Cardui, the woman's
tonic, helped Mrs. Wil
liam Eversole, of Hazel
Patch, Ky. Read what
she writes: "I had a
general breaking-down
of my health. I was in
bed for weeks, unable to
get up. 1 had such a
weakness and dizziness,
. . . and the pains were
very severe. A friend
told me I had tried every
thing else, why not
Cardui? . . . I did, and
soon saw it was helping
me . . . After 12 bottles,
I am strong and well."

Do you feel weak, diz
zy, worn-out? Is your
lack of good health caused
from any of the com
plaints so common to
women? Then why not
give Cardui a trial? It
should surely do for you
what it has done for so
many thousands of other
women who suffered it
should help you back to
health.
Ask some lady friend
who has taken Cardui.
She will tell you how it
helped her. Try Cardui.

FARMERS UP EARLY
WORKING THEIR CROPS
Catawba, Caldwell and Burke coun
ty farmers are straining every nerve
o produce food crops. From day
light until sundown most of them are
in the fields and they continue their
'abors without stopping from one
week to another. If the elements
hreat them half decently, their lands
will bring forth a big harvest.
"I woke up at 3:30 this morning,"
said a well known farmer and dairy
man, as he ,delVjered hijs product
i?fore a town family had fed the
chickens and eaten breakfast, "and
I was up and at work at 4 o'clock."
That made the town fellow asham
ed of himself. It was then 7:30
o'clock.
The town man, in discussing the af
fair, said he told his wife that he
should be ashamed of himself for
sleeping at a time when his friends
in the country were astir; when he
could be whipping his garden into
shape, and doing his bit. There are
a number of town folks, however,
who are up with the lark in the
morning, at that and it is a fact
that too many of them are out for a
lark lato at night. But there is a
vast difference between the meaning
of the two phrases.
land then the alumni' banquet will be
held.
Wednesday is graduation day, ex
ercises to begin at 10.30. Hon. Clyde
R. Hoey will deliver the literary ad
dress at 2 p. m. and at 8 p. m. th
senior class play will be staged.

Hickory, N. C.
Washington, aMy 15. News of the
overthrow of two dominating military
figures in the Russian capital added
xreatly to the apprehension felt here
for the democratic movement to which
the encouraging and moral support of
this government soon is to be carried
by a mission of distinguished Amer
icans. Official reports added nothing to
the brief press despatches indicat
ing that both the minister of war,
General Guchkoff, and the comman
ier of the Petrograd garrison, Gen
eral Korniloff, had been forced out of
offiice by friction among high officials
of the provisional government. The
V XI i A1
impression grew, nowever, mac wiejyear for bridge building
nhtrht of the new democracy, beset; a rf,
by ambitious partisans of the old re
gimes, by the intrigue of German
agents, might be much more serious
than surface conditions have reveal
ed. Although the American mission
which received final instructions from
President Wilson, will take pains not
to interfere unduly in Russia's inter
nal affairs, officials have made no se
cret of this hope that one of the re
sults of the visit will be to streng
then the position of the new demo
cratic government.

decided to go ahead and build the
Buffalo shoals bridge at once, put

of the old bridge as can be used,
piecing out the rest with temporary
structure. Bids receiving ranged
from $57,000 to $80,000 for the Is
