The Pasturelands.

If we should now have an early
Spring, after several months of snow
and ice, the wheat and grass would
come from under their protective
covering in excellent condition, and
nothing is more needed now than an
early Spring, which would permit
pastureage of livestock that other
wise must be fed longer on a heavy
ration of costly grain.
Oats have been selling around
s1.0O bushel for some time. Corn
has advanced until it is almost as
costly as wheat. In every State
there are thousands of non-produc-
tive or fixed" stock on farms,
such as work stock and driving tn
finals, not regularly used, which can
be taken care of more cheaply in
summer than in winter. The driving
animals, where their use is light,
can get along upon pasture alone,
and in European countries such an
finals have long been forbidden
grain during the pasture season. An
early Spring season in Kentucky
would mean an abundance of prime
pasture, which has been cached
under two feet of snow since early in
December. A mild March would be
worth millions in saved grain and in
hay, which was never as high as
now.

Paris People Should Not Wait Until
It Is Too Late.

The appalling death-rate from kid
ney disease is due largely to the fact
that the little kidney troubles are
usually neglected until they become
serious. The slight symptoms often
give place to chronic disorders and
the sufferer may slip gradually into
some serious form of kidney COM
plant.
If you suffer from backache, head
aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney Sc
cretions are irregular of passage and
unnatural, do not delay. Help the
kidneys at once.
Doan's Kidney Pills are especially
for kidney disorders-they act where
others fail. Over one hundred thous-
and people have recommended them.
Here's Paris case:
Mrs. Chas McCord, South Pleas
ant street, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills at different
times, getting them from Oberdor-
fer's drug store and 1 have found
them a splendid medicine. When
ever my kidneys have acted irreg-
ularly or my back has been weak
and lame, I have found box or so
of Doan's Kidney Pills has been suf-
ficent to cure me of the attack"
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. McCord had. Foster ilburn

Bringing Home The Bacon.

Human nature offers us two very
prominent classes. There is one
class that brings home the bacon"
The other comes home without any
bacon, but very optimistic, hopeful
and enthusiastic. The baconless
arrivals are always going to land
that bacon Tomorrow" There is
no tomorrow on the calendar of sue
cess. There is yesterday, but then
you can't use it. To-day is the only
day that you are sure Of To-day is
Bacon Day for the Bring-It-Home
Club. The only way a man can
bring home the bacon is to know
know where that bacon is, to know
how to get it, and to have his trans
portation facilities in working or
der to bring it home.
The road to a certain place is paw
ed with excuses fer not bringing
home the bacon. Andrew Carnegie
ries to hold the volumes of excuses
of this sort, if they were printed
and bound. The man who totes the
side meat to his domicile when the
evening shades are falling is the one
who started out in the rosy light of
dawn with the definite, grim deter
mination to attach himself to that
streak of lean-and-streak-of- COM
modify and return with the same in
HIS possession. The other man comes
home filled with talk and vain mag
iniDgs. He started to work with a
ready-made excuse. If you can't
bring home all the bacon in sight,
bring some of it. Then go back to-
morrow after the rest of it. Bring
home the bacon. Excuses won't

AS to whether one should walk alone,
or in company, authorities differ. For
instance, Robert Louis Stevenson said
that the only way to enjoy walk is
to take it alone. On the other hand,
Mark Twain declared that the chief
enjoyment of walk lies. not in the
walk itself, but in the talking that &C.

Smyrna times., 1918-10-23

Notwithstanding the Government
has guaranteed" a minimum price
for wheat, some of the grain produc-
ers find themselves compelled to sell
at price under that guaranteed"
because the government is not ready
to buy at the price promised. At the
same time, the unlimited price of cot
ton is pretty well maintained, and the
cotton growers are in a financial posi-
tion that enables them to hold their
product off the market for a still high
er figure. The President has assured
them that they need have no concern
about the price of cotton.

Smyrna made triumphant finish in
the Fourth Liberty Loan drive, which
closed Saturday night, by going "over
the top" in raising its quota of $780,
600. At first it seemed insurmount-
able and some feared Smyrna could
never raise it, but thanks to our pa
triotic citizens, the splendid work of
the WOmen's Canvassing Committee
and the Boy Scouts, this herculean
task was finished with high credit to
Smyrna, and with $4,000 more to
spare.

Smyrna has been peculiarly fortu-
nate in the "Flu" epidemic that has
been raging throughout the State.
There has been fewer cases here and
less deaths among Smyrna folks than
any town on the Peninsula. This has
been due to the promptness of the
Smyrna Board of Health in taking
every precaution against the spread Of
the disease. Surely Smyrna, in these
distressing times has much to b,
thankful for.

Peace may come overnight just as
war, and as new Congress is about
to be elected it behooves every
thoughtful voter to give serious con-
sideration to the legislation and the
men who will represent them after
the war. The next Congress will be a
Reconstruction Congress and it is i'm
portant that the labor situation
caused by the millions who will bC
thrown out by the cancellation of wal
orders be handled to best advantag,

Germany is fighting losing game.
The Allies are pressing them hard
with thousands of prisoners being
taken daily. Soon they will be driven
out of France and Belgium. They are
beginning to realize this. Hence the
spirit of unrest among the Central
powers. President Wilson has made
it plain to Germany and Austria what
they must do. It's either down with
Kaiserism, Militarism and autocracy
or war to finish.

Smyrna Town Council acted wisely
in responding to public opinion by put
ting the sprinkler on and allaying the
dust on the streets of Smyrna. The
sprinkler was taken off of regular SER
vice on October the first and the dry
days that followed made some streets,
especially Commerce street a veritable
cloud of dust. Dusty streets are bad
enough at best and especially annoy
ing to women in their early spring
and fall house cleaning which in most
cases are on either before the sprink-
Ter is put on or just after it is taken
off. But this year there was a greater
menace from dust than ever, the
menace of an epidemic from Influenza.
According to scientific research there
is no greater agency for carrying dis
ease germs than dust and filth. In
all cities there has been a campaign
waged for clean streets and clean sur
roundings. The dust which was
picked up by every passing vehicle
OF puff of wind was found to be a
menace in Smyrna and Council was
ready to accede to the demand by put
ting the sprinkler on.

cHAuIAUQUA ATTRACTION At WATER
PROOF.

The people of Waterproof have
contracted with the Radcliffe Chau-
tauqua System of Washington, d.
c., for several bookings OF leading
talent for March l, 2 and 3.
The Radcliff Chautauqua is per-
haps the largest and most prominent
entertainment bureau in the United
States, its motto being From Del
eware Bay to the Golden Gate. 1t
includes in its attractions the most
noted talent in the country.
1t is the purpose of the Waterproof
people to raise as large {. fund as
possible for benefit of the Red Cross,
and with that erd in view have ar
ranged for bookings that will cover
three days and will cost $3.50. 90.
Az stated all moneys realized above
this figure will be devoted to the
Red Cross fund. The Chautauqua
is equipped with tent and seating
accommodation for very large crowds
and both races will be welcome.
The attraction for the first day
will be DR.. w. H. Nation of Kansas,
who will lecture on the leading war
topics of the day and viii. ALSO de-
liver a sermon under the tent on
Sunday morning. DR.. Nation is a
splendid orator and should be heard
by every one.

servation expert will deliver the
authorized message of the United
States Food Administration, under
direction Of Mr.. Hoover, and will
present matters which the Food ADJ
ministration will have US consider.

will be devoted to Red Cross work,
with demonstrations and explana-
tions of the work of this great move
ment in connection with home nurs-
ing. helping the doctor and first
aid to the injured.
Unfortunately notice of the book
ing of this Chautauqua did not reach
the Gazette in time 70 enable US to
give the cause the advertisement it
deserves, but the entire affair is
under competent local management
and tickets will be sold in every
section of the parish. The enter
tainment will be high-class and in
structive and every one who can at
tend should do so, and those who
cannot should buy tickets to aid the
good work.
