The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there IS at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in all it's stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires con- stitutlonal treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous SUI faces of the system. thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in do- Ing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of testimonials.

in this direction, but there IS yet much room for impro cement. What our people need to do IS to raise a more uniform poultry. Do away with the mongrel and mixed breeds, and keep fullblood- ed stock of whatever breed you prefer. keeping in mind the distinction between those breeds suitable only for egg production. like the Leghorn, and the dual purpose fowls. such as the Rocks and Wyandottes. Give more ser ious attention to your poultry. The income from the flock may seem small. but in the aggregate it is quite large, and is distributed over the greater part of the year, thus supplementing everything else.
 In the above discussion we have tried to point out the many lines of work that can be con ducted by the farmers of this section. We have not gone into details concerning the culture of any particular crop in this arti- cle for the reason that it would make it too lengthy, but will do so from time to time, as occasion demands, and we have endeay- ored to avoid the making of any mere theoretical statement, but have confined our discussion to the pointing out of those lines of
 worth that can actually be put into practice under present con- ditions. and to a statement of those lines of work that can be successfully undertaken when some of of our present draw

vesting are not always profitable, especially where shipments must be made to distant markets. Un- der these conditions, the growers will have the choice of either storing the potatoes until tho following spring, selling to can ming factories, or feeding to hogs for the purpose of fattening for market. In fact, if the growers of potatoes would properly grade their stock at harvesting and store nothing but the fancy grade for spring marketing and feed the culls and inferior grades to hogs and other live stock. satitfactory prices would be practical certainty for the best grades, while the poor grades and culls would give profitable returns.
 PEANUTS. The grt at value of the peanut is now recognized by everybody, and there is posi- lively no question as to the adaptability of the lands in this section to the profitable produc- ton of this crop, and the. e is probably no crop more easily grown when we consider it's rel ative importance. The methods of utilizing the peanut crop are numerous. They are quite profit able when grown for direct mar keting in car lots, as they can be grown with very little trouble and expense as catch crop af- ter oats, or any other crops that are removed early in the summer. But, after all is said regarding the peanut crop, its utilization as a grazing crop for fattening hogs for market is now generally rec oGnized as perhaps the most eco- nomical method under southern conditions, and this phase of the matter will undoubtedly receive more and more attention Tn this section of the country.
 STRAWBERRIES. There is no question as to the wonderful adaptability of the soils of this section to the successful culture of this, the greatest of all small fruits. Every farmer in this section would find it profitable to carry from one to five, or pos ibly ten, acres of berries. accord ing to his individual circum stances and personal preferences. We have the shipping facilities. and all we have to do IS to en- large and strengthen our present organizations and prepare to make a start in commercial Der. " growing, with due considera, tion of the essential requirements of the business. There is good money to be made out of berry growing when properly conduct ed. and in some particulars. the crop has attraction and advan- tages not found in other crops. However it is not advisable for any one ird,v dual 10 invest heavily in the business until he has learned fully it's essential requirements, and feels certain that he would like to give it special attention. or in other words. make SD cialty of the berry crop.
 COW PEAS. Last named, but by no means, the least. Nature h,s given us a most wonderful fertiIizing and soil renovating medium in the COW pea, and the time has come when we cannot hope nor expect to farm success fully without It, and in fact, the more of it the better for us as farmers. But, we do not intend to convey the idea that our farm CTS would find it profitable to grow peas as a direct money crop but more particularly as a "mor- ey-saver" in the way of cutting down fertilizer bills and improy inc the productive capacity Of

Eclipses Come in Series.

All eclipses occur in series, the first one of which takes place at one of the poles and the last at the opposite pole. The whole number in the series of lunar eclipses is completed in a period of about 870 years while the entire series of solar eclipses covers a period of l.200 years. Yet the time of the beginning of any of these eclipses, and the path of totality or partial obscuration can be calculated to the moment or the mile. This is a matter difficult to explain to the ana. teur in language to be easily under stood. The statement of the fact is sufficient. To ordinary students or observers the reasons for totality or partial obscuration are much more in. teresting. simply with the passing of each year.

 How wonderful!" exclaimed Gall, in enthusiasm. This was an idea sne could grasp. And have you secured Vedder court?"
 It's a matter of days" he returned carelessly. "The next step was the transcontinental line. I built it up. piece by piece, and today, under my own personal control, with sufficient stock to elect my own directors, who will jump when 1 crack the whip, l possess a railroad line from the Atlan- tic to the Pacific so direct, so straight, and so allied with ninety-ive per cent of the freight interests of the United States that, within two years, there will not be a car wheel turning Tn America which does not do so at the command of the A-P. railroad. That is the first step leading out of Vedder court. The news of that consolidation will be in tomorrow mornings papers, and from that minute on, the water will begin to drip from railroad stocks"
 How about Uncle Jims road?' Gail suddenly interrupted.
 T am taking care of him." he told her easily. From Vedder court run subways along the docks"
 q see!" interrupted Gail. You have secured control of the steamship companies, of the foreign railroads, of everything which hauls and carries!"
 "Airships excepted" he laughingly informed her.
 She was silent now, and he left her silent, breeding, himself, upon the vast scope of his dreaming, and planning still to center more and more the fruits of that dreaming within his own eager hand
 Roseleaf inn. Gail recognized it with smile as they turned in at the drive. She was glad that they had come here, for it was linked in her mind with the beginnings of that great project of which she had been the impulse, and in which the thing in her that had been denied opportunity because she was woman, claimed hungry share. At his suggestion-it was more like command, but she scarcely noticed she telephoned that she was going to remain to dinner with Allison; and then they enjoyed a two-hour chat of many things, trivial in themselves, but fraught now with delightful meaning, because they had to think on so many unexpressed things, larger than these idle people about them could conceive, or grasp if they knew

 "Maarten Martens" lived much in Paris. He loved to be in the world and of the world. But his work was mostly done in the old castle of Zon- heuvel, near Doorn. With Maurice Maeterlinck, the Belgian, he kept the literary art of the low countries" in the worlds van. To Americans his skill was delight, losing little in translation. He might be called the Dutch Thackeray without much stretching of the imagination. He had much in common with the author of Vanity Fair" and his works are bound to live as long as "Pendennis" or Henry Esmond."

today. Allison had been so busy Of late, and she had missed him. With all his strength, he was restful.
 "I feel like d new man at this time of the year." returned Allison, glanc- ing at Gail with cool appreciation. A car full of men passed them, and the looks they cast in his runabout pleased him. Gail, do you remember the first time we drove out here?"
 Indeed yes," she laughed. With the snow in our eyes, and the roads all white, with the lights gleaming through the flakes like arctic will-o'- the-wisps. We ran away that night, and dined at Roseleaf inn, and wor- ried the folks to death, for fear we had had an accident

 "I used to be conspicuous for im- pertinence," smiled Gail. I'm trying to reform"
 I'm giad you hadn't started when | met you" returned Allison, steering around a sharp stone with the firm ac- curacy which Gail had so often ad- mired. 'I never had so stinging re- proof as that little why. It did me more good than any sermon 1 ever heard"
 Gail looked at him in questioning perplexity. She could not gather what he meant, but she had sense of some thing big, and once more she was inn pressed with the tremendous reserve force in the man. His clear gray eyes were fixed on the road ahead, and the very symbol of him seemed to be this driving; top speed, long road. a steady hand, a cool determination. a sublime disregard of hills and valleys which made them all level road.
 Why? That word set me out on a new principle that never, while I had strength in me, would I consider my work finished, no matter how great an achievement I had made. I am still at work"
 Something within her leaped up in | |, A. 70 l,I, voice. To have been the inspiration of great deeds, even by so simple an agency as the accidental use of a word, was in itself an eXalting thing, though an humbling one, too. And there were great deeds. She was sure of that as she looked at him.
