sixteen yearssOld. Then a bear killed
one of his fathers sheep, and he was
bemoaning the loss of the old woody,
when the son spoke up and said:
""Father, 1 will kill that bear for
you. He has done very wicked thing
and should be punished for It,"
""But, you are only boy" said
the father.
"'"I know it, papa, but I feel
greatness within. Let me take your

and became great in an hour. He saw
the bear and discharged load of
peach stones at him, and he not only

seven sheep at the same discharge.
He brought all the scalps to his fa-

him into the house and said:

What Moves Men.

ait is said that little George never
told a lie. This is a mistake. He
told three or four every day, and some
awful whoppers, but he lied as gently
rs he could, and there was no sin in
his heart when he lied. His father
had a favorite plum tree. 1t was
favorite because it never bore over
dozen plums at once, and because
every plum was wormy. One day
slave on his fathers plantation had
his ears cuffed for some impudence,
and he seized the ak and went out
and cut that plum tree down for re-
venge. Little George saw him do it,
but he was not boy to go and blab
everything out. When his old man
missed that tree, and demanded to
know who had cut it down, what did
little George do? He spoke right up
and claimed that he cut il down with
his little Ratchet to see If the Ratchet
had an edge on it. His father was
going to give him the darndest lick
ing a boy ever got, but, the fact that
little George had told the truth, when
he could have lied just as well as
not, appealed to the parent. He took
his son in his arms, and forgave him,
and told him that he would buy him
a dozen more hatchets, and he could
cut down every tree around the house,

RELIABLE PRESCRIPTION
FOR THE KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and bad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp Root has stood the test of years.
II is sold by all druggists on its merit and
1t should help you. No other kidney medi-
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first TO test this

To LocaIize Labor Boards,

Establishment of community labor
boards in cooperation with the United
States employment service to have
general jurisdiction over the recruit
ing and distribution of labor has been
announced by the war labor policies
board at Washington. 1t will be the
function Of these boards TO localize in
each industrial region the enforce
ment Of the policies Of the employment
service.
The State director Of the United
states public service reserve will des-
1gnate the number and bounds Of the
industrial communities in his State,
governing himself by the require
ments and status Of labor in the yari-
ous industrial communities.
Chambers Of commerce and manu-
facturers' associations will be asked
to nominate represe entatives Of EN-.
ployers and State and city federations
of labor will be requested to name the
labor members, both of whom are to
be appointed by the State director of
the public service reserve.
Community local boards will assist
In mobilizing labor in their respective
communities and will decide upon the
relative needs Of local establishments
seeking labor. In the event that the
supply of labor is less than the de-
mand, the existing reserve will be pro.
rated among the applicants.
Horace l.. 1ilghman, State director
said that the public service reserve
was organized in every county ANA
community In the State with few ex-
ceptions where organization is under
way at this time.

Embroidery Now the Thino.

That beaded trimming is rapidly Civ.
ing way TO embroidery seems to be n
fashlon tendency beyond dispute. 1t
is said that one reason why the metal
lie bead effect became so popular In
Paris and later i'm America Il season or
so ago was because it was possible to
make use OF metal filings and scrapings
from munitions works for much of this
trimming. But for some reason very
little metal trimming is coming into
this country now and beads are scarce.
Embroidery Is entirely within the
bounds Of things available. Hence tho
new dresses will show embroidery
rather than beads. 1t has been said
that there Is an end to so-called
Oriental and ecclesiastical embroider-
les, that is, bright colors have been
overdone, and most Of the smart
dresses showing embroidery will be
worked In threads Of the same color or
In some simple one-tone contrast.
