PEACE ON EARTH

To look back upon the past year,
and see how little we have striyen,
and to what small purpose, and how
often we have been cowardly and
hung back, or temerous and rushed
unwisely in; and how every day and
all day long we have transgressed the
law of kindness; it may seem a para
dox, but in the bitterness Of these
discoveries certain consola ion re.
sides.
Life is not designed to minister to
mans vanity. He goes upon his long
business most of the tine with a
hanging head, and all the time like
child. Full of rewards and pleasure
as 1t is, so that to see the daybreak or
the moon rise, or to meet friend, or
to hear dinner call when he il hum
cry, fill him with surprising joys
this world is yet for him no abiding
city. Friendships fall through, health
1alls, WEAKNESS assails him: year af-
ter year he must thumb the hardly
varying record of his own weakness
and folly.
1t is friendly process Of detach-
ment. When the time comes that he
should go, there need be few illusions
left about himself. Here lies one who
meant we'll, tried little, failed much:
surely that may be his epitaph, of
which he need not be ashamed. Nor
will he complain at the summons,
which calls a defeated soldier from Che
field ;defeated, ay,if he were a Paul or
Marcus Aurelius but if there is still
one inch of fight in his old spirit, un-
dishonored. Give him q march with
his old bones; there out of the glorious
earth, out of the day and
the dust, and the ecstacy-there goes
another Faithful Failure.

ONE FARMER NOT AFRAID
OF BOIL WEEVIL
From The Monroe Journal:

From The Monroe Journal:
Mr.. B. w. Laney, of Buford town.
ship, made this remark to us q few
days ago: "The boil weevil is not
going to hurt the farmer who has
been getting ready for his comingW
Mr.. Laney got interested in better
cattle about seven years ago, pur-
chased pure bred bull and later
purchased pure bred heifer of the
same breed He has been improving
his herd by the use of good sires un-
til row, and his income from his cows
is about equal to his income from his
cotton, and he is not growing any less
cotton, than he did before he began
keeping cows.
Whether we want to do it or not
we have got to adjust our agriculture
to boil weevil conditions and the SOON
er we begin the better for us. An
other thing We can do this coming
year and one that we should have
done long ago, and would have done
but for cotton, that is made a pas
ture for the cows. To do this the
land should be broken now, and sowed
in February or March. Select q good
piece of land, land that will grow
good corn will grow good grass, break
it now if dry enough to plow, when
the land gets dry in February or
March, sow ten pounds Of herd grass
ten pounds of orchard grass, four
pounds white clover, and seven
pounds of Japan clover per acre, and
then forget it for year and you will
have a good pacture. Three acres of
good land will Craze four or five cows.
The suggestions outlined may not be
interesting to US now but it is not
too early to cultivate an interest in
them.

NEST EGGS Of NAPHTHALENE
INEFFECTIVE AGAINST LICE

Nest eggs made of naphthalene,
claimed or suggested by manufactur-
ers to be destroyers or repellants or
lice, might be bad eggs rather than
"lice exterminating eggs," "lice kill
ing nest eggs" and "medicated nest
eggs" for they do not seem to in
convenience the lice or mites, but
they do have bad effect on the fowls
that sit on them. In fact the entomo-
logists Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture who have ex-
amined and tested these socalled
"eggs" say that they are very injuri-
Gus to fowls, but not In q single case
were they found effective against the
parasites. Even the nest boxes in
which they were placed remained
badly infested with mites and they
were frequently observed crawling
over the naphthalene eggs.

Liberty Bonds Score
Strength in Pulling Session.

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-(A. P.)-|
Recent uncertain tendencies in the
stock market became more pronounc-
ed. Selected issues of the speculative
varieties were steady to strong at in
tervals, but leaders of the oil, indus
trial and railway groups reflected re-
newed pressure.
Aside from the confusing foreign
situation as expressed in new low
record for German exchange most
developments over the weekend re-
ceived favorable Interpretation. Latest
railroad earnings were in keeping with
last weeks favorable exhibits and re-
ports from industrial centers were en-
Icouraging
High grade rails added nothing to
recent gains, being overshadowed by
Junior issues, but steels, equipments
and coppers, together with motors and
the cheaper miscellaneous stocks, were
better by one to two and half points
The entire list turned heavy towards
the close, offerings of Mexican Petro-
leum, Baldwin, Reading and Northern
Pacific affecting losses of one to three
points in those issues and cancelhng
many gains elsewhere. Sales were
ASK shares.
Ignoring 4 1-2 per cent rate for
/ private loans, all call money on the ex-
change was placed at per cent. Tine
rates, merchantile paper and bank ac-
ceptances were unchanged, brokers re-
porting light inquiry.
The fall of German marks to prac-
tically .S6, or four points under any
previous minimum, was accomplished
by weakness in Austrian, Polish and
other central European remittances.
Far-eastern remittances again moved
contrarily. the Japanese rate falling
about half a cent, while the Chinese
quotation rose l 1-2 cents.
Liberties led to an active and broad
bond market to irregularly higher
prices and numerous convertible and
debenture rails enhanced recent gains.
Speedy sale of $31, 900. 900 of Pennsyl-
vania railroad equipment certificates
testified to the strength of the local
investment situation. Total sales, PAT
value, aggregated $1S,3S5,000.

Wheat Prices Lower
When Supply Increases

CHICAGO, Sept. 27.-(A. P.)-Ac-
cumulating stocks of wheat, together
with absence of export business, had
much to do yesterday with downturns
in the price of wheat. The market
closed unsettled 1c to "a C lower, with
December S1.24A to $1.24% and May
S1.2Sh to $1.2S&. Corn lost ~ to
3-Sc to "a and oats 1ac to SIS q 3-4c.
In provisions the outcome was un-
changed to % down.
1t was evident from the start that
the United States visible supply total
would show a decided increase. The
actual enlargement for the week pro-
we'd to be more than 5,000,000 bushels,
and with an even greater increase
shown for Canada the effect was nat
urally depressing to the bulls. Mean
while exporters asserted cable offers
to sell wheat to Europe were met with
proposals to resell, and in this
connection it was pointed out Ger
man marks had sunk to a new low.
Rallies due to profit-taking by shorts
failed to hold, notwithstanding re-
ceipt of persistent crop damage ad
vices from the northwest and despite
curtailed estimates of yield in Canada.
Corn and oats declined with wheat,
although at first relatively steady ow-
ing to talk about corn acreage having
perhaps been greatly over estimated.
On the other hand, bears stressed the
fact that the visible supply of oats is
by far the largest known.
Downturns in the value Of hogs
weakened provisions.

The human system is forever striving to get
rid Of the waste products. 1t is life-work
which goes on forever. When waste products
get in the blood, they cause lowered vitality.
As a result, we become subject to many pain
ful and embarrassing ailments.
When these symptoms appear, Nature is

the blood must be purified. Don't clog your
blood. Just clean it out. Nature will do
the rest. Pure, rich, red blood nourishes the
body and fights off disease.
S. S. S., the standard blood purifier and
system builder, is the ideal remedy for skin
eruptions. The effect Of S. S. S. is to rid

Cause of Appendicitis

When the bowels are constipated
the lower bowels or larger intestines
become packed with refuse matter
that is made up largely of germs.
These germs enter the vermiform APP
pendix and set up inflammation
which is commonly known as appen-
dicitis. Take Chamberlain's Tablets
when needed and keep your bowels
regular and you have little to fear
from appendicitis.
