Most towns, like Topsy, just grow.
It might be equally as true--or trite-
to say that they just happened.
Most towns-and town officials
look at their municipalities in the eyes
Of the present. What will have to be
done in growing town 20 or Is years
hence doesn't seem to count.
Chicago is pretty large place to
cite as an example; but its problems
are similar to those of small cities
and towns, only more magnified and
more expensive. Hence the words Of
a Chicago editor will find an echo
elsewhere.
eff we had had a plan commission
20 years ago we should not be spend
ing money and energy on complicated
terminal problems, nor hewailing the
absence of streets leading out of the
loop district. We should not have a
postoffice which is far too small to
handle our mail. We should not be
tearing down huge new buildings to
make way for railroad stations. So
called expensive projects will save
the next generation of Chicagoans
from the expense of tearing down
what we are building up"
Scarcely town improvement thai
is not called unnecessary, expensive
and extravagant" Yet an improve
ment that is essential to the growth
of the town must be realized some
time, and usually at much greater
cost.
A business man must plan; town
should do so also.

SAYS Well Folks
Don't Have Blues
This Interesting Article Explains
Causes and Tells How to Prevent
Them.

Doubtless there are days when you
feel blue and Respondent; you are
lacking in energy, feel cross, and
everything seems to go wrong. When
You wake in the morning you hate to
get up, as you feel tired, and would
like to lie in bed while longer. You
are not sick enough to need a doctor,
but you realize very forcibly that you
are not yourself The above symp-
toms invariably indicate that your
liver is not in a healthy condition and
should have your immediate attention.
The most modern medicine fer I'M
healthy livers or biliousness is Lemo-
lac, as it is not only pleasant acting
but very pleasant to take. Avoid Gallo
mel as it gripes, sickens and is liable
to salivate. Take dose of Lemolac
tonight and wake up feeling fine Peo-
pie who take Lemolac occasionally,
rarely ever feel blue or Respondent,
and seldom need the aid Of physician
as most Of our ailments are caused
from an inactive liver. Lemolac is
sold by Central Pharmacy, Pine Bluff,
Ark, and ali druggists under posi-
tive guarantee to give good satisfac-
ton, SO you cannot lose by irving 1t
a trial.

AUSTRIA WILLING
u. S. AID POLES

Washington, July 2S.-Informal as
surances that Hungary is dis
posed to respond favorably to Presi-
dent Wilson's appeal for permission
for shipment of American relief sup
plies to Poles in territory held by
Austrian forces have been given per-
sonally by Foreign Minister Burian TO
Ambassador Penfield
The state department also received
today from Ambassador Page the
British foreign office statement of
Great Britain's willingness to permit
importation of foodstuffs into Poland
to be administered by a commission
appointed by President Wilson, pro-
vided the German and Austrian oc-
cupying armies would not seize or re-
move products Of the occupied terri
tory. The condition it is feared may
block the negotiations.
Mr.. Penfield reported today that he
delivered personally to Count Won Blu
rian on July rs President Wilson's
plea in behalf of ADMINISTRATION
Poles, and the foreign minister prom
ised ito deliver the presidents mes
sage Immediately to Emperor Francis
Joseph.
The minister's unofficial opinion
was that the request of the president
would be met by Austria and Ger
many. Ambassador Penfield was
told by the foreign minister that Aus
tria was administering affairs in one
third of Russian Poland, and that
famine conditions there have been
greatly ameliorated in recent months
by good crops and management.
State department officials regard
the reception of the presidents letter
at the Austrian foreign office as a
hopeful sign of concessions which will
eventually permit American relief
measures for the starving Poles.
The British proposal will be refer
red at once to Germany and Austria
Hungary to learn whether it is accept
able.

SIGNS OF DEMOCRATIC VICTORY

SIGNS OF DEMOCKAIIC VlCIOKf.
Glorious news for every sterling
Democrat who wishes to see that great
Democrat, Woodrow Wilson, swept
back in to the white house for four
more years. He is going to be swept
back on the biggest tidal wave ever
recorded.
The state Of Main elects governor,
two senators, and four congressman
on September II. The national Demo-
cratic committee is having a canvass
made to ascertain the "trend of the
sentiment" up there. The first two
counties canvassed, cast 1,700 votes
for Wilson and a combined vote of 81
800 for Roosevelt and Taft in 1912.
The canvassers report that the voters
in those counties are going to give
3,746 votes to Wilson and 2,251 votes
to Hughes. A sweeping change in
deed. These are the first straws but
they show the most wonderful change
in the voters, because in 1912 Wilson
was UNKNOWN" comparatively, but
they know his record now, and want
more of it.

PRESS COMMENT.
NOISE.

Some weeks ago the city authorities
sought by advertisements and signs to
establish "quiet zones" in the neigh
borhoods of our hospitals. How I'M
successful they were is apparent TO
any one who cares to watch the traffic
in front of these institutions. And
vet noise is one of the foes of good
health and peaceful life. Experts on
city building and expanding have con-
sidered this fact from every stand
point, and some of them have reached
the conclusion that the chief remedy
lies in good streets and pavements.
Necessarily much can be accomplished
in this way, but what about the loud
horns, the "cutouts," the loose wagon
wheels, the speeding motorcycles and
the other things that make the day
wearisome and the night tossing IN
somnia? People who work under i
strong mental strain are entitled TIC
some protection from the hucksters
the haulers and the joyriders who &c
shrieking and iolting and Earring and
honking through the streets. The
nervous man pays taxes for the pro.
lection of his nerves as well as fol
anything else.
| If relief under present conditions in
an impossibility, them the field lies
fallow toNthe hand of the inventor who
will fashion what, for a better word
we may call noise-killers. A device
that would deaden the grind Of street

sink and then rise and the oil will
spread until the whole surface of the
water can be covered without waste.
In choosing the grade of oil to be
used two factors must be considered;
it should spread rapidly and should
not evaporate too quickly. Heavier
grades of oil will cling together in
spots and the coating will be neces-
sarily thick It has been found that
one ounce of kerosene is sufficient to
cover fifteen square feet of surface,
and in the absence of wind, such film
will remain present for ten days. Even
after the iridescent scum apparently
disappears there is still an odor of
kerosene about the water. A mixture
of crude oil and kerosene has been
found to be effective in killing mos
quito larvae. 1t has one advantage
over pure kerosene in that it does not
evaporate SO quickly.
Special attention should be paid to
little pockets Of water that form
around the edges of ponds, for it is in
such places where the water is not
disturbed by wind or otherwise that
the larvae breed in greatest numbers.
Larvae do not breed in open stretches
of water where the surface is rippled
by the wind.
In the fight against the mosquito in
Panama, the government experts
found that larvicide composed of
carbolic acid, rosin and caustic soda
was very effective and thousands of
gallons of it were used.

CHEAP MOSQUITO DESTROYER,

Next to draining, the best way TO
abolish mosquito breeding places is to
treat the water so as to kill the mos
quito larvae. While many substances
have been tried for this purpose, moth
ing has given such good results as Pc
troleum, according to experts OF the

is most satisfactory as regards eff
