ALL OUT OF SORTS?
So Was This POcahOntas Woman Who
Tells Her Experience.

All too often women accept their
pains and aches as natural to their
sex. They fail to realize that weak
kidneys are often to blame for that
backache, those headaches, dizzy spells
and that tired, depressed feeling.
Thousands have found new health ind
strength by helping the weakened kid
neys with Doan's Pills-a stimulant
diuretic. This Pocahontas case is one
of many:
Mrs. w. C. Bennett, Witt ST., says
MY back troubled me and l thought
it was caused by my kidneys. l felt
tired and listless and my housework
was a burden. My kidneys were weak
and out of order. heard about Doan's
Pills and when l used them the back
ache was eased and l felt better in
every way"

AGRICULTURAL NEWS
(By e. A. Kerr, County AGENT

The Farmers Week at the Univer-
sity of Arkansas at Fayetteville was
the greatest ever held. Dean Cray
says it was the greatest meeting Of
this kind ever held in a University in
the United States. The Attendance at
the meeting this year was more than a
thousand persons increase over any
previous year. People were here from
all parts Of the state and in good num-
bers from many counties.
The people Of Randolph county will
be interested to know that we had II
persons from our county and also the
County agent and wife, making total
of 10 in attendance from this county.
This meeting and the trip up there
and return are worth many times the
money and time spent in making the
trip. You are thrown in contact with
the farmers and county agents from
all over the state. You get "ideas"
and suggestions" that have never
been put in books, so you will get
something besides book farming" as
many people call it. These men tell
Of their actual experiences on the farm
and they ask questions. They don't
know all there is to be known. They
realize that there are as many differ
ent experiences on the farm as there
are farmers. They know that if they
can get these ideas and compare
them with their own ideas, they will
be better able to solve their own prob
lens.

TO IMPROVE RIVER
Deep Channel to Georgetown
Harbor Planned by Army
Engineers.

With the approval of the Secretary OF
War, Maj. Gen. Taylor. chief of En-
gineers, has allotted $114,5o0 for the
improvement of navigation in the Poto-
mac River at Washington during the
balance OF this year and the whole of
the next fiscal year, in accordance with
the recommendations Of Maj. O'Connor.
the Engineer officer in charge The
money will be expended mainly in re-
dredging Virginia Channel. in the main
tenance of the levee around Columbia
Island. IN the operation and maintenance
of the tidal gates in the Tidal Basin
and for the repair of Government plants
and property. The proposed operations
contemplate sufficient depth and width
of the channel to enable the free pas
sage OF deep-draught vessels to
Georgetown and Washington Harbors.
May Get More Later.
Other allotments are made for
river improvements at Alexandria
$1,000; at Occoquan Creek, Va, s2,7OO;
at Aqua Creek, Va, $500; at Rap

River. Va, $4,000, and Blackwater
River. Va. $4,000. All these alIot-
ments are made from appropriations
by the last Congress.
Gen. Taylor says that the amounts
now allotted are regarded as the
minimum amounts necessary for i'm
mediate use on the various projects.
In some cases they are less than
those recommended by the district
officer, but are now regarded as suf-
ficient to care for immediate needs
If it develops later, he says, that
they are insufficient such additional
amounts as may be necessary will
be allotted.
