Years ago this Mount Holly resident
told of good results from using Doan's
Kidney Pills. Now Mrs. Mayer con
firms the former statement-says there
has been no return of the trouble. Can
Mount Holly people ask for more con-
vincing testimony?
Mrs. Albert c. Mayer, Io6 Ridgway

ing the early summer and scarce and
higher during the winter.
Second, milk and cream can be ham
died in cold weather with less danger
of souring, SO there is little loss on
account of milk returned from the
creamery.
Third, the amount of labor on the
farm is better distributed throughout
the year. If the cows freshen in the
spring, they are in full flow Of milk
and need the best care when work in
the fields is most pressing On the
other hand, If the cows calve in the
fall, and are MIXED during the win
ter, the farmer can give them close
attention. has more time to study the
problem of feeding. and can give his
men employment all the year, and in
that way get better help.
Fourth, the lactation period is
heightened and the amount of milk
given during the year increased. Cows
that freshen in the spring milk heav-
lily while grass is good, but as the pas
lures dry up the flow of milk falls off,
and with the approach of winter the
COWS are nearly dry. If they freshen
in the fall, they should at once be
started on a good winter ration, and,
when they have been MIXED six
months it is time to turn them to pas
ture, and for a time the flow Of milk
will be nearly as great as that from
fresh cows. Recent investigations by
experiment stations verify this obser-
vation
Fifth, fall calves can be raised bet
ter than those born In the spring.
Young calves should be fed on milk
for several months, after which they
must he weaned and fed on solid
food. If they are born in the spring,
they will be tormented by flies all
summer, they may be neglected be-
cause of the farm work, and when it
is time to wean them they must be
put on dry winter ration. Fall calves
come at a time when the dairyman
can give them the closest attention,
and when weaned they can be put on
grass at an age when an easily digest
ed and nutritious food is most needed.
AS more milk can be produced,
higher prices obtained, the labor more
evenly distributed throughout the
year, and better calves raised, winter
dairying offers the best returns to
producers.

Ask anyone to mention the most
famous American plays and he will
give without hesitation the names of
three or four, two of which will in
evitably be 'Uncle Toms Cabin" and
Hazel Kirke." 1t is significant that
all the plays mentioned III be found
to be based upon American rural life
that they preach a uniform lesson
of the beauty of parental love, the
Importance of living a clean life and
the unhappiness and ruin that result
from doing evil Those who pl each
the decadence of the taste Of the time,
would do well to consider that the
suggestive In plays condemns them
to short life and that the plays that
live are Of the type mentioned above
containing strong heart interest and
an evident moral.
Hazel Kirke" has shown a phe-
nemenal vitality which has endured
for over thirty years. 1t was written
by the late Steele MacKaye, the well
known actor and playwright. In the
original production were featured
Charles w. Couldock and Effie Ellis
Ter, who, as the old miller and his
daughter, took the country by storm
and played their parts for years.
The story deals with an old Ken
lucky miller, Dunstan Kirke, whose
daughter Hazel has been educated by
a wealthy neighbor, Squire Rodney.
to whom she has been promised in
marriage by her father She, how
ever, falls in love with rich young
man from the city, Arthur CARING
ford When her father learns of this,
he curses her for her lack Of COM
pliance with his wishes and drives
her from his house. She goes with
Carringford and is married to him
at country hotel. The minister has
been secured by Carringford's butler,
who knowing that the young mans
mother Is opposed to the marriage for
purely selfish reasons, has hired, as he
thought, a bar-room loafer to perform
the marriage. The terrible grief of
Hazel when she is informed by her
mother-in-law that the marriage was
not legal, drives her from her hus-
bands house to seek refuge with her
father. Denied shelter there, she
seeks to kill herself, to be rescued
in the nick of time by her husband,
who has vainly sought her everywhere.
The marriage is found to be legal, and
the play ends happily.
Pearl White, in the title role, finds
an opportunity for serious expression
denied her in the past AS Hazel she
is always convincing and does per-
haps the best work of her career.
Bruce McRae, whose art has been
ripened by years of starring on the
legitimate stage, Is an ideal Squire
Rodney and draws to his character all
the sympathy and admiration due that
lovable character.

WANTS DAMAGES FOR BITES
Employee Of Minneapolis Library
Brings Suit In Case That Es-
tabIIshes a Precedent.

Bitten by q man he elected from
the branch public library at the Gate
way, Jack Smith, employed at the
branch, demands damages from the
city under the workingman's com

the city legal department said Smiths
claim was the most unusual that had
come to his notice.
"A drunken man entered the IL

started to usher him out. The fellow
struggled and finally bit Mr.. Smith s
right hand. causing deep decorations
on the thumb and index finger. He
has had the wound dressed four times

Mr.. Jackman gave the opinion that
Smith probably is entitled to COM

INocuLATE LAND FOR CLOVER
Sow Seed Two or Three Years in Sue
cession Until Vigorous Growth
Of Lesume Has Been Secured.

Land can be inoculated for crimson
clover, vetch and alfalfa or sweet
clover by sowing the seed on it two or
three years in succession. If this
method is chosen, small plot of a
quarter-acre may be set aside and the
crop planted each fall or spring until
the vigorous growth of the legume
and the nodules on the roots prove
that the land is inoculated. Then dirt
may be hauled from this and scattered
over the other land to be inoculated.
Another way to get the farm inocu-
lated is to SOW just a little of the
seed mentioned above with some other
crop that is not cultivated and in that
way get the incubation distributed
over the entire place.
However, the quicker and better
plan is to get some dirt from a field
that has grown. the plant or get a
commercial culture and inoculate the
seed and make success the first time.

FINAL PLANS MADE
FOR CONVENTION
COMMITTEE ON ARRANGEMENTS
AGREES ON PROGRAM FOR
BIG MEETING.

CHICAGO, June 1.-The republican
national committee met today to hear
contests involving the right Of sixty
two delegates to sit in the convention.
A majority of the contests are from
southern states The result is not ex-
pected to affect seriously the chances
of the presidential candidates.
The committee will hold daily ses-
sions and expects to conclude its work
Saturday, so that the temporary roll
call Of delegates may be prepared by
Secretary Reynolds. Four years ago
the seats of nearly half the delegates
were in dispute, and the national COM
mittee was obliged to sit for more than
three weeks. Comparatively little in
terest is being manifested in the con-
tests this time.
Final plans for the convention were
approved by the subcommittee OF the
committee on arrangements, which
held its last meeting Wednesday.

UNUSUALLY SMALL
PER CENT Of WOOL
CROP HAD ANY BURS
NOT MORE THAN 5000 POUNDS
OF THE coUNTYS CLIP
PENALiZED.
BEST RECORD EVER KNOWN
A Few Years Ago Half OF The ous
put of the County Was Cut in Price
Because Of the Presence Of so Many
Cockie-burs.

Maury county farmers have discov,
cred that land and wool are both too
valuable to grow cockle-burs. AS the
result Of this discovery made in recent
years, only very small per cent, much
less than one-tenth Of the wool crop
of the county has been bury this
season. Only few years ago very
large proportion of the crop was bury
or partly bury. In some seasons half
of the wool offered on the local mar
ket was penalized because of the num-
Der of burs in it.
This has not been the case this year
One OF the leading dealers of the city
is of the opinion that of the l25OOO
pounds Of wool marketed in the county
this year not over 5000 pounds was
bury. This means that the vast ma,
jority of the farmers of the county who
marketed wool received the full price
for it. That means that they got from
thirty-five to even as high as thirty
nine cents. The latter figure repre-
sents the top price paid in COLUMBIA
for wool and only very little was
sold at that price.
The market is practically over ior
this year. Nearly all Of the crop mas
been sold.
