road commissioners that where fifty
per cent of the travel over the main
highways RAJ by motor driven
vehicles, these roads should be kept in
excellent condition. He stated that
the roads now out Of New York. Phil
adelphia. Detroit and Chicago, had
been cleared and made passable for
motor driven vehicles. 1t was only a
question Of, time, said this official,
until the horse drawn vehicle will be
practically eliminated on our high
ways. This will benefit the farmer,

For with the present cost of feed. if

FAIR PLAY ABOVE VICTORY
Canadian Soldier Generous In Seeing
That Opponent Should Have His
Right Chance TO Shoot.

Tn an obscure Los Angeles suburb
lives a blind man. The following is
one Of the many stories he tells of his
experiences:
It was in the early nineties that o
picked team of American riiemen
had gone into Canada for friendly
contest with the Queens Own.
The competition had been fierce and
the score close when the last American
rifleman laid down at 500 yards. He
had to make % to tie and "a to win
out Of a possible %.
4 great crowd had gathered to watch
the contest, and had gradually closed
in behind the firing station until there
was very little space left for the rifle
man.
The first four shots scored the bulls
eye, counting 20. With his last shot
he had to make 8 to tie and a tt
win. The excitement was intense,
and the air was charged with the
magnetic stiffness of repreSSed excite
ment, as the commanding officer OF
the Queens Own stepped forward ant
called out Get back there and give
the man a fair show. How can he
shoot with you standing on top of
him?"
The crowd fell back, the American
fired, and the indicator recorded
other bulls eye, making his score %.

GLADYS Parker. aged ls years, daugh-'

Gladys Parker, aged 16 years, daugh-
ter of Mrs. Carrie Hooper, of Martins
burg, confessed to United States Com
missioner Harry A. Downs that she had
appropriated two checks for S41.oo
each, sent her by her soldier brother,
Stacey Parker, from Camp Shelby,
Miss, to his wife, Mrs. Mary Elizabeth
Parker, and which were intended for
the support of the young wife while her
husband was engaged in military SER
vice for his country. Young Mrs.
Parker made her home with Mrs.
Hooper and Gladys Parker early in the
year, and received two checks from her
husband. Wishing to establish her own
home on the allowance furnished her
BY her husband, she removed from the
Hooper home. Later she was inform
ed by Gladys that for three months she
received no checks. Federal officers got
hold of the matter, and Gladys was ar
rested. She admitted taking two Of the
checks, sent to the old address by mail,
and says she forged the name OF her
sister-in-law to them, so she could get
money with which to purchase good
clothes and have "good time" She
had spent the money for various articles
that appealed to the feminine eye. She
was sent to Jail in default Of ST 900 bond
to await the action Of the Federal grand
jury at Elkins, in July.

Ace Of Fishes.

The most striking characteristic by
which fishes of different ages can he
distinguished is their size. But the
size affords us only the means to esti'
mate the age of younger fishes; as to
the older, it cannot serve us as an in
dlcation of their age, since theil
growth may vary according to the diff
ferent conditions of nutrition, so thai
often the younger fish will excel III
size the much older fish. There Is
however, at least as regards the fishes
of the Northern seas, a sure indica'
ton that betrays their age. 1t Is the
otolites, or ear stones. These cal
stones grow as long as the fish Itself
continues to grow, and form annual
rings in the manner Of trees. The
more annual rings shown by a fish's
ear stones the greater its age. In
this way the age of fish can be ex
actly determined.

Better Balanced Farming in South.

Here is good news from the agricul-
tural front in South Alabama. Four
years ago not carload Of hogs was
shipped from II counties in that Sec
ton of the State. In the year ending
April 1, 1918, 2,352 carloads Of hogs
were shipped from these II counties.
This change, illustrating the better bal
anced agriculture made necessary by
boll-weevil ravages, is accredited by Of
ficials of the States Relations Service
to the efforts Of the county agents of
the Department and the State agricul-
tural colleges in demonstrating hog pro-
duction to farmers and showing them
how to ship hogs comparatively.

A visit to the laboratory where this
success, al remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reh-

which attends the making OF this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUD-
stances are at their best. g,
The most successful solvents are USED
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes IN
contact with the medicine is sterlllzed
and as a final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized ano sealed

It is the wonderful combination of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
