On Pleasing Mother.

The effort at pleasing mother"
should be cultivated in the childish
heart. Early in life they should be-
gin the cultivation of thought and ef-
fort with reference to the gratifica-
ton of her wishes and of making
her happy. If they would do this
they would find daily opportunities
for speaking kind words and render
ing such helpful services and show
ing such noble traits of character Ia
dealings with others, as would glad
den the heart and tighten the cares
of mother in way too often thought
of. If boys, if girls, could but real
ize their Indebtedness to their
mothers, they certainly would
generally be very much anxious
about pleasing them. The great men
of the world, who have acknowledged
their Indebtedness to their mothers.
took delight in pleasing them. But
most of all their noble lives, the:r
courage in doing right and their
honorable achievements in public
life were especially pleasing to their
noble mothers. Hardly a higher
tribute can be paid to any young
mans success in life than cit pleased
his mother"

Turtle Soup.

A New Highlander writes to his ia
vorite journal to say that every pon'l
is full of swapping turtles, and that
turtle soup is not only edible, but
palatable, yet "in his locality" 1t is
not eaten.
Unfortunate locality, home of the
ignorant or at least the neSlectful.
Turtle soup is so great delicacy
that the sign Turtle Soup To-day
tempts the abstemious, to visit the
restaurants in any Kentucky town,
and it means swapping turtle, Oh
soft-shell turtle ten times in ten.
Nature made the mud turtle some
what hard to catch and much harde.
to dress, but when you have caught
him and gotten him out of his shell
you can make soup out of him if you
will; such soup that its excellence
makes even mock turtle soup sell.
You may also eat the turtle as you
would chicken, or pork, or beef, all Of
which he contains, according to any
old Kentucky uncle" and each va
riety of meat where a veteran turtle
eater can find it without the slight
est trouble.

How About Your Credit.

Can you get-anything you want to
buy on credit? In nine cases out of
ten the man who answers this ques-
ton affirmatively is a man who has
very little charged on the books Of
his local merchants. The man whose
credit is good uses it sparingly; pays
his accounts and has small occasion
to borrow from others.
Credit is not a favor. it is not an
implied compliment, but it is poor
business. In the first place, it is
poor business on your part because
it will lead you to extravaganza. You
will spend more money when you
charge things than when you reach
in your pocket and pay the fare as
you go. The merchants realize that
extended credit is poor business, too,
but that is their business alone. You
must take care of it; make other
people respect it and respect it your
self.

PATRIoilyM ON THE
AMERICAN FARM
BACK TO The LAND

1--WE can count to the utmost degree
on tho patric ism OF the American
farmer" Herbert Hoover said ina re-
cent conference with Food Administra-
ton workers. of the different states.
This was the message brought back
by the Kentucky representative who
attended the conference.
Food must first be raised before 1t
can be sent to American soldiers
abroad and their English, French, Bel
gian and Italian associates in war.
The only people who can raise food in
large quantities are the farmers, and
the Kentucky soldiers at Hattiesburg
and Camp Zachary Taylor are counting
on the folks back home producing the
largest food crop in the history of the
state.
People who live in cities and small
towns in Kentucky are asked to help
win the war by raising their own back
yard gardens. Every time city fam
lily raises a bushel of beans in garden
the Food Administration is enabled to
take a bushel Of beans from the farm
and send them to Europe. Gardeners
are urged to raise enough beans and
potatoes to last all next winter, and to
store them on their own premises.
The Food Administration announces
that the entire country east of the
Mississippi River would have been
short Of potatoes this last winter ex-
cept for this home supply raised in
gardens last year, but because they
were raised in gardens potatoes today
are plentiful and one Of the cheapest
foods in the market, and every one
should use them freely. The man who
can raise a garden this year, and does
not do so, will not only fail to help
win the war, but will be in actual
danger Of himself suffering for food
next winter.

Labor and the War.

The Eastern shipyard strike
brought two notable contributions on
the subject of labor and the war.
President Wilson declared "ships are
absolutely necessary for the winning
of this war;" that the strikers were
in painful contrast" to other work
ers, and were giving aid and comfort
to the enemy.
AS IL to prove this the American
Federation of Labor declared this is
labor's war" and must be won by
labor" After saying President Will
sons war aims were in adequate
harmony" with the views Of the Fed
Grafton the statement continues:
Give workers a decent place to
live, protect them against conditions
to take all their wages for bare eX-
istence. give them agencies whereby
grievances can be adjusted and in
dustrial justice assured. make it plain
that their labor counts in the win
ming of the war for greater freedom,
not for private profiteering and
workers can be confidently expected
to do their part"
President Wilson called attention
to the facilities available for wage
adjustment, affirming that mo BODY
OF men have the moral right in the
present circumstances of the ma
tion TO strike until every method OF
adjustment has been tried TO the
limit. He also notified labor every
where that he realized lit is the
duty of the government to see that
the best possible conditions of labor
are maintained, as ii is also its duty
to see to it that there is no lawless
and constituencies profiteering, and
that duty the government has &C
cepted and will perform"
We thoroughly approve both state
ments and think they could serve Is
a basis of progressive amelioration
of the labor problem. That labor
ing man has a right to expect bet
tered existence needs no argument.
Every man, no matter his rank as a
laborer, should he able to earn more
time there are obligations just as
important labor should not hesitate
to accept even in times of peace.
There are rights which the govern
ment must protect for all laborerS
and some returns in the way of un-
Interrupted service which labor
should guarantee the public.

IF I WERE A FARMER

III were a farmer / would keep
at hand a few reliable medicines for
minor ailments that are not so seri-
Gus as to require the attention Of a
physician such as Chamberlain's Co,iC

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy for
coughs, colds and Groups.
Chamberlain's Eminent for sprains,

Chamberlain's Tablets for stom-
