II You Own a Walnut Tree These Days
YOU'RE In Luck

Walnut, walnut, walnut. That Is
what your Uncle Sam is looking for
Just at present, says the Popular Science
Monthly for May. What does he want
it for2 Why gunStocks. Walnut is
and always has been the wood par ex-
cellent for the manufacture Of stocks
It is easy to work, will not easily crack,
and will not splinter
In spite OF the enormous demand
which has always existed and exists
now more than ever. there is any
amount OF the wood to be got. so long
as you are willing TO pay the price.
The reason for this is that in the tim
Der countries, as thev hav. become
more and more sct.cd the inhabitants
have sought TO beautlfy their land and
homes, and consequently, lacking the
urging OF necessity. hove absolutely
refused TO sell their trees patriotism
Now under the spirit of patriotism,
people are sacrificing these grand old
landmarks to the service Of their coun-
try, and consequently the government
is getting all the walnut it needs.
The boys are getting iirst-class stuff
too Uncle Sam lays down standards
and when he's laid them down he
sticks to them like glue. The conse-
quence is that in this case the stocks
are all cut from God wood, properly
selected and seasoned, and with the

German newspapers which have
reached the United States contain the
text Of an extraordinary speech de
livered by Herr Heliierioh a fortnight
ago a, Stuttgart II is the most vio-
lently anti British uttcranCc that has
been made by any German minister for
long time past Presumably Herr
Hcliicrich is angry at the disclosure by
DR.. Muhlon OF his colluslon with the
kaiser in planning the war, hut IT must
also be remembered that he is the min
lister appointed to arrange the economic
terms OF a German peace"
After some talk about "Germany's
good conscience" Herr Helfierich said .
But for England there would have
been no world. war. England felt her
self injured not by any sort on chal-
lenge or threat on our part, but merely
by our peaceful development In the
course OF the last decades We had out
grown England IN important industries,
Our development was nece1ity--not
false ambition or cold coyetousness, but
honest hard work ''' The English
who talk so m, ch about freedom mean
the freedom Of the British; the free
dom OF others they recognize only with
IN the limits set by subjection to Brit
iSh domination"
Herr Helfferich, in spite OF Dr. Muh-
Ions disclosures, went on to declare
that England seized the opportunity
provided by the Serajevo murders to
appeal from peaceful labor to the force
of arms" lie declared that thence
forward Germany was fighting "the
cause Of the world" against British
domination" lie proceeded:

Alsace- Lorraine or even the left bank
Of the Rhine from us have for us no

there are momentous injuries TO Ger"

\ FRIENB'S TRIBUTE
To the Memory OF Mrs. w. j.
Miliigan. .

Many eyes were dimmcd and many
hearts sorrowcd when the news was
received here few days ago that the
spirit Of Mrs. Milligan had passed to
the Other shore.
Mrs. Milligan is most pleasantly re-
mcmbcred by the older citizens Of
Laurcns, as Mrs. John lC. Wilkes, who,
before her marriage to Mr.. Wilkes,
was Miss Carrie Wells, of Port Jar
Wis, n. Y. In her young girlhood her
father brought her south in quest of
a mildcr climate and for several years
resided in Grcenville, where she was
restored to perfect health and it was
during her residence in Grccnvillc
that she met and married DR.. Jno f..
Wilkes and afterwards moved to bau-
rcns where Dr. Wilkes opened up a
drug and book store. And ii was
while the deceased was resident OF
our town that our people came to
know her and to appreciate her many
virtues OF mind and heart, and to ac-
cord to her full praise for that pro
grcasivc spirit which she at all times
manifested in every movement that
was for the progress and uplift of our
! little city. In all matters Of love ana
charity she was easily the leading
| spirit in every such undertaking. Her
good business tact and cordially made
|
occasion had for its object charity
church work, or Just a general good
time" for the young people. she en-
tered into her mission with zest ant
skill, and up to the time that she bad'
us all goodbye" to return to hel
former Northern home, she had never
made a failure.
Nor was her life in every other par
ticular failure. If scattering sun
shine in the pathway of others
comforting the sorrowing and show
ing others the better and sunny side
life be one Of the prerequisites OF
God-servng, self-sacrificing womaI
we can truthfully say she filled a
these requirements most faithful.
BY nature kind and gentle, she was S
considcratc Of others that no gil
however obscure, was ever afraid
being a Wall-lower", nor was ar
bashful beau neglected at any entc
tainmcnt or gathering given under n

DANISH CATARRH
Breathe Hyomei Two Minutes and
Stuffed Up Head Will Get Relief

If you want to get relief from ca
tarrh, cold in the head or from an
irritating cough in the shortest time
breathe Hyomei.
1t will clean out your head freely.
Hyomei will end cold in one day.
1t will relieve you of disgusting
snuffles, hawking, splitting and often
sive breath in a week.
Hvomei is made chiefly from a
soothing, healing, germ killing anti
septic. that comes from the eucalyp-
tus forests of inland Australia
where catarrh, asthma and consump-
ton were never known to exist.
Hyomei is pleasant and easy to
breathe. Just pour a few drops into
the hard rubber inhaler, use as di-
rected and relief is almost certain.
A complete Hyomei outfit, includ-
ing inhaler and one bottle of Hyomei
costs but little at druggists every
where and at The Penny Drug Store
If you already own an inhaler you
can get an extra bottle of Hyomei
at druggists. 1t

SEED CORN EXPERT is HERE

Mr.. Frank Leslie Russell, of Rich
mond, has succeeded District Farm
Agent Thomas H. Collins here in the
seed corn testing work and he can be
found at the courthouse during his
stay, which will probably cover a
month. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Russell to hold various community
meetings in the county and he will
do all in his power to prevent any
seed corn being planted that will not
freely terminate. Mr.. Rsssell has
had much experience in testing corn
and our farmers can rely on his
work. No charges are made by him
for his work, Uncle Sam and State
College paying him for his services.
1t is urgent that a great corn crop
be raised and it is hoped that no far
mer of this good county will be so
foolish as to plant corn that he is
not certain will "bring forth good
fruit" The Interior Journal has
known Mr.. Russell for many years
and takes pleasure in endorsing him
as a gentleman, as we'll as being
qualified in his line of work. He will
address the farmers at the court
house at 2 p. M, Saturday.

CROWD BIG; BUSINESS SLOW

"A big crowd attended Lancaster
court Monday but business was not
brisk in any line. There were some
good cattle on the market and they
sold well, but aside from them there
was not much doing in the capital of
Garrad. 10 first class mules were Of
fered but quite a number of second
raters went at fair price. Seed corn
was the topic of conservation of ev-
cry gathering and a strenuous eff.
fort is being made to secure corn for
seeding purposes that will certainly
terminate. Mr. Thomas H. Collins,
who was here in the interest of the
seed corn problem, spoke to an in
terested crowd at the courthouse. 1t
was decided by farmers that pig clubs
would be organized all over the coun-
ty by the boys. The banks have
agreed to lend boys money to buy
pigs and let them pay the money
back at selling time. A majority of
the boys will buy Red Berkshires, the
hogs that attract so much attention
at the Lincoln County Fair each
year.
