flights of stairs at the rear Of the
Vic dWlully Soio ddy
she saw the horses stand before her
windows unblanketed. When the
man returned to the wagon she was
there. She asked him why he didn't
put blankets on the horses on cold
days. He said he couldn't be both
cred taking off and putting on bian-
kets She said, These horses stand
here fifteen OF twenty minutes every
day in the cold and l won't be a
party to it, and unless you put blan-
kets on them l don't want you to
take the time to leave milk at my
door"
The next day when he came he
had blankets for the horses.
