Com Clubs For Next Year.
Specia lto Independent.
Little Rock, Sept. 14.—W. J
Jernigan, of the United States
Agricultural Department, and
assigned to the Boy’s Corn Club
work in Arkansas, is this week
sending out to the members of
the various corn clubs in Ark
ansas report blanks for the
year’s work. Mr. Jernigan
states that he has been over
much of the ground during the
past few months, and that he
does not anticipate any large
yields as in years past, because
of the summer drouth. He an
ticipates no report showing over
100 bushels to the acre, which
he considers high for the climat
ic conditions of the year.

Tragic Mobilization Scenes.
United Press Service.
Paris, Sept. 14.—There were,
of course, innumerable tragic
scenes when the soldiers drop
ped everything and started for
the colors. One particularly
tragic is illustrative. As the
father of four little girls reach
ed his home he was presented
with the mobilization papers.
He kissed the little girls good
bye and started off, saying,
"Cod help my children.” The
eldest was six years old and
the youngest six months. His
wife was 1 . the hospital. He
had no time to see her before
he left her, perhaps forever

took the first reports that a
siege of the capital by Germans
was a possibility is contained in
the following despatch which
sent from Paris to a local news
paper:
“On the boulevards each night
the change in the Paris popu
lace is remarkable. There is en
thusiasm, but a quiet kind of
enthusiasm. There is a singu
lar absence of rowdyism and of
horseplay. The apache seems to
have suddenly become respecta
ble. People are more sincerely
polite to each other. On their
faces I have noted a blend of
gravity and gaiety; gravity ful
ly conscious of what the hour
means; gaiety because they are
fighting for France, they are
fighting against the detested |
German who was so cruelly re
! lentless after his former victory,
'and because they are not fight
ling alone, as in 1870.
“One does not hear the ‘Inter
national’ now. There is no lon
ger the verse dinning in our
ears bidding the soldiers turn
j their guns on their officers. Now
lit is the ‘Marseillaise,’ or noth
ing; I wish you could hear the j
I ‘Marseillaise’ sung by 5,000 (
j Frenchmen on the boulevards of ■
; Paris. j
“At the cafes the musical pro
gram is practically reduced to
j ‘God Save The King’, the ‘Mar
sellaise’, and the Russian Na
tional hymn. That is an even
ing attraction now. The thea
j ters are empty.” ^ ^ k
! White Way Stand Demolished.
The wagon of the Wells-Fargo

into one of the White Way ,

was knocked over and shatter

j No one was near enough to be

When I get to be old I ain’t goln*

Roman Method of Heating.
Like many other Roman houses
that have been unearthed in England,
one recently brought to light wap
heated by a system called "hypo
caust.” The entire basement was
one big furnace, from which flues as
cended, built into the walls. A wood
fire was kept in the basement, the fuel
being fed in from an outside annex
through an arch in the wail.
Not What She Meant.
The other evening at a simple
social function, opened with a game of
cards, the host caused quite a stir
among the ladies present by announc

selves at the tables: “If everybody’s

For boys and young men friendship

SAVES DAUGHTER
Advice of Mother no Doubt Pre
vents Daughter’s Untimely End.
Ready, Ky.—" I was not able to do
anything for nearly six months,” writes
Mrs. Laura Bratcher, of this place, “and
was down in bed for three months.
I cannot tell you how I suffered with
my head, and with nervousness and
womanly troubles.
Our family doctor told my husband he
could not do me any good, and he had
to give it up. We tried another doctor,
but he did not help me.
At last, my mother advised me to take
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. 1 thought
it was no use for 1 was nearly dead and
nothing seemed to do me any good. But
i took eleven bottles, and now I am able j
to do all of my work and my own
washing.
I think Cardui is the best medicine in
the world. My weight has increased,
and I look the picture of health. ”
If you suffer from any of the ailments
peculiar to women, get a bottle of Cardui
today. Delay is dangerous. We know j
it will help you, for it has helped so ;
many thousands of other weak women
in the past 50 years.
