CATARRHAL DEAFNESS CANNOT
BE CURED

By local application, 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 inflamed
condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is
inflamed you have rumbling sound
or imperfect hearing, and when 1t is
entirely closed, deafness is the result
Unless the Inflammation can be re-
dueed 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 infiamed condition Of the mu-
cOus surfaces. Halls Catarrh Medi-
cine acts through the blood on the
mucous surfaces of the system.
We will give one hundred dollars
for any case of Catarrh Deafness that
cannot be cured by Halls Catarrh

OLD AND NEW BATTLE NAMES
Hard to Bestow Appropriate AppeIIa-
tioHs Upon Conflicts Having
Wide Fronts.

There seems to have been little trou-
BILE in the past in naming battles, al.
though even Waterloo is called Quatre
Bras by the French. But on the whole
name seems to have attached IT.
self to a battle quite naturally, like
Blenheim.- Talavera, Jena, Leipzig, the
Nile and Trafalgar.
But In the great war, where bat
tie extended over weeks of time over
a forty-mile front, including many VII
lagos, and sometimes several objec-
tives In the shape Of big towns, the
difficulty Of naming q battle with a
name that Is universally recognized is
extreme.
The names which have actually set
tied down completely and taken their
places in history are the battle of the
Marine, the two battles Of Ypres, the
battle Of Verdun, the battle of the
Blight, the battle of Jutland, the bat
tie Of the Somme, and that seems al
most all.
The battles Of the later phases of
the war have hardly settled down to a
name yet. Probably the battle In
which the Vimy ridge was stormed
will be known as Arras; but the bat
tie Of Messines will probably be a
sticker, just as the Chemin des Danes
will live in French annals for all
times.
Perhaps the great battle which at
the time seemed disastrous to British
arms, commencing on March 81, 1918
will go down to history as the battle
Of Amiens, while the battle Of Cam
brai may stand for all that heroic re.
| covery which brought the British to
their final victory.

CROP REPORT OF JUNE 1.

The prolonged and excessive wet
weather throughout May has retard-
ed the planting of crops. With
twenty-five days of rain in May prep
aration of the soil for the planting of
crops has been next to impossible.
Wheat is somewhat damaged and not
as high a yield is expected as the
early conditions warranted How
ever, the condition as State aver
age is "a per cent, which is 5 per
cent less than this time last year.
Rye shows up somewhat better with
a condition of 81 per cent as COM
pared with SO per cent in 1918. Bar
ley is an exceptionally small crop in
this State and but few reports are
made on same. Condition is given
at 50 per cent.
Anticipated acreage of corn is
given at SO per cent. Owing to the
continued cold and wet weather, the
preparation of the ground was great
ly delayed and the condition of the
ground as of June 1st was IS per
cent 1t is estimated that 81 per
cent of planting of corn has been
completed, but some ground remains
yet unbroken. Condition of growing
corn is ~ per cent. Some replanting
Of early corn will be necessary in
many localities.
Oats acreage is estimated at 81 pei

last year, while condition is shown
at 95 per cent. Hemp acreage has

about one-tenth of reports coming in
on this crop as is customary. The few

set. Dark tobacco acreage Planned
is given at 80 per cent, which is 10
per cent less than estimated in 1918.
Condition of plants is gwen at 90

Grasses show up we'll:
Bluegrass, sc per cent. =
Glover, 90 per cent.
Orchard grass, SO per cent.
Alfalfa, go per cent.
First cutting of alfalfa has made a
fair yield.
The general outlook for yield of
hay is given at "a per cent. Expect
ed acreage of soy beans is 90 per cent,
while that of cow peas is S3 per cent.
Livestock shows in good condition,
the same being 81 per cent of normal,
while poultry only shows at so per
cent.
The early frost has proven very
disastrously to fruit in most locali-
ties and short crop may be expected
with the exception of blackberries.
Condition Of fruit is as follows:
Apples, 81 per cent.
Peaches, "a per cent.
Pears, 4S per cent.
Plums, So per cent.
Grapes, 65 per cent.
Blackberries, 101 per cent.
Only about 81 per cent of straw
berry crop was reported. Garden
conditions are low, owing to the wet
season, condition of same being given
at 70 per cent, while potatoes are
given at SO per cent. Potato acreage
shows at 50.
The seasonable weather prevailing
the first week in June finds the farm
ers of the State busy in their eager
endeavors to get caught up in their
much retarded task of preparing the
ground and planting the crops
Farm labor is still scarce.

CAMP ROOSEVELT THE IDEAL
SUMMER RESORT.

BOYS from Paris will be invited to
a reserve Officers Training Camp on
Lake Michigan this summer. The en-
campment has been named Camp
roosevelt, as living memorial to
the dead statesman, and 1000 men
and boys will be given a period of in
tensfve military physical
training there between July 6 and
August 81. Captain F. l.. Beals of
the United States Army will be the
commanding officer.
Camp Roosevelt is being establish
ed at Muskegon, Michigan, as train
ing place for the Chicago High
school boys who are in the Reserve
Ofhcers' Training Corps, but it is not
necessary to be from Chicago or to
have had previous military training
to be Camp Roosevelter. 1t will
be an all-age, all-American camp,
open to recruits between the ages of
II and As.
The military training will include
drills, machine gun practice, ground
aviation, radio instruction and other
military features. The physical train
ing will include calisthenics, base
ball, tennis, golf, swimming, rowing
and hiking. The educational train
ing will will be under the direction
of Chicago High School subjects.
This feature is optional with the re-
cruit.
Camp Roosevelt is not profit-mak-
ing institution. 1t is being financed
by committee of patriotic Chicago
citizens who believe that it may pave
the way to program of national
preparedness at all times. The charge,
as far as the recruit is concerned, is
only $1.0O per day to cover subsist-
ence and equipment, instruction and
a tent to sleep in. Recruits can ar
range for two, four, six or eight
weeks of training as desired.
Camp Roosevelt will be under strict
military discipline and the command
ing officers will have complete charge
of all added features of training.
So many inquiries are coming in
regarding the camp that it has be-
come necessary to establish executive
headquarters at Fl N. La Sale street,
Chicago, from which full information
may be secured upon request.

Wonder What Poe Got for 1t.

Quite a while ago an author, Edgar

it hardly occurred to him that some
day a collector would pick up an old
copy of that periodical for % cents
and presently sell it to somebody else
for $1,000. Probably it is just as well
that it did not, for the knowledge
might have disconnected him with his
own modest emolument for writing a
classic.
