BE CANNY.

Get that canning impulse.
Make your hoe this summer keep
your can opener busy next winter.
Get ready for canning season now.
Regrets are the only things ever can
ned in the jars you forgot to order.
Can nothing that can be kept with
out canning. Dry such vegetables a.!
corn, string beans, navy beans, ma
ture Lima beans, okra, etc.
You can brag about your garden
all winter if you have your canned
evidence on the dinner table. Con-
centrate products, especially soup
mixtures, so that each container will
hold as much canned food and as lit
tie water as possible.
Really there is nothing to canning
fruit and vegetables except care,
cleanliness, fresh products, jars and
heat.

PLENTY OF PROOF
From Paris People You Know
Prom Paris Citizens.

The greatest skeptic can hardly
fail to be convinced in the face of
evidence like this. 1t is impossible to
produce better proof of merit than
the testimony of residents of Paris,
of people who can be seen at any
time. Read the following case of it:
j. w. Larkin, retired farmer, 43i

only too glad to recommend Doan' s

had quite bit of trouble with my

LEXINGTON FALL TROTS.

With one exception, every two

Lexington, October 1, as follows:
The Real Lady 2:04A, Emma Ma

The Country Papers.

Secretary McAdoo has thanked the
newspapers of the United States for
making the sale of the Liberty Loans
possible, and he has called attention
to the fast that especially deserving
of thanks are the editors of the week
ly and semi-weekly papers, in other
words, the "small-town papers" OF
this country. Without their aid.
thousands of rural homes would new
er have been reached-and it is a
matter of fact that vast amount of
Liberty Loan bonds were purchased
by the farmers.
1t is a deserving tribute to the
county newspapers of this country.
The little paper from the old homo
town is still recognized by Uncle
Sam as of equal Importance to the
great metropolitan daily when it
comes to talking to all America
While the weekly newspaper and the
city daily are not competitors, in
that the public has placed it's stamp
of approval upon both of them and
decided that it cannot get along with
out either, it is recognized fact
that in such instances as the recent
Liberty Loan campaign and the selec
tive draft registration the govern
ment could not have hoped for sue
cess without the heartiest co-opera-
ton of the country papers.
Secretary McAdoo's testimonial t.
the loyalty of the county news
papers in this country is most pleas
ing But he should not stop there.
Now that he knows their value in
spreading before the people, millions
of them, who are not reached by daily
papers, the vital message so neces-
Sary to our success in the present
war, he should see that greater con-
sideration is given them in the halls
of Congress, and that their lifeblood
is not sapped by such unfair legisla-
ton as is frequently, too frequently,
offered. He would do well to remem-
Der that this government expects to
inaugurate other nationwide cam
paigns before peace shall have been
declared, none of which can hope to
be successful unless the country pa
pers of the United States are back o.
them.
With haircuts at thirty-five cents
per cut, it will soon be quite proper
for Paris people to let wool grow
and explain to their friends that yon
