Announcement has just been made
by the Evans-Smith Drug Co, of Kan

Druggists that they have just received
a solid carload of Tanlac, containing
1000 bottles. to supply the large and
rapidly growing demand for this we'll
known medicine in Topeka and sur
rounding territory.
The fact that approximately 697,6 $50
bottles or "a carloads of Tanlac have
been SOLD and distributed by this firm
since its introduction in this state a
little over two years ago, is a business
item that will. no doubt, attract atten-

AS a matter of fact, Tanlac has al
ready become the sensation of the drug
trade in the United States and Canada
In the entire history of the drug trade
in this country no other medicine has
ever made a record worthy of compar-
ison with the truly phenomenal sales
record made by Tanlac.
The greatest drug firms of the coun-
try have voluntarily come forward and

women who stand for the best in their

The greatest test of any medicine is

takers.
In just a little over five years time
approximately 10000 900 bottles of
Tanlac have been sold. an average of
almost one bottle for every family in
America This record eclipses any
achievement Of the past in the field
OF medicine, and il becomes all the
more remarkable when it Is realized
that Tanlac is sold only through duly
authorized Agents
A further prof of the extreme pop

now become necessary to have il
shipped here in original carload lots
and 1t is conservatively estimated that
this market will require approximately
1000 bottles per day for December

HUMANE EDUCATION +

While every child should be intelH
lectually educated, it is certain thai
education of the heart is even more
essential to the welfare Of society
and to the individual happiness, and
children are entitled to both.
A strict regard to the rights and
feelings of all living creatures is the
cardinal principle of civilization, of
courtesy and of Christianity, Chill
dren are fond of animals, and by no
other means can kindness be so thor
oughly inculcated in them as by hu-
name teaching. 81 find it the best
kind of discipline, and worth any
amount of effort" writes one able
teacher after two years trial. Such
is the uniform testimony of those who
teach kindness to animals.
The vitality important work for all
friends of true education. in the home
and in the school room is this benefi-
cent nstruction-this humane edu-
cation of the millions of boys and
girls who are to be the future citizens
of the State.

Is This the
Silver Lining?

Out of the West has come the first
joyous light that may lead the people
back to reduced cost of necessities
and more normal living. Tuesdays
papers contained the glad news that
several large department stores in
Omaha had made a 20 to 25 per cent
reduction in the selling price OF THEN
various wares, and the next day they
were followed by reductions running
as high as so per cent, and were join
ed by practically all the large dealers
in that city.
The initial reduction was evidently
the spark that ignited the reduction
bomb in a number of large cities, and
reduced prices now appear to be
sweeping throughout the larger cit
les. Whether this movement to bring
prices down within reach of the gen
eral public is. to be permanent, or is
only "flash in the pam, is as yet
wholly problematical. But the gen.
eral buying public are sincerely hop
ing that this movement to reduce the
h. c. of |. proves not to be will-o'-
the-wist. The "goats"-the buying
public--have been ridden fast anc
hard, and have about reached their
limit of endurance.

AN ACID SOIL SURVEY
OF MISSOURI-TESTS
TO BE MADE FREE

Many Missouri soils are strikingly
in need of lime, according to the in
vestigations of the Department of
Soils of the University of Missouri.
The exact extent of this acidity, how
ever, is not well known. AS many of
the farmers have become more or less
interested in lime and as test of the
soil is essential before one should go
into the matter of lining the soil, it
is proposed to make an extended sur
vey of the acid soils existing in the
State, through the efforts of interest
ed farmers. The Department of Soils
will make tests for acidity on samples
sent in and report the result of these
tests at once providing the samples
are taken in the following manner:

Big Motor Truck Exhibition
Attracted Great Attention

to be served directly by use of just
such trucks as were in evidence, with
out being dependent upon the railroads
for the carrying of freight. The
present freight conditions, which are
so vitality affecting everyone, made
such presentments unusually rorce-
full. They made every effort to i'm
press upon their hearers the very
great Importance to all, personally
and collectively, of using their influ-
ence, in every way possible, for road
improvement, as this was perhaps the
most vital question now confronting
all the people.
Promptly at 8 o'clock Tuesday
morning the calvacade got under way
for the next lap of their journey,
which was expected to be a far more
hazardous journey than the first day,
Ste. Genevieve being the destination
of that day, with several intermediate
stops. When the Ste. Genevieve
county line was reached dirt roads
were encountered, the first of the
trip, and they were quite heavy and
in bad condition for the passage of
such parade. The Times is pleased
to learn, however, that that point was
also safely reached
The truck tour has come and gone,
bringing for exhibition many different
types and styles of these freight con-
veyances, which are becoming more
and more necessary in these days, with
the strife and apparent inefficiency
that is so noticeable in the inability of
the railroads to supply the people with
freight. One of the most interesting
of the trucks exhibited here was the
4000-pound capacity steel dump truck,
which was entered by the Traffic Mo-
tor Truck Corporation, a st. Louis
concern. This dump truck will ham
die most efficiently any conventional
load, and in addition will greatly
speed up and lower the cost of many
special classes of hauling.
This splendid exhibit of trucks will
doubtless help wonderfully to stimu-
late interest in these modern convey
ances, which are calculated to do sc
much toward overcoming the scarcity
of labor and lower the ever increasing
cost of production. May the day
speedily come when it will be possible
to supply the needs of the country dis
tricts in this manner. To this enc
greater attention must be given tc
good road building, one of the most
important and longest neglected needs
of the country.

MRS. THERESA KINGSLAND

Wife of the late James Kingsland, died
last Saturday at 8 p. m, at st. Luke's
Hospital, st. Louis, as a result OF an
operation for lemia, which she under
ment about three weeks ago. She
was GA years old. Mrs. Kingsland
had been afflicted in this way for sew
eral years and it was decided by the
best medical aid of st. Louis that the
only possible and probable relief was
that of an operation. But it later de-
veloped that complications set in that
resulted in her death.
Mrs. Kingsland was most favorably
known in and about Pennington and
Flat River, where she has rendered
help, aid and assistance to the sick
and helpless, and her death will be
mourned by many in this community,
who all knew Mrs. Kingsland as
NANNY Kingsland.'
Of her immediate family, three
sons and two daughters survive her:
Harry Kingsland and Dave Kings
land of Flat River, who have, ever
since the death of their father, made
and provided home for their moth
er; K. L. Kingsland of st. Louis, and
Mrs. Thomas A. Mathews and Mrs
Olin Dale Norwine, of Flat River.
Mrs. Kingsland was buried on Tues
day of this week in Bellefountaint
cemetery, st. Louis, beside her hus-
band, who preceded her to the grave
several years ago. Mrs. Kingslanc
was an active member of the Presby-
terian church, a member of the East
ern Star and Rebekah Lodges.

The motor truck expedition, which
left st. Louis early Monday morning
and was scheduled to reach Farming
ton early in the afternoon, did not
reach this city until several hours
later. In fact it was 8 o'clock, before
the first of the cavalcade made its ap-
pearance on the court house square,
which was congestcd with people, a
great many of whom had fingered
since 7 o'clock, which was the revised
time that had been fixed for the ar
rival of the trucks.
The long delay was caused by the
condition of the roads, there being
several swollen and dangerous streams
to ford, which caused the trucks to
become widely separated. It was
about an hour from the arrival of the
first truck in the city before the last
one rolled in. Many of the huge con-
veyances were heavily loaded, one carr
rying passenger car, others carrying
castings, Photographs, etc, for deliv-
cry along the route. The immense
weight of the machines, therefore re-
quired careful driving, but all of the
thirty-seven trucks comprising the
cavalcade arrived here without SER
ious mishaps
Those in charge of the local ar
rangements are to be congratulated
on the splendid manner in which the
trucks and practically hundred men
accompanying them were cared for on
their arrival here. As the trucks ar
rived they were parked around the
square, and it required some effort
to KEEP the great crowd that had as
sembled in shape so that there was not
even a minor accident. 1t was i'm

Seasons Hard
est Rain Storm

A perfect deluge of rain visited
this section of the State Wednesday
night. For several hours duration
the precipitation was but little short
of cloud burst, and swelled prac-
tically all the streams out of their
banks. Even before the coming OF
Wednesday nights storm the ground
was soaked and the streams were
full, so that flood conditions was not
difficult to reach.
1t is feared that inestimabls dam
age has been done to crops, and The
Times has information to the effect
that travel has been stopped on sew
eral railroads to the south of us, ow-
ing to serious damage to bridges and
road beds.
Rural route mail carries yesterday
were seriously handicapped and few,
if any of them, were able to complete
their routes, though all rendered the
best possible service. Many fields
which were as yet implanted by rea.
son of excessive rains and scarcity OF
labor, will now doubtless be resigned
to the weeds. Too much rain is as
great a hardship as a severe drouth.

Many Of the Harrison county farm
ers are planning to seed soybeans
with their corn crops this year ac-
cording to the county agent. They
are expecting the soybeans to help out
a great deal in balancing the rations
when the corn crop is hogged down
next fall, which has been shown by
the University of Missouri College OF
Agriculture to be very satisfactory
method Of harvesting corn. This
method should be adopted generally
this year if the present shortage Of
farm labor continues. The amount OF
seed of desirable variety obtainable
will just about determine the amount
that will be sown in most of the coun-
ties over the State.
