In the court room at Parsons a few days ago an aged woman who was very deaf was called to testify. After taking the oath, the attorney for the prosecution asked her to state her name to the jury.

The stenographer also fell way short Finally the prescott ing attorney gave t up and waived her testimony. The judge, who had re- mained as silent as the witness thru 1t all, turned to the counsel for the defense and asked: Do you wish to crossexamine the witness?"

CAnADA'S BONUS
TO FARM LAB0RERs
Offering 160 Acres to Farm
Hands.

Canada today, with the great de.
mand that Is made upon 1t for food.
stuffs, finds itself almost in the throea
on labor famine. A novel means Of
solving the problem has been evolved
by the Canadian Government at Ottawa
on Wednesday last, when 1t was de-
cided to practically bonus every farm
hand going to Canada, by giving him
100 acres free as homestead, and to
allow the time he would be working out
for, the good wages offered, to count as
residence duties on the homestead.
Western Canada has been q big pro-
ducer of grain and it Is estimated that
there is shortage of over thirty thou
sand men, necessary to produce an av-
erage crop in 1917. THIS shortage has
been caused by SO many young men
having left the farms to so to war, and
1t is essential to make an unprecedent-
ed offer of this kind, to fill their places
on the land ut once.
It has been required in the past to
do three years duties on hOmesteads
to get title, but an additional induce
ment has been offered by practically
reducing this term to two years. AS
explained by an official of the Canadi-
an Government, Canada's need for
farm laborers Is intense, and excep-
tional inducements are being offered
to get the needed farm workers at
once. A farmland will make his en-
try for one Of the 160-acre farms, sat.
isfy the Government that he is work.
ing for a farmer and that time will ap'
ply as residence on the land fled for,
lust the same as IL he was actually
living on it.-Advertisement.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
SVanp-Root, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-

Il II now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
- they control the other organs to . re-
markable degree and do q tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by

The kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed. We take less ex-
srcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,

TO Be public Benefit

In speaking OF the proposed widen
ing of Eleventh street, to be paid for
by Pierre S. DUPONT, Colonel George
w. Sparks. president of the board of
directors Of the Street and Sewer De-
partment, said today:
Anyone who has had occasion to
ride over West Eleventh street in an
automobile has seen the congested
condition of the street below the Ho-
tel dupont. As a general rule cars
were parked on each side OF the
street. and as automobiles would be
coming both ways through only a
narrow passageway. there was a con-
tinual block in the traffic.
with the widening Of the street,
not only will traffic conditions on this
stree be better. but other streets in
the vicinity will be helped as we'll,
People residing on the west side OF
town who are making their way TO
their place of business, the railroad
station, or the water front on their
way to the seashore can make use of
this street. When it is widened it
will become probably one of the most
travelled streets in the city. Not only
will It be wide enough for carrying a
great deal OF traffic, but the absence
Of car tracks will be an added induce
ment to Automobiles and others

UP-TO- MINUTE STOCK
LAID IN FOR BUYERS

Low Shoe Week" will be observed
by Wilmington shoe dealers all Of
next week.
The Wilmington shoe merchants
have made ample preparations for
meeting the demand for "low.cuts"
and have laid in an abundant stock
of oxfords, slippers and pumps for
discriminating buyers.
Not only that, but early buyers
will get the advantage Of the best
prices, it is claimed, inasmuch as many
OF the merchants bought shoes at
prices that prevailed before the ad-
vances were made by the manufac-
turers. Thus, when the stocks bought
at old prices by the dealers are dis
posed of, the offerings Of shoes will
be based on the new schedule Of ad.
vanced shoe prices.
Practically all the Wilmington shoe
merchants have Joined in the plans
for Low Shoe Week" which has be.
come an institution just like straw
hat week.
Streamers OF red, white and blue.
with the inscription Low Shoe Week"
have been distributed to the various
stores, which will display them next
