WHY WEST LIKES WILSON

If we say roughly then that the
East rejected and the West accepted
the President, is it fair to assume
that this represents the division of
national opinion on the success of
Mr.. Wilson's domestic and foreign
policies? We think not. The West
did not go for Wilson because it was
convinced of the soundness of a neu-
trality benevolent to the Allies or be-
cause it found his methods of inter-
ference in Mexico essentially wise.
But the West did like the purpose
and temper of Mr.. Wilson's foreign
policies. 1t liked his patience, it shar-
ed his desire to make sacrifices for
peace, it approved the anti-imperial-
ist basis of his attitude towards Mexi-
co. The West surely, and large minor
tiles elsewhere stood by the President
because of the net results of his adj
ministration-peace at the move
ment, prosperity, a general sense of
good will to the rest of the world and
of some fellowship for the humble
within the nation.-New Republic.

ON THE FUNNY BONE

(FrOm Dallas, Tex, News
The henpecked husband is not al
ways to blame for his meekness.
Sometimes it is absolutely necessary.
AS we understand it. when wom-
an minds her own baby she's minding
her own business.
If Cinderella's slipper had been as
high-up as the modern girls shoe
probably the Prince who went around
looking for the owner would have
been called a rubberneck.
"Father, gimme good licking and
male me cry" was the astonishing
request little Jimmy made one day.
"What makes you want such an
absurd thing?" inquired father.
you'll hit me and I'll boiler with
all my might and mother will wipe
my face with her apron and give me
a penny and I'll buy candy" came
the answer. Il

NICHOLASVILLE COURT DAY.

At Nicholasville court day, the
Journal says: John w. Willis, of the
Mt. Lebanon section, who raised a
large quantity of Kentucky river
bottom grown hemp seed was pre-
pairing to ship his surplus seed to
Minnesota and California. There
were not many cattle on the market,
and but few were sold. G. B. Peel
sold eight head of yearlings to John
Steele at S21.5O head; also II head
of 700 pound cattle at 6 cents to
John Jewell. Tucker Cooley sold a
Jersey cow to 7. j. Curtis at $40
R. A. Dodd bought three mules from
John Simpson for 1925; two from
Dick Canter, $500; one from John
West, $40, and one from Ware
Bros, at sos.

the total number of care amount to
so for this season. The cars will aver
age 1,400 bushels which means the
total of 10000 bushels, and the buck
wheat shipped has therefore brought
in about $4,000 for this seasons
crop. When it is also known that this
crop can be sown after wheat is TAX
en- off, and that does not drain the
land of its fertility like many other
crops we predict that in the near flu
ture, it will rival the tobacco and
hemp crops as money producer for
Kentucky farmers. Two crops can be
grown from the same land in one
year, and it produces as many BUSH
els to the acre as winter wheat. If
the present prices are maintained we
expect many of our farmers to grow
this crop in the future.

OF the famous DR.. Pierce and his WE'LL
known medicines. Well, this prescrip-
tion is one that has been successfully
used for many years by the physicians
and specialists at DIR. Pierce's Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo,
N. Y, for kidney complaints, and dis
eases arising from disorders of the kid
neyS and bladder, such as backache,
weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, cOngeS-
ton of the kidneys, Inflammation of the
bladder, scalding urine, and urinary
troubles.
Up to this time, uAnuric" has not
been on sale to the public, but by the
persuasion of many patients, Doctor
Pierce has finally decided to put it in
to the drug stores of this country
within immediate reach of all sufferers,
or send 10 cents for large trial package
and free book.
Simply ask for Doctor Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of uAnuric is sure to be

The Somerset News thinks here is

More than the usual amount was
sown this year and the farmers, with
the aid of the County Agent, organ
lied a Farmers Club for the purpose
of getting better prices, and the price
secured has gradually advanced from
so cents to S1.25 per bushel. Most of
the buckwheat is sold at S1.00. The
price has advanced to $1.50. There

A little daughter was born to the

GERMANS REPULSE
FRENCH ATTEMPTS
ny ASSOCIATED FEESsl

BERLIN, July 6.--Attempts made by
the French Wednesday to advance in
the wood southwest of Fort Vaux were
repulsed, says the official statement is
sued Thursday by the war office. Sim
liar efforts made by the French to re-
capture the Damloupe hill battery, the
statement adds, were unsuccessful.
French troops Wednesday made an
attack along a narrow front in the
Aisne district to the south OF Vile
aux-Bois, northwest Of Rheims, the
official statement says. The attack
was not successful and cost the
French serious losses.
Between the Anere brook and the
river Somme and in the region south
OF the river, says the statement
lighting continues Minor progress
made by British troops near Thiep-
val, 1t is added, was balanced by
