Ben. p. Fleming, constable Of Ma

at Wood & Sons Drug Store, and they
have been of great benefit, At times

ARE ADVERTISED MEDICINES
WORTHLESS?

There is no more reason to con-
denim all advertised medicines than
there is to condemn all physicians or
all druggists. Fakes there are in eV-
cry profession and in every trade, but
they do not last long. Take a medi-
cine like Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound, the true test of its
merit is the fact that for forty years
it has been relieving women of Amer
lea from the worst forms of female
ailments constantly growing in popu-
larity and favor, until it is now recog-
nized from ocean to ocean as the
standard remedy for female ills.

COUNTRY PEOPLE
ATTEND CHAUTAUQUA
Chautauqua Has Been Maysyille Al
fair Now Becomes n Mason COun-
ty Institution With Many
Farmers Take Much
Interest.

The country people of this and ad-
joining counties have been support
ing the Maysville Chautauqua this
season in fine fashion. Folks who live
on the farms now have their own au-
tomobiles and can run in to the city
when ever they feel like it and can
come to town for the Chautauqua and
return the same evening.
The general use of the automobile
has almost revolutioniZed life on the
farm and one of the things it has
done is to make it possible for the
country people to have the same ad-
vantage in attending the Chautauqua
that the city people have.
This was noticed in the pledges for
season tickets to the next season
Chautauqua for Maysville. The COM
mittee reports that a great number of
country people subscribed literally
to the guarantee which will make II
possible for our town to again have
the talent offered by the Coit-Alber
Chautauqua company.
With the large number of country
people attending the Chantauqua has
been changed from Maysville affair
to Mason county affair and it is to
hoped that all of the people of the
entire country round about will take
a great interest in the next seasons
program Just as they have this season
and they appear to be getting ready
to do next season.

SCHOOL BOYS MAKE
GOOD ON FARMS
Boys Working Reserve VIII Prove a
Great Help Not Only to Farmers
But TO the Boys Themselves.

Many of the boys who signed cards
in the Boys Working Reserve are
now being employed on farms in this
section it was learned yesterday and
even more of the school boys have
made application for work during the
rest of the summer months.
Prof. Dale, who is chairman for this
work, has left the city for some time
and the matter has been left in the
hands of Secretary Carl Dodds, of the
Maysville Chamber of Commerce, who
will be able to give it considerable
attention now.
On Wednesday there was twelve
year old boy made application at the
office of the Chamber of Commerce
for work and Mr.. Dodds will be glad
to hear from any farmer who needs a
boy of this age to work in the food
crops.
The boys are receiving good wages
for their work and farmers who have
taken some of them report that they
are giving perfect satisfaction in ev.
cry way and are well worth the price
they are being paid. The most of the
boys are working in the food crop but
some few have agreed to work in the
tobacco during the rush season.
1t is expected that when school
again opens it will be found that the
Boy Working Reserve has been a
great success in every way for the
boys and for the farmers as well.

Third Liberty Loan
BY Celia Louise crittenton

Seriously considered, with insight
and understanding. the Third Liberty
Loan means but one thing-stability.
The unifcation of Government and
people.
The much or little which the peo-
pie place at the hands of the Govern
ment, proportionate to what they pos
sess, will have behind it not alone
the voice of the people but as well
the united will and force of the peo-
pie against a war which threatens to
engulf the whole national family.
We are being just to ourselves II
we place our money where it is safe.
And we are living up to the dictates
Of our national conscience, which also
is our family conscience.
The most safe and reasonable in,
vestment possible is with our Govern
ment. For the Government is but
ourselves viewed through the magni
flying glass.
II we we're born in the United
States we love our birthplace. It Il
home. If we were allowed to adop
the United States that offered to u
more than our expressing birth-coun
try; offered to us more freedom,
wider scope, then through that adop
ton we have gained a Privileg
worthy Of even greater devotion ant
love.
So, let US all be glad that a Thir,
Liberty Loan is pending. 1t is a goo
sign that we trust ourselves, that W
are ready depositors in the ProtectiU
Bank Of Home.
Keep the home fires burning" /
no light slogan, lightly spoken. Onl
when the fire is quenched by a bonn
dropped down through the home
chimney, can we fully realize hoy
precious and priced is that cherishe
and cheerful fame.
We must not and shall not wal
for that.
The Third Liberty Bond awaits U
and we are ready.

THRIFT STAMP CAMPAIGN
AWAY BEHIND SCHEDULE
Better Work Will Have to Be Done ii
Expectations Are Met.

Idaho is behind on Thrift Stamps,
and Power county is near the bottom
OF the list. Less fortunately situated
than many of the counties with only
nine ~postoffices and six of them serv-
ing small communities, it was to be
expected that we would have difficult
ty in keeping apace with the more
thickly settled and wealthy counties.
But we are further behind than was
anticipated.
The schools have made c%reditable
records, but thrift stamps are not for
school children alone. They are for
adults, and for children below school
2 In order to meet our apportion-
ment it is necessary to take $1.40 per
month per capita, and not a single
county has done so. Power county has
rot taken so cents per capita for the
entire four months period during
which the stamps have been on sale.
Following is the standing of the
counties. The first column gives the
estimated population, the second the
amount of sales. and the last column

FARMERS! THIS is
YOUR WAR. BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
Success Of Teutonic Arms Spells
Despoliation for Ameri-
can Producers

Let us think for a while how the
war concerns the farmer.
We went to war with Germany
partly because the ruArs of that
country refused to let us send to
Europe our ships laden with grain
and cotton. They sunk the ships and
cruelty murdered our sailors. Now
suppose we allowed them to stop all
our shipping, where would you be?
None of your goods would be sold
In foreign countries, with the result
that you would get nothing like the
prices which you get today. This war
is being waged partly that you may
obtain fair prices for your goods.
What is going to happen If we
lose this war? Prices Of farm pro-
duce will drop; the Germans will
impose taxation upon you which will
cripple you for the next twenty years.
Worse than that, if the Germans get
over here, they will treat you in Just
the same wsy as they have the farm
ers of France, Belgium and Italy. In
these sections farm houses have been
shot to pieces, crops wasted and
burned; ven fruit trees chopped
down, the cattle stolen, the men sent
into slavery to work for German
masters, their ONE ill-treated in
ways that cannot be talked Of in
print, their little children have had
their hands chopped off in order that
they may fight or do any more
useful work again.
You may say such things will not
happen here" They said this in
France, in Belgium and in Italy. Such
things will happen here just as sure
as you are alive, unless we smash
the Germans so utterly that they are
unable to reach this country. The
German feet and the German army
will take just one week to get here
il we are beaten. They have made
up their minds that America shall
pay.
Is there a farmer who will stand
forward now and say, This war does
not concern me?"
You have money that you do moi
need at present. Loan it to the Gov
eminent at good interest; when you
want the money back again, you car
borrow on your bond, or sell It. Uncle
Sam will take care of your none,
until you need it and pay you interest
on it.
Go and buy a Liberty Bond to
morrow.
= Don't be a Stacker, and don't foo
: yourself with the idea that you ar,
too far away from the war for it t
hurt you. Remember 1914, when tn
> Germans upset the worlds shippine
and you took what you could get 70
your products.
Think of the twenty years starvs
tion prices ahead of you. in case W
are beaten.
This is your war, and if you won
get in it you deserve to lose you

We're two of the drafted men

Before we'd leave our mothers.
With a heart brim full Of love
For the men who volunteered
Still we think they're wrong to talk
About us. waiting to be cheered.
We thank them for the banquets;
Patriotic music sounded grand;
Yet we say in self defense
We we're not waiting for a band.
Twas fine of them to volunteer
To save our flag from harm,
But we were raising food stuff
Back home, down on the farm.
We planted a crop before we left
Fertile fields of growing wheat,
So when we reach the battle front
Well have something there to eat.
OF course. in every land
Some men will play the cur,
Never willing to do their bit,
But don't slam those that were.
We're proud of the volunteers,
And the courage that they show;
Still we're none the less courageous
Since we are forced to go.
We love Old Glory same as you;
Our country to us is dear;
We are willing to die for it.
Can you do more. Volunteer?
And should we die in battle,
In some far-off foreign land,
Will you mourn our loss the less
Cause we left home with a band?
If our comrades leave us sleeping
Wrapped within our country's pride,
Under which we've fought so bravely
And by it so nobly died,
viii you then, beloved comrades,
Marching home midst ringing cheers
Think of us as drafted comrades
Cause we weren't volunteers?
So let's live up to the flag, boys,
And the cause we're fighting for,
The right to live and die free men
In times of peace or al
And when the war is over,
If we fail to do u part,
Then to you, brave volunteers,
Well confess a towards heart.
Until then we are comrades;
U. S. soldiers brave and true;

For the old Red, White and Blue,
And when the Kaiser's dead boys,
