One of the most vivid accounis of an episode of the war conies from the l.okal Anzeiper of Auust 24. It is a letter from I'aul Oskar lloetker. a Lerlin play right, now serving as captain of the reserve. Ilis play " Nation in Arms" Is beinK piven at the lii rli.i oiera houses. He describes a mission on which he was dispatched to search for arms in Belgian village from which hhots had been fired by civilians on the Germans. His instructions were that those in whose possession arms were found after they had declared they had none were to be shot. At Jungbush. he says he found at one house an old man, a woman and a girl of 13. "Then a terrible thing happened. A sergeant and a private dragged a young fellow out of the hou.-se. They had found him hiding among the straw in the loft. He had in his hand a Belgian rifle loaded with live cart ridges. From the opening in the roof he may have aimed at many an honest German. The youth had to put his hands up. Stammering and deadly pale he stands there. "Who is this youth?" I ask the old man. As if struck by lightning they all three fell on their knees wail ing. The woman groaned, 'he Is my son. For God"s sake you are not go ing to kill him?' and the little girl sobbed as If her heart would break. The prisoner tried to escape, but was put tip against the wall by the men. i had to picture to my self by force the German patrols riding through the night with the bullets J of treacherous Francs tireus whistl-' ing round their helmets and think of the tall figures and bright eyes of, our fellows in order to master my nerve in face of this sorrow and ful fill my orders. "He has to be shot. Three men! Ready! I "The throe men commanded, who were fathers of families two from' Berlin and one a farmer, did not turn ' a hair. This is Just business. The' volley rang out. The trembling body collapsed to the ground and did not j move again. The boy's eyes are , closed. His face had not changed j its expression. Death by our rifle , is painless. " 'We outht lo burn the old man's house over his he:d.' said one of my men. " 'Quick, march, I ordered. , "The three peasants are slill kneel ing on the croud: the corpse lies up against the wall." ('OMIilNF.It SHOWS Alti: COMING. "Cured" Mrs. Jay McOee, of Steph enville, Texas, writes: "For nine (9) years, I suffered with womanly trouble. I had ter rible headaches, and pains In my back, etc. It seemed as if 1 would die, I suffered so. At last, I decided to try Cardul, the woman's tonic, and it helped me right away. The full treatment not only helped me, but It cured me." TAKE Garui The Woman's Tonic Cardul helps women in time of greatest need, because It contains ingredients which act specifically, yet gently, on the weakened womanly organs. So, if you feci discouraged, blue, out-of-sorts, unable to k J do your household work, on account of your condition, stop worrying and give Cardul a trial. It has helped thousands of women, why not you? Try Cardul. E-71 The W heeler Bros, Circus At Famous Stampede Wild West. All the contracts necessary for the inunienible details of the exhibition of a large circus institution have been made for the early appearance in this city of the Wheeler Bros. Circus & The Famous Stampede Wild West. This i one or the world's largest amusement enterprises, and because (if its peculiar combination it is probably the most interesting. It is advertised by the manage ment that it is without a peer In point of performance, and it would neem as if this boast is justified in a combina tion which Includes two such shows. The Wheeler Bres. has for years been conceded a place in the front rank of circuses, and In many points it hns been given first place. It could not be excelled for its horses, the quali ty and completeness of its equipment or the attention given to the numer ous details which are essential for the production of a performance of unusual merit. Although the Wheel er Bros, have always refrained front featuring some five-second act as a thriller, used purely for advertising purposes, their patrons hav always found many surprises in itore. and now they have come forward with the boss thriller of them all a Mexican Bull Fight, a thrilling reproduction by the Mendaza troupe of genuine Mexican bull fighters. When the combination of the Wheeler Bros. Circus and Famous Stamped Wild West was accomplish ed, the amusement world was not surprised, as the combination had been predicted. The deal was a for tunate one for amusement patrons, inasmuch as they are now able to see the two shows for the prices for merly charged by one. To enable the performances of the two exhibitions to be given simultaneously and with out cutting out a single act of either, has been a great herculean task, but it has been accomplished, and the re sult will be seen when the Wheeler Bros. Circus & Famous Stampede Wild West Shows appear in Monroe on October 3rd. Adv. Only One "BROMO QUININE" To grt th trouble, call for full !. tAXA TIVU BROMOUL1N1NH. Looktof ignatureot 8. W. CROVB.

In this country the great increase In population is in the cities, while the food-producing class is increas ing comparative slowly. The re ports on agricultural products ex ported from the United States, says the Popular Science Monthly, illumi nate the food problem In an instruc tive way. If we compare the -ports In 1912 with those of 1900 we find that the amount of cheese shipped abroad declined 85 per cent in that period, beef products declined 65 per cent, pork products declined 30 per cent, corn declined 80 per cent and wheat declined 57 percent. What do these figures tell? Simply that we have needed the food at home to supply our Increasing mil lions and hence had less to sell in the markets of the world. Can we con tinue to feed our people by reducing tho Bvnnrts In foodstuffs? OblVlOUS- ly not, and in many Instances they have been reduced aireaay near me vanishing point. We have even ac tually begun to Import meat and corn. It is significant also that free government land suitable for agri cultural purposes is no longer availa ble; hence we cannot look for relief by bringing under the plow large tracts of vergin toll. 3!

It is time for us to show our patriotism and our progressive earnestness. We regret deeply that the war must be yet, we are in no wise to blame and are happily far removed from the field of battle. Our duty to ourselves and our moral obligation to the rest of the world com pel us Americans to be up and doing; to maintain a cheerful and hopeful spirit, to operate our industries and business enterprises, to pay our bills promptly and to conduct our affairs generally on conservative but enthusi astic lines. & ' The Sikes Co.
