Il never expected to get rid of
my troubles, for they had been
pulling me down for ten years and
had just about laid me out. Ny
kidneys were all out of order and
had a continual sharp pain in the
small of my back. 1 had rheuma
tism in my legs and arms and ct
times my muscles felt like they
were tied in knots. / couldn't even
drive my team, on account Of this
stiffness and pains in my arms and

agony l could hardly move about.

down until 1 was nearly past going.

bother me any more and that pain
has left my back. The rheumatism

KENTUCKY AUGUST CROP RE-
PORT.

Considerable increases in the es-
tinates of production of corn, oats
and potatoes in Kentucky, compar-
ed to July l estimates, a slight in
crease in the estimate of the wheat
crop in Kentucky, and a slight de-
crease in the States tobacco pros
poets, are the features of the month
~ crop report issued at Lou
isville and Frankfort by the U. S.
Bureau of Crop Estimates in coop
Grafton with State Commissioner Of
Agriculture W. C. Hanna Tobacco
shows a slight reduction from July
estimates because of rather poor
condition iE some sections, but as
there is big acreage in the hurley
belt which partly makes up for the
reduced acreage in Western Ken
lucky and both sections can yet
make full normal yield if given
favorable weather, the estimate of
tobacco production is not greatly re-
duced. The United States total to-
bacco crop is considerably larger
than last year.
Probable corn production in Ken
lucky is estimated at 96,941, 900
bushels, compared to July estimate
of S6,170,0OG and crop last year
of S2,500,000 bushels; wheat this
month is estimated at 6,3O4,0OO
bushels, compared to a July / est =
mate Of S6,17O,O00 and crop last
year of 82,500,000 bushels; wheat
this month is estimated at 1904, 900
bushels, compared to a July 1 esti-
mate of 6,275,000 bushels, and a
production of 12,029,000 bushels
last year; potatoes 6,355,000 BUSH
els, compared to prospects July 1
for $4,000 bushels, and a crop
last year of 100000 bushels; and
tobacco 431,64O,OOO pounds, COM
pared to prospects July 1 estimate
of 437,5SO,000 pounds, and last
years production Q of 456, 800, goo
pounds. This estimate on tobacco
may be increased or decreased later,
however, depending on favorable or
unfavorable weather.
Rye production in Kentucky this
season is estimated at GIG, 900 bush
els, compared to 744,000 bushels
last year; oats II, 900 bushels,
compared to 100000 bushels last
year; barley 10000 bushels, com
pared to 100000 bushels last year.
Fruit is a good crop in Kentucky
as a whole, apples being estimated
at 5,O63,00O bushels and peaches
$4,000 bushels. The condition
of ether crops in Kentucky is re-
ported as follows: Alfalfa, 80 pei
cent; millet, sc per cent; pasture,
SO; cowpeas, Sc; field beans. 90;

CHINESE LAUNDRIES FEWER

Chinese laundries, which for years
have been picturesque bits Of for
eign color in our American towns
and cities, are growing fewer. The
Chinese who first came to America
were poor and ignorant and could
not go into any business that re-
auired capital or knowledge OF
the language and customs OF the
country. In order to be independ-
emit they resorted to the laundry
business, which required little OF
either, and began to save money
and learn the things that are neces-
sary for pleasanter and more profit
able occupations. There are fewer
Chinese laundrymen to-day, but in
Greater New York alone Chinese
own and run more than two hundred
restaurants.

Hanover Trust Company, Ponzl
depository, which was closed We'd
nesday, probobly was wiped out.

After a wait for several hours fol-
a bondman Ponzi obtained his re.
lease at 4:30 p. m. His bondman is
Morris Rudnick, real estate dealer
of 116 Homestead Street, Roxbury

$4,000. On leaving the Federal
Building Ponzi went to the Municipal
Court to answer to the warrant
charging larceny issued there.
At police headquarters POnzi was
photographed and his finger prints
taken.

STACKING UP CITIES

Young people in country towns
who have been getting restless with
rural conditions should note the
news that work in many of the
cities is Stacking up. In the cloth

have been extensive shut downs.
The high wages paid in those
industries have been only temporary
and can't last. The young folks
with good homes in tie country, who
are learning the science of country
life and food production every day
should not give up their chance tc
advance in an industry that never
