Competing With Condensers.

We have warned the local creameries
many times to beware of the condens-
cries locating in their midst; that at
best they are temporary. They are the
fruits of the present world war, and
done when the war ends. It should be
perfectly plain that they are not good
and creamery patrons cannot make a
greater mistake than withdraw their
support from their home creameries
and give it TO these condenseries.
The situation so far as the local
creamery is concerned, is indeed seri-
Gus, and if the present increase in the
number Of condenseries is kept up, the
best dairy sections Of the country will
be taken over by them. Elk.

From the Waco Camp Ground.
Camp Macarthur, Texas.
October d 1917.

OStUDCI 10lt.
Company M 128 Inf, 64th Brigade,
.32nd Division, N. G., Camp Macarthur,
Texas, is in all probability the proper
address for the members of the Edger-
ton Platoon. Under the new reorgan-
ization the Edgerton boys, with the
exception of seven, VIM. Wodell, Thos.
Greenwood, Henry Johnson, Thomas
Woman, Harvey Davis, Charles
Thomas and myself will be assigned to
Co. M, and the boys from Stoughton
together with Captain ROLLS will be
attached to the mounted police, thus
wiping off the map as far as we are
concerned Co. K. Being that trans
fer was to be made, the boys are all
satisfied to join with Co. M. as you
know it was under Captain Caldwell
that our military training began. Har-
vey Davis and myself have made ap-
plication to join the Signal Corps.
The general opinion is that our divis-
ion will be one OF the first to leave for
France, but we will remain here for
intensive training for about sixteen
weeks. Across the pond is what
most of us are looking forward to now.
Camp Macarthur looks good to me
for training purposes. 1t has so many
of the comforts that Douglas lacked
The electric lighted tents and streets,
paved streets, street cars, and an end
less variety OF amusements, large and
commodious Y. NJ c. A. building,
where one can READ and write with
pleasure. The mess accommodations
are also great Improvement and our
feed is good. One thing is bad how
ever, and that is the water; it is Of the
aIkaH brand and a small drink gees a
long way; it has put some OF tie boys
out of commission for short time.
But they tell US that the longer we
drink it the better we will! like it.
Maybe SO.
Then the weather! Whew, it's hot.
During the day time the thermometer
registers 102 in the shade-bdt in the
day time shade is a scarce quantity,
the pines and bluffs of Douglas are
not here The drill fields here cover
vast acres where but short time ago
cotton and cane were under cultivation.
It has not rained down here for four
months, sunshine every day, and the
dust rises in dense clouds from the
tread of company drills Plenty of
drill work, too. The nights are nice
and cool, just right to produce refresh
ing sleep
Snakes, horned toads and scorpions
seem to be plentiful and not at all
particular about getting into tents and
making themselves at home. Some
cactus down here, too. Whoppers!
We get Saturday and Wednesday
afternoons and nearly all day Sunday
off and can go to the city every night
if we like. Waco is some city, both as
to buildings and it's people. Some
magnificent business places and fine
churches, and the societies always give
the glad hand of welcome to the boys
in uniform Their play houses and
movies are first class. If pay day came
oftener we would see more Of the
town, but perhaps just as we'll as it is.
Say to all the folks and all the friends
that it's no use to worry about US.
We're happy, well fed and well cared
for bunch, and are seeing many sights
that our wage at home would rot per-
nit.
Write often and write long is what
the boys want to say to all at home.

ALL SENSATIONS IN BRAIN
Persons Make Mistake When They Say They Feel Pain in Other
 Portions of the Body.

Where do you feel the pain? asks the doctor. In my finger, in my ear, in my foot. the sufferer replies, and if the physician told him he did not feel it there but in his head, the average man woud doubt the doctors sanity Yet the doctor would be right.
 In an address at the University of Californian Prof. c. H. Parker of liar ward told the students that we have been obliged to give up the idea that sensations are spread throughout our bodies, for persons who have lost a limb often feel sensations that seem to come from the missing member.
 Our sensations" said Professor Parker, 'are not located in the peri pheral parts affected, but in the cen tral nervous system, and within that portion of it known as the cerebral cortex." This is the outer layer. or gray matter of the brain One may lose an arm, yet have the sensation of pain in the hand; but if small piece of that particular part of the brain to which run the sensory nerves from the arm be removed, one will never again feel anything in that arm, not even 1f the hand be placed in the fire.

In all weathers the skin and com pleXion can be kept wonderfully clear, soft and white by the use of this inex- pensive lemon lotion which any girl or woman can easily prepare.
 The juice of two fresh lemons strain ed into a bottle containing three ounces of orchard white makes whole quarter pint of the most remarkable lemon skin beautifier at about the cost one must pay for small jar of the ordinary cold creams Care should be taken to strain the lemon juice through fine cloth so no lemon pulp gets in, then this lotion will keep fresh for months. Every woman knows that lemon juice is used to bleach and re- move such blemishes as freckles, sal lownesS and tan, and Is the ideal skin softener, smoothener and beautifier.
 Just try it! Get three ounces of orchard white at any pharmacy and two lemons from the grocer and make up quarter pint of this sweetly fra grant lemon lotion. It naturally should help to soften, freshen, bleach and bring out the roses and hidden beauty of any skin. Those who will make it habit to gently massage this lotion into the face, neck, arms and hands once or twice daily may be re- paid with skin that Is flexible and young looking and peach-like con- plexion.

RUSS|A'S BIG PORT
 TAKEN BY GERMANS
RUSSIANS ORDERED TO EVACU- ATE THEIR TRENCHES WHEN
 ATTACKED BY GERMANS.
RETREATING TO THE EAST
Where Russians Will Draw Their New Line in North To Cornect With That Below Point of Penetration Re-
 mains To Be Seen.

New York.-Riga, Russia's big port on the Gulf of Riga, is in the hands of the Germans, and it's garri- son and the civilian population are in retreat eastward.
 Following up the advantage gain ed in driving the Russians across the Diyina river on both sides of UkskUll, the Germans threw bridges across this stream and soon were on the heels of the former defenders, who gave the invaders little trouble in their march up the eastern bank of the Dvina toward Riga, 15 miles distant.
 Seeing the disaffection and the in- ability to stem the tide of the ad- vance, the Russian commander order ed an evacuation.
 With the falling back of the Rus sians from the city proper and the advance of the Germans northward along both sides of the stream, the Russians. still defending the western bank around Dahlen, seemingly are in danger of being caught between the two fast moving bodies of the enemy and made prisoner.
 Behind them the Russians in their retreat are laying the country in waste, burning villages and farms. Whether the city itself remains in tact has not yet been made known, but doubtless the guns in the fortress cit bar were moved or destroyed to prevent them falling into the hands of the Germans.
 Aside from the strategic value of controlling the Gulf of Riga, and of a base nearer the mouth of the Gulf of Finland. at the head of which Petrograd is situated. for the moment it is impossible to see the importance of the German gain, especially with the near approach of winter, when military operations in this northern region are almost impossible.
 Where the Russians will draw their new line in the north to connect with that below the point of penetration by the Germans also remains to be seen.
 Riga. capital of the government of Livonia, had population of more than 500,00O before the war and aside from Petrograd, was the most important Russian commercial and in dustrial town having access to the Baltic. It is situated at the southern extremity of the Guls of Riga. 8 stretch of water 100 miles long and 60 miles wide Riga lies where the Dyina empties into the gulf. The port is ice-bound during practically one third of the year. It had a very large German population before the WAT. It was founded in 115S by German mcr- chants as a storehouse. The city pass ed through the control of various northern nationalities during the cen- turieS until finally in 1721 it was in- corporated with the Russian empire. It was the third seaport of Russia, only Petrograd and Odessa exceed ing it.

Fruit Production.

Fhe production of apples In this country during the last six years has averaged over 60,0OOO00 barrels. The estimated value of this apple crop for 1915 was S145,0000O0. The product of peaches in 1914 was estimated at 54.000000 bushels. and of pears fol that year 11000000 bushels. Consid. ering all of the hardy fruits of the North and the tropical fruits of the South, what a vast bulk is gathered every year.
