ALL CHILDREN LOVE
"SYRUP OF FIGS" FOR
LIVER AND BOWELS
Give it when feverish, cross, bill
ious, for bad breath or sour
stomach.

Look at the tongue, Mother! II
coated, it is a sure sign that your lit
tie ones stomach, liver and bowels
need a gentle, thorough cleansing at
once.
When peevish, cross, listless, pale,
doesn't sleep, doesn't eat or act nat
urally, or is feverish, stomach sour,
breath bad; has stomach-ache, sore
throat, diarrhoea, full of cold, give
a teaspoonful of california Syrup
of Figs, and in a few hours all the
foul, constipated waste, undigested
food and sour bile gently moves out
of it's little bowels without gripping,
and you have a well, playful child
again. You needn't coax sick chill
dren to take this harmless "fruit lax
ative"; they love it's delicious taste,
and it always makes them feel splen-
did.
Ask your druggist for a bottle Of
california Syrup of Figs, which has
directions for babies, children Of all
ages and for grown-ups plainly on the
bottle. Beware Of counterfeits sold
here. To be sure you get the genuine,
ask to see that it is made by Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Company" Refuse
any other kind with contempt.

President Wilson Thursday gave
full endorsement Of woman suffrage
as an immediate issue in every State.

Work With County Home Dem
ontration Agent-Get the Good
Out of the Fairs.
Correspondence of The Robesonian.

Correspondence Of The Robesonian.
Arson Sanatorium, Wadesboro, Oct.
Reading The Robesonian keeps
me reminded Of how glad / shall be
to mingle with Robesonians next sum-
mer. Though it's great to be in the
State of Robson and cross over into
Cumberland occasionally, it is also
fine to be in Arson, where the hickory
nuts turn to scaleyharks and the peas
are too plentiful to count.
For two weeks, beginning Oct. LIST,
was in the home of Mrs. j. G. Red
fern, county demonstration agent,
nursing her through severe illness.
She had collected her exhibit for the
State fair and seemed worried over
the fact that she was unable to pack
and ship it. AS she improved more
club members went out to her home,
two miles from town, and with Mr..
Redfern's help we polished, labelled,
classified, packed and shipped her ex-
hibit.
Miss Gainey Of Fayetteville asked
Mrs. Redfern to let this exhibit go to
the Cape Fear fair, so Mrs. Redfern
wrote her to have the canned part of
her exhibit shipped to Fayetteville
from Raleigh.
/ would be glad if the girls of Cum
berland and Robson, especially, would
go to the fair and look up this ex-
hibit and see something Of what the
girls Of this county (Anson) are do
ing. Of course this is only one fea-
ture of the work done by the denom-
strators.
1t did me good when I read in The
Robesonian that Robson had en-
ployed Miss Cassidey for her full
time in this work. Please let me ask
every woman and girl, and the boys
as well to go right into this work
with Miss Cassiday and see if you will
not be benefited in more ways than
you thought. l would be glad to know
that each boy and girl could go to the
fairs and see what your county, as
well as others, produces. You will be
surprised and benefited, too, if you
go for the good and not the frivilous
and evil things too often connected
with fairs.
Having number Of lectures and
books to study, time says: "You can't

Annual Event at Wilmington This
Year is Expected to Surpass
Former Corn Shows.
CORRESPONDENCE of The Robesenian.

Correspondence of The Robesenian.
The big fair known as
firm annual corn show, live
stock conference and poultry exhlb..
It for the ten southeastern counties OF
The State to be held at Wilmington
on November 9Th to 9th, inclusive,
promises to be most successful and
thousands of visitors from the neigh
boring districts are expected. This is
the fifth season of the corn show and
IL promises to far surpass from every
point of view the exhibits as held dur
ing the past four years.
The counties which will join in the
show this year are New Hanover,
Brunswick, Sampson, Wayne, Column
bus, Bladen, Duplin, Onslow, Fender
and Robson. Prize lists aggregat-
ing several thousands of dollars in
value have been issued and these COW
er competitions in various displays
of agricultural and farm products,
fancy work, domestic science, manu-
featuring and industrial displays,
poultry and live stock.
Friday of fair week has been Sc
lected as educational day, upon which
date, the school authorities of the diff
ferent counties will be requested to
declare holiday so that the pupils
may have an opportunity to visit the
show.
The automobile prizes to stimulate
travel by Ford or auto, are very at
tractive and already there is keen
competition among the different coun-
ties. The county having the largest
number of cars in the parade the
first day of the fair will be awarded
$50, the next largest $15, the third
$40. The same sums will be offered
the county having the largest number
of cars registered during the four
days of the fair. $25 will be award
ed the county having the largest num-
Der of people registered who travel in
ways other than on train or by auto
mobile. To the county having the
largest number of registered citizens
during the fair a solid silver loving
cup will be presented, to be held one
year.

CITY COUNCIL HOLDS
 MONTH MEETING
Little Business Comes Before City Fathers. Short Session Is Result.

Improvement in the city, with no trouble except the constant and un- ending street and sewer work, is re- fiected in the city council meeting which are brief, active and efficient. Last evening the semi-monthly gath ering met, discussed routine business for a short time and adjourned at S:30 o'clock.
 On motion of Councilman Delbridge, who determined through the sewer in spector, A. E. Sheppard, that the city reservoir and tanks were nearly full, it was decided to ask the city bacteriol- ogist, Dr. R. B. Durfee, to inspect the water and if it is found to be free from contamination to turn it in the city's drinking fountains at various points in the community.
 In order to dispose of several par cells of property, which have value but are of little use to the city of Bisbee, Mayor Erickson, as trustee of the townsite, appointed a board of three supervisors last evening to examine and report to him in the near future. Jim Powell, city assessor, was made head of the appraising board.

French Classes
 Held at Y.M.C.A.

Leon Feuchere, geologist of the Copper Queen, and a resident of the Warren District for many years and a native of France will conduct classes at the Y. NJ. c. A., Monday, Wednes- day and Friday evening, at 7:S0 o'clock for the benefit of drafted men in the national army of America.
 The entire country has become, sud denly, interested in the study of the French language. It is in that coun- try where the American forces will make their first appearance and a knowledge of the language is most essential Even the most rudimen- tary information regarding the habits and tongue of the French will be a great help.
 To this end the Y. NJ c. A, aided by Mir Feuchere, are making an effort to give the drafted men an opportunity to verse themselves in French. Every man who is drafted or who must go to France in any capacity is cordially invited to attend.

COUNTY ID
 HAVE THE LOWEST TAX
 RATE IN ARIZONA

The tax rate for Cochise county for the year 1917 has been fixed by the board of supervisors at S61e cents per S1OO. The rate was apportIoned as tol- lows: IS cents for the general fund i; 71k cents for the road fund, and 10 cents for the schools. The state rate being fixed at 531z cents per $100 will make the combined state and county rate S9 cents. It was expected by the board and Clerk Karger that the rate would be considerable lower this year than last and, in fact, the county rate is 75h cents lower. But the state rate having been increased the total rate shows an increase of cents over last year.
 Cochise county will continue to have the lowest rate of any county in the state, at that, and will keep it's record that it has had for the past five years. The Maricopa rate will be S1.0S and Pima couny S1.70. The other counties have not been heard from. The lower ing of the rate in Cochise county speaks well for the management of the county affairs by the present board of supervisors and their efficient clerk.

All members are requested to be present, when import ant matters relative to the interests of the cattlemen will be brought up. Be sides a, large membership in Cochise county, a delegation O. members from Graham county are expected to be present, the two associations having consolidated at the last meeting held at Stafford the first of the year. It was deemed to be the best interests of the cattlemen concerned to consoli- date both associations and one of the largest memberships of any cattle growers association in the state is the result.
 The preparations for entertainment for the members of this convention will be in the hands of the Douglas chamber of commerce and local num- bers of the association.
