Big 4 ENGINEER
OUT WITH FACTS
Says Tanlac Quickly Brought
Back His Old Time Health
And Energy-Feels Fine
Now.

One of the most noteworthy fea-
lures in connection with the ntroduc-
ton and sale of Tanlac throughout
America is the very large number of
railroad men who have been bene-
flied by its use.
Prominent department officials, con-
ductors. engineers, Office clerks and.
in fact, men representing practically
every branch of the service, have re-
ported that they have used Tanlac
with the most surpriing and crafty
ing results.
One of the latest to testify is f. II
Bowley. Eighth and Elborne Apart
ments, in Prince Hill, Cincinnati Mr..
Bowley has been in the service of the
Big Four railroad as engineer for
forty years and has been on his pre-
sent run-pulling passengers between
Cincinnati and Chicago for the past
twelve years. He is also a Command
airy Mason and an active member OF
the Knights of Pythias, and is popular
with all who know him. Mr. Bowley,
in relating his experience with Tanlac
said:
81 never thought of letting my
name be used in connection with a
medicine, but Tanlac has helped me
and | consider it well worth recon-
mending to anyone suffering from
stomach trouble and a rundown con-
dition.
For some time past my appetite
has been very poor and have suffer
ed great deal from indigestion |
was in badly rundown condition
and had that tired feeling all the time
We'll. what | needed was just an
alrround building up and Tanlac has
done that very thing My appetite is
so keen that | can hardly eat enough
to satisfy me and | can eat what
want without feeling a touch of in.
digestion. | no longer have that tired
worn out feeling and am enjoying my
usual good health and energy | have
found Tanlac unusually fine and an
glad to give it my hearty endorse
ment.".

EXCURSION STEAMER
CRESCENT BURNED
At Mouth Of Green River; Valued at
$4,000 and Insured for $4,000.

cent, which ran several excursions on
the Ohio river last summer between
Evansville and points up the river,
was consumed in flames Wednesday
while anchored at the mouth of Green
river. The boat was valued at $4,000
and insured for $4,000
An overheated stove was the cause
of the fire. The fire made such head
way that the few men on the boat
were unable to fight the flames. The
boat was burned to the waters edge

Monday before the fire. for the pur-
pose of remaining harbored there for

THANKSGIVING
Bonneville JournaD

Thanksgiving Day is coming soon;
The turkeys roosting high,
And Cape Gods crop OF cranberries,
They say, is somewhat shy,
Mincemeat can have no brandy now
A lack that some deplore,
But surely all OF us can find
Things to be thankful for.
For first OF all, we're all alive,
And while there's life there's hope,
And some astrologer might find
Luck in our horoscope.
So cheer up, in the face of gloom,
1t is the only way,
And may it be, for all OF us,
A real Thanksgiving Day!

DILTHEY ENTERTAINERS
Entertainment Given at High School
Auditorium OH July 80 for Bene-
fit of Worthy Cause.

Through the good officers of the La
mar Auxiliary of the Prowers County
Chapter of The American Red Cross,
the City Council and Parents-Teach-
ers Association, the Board of Educa-
ton has been able to employ school
nurse for the coming school year. The
work OF a school nurse has proven SO
beneficial in those schools wherein her
services have been tested out that the
demand for such service is constantly
growing. The organizations named
have shown a splendid spirit in SO full
ly cooperating with the Board of Edu-
cation and much good is expected.
While the general plan has only been
adopted, many details remain to be
worked out A suitable room must be
provided and the necessary equipment
supplied. This requires funds and la
Dor. To assist in raising portion of
the funds required arrangements have
been completed for concert to be Civ
en- by the Dilthey Family at the high
school auditorium on Friday evening,
July 3Oth, at the hour of $3.50 p. m.
The lateness of the hour was deemed
advantageous for it insures a cool and
pleasant atmosphere.
To many residents of Lamar the Dill
they Family are not unknown. Mr..
and Mrs. Dilthey when Lamarites years
ago. were very favorably known for
their splendid musical talent and abil-
ity. Those who have heard the young
er members of the family say that
they are not TO be placed in any low
er class.
A crowded house should greet the
Dilthey Family for two very goods
reasons-to assist very worthy cause
and to hear a splendid musical pro-
gram. Tickets can be secured and re-
served at the high school building on
Thursday and Friday between the
hours of a. IN. and 8 p. m. Don't

The Nut Party

The third party convulsions at Chi
cago are sufficient evidence that there
is a need of Nut party, which will
open its ranks to every crank who has
been unable to get along with his fel-
low Americans in other parties. The
necessity is more obvious than ever.
Tho number of isms is rapidly increas-
ing, and it cannot be expected that in
dividuals can succeed in impressing
their idiocy upon the country as en-
phatically as it can be done by one
stong centralized party.
The chrief difficulty in laying the
foundations of the Nut party is in
making them broad enough. Some
good nut is sure to be excluded unless
the party founders are careful to make
its platform as broad as humanity, as
high as heaven, and as deep as-well,
as deep as necessary. No new idea
should be excluded; no distortion OF
Imagination or theory, however OBJ
noxious to other nuts, should be deni-
ed its plank in the platform. If the
third party is to fifty represent the
malcontents, the cranks, the disap-
pointed jobchasers, the twisted invent
ors of political panaceas, the. down
and outs and the hyprocrites. who
have been run out of other parties,
then the platform must be made broad,
long and thick.
We hold that there is no country in
the world which can muster a finer
lot of misfits and cranks than the
glorious Union Of these States. The
chief thing now is to bunch them to
gether, in order that the country may
get the benefit Of their cooperative
labors. AS fire strikes fire and genius
Eliminates genius, SO one Nut cracks
and exploits another Nut. All Nuts
in one party should be the slogan, and
the Nut party in control Of the gov
ernment from soup to Nutsl-Wash-

Silent on This Point

The Democratic administration made
a record in the war SO unique IN one
respect that it ought not TO be forgot
ten, particularly BY the American tax
payer, although no references have
been made to it by the Democratic
orators at San Francisco. Chairman
Cummings said the war was expensive,
but he did not make any reference to
the expenditure of $lOO,000,00O for
t.nLs, the first of which did not reach
France until after the armiGtice was
signed; of s1l7OOO,000 on gas, i
though not a single American-made
gas shell was fired in France; OF
s.72, 900 900 for guns, only sexepty-
eight OF which reached our troops; OF
Sl2O 900 900 for nitrate plants, with
out using a pound Of their product in
the war. But perhaps the administra-
tons greatest achievement was in
spending more money in the nineteen
months after the fighting stopped than
was spent during the nineteen months
of actual warfare. Of course, the var
ious items enumerated were merely
small change compared with the feat
of spending over 81 ,OOO, ,OO0,0 900 on air
planes, without delivering a baker'9
dozen of efficient fighting planes IN

The first reports beginning TO come
in from the various threshing outfits
indicate that this is to be the record
year for both irrigated and dry Land
wheat. The irrigated distrits SCENE to
be running from forty-five bushels up
OF wheat and in some instances the
figures are way up. Link MeKinney's
big crop is going over sixty bushels
per acre and Albert Kern's is said to
have reached seventy bushels. The
reports coming from the dry lands
are proportionately encouraging. AL
these crops are running over twenty
bushels and from that up to as high

prevailing it promises to be the val
