Dear Mrs Thomas: 1t has been a
long time since I knocked at your door
i'm fact, not since you embarked upon
the sea of matrimony. I trust, how
ever. IL is not too late to congratulate
the Farmer on winning you.
Each week. only when I happen to
miss the paper, 1 read your message
and the other letters. No. one has had
a better opportunity than 1 to know
how much your department is appre-
ciated by the rural people. People in
the country read more than those In
cities. for they are not in such mad
rush all the time, and they have OPP
portunity TO sit quietly by the fireside
and enjoy peaceful evenings Your de-
partment is particularly enjoyed when
some interesting discussion is on. 1t
is well, too, for how can we ever broad
en- out and establish our own views
until we hear the other side?
One of your members not long since
was saying that now, since we have
had such restrictive whiskey laws, 1t is
time something was being done about
tobacco. Some old lady, upon reading
her letter, remarked that the men are
so prone to have some bad habit that
il is better to let them have tobacco
for an outlet, to keep them from think
ing they ought to drink whiskey or be
in some drug habit.
Tobacco is indeed a detriment to the
constitution of the user himself, and

bad effect upon the beauty of his or

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA, :
GAS OR INDIGESTION
"Pape'S DiapepSin" Settles
Sour, Upset StOmaChS in
Five Minutes

Time it! Pape's Diapepsin will d.
gest anything you eat and overcome a
sour, gassy or out-of-order stomach
surely within five minutes.
If your meals don't fit comfortably,
or what won eat lies like a lump of
lead in your stomach, or if you have
heartburn, that is a sign of indiges-
ton.
Get from your pharmacist a fifty
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and take
a dose just as soon as you can. There
will be no sour risings, no belching of
undigested food mixed with acid, no
stomach gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach, nausea,
facilitating headaches, dizziness or. in
testinal gripping. This will all go, and,
besides, there will be no sour food left
over in the stomach to poison your
breath with nauseous odors.
Pape's diappesin is a certain cure for
out-of-order stomachs, because il takes
hold of your food and digests it just
the same as if your stomach wasn't
there.
Relief in five minutes from all stom-
ach misery is waiting for you at any
drug store.
These large ffty-cent cases contain
enough "Papes Diapepsin" to keep the
entire family free from stomach disor-
ders and Indigestion for many months.

Let-me ask The Semi-Weekly Journal
one more thing: The peoples letters
would be enjoyed more if they were not
printed in such fine type. 1t is hard to
read.
When people are about middle aged
they are frequently not reconciled to
their lot, and they keep trying to read
without glasses. They keep pushing
the matter out farther and farther
from their eyes until their arms are
hardly long enough to hold It at the
right focus. The truth is they need
glasses, and are not willing to admit it
even to themselves.
wish the letters in our department
could be printed in larger type.

As | See the Cotton
Situation

If the war could stop, cotton would
go to Is or 20 cents. If the war does
not stop, and the textile manufacturers
conclude to put a lid on and refuse to
buy, then the farmers ought to plant
but little cotton, and, If it is possible,
hold on to what they have not sold up
to date.
The crop of 1915 is the smallest we
have had in a number of years, includ-
ing linters, and the small crop of 1912
brought IA cents, in round numbers.
Cotton should sell easily at the same
price now, If the spectators were not
in collision with cotton factories to
hold the price down. If / had money
and wished to make a fortune without
hard labor, I'd buy a thousand bales of
cotton and hire a house to keep it dry
until selling time-for that time will
come, sooner or later.
But the average farmer must sell his
cotton as soon as it is ready for mar
ket, and he is as helpless with the spec
ulators and the thing they call Liver
pool market as a week-old infant.
1t makes me so tired to see these
helpless farmers take any old price
that is set up for them on what Is
called Liverpool market and New York
quotations that 1 have almost despaired
of the future of my country.
Years ago 1 listened to a magnificent
Fourth of July speech delivered in
Cassville by Rev. Charles Wallace
Howard, giving counsel to farmers. He
compared these helpless ones to great
big elephant, as seen in the circus. He
said the great big elephant was led
around by a dapper little fellow with a
rope in one hand and a stick in the
other; but he could make the giant
beast lie down, kneel down, squirt
water and even try to dance, and the
elephant did it, when he could take
his snout and wind it around the fell
low and fling him outside the enclosure.
Do you see the point, farmers? Are
you led about with a rope and stick!

Meath the stars shining bright,
The new fallen snow
Making brilliant the night;
But he came when the rain
Was flooding the street.
And darkness enshrouded
Earth like a black sheet.

To the jingling of bells,
With shouts to his reindeer,
AS one poet tells;
But he came silently
AS falls the soft snow
Not a soul heard his coming,
And none heard him go.
thought he would come
Down the sitting room flue,
For that is so big he
Could easily slip through;
But a fire burned there
Christmas eve the whole night,
So he came through the stovepipe
And got here all right
Yes, he got here all right,
So who would complain
If he came in the starlight
Or came in the rain?
And what If his bells made
No music that night,
So he went everywhere.
And got there all right?

FUNNY LAWS AND STRANGE ONES.

In divorce case in North Carolina
lately the divorce was granted TO tire

of minor children. There was young
daughter barely twenty-one. The faith

to his wife and neglect of his children,
but he had cheek enough to rise IN
court and refuse to pay alimony 10 the
support of the grown daughter. he
said she must get out and WORK her
own support. The mother is in poor
health. has minor children to raise and
she asked if she could not employ her
own child to help her.
The father objected and the court
sustained him. The judge said: Thls
Young woman should be at work. Inc
father is right, the law does not re-
ouire him to support her" Turning TO
the daughter he said: you Will nave
to leave when your father leaves.
The mother said she was, Obliged to
have help, and her daughter would serve

AMERICANS WANT RETAIN AFTER

NORFOLK, Va, Dec. IS. - Predict ing that the American manufacturer would be able to compete on equal terms with European manufacturers in the foreign field after the war. An drew J. Peters, assistant secretary of the treasury, spoke before the South ern Commercial Congress. Our for eign trade has reached heights hither- to nndreamed of" he said. "To hold it is the permanent idea of the hour. "
 The cost Of production in Europe by reason of war taxes would be much higher than in the past, he said, off setting the advantages in the nature of commercial agreements, gigantic combinations and governmental assist ance, which European manufacturers would have
 Mir. Peters declared the American manufacturer would be further encour- aged to make a bold fight against his competitors by the attitude of the United States government. which was eager to cooperate with him in the expansion of his foreign trade by pro viding the necessary legislative ma chinery to enable him to compete on equal terms.

MORE PEP EXPENDITURES
 IF PUBLIC

NEW YORK, Dec. IS. - People do not get their moneys worth out of the three billion dollars annually expen- ded for public purposes, declared Pro lessor Thomas Sewal Adams, Of Yale University, before the Association of Life Insurance Presidents, in advo- eating the creation of standard units of governmental performance by which to measure the quality and quantity of the output in each department of public work.
 Public expenditures seem to thrive on opposition" said Professor Adams, in the very face of the unceasing opposition of the taxpayer.
 The fundamental trouble is that the public has no means of accurately ascertaining whether a particular ac- tivity of government is productive or unproductive. efficient of inefficient. We must. somehow. devise standard units of governmental performance by which to measure the quality and the quantity of the output in each depart ment of public work. In many depart ments of government we could direct ly measure the output with as much accuracy as most factories measure departmental productivity.
 And almost always we have the deadly parallel. the comparison with the activities and costs of similar de partments in other places. In short. the solution of our problem lies in the permanent maintenance of practical efficiency commissions. Their first function should be to uphold the hands of the public servant who Is doing his work well. There should be both pub. lie and private efficiency commissions We have tried them tentatively in the past, They have been guilty of some bonehead plays. But that merely means that they are just learning the game. We must rise above our mis- takes - put more heart, more pep. more time, more money in this un- avoidable undertaking which in the end will pay big dividends"
