Jack Frost
Frost made its first appearance
here last Saturday mdrning, which .
was a week to ten days earlier than
usual. Again on Sunday and Mon
day mornings there was some fr.st.
Nothing was bit to hurt much. As
a result there is a tinge of brown on
tender vegetation. There would
have been frost again this morning,
but for the clouds which came dur
ing the night.
The frost extended a good deal
farther South. In a section in Geor
gia the report was made that it came
a month earlier than usual. In this
latitude the tradition is that no kill
ing frost usually appears before the
10th of October.
Boxing is an Anglo-Saxon sport,
which explains why the Irish,
excel in it.
A MERCILESS JUDGE
One Who Shows no Vavor
A merciless judge is Father Time.
Before him the weak and the wan

can stand. For years the following
statement from a Graham resident
has withstood this sternest of all testa.
Mrs. R. 0. Phillips, Guthrie St.,
gave the following statement in De
cember,l9o7: "I suffered a great deal
from kidney trouble for »everal
years, says Mrs. Phillips. I was
very nervous at times, felt weix
and my sight seemed blurred. I to
las using Ooan's Kidney P.l a an 1

gained steadily since taking this
remedy. 1 '
On July 11, 1918, Mrs. Phillips
added, "poan's Kidney Pills have
no equel snd I can say thai- have
done me a world of good in re
lieving the pains in my back and
regulating my kidneys. I would sot

* A, Court or The League ?
* t H:'
The International Court, tin or
ganised by Mr. Root and hi* cun
frvres on the Commission and re
cently MuHnitied to the Council
of the League of Nation* for their
action, provides that, when n di«-
pute has Arisen between nation*
! which it) found to bo impossible
|to settle by diplomatic means or
> by an airi-Moment t/o arbitrate, the
complaining nat ion may bring the
CHUB before the Internationa]
Court. The court shall decide
first whether jurisdictional con
dition* have bseu complied with,
and, If sg, can hear aud determ
ine the dispute accordtag to the
next Article in the draft.
The next article provides that
HIP cjurt shall have jurisdiction
to try cases of a legal nature con
cerning the interpretation of
treaties, questions of intcrration
ai law, breaches of international
nliliuMt iomtud reparation for such
breaches, *
Jhe question arises, where is
Senator Harding to Insert bis
•♦teeth" into this court if we have
not the League of Nations? Shall
the court itself hsve power to
force nal ;ons to submit their cast*
toi*. nod how is it going to enforce
it* decree*? Suppose one nation
refuse- to appear before the court,
or, having appeared, refuses to
abide iiv hx judgment?
The I.CH»IW» of Nations ConVe
na-tt, which provides by Article
XIV of iin« treaty for an Inter
nat onal «|oiirt, provides penalties
aga"«t nations which refuse to
arbi nite their disputes or which
refuse t > carry out the court's de
cision. As one of the instruments
of the League of Natious, the
International Court of Justice will
J»e a benefaction to the world. As
a substitute for the League of Na-
it would be an impotent
and miserable iailnre.
Harding favors "a compaigo of
coDstructidn", with emphasis on
the "eon."
They say Harding uever gets
excited. Neither will he ever'get
ex-presidented.

have a very dilatory laundress. One

«la«h past the house of that dusky

On lower Washington street In Mew

the Arabs who happen to be located In
that city and here Is to be found ama
dln-. This red-brown corklike sheeting
looks as though It might be a new
kind of roofing; but If you raise It
cautiously to the nose, and sniff Impo
litely, you will detect 'the pungent
fruity odor of dried apricots. That Is
Just what It Is—dried apricots pressed
Into this form. It Is more quickly
made than the regulation dried apri
cots, and can be used for exactly the
same purposes.
Relaxation.
An outdoor sports are beneficial,
particularly to the tired business girl,
but If she Is unable to Indulge In ex
ercise during the day she should
not neglect to relax and rest for a
few moments in the open air before
retiring. It Is not the sleep that .one
gets at night that is sufficient for good
health and beauty—for one Is impos
sible without the other—but It is the
little moments of rest and deep
breathing la the fresh air that any
one can find time to enjoy that pro
duces that animated expression.
The Dean and the Duck.
The late Wttllam Dean Howells while
living in -Boston, once entertained

While Hr. Howells was carving a duck,
bis knife dipped and the succulent
bird rolled out of the platter and fell
to the floor. "Look out I' Here comes
the cat ! M said Mark Twain. "It's all

How to Control Hog Parasites.
To keep swine healthy and
thrifty, provide them with sani
tary quarters and a clean wallow,,
in addition to proper feed. But
when external parasites affect
hogs an effective remedy mnst be
used if losses are to be avoided.
Lice and mange mites are the two
principal kinds of external para
sites occurring among swine. The
mites are particularly injurious to
pigs and poorly nourished, hogs.
"Hog Lice and Hog MaHge" is the
title Of a new farmers' bulletin re
cently issued by the United States
Department of Agriculture, tell
inß specifically how So identify
and describing effeo
tive and economical remedies.
Plans of hog wallows and dipping
vats, together with directions for
building them, are given. For
information on this important
subject, ask the Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. C.,
for Farmers' Bulletin No. 1085.
Hi and Hughes.
From the Philadelphia Record.
When Senator Harding reoalls
to mind the very sharp knife
which "Hl' Johnsou, then Gover
nor of California, thrust into4he
vitals of Charles Evans Hughes
in 1916, the prospect of the Pacific
coast demagogue repeating the
performance this year upon the
Minug Republican candidate is
likely to give hiin pause in the
making of bis wearisome plati
tudes. So far as the public knows,
"Hi" bad no personal grievance
against Mr. Hughes four years
ago, and only slaughtered him at
the polls in order to insure his
own election as Senator. He now
ha« a very distinct grievance
against Mr. Harding because the
latt«*r has been playing fast and
loose with hiin on the issue of the
League of Nations. /Gamaliel has
gfven him reason to suppose that
he has "scrapped".the League—
in his own ruind, of course, for in
reality it is now in effective opera
tion—while at the same time he
Ims been giving enoouragoment to
Elibu Root aud other advocates
of the League. This is an affront
that is not likely to be forgotten.
The California olection returns
may be as interesting this year as
they were in 1916.
