INDUSTRIAL WARFARE

The wall of the calamity howlers
who think America is going to the
dogs because everything is dead
wrong, is not supported by facts, for
the pictured dread of unemployment
is met by the force Of the official
statement that eighty per cent of the
returned fighing men have been car
ed for by their former employers,
and there are LET out OF work now
only the number normally constitut-
ing the labor turnov. r. In the 'slums'
of the cities the men are wearing
ten dollar shoes and the women have
balances at the savings banks.
OF course Ireland is in hole, FL
ume is in a fog, Shantung pigtails
are in the hands of Japanese hair
dressers, and the Prince of Wales
cannot get his English yacht up the
Potomac to Washington. But why
worry and get wrinkles?
1t is a truth as atent as patent
shoe-leather that the national morale
is low, in evidence of which we have
LuO SlCcl cJllhC, W
crowd of agitators and staged prin-
cipally by foreigners who have not
assimilated our Americanism. In ad-
dition coal operators, who mostly
all speak a tongue that Americans
cannot understand, threaten to tie
up the mines as Winter is beginning
to send forth it's first frost-bites.
Skilled workmen and the more in
telligent employees of the country
are going about their affairs soberly,
and industrially; but the fact re-
mains that the country is in the
throes of industrial warfare. It is of
deep concern that on tho very eve of
the meeting of. conference between
leaders of labor and capital, conven-
ed by the President, tnat there are
great strikes in progress. The fact
that foreigners are the ones princi-
pally at the bottom Of these disputes
ought not to be lost sight of-for as
that Wake up America" stuff was
the bone and sinew of morale in war
time, its importance Is equally vital
in the piping times of peace.

MESSAGE OF DEATH ENDS WlFE's
WEARY WAITING

Several month of waiting for a let
ter from her soldier husband, battling
for his country in France, failed to
dim the hope of Mrs. Emma Tetslaff
Evans of No. 4O1 Third North st. The
message would surely come, she
knew, for she had heard from him late
in October, and wasn't the armistice
signed November II? He must be all
right.
Down in Washington there is de-
partment that, not being human, can
not fulfill the desires of the hearts OF
wives, mothers, fathers or anyone
else who have their hearts wrapped
up in an individual in the United
States army. and bring that individual
safe home after the fighting is over.
The other day the War Department
brought, not further nope, but the
great sorrow to Mrs Evans, wife Of
Private Thomas Jefferson Evans, D.
Company, Fifth Machine Gun Battal-
lion, U. s. A. The young husband to
whom the young wife was married
just before he left for France in Sep
tember, 1917, was killed by German
machine gun bullet eight days before
the armistice was signed. He fell fac
ing the foe just outside of Beaumoua,
November g.
Months Of hopeful waiting are over
in one home.-Syracuse, MY. Daily.
Thos. J. Evans, was the son of s. 0.
Evans of Buffa'o Valley, and had a
number of friends and relatives who
were sad to hear of his death.

TWICE TOLD TALES

Boys on the Farm There is the
place to stay, and the way to keep
them is to show him you CANT him.
Give him his showing early, a pig, a
hen and to raise brown Leghorn pull
let's that came off in May. They will
lay in October. Eggs in eastern cit
les will sell for 81 per this coming
winter, so give the boy chance to
know soon in life that he is IT.
Too many go to the bright lights,
the glitter and the glare and the bad
company. One that has passed thru
all this and then some can write it
out, your Editor will publish it and
many can read and take notice and
it may be of benefit to more than
few, and in after years you can
feel grateful for the wild oats that
you failed to sow and did not have
the crop to garner in your old days.
Go to your bible and read the Prodi-
gal Son. See how he pined for the
old home. Some folks would like to
live their lives over, at least they
think so. All I regret. is left the
old home place. l could not know
how those tears my old mother shed
because of my leaving burned her
withered and worn cheeks and how
her heart was full of bitterness.
No Sir, it won't do, but stay right,
where you were born, raise peas, pigs,
potatoes, plums, parsnips, 'possum,
persimmons, pumpkin, popcorn, paw
paws to make pies; raise cane, sand
or any old thing for boys will be boys.
And don't forget the kindling wood
for the cold winter nights that are com
ing long about Christmas, when you
will have your popcorn, chestnuts,
and apples. G. w.

AN OPPORTUNITY
NOT AN OBLIGATION

The work of compiling the Honor
Roll of Putnam County, book to be
published. entitled with the Colors
from Putnam County, is progressing.
Many photographs with biographies
have been delivered the publishers for
publication in this book. Others who
are entitled to places in the book eth
er through misunderstanding or mis-.
Interpretation have not yet turned in
their photographs or records.
The aim of the publishers is to make
this book as near one hundred per
cent as possible-to see that each
person entitled to space In the book is
given the opportunity of using that
space: No person can buy space in
this book and no obligation or expense
of any kind is incurred by any person
using the space set aside for them.
II you are entitled to space in this
Book and do not use it, please be kind
enough in the future to blame yourself
and not the publishers for your neg
lect in this respect
The book is not and will not be
cheapened by the award of space to
those who cannot show good title to
it, Those who can show such title are
welcomed without expense or obliga-
tion on their part.
A great many have asked the pub
fishers how they expected to get back
the expense of publishing this book
if no money was taken for the pay
ment of engraving or for space for
record. When the work of compiling
the book is completed orders will be
taken from thise. who desire to have
a copy and the expense of compiling
and printing the book it is hoped
will be derived from the sales OF
these copies. However, no one sub
mitting a photograph and record has
yet been asked to purchase a book,
and such purchase is not nor will it
be made a demand or obligation in
securing the publication of photo
graph or record.
If you are entitled to have your
record and photograph in the book,
it is your right, and your photograph
and record will appear in the book
whether you intend to purchase
copy or not and the question of the
purchase of book is not brought up
when your photograph and record are
left.
Now get it straight. The book is
an opportunity for you to place your
self on permanent record and if you
do not accept the opportunity fr you
to place yourself on permanent rec
ord and if you do not accept the op-
portunity you injure yourself and no
one else.
What would you give for a similar
book published following the Revolu-
tionary war, the War Of 1912, the
Mexican War; the Civil War, shiw-
ing your ancestors activities In
those wars? Nc such book was pub
lished following those wars.
Was yoar father, brother or near
relative. in the Spanish-American
War; how many more years will it
be until that record is lost or forgot
ten?
The world war was the greatest. In
all history In all probability it will
be important that generations to
come will be able to prove where
their ancestors stood in the great
contest.
Think it over. There is yet time
to get your record and photo ia.

WEATHER AND CROP coNDIT-
IONS

For Week Ending Sept. 80, 1919
There was practically no rain dur
ing the week, but as good rains oc-
Cured over most of the State just at
the close of the preceding week, the
fair, sunshiny weather that prevail
ed was generally advantageous, ex-
cept in some localities, mostly in the
eastern division, where droughty con-
ditions still exist. In the dry areas,
late corn, Irish potatoes, sweet po-
tatoes, and all growing crops suf-
fered, plowing was hindered, and in
some places the water supply for
stock and domestic purposes is run
ming quite lew. Except in the dry
areas, late corn, potatoes, and pas
lures did we'll, and much plowing for
fall sowing of grains was done. The
filling Of silos and the housing and
curing of tibacco proceeded favor
ably. Tobacco is nearly all housed
and in good condition. Some wheat
was sown during the week. The con-
ditions were favorable for cotton
and for the gathering of the crop. 1t
opened rapidly While the acreage is
unusually small, and most of that
planted was late, the weather con-
ditions have been favorable for the
last several weeks.

Weekly Health Talks A Word About the
 Kidneys
BY DOCTOR WATSON.

People are easily frightened when they thin1 something is the matter with their lungs or heart, and well they may be; but few people understand the dangers of dis eased kidneys. These organs have a duty of vital importance to perform, and if they are diseased, there is no telling how or where the symptoms may appear. The kidneys are filters, and when they are healthy they remove the poisons from the blood and purify it. When the kidneys are diseased, the poisons are spread every where, and one of these poisons is uric acid. The uric acid is carried all through the system and deposited in various places, in the form cf urate salts-in the feet, ankles, wrists and back-often forming bags under the eyes Sometimes the result ing trouble is called rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica and baokache Finally, come stone in the bladder, diabetes and Bright's dis case.
 Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y, in recent years, discovered that certain combina- tion of remedies would dissolve uric acid (urate salts) in the system. He found this combination to be harmless, so that he made it up in tablets, of double strength, and called them Anuric Tablets. They dissolve uric acid in the human system as hot coffee dissolves sugar. If you have uric acid troubles, don't delay in taking Anuric Tablets, which can be secured in the drug stores. You can write Dr, Pierce, SOo and ha will toll vOu what +o nat and how to live so that more uric acid will not form in your system. Dr. Pierce will not charge for this advice
