James J. Hill Talks Sense About Farm Betterment. Spokane, Waah.Nov.14. King J. J.Hill.the great western railway king gives his endorsement to the nation made farm betterment ''Always the first and most im portant matter is to reach the indi vidual farmer and show him what he himself can do on his land. The most highly educated agricultural professor or teacher, when placed upon a farm, can do little more, if anything, beyond adapting his crop to the sou. to select gooa eeea ana to properly cultivate the land that is all within the reach of the average farmer. "He can or should know what crop bis land is best adapted to raise. He can test bis Beea by tak ing a hundred grains of each kind and planting them in a box of aver age soil and place the box in a place where the sun will 8 nine npon it. The number of grains that grow will give him the percentage of good s?ed from which he will get results. He Bhould use every particle of barn yard manure as fertilizer and he Bhould prepare his seed-bed by thorough cultivation before plant, ing and then it Bhould be well har rowed. "That is pratically all that the beet informed agriculturists could do under tbe Earns circumstances, if the farmer ia successful in raising full crops I think it is fair to assume that he can be trusted to improve all his home surroundings and his soci al ooudition, If hid farm work is not well done and the results are poor crop3, liie other work will not appeal to him uor can be uiloru to spend much time or uiOLey on other matters. "Mcst of the men who discuss agricultural eubj-'Cts are apt to talk over the heads of their audience and to talk about matters beyond the reach of tLe average farmer. Many of our agricultural schools are more engaged in turning out teachers ra ther tbau f aimers. '"In the agricultural countries in Europe, cgricultural education has further advanced than with us. Great Britain has worked at it for a century and has raised its yield of wheat from 14 or 15 bushels per acre to 33. Denmark, with an area ot about twice the size of Massa chusetts, has more than 50 agricul tural colleges and schools and in practically everv neighborhood ex perts are assigned to help the farm ers in a practical and common-sense way. In Belgium every school must maintain a garden of at least 39 1.2 tquare rods. All these efforts bring the better methods of cultivation di. rectto the farmer. ''At the National Educational as sociation meeting, last year, a speak, er said: '1 recently heard a young agricultural college graduate, who had been placed in charge of a farm deplore the fact that he and others like him conld go through college acd receive a bachelor's degree in agriculture without anywhere, either in high school or in college or on a farm, learning how to plow, or dig a ditch, or harness a horse, or milk a cow." "What will help a farmer most is clearly to enable him to help him. Eelf and this can be done by showing him on his own farm. We have tried manj methods and found that the only results worth while have been obtained by showing the farm er through the preparation of a small plot of ground, say five acres, how to cultivate his land. ''Manual training would never amount to anything if the pupil did not actually make things, and the same applies to the cultivation of the farm." Regarding the farmer being inter ested in the prosperity of the wage, earni r and the business man, Mr. H1! says: "Our agriculturcl population 40 jeara ago wus about 50 p r cent of the en tire population of t!)e ouotry. It is new k'sa than one-third. Fortj years ago the 8gricultur.il popuiti. tion had to raise food for their own mouths and for one additioual uioutti Now we have to raisa food for two additional mouths. 'Relying upon onr hem-j market, which was furnished mainly by the agricultural portion of our commun ity, we had stimulated u.dusrries until we had destroyed the propor tion between production and con sumption, and the time is rapidly approaching, if it is not already here, when many of Jour industries will be compelled to ' seek a market in other countries for their produc tion or cease to produce. "Tbe scarcity of good farm labor today is felt by every farmer in the country and the want of it Is com. pelling him to limit his cultivation practically to what can be done by machinery. It is very difficult to get farm labor competent or willing to take proper care of live stock or milk a cow. Still, if you should tfsk, any labor leader in the counjtry he would isy that some steps should be taken to restrict immigration of that class. ' "Tbere are certain laws that gov. c.tn thcB. questions, regardless of NO DYSPEPSIA OR STOMACH DISTRESS Heartburn, Gas, Sourness acd Stomach misery vanishes There would not be a case of in. digestion here if readers who are subject to Stomach trouble knew the tremendous anti-ferment and diges tive virtue contained in Diapepsin. This harmless preparation will di. gest a heavy meal without the slightest fuss or discomfort, and re lieve the sourest acid stomach in five minutes, besides overcoming all foul. Nauseous odois from the breath. Ask your pharmacist to show you the formula, plainly printed on each 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin, then you will readily understand why this promptly cures Indigestion and removes such symptone as Heartburn, a feeling like a lamp cf lead in the stomach, Belching of Gas and Eructations of undigested food, water brash, Nausea, Head ache, Biliousness and many other bak By mp tons; and, besides, yon will not need laxatives to keep your stomach, livtr and intestines clean and fresti. If your Stomach is sour and full of gas, or your food doesn't digest and your meals don't seem to fit, why not get a 50 cent c se from your druggist and make life worth living? Absolute relief from Stnu. ach misery and perfect digestion of anything you eat issuie to follow five miuutes after, and, besides, one 50-cent cise ia sufficient to cure a whole f .un'ly of such trouble. Surely, a harmless, inexpensiye preparation like Pape's Diapepsin, which will alwajp, either ut day time or during night, relieve your stomach misery and digest your meals, l&about as naady and valu able a thing as you could have in the house. Po nted Paragraphs. There's no place like home and Eome married men are glad of it. A charitable man never has to look for an opportunity to get busy. Beware of a boss girl, young man unless you are looking for a boss wife. Many a man acquires a resi dence on Easy street by being the architect of somebody else's fortune. A selfish man never realizes how few friends he has until he finds himself laid up for repairs A man might be crazy to go to church, too, if he was more inter ested in hats. A girl feels as safe with a love letter under her pillow as a man with a pistol under his. The worst luck a woman can have is to be rescued from a fire when all her best things are in the wash. The way a woman knows it's mice, not burglars, downstairs in the middle of the night is how anxious her husband is to go down to meet them. At a meeting of the Southern Furniture Manufacturers' Associa tion in Winston.Salen. last week $1,325 was raised as a fund for faghting for oetter freight rates to the Pacifij coast from North Caro lina.

Women's Work Department Was Chief Feature Much Interest Shown. The Davidson, county fair ended with exercises of "Educational day." The weather was bad and the crowd was apparatively small- There were not more than 5,000 people in town. Last year the crowd was estimated at 20,000. Dr. J. Y. Joyner made a great speech at the opera hous. tie was neard by a large and atten. tive audience and his speech made a fine impression. Dr. Joyner has many friends in Davidson county, as a direct result of hia masrerly ad dress and his very pleasing person ality. The Women's work department of the fair was one of the fiuest fea tures of it. The number of entries was astonishing and the interest taken in tbe exhibits was nnnsual. W. M. Montgomery, of Greeusboro, judged the poultry sliow, lie was very fair and more luan pleased all exhibitors- He jaid tbe entries were very fine and he was surprised to see that there was so much poultry around Lexington. The farm pro ducts department was crowded to the limit. A large store room had beeu secured, but this was not enough to hold them. They made a fine show ing of the agricultural wealth of the county. Owing to bad weather the parade of school children was dispensed with, much to their disappointment In the three departments named there were a little more than 800 separate and distinct entries, show ing the great interest taken in the fair. S:ere.ary Sprnil, who looked after all these entries, w.is the busi est mv.i on the grounds and deserves much credit for the vay he handled th"eg. The afternoon was taken up with reel races pulled off- by the local fire company and a few race horses. Tonight a big crowd watch ed the magnificent display of fir - works. According to a writer in The Youth's Companion, folks who dislike mosquito bites should wear yellow. "The m-equito shuns yellow on all occasions," and as its vision is keen by nigut, one should sleep in a yellow bed, in a yellow rocm, with yellow appur tenances. Schojl Betteiment Assoc ations The public Echoolsare now under way for winter terms. School betterment associations should be organized in every school district, both parents aud pupils may belong to these association. The combined efforts of parents atd teachers and pupils iu these associa tions prove quite helpful in many instances. They gw-t together know each other better and accomplish more. Some of the things that can be done by these associations an.: 1. To paint or white wash the school building. 2. Get a library. 3. Build an addition to the old school building. 4. Kepair the schocl building if needed. 5. Keep the building and the grounds clean. 6. Remove any stumps or bsd trees. At least something can be done to improve conditions at every school house. Let some one m every school district start the matter by a or ganizing a school betterment society.

FRED'S TRIP TO Freddy Bryan was sick, so sick tnat he bad to lie on the couch all day, and his mamma didn't know whether be was going to bare tbe mumps, whoop ing cough or measles. She feared all three when be would not get up to play and ate so little. She remained by his side, giving tbe medicine the doctor ordered. Only when she bad to go out Into tbe kitch en to prepare meals was be alone. He had u beautiful pillow to rest his head on, and be was not so sick but that be liked to look at it and wonder about it. for all one side was a pic tureand such a beautiful picture! There was blue sky with white clouds, green grass and tall trees, a great big castle with a yellow path leading straight up to It, and a big mill with a great wheel, churning tbe water of a little stream into a white foam, while water lilies and blue flag flowers stuck their heads out of the water, as if in viting some one to pick them. He thought how much he would like to go up the winding walk to tbe castle aud find out whether there were any little boys and girls in there to play with. Then tbere was a cute looking little boat tied to a stake in front of the mill. How be would like to get in It after visiting the miller and. sail up the little stream to find out what more there was beyond where the stream seemed to end. Might it not be the THKN A HEAD STOCK OUT OF ONB OF Tflll WINDOWS. commencement of Fairyland? If be were only up In the top of one of those tall trees he might see. Ileigho: Ilow tired he was! If be could only rest in 6uch a beautiful place he might soon get welL And be took the pillow in both bands and turn ed it slowly around and around. Then a bead stuck out of one of tbe windows of the castle, and a sweet voice said. "Kuow you not, little boy, tbat this Is an enchanted plUow?" "What is thatV" asked Freddy. "Why. a pillow of strange sights and sounds. Fairies live in tbe castle, run the mill and play by moonlight on the grounds. It is enchanted land." Ami a beautiful red light burst out of the window, making the little fellow that was talking look like white wax. "Can't 1 eome to the castle to see you?" asked Freddy. "Tes, if you wait until moonlight." was the reply. Then the next thing Freddy knew the moon came up slow and full and showed him the way to the mill, wbrre a man. dressed lu a snow white suit, was turning the Rreat wheel around. Be showed Freddy how to do it. after which the little boy got into tbe bout and. with a pair of silvery white onrs. rowed upstream until he came to a straupre land, where tiny creatures, oil trimmed up with flowers, were dnnc Ing, holding bunds. Freddy felt so gay that be took bold of bands and danced, too. after which they all wen! to the .enchanted palace and had a Const .f cl:"".;.'s t.;;' v.z.r pnrr..

C;ti and Dogs. To say that It Is raining cats and dogs Is ineorrect unless tbere is wind as well as ruin. That Is because the saying has a history. In the stories that people told 2.000 years ago in the north of Europe tbe cat was the ani mal that ruled the rain and the dot: was the one that made the wind blow. The people that told these stories were the ancestors of most Americans, and o the stories have stayed with us. pi '-j Read the Labels. The pure food and' drug law was designed for the protection of all, but it only protects those who read labels. The law prevents false claims on the labels not in the advertising. The law makes the label tell if the medicine contains alcohol. Not so in the adver tisement. Read the Label The law specifies a list of such drugs as are considered dangerous unless prescribed by a physician, such as opium morphine, cocaine, acetanelid. canabis indica, chloral, arsenic, strychnine, etc., and makes the LABEL tell if any of them are contained in the medicine. The advertising does not have to. Therefore when buying medicine Rend tllC Label The next time you are inclined to buy a tonic or a remedy for any of the ill that come from impure, impoverished or acid blood, ask your druggist to let you read the j label on a bottle of MILAM. This preparation hat no rival. If you suspect any other preparation of being in its class, Read the Label. Look for a guar, antee of benefit Look for ALCOHOL, and other dangerous and habit forming ingredients. Any preparation can claim what we claim in their advertising: NONE CAN on their labels.
