HEED THE WARNING
Many Maysville People Have Done So.

When the kidneys are weak they
give unmistakable warnings that
should not be ignored. By examining
the urine and treating the kidneys
upon the first sign of disorder, many
days Of suffering may be saved. Weak
kidneys usually expel a dark, ILL
smelling urine, full of "brickdust''
sediment and painful in passage.
Sluggish kidneys often cause a dull
pain in the small of the back, head
aches, dizzy spells, tired, languid feel
ings and frequent rheumatic twinges.
Doan's Kidney Pills are for the kid
neys only. There is no better recon-
mended remedy.
Maysville people endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills.
Fred Dresel. tailor and Justice of the
peace, 1898 East Second Street,
says: 81 was troubled by inflammation
OF the bladder and annoyance from
my kidneys. The kidney secretions
burned In passage and often were re-
tarded. I had severe pains across the
small Of my back which greatly intsr-
fered with my work. DoAns Kinney
Pills, which I got at Wood 4 Sons
Drug Store, gave me prompt relief"
Mr.. Dresel gave the above statement
on February 8. 1908, and on November
IA. 1916, he added: II have had the
same faith In Doan's Kidney Pills to-
day as ever, for l haven't had any trou-
BILE with my kidneys slnceI last recon-
mended them"

simply ask for kidney remedy - get
Doan's Kidney Pills - the same that

stock-tight. If possible the supply of
posts should be cut on the farm or
purchased from neighbor. Usage
orange, locust, cedar, and chestnut
posts are satisfactory for permanent
fences. 1t is good practice to peel
the posts and dip the butts in cresote
for preservative purposes.
The wise and frugal farmer plies
the paint brush during the spare
time of spring and fall, as he under
stands the dual value of paint in pro-
tecting against decay and weathering
and in improving the slightliness of
the farm building. If the farmer feels
that he can not afford to use paint on
his buildings, he at least can utilize
cold-water paint or whitewash. The
disadvantage of these materials is
that their use requires more labor,
for they must be applied every year,
and If the owner wishes to use oil
paints later on he will have to scrape
away all the whitewash first.

moved and resharpened by forging
and retempering. Spring-etooth har-
row teeth should be handled similar
ly, while the discs or disc harrows
should be edged. Mowers, reapers,
and binders should be overhauled and
put in order for strenuous campaign.
The United States Department of
Agriculture offers valuable informa-
ton in Farmers Bulletin GAG, 947,
94S, and 991, Care and Repair of
Farm Implements" which every
American farmer should read.
Provide Proper Repairs
The department recommends that a
careful and systematic inspection of
each implement be made for the pur-
pose of making or ordering repairs.
Plows, listers, harrows, rollers, drags,
seeders, drills, planters, cultivators,
mowers, binders, headers, hay rakes,
hay leaders, stackers, wagons, racks,
engines, and horsepower or belt
driven machines such as separators,
silo cutters, and feed grinders are the
implements in most common USE 1t
is suggested that each implement be
inspected for badly worn or broken
parts to determine what parts should
be repaired and those that must be re-
placed with new ones.
AS reminder for ordering new
parts and in overhauling the machine,
make list for each implement of the
parts to be repaired or the new parts
to be repaired or the new parts to be
bought; also any special tools neces-
sary in making these repairs. Put
down the name Of manufacturer, year
bought, and the number of the ma
chine If 1t is known. If orders are
sent to the factory be sure to specify
the catalogue, pattern, or casting
number of the part. Order repair
parts early, as the dealer may not
have them in stock. Overhaul your
equipment and have it all in good
shape before the season opens.
Plan Now For New Buildings
Late winter is the best time to make
plans and preparations for any build
ing which is contemplated. This will
assure the presnce of the material
when needed, and will often permit
the making of favorable contracts
which would be difficult to consum-
mate later on, when the rush of spring
work begins. AS the coming season
promises to be busy one in the build
ing line, every farmer who wishes to
build is urged by the Federal depart
ment to shake a leg" and get his
plans under way.
Now is the time to prepare hog
houses for the spring crop of pigs.
Repair where necessary, so as to mini
mize pig mortality due to inadequate
shelter. Thousands of newborn pigs
are lost each season due to unsatis-
factory housing. Weather-proof
houses will save many.
The late winter also is a propitious
time for the building of new and the
repairing OF old fences. WORKOUT
posts and wire should be replaced
where necessary to make the fields

DOCTOR UP CRIPPLED
THE. MACHINERY NOW
And Late Winter Is the Time to Put
Other Farm Equipment In Repair,
Says the Department Of
Agriculture.

Il
| A certain farm equipment dealer
has one record customer who buys a
new binder every three years, and
who at one time was in debt for three
binders which he purchased in per-
iod of seven years. This farmer uses
a ready-made apple tree as shelter
for his grain harvester. When one
tree rots he plants another. And al
though he and his family work hard,
he is always paying last seasons debts
with next years income. Why isn't
he successful?
If the agricultural implements
which have rusted and rotted to pieces
in fence corners and barnyards could
be placed end to end, they would pro-
badly stretch from here to infinitum.
approximately $lOO,OOO,OOO consti-
tutes the annual loss due to lack of
care in handling farm machinery-a
tribute to catch-as-catch-ca methods
The average farmer will sit up all
night to save the life Of day-old calf
or litter of pigs and think nothing
of 1t, yet the same man will begrudge
the time and labor necessary to haul
valuable tools from the fields to prop
err shelters.
The present is an Opportune time
for taking inventory Of farm machin-
cry resources, as well as account of
essential repairs and record of imple-
ment condition, says the Rural Engi
neering Division of the United States
Department Of Agriculture. Repairs
should be ordered and put in place as
soon as received. Machines should be
gone over thoroughly and prepared
for the coming season. All adjust
ments should be made, a plentiful
supply of various sized bolts, nuts,
and screws should be secured and
everything got in shipshape order for
the rush season of spring work.
A few spare hours can be devoted
advantageously to the collection Of
old implement parts, repairs and
scrap iron which vac accumulated in
the fence corners and lines, as the
present values of scrap and junk
justify the farmer in selling such ma
terial, which is valuable for Industrial
purposes.
Now is the time, also, to sharpen
pillow points and disks and to touch up
the dull harrow teeth The cultivator
shovels should be sharpened, as blunt
points and worn harrow teeth are
highly inefficient and will not perform
satisfactory work. All worn parts
should be replaced and the machines
placed in Al condition for field SER
vice. In spike-tooth harrows, teeth
should be reversed in the clamps II
worn only on one side while II both
points are dull, they should be re-

MINER KILLED; SLAYER
NARROWLY ESCAPES MOB

Middlesboro, KY, February 20 -
John Smith, married man, 30 years
old, was killed this morning by Jim
Nicols at Forkridge, Tenn, just across
the border from the Kentucky line,
about six miles from Middlesboro.
A mob gathered very soon and
threats were made to lynch Nicols. He
was hurried across the Tennessee line
and brought to Middlesboro where he
was placed in Jail.
Smith was a well-known miner at
the Forkridge mining camp. No de-
tails of the killing were given out 9th

The Busy Hour
for
Telephoning

If we comprehend that residences
are ordering their groceries and sup
plies - that retailers are ordering
from the wholesalers, that freight de-
pots are notifying their consignees,
and professionals making their daily
appointments-at Just the time we are
doing our own ordering, 1t must be-
tween nine and ten o'clock In the
morning.
II the cline is busy" when we call
at that time, it is also busy for 9TH
ers when we are using 1t, and the
whole situation might be relieved If
we called later in the day.
If the person persists in visiting
during the busy hours will have fine
consideration for others, she will do 1t
later in the day. She will not under
any circumstances talk over FIVE min
utes. And she will use the telephone
on party lines for reasonable and ne
cessary purposes only.

Of telling you Barnes, that she'll alb

For a few minutes she chided him
for his unseemly aversion. He was
beginning to think that he had been
mistaken in her motive, and hat after
all she was merely satisfying her ran
ity. Suddenly. and as she smiled into
his eyes, she said, lowering her voice
slightly:

Mr.. sprouse Abandons Literature at
an Early Hour In the Morning,
After thrashiEg about in his bed for
seven sleepless hours, Barnes arose
and gloomily breakfasted alone. He
was not discouraged over his failure
to arrive at anything tangible In the
shape of a plan of action. 1t was In
conceivable that he should not be able
In very short order to bring about the
release Of the fair guest of Green
Fancy. There was not the slightest
doubt In his mind that International
affairs of considerable Importance
were involved and that the agents OPP
Grating at Green Fancy were under
definite orders.
Mr.. Sprouse came into the dining
room as he was taking his last swal
low of coffee.
"Ah, good morning" was the bland
little mans greeting. "Up with the
lark, 1 see. Mind If 1 sit down here
and have my eggsr he pulled out a
chair opposite Barnes and coolly sat
down at the table.
"You can't sell me a set of Dickens
at this hour of the day." said Barnes
sourly. Besides, I've finished my
breakfast. Keep your seat" He start
ed to rise.
"Sit down." said Sprouse quietly.
Something In the mans voice and man
ner struck Barnes as oddly compelling.
He hesftated a second and then re-
sumed his seat. "I've been investi-
eating you, Mr.. Barnes" said the little
man, unsmilingly. Don't get sore.
There are a lot of things that you don't
know, and one of them Is that l don't
sell books for a living. It's something
of a side line with me-" He leaned
forward. ST shall be quite frank with
you, sir. | am a secret service man.
Yesterday l went through your effects
upstairs, and last night I took the lib
erty of spying upon you, so to speak,
while you were a guest at Green
