Much interest was manifest in the
Canning factory project at the meet
ing last Monday night. Mr.. Travers
was present, and told in plain English
what he wants before investing any
money here. He is a successful bust
ness man, plain without any frills
and talks right from the shoulder.
The principal thing now, as one of
the preliminaries is acreage. There
is no need Of making much of stir
right away about site. If enough
acreage can be secured under con-
tract to look good to Mr.. Traver,
site can be obtained and Mr.. Traver
will come here and erect a modern
factory that will mean much to this

w. J. Bryan says that he does not
know how long the war will last but
that he knows the quickest way out
is straight through. Fine, fine. And
how splendid that would have sounded
a few years back when a Republican
administration was trying to put
down the Aguinaldo rebellion in order
to bring peace, health and happiness
to the residents of the Philippines.
But Bryan was singing a different
song in those days.

Hoover says the price of food will
be reduced before the New Year
comes and Garfield says there will be
plenty of coal for all domestic and in
dustrial needs. Crozier says there
will be rifles enough for our soldiers
who go to France. Sharpe says there
will be adequate heating apparatus
in the cantonment barracks. The use
of the future tense by the authorities
at Washington seems to be unanimous.

WAR ISN'T WON YET.

Quill lue eircily sweeps on III
northern Italy. Reinforcements have
been rushed to the assistance of the
brave Italians, and the German adj
vance seems to have been temporarily
at least, checked. We must acknow-
ledge however that the enemy has
won great victory on the Italian
front, and that the situation there is
critical. The sudden turn of affairs
on the Italian-Austrain border has
served to solidify the various factions
of that country and to unite the
Italians armies as never before. They
are making desperate stand against
the intruders, and will fight to the
last ditch.
The german victories in Italy will
probably have no bearing on the
eventual outcome of the war, but they
may prolong the struggle. 1t will
awaken Austria, which at times has
show signs of internal dissensions,
to renewed efforts, and will sound
good to the battered german in
habitants at home. On the other

cans from their complacancy regard
ing the outcome of the war. No one
believes that Italy will collapse under
the continued hammering of the
hordes of german invaders, and yet
we cannot help but look back in re-
trospection over the situation as it
has developed in Russia, and no
matter how optimistic we are in
clined to be, we shall be remiss in our
plain duty to ourselves and to our
country, if we do not look upon the
present situation with grave appre-
hension.
1t has been hard for us to really
awaken to the fact that we are at
war anyway. So many of our friends
and neighbors have been predicting
an early termination of the war,
Germany is demoralized and all shot
to pieces, we have heard them say.
"The german people will not stand
much more of the Kaiser, and will
incite a revolution" has been another
prediction. The present situation
however, does not justify such OPP
timism. 1t is all right to look on the
bright side, and hope for things as
we would like them; but it is folly
to try to deceive ourselves as to the
real conditions that do exist. The
government at Washington, we are
told is making military plans looking
as far ahead as 1920.
1t is also the height of folly for us
to get feeling that we are having
hard times in this country, with the
High Cost of Living, the Wheatless
and Meatless days, and the Increased
burden of taxation. 1t is foolish to
give even place for a suspicion in
our imagination that the amounts
asked for in Liberty Loans is excess
sive. Why, we haven't started yet,
and the fact of the matter is, we
haven't commenced to self sacrifice
at all and our sufferings haven't
even begun. If we could even
imagine the real conditions as they
exist in some of the war ravaged
countries of Europe, we would be
ashamed of ourselves to complain Of
our own condition. The time may
come, and probably will, before this
war is over, when we must sacrifice
to the limit. In the meantime, let us
be sane, courageous, and ready for

saly. We must win the war, but it
is not won yet, not by q "Jug F,'
We might just as well make up our
minds to get ready for real war and

1t is a notorious fact that many
of us are driving automobiles who
can't afford to own one. There is a
fascination some way about an auto
mobile that cannot be resisted.

other sacrifices they may have to

WOMEN SUFFERERS
 NEED SWAMP-ROOT

Thousands upon thousands of wo- men have kidney and bladder trouble and never suspect it.
 Women's complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease.
 If the kidneys are not in healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased.
 You may suffer a great deal with pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness and may be despondent and irritable.
 Don't delay starting treatment Dr. Kilmer's SwampRoot, a physicians prescription, obtained at any drug store, restores health to the kidneys and is just the remedy needed to over come such conditions.
 Get a fifty cent or one dollar bottle immediately from any drug store.
 However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co.,, Binghamton, N. Y., for a sample bottle. When writing be sure and mention the Bridgeport Daily Farmer.--Adv.

WOMEN'S BEAUTY
 SLEEP CUT SHORT

Sleep! to the homeless, thou art

 The friendless find in thee a friend; AnldI we'll is she whereso'er she roams.
 Who meets thee at her journeys end"
 Have you heard of the movement to snatch off an hour of your beauty day? "Why waste an hour of the early morn in ruthless slumber' cry those who are not bTead-winners, in the full sense of the word. Husky young men may not mind getting up an hour earlier, and going forth to their employment. But the woman, whose daily bread is realized from her employment, is not so easily adjusted to such. a confusing change. She who must be at her place of business by eight in the morning, cannot afford to finger in bed longer than six-thirty. Not being a lightning change artist, she cannot possibly get on her clothes, and arrange her nasty toilet in less than half an hour. She doesn't have one moment to dawd1e before her mir TOT to see that her hat is on straight and her veil catches her stray locks. If her breakfast is all ready to sit down to, cereal, coffee, egg and a roll, half an hour slips by in disposing of it before she realizes it. Not one wo- man out of ten is lucky enough to se- cure employment within walking dis tance of where she lives. The average bread-winner is obliged to catch a car. Between waiting for it. and, the time it takes her to reach her destination, half an hour at least, is consumed. She rusheS 1orea t1llessly to the factory. or shop, on the last moment afowed to it's employees. The change of our standard time which the powers that be are trying to establish, means call ing five o'clock in the morning, six o'clock, and so on during all the fol- lowine hours of the day.
 The object is, to arouse the world one hour earlier than has been it's wont so that all work may be accom- plished in sunlit hours. This would mean that all work would end an hour earlier in the afternoons. This sunlit hour, they can make much of. This sounds good in the reading. But to women who are already tired from .toil this may mean an added hardship to their already harasSed lives. If anything, working women need an ex-
  tra hour for sleep, or tending to their little duties before they go to business. If they know they are obliged to get Up an hour sooner, that will send them to bed an hour earlier on a hot sum- mer night They cannot get to sleep one whit sooner than the hour they have been accustomed to dropping off The habit of restless tossing when it once fastens itself on a nervous, na- ture, is able to chase sleep away alto gether The 'extra hour,'' in it's ob- servance has it's Drawbacks The ef- feet of the loss of sleep of an hour a morning, six days a, week, will not tend to make the working woman brighter, and fresher for each suc- ceeding weeks toll.

Constantino- vich, a Russian officer she tilted him in order to marry his cousin, Prince Milan, who was to have been best man at the ceremony. Queen Ma tahe was woman of great beauty and charm, but her married life was very happy. The King could not obtain possession of her fortune which he coveted, and this led to an arrangement, which was made worse by the fact that Queen Natalie was pro-Russian in her sympathies, while King Milan favored Austria and Ger many. Natalie at last fled from Ser bia and sought refuge in Germany, but the Kaiser's police tore her son from her arms and sent him back to Bel grade

DISTRUST HIM WHO SPEAKS
 SNEERINGLY OF OTHER GIRLS

Alice c. writes: T have a beau (my first one) and I like him immensely, except for one thing-he speaks slight ingly of every girl he has ever gone with My aunt says he will speak just the same of me if we quit going to- gether-and I couDdr ont bear that. I always speak and act the incest l know how when in his company. Can any girl do more to win and retain for all time his high esteem? Your opin ion would be highly appreciated r A man who speaks disrespectfully of women has little regard for the entire sex. A petticoated earth-angel could hardly be expected to escape rude re- marks passed about her by this man. It would be wisest to resent such slurs expressed in your presence by main taining a dignified, silence concerning the islanders, refusing to discuss them, turning the unpleasant conversatio into another channel. Be very careful to give no occasion to comment unfa,- vOrably concerning you.

Serbia has had no queen since the tragedy of 1903, when King Alexan- der and Queen Draga were assassinat- ed in their palace by officers of the army Queen Draga had been a woman of the street before she was elevated from the gutter to the throne by the half mad and despotic Alexan- der, the last of the Obrenovitch dyn- asty. The present Serbian monarch, Peter I. of the Karageorgevitch dyn- asty married princess of Montene- gro, who died years before he was recalled to Servia to assume the roy sl crown.

 It was estimated that 1t would re- quire six mcn4ts to complete our prep arations in view of the fact that the utmost secrecy must be maintained to keep the project from the ears of Eat Arras.
 Kantos Kan was confident now that the mans ambitions were fully aroused and that nothing short of the title jeddak of Helium would satisfy him.
 "I doubt,' he said, If he would even welcome Dejah Thoris' return, for it would mean another nearer the throne than he. With you and Carthoris out of the way there would be little to prevent him from assuming the title of jeddak, and you may rest assured that so long as he is supreme here there is no safety for either of you.'
 '"There is a way" cried Hor Vastus, "to thwart him effectually and for ever"
 "What?" I asked.
 He smiled.
 ''I shall whisper it here, but some day shall stand upon the dome of the temple of Reward and shout 1t to cheering multitudes below"
 What do you mean?" asked Kan fos Kan.
 "John Garter, jeddak of Helium," said Hor Vastus in low voice.
 The eyes of my companions lighted, and grim smiles of pleasure and antic- ipation overspread their faces as each eye turned toward me questioningly. But shook my head.
 'No, my friends" said, smiling: 'T thank you, but it cannot be-not yet at least. When we know that Tardos Mors and Mors Kajak are gone to re- turn no more, if l be here then, shall join you all to see that the people of Helium are permitted to choose fairly their next jeddak
 Whom they choose may count upon the loyalty of my sword, nor shall seek the honor for myself. Until then Tardos Mors is jeddak of Helium and Eat Arras is his representative"
 "As you will, John Carter,' said Hor Vastus. "But-what was thatw he whispered, pointing toward the win dows overlooking the gardens.
 The words were scarce out of his mouth ere he had sprung to the bal cony without.
 There he goes!" he cried. "The guards! Below there! The guards!'

1t will mean civil war, for he will at- tempt to thwart us, and in that will not be thwarted. There would I turn against Tardos Mors himself were it necessary.
 eff 1t throws all Heiium into bloody conflict shall go on with these plans to save my princess. Nothing shall stay me now short of death, and should die, my friends, will you take oath to prosecute the search for her and bring her back in safety to her grandfather's court?''
 Upon the hilt of his sword each of them swore to do as had asked.
 It was agreed that the battleships that were to be remodeled should be ordered to Hastor, another Heliumetic city, far to the southwest. Kantos Kan thought that the docks there, in addition to their regular work, would accommodate at least six battleships at a time
 As he was commander in chief of the navy, 1t would be a simple matter for him to order the vessels tiere as they

 I am a woman of 40. I have three children. My husband has gone away, breaking his pledge to do what was right and make a home for us. I love him dearly. How can I get him to come home anld live with us?
 MRS M McG.
 It is a pitiaib1e state of affairs when a husband and father has to be thus importuned to fulfill the vows he made at the marriage altar-to cleave to the woman, until death. If you and his needy children have not the power to attract and bind him to his home there seems little hope that advice from any source can help you. Get the children to write him constantly, urging him to return and help mother keep them and the home together This will touch his heart, and bring him back when all else fails.

It was late that night before our con- ference broke up, but each man there had his particular duties outlined, and the details of the entire plan had been mapped out
 Kantos Kan was to attend to the re modelling of the ships. Tars Tarkas was to get into communication with Thark and learn the sentiments of his people toward his return from Dor.
 If favorable, he was to repair imme diately to Thark and devote his time to the assembling of a great horde of green warriors whom it was our plan to send in transports directly to the valley Dor and the temple of Issus while the feet entered Omean and de- stroyed the vessels of the Black Pi- rates.
