While parts of Clark county
has had fairly good rains that
portion in the Old Pine Grove,
and surrounding locality is suf
fering for the lack of moisture
and in fact vegetation is drying
up to an alarming extent Grass
in the pastures has almost disap
peared; corn and tobacco are
firing up and should the much
needed showers be delayed
many days numbers of crops
will prove failures.
Stock water in getting low
aud the reconstruction of turn
pixies is being impeded for the
lack of sufficient water to use
thereon. 1t is possible work
may have to be delayed until the
much needed precipitation takes
place.
1t appears that Clark county
is no exception to the peculiar
rainfall during the past month
where some sections have re-
ceived numbers of rains when
other localities were left high
and dry. Reports of this kind
are made from Boyle, Mercer
and other counties.
A number of the mountain
counties, have had good and suf-
fcient rains up to this time. tho

The little cubes of butter that

CONSTITUTIONAL OF THE
 DRAFT.

When Congressman Billy" Mason of Illinois recently claimed in the house of representatives that the draft law was unconstitutional so far as the sending of American troops abroad was concerned, there were quite a few in the country who seemed to think his position, from legal tech mica standpoint, was well taken" as the lawyers say.
 We had no miSgiVingS, however, that any federal court would have the temerity to back up such a plea with a verdict that the law really transgressed the constitution. Our court decisions may not always merit full confidence in the body polite, but none would go so far, in the midst of life and death struggle between autocracy and democracy, to dare upset law that democracy needs to win it's battle.
 The hope of slackers that the draft law is unconstitutional is in vain. The federal court at Macon, Ga, has already indicated it cannot go coun- ter to democracy if it would, and if the case finally reaches the supreme court, the same result will accrue.
 Besides, the delay of cases in the highest. tribunal of the land might work in favor of democracy by not deciding the case one way or the oth- CT until after the war is over.

AlRPLANES IN ACTION.

The war has tremendously develop ed the airplane. Yet even now it's chief efficiency is scouting. It is the eye of the army.
 As a raiding agency the airplane has apparently proven more effective than the Zeppelin, judging by Ger manys abandonment of the big gas bagss in favor of the heavier-than-air
 
 flyers. ' &'
 Airplane fighting has hitherto been limited to scouting encounters. It has, in other words, been defensive; though the use of planes to distribute bombs on enemy positions. ammuni-

THOSE USELESS AIR RAIDS.

American newspapers generally have spoken in condemnatory terms regarding the useless air raids of the kaiser's forces over English towns, usually killing and maiming women and children and rarely doing dam age to a military depot or fort.
 Their continuance indicates that the German military machine thinks a campaign of frightfulness really pays. If it could read the thoughts of the civilized and neutral world it would surely discontinue this diabol- ical practice, which merely makes the allies firmer ill demanding revenge.

ton dumps and airdrOmes is grow ing feature of recent operations.
 Will the war be decided in the air?' is the question many people are asking. The use of air fleets on a gigantic scale is not impossible; and the recent operations would indicate that the idea has promising possibil- ities.
 If it is practicable, America should be able to help materially in provid. ing the fighting air fleet that will decide the war; and the skillful, dar- ing aviators.

the survivors are inches apart. The
pulled plants make excellent green's
for cooking.
Cabbage
Set plants from indoor seed boxes
or pots 10 inches apart in rows, the
rows being yard apart. Between
other little crops may be planted.
Early cabbage should be plucked as
soon as 1t has formed solid heads. Late
cabbages may be stored in trenches
and covered with straw and earth.
Carrots
Sow seeds 1-2 inch deep, using Ia
ounce to rs feet of row. Thin only If
roots~are crowding each other.
Caulihower
Grown the same as cabbages ex-
cept when the heads form, the loose
outer leaves should be tied together
over the heads to keep out light and

Celery
Sow seeds in seed boxes and set
plans in garden in June or July 6
inches apart, rows feet apart. When
plants are large heap earth around
stalks to whiten them.
Sweet Corn
Plant or 6 seeds 1 inch deep in
hills rounded up with the hoe feet
apart in rows 3 feet apart. When
plants are inches. high pull out all
but plants in each hill. Make new
paintings every two weeks so as to
have corn in several stages of growth.
Cucumbers
Plant ten seeds l inch deep in hills
feet apart. Later thin to plants per
hill. Do not plant until soil is warm
and frosts are over. Hoe only until
plants start to vine, then pull weeds
by hand.
Eggplant
Little plants from seed boxes are

Onions will grow from seeds or

KEEP URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers to
Eat Less Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly: keen
the feet dry; avoid exposurei eat less
meat, drink plenty of good water
rheumatism is direct result of
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also a means of freeing the blood of
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed
thus forcing the kidneys to do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circu-
1ating through the system, eventually
settling in the joints and muscles caus-
ing STIFFNESS, soreness and pain called
rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
ful in glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
slof these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive. harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with 1ithia
Iand Is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject
to rheumatism. Here you have a
pleasant. effervescent litha-wateI
drink which helps overcome uric acid
and is beneficial to your kidneys as
well.
