The Fourth and the strawberry
season are things of the past and hay
ing time is on. If we don't get a good
rain this week, the late grain will be
a failure; one good thing, it won't
cost so much to twine them.
ihe l'ourth of July picnic the
Farmers' union gave at the Clarkes
grange hall was a success. Mrs,

tended the dance at the grange hall,
which the union had rented for the
occasion.

of our country who is going to rep
resent the Millers at the front, is
about well again from the bruises he
received when he hit a rock in an 0.
W. R. & N. tunnel. Mr. Miller ought
to make a good showing at the front,
for he is a 9 per cent perfect man, a
record which few in the whole U. S.
army can point to.

let not much over six months old that

vere on the health of women, and
many are suffering from backache,

sides, joints and muscles, lumbago
and other ailments caused by over
work or disordered kidneys or blad

me." Women seem peculiarly liable
