LOOK AT A CHILD'S
TONGUE WHEN CROSS,
FEVERISH AND SICK
liver and bowels at
once.

Mothers can rest easy after giving
: California Syrup of Figs because in
a few hours all the clogged-up waste,
sour bile and fermenting food gently
moves out of the bowels, and you have
a well, playful child again. Children
simply will not take the time from
play to empty their bowels, and they
become tightly packed, liver gets slug
gish and stomach disordered.
When cross, feverish, restless, see if
tongue is coated, then give this deli
cious g fruit laxative. Children love
it, and it can not cause injury. No diff
ference what ails your little one-if
full of cold, or a sore throat, diarrhoea,
stomach ache, bad breath, remember, a
gentle .'inside cleansing should al
ways be the first treatment given. Full
directions for babies, children of all
|ages and grown-ups on each bottle.
Beware of counterfeit fig syrups.
Ask your druggist for a bottle of
" California Syrup of Figs then look
carefully and see that it is made by the
f. California Fig Syrup Company We
make no smaller size. Hand back with
contempt any other fig syrup.-Advt.

MOVEMENT FOR JEFFERSON CUT
OFF GROWS AS TIME NEARS
FOR FINAL ACTION.

Within the next ten days Boone
county must have developed her road

Highway Cutoff or an opportunity for
one of the greatest benefits ever pre-
sented to the section will have slipped
by Promoters Of the western route
are hard at work and their success
will in a large measure mean our
defeat.
If we fail in the establishment of an
improvement district the $4,000 state
and government aid is lost to us for
ever to say nothing of the advant
ages of the highway itself; and this,
together with the fact that over forty
thousand dollars must be expended in
Boone county for labor and materials,
should make it easy for the most con-
servative land owner to make up his
mind.
With the town of Harrison paying
over half the cost of this improvement,
the railroad contributing literally,
and the government adding approx
mately fourth, it seems improbable
that any citizen interested could with
hold hearty endorsement
In connection with its cOmpaign for
this proposition the Good Roads Club
of Harrison went out en- masse, by
special car, Monday evening, to Bata-
via and held an enthusiastic meeting
with the citizens of that section, who
seemed quite alive to the Importance
of the move, and unanimously favor

ment district. Able presentation of
the subject was given by j. Sam Row.

Within a short time petitions will
be circulated throughout the section
touched by the road asking the county
court to establish this improvement

any opponents to the movement will

CANNING FACTORY
BEGINS ITS WORK
Harrison Enterprise Starts Today
With Capacity of Car Loat
Every Ten Hours.

The Harrison Canning Factory, with
S. T. Brown as manager, and a full
equipment of the most modern ma
chinery begins operations today IN
the 1917 tomato crop with a pledged
acreage of $50 acres now rapidly ripen-
ing Wagon loads of the vegetable
began arriving yesterday and there is
promise of a fine yield, both as TO
quantity and quality.
The capacity of the plant is a car
load Of the finished product every
ten hours; at this rate three DAYS
would supply the local demand for a
year, but Mr.. Brown, has his output
contracted for and its sale will bring
many thousands of dollars here from
the big markets.
One hundred thousand cans have
already been purchased and are stored
at the plant, and like number has
been ordered for delivery later, so
there will be no shortage on this line.
Mr.. Browns experience in this busi-
ness has enabled him to understand
the value of preparedness, and he has
planned and arranged for the neCes.
sary supplies in every line in a way TO
insure the very best results.
Employment will be given to forty
pealers woman and girls, who will be
paid cents per bucket, or IL cents
if they work throughout the season.
At this rate it will be easy for a girl
to earn $1,2O per day or in some in.
stances more:
For the next month or more visitors
will find the canning factory one of
the busy places of the town.

NO OIL IN THE OIL WELL.

After a struggle covering more than
a year and involving the expenditure
of large sums Of money by a company
including some of our most enterpris

terprise seems to have arrived at a
permanent stand still.
Alleged experts who promoted the
venture in the face of adverse opinions
expressed by such men as Branner
Opperman DeMahler and others have
demonstrated that they were guessing
