"a number of our regiments have
suffered much but they have acquitted

During the whole action our troops,

"The Pennsylvania volunteers and
militia have acquitted themselves
with honor. They were in the heat OF

YALUABLE ADVICE
MaysvIlle Citizens should Profit BY
The Following Statement.


Doan's Kidney Pills we're used by
this Maysville resident.
Their merit was shown-the story
told.
Now comes further evidence.
The testimony is confirmed.
The remedy was tested--the results
lasted.
Could Maysville residents demand
stronger proof?
It's Maysville testimony. 1t can be
investigated.
A Sorries, lock and gun-smith, w.
Second and Wall Sts., gave the fol-
lowing statement In January 1912:
THE action of my kidneys was ire
gular and the kidney secretions con-
tanned sediment. / had backaches and
when l stopped over, l had trouble In
Strengthening up. Colds settled in my
back and kidneys, too. Doan's Kid
ney Pills stopped the trouble and my
back and kidneys became as strong
and we'll as ever"
A LASTING EFFECT
On November IA, 1916, MT. Sorries
said: II am the same strong believer
in Doan's Kidney Pills today, as when
gave my former endorsement.
haven't had any trouble with my kid
neys in that time and l believe the
cure they gave me will be perma-
nent"
Mr.. Sorries is only one Of many
Maysville people who have gratefully
endorsed Doan's Kidney Pills. If
your back aches - If your kidneys
bother you, don't simply ask for a
kidney remedy-ask distinctly for
DOANS KIDNEY PILLS, the same
that Mr.. Series had-the remedy
backed by home testimony. 60 cents

LETTERS TELL OF
BIGGEST BATTLE"
1O4 YEARS AGO
Calls Lundy's Lanes Losses Tremen-
dOus; 7i3 U. =. Soldiers Killed.

Portland, Ore-On the one hundred
and fourth anniversary of the battle
of Lundy's Lane, fought near Niagara
Falls in the war of 1912, between an
American army and soldiers of Great
Britain, 1t is interesting to compare
this battle with that on the Marine,
says a Hood River correspondent of
Portland newspaper.
The battle of Lundy's Lane, in
which 5000 Americans participated,
743 of them losing their lives, was
considered one of the hardest fights
Americans had ever been engaged in.
The oppositing British army lost S7S
men.
Incidents of the battle are recount
ed in an old letter, a copy of which is
held by S. F. Blythe, editor of the
Hood River Glacier and civil war vet
eran, who is a nephew of the writer,
Calvin Blythe.
While on a visit to Fairfield Adams
county, Pa, in 1890, Mr.. Blythe, who
now resides on Twin Oaks fruit farm,
made copy of the letter. The inter
esting century old document follows:
After informing you that Samuel
and are both well, hasten to inform
you of the most tremendous battle
that has ever been fought by the
American forces. Previous to my CIV
ing you an account of the engagement
l shall give you our army since l last
wrote you from Queenstown.
AT Queenstown we lay some days
in expectation of our fleet arriving at
Niagara.
1.-THE whole army then moved down
and encamped within bombcast of
Fort George, and then waited two
days, anxiously expecting the cooper
alton of the fleet. The fleet, however,
did not arrive, nor did it prevent the
army from receiving reinforcements
at Fort George.
Gen. Brown, disappointed in his
expectations of the fleet, and finding
all attempts upon the fort fruitless
without it, whilst the enemy was re-
ceiving continual reinforments, moved
his army back to Queenstown, and
from Queentown we moved again on
Sunday, July "a, and camped at Chip
pewa.
There we remained on Monday,
July %, when the enemy was discov-
ered few miles distant with a large
force in pursuit of u.s.
Gen. Scott Immediately marched
out with the First brigade to meet and
give them battle. He met the enemy
4 at the Falls of Niagara, about three
miles from our encampment, and the
action ocmenced about half after
o'clock p. M.
LAS soon as the firing commenced,
the whole remaining force, regulars
and volunteers, moved on to the ac-
| llOh' All "CiS lily ClSd6tu,
the battle continued with undated
fury until after II o'clock at night, a
space of more than five hours, during
which time was kept up most ire
mendous, almost unceasing fire.
after the firing ceased our army
moved back to their encampment and
the enemy remained near the field of
battle. From the circumstance of the
enemy remaining near the field. al
though at the time firing ceased they
had actually been driven from the
field, they may claim the victory, as
our troops did not again take possess
sion of the field

HOW WE CAN BUILD A
NEW METHODIST CHURCH
(By Rev. A. NJ. Wilkinson)

Last week we tried to show the
need of building a new church and
the value it would have to the Meth
odist people and to the whole com
munity. We now ask your consider
alton to another phase of the work.
How can it be accomplished? For it
is no easy task to push through a
large modern church plant. To do
the work we ought to do in this com
munity it will cost around fifty
thousand dollars to put up the plant
needed. In these times when the ex-
pense of living is higher than ever
and there are many calls for giving
what seems an impossible sum to Sc
cure for this purpose. 1t will require
work and sacrifice to do it but it is
not an impossible task at all. We

Canning Record for Seward County
The women of Seward County are
responding Unexpectedly well, in fill
ling out and sending in the record of
canned goods put up in our county.
Other counties take this record every
year, but we failed to fill out the
Government report last year, not hav-
ing statistics to base the report on.
When you receive the blank please
fill it out at once and mail it in the
franked envelope to the Government
woman in your county. Remember
the franked envelope needs no stamp
and any matter referring to Govern
ment work by the Agent can be sent
through the mail under the frank.
The canning clubs throughout the
county should make a special record
and girls should give figures on the
jars put up by them apart from the
family record. If we have a County
Club Exhibit in connection with the
Farmers Institute we will want more
fruit jars from the girls this year.
Clothing Conformation
Many of our women are not buying
new dresses this season because ma
terial is part cotton and the prices
are high. Most of us have several
dresses hanging in our closets that
are all wool and of no value for they
are out of style, and remodeling is
too difficult
We are planning now on having a
Remodel Clothes Course given here
with a Government lady specialist
as instructor. She will remain two
weeks. The Government pays her
wages and transportation.
All those who wish to register in
this course call the Government
agent, 470 and have your name put
on the roll. A class consists of
twenty only.
We are trying to secure Miss Mi
lam, state club leader, for sewing and
Government clubs to come to our
county. She organizes new clubs
and gives instructions as to the work
done by the clubs. The clubs have
not been fully organized in Kansas
and last year only darning and mend
ing lessons were sent out from State
headquarters. This year a full
course will be given. In January all
the club work is exhibited at the
Farm and Home Week at Manhattan.
If we can secure Miss Milan to
come and tell us what the course will
be, we can start the new years work
and strive to complete the garments
and exhibit them in January.

Being an editor these days is about
as bad as being a candidate for Con-
gress. There is a story out that the
editor of the Democrat is going to be
run out of town because he is a pro-
German. We do not know where the
story started, but if we find out, Guy
Bedford will sure have job of bury
ing-if he can find enough of the
party to bother to bury. Nobody but
dirty coward would undertake to
start or circulate such a story, and
we want to give him fair warning that
if we get him located he better keep
out of range if he values his hide.
