operation. which he alluded to as the
most effective method with which the
grange could reach its goal, and with
cut it, he stated, there can be nothing
butN failure in the common cause.
HITS FOOD EMBARGO
He referred to The embargo on
foodstuffs as one of the most foolish
and short-sighted measures ever per-
petrated. He pointed out the farmer
as broad and fair-minded, and that
he would not object to the embargo if
II were placed on manufactured
goods. especially on munitions of war
The farmer will take his chance with
the rest, but points out that it is un
fair and un-American to deny the
farmer markets that the others en-

from abroad. "The bill is so unfair
there is no possibility of its passing.
The farmer demands complete en-

LOGICAL EXPLANATION
Referring to the high cost of liv-
ing he stated that it is but the logical
result of natural causes and present
day tendencies With the exception
of those articles affected by cold
storage, car shortage or crop failures,
the increased cost of foodstuffs is no
greater, in fact, not as great an in
crease as can be noted in manufac-
tured articles. The public seems to
forget that the shortening of hours
of labor. the demand for larger mar
gins of profit can have but one result,
that of diverting capital and labor
from the farm
COMPLEXION CHANGES
The state department in educating
boys and girls for agricultural affairs
was gone into at some length and
carefully explained as regards the re-
suits arising from the efforts. The
political proposition, which was re-
felred to as changing of political
complexion every two years was
brought out in a manner which indi-
Gated the farmer did not seek public

BOARDS NEED FARMERS
The state department of agricul-
ture was referred to briefly and yet
definitely, in which the talk was along
the lines of how much good the de-
partment had done the farmer, and
Of the further good that could he
done If certain essential policies were
carried ont. He also stated there
should be farmer representation on
all boards and commissions which
had to do with rural matters.

The first symptom of kidney trou-
BILE may be only slight pain in the
back, feeling of stiffness or soreness
in the loins, or some annoying irregu-
larity of the urinary passages. Urine
is often dscolored and perhaps sedi-
ment gathers upon standing. Next
may come a dull, throbbing bachache,
sharp, knife-like pains, headaches, dir
illness and in many cases, lameness
when arising in the morning. No one
can afford to delay until these trou-
bles become serious. Begin using
Doans Kidney Pills, the tried and
tested kidney remedy that has won the
praise of thousands. Maysville read
ers should find convincing proof OF

WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN
PUT RIGHTEOUSNESS
BEFORE PEACE.


The supporters Of Mr.. Wilson
say that the American people
should vote for him because he
has kept us out Of war. II is
worth while to remember that
this Is claim that cannot be ad-
vanced either on behalf of Wash
lngton or OF Lincoln. Neither
Washington nor Lincoln kept us
out Of war. Americans, and the
people of the world at large, now
reverence the memories of these
two men, because, and only be-
cause, they put righteousness be-
fore peace. They abhOrred war.
They shunned unjust or wanton
or reckless war. But they pos
sessed that stern valor of patrio-
tism which babe them put duty
first; not safety first; which
babe them accept war rather
than an unrighlcous and disas-
trous peace. There were peace
at-any-price men in the days of
Washington. They were the
Tories. There were peace-at-
any-price men in the days of
Lincoln. They were the Copper
heads. The men who now with
tlmid hearts and quavering
voices praise Mr.. Wilson for
having kept us out of war, are
the spirltns! heirs of the Tories
Of 17Tt, and the Copperheads of
1864. The men who followed
Washington at Trenton and
Yorktown. and who suffered
with him through the winter at
Valley Forge; and the men who
wore the Blue under Grant, and
the Gray under Lee; were men
of valOr, who sacrificed every
thing to serve the right as It
was given them to see the right.
They spurned with contempt
uous Indignation the cOuDsels
of the feeble and cowardly folk
who in their day spoke for
peace-at-any-prlce. - From the
Speech Of Colonel Roosevelt at
Battle Creek, Michigan, In Be
half Of Mr.. Hughes.

Another Enn Problem.

Two muCh-bedeCked pOrters were
given leave to go to the races. They
were standing at Fourth and Oak,
waiting for the car, when a casual
glance toward the church caused one
of the colored worthy's thoughts to
take peculiar trend. Look here,
JIM" said one of them, there has
been a question in my mind for long
time and | can't figure it out. lahka
chicken, you lahks chicken, all our
ancestors lahked chicken, but where
did dat chicken come from? Dere
had to be an aig befo' dey could be a
chicken, an dey had to be a chicken
to lay dat aig. If dere wasn't no
chicken on earth how did dat aig get
here, an if dere wasn't no aig on earth
how did dat chicken get here?"
James maintained that the chicken
was first and poured forth arguments
to that end His friend became an
gored, a mixup followed and an Off
Ger became interested in the discus
sion. He heard both sides, gave nei-
Their a verdict, but decided to let the
Judge have a chance to hear such a
peculiar argument. And as they were
being escorted to the Jail one of the
colored men remarked:
Jim, | believes dat fust chicken
was de work of de devil. Louisville

Sound of ShrapneI.

Have you ever heard shrapnel, by
any cuance? No? Well, it sounds as
much as anything else like a winter
gale bowling through the branches of
a pine tree. 1t is a moan, a groan. a
shrek and wall rolled into one, and
when the explosion comes it sounds
as though someone had touched of
a stick of dynamite under a grand pi.
ano. And it is not PARTICULARLY cheer,
ing to know that the ones you hear
do not harm you, and that 1t is the
one you do not have time to hear that
sends you to the cemetery.-Scribner's

Saved His Life.

It is probable that no class of men
is lampooned more unjustly than doc
tors. Many Of the stories at their ex
pense, however, are both amusing and
good-natured. A recent addition to
the list is the tale told by Tit-Bits
about the Chinaman who was asked II
there were good doctors in China.
Good Doctors" he exclaimed.
China have best doctors in world.
Hang Chang one good doctor; he
great; he saved my life"
You don't say SOL How was that"

Laws AGAINST Kissinu.

On July Is, 1889, an act was passed
forbidding kissing owing to the pes
thence raging over England and
France. That is the only enactment
passed againt kissing in England; but
in several countries there are strin.
gent regulations against kissing in
public. The Bavarian state railways
forbid kissing on their railway system,
and the New York Central Railway
company now build in connection with
every new station kissing gallery,
or elevated platform, where passen-
gers are requested to take leave of
their friends, and kiss to the limit OF
their emotion. One of the French
railway companies some years ago
promulgated a bylaw by which kiss
ing was added to the list of things
banned, but the physicians of Mil
waukee about the same time went a
step farther and prepared a bill for
the absolute suppression of kissing on
the ground of the practice being a
menace to health.
