The appalling deatfrrate from
kidney disease is due in most cases
to the fact that the little kidney
troubles are usually negleced until
they become serious. The slight
symptoms often give place to chron-
ic disorders and the sufferer may
slip gradually into some serious
form Of kidney complaint.

II straw shOwes which way the

indication that the coming fair
will be the greatest in the history
of the association, and while this
phrase may have been used before
there is ample proof this year OF
a greatly increased interest in the
one event that is the recognized
holiday for the entire Arkansas
Valley. The inquiries this year
have exceeded in number by hun
dreds those of any other year, due
largely to the fact that the enter
tainment offered will surpass in
every way that OF previous years

the show, is authority for the.
statemet that the program ar.
ranged by the committee will keep
the people on their feet q good
share Of the time and will not
leave q dull moment during the
entire afternoon. The fact that
there are day monies in all the
championship contests wifi keep
the boys and girls fighting to the
very end for the special prizes and
the cups, and the entire grogram
will easily outclass anything ever
offered for real sport and excite
ment. While attendants at the
fair have been given touch Of
cowboy work in previous years.
they viii have an opportunity to
see the real thing this year, and
the appreciation OF the public is
shown by the great demand for
season tickets and reservation.
It is expected that the swine
breeders Of this state will be given
an unsual treat and an opportu.
nifty to learn great deal about the
hog business from the fact that

This is the history Of
farming since the begin

If you use your eyes,
you cannot help seeing
that the best crops are
raised by those who prac-
tice diversified farming.
There is no better or pro-
fitable way to get into
diversified farming than
to keep good milk cows.
You must notice that the
man who milks cows,
generally pays his bills
promptly, has some
ready cash and that he
has the best credit at the

lives from hand to.

turning crops into cash
at the present high
prices. He does not
often have a chance to-

Just figure what the
increase in the price Of

worry. Consider that
other sections are paying
fifty per cent more for

more for milk. Thous

Good Players in Doubles.

There are enough good players paired
off to make strenuous assaults on the
records in the doubles. Ray Chaplin
and Johnny Baum have their eyes on
the pins, and any record they make
will not be astonishing. Baum par

MAY FALL
TONIGHT IN TOURNEY
Strong Teams and Doubles Take
Alleys in Duckpin
Event.

If some of the records in class A in
the District Duckpin Association tour
nament do not fall tonight it will not
be because there are not capable men
on the alleys. The most brilliant PIN
spillers in the District are to line up
tonight in the doubles and as members
of the teams of the District League.
It will not be easy to surpass the pres
ent mark for the doubles, but the
chances are that two or three CUNTS
will get better figures than have been
rolled by any of the teams. Also 1t
will not be any great surprise If one
of the doubles comes through with a
record breaking set.
Most prominent of the teams to take
the alleys are the Grand Centrals. Con-
tinentals and Royals: These undoubt-
edly are the strongest clubs IN the
District. or in the whole south Allan
tic section, for that matter. In fact,
the Royals have been rated as one OF
the best duckpin fives in the United
States There are other teams from
the District League liable TO come
through, too the Contenders. Belmonts,
Westons, Garrisons and Shermans be-
ing CAPABLE OF rolling big counts when
thew are going right.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. May 10.--Carl Well
man, pitcher for the ST. Louis Ameri-
cans, probably will be out OF the game
for the rest of the season. Physicians
have advised that one of his kidneys
be removed.
The loss of Weilman will greatly
weaken Fielder Jones staff While
Weilman was weak against certain
clubs, he was especially strong against
others, and it was his remarkable
pitching against Detroit last year
which virtually put the Tigers out of
the American League race and enabled
the Red Sox to win. Weilman conquer
ed the Tigers nine out of eleven games
last year. and he was invariably saved
by Jones to meet the Tigers, sometimes
pitching in two of the four games Of
each series. He was also effective
against Boston and Washington, but
weak against Chicago, Cleveland and
New York.

from Iuka to Pratt a little after
9 o'clock and that they met some
twenty-five autos on the wy and

is great violation of the law and

fail to dim your light, you stand
chance of driving the other car
into the ditch. Do that one of
