THURSDAY, APRIL 4, 1918

The farmer is up against peculiar
situation. He is asked to produce bum
per crops and his help problem is in
the worst possible condition. He feels
that during much OF growing season
and during harvest time he must nave
ample help. He, also, realizes that
when the work Of saving big crops
presses experienced help is needed be-
cause his hands are full. He shrinks
from using green help because he
knows he has not enough time to try to
train them.
But he should remember when he is
confronted with the using OF boys and
men who have not had experience in
farm work that he is pot the only per
son striving TO do business under SER
ious handicaps. With the army and
navy taking the cream of the young
men into the fighting ranks, every man
who uses labor, skilled or unskilled,
mas nau W ~ luDu blO buolbboo VI u OIL
ing help. OF COURSE, the farmer does
not relish breaking a few boys from
some city into farm work, but in Eng.
land the farmer has had to train and
use girls and women. The farmer who
is patriotic will take up notch In his
belt and use what labor he has and
train extra labor as needed.
He will remember the country is at
war and he will also remember he has
a big portion in making it success.
The boys are being trained in camps
for fighting by experienced officers. 1t
is up to the farm ers to train another
group if necessary to fight in the pro
duction for the boys in the trenches
under the flags of the United States
and her Allies.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear
There is only one way to cure catar-
rhal deafness, and that is by constit-
utional remedy Catarrhal Deafness is
caused by an infamed condition Of the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube is ipflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing,
and when 1t Is entirely closed, Deaf
ness is the result. Unless the inilam-
nation can be reduced and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever. Many
cases OF deafness are caused by catarrh,
which is an inilamed condition of the
mucous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Me-
decline acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case Of Catarrhal Deafness that
cannot he cured by Halls Catarrh Me-
dicne. Circulars free, All Druggists,

The Mystery Gun.

The mystery gun is the greatest sur
prise the Germans have produced in
this war. The Zeppelin is German
war machine, but it was not a surprise.
The Teutons have developed the sub
marine and the airplane, and they first
employed poison gas and flame throw
ers in this struggle, but until now they
have perfected no mechanical wonders
that upset previous military calcula-
tions, such as the tanks. An except
may be made in case OF the "big Ber-
thas," used in Belgium in the early
stages OF the war. Their destructive
power was surprising, but the gun has
not since been largely used. In one re-
spect, however, the use of the "mys-
terry gun" corresponds to all the other
Teutonic war devices. 1t is one more
instrument OF destruction that can be
used in attempting to spread terror
among civilians.
II the Germans had a practical piece
OF ordnance capable of doing real mill
tary damage at the unprecedented dis
lance of seventy-fve miles it would
seem that by developing it they could
win the war without such enormous
sacrifices. The dropping Of shells into
Paris at twenty-minute intervals serves
no such purpose. From all accounts
the Parsians, despite the critical sit
uation at the front, ere not yielding to
panic. Already they seem to have dis
counted this new form OF barbarism.

Tobolsk, a Trade Center.

At one time Tobolsk was the capital
Of western Siberia, and an important
station for the detention of political
prisoners. 1t is fortunately situated,
near the junction of two important riv-
erS, one of them the Tobol from which
1t takes its name. Not far away lie
the ruins of an even older city, which
dominated the region before the Rus
slams conquered it. Tobolsk itself was
founded by the Cossacks and built
largely by the labor of political pris-
oners and prisoners of war. 1t has a
single cathedral, inclosed within n high
lowered wall, built in imitation of the
kremlin in Moscow by Swedish pris-
oners of war. The ambitious idea of
initiating the thousand churches of the
Kremlin in far off Siberia never got
farther than this first cathedral. The
rest of Tobolsk is a typical little 81
berian city, with so-called palace and
wide grass grown streets bordered by
low wooden houses. There are few
shops and banks of more ambitious
structure, for Tobolsk is the center of
quite a trade.

PhiIippines Need Tractors.

Long-continued ravages Of rinderpest
have greatly reduced the number of
carabao in the Philippines, writes a
correspondent. The continued expan-
sion of agriculture in the islands,
therefore, will create good demand
for light farm tractor to be sold at
a reasonable price. Purchases Of heavy
tractors which sell at high prices will
be limited to a few of the larger haci-
endas, but the market for light tractors
for small planters and cooperative
groups will be general. No such trac-
tor so far introduced into the islands
has been satisfactory.
