D«partment4of Agriculture Report #»r Week Ending: May 19,1909. OF A PERSONAL NATURE (Continued from page one.) The past week has generally been favorable for farm work, though corn planting has been interrupted somewhat in the northern district by heavy rains and wet ground. Good rains fell in the northern distri^fct the beginning and at the end of the week. These rains, however, were in the form of local showers, and, though falling over most of the district, in some places they were light. Good local showers fell at many places in the western part of the central district and at scattered places in the eastern part of the central and in the southern district. Over the greater portion of the southern and the eastern part of the central district, however, the weather has been dry. In the southeastern part of the central and the northeastern part of the southern dis­ trict the condition has beoome quite drouthy. Wheat and rye are growing nicely in the northern district and show some improvement over last week's condition. This is also true of these crops over a large part of the oentral district and in some localities in the southern district, but over the greater portion of the southern district and in parts of the central district the condi­ tion is less favorable than at the end of last week. Some injury by cinch bug and Hessian fly is reported. Much wheat has begun to head. Oats are growing nicely in the northorn district and in parts of the central district, btit over the southern district and much of the central district their condition is not so favorable. Dry weather and chinch bugs have both damaged the crop.. Corn planting is gearing com­ pletion over most of the state, and a great deal of the crop is now up and looking well. There has been some in­ jury by cut wornis, sufficient to require replanting in a few cases. Don't Start Wrong:. Dont start the Bummer with a linger­ ing cough or cold. We all know what a "summer cold" is. It's the hardest kind to cure. Often it "hangs on" through the entire season. Take it in hand right now. A few doses of One Minute Cough Cure will set you right. Sure cure for cougtft£ colds, croup, grip, bronchitis, all throat and lung troubles. Absolutely safe. Acts at onoe. Chil­ dren like it. "One Minute Cough Cure is the beet cough medicine I ever used," says J. H. Bowles, Qyoveton, N. H. "I never found anything else that acted so safely and quickly." Julia A. Story. McHenry;G. W.

Burns, cuts and other wounds often fail to heal properly if neglected and be­ come troublesome sores. DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve prevents such conse­ quences. Even where delay has aggra­ vated the injury DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salye effects a cure. "I had a running sore on my leg thirty years," says H. C. Hartly, Yankeetown, Ind. ' 'After using many remedies, 1 tried DeWitt's Witch Hazel Salve. A few boxes healed the sore." Cures all skin diseases. Piles yield to it at onoe. Beware of counter­ feits. Julia A.

Whooping Cough.

Our oldest little girl would call lustily for cough fcyrnp between whoops.--Jessie Pinkey Hall, Springville, Ala.

' tt Will be a matter of interest to the school people of Illinois and to others, who are especially interested in the pro­ fessional education of teachersp"-ta4earn that Illinois has for the first time tafem^ the front rank in the oratorical contest between the states of Wisconsin, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri and Illinois. These contests are held annually, each of the above mentioned states selecting an orator. In states in which there are two or more schools a primary contest is held for the purpose of selecting a representative for the state Thus, in the state of Wisconsin there are seven Normal schools; in Missouri, four, while Kansas and Iowa have but one each. Although Illinois has four Nor­ mal schools only two competed this year for the privilege of representing the state--the schools at Normal and at DeKalb. The latter school having won in the primary contest its representa­ tive, Mr. W. R. Mofet, went to Em­ poria, Kansas, as the representative of the state and won the first place. The next contest will be held at De­ Kalb in May, 1908, the same states sending representatives. The matter was of especial interest to DeKalb peo­ ple, since this is the first year in which that school has been represented and it is also the first contest in which Illinois has won either first or second place. The annual commencement of the school at DeKalb was held June id, when a class of fifty-eight gradu­ ated. At the end of the present year, which is the third of its existance, it will have graduated one hundred twenty- five students, which is unparalleled by any previous record made in this state. The summer school of six weeks will open immediately at the close of the regular session, June 28. Reveals a Great Secret. It is often asked how such startling cures, that puzzle the best physicians, are effected by Dr. King's New Discov­ ery for consumption. Here's the secret. It cuts out the phlegm and germ-infect­ ed mucus, and lets the life-giving oxy­ gen enrich and vitalize the blood. It heals the inflamed, cough-worn throat and lungs. Hard colds and stubborn coughs Soon yield to Dr. King's New Discovery, the most infallible remedy for all Throat and Lung diseases. Guar­ anteed bottles 50c and $1.00. Trial bot­ tles free at Julia A. Story's, Attractive Women. All women sensibly desire to be at­ tractive. Beauty is the stamp of health because it is the outward manifestation of inner purity. A healthy woman, is always attractive, bright and happy. When every drop of blood in the veins is pure a beauteous flush is on the cheek. But when the blood is impure, morose- ness, bad temper and a sallow complex­ ion tells the tale of sickness, all too plainly. And women to day know there is no beauty without health. Wine of Cardui crowns women with beauty and attractiveness by making strong and healthy those organs which maka her a woman. Try Wine of Cardui, and in a month your friends will hardly know you. The Most Common Ailment. More people suffer from rheumatism thanfiom any other ailment This is wholly unnecessary too, for a cure may be effected at a very small cost. G.

On Tuesday morning, May 18, 1002, Mrs. Anna Clandon passed away at her home in Che~oa, 111. She was the mother of A. O. Rupp, at one time editor of The Plaindealer and later editor of the Journal, of this village, and while he resided here she visited him several times. A number of our citizens remember the lady quite well. Mrs. Clandon was the mother of six children, two of whom died in infancy. She was married twice. Her' first husband, Joseph Rupp, died in 1860. Her second husband, Christian Clandon, passed away in 1892. She belonged to a family of nine children, two brothers and a sister survive her. She belonged to the Mennonite church over sixty years. Her father, three brothers and a brother-in-law were ministers of the gospel in that faith. She was born near Nancy, France, in 1826, and was in her seventy-sixth year when she died. She emigrated to this country in 1856, settling in Illinois. Hei maiden name was Baechler. Dr. A. E. Baechler, formerly of this village, was a nephew. Mrs. Clandon was a woman of fine traits of charaoter and charming man­ ners. The funeral services were held on Thursday afternoon of last week. Like a Drowning Man. "Five years ago a disease the doctors called dyspepsia took such hold on me that I could scarcely go," writes Geo. S. Marsh, well-known attorney of Nocona, Tex. "I took quantities of.pepsin and other medicines but nothing helped me. As a drowning man grabs at a straw I grabbed at Kodol. I felt an improve­ ment at once and and after a few bottles am sound and well." Kodol is the only preparation which exactly reproduces the natural digestive juices and conse­ quently is the only one which digests any good food and cures any form of stomach trouble. Julisi A.

"I have been afflicted with sciatic rheumatism for fourteen years," says Josh Edgar, of German town, Cal. "I was able to be aroud but constantly suf­ fered.

Klgin Graduate* Will Establish Prece­ dent on Commencement Day. The students of the high schodl Elgin will set an example that may be followed by many other schools in the forthcoming graduation exercises. A regulation cap and gown is to take the place of any fine dress display on the stage. Mull, organdies and Swisses are tabooed, however much some of the girls would like to array^ themtelves in white. It is the same old story of the poor girl who is up in her class in brain power, but lacks the means with which to purchase an immaculate outfit and wants to receive her diploma as she sits in the audience. The school board of Elgin is now discussing the matter and it is said will recommend' a stage garb within the reach of every sweet girl of the graduation class. It will be a cap and a gown, the cost of which - is to be limited to $5. This may stir up a smull sized rebellion, but there is a prospect of the plan being adopted. Holds up a Congressman. "At the end of the campaign," writes Champ Clark, Missouri's brilliant con­ gressman, "from overwork, nervous tension, loss of sleep and constant speak­ ing I had about utterly collapsed. It seemed that all the organs , in my body were out of order, but three bottles of Electric Bitters made me all right. It's the best all-round medicine ever sold over a druggist's counter."
