Give Us Your Order This Fall And specify time you want car delivered. We will have it here for you. Listen! Remember THIS. Next July Fords bought now will be worth $400.00 to $460.00. The reason is New Fords will be almost impossible to get. You can buy a Ford now, drive it until next July and get more than you paid for it, You can see whit the people think of Ford Service. This year during the shortage Second Hand Fords brought more than a new one was worth because it was almost impossible to get a new one; people paid premiums to get a FORD, this goes to prove the general - public think Fords are worth more than we ask for them.

HOUSEWORK IS A BURDEN | Woman's lot is a weary one at best. | But with backache and other distres- |sing kidney ills life indeed becomes |a burden. Doan’s Kidney Pills have \made life brighter for many Butler women. Read what Mrs. Amanda M. Ryan of 511 S. Mechanic St., says: “T used to suffer much from kidney trouble. I had a heavy, dragging ache in my back and it seemed as though there were heavy weights | pulling on my kidneys.. When at my housework if I lifted anything or even sat down or got up out of a chair, a sharp twinge caught me in my back. Then too, my kidneys of- ten acted irregularly. I bought Doan’s Kidney Pills from Ludwick’s Drug Store and they fixed me up quickly.. Occasional use since then has kept me in good health and free from kidney trouble.” Price 60c at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Ryan uses. Foster-Milburn Co, Mfgrs., Buffalo, N.Y. 44-at Accident in Rich Hill Coal Mine. The sudden and accidental drop- ping of the cage, with four men, at the Peter Flexner mine. south of town at 7:30 o’clock Monday -morn- ing resulted in several of the miners being injured. The mine shaft is about 80..feet deep, but the fall sus- tained by the men was about 40 feet. The cable controlling the cage in some manner became unmanageable and. struck the bottom with consider- ‘lable force. Drs. W. H. and C. J. Allen and Dr. Delameter were sum- moned and found that Emite- Hu- WHISKY MAKING. TO END NIGHT OF SEPT. 8TH All Processes Incident to Manufac- ture of Liquor Will Cease in ; United States. Washington, D. C., Aug. 16.—All processes incident to the manufacture of whisky for beverage purposes must cease in every. quarter of the United States at 11 o'clock on the night of Saturday, September 8, Such is the decree of the Food Adminis- tration. : This action by the Food Adminis- tration was taken in accordance with Section 15 of the food control act, which reads: “That from and after 30 days from the date of the approval of this act no foods, fruits, food materials or feeds shall be used in the production of distilled spirits for beverage pur- poses,” The act was approved August 10. The 30-day period named will expire at midnight September 9. As this date falls on Sunday and as the in- ternal revenue laws prevent the op- eration of distilleries after 11 o’clock at-night on Saturday until the follow- ing Monday at 1 a, m., it was ruled by the Food Administration that the provisions of Section 15 will become effective at 11 p. m. Saturday, Sep- tember 8. The law contemplates that. all steps in the process of distillation shall cease at the point of time in- dicated in the ruling, it was stated by.the Food Administration. So far as the utilization of foods, fruits and food materials or feeds for the pro- duction of distilled spirits for bever age purposes is concerned the act should be construed as to inhibit the initiation of any step, unless the en- tire process may be fully completed prior to-11 p. m. of September 8, 1917. MAKING A DRY TOWN DRY Stopping Delivery of a Car of Beer Angered a Resident Who Hap- pened to Hold a Trump Card. Macon, Mo., Aug. 18—This town is threatened with a water famine because of a controversy between the city and a man who owns the land over which the stream supplying the reservoir. runs, . John Blanchi is the landowner who refuses to let the city have access to its water which is conserved by a dam upstream. The water would have to flow through the channel across Bianchi’s land to reach the pumping station. Recently the city and county au- thorities issued orders to the local Wabash agent not to deliver a car of beer consigned to Bianchi. Bianchi now says if the town wants to go dry he'll help it. .Mayor Lacy is in conference with Circuit Judge Drain at Shelbyville today relative to get- ting an order to open a way for the city’s water supply across Bianchi's land. Perry Langford and Miss Gertrude Lett, both of Urich, were united in marriage last Saturday evening at the M. E. parsonage at Clinton by the pastor, Rev. A. J. Murphy.—Urich Herald. Uncle Sam Planning Big for Mis- souri’s Big Fair. Every day that passes adds some new feature to the Patriotic Exhibits that Uncle Sam is getting ready to send to the Missouri State Fair Sept. 22 to 29. Not only is Uncle Sam getting together the vast dis- play of things that will incite all Missourians to a greater love of country and a keenér interest in the welfare of the boys who have gone from Missouri farms and shops and homes, but England and France are going to join in sending to Sedalia ~ this fall the greatest display of war relics and materials ever gotten to- gether. There will be guns from the Somme, grim old veterans of the great campaigns of that name. Eng- land will send relics from Flanders and the Ypres. Canadians will send relics that they have captured or used on the salients they have at- tacked and taken, But more realistic and more vivid than these speechless yet eloquent relics will be the acres of visualized warfare, with their No Man’s Land lying between the trenches that will shelter the dummy soldiers of oppos- ing armies. Into’ these trenches will crawl the “tanks” their machine guns spitting fire as they brush aside the yards of barbed wire entanglements. As they move across No Man’s- land _ the aeroplanes will rise from the hangars back of the American trenches and drop bombs on the dum- my Teutons. Back of the Sammies and_ their trenches will be the Red Cross units and ambulances and hospitals, and still farther in the rear the war kitchens and ration depots and muni- tion depots and back of these the heavy guns and'the rest camps of the Sammiés. These scenes will depict war as it is and bring to Missourians as in no other way the sacrifice and devotion that prompts Missouri's fighting men and boys to follow Black Jack Pershing against a foe that is ingenious and powerful. Many hearts will be touched and reached as never before by this pow- erful spectacle and pageant of death. One of the largest buildings in the grounds will house the exhibits that will not be used in the trench war- fare pageant in front of the huge steel grand stand. The Red Cross display will carry the message of tender sympathy for the wounded and dying Missourians on a. foreign shore fighting the battles of the cause of that liberty which is as priceless to Missourians as to any race or section of Americans, To Riley Camp, 46,518 Men. Washington, Aug. 17.—Secretary Baker today approved the disposition of the 687,000 men of the first draft as recommended by the provost mar- shal general. The average number of men allotted to' each of the six- teen cantonments is approximately forty-three thousand. Those going to Ft. Riley, Kas. are troops from Kansas, Missouri, South Dakota, Ne- braska, Colorado, New Mexico, Ari- zona, 46,518 in all. This is the second largest National Army camp, the largest being the camp at Petersburg, Va., which will have 47,086 men. Maj. Gen, Leon- ard Wood will command at Ft. Riley.
