New Medicine Helped
The Whole Family
SAYS PLEASURE TO
GIVE TESTIMONIAL

'I can honestly confirm all OF the
fine things which have been said
about Plant Juice" said Mrs. Mabel
Writ. a popular lady residing at
Oak Grove. Del. In a recent conver-
sation at the Miller Drug Store, 404-
i06 Market street. Continuing She
said:
Il have had the same experience
with Plant Juice that an the others
have had, I think, for our entire
family have had wonderful results
from f. Ny husband was so run
down and weak that I don't know
when he was able TO eat any solid
food; he had no appetite az an and
nothing seemed TO tempt him; he
was very dizzy al times and had
terrible vomiting spells; he was AL
ways worried and the least trihe
would annoy him; his nerves were
in a terrible condition and he could
not sleep. He got so bad that he was
afraid that he would have 10 give up
his work altogether. Friends Of his,
who had wonderful benefit from
Plant Juice. begged him TO get a bot
tie and try Il and he did so Il was
surprising the way he picked right
up; his appetite came back 10 him;
he now sleeps fine at night and the
headaches and dizziness have COM
pletely disappeared. He has gained
so in weight and strength and looks
so well that no one would believe he
was ever nervous. My son suffered
for long time from chronic consti-
patton and never found any medi-
cine to relieve him until he started
10 take Plant Juice. when he saw
what IL had done for his father. He
had just as good results for ne has
had no further trouble from consti-
patton and looks and feels fine It
is certainly a pleasure TO give an
endorsement FOR such a wonderful
medicine as Plant Juice"

Is 1T BLAKE?
You might despair OF the good
sense Of any one who declared that
black was white. and yet it seems
that sometimes the surname Blake
with its first cousin, Blake. has
much the same meaning as White.
These names in some cases may
mean black but It is said on good
authority they are more often de-
rived from an old word. blac, kin
dred to bleak and bleach. which
meant pale.
John Black or John Blake then
simply meant John OF pale COM
plexion. and Bohn White was usually
named for the same reason. When
these names did come black, as they
sometimes did. they had reference
either to a dark complexion. dark
hair and eyes, or 10 black clothes.

HUNDREDS GATHER
 AT BURROUGHS BIER
Famous American Nationalist
 Is Buried Near Birthplace In CatSkiIIS
By Associated Press

Roxbury, N. Y, April 3.-John Bur roughs was laid to rest this afternoon on the mountainside where he was born exactly Sa years ago today. From the peaks and the valleys of his beloved Catskill mountains came hundreds of neighbors to pay him their final honors Others from far off corners of the na- tion joined them at the grave of the great naturalist
 All morning long and in the afternoon the slope down the two miles of rocky mountain to Roxbury was dotted with groups of villagers trudging upward to the burial spot
 Back of the grave, which was blasted from solid rock and rising high to one tip of the mountain which bears his name, was the clump of woods where Mir. Burroughs hunted the fox and ob- served the birds during his youth and old age. To the right, over a little knoll. the weather-blackened house in which lie was born could be seen. Behind the grave a great boulder on which Bor- roughs playing as boy and often sat n the twilight shadows as a man of the wide outdoors, formed the slab of his resting place. Soon a bronze plaque will be imbedded in the stone to immortalze it's significance.
 Down the slope a few yards in Wood : chuck Lodge,' Burroughs summer home where he did much of his writing and where he occasionally became host to his close friends, Thomas A. Edison Henry Ford and Harvey S. Firestone. They stood behind the grave today and when the ceremony was ended paid a visit to the lodge"
 The burial service was simple. There were few short prayers, followed by the recitation of poems. after which the casket was lowered into the grave.

Agricultural Department Issues Report Upon Cotton Pros pectS-Situation Is Not
 Regarded as Bright
Rr Associnted Prese


 Washington, April 3.-Cotton grow CTS can meet the present price situa- ton by "carefully considering" ope- rating expenses and reducing them whenever there is a likelihood of ob- taining low yield per acre, the de- pertinent of agriculture says in a report today on the results of sur vey on basic requirements and cost of producing cotton.
 By applying last years man-and- mule rates for labor. and prices then paid for seed and fertilizer to the basic requirements in an investigation in Mitchell county, Georgia. the aver age operating expenses of cotton was liked at approximately 33 cents per pound there.
 Man-and-mule rates for labor in fhis Investigation and seed and fer tilizer costs, the department says con- stituted S4 per cent of the total ope- rating expenses exclusive of land rent. Other expenses amounting to 16 per cent of the total included such StoLuS dS SlHulnBp manure, eQulpmSnt taxes, insurance and overhead. Man labor was charged at the rate of 30 cents per hour, mule labor 20 cents per hour seed s81 per ton and fer tilizer at s46 per ton. From the total cost of $56.16 per acre seed credit of $S.90 was deducted. making total net cost of $52-26.
 Asserting that the rates for labor and seed did not start to decline until after the 1920 crop had been produced, the report adds:
 With cotton around 1z to Is cents per pound the returns not only al- lowed no interest on capital, but failed to pay operating expenses at going rates for labor and prevailing prices of agriculture. With cotton at 15 cents per pound, it would require a yield of 46o pounds of lint to cover operat- Ing expenses.
 The application of the basic require ments of production in estimating costs should be of vital interest to growers at this time" the report adds ''The history of the year 1920 will not be aorgotten immediately and it will be safe to say that the lessons of this period will bear some fruit"

Washington, April 3.-Rene Viviani, former premier of France, who is on a mission to this country as an envoy ex- traordinary, conferred for more than two hours today with Senator Knox of Penn syivania at his home and took occasion it is understood, to express appreciation of the policy of this country as recently stated by administration officials that Germany must accept full responsibility for the war and pay her liabilities to the full extent Of her ability.
 State department officials said tonight that no note had been dispatched to Ger many outlining this position, and pointed out that inasmuch as state of war tecn- nically exists. no notes could, under diplomatic usage, be dispatched to that government.
 In discussing the situation as affecting France, however, M. Viviani is under stood to have taken cognlzance of the utterance of administration officials con cerning Germany's responsibilities and to. have made clear that it could but tend greatly to dispel the possibility of any embarrassment his country might feel especially in the matter of reparations should the United States now declare a separate peace.
 The French envoy is also understood to have informed Senator Knox that any such declaration as contained his resolu- tion in the last Congress for terminating the war and stating in substance that the United States would view with grave concern war involving the peace ot Europe would do much to relieve the anxiety of the French people for the future.
