More Convincing Proof.

When Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound was first introduced its cur
alive powers were doubted and had to
be proved. But the proof came, and
gradually the use Of it spread over the
whole country. Now that hundreds of
thousands of women have experienced
the most beneficial effects from its use
its value has become generally recog
nized and it is now the standard medi-
cine for women's ills.
The following letter is only one of the

RUSS MINISTER
IS CONVICTED

PETROGRAD, Sept. 26.-General
Soukhomlinoff former minister of war
to sentenced to hard labor for life aft
er conviction of the charge of high
treason in the court here today.
A throng assembled this afternoon
In the hall in which the trial was held,
as the hour approached for the finding
of the verdict.
The crowd composed varied pic
ture made possible only by the revolu-
ton. Generals in splendid uniforms
rubbed elbows with private soldiers
clad in rustic blouses. Women in
silks and furs jostled plain gowned
women of the poor
AS the chief justice calmly address
ed the jurors, instructing them in the
law the court room was like a scene in
a picturesque drama, in decided con-
trast to the setting of American trials
Gen. Soukhomlinoff, in drab uniform
bald and bearded, sat with head in
hand, elbow on the dock, peering in
tently at the jurors. Beside him was
his wife, pale cameo-featured wom-
an OF perhaps 35 She seemed only
half her husbands age. Her black
dress and hat with veil thrown back
lent unexpected gravity to her face, so
V1vac1ous when surrounded by gayer
colors.
Beside the dock, standing stiffly at
attention save for furtive glances oc-
casionally at the prisoners, stood two
massive Russian private soldiers in
brown blouses, their rifles with fixed
oayonets resting on the floor.

RETAIL CROCERS
UNDER WAR RULES

CHICAGO, Sept. 26.-Retail grocers
Of Chicago have before them today a
set of rules calculated to reduce ex-
penses and to place the conduct of
their business on a war basis.
They provide:
First-Estab lishment Of two sets of
prices-one to be paid for goods for
which cash is paid and goods carried
home, the other for goods bought on
credit and delivered.
Second-The elimination of prem
fums, trading stamps and trade
boosters.
Third-The discontinuance of fore
ing sales of any commodity by fixing
a low price with the provision that a
quantity of other goods must be
bought to obtain the bargain rate-as
of sugar.
Fourth-Placing seasonable limits
on quantities which may be purchased
by consumer, to prevent boarding.
These rules were adopted last night
at a conference between representa-
tive of retail grocers' association and
Harry A. Wheeler, state food admins
traitor.
The grocers also agreed to under
take a compilation of staple necessi
ties, with view of fixing a margin OF
profit to be exacted by the retailers
as distribution charges. No attempt
will be made to limit profits on lux.
uries.

FAMOUS FLYER
OF FRENCH CORPS
KILLED BY FOE
Captain Guynemer Brings
Down So German Planes
Before Death.

PARIS, Sept. 26.-Captain George
Guynemer, who has been officially
posted as missing, is credited in the
army aviation records with having
shot down fifty-three German airplanes
inside the German lines and with hay-
ing destroyed at least twenty-five more
that were uncounted. Captain Guy
nemer has been missing since he flew
from Dunkirk on September IL.
Captain Guynemer was one OF the
youngest men of his rank In the
French army having been promoted by
President Poincare in February last, at
the age of twenty-five. At the begin
ming of the war Guynemer was under
age. He tried five times unsuccess-
fully to get into the army and finally
had to literally break his way into the
aviation corps.
Infantry Rejects Him.
The infantry refused him because
he was under weight for his height
and the flying corps rejected him be-
cause the examining surgeon could see
he was too nervous.
Finally, through the influence Of a
friend of his family who was In charge
of an aviation school he was allowed
to learn to ny. He astonished his in.
structors by his rapid progress and
GOODNESS and won flying license after
which the aviation corps accepted him.
Guynemer became an "ace" in the
French aviation corps in August, 1916,
and soon thereafter surpassed the rec
ord Of sub-lieutenant Jean Navarro,
who up to that time led with twelve
German machines to his credit. In
the meantime Guynemer had received
h11l1ofS in tho at VQrdrO n
1916 the academy of sports awarded
the young aviator a 10000 franc prize
for 'the best sporting event OF the
year" At the end of the same year,
with his captains stripes he received
the cross of the legion of honor.
Four in One Day.
Captain Guynemer's greatest days
work was on May II, of this year,
when he brought. down four German
machines, two of which he accounted
for in the space of two minutes, having
attacked a group Of four. With only
three cartridges left while on his
homeward flight he encountered the
fourth German ana shot him down
with one of the three remaining cart
ridges. One of the two victims he
shot down on August 4, last, was Lieut.
Hohendorf, German aviator who flew
for French airplane company before
the war and who had shot down twelve
machines.
The fifty-three German machines
credited to Captain Guynemer's record
we're worth something more than l.
100000 frances. Some of them were
manned by two or three men and it is
estimated that he accounted for more
than eighty pilots, observers and gun
ners.

Students SEATS
ARE AMONG BEST

The sale of students tickets for the
Peoples Music Course has not been
as large as the course promoters
expected.
Indications are. however. with the
opening of Earlham and the begin
ming of the season by music teachers,
the sale will take on impetus.
Some Of the seats which have been
set aside for use of students at a re-
ducd price are among the best in
the Coliseum.
They are seats for which a higher
price could easily have been obtained.
Because of their limited number these
seats will be gone before long. They
are selling rapidly now.
These season tickets are for any
bona f1de high school, college or music
student and are not transferable.
The sale of regular season tickets
continues to be gratifying. although
they are not going as rapidly as they
did when the chart was opened. There
are still number Of good seats, how
ever.

American Farm Machinery to

has resulted from this determination,
encouraged by the government, to de-
velop the fertile Balkan regions so that
Greece and the other Balkan countries
may hope to be self-supporting and
even contribute to the grain supply of
the rest of Europe. Macedonia virtual

Thessaly is the region where the
French High Commissioner, NJ. JON
mart, introduced intensive farming the
past summer in order to meet the
pressing needs Of Greece. 1t is one
OF the best wheat regions, and even
with primitive methods it produced
last year 100000 bushels of wheat,
oats, barley and rye, 100000 pounds
of tobacco, and much cotton and rice.
With the large consignments of
American machinery now on the way.
and abundant capital available, it is
expected that these products of Mace
donla and Thessaly will be enormous
ly increased, and that the hope will be
at last realized of making it one of the
great graneries of Eastern Europe.

Continuous Play on Reuoluing
Stage Seen by Lady Wyndham

LONDON, Sept 26.-(Correspond.
ence of The Associated Press. 1.-THE
continuous play, presented perhaps on
revolving stage, will develop after
the war, in the opinion of Lady Wynd-
ham, wife Of Sir Charles Wyndham,
the British actor and theatrical man
ager. Before her marriage to Sir
Charles, Lady Wyndham was Miss
Mary Moore, an actress and his part
ner in the management of several Lon
don theatres.
'tThe war;" she declares, in an article
in the Pail Mall Gazette, will prob
ably supply motives for various plays
long after peace has been restored
not the war which is expressed in
glimpses of battle, but the war as it
shows itself in the hearts OF men and
women and influences their lives and
their actions.
.My belief is that after the war an
entirely new style of play will be
evolved, and it will then be considered
old-fashioned to drop the curtain and
have an entr-acte. The practically
continuous play will be due, If it comes
into being, to various causes. There
Is. among other things, tendency for
people to go to revues and music-halls,
where the curtains do not drop.
Must Ban Breaks.
cit is an indication of the restless
ness of the age, and it was noticeable
before the war. If these people are to
be attracted to the theatre, they must
have plays presented to them which do
not contain a series of breaks. There
may be rapid changes of scene and
costume. or there may be the same set.
ting throughout the performance.
ITO have the same setting from be-
ginning to end in a successful play

on the part of the players. AS for the
writer of plays of the kind which
foresee. he will find the work quite

ARGUMENT BEGINS
IN DAMAGE SUIT

Argument of counsel in the suit of
John Pritchard against w. NJ. Hoover
was begun late Wednesday afternoon
in Wayne circuit court.
The suit is over the alleged negli-
gence of Hoover when the latter and
Pritchard's son collided on the streets
OF Hagerstown last July. Hoover, who
was driving an automobile, is alleged
to have struck Pritchard, who was
riding motorcycle and damaged Prit-
chard's machine to the extent of $780,
Two days have been spent in the
examination Of witnesses and it is not
probable that verdict will be reach
ed by the jury before Thursday morn
ing. Upon the outcome of this case
will depend largely another suit
brought by the same parties against
Hoover in which personal injuries re-
sulting from the accident are asked
to be soothed to the extent of $1,000
Both parties in the suit are farmers
living near HagerstowO.

ATHENS, Sept. 26.-(Correspond-
ence of The Associated Press.)-
American agricultural machinery is to
be used on huge scale to develop the
rich agricultural resources of Mace
donia and Thessaly, which have lain
for ages in an undeveloped state.
One of the largest orders ever given
by Greece has just been placed with
United States concerns, and the first
shipments of 200 farm tractors, 1900
auto-rakes, and whole shipload Of
other large implements left New York
on the first of the Greek liners to sail
since the Entente blockade was raised.
A company with $8,000,000 capital,
has just been founded to carry on this
development of Macedonia and Thess-
ally. 1t is chiefly Greek money, with
some French and American. But part
of the plan called for utilizing modern
American methods, by which farming
is conducted in the western states on
huge scale. The ancient methods of
ploughing and harvesting still prevail
in Thessaly and lower Greece, and this
will be the first time that the big
steam farm tractors have been operat-
ed here on large scale. Even the
many peasants, but at Volo, in Thess-
ally, iron and steel ploughs have been
turned out for some time past
Forced by War.
This development of the Balkan
graneries on a large scale is one of the
necessities forced on Europe by the
war All of the countries have sudden
ly realized that they could not feed
themselves in the pinch of war. Greece
alone has bought about S15,000,00
worth of grain every year from the
United States, Russia and Bulgaria.
With these countries cut off by SUBJ
marines and war conditions, Greece is
now trying to get wheat from India.
The other Balkan states are in the
same condition. They have lots of
idle land but are feeding themselves
from America, and beyond seas

French Ship Sunk
in Spanish Waters

PARIS, Monday, Sept. "a. - The
French steamship Amiral de Kersaint,
$50 tons gross, was sunk on Septem-
Der II after being attacked by a sub
marine in Spanish territorial waters.
The submarine opened fire from the
midst of fleet of fishing boats, the
presence of which prevented the
steamer from using her guns effec-
lively. After long combat the steam
er was sunk just outside territorial
waters. The captain was taken pris-
oner on the submarine. Ten members
of his crew were killed or have died
of injuries.

There is nothing more revolution
airy in the continuous play of the fu.
ture than there was in the past in the
change from the five, six, or seven act
play to the play of three acts-four at
the outside-with which we have
grown familiar. We must therefore
look forward to the results of an evo
lutionary process rather than to those
coming from revolution.
