PERSHINC LAYS
WREATH ON TOMB
OF LAFAYETTE
Marquis De Chambrun Re-
turns Thanks to American
for His Act.

PARIS, June 1s.-The Marquis De
Chambrun, the descendant Of the
Marquis De Lafayette, was chosen to
return formal thanks today when Gen.
eral Pershing laid wreath on the
grave Of the famous revolutionary
general In the Picpus cemetery. The
Marquis De Chambrun said:
There Is no place so appropriate as
this tomb at which to salute the new
allies to our cause.-the United States.
In your person, general, !. bow
before the sword which America casts
into the scale for liberty. civilization
and humanity
I'VE may fairly say that the bonds
uniting our two countries are In no
way the result of skilled diplomacy.
They are united by the principles OF
liberty, justice and independence,
principles which hitherto have formed
the strength Of our two democracies
and which will certainly bring about
victory.
Republics Are Invincibie.
I'VE know that our two great coun-
tries are invincible. They have al
ready proved it and it rejoices us to
think that new victory is about to
consecrate these same principles Gen.
eral, in placing these flowers on this
tomb, you have touched the hearts of
all Frenchmen as you have touched
the heart of Lafayette's great grand
son."
General Pershing replied:
1t is a great pleasure for all us
Americans to have had this opportun-
ity of visiting the grave of man who
did SO much for America. We are hap
py thus to pay our tribute and seal
more closely the bond which has al
ways existed between our two ma
items"
General Pershing will lunch tomor-
row with General Petain at grand
Headquarters and will probably attend
a special performance at the Opera
Comique in the evening.

Fun Will Begin in
November, Miss White
Tells Girl Workers

A talk on Registration and the spec
ial election was given by Miss Esther
Griffin White to the young women
employees of the Richmond Under
wear factory, this noon.
You cannot vote unless you reg
ister," said Miss White. while the
election on September IS may not
seem as interesting locally as the mu-
nicipal election in November, it is
more vital. If woman suffrage is not
written in to the new constitution our
present voting right will no doubt be
taken away from us by some future
legislature.
I'm November, however, the fun
will begin. We will all feel like get
ting out and whooping for one mayor
and one councilman.

Action Today May Save MaysyilIe

A bad back isn't bad thing If It
serves as warning of hidden kidney
disorders. Kidney diseases are fright
fully common today. We override so
much. We don't give the kidneys q
chance to rest up, and while a bad
back some bladder disorder, an occa.
sional dizzy spell or persistent head
ache may be the only outward sign,
the kidney trouble that is behind II
all may be overlooked or neglected
Put your signs to use. Take them as
warnings. Fight off kidney weakness
1t takes only slight kidney disorder
to start case of fatal Bright's dis
ease, from which 100000 people die in
the United States every year. Prompt
treatment at first-that's all that's ne
cessary to keep kidney weakness from
turning into gravel, dropsy, govt, neart
trouble or Brights. Use Doan's Kid
ney Pills-the oldest, the most widely
used, the best-recommended Kidney
Pill. Forty thousand Americans rec.
ommend them publicly Here's one
Maysville case:
Mrs. John Burns, W. Second St.,
Maysville. says: Il was subject to
severe spells of backache and other
kidney trouble. They would come on
every three or six months and there
were times when l was confined to bed
and rendered helpless. The quick and
decided benefit received from Doan's
Kidney Pills was wonderful | have
never had such severe attacks since"

| Mrs. Burns is only ono of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If your
back aches-if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney

HIGHER PRICES.

Values have risen and hardened
still more in wool and cotton goods
lines. Producing costs have become
abnormally high. and government
needs are exercising a constantly in
creasing influence upon the supply
Large users of staple goods in COM
mercial channels are becoming more
apprehensive of scarcity, and some
striking instances are cited of pur-
chases on contracts running over the
end of the year.
Distribution of seasonable merchan-
disc is becoming a little more active
in response to improved weather. In
so far as staple dry goods are con-
cerned, there has not been seen this
season a rise in values in any of the
larger retail stores to a parity with
the high costs in mill centers. Many
goods are to be had at retail at prices
closely approximating the charges
made by mills for future delivery. An
explanation is, that goods now being
sold were bought in anticipation of
the rise that has taken place, and are
not being sacrificed or sold at a
loss.
Greater financial restrictions are
being placed on trade in the form of
higher money rates than six months
ago, and by the needs of providing
more funds than in normal times to
pay for the same volume of goods
handled. Throughout the trade more
serious attention is being given to
consideration of the inevitable read
justments necessitated by war condi-
lions. not the least important of
these being the certainty of a grow
ing scarcity of skilled labor in mer-
camille and manufacturing channels.

The court realizes that everybody

it taxes an enormous amount of mon

The law further directs that i'll adj

the maximum amount the court may

would be twenty-five cents on each

the most serious question that con
