Advising college girls to take ud farming seems to be a hint at “hus- bandry.” Cannon will take to the Chautau- qua platform. He wants room and air in which to explode: Kern? Kern? Where did we hear that name before? My, but those Bryan days seem long ago. Many a good sale has been lost because the clerk said “These goods are much superior to Blanks,” Possi- bly the customer never thought of Blank’s until the clerk advertised him, and then Blank made the sale. You often hear it said by some- one who ought to know better that they don’t think a great many peo- ple read advertising. This in the twentieth century! Nothing can be more evident than that advertising is widely read, or why the constantly increasing demand for advertised articles? It behooves every young man to remember that there is nothing that can prevent him from the attainment of success but his own unworthiness. These are the times of opprotunity and of reward to everv person who will grasp the one and struggle for the other. There is no such word as fail in the vocabulary of the great; and any man may be truly great even though he never leaves the bor- ders of his own county line. Lee Brings, 2 Minnesota farmer, seems to have had an uncanny pre- sentment that the early spring weather was only a trap for the un- wary. He kept ice on the roots of his apple trees. The result was that while all the apple and fruit trees on neighboring farms were joyfully blossoming several weeks ago, Brings’ had not even budded. The frost of a week ago damaged all the trees in the state, but could not damage Brings’ crop for the trees hadn’t started to grow. THE MAN WHO IS SURE. The man who is sure to himself is safe in any company. Self-con- fidence is of inestimable service to man throughout life, for it gives him intiative and enterprise, which are the bottom of all great successes. Timidity, distrust of omne’s own powers, the thought of failure are unmanning. The man who is bashful when walking into a parlor will ap- pear more like a clown than a gentle- man. The man whose knees knock together and whose voice shakes when he speaks to a convention will be heard with some measure of con- tempt. | BY THE WAY I People who live on little money look as though they lived on less. Advertising is the solar plex us of business. The little things'count—count the little things. The only recipe for happiness is to keep your face clean and your credit good. Always put off until tomorrow those you can’t pay today. There is only one day more con- venient than tomorrow—and that is the day after. The idea is to live the same on pay day as any other day. Why Salves Fail to Cure Eczema. Scientists are now agreed that the eczema germs are lodged, not in the outer skin or epidermis, but in the inner skin, Hence, a pene- trating liquid is required, not an outward salve that clogs the pores, ; We recommend to all eczema patients the standard prescription Oil of Wintergreen as compounded in liquid form known as D. D. D Prescription. A trial bottle of this D. D. D, Perscription, at only 25 cents, will .instantly relieve the itch, We have sold and recom- mended this remedy for years, and know of wonderful cures from its use. We recommend it to our patrons. Barker Drug Co. WOULD LIKE TO QUIZ HEARST Watterson Hopes New Yorker Will Be in Kentucky at Trial. Louisville, Ky., May 12.—Comment- ing on the suits. filed by W. R. Hearst against the Courier-Journal and Mr. Watterson personally for the publica- tion of the speech of Mayor Gaynor of New York at the Associated Press banquet Henry Watterson says: “It is given omt that Mr. Hearst will personally come to Kentucky to direct and conduct the suits against us. We sincerely hope that this will prove to be true. In that.event we shall try to make his sojourn interesting. If he will agree to take the stand and an- swer under oath certain interrogatives which the attorney of the Courier- Journal is prepared to ask him not only will this interest be augmented but in advance the Courier-Journal company will agree to pay him double the amount of whatever judgment he may obtain.” A touch of rhemmatism, or a twinge of neuralgia, whatever the trouble is, Chamberlain’s Liniment drives away the pain at once and cures the complaint quickly. First application gives relief. Sold by Barker’s Drug Store. KING EDWARD WAS A PLUNGER 8aid to Have Made Millions in Wall Street Deals. New York, May 12.—Wall street es- timates that the late King Edward VII. made about 15,000,000 during the declining years of his life by specula- tion “in the street.” ‘When King Edward “plunged” in the New York stock market he did it in truly regal fashion. It was re- ported in Wall street that prior to the panic of 1907 the king “cleaned up” a clear $1,000,000 ‘on a “fiyer” in Steel common. His activities were not alome confmed to steel, but he “plunged” heavily in both Union Pa- cific and Southern Phacific and made vast sums of money out of his “trades.” The splendid work of Chamber- lain’s Stomach and Liver Tablets is daily coming to light. No such grand remedy for liver and bowel troubles was ever known before.

CALLED TO WHITE HOUSE President Favors Provision Enlarging Powers of Body and Tries to Con- vince Messrs. Payne, Dalzell and Hale That Their Position Is Wrong. Progressives Say ‘Provision s -Not Broad Enough. Washington, May 12.—The tarift board provision in the sundry civil bill formed the subject of a conference held at the White House. Those who discussed the matter with the presi- dent were Representative Tawney, Senator Aldrich and Representatives Payne of New York and Dalzell of Pennsylvania, members of the commit- tee on ways and means. Formidable opposition is developing to the pro- vision enlarging the powers of the tar- iff board. Senator Hale and Messrs. Payne and Dalzell, leading standpat- ters, are particularly bitter in their criticism of the proposed law, al- though hope is expressed that Mr. Payne will be brought into line. Ultra protectionists take the pesi- tion that if the tariff board is author- ized to make extensive inquiries inte the cost of production abroad that it will amount to an admission that there is something defective in the new tariff, Mr. Dalzell is fighting the tariff board provision on this ground. He opposes it also because he believes it would disturb business by giving the impression that another revision is contemplated in the comparatively mear future. President Favors Provision. The president is heartily in favor of the Tawney provision and is in- clined to make a fight for it. If he does Messrs. Payne, Hale and Dalzell will have to array themselves against the administration, thus projecting themselves into the “insurgent” class. Progressives do not like the tariff board provision as it stands, because it lacks an inquisitorial feature. Their attention has been directed to the fact that such an amendment can be adopt- ed in the senate. At a meeting of the executive com- mittee of the Republican congressional committee consideration was given the tariff board provision. It was the opinion of the men who will conduct the Republican campaign this fall that the powers of the board should be enlarged as proposed.

Thousands of persons are leaving the city in alarm. A series of severe shocks was experienced. Many living persons have been re- leased from the ruins of Cartago-and some of these will survive. It is ru- mored that the dead include two Americans. The dead are being buried as rapid- ly as possible at the direction of the health inspectors. Dynamite is being used to lower the walls still standing. Earthquake in San Domingo. San Domingo, May 12.—A severe earthquake shock was felt here. There was no loss of life mor damage to property in the city, but reports frem the interior have not been received. John D. Rockefeller - would go broke if he should spend his entire income trying to prepare a better medicine than Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea- Remedy for diarrhoea, dysentery or bowel com- plaints.

Washington, May 12.—President Taft summoned the members of the house committee on postoffices and postroads to the White House and it is reported told them plainly that he intended to hold them responsible for the success of the postal savings bank bill, which they have held up by their refusal to report it favorably. That the conference was earnest was indicated by the fact that Repre- sentative Weeks, chairman of the committee and chief opponent of the Taft measure, did not reach his home until midnignt. Hold Run on Mourning Goods. Paris, May 12.—London merchants have raided Paris shops for mourning goods and black plumes until there is an absolute dearth of these materials.
