Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
oy local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the
ear There is only one way to cure
catarrhal deafness, and that is by a
constitutional remedy. Catarrhal
Deafness is caused by an infiamed
condition of the mucous lining Of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inf1amed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the re-
suit. Unless the Inflammation can
be reduced and this tube restored to
it's normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which
is an inflamed condition of the mu-
cous surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts thru the blood on the mu-
cous surfaces of the system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Catarrhal Deafness
that cannot be cured by Halls Ca
tarrh Medicine. Circulars free. All

Hunters Fair Most Successful

The eighth annual fair of the South
western Stevens County Association
was held in Hunters September 19,
20 and 21, the exhibits showing
that, undaunted by war conditions,
the farmers and stock men of this
section of the county are steadily in
creasing the quality of their agricul-
tural products and stock. The ex-
hibits were far from being as exten-
sive as usual, but the association was
of the opinion that the annual fair
should be kept up at all costs and the
farmers responded so well consider
ing the difficulty this year of leaving
their work to bring their products
for exhibit. j. M. Glasgow is pres
ident of the fair association and Elias
Nelson secretary.
Nestled in a green valley, the town
of Hunters with it's white buildings
has always been a picturesque spot
which has attracted large numbers
from considerable distances at fair
time. The Indians from the reserva-
tiOns add color to the scene with their
bright blankets and camp fires. The
attendance this year was not as large
as in former years, but Colvile, Che
welah and Ferry county people were
in evidence. The Chewelah band
furnished the music and it was con-
sidered rather remarkable because of
the youth Of some of it's members.
Among the judges were Prof. E. f.
Elliott of the department of agricul-
ture at the Colville high school, f. c.
Durdle county agriculturist, Miss Jen-
ME Mccormack of the domestic
science department and Joe Turner
of Meyers Falls, the well known
stock man. L. E. Stanard, assistant
county superintendent, judged the
school exhibit.
The agricultural exhibit showed the
variety Of fruit and vegetables which
are grown in the southwestern part
of Stevens county. Mrs. W. E.
Lockman was awarded the first prize
for the biggest collection of fruits
and vegetables, while Mrs. Lydia
Latta received the red ribbon for her
collection. There is always keen
competition for this particular pre-
MUM.
Some excellent corn was shown,
mostly the Yellow Dent, variety
which has been grown in that terri
tory for over IL years and has become
well acclimated. Some of the stalks
were about II feet in height. The
variety of large beautiful grapes in
the exhibit was a surprise to some of
the visitors, Niagara, Worden, Martha
and Sweet Water grapes being in
GUIDED in the collections. Large,
solid-looking cabbages, pumpkins, to-
matoes, melons, potatoes, apples,
peaches and other fruits and vegeta-
bles were of a high standard in quail
ity. =
The cooking and needlework dis
plays were not as large as in former
years. Some very dainty crochet
and embroidery work received blue
ribbons and the canned fruit and veg

AMERICA GOES WILD.
Greatest Celebration Country
Ever Has Known.
Frenzied Crowds Pack Streets O
Cities and Villages-Business
Forgotten.

Chicago. Nov. 12.-When darkness
fell last night and the dinner hour of
normal days impended, America had
just got a good running start on the
celebration which began with the
sounding of the victory sirens and
bombs early Monday morning and the
f1aring of skyrockets and fireworks.
But there was no such thing as din
ner hour last night, and there was no
place like home.
The usual order of evening traffic
was reversed. With the streets in every
city and town of the country SO packed,
it seemed wonder the crowds could
keep in motion.
BY sheer weight of their enthusiasm
the newcomers managed to find shout
der room in the streets and an active
part in the widest spectacle America
has ever staged, according to reports
coming from every part of the country.

DUTY TO HUMANITY TO COME
Secretary Lansing Issues Statement to
Country Warning of Great
Task Ahead.

Washington, Nov. r. Secretary of
State Lansing issued the following
statement:
"The American people can rejoice
that their patriotism, their loyalty and
their splendid spirit of service and
sacrifice have been rewarded. Prus-
sian militarism is ended; it no longer
menaces liberty and justice. But be-
fore us lie new tasks and new burdens
which we must assume with the same
unity of purpose, the same devotion
and zeal, as have characterized the re-
public during this great war. Let us,
while we celebrate this day OF vic
tory, look forward to the future con-
scious of our supreme duty to human
ity and confident in the united will Of
the nation"
