Want Fair Privileges
Concession Men Want To Get In On
Stanford's Fair This Year.

Concession men are already seek
ing to obtain the privileges for this
years Stanford Fair. All indica-
tons point to the biggest and most
successful fair ever held in Lincoln
county. f. C. Walton, who made
such a decided success with the fair
last year, has been unanimously
agreed upon for secretary of the next
fair, and he has already received sew
eral letters from men asking for
privileges. Some are offering to
pay more than they have on previous
years, for the Stanford fair has made
its reputation far and wide as the
best county fair in the state. A meet
ing has been called of the stock
holders at the X. P. Hall Saturday
January 9th, at two
o'clock, when further organization
will be gone into. Requests
for stock are coming from leading
farmers and business men all over
this part of the state, and it seems to
have resolved itself into the simple
of just how much CAPT
tai will be needed to put things to
moving properly.

Latest War News

The German advance in Rumania
has apparently been brought to a
standstill through the heavy re-en-
forcements brought up by the Rus
slams and Rumanians. The reports
from Berlin tell of only two sue
cesses. On the other hand, the Ru-
manians put down German attack
south of Monestar-Kachinui on the
Kasino River, and southwest of
Pralea surrounded a German posi-
ton and captured large numbe~ of
men and four machine guns. The
Russians are Smelling the towns of
Tultcha and Izakcha, across the
Danube in Dobrudja.
The British in France have ex-
tended further their gains of We'd
nesday, near Beaucourt- Sur ncre.
The French and Germans in the Vos-
ges Mountains, in Lorraine and near
scissors, are engaged in artillery
duels which are described by the
French War Office as being of "a
rather serious character"
A German commerce raider has
been working havoc in the Atlantic
Ocean on Entente Allied shipping.
Between the Azores Islands and the
South American coast during the pc
Rod from December IL to January
10 at least thirteen vessels-ten
British steamers, Japanese steamer
and two French sailing craft-were
captured by the raider and it is pre-
sumed that most of them were sunk.
Thirteen Americans are among the
survivors.
The British Admiralty assumes
that eight of the British steamers
and the two French sailing ships, all
of them long overdue and some of
them known to have been loaded
with arms, ammunition, horses and
other war supplies for the Entente
Allies, have been sunk by the raider.
The German lines are being hard
hit in France, the British making de-
cided gains in places. Canadian
troops made brilliant raid on Ger
man trenches, demolishing them and
taking 700 Germans as prisoners.
The Russians have recaptured a vii
lage recently lost and are maintain
ing an aggressive offensive.

FIGHT ON HOG CHOLERA

81 hope before the end of my ad-
ministration to see hog cholera Grad
icated from Kentucky" declared
Commissioner of Agriculture Mat s.
Cohen, chairman of the State Live
Stock Sanitary Board last week after
a conference of the board with rep
resentatives of the Federal Bureau
of Animal Industary in regard to CO.
operative efforts for the control of
all contagious diseases among ami
mails. Especial efforts are now being
made for the eradication of hog
cholera, which cost the agricultural
industry of the state $2,O0O,O0O in
1912, and Commissioner Cohen said
they agreed, on a plan of work which
he believes will be effective. II has to
be sent to Washington for approval.
Since 1912 hog cholera has been re-
duced about half, principally due to
the rigid inspection and disinfecting
of stock cars during the fight against
foot and mouth disease. The Kentucky
department endeavored to continue
the practice, but could not get the
cooperation of the Government and
other states.

BAD HABITS

Those who breakfast at eight o.
clock or later, lunch at twelve and
have dinner at six are almost certain
to be troubled with indigestion. They
do not allow time for one meal to d.
gest before taking another. Not less
than five hours should elapse be-
tween meals. If you are troubled
with indigestion correct your habits
and take Chamberlain's Tablets, and
you may reasonably hope for quick
recovery. These tablets strengthen
the stomach and enable it to per.
form its functions naturally. OBJ

NEWS FOR HOMESEEKERS

On February 9Th, the Department
of the Interior will open for settle
ment under the general homestead
and reclamation laws upwards of A.
900 acres of choice land in the
Belle Fourche valley of South Dako-
ia. This comprises the fifth unit of
this project thus far opened and is
located within a few miles of town
and railroad adjoining lands already
developed by settlers. The usual
residence of three years is required
and to all bona fide settlers the Re-
clamatiOn Service will furnish water
for irrigation purposes at actual
cost without interest on deferred
payments covering 20 years. The
Government regards this opening as
exceptionally good, and because of
present economic conditions and the
high cost of living it is thought there
will be large influx of homeseekers.
AS an evidence of the increased val
ues which Federal development has
gwen to lands in this section it is
stated that lands homesteaded in
1912 and valued at that time at s25
per acre have been sold recently at
$75 and $125 per acre. Detailed in
formation concerning the Belle
Fourche opening may be obtained by
addressing The Settlement Agent, U.
S. Reclamation Service, Chicago, ILL
nois.

WAVE OF PROSPERITY FAVORS
NEW CUMBERLAND INDUSTRIES
Knitting and Wooden Mills Dy and Bleach Plant Brickydrds
and Cigar Factory Employing Many Hands

New Cumberland. Feb. 26.-Caught in
a wave of prosperity, this little bor-
ough, the industrial center of the West
Shore, will surprise all business rec
ords in the history of the town.
Shortage of dyestuffs. caused by the
war. proved unfortunate to several of
the concerns. which were nearly COM
PEELED to suspend operations. Taking
advantage of the first opportunity the
New Cumberland Knitting Mill and the
Susquehanna Woolen- Company, signed
contracts with Buffalo firm to supply
them with this article for three years,
while the Pennsylvania Dye and Bleach
Works has arranged to be supplied for
year. In order to be sure of the sup
ply it was necessary, managers de-
clare, to pay nearly ten times as much
as under ordinary circumstances prior
to the war.
More than $50 people. the larger per-
centage of which are New Cumberland
residents. are given work in their home
town in these various factories.
The New Cumberland knitting Mill is
the largest concern III the borough
and reports a daily output of 600 dozen
hose, and running at full blast There
are 115 persons employed here. Recog-
nizing the opportunity in South Ameri-
can trade, this mill is putting consider
able energy in the development of its
trade in that direction. The shipments
to this country during the year have
been about 10000 dozen. Having assur-
ance of dyestuffs for three years, and
plenty of orders ahead, this concern
will doubtless 'surpass all records.
The Susquehanna Woolen Company
employs ninety people and has a daily
output of 500 pairs of blankets, with
orders booked for months to come.
The average shipment on the railroad
is two carloads each week. This firms
products are marketed at New York.
