A UNIQUE RECORD.
Very Few Like it In Our Broad Re-
nublic

Very Few Like it II In Our Broad Re-
Home testimony for Doan's Kid
ney Pills, published in every locality
is of itself convincing evidence of
merit. Confirmed testimony forms
still stronger evidence. Years ago,
a citizen of Charles Town gratefully
acknowledged the benefit derived
from Doan's Kidney Pills. The
statement is now confirmed-pfCGf
more convincing. Cases of this kind
are plentiful in the work of Doan's
Kidney Pills-the record is unique.
j. G. Elliott, prop. meat market,
LOG S. Charles St., Charles Town,
says: II suffered for some years
with kidneys and bladder trouble. |
had dull pain across my kidneys,
which came by spells. Sometimes
my back was very painful, espec-
tally when | was over-exerted. The
kidney secretions were unnatural,
too, and were scalding in passage
After using two boxes of Doa ms
Kidney Pills, yhe inflammation and
pains disappeared and my kidneys
became normal" Statement given
December %, 1902)
On December 10, 1916, Mr.. Ell
lott said: Il seldom have any tro-
ule withmy kidneys now, but at
times, there is uric acid poison in my
system. | always use Doan's Kid
ney Pills and they never fail to give
the same good results"
Price 60c. at all dealers Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Elliott had. Foster-Mil-

The annual meeting of the
Charles Town Chapter of the
American Red Cross will be held at
the Opera House, Wednesday, No
vember goth, at 2:30 p. m. Re-
ports from the branches and Auxil-
iaries will be made. A message
from the war Office, and a call to
the winters work will be read. All
the members of the Chapters are
earnestly urged to be present.
There will be an abundance of
work to do, and specific advises
will be given, but even at the mo-
ment of peace let no Red Cross
worker falter. Our spirits must
now call us to show that 1t is not the
roar of cannon or the blood of our
own alone that directs our activi-
ties, but that Jefferson County will
continue to respond greatly and
freely to its obligation and oppor-
tunity to serve mankind.

in the school Of bitter experience and
they have an incentive to win that the
minority party in most places cannot
comprehend, the very principles of
Liberty and the pursuit Of happi-
ness" Is their present fight, not tra-
dition. Escape from the things the
Hun is fighting to make possible in
the world is their hope and they nave
remained true to it when many others
have taken the easier route and join
ed the majority party,
The delegation will make q good
showing at Santa Fe, and the work OF
selecting candidates for the county Of
fees win be done BY later conven-
tion.
:. It was suggested to the Central
Committee that they hold the next
convention at Wagon Mound and have
the two ends Of the county meet in
the middle, They have taken 1t un-
der advisement.
Personally the editor feels that the
feeling of good fellowship shown by
all the people at Mora and the cour-
tesies extended us makes it all the
more our duty to 60 to it this fall and
work for complete victory in the
election, and no personal or sectional
differences shall divert us from that
purpose.

Roy has received notice Of
our first casualty in the war,
Pedro Gallegos son Of Camille
Gallegos, who owns a ranch at
Carrizo, has been missing in act
ion since August 10th and a
telegram was received by his
father to this effect from the
war department, Pedro went
with the company of boys who
left here the 18th Of last Sept
ember. He was a.fne young man
and there is no doubt that he
acquitted himself as a true
American Soldier, whatever fate
has befallen him. We had rather
know that hewas killed in act
ion than that he fell into the
hands Of the Huns and is endur-
ing 1--we know not what at
there hands.
Roy joins with the parents in
their sorrow but we are proud of
him as of.alIaur boys who are
fighting for Liberty.

Orrin Beatty, County Agent OF
Union County was in Roy last
week in the interest of the Cover
mentloans to farmers for plant
ing wheat, A meeting was
hastily called and held at the
Bank Friday morning and R, E,
Allredge, C. L. Wensell, Wm,G'
johnson and c. L. Justice were
made a committee to pass on the
loans.
Part of their duty is to see
that the land is in fit condition
for planting before they grant a
loan. The interest is 6 percent
and secured by a mortgage on the
crop.A sinking fund of l5cts q
bushel on alloyer 6 bushels per
acre is provided for to cover loss
-es of those who fail Of a crop.

about it ifyou want to kick in. "

The coming drives for Bonds.
Stamps and'ether war activities
are going to make some of us
ieawake nights. With all our
money spent for seed wheat and
other enterprises in trying to
boost production some of US are
going to have to sit back and be
called ""Slaekers". There are
those who might have saved their
money for bonds and stamps and
been classed as heroes and
patriots who will come in next
winter with something to feed
the soldierssand allies. There is
merit in both wheat planting and
bond buying but all of us can't
do both.

beneficial results made, even in
face Of the condemnation made
from time to time by Republican
Senators, and which results
have proven to the world the eff
ficiency Of our democratic form
of government.
That we recommend to our
delegates elected to khe State
Convention that they cast their
votes solidly for the nomination
Of Hon. W. B. Walton, of Silver
City N. M. for United States
Senator.
That the delegation elected to
the State Convention, by this con-
vention, be instructed to vote as
a unit on all nominations for
State Offices, to the end that the
balance of the State and the
people may know that the demo-
Gratis Of Mora County are united
for victory in the coming fall
election and are playing no favor
ties and have no pre-convention
arrangement.
That we deplore the sad death
of that grand man of Democracy,
Hon. Rafael Romero, who was
always fair and just in all things
and whose respect for the right
of even his enemies made for
him the friendship of all the
people Of this State and County.
That as the number of dele
gates to the State Convention
from Mora County is placed at
sixteen and as many of our good
Democrats are anxious to attend
the said Convention, we recon-
mend that thirty two delegates
be elected each delegate to have
one half vote.

RESOLUTIONS

We, the delegates elected 10
the Democratic County Conven-
tion held at Mora, N. M. Sept
ember 9th, 1918, IN convention
assembled do hereby resolve.
That under the guidance of our
President, Woodrow Wilson, the
attention Of the world has been
called to the greatest asset known
in the present age Of civilization
that Of real Democracy.
That the people Of the United
States have without hesitation or
delay rallied to the support of
our President, and have given
their flesh and blood have given
their money have given time in
order to demonstrated the world
that it does not require threats
Of death, or Imprisonment, TO
form into one complete body and
assist ii making the world safe
for delil0eracy.
That our representatives in the
United States Senate an1 House
of Representatives. namely, Sehatcr r
A. A. Jones and Congressman
EW. B. Walton, have from the
time they were duly constituted
members of those bodies been
consistently in accord with our
President and have voted in
every case in the interest Of this
great Republic and in the interest
Of the suffering people Of our
Allied States.
That, as true Americans, we
recommend that only such men
should be nominated as are
absolutely in accord with our
Allies, and who can be depended
upon to vote to protect the in
terest Of the United States and
our Allies, and to carry on this
war to a successful conclusion
and the defeat of that monstrous
diabolical organization, known
as Prussianism. ,
That every true and loyal
American should at the election
to be held November 5th. 1918,
vote the ticket nominated by our
State Democratic Convention to
be held in Santa Fe, for the
reason that it is inconceivable
that a Father, Mother, Wife,

Democratic Party, which Party /
has so ably conducted the vast
affairs of administering the
necessities Of this war, and which
Party has and will look after
even the minutest details toward
the soldiers and sailors and their
dependents.
InaJ we congratulate the mem
bers Of President Wilson'S Cabi-
net, and all the various heads OF
Departments established since
this war for the magnificent
manner in which they have at
tended the affairs connected with
their Offices, and for the actual
