announcement was greeted by great
applause.
There were % re-adoptions at the

WHAT'S THE REASON?
Many Paris People in Poor Health
Without Knowing the Cause.

There are scores of people who
drag out miserable existence with
out realizing the cause of their suf-
fering. Day after day they are rack
ed with backache and headache; suf-
fer from nervousness, dizziness,
weakness, languor and depression.
Perhaps the kidneys have fallen be-
hind in their work of filtering the
blood and that may be the root of
the trouble. Look to your kidneys,
assist them in their work-give them
the help they need. You can use no
more highly recommended remedy
than Doan's Kidney Pills-endorsed
by the people all over the country
and by your neighbors in Paris.
Mrs. John Mastin, 1889 High
street, Paris, says: Il have used
Doan's Kidney Pills with good re-
suits and I know from the help they
gave me that they would be just as
beneficial in other cases of kidney
trouble. I had a dead, dull ache
across the small of my back and my
kidneys acted irregularly.' Doan's
Kidney Pills rid me of those COM
plants, and If I should need kid
ney remedy again / would certainly
take Doan's."
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy-get
Doan's Kidney Pills-the same that
Mrs. Mastin had. Foster-Milburn

DANIEL BOONE'S GRAVE.
(Letter from Montgomery, Mo-, in
Kansas City Starr

Kansas City Starr
After a wait of nearly 100 years
a monument is to be erected over the
burial place of Daniel Boone, the
great American woodsman, near
Marthasville, Warren county, Mis-
souri,. The marker is to be erected
through the efforts of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. 1t is
to be made of a large red granite
bOwlder found in Warren county.
The marker will be dedicated Oct
20 at the close of conference of the
Missouri Daughters of the Ameri-
can Revolution, which is to be held
in st. Louis. 1t is planned to make
the event an important one. 1t has
been said that the efforts made to re-
move Boone's body from its first bur-
ial place were failure and that the
delegates who came from Kentucky
for that purpose made mistake and
took the bones Of a man and woman
who were buried near Boone and his
wife. Whether this is true or not, it
has been contended for some time
that there ought to be some kind of
monument erected over the spot
where he was buried. Monuments
have been erected in his honor in
Kentucky and in North Carolina.

THE PANAMA CANAL.
(Thomas F. Logan in Leslie's.

(ThomaS +. Logan in LeSlie'S.
Gen. Goethals was told that the
right way to stop the slides was to
put a roof over the land alongside the
canal, keep the rain from seeping
into the soil, bore wells and pump
out the water already in the earth
and give the soil chance to dry out
1t was suggested that he ought first
to cut away great share of the
weight Of the hills along the cut, and
then to roof over the remaining mass
with an asphalt surface, that would
prevent any more rain water being
absorbed into the earth. That ad-
vice was regarded at the time as
rather ludicrous. Now it is begin
ming to be taken seriously; and there
is inquiry as to why it could not
command attention earlier. The geo.
logists who could not get a hearing
insisted that, while the character
and stratiflcation of the formation at
Culebra favored slides, the real cause
of the trouble was the surface abb
sorption of rain, as reports have
shown rainfall as much as four
inches in an hour. The biologists
pointed out that the dry dock and
soil would not slide, but that when
water in such huge quantities was
mixed with it in dry countries the
walls Of deep gorges. through beds
of soft consolidated sediments, stand
for great lengths of time, as in the
railroad and street cuts in the silt
formations along the Missouri River.
These will cave in when they are
continuously wet; in the dry regions
they stand indefinitely.

coast, and has everywhere been de-
clared to be the best exposition of
modern business methods ever given
The film tells in an interesting
manner the story of Mr.. White, a
merchant who through lax business
methods and poor system had
been brought to the verge of bank
ruptcy. AS the film progresses, the
causes for his failure are wildly
portrayed. His clerks were indiffer-
ent, his goods badly arranged, his
system thoroughly disorganized.
When his hopes were at the lowest
ebb, change came in his career,
and by the installation of modern
business methods, and rearrange-
ment of his store, he rose to pros
perity.
Because of the enthusiasm created
in other cities where the film has
been shown, it is expected that a ca
pacity audience will greet the lect-
ure in this city. Every scene is said
to contain a lesson. All merchants
and salespeople in the city are invit-
ed to attend.

WOMAN'S DEPARTMENT AT THE

The women's department of the
Blue Grass Fair this year is under
the supervision of Mrs. w. G. Simp-
son, who, with her assistants, has
gone over the various classifications
and opened new classes for varieties
of work and articles developed by
the war. Visitors to the Floral Hall
will not find the same old staid ma
terial that has been exhibited here
tofore, but will see on display a new
variety of useful and ornamental
goods, placed on exhibit at Lexington
for the first time. Mrs. Simpson is
working up a mountain exhibit"
open exclusively to women of the
mountain section of Kentucky. and
it is confidently expected that this
win prove one of the most interesting
features IN the hall. All goods are
to be exhibited as the property OF the
maker and will include quilts, bed
spreads, carpets and other articles
that the mountain women have be-
come so expert in making.

Mr.. r. H. Kennedy will be the
lecturer, and by means of stereopti-
con slides and motion pictures he
will discuss the causes of failures,

feature of the lecture will be the
part devoted to newspaper advertis-
ing. Writing of newspaper adver-
tisements, selection of mediums, and
the necessity for policy of continu-
Gus advertising by the retailer will
be taken up in detail. By the same
method the question of proper win

lection of store organization, and
other interesting matters will be dis
cussed.

Young Couples on Farms.

The Rutland Herald has Joined The
Reformer and the Bennington Banner in
suggestions for the improvement of rural
conditions in Vermont. This nearly COM
petes the list of southern Vermont dali
les committed to a discussion of this
subject and should aid in getting this
subject seriously considered by the peo
pie Of this end Of the state. The Herald
offers this suggestion:
What we need in Vermont more than
anything else is few thousand ambi-
tious, not too highfalutin, and constitu-
tionally hsrdworking young men and
women--in couples--who are courageous
enough to take dormant farm, with its
rundown acres and buildings, its mus
tard paint brush, daisies or whatever
pest it last yielded to, and to go to
making a regular home for two and what
follows after.
1t can be done, although winning
home out Of a wilderness Of weeds and
neglect is next door to hewing it out of
the virgin forest, with perhaps few
odds on the forest
Legislation certainly won't give us
these boys and girls, but education and
common sense win 20 a great way in
that direction. Watch the Vermont
farms grow as the Vermont families
grow within the next few years"
Evidently The Herald does not agree
with The Reformer that the most prom.
ising field for Improvement is on the
good farms of the state but thinks it is
on the rundown acres" The rundown
acres certainly do not offer the attrac-
lions of good farm, good buildings
and good equipment both indoors and
out. They call for pioneering and all its
denials and young couples to-day are not
thirsting for pioneering. AS The Herald
says in the dormant farm problem the
profits are apt to be small and hard work
is very positive and reliable factor.
We maintain that farming on good
farm is more profitable, more comfort
able, more intelligent and more satisfac-
| tory We believe that Vermonters should
turn their attention to securing the
proper human equipment for its good
| farming lands and let the dormant farms
remain dormant until the conditions ia
vor their profitable development. There
is no better equipment for good farms
| than ambitious, eonstitutionaly hard
working young men and women; and, if
they possess the sound Judgment neces-
sary for success, they will not pass the
most desirable farms for dormant or
rundown acres.
Can't the three dailies of southern Yer
mont form a triumvirate in the cham
pionship of good farmers for good farms

vermont's Maple Industry.

We are told that the average price for
maple sugar In Vermont this season was
% cents a pound That, we suppose, was
the price for sugar in bulk But many
maple sugar makers made their sugar
into neat and attractive cakes that sold
at retail for 80 cents a pound. That
shows the value of complying with de.
mand in preparing products for the mar
ket. We do not believe the demand for
these cakes at so cents a pound was
filled and that twice the amount sold at
that rate this year can be marketed next
season if the farmers viii produce it
Every progressive maple sugar producer
should begin now to prepare for next
years business and sell as much Of his
sugar as possible at these high and prof
table rates. II IL not enough TO master
the art of making good sugar, the most
advanced methods Of marketing it are
necessary to reach the maximum OF sue
cess in Vermont maple sugar.
The writer saw few weeks ago at the
railroad station Of the manufacturer sew
eral hundred pounds Of sugar and syrup
produced on the farm If a Vermont edi.

Michigan, Wisconsin, Florida, California
and some other states. We do not know
the price secured for this supertine pro.
duetion but will wage that % cents did
not nearly cover it. Editor Whitehill Of
Waterbury could give Vermonters some
very good points on marketing sugar, j
he will. The editor from Waterbury is
interrogated.- Brattleboro Reformer.

internal Strains.

The proposed repeal Of daylight saving
gives the Washington CORES ondent of
the Boston Transcript abundant ground
for saying that new dividing line must
be recognized between East and West.
1.-THE West is asserting itself in legisla
tion as never before. The farmer is eS-
ereising a grip on Congress which can be
regarded as little short Of merciless"
There is, of course, general feeling
that prosperity comes with successful
crops Because of this, the western farm
err can claim the sympathy Of disinter-
ested citizens in all his legitimate de.
mands, But the producers OF the crops
have an eyer.increasing political and
economic power, and there is growing a
disposition on their part to make use Of
this power, How much strength the in
dustrial East could muster in Congress
against the agricultural West, in case
there were sharp clash OF interests, is
a subject that, happily, need not be con
sidered. The attitude Of the South would
be problematical. Probably no serious
test will ever come. Certainly we all
hope that it will not.
The farmer of the middle West for a
long time regarded himself at the mercy
of eastern capitalists and the railroads.
And he still has fear of them. He also
distrusts the packers and the millers.
But he Is no longer mere voice of dis
content. While much western political
thought can fairly be characterized as

of the political reforms which are desired
in the agricultural regions will benefit
the farmers financially.

West, is gaining in economic self suffi,

During the past week the Senate inter-

that would prohibit lower freight rate

west of the Rockies, might prove the en-
tering wedge that would cause the rate

VIII the East, particularly New Eng
land, consent TO give up its advantages

ably not. When Robert w. Woolley of

Yet every section of the country can
not have everything it wants. Through
out the nation the conflict between cap
ital and labor has been embittered by
the attitudes of both sides during the
past 10 years. But we are less aware of
the growing stresses and strains between
the vested interests of different sections,

CURRENT COMMENT


According to the prediction Of some
wholesalers, meat will be down to pre-
war basis in the fan. Steaks that cost
IS to 40 cents pound will be obtain
able at the old-time rate OF " TO 70
cents. Leather and shoes may be dearer,
At first glance there may appear g be
no relationship between the two, but as
matters stand the cheapness OF meat VIII
be largely the effect OF the DEAFNESS OF
leather. The reason for it il seattle
raisers. under the stimulus OF high prices,
have been raising cattle at an enormous
rate until there are more cattle IN the
country than ever before. This might
account for cheaper meat, but, following
the law of supply and demand, it should
also account for cheaper leather. That
law ID at work rightly enough, as Is its
coroIlary that high prices stimulate pro.
duction and reduce consumption and
viee-yersa.
Al already stated, high prices have
stimulated the production Of cattle while
reducing the consumption Of beef. Hides,
and therefore leather, should be IN plen-
tiful supply, but even so the demand eX-
ceeds it. for the demand for leather from
this country was never so great, Amer
lea Is being called upon TO supply the
worlds markets for shoes formerly sup
piled By Germany and the demand is
insistent. Conditions are being reversed
and cattle are likely to be slaughtered
not for their beef, but for their hides.
Leather is SO dear that beef can be
sold cheaper to stimulate the consump.
ton and thus increase the supply Of
hides. Economic laws sometimes crisis,
cross in unexpected ways, but their ef-
feets are inevitable. New York Com

GREETED by the allies to any extent, for
the question OF disposal of the ships had
not been satisfactorily settled; but the
ease with which the Germans perpetrated
the trick win no doubt be sore spot in
the breasts Of the allied leaders for some
time. The incident serves to confirm
the common idea of the faithlessness Of
the Germans at time when the armi-
stice was still in full force and when the
allies were making concessions to the
German nation in the terms OF the treaty
of peace. The German people are writ
ing down some very black pages in his
tory, and the incident of the scuttling
OF the surrendered ships makes another
added stain on their reputation for being
untrustworthy as nation and as a peo-
pie. The allies are dealing with an en-
tirely irresponsible nation, capable Of
going to any length to carry out their
program of expediency.
