HoMING PIGEONS SAVE LIVES.

London, March 5 - Instances in which homing pigeons that have been carefully trained have been the means of saving lives and of bringing assist ance in case of urgent need are cited by the authorities as warnings against careless shooting of the birds. Cap tain Thomas Crisp. who died at the wheel of his vessel under fire from German submarine, lived long enough to send message by pigeon and the crew eventually were saved.
 On another occasion a hydroaero- plane got into difficulties in stormy weather and it was feared all lives would be lost. A pigeon was sent out with a message for help and, in face of fierce wind, the bird managed to make its way home. It died from exhaustion on arrival but it's message had been delivered, help was sent and the crew saved.

Nearly one thousand prominent people in one city alone have pub- Iicly testified in signed statements that Linonine cured them of coughs, solds, bronchitis and other forms of winter complaints that threatened their very existence. Other lhou- sands in other sections of the country have added their testimony, and all unite in proclaining Lfnonine the most ecective medicine of its kind known to science. Relief is wrought by removing the swellings and irrita- lions that cause the disturbances.

We have lost only one ad of
appreciable value; that Of the

loss is only temporary we are
assured, the ad being withdrawn
thru the summer months as a
matter Of business policy rather
than on account of the raise in

We feel that we have accom-

other paper in the county as
well, in getting our paper on a
business basis that will meet in

Nearly Total Eclipse of the sun

What will be practically a total
eclipse of the sun wiz occur visibly
to residents of Union County the
evening of June 8. The path of to-
tality Of this eclipse runs some dis
tance to the north of here and for
chat reason only some ninty- seven
percent of the suns surface will
be obscurred from people in this
vicinity. The eclipse is scheduled for
about three tirty O'Clock in the af-
ternoon. People are being cautioned
not to observe the eclipse too close

may follow failure TO heed the eau
ton advanced by men of science.
