4vERDICT BY JUDGE LYNCH"
Just Where That Famous Jurist First Held Court Has Long Been Mat
 ter of Dispute.

Lynch law" is purely an American ism. Its origin is somewhat in doubt. No such law is on the statute books. and the application of the expression today refers to outlaw or mob law which circumvents the written law, or intiicts a swift punishment before the legal authorities have had a chance to take action.
 Figuratlvely speaking, such an act is called "a verdict by Judge. Lynch" 1" According to one authority, one Charles Lynch, a patriot of Virginia. cOnspired with Robert Adams and Thomas Galloway, to deal out relent- lessly and unhesitatingly. punishment to all law breakers and Tories during the days of our Revolution.
 However, this origin is disputed. Some say that there was small body of water known as Lynch creek" in North Carolina during the same pc riod in our history, and that on its shores a court-martial was held over the lifeless body of Tory who had been hanged to prevent his rescue. Naturally, the verdict was death by hanging, and the judge did not have to bother about the execution of the sentence Plain Dealer.

If You Need a Medicine
 You Should Have thS Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why it is that so many products that are ex- tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-the article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to medicine. A medicinal preparation that has real curative value almost sells itself, as like an endless chain system the remedy IS recommended by those who have been benefited, to those who are in need of 1t.
 A prominent druggist says "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's SWamp-Root, a preparation I have sold for many years and never hesitate to recommend, for in almost every case it shows excellent re- suits, as many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a sale"
 According to sworn statements and verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact, SO many people claim, that it fulflls al- most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri- nary troubles and >neutFalizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism.
 You may receive a sample bottle of Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address Dr. Kilmer & O., Binghamton, N. r., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper. Large and medium size bottles for sale at all drug stores.AdVertisemen

III the children and young people

will happen in that community, some
thing will happen" This statement,
made by DR.. Peterson, from the extern.
sion bureau of the state university.
was only one of many facts brought
home in his talk to the high school
students Tuesday morning. He told
the students that they were not the
citizens of tomorrow, but the citizens
of today, and urged them to live in the
present instead of looking so much to
the future. He brought out the
thought, however, that too much of
one without the other, was fatal. that
one must be observant of the things
of today and also must have vision
into the things of tomorrow or one
could not live balanced, highly sue.
cessful life. He ended his talk with
the quotation:
THE purpose Of education is simply
that people may see what is going on
in the world and may learn to do their
share correctly"
