This offer will be repeated, and those sending ns $1 before October 15 for new subscriptions will receive The Observer one year from that date for themselves or friends. This is an opportunity to acquaint those residing in oth er states with the resources and advantages of Polk coun ty, inasmuch as The Observer loses no chance to exploit the blue ribbon county of Oregon. The large number of inquir ies, from other states during the past year, for sample cop ies of The Observer leads to the belief that interest is being manifested in this immediate locality. . Send the home paper abroad, and thus aid in ac quiring new settlers, and the further development of Polk county. TEACHERS TO MEET. President Ackennan Will Speak Be fore Educators.

Experiences of Dallas Citizens Are Easily Proven to be x acts. The most superficial investigation will prove tliat the following state ment from a resident of Dallas true. Read it and compare evidence from Dallas people with testimony of straneers living so tar away you can not investigate the facts of the case. Manv more citizens ot Dallas endorse Doan's Kidney Pills. Mrs. Geonje Stroud, Dallas, says: "I was subject to attacks of kidney trouble. I tried many medicines and can sav that I found Doan's Kidney Pills the best of all. They regulated the action of my kidneys and improv ed my health." Price "0c. at all dealers. Don 't simply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mrs. Stroud had. Foster-Milburn Co.. Props., Buffalo, N. Y. , GAME LAWS AVAILABLE. Hunters Should Provide Themselves With Copies of Law. Fifteen thousand copies of the Ore gon game laws, ordered printed by the state fish and game commission, are ready for distribution from the office of the commission in the Pittock budding, Portland. In order that hunters mav avoid the embarrassment of finding themselves in the toils of the law. it is urged by officials of the commission that they supply them selves with copies of the laws. The tews are "free as water" says the chief clerk in the game warden's of fice, and may be had upon application. Polk county residents will receive copies upon written request 10 tne commission. He Did Do It The McMinnville Telephone-Regis-, ter has a very high regard for our honored townsman, A. V. R. Snyder. ho visited the Yamhill county fair recently. Mr. Snyder returned to Dallas to compare the Yamhill and Polk county exhibitions, and noticed that the latter had the former "beat en a mile." The Register refuses to believe that A. V. R. would go back on Yamhill county in such a fashion. Mr. Snyder is like the hy phenated American who is so muoh in the public mind just now. He has removed the hyphen that put him in the Yamhill-Polk classification, and mind and effort are all for old Polk. A. V. R. Snyder did do it, and fur-' thermore he attended the state fair last week and actually clapped his hands in joy when the judges an nounced that Polk county had taken the blue ribbon over all counties, in cluding dear, tender Yamhill. BETTER FARM METHODS. Federal Co-operation in Agricultural Extension Work Approved. Before July 1 next there will have been spent in this country $4,750,151 on the farmers in extension teaching and practical demonstration of better methods in agriculture and liome management. The great bulk of this money will be spent under the direc tion of the federal authorities, but state authorities and persons connect ed with agricultural colleges and pri vate associations will take part also in the general campaign of education. A considerable portion of this lam-e expenditure on farm education is due to the application for the first year of the Smith-Lever extension act, pro viding federal funds for farm educa tional work where the state contrib utes a proportionate share. Jt lias taken nearly a year for all the states to prepare to assist and for comple tion of the federal machinery to put the law into effect. All the state agricultural colleges receiving the benefits of the Smith Lever act hove entered into co-operative relations with the department, and in 4fl states these institutions are conducting all their extension work in agriculture and home economics un der the terms of a general "memor andum of understanding," which is used as the basis for a great variety of co-operative project agreements. May Sell Unlabeled Seed. Oregon farmers may sell seed of their own growing on their own prem ises to purchasers that buy for their own use. una noiwiinsinimnig me sigid law requiring that all seed ot tered for sale in quantities greater than one pound shall be labeled with I he percentages of purity and viabili ty. It is pointed out by the Agri cultural Press bulletins that any pos sible inconvenience in buying seed un der the new law may be overcome in this way and that not only seeds free of bad weed seed and ot strong ger minating power may be secured by farmers and gardeners, but that the home-grown seed will also have a certain amount of acclimatization. All these factois enter largely into the problem of a good crop yield next season. Big Cruise in Yamhill. W. V. Fuller left on Friday for Yamhill county, where he will have charee of an extensive timber cruis ing project for the county. The tract to be cruised consists of about 11,000 acres and will keep the Polk county forest expert busy throughout the month of October. C. O. Tennis and Arthur Hayes are other Dallas mem bers of the party which left here on Friday. The season of fire hazard is passed in Polk county so that the su pervising warden of the Polk County Fire Patrol association is free to un dertake this big job. Money in Clover Seed. Four thqiwand dollars from fifty acres of clover is the record made by Garnet McCrow of McCoy this year. Mr. McCrow got an aveiage of eight bushels per acre, and sold his seed at the machine for 17.1 per bushel. WHAT ELECTRICITY DOES FOR THE HUMAN BODY Part IV. In part one was shown how life it self depends upon electric currents in the body, in part two what elec tricity does in improving the muscles of the body, stopping spasms and contractions ami opening contracted canals of the body, in part three, what it does for diseases of the ar teries and kidneys, tor rheumatism, neuralgia lumbago et caetera. e will now see what it does in inflammatory troubles depending up on infection by disease germs. In cases where no pus has formed yet the very hieh voltage current, when applied to the swelling, will generate ozone in the tissues which kills the germs, the bloodsupply is improved and the lymphatie vessels are brought to better action, carrying off the in flammatory deposits. This is of the greatest value in such deposits around the uterus and tubes. When how ever pus has formed inside of these bodies, medium voltage currents are used which drive germ killing chemi cals into them and thus bring about a cure, without the patient being ex posed to the dangers of an operation with the knife and without removel of parts of her body. In timora the bleeding is .stopped by medium voltage currents and the tumors themselves are dissolved and brought to absorption, thus avoiding a mutilating knife operation. But the greatest value or eleetnci- ty is in the bloodless removal of cancers. It is a well-known fact that when cancers are removed with the knife, about 75 per cent return. The application of eating salves and plas ters is extremely painful for hours and days, and the irritation makes the germs and cells multiply and migrate into the lymphatic glands, thus start ing new cancers. When nowever tne low voltage currents are used to re move a cancer, there is no Iosb of blood, no pain after the operation is over. If consequently such an elec tric operation is performed in time, before the glands are afflicted, so that the entire cancer can be (removed in a single operation, there is very little danger ot the return or the cancer. for as the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are perfectly sealed up during the very progress of the electric op eration, there can be no remocula tion of cancer germs and cells into the wound, which is so often the cause of the return of the cancer af ter knife operations. As an eleetric operation is quick there is no long imitation as trom the repeated appli cation of eating salves and plasters for hours and days. Electricity is by far the safest means of removing a cancer if the operation is performed by a specialist of many years' exper ience in this work. NOTICE.
