MERCHANT TELLS OF
A REMARKABLE CASE

Writing from Maxeys, Ga. A. ]. Gil
len, proprietor OF large department
store at that place, says:
II have a customer here who was
in bed for three years and did not
go to a meal at any time. She had
five physicians and they gave her up,
One bottle of Tanlac got her up; on
the second bottle she commenced
keeping house and on the third she
did all the cooking and housework for
a family of eight"
This sounds really incredible, but
ii comes unsolicited from highly
creditable source and is a copied ver-
batim from the letter.
Tanlac is sold in Hartford by Or.

UNIONIZING THE FAMERS

If the unions could enroll all
workers in their organizations, and
if the farmers would unionize, then
would the country be ruled by union
labor. But only a fraction of the
workers have signed up with the
unions, and while union labor men
have for years been trying to induce
the farmer to come in, that canny in
dividual has been rather more anus
ed than interested at the prospect.
For the farmer, first of all, is CAPT
talist. While he works and works
hard, he works not for wages but for
a return on his investment. Most
farmers employ labor, and belongs
both to the landed proprietor and the
employing classes-both of which
have been chosen by the unions as
their pet enemies.-Fall River News

thought to- the subject will find that
one of the principal thing necessary
in any legislation is to give some
agency. the War Finance Corporation

"The distress for want of credit on
account of the tremendous decrease
in the prices of agricultural products,
which seem to have been the first
commodities to have been affected by
a pronounced and material reduction
in prices and because Of which the
farmers Of the country, North and
South. East and West, are in very
precarious condition, warrants the
in going much farther
in legislation today in aid of the
farmers than in normal times; in
fact, almost as much as We would in
time of war, because we all know
that agriculture lies at the founda-
ton of all our prosperity and of all
our business, both in the country and
in the city.

NEEDED RAIN COMES,
TEMPERATURES LOWER

A fair rainfall was received in this
section during Tuesday night of this
week. 1t fell rather slowly and every
drop went in, and as the sun was
obscured during the larger portion
of the following day and yesterday
considerably greater benefit was de-
rived from the moisture. The average
temperature has been reduced from
Is to 20 degrees, great relief from
the excessive heat of the past several
days. Monday night and Tuesday
were the warmest of the season and
the hot winds of Tuesday did more
damage to crops and vegetation than
any other three or four days of the
long dry spell.
The rains seem to have been gener-
al thruout this section of the State
altho much more rainfall was noted
in nearby communities than fell in
Hartford, and other sections reported
less.

Frankfort, KY, Aug. 2.--"There

said George Colvin, Superintendent OF
Public instruction, in communica-
tions sent today to County School
Superintendent inquiring if there
are a sufficient number of distribut-
ing agents in the counties to meet
the convenience eof the schools in sup
plying school books.
Kentucky has suffered enough
from her inability to procure text
books as the children need them, y
he said. 1--WE ought to have done
with excuses and demand the books
themselves. In the event of failure
to supply any books when ordered,
am anxious to know where the fault
lies. whether it be the depository or
the publisher"
Mr.. Colvin told the superintendent
that if they would keep him advised
OF the book situation in their respec-
| tive counties he would undertake, If
LEGALLY possible, to obtain relief i'm
mediately.
Mr.. Colvin announced today that
special examination for State and
High School certificates will be held

failed to pass the examinations held
in May and June will be afforded an

WILL NOT REINSTATE
WHITE SOX 1T is SAID

Chicago, Aug. 3.-None OF the Am
erican League players who were ac-
quilted last night of an alleged con-
spiracy to throw the 1919 world Sc
rics has any immediate prospect of
being restored to organized baseball,
according TO a statement issued to-
day by Judge X NJ. Lands, national
baseball commissioner.
Regardless of the verdict Of jul
ries," said the statement, mo player
that throws a ball bame, no player
that entertains proposals or promises
to throw a game, no player that sits
in a conference with a bunch of
crooked players and gamblers where
the ways and means of throwing
games are discussed and dares not
tell his club about it, will ever play
professional baseball"
Charles A. Comiskey, owner OF the
Chicago White Sox, declared today
that the verdict freeing his former
players of conspiracy charges to
throw the 1919 worlds series did not
change his stand, and that until they
cleared themselves" to his satisfac'
ton he would have nothing to dc
with them.

ULSTER PROLONGS
SINN FEM REPLY
EndcavOr To Obtain Craig's Assent
Before Negotiations Are
Resumed

Dublin, Aug. 3-The sole reason
for the delay in the Sim Fein's re-
ply to the Governments Irish peace
proposals, it is authoritatively stated
is the attempt being made to obtain
the adhesion of Ulster to the peace
plan before resuming the negotiations
with Primer Lloyd George, so he
could be met by a united Ireland.
It is felt that there is no use to
consider the terms, it is said, until IL
is settled who are the real parties to
the bargain.
Every effort is being made behind
the scenes, it is declared, to induce
Ulster to accept a share in the pow
erful body which it is planned to
make the all-Ireland Parliament,
while retaining her own local autono-
my. So far these efforts, altho bene-
violently regarded by the Government,
have been unsuccessful.
The exception of an arrangement
with Ulster has not yet been aban'
doned. however. Should it fail to be
brought about, the Republicans, it is
pointed out, must consider whether
they will accept for the twenty-siS
counties outside of Ulster the terms
offered or renew the war. Some OF
the Republican leaders express the
view that eventual unity would be
more speedily reached by such &C
ceptanCc.
