A PISCATORIAL LABOR SAVER. (Prom Louisville Courier Journal) Washington There are inventions and inventions and still more inven¬ tions desgned to lure the finny tribe from the waters, but it took Uncle Eph Johnson? aged negro, native of Scott county Kentucky, to bring forth the invention that reduces to the minimum the labors of the fisherman. Uncle Eph's invention allows the disciple of Izaak Walton to cast his line into the water and lie down to piscatorial dreams with the firm con viction that when the fish bites he will be awakened from h^ slumbers in time to land his catch. 'Tis simple, this invention of Uncle Eph's. It is not patented. On the contrary, its imentor offers it to any and all devotees of the rod and reel. Stick an umbrella rib perpendicu¬ larly in the mud fin the bank, fasten, a sleigh bell near the top and con¬ nect the line with this "invention" and you are ready to figh and sleep. "It ain't .nothin' more'n a labor saver," said Uncle. Eph. "You see, every time I get a bite the bends the umbrella rib and the bell rings. Den I wakes up an' hauls him in." The aged negro, who years ago courted the finny tribe in Elkhorn Creek, is spending the remaining years of his life teaching his grand¬ son to fish in the Potomac.

All these locals have received their Union charters on which the names of the charter mem- Ders arc written, and they are the names of the men who are the most progressive and broadminded farmers in the county. They were the first to realize- the duty toward their neigh bors and fellow farmers to join that strong and growing Farmers Union, in order to meet the powerful organi¬ zations of business and labor success¬ fully. Their names will be preserv¬ ed for the future and the next gener¬ ation will look with respect to those men who were the pioneers of the Highland County Farmers Union.

XX Over fifty years ago a young physician practiced widely in a rural district and became famous for his uniform success in the curing of disease. This was Dr. Pierce, who afterwards estab¬ lished himself in Buffalo, N, Y., and placed one of his prescriptions, which he called "Golden, Medical Discovery," in the drug stores of the United States so that the pub¬ lic could easily obtain this very remarkable tonic, corrective and 'blood - maker. Dr. Pierce "manu¬ factured this "Discovery" from roots* and barks . a corrective remedy, the ingredients of which nature had put in the fields and forests, for keeping us healthy. Few folks or families now living have not at sometime or other used this "Golden Medical Discovery" for the stomach, liver and heart. Over twenty -four million bottles of this tonic and blood "remedy have been sold in this country. BAKER FARM SOLD J; M. Swope and W. S.

(Copyright, 1920, Western Newspaper Union) Alton Beardslee had arisen to an uncomfortable and Inauspicious morn¬ ing. In the first place he had been routed out of bed at 7 o'clock and called to the telephone, where his broker informed him that Consolidated Central had closed the day before on a steep decline and that they would call for margitfs by noon if the market opened "groggy." "With my marriage with Laura Pearson announced for only fifteen days from now, the prospect looks de¬ cidedly blue," ruminated Beardslee drearily. "Why did I ever get into this juggling stock game?" His eye§ blinked and he tried to baffle an annoying superstitious influ¬ ence as his glance swept a calendar hanging on the wall. "Friday and the thirteenth," he fluttered defiantly. "As I don't be- Jieve in signs or omens . the mischief !" Stepping on a truant collar button. Beardslee joggled, his elbow came up ^against the mirrored front of his shav- fng cabinet anil in dismay he drew back from a shower- of glass. "J won't get rattled." he Insisted doughtily* -but he. left- the house half an hour later ii> J) wretched state of nervousness. His objective point was the office of a friend who might be in¬ clined to assist him. A black cat was crossing ihe road. "I'll beat the warning stuff," de¬ clared Beardslee. "Come on, kitty. Good for you squarely in front of me. Now then, Fate, do your worst!" Three squares further on the mock heroic mood of our mentally disturbed hero came to a climax. A derisive ex¬ pression crossed his face. He walked Squarely under a ladder set against a building front, a painter aloft. "Hi, there {" v , i Too late Beardslee caught the warn¬ ing. The painter aloft had dropped his brush. Full of paint it landed on Beardslee's shoulder, made a straight , downward dip and slid down one side of him clear to his feet, leaving a (smooth, even strip of white the en¬ tire length of his bo3y. Beardslee disdained tho fulsome apologies of the knight of the paint pot and turned into a little*' shop bearing the sign, "Cleaning, Repairing & Dyeing Done Here." "I'm in a hurry," he announced to an old man in charge. "How soon can you put* this .-suit in presentable 6hape?" . , "Half an hour," came the reply, after some mental calculation. "Go. to It!" and Beardslee practical¬ ly disrobed so far as his outer gar¬ ments were concerned .and wrapped himself in- a blanket apporti^>ed b'^. und snuggled down in He half dozed, with closed ejes, quic ly opened, however, as there was a flash and then the sound of an explo- S>n The interior of the place tflled with smoke and flames and its proprietor, whose operations had. gomehow ignited the cleaning mflt^. rial lie had been using, was mak4,ng for the street. Beardslee sprang ^up, rushed thither himself and in his half- dressed condition darted into the hall¬ way of an adjoining office building. The street became crowded as the fire alarm was sounded.' Beardslee gave up his clothes as lost. He turned fntosan office where a young man sat noring over some writing. He stared askance at the Indian-like habit of the lnt^'s the address here?" asked Beardslee of the clerk. "Elston building." ^ ... : "What room. -number?" "Thirteen." _ "It's the limit!" muttered Beards* lee, but he completed the meSsage. Then he sat down to wait. In the course of an hour the envoy from his landlady arrived. Beardslee resu. his way to his originally conceded destination, the office of the friend who might be inclined to help him out financially. "Left for New £ork on the Limited an hour ago," was the depressing in- formation he received. ' Beardslee shrugged his shoulders resignedly. The fates were certainly against him. He proceeded on his way determining what he would do; order his broker to close up his deals, stand the loss, call upon Laura, sug¬ gest a postponement of the wedding until he got on his feet again and leave speculation alone for the future. As he neared the office of his broker the latter 'ran up against him oathe street "Olr, I say ; just the man !" he spoke exuberantly. "I'm bound *for*he ex¬ change, but I'll go back with you and settle up." "Settle up?" .replied Beardsjee, rue- fullv "If there's a. deficit you'll have to give me a day -or two to make good." v . "Deficit? Why, man, we tffought It, best to close out the deal in the face- of an alluring profit, and there's thir« teen thousand, dollars to your credit I What you want to do? Shall we re-t invest it for you?" "Why, no, not right away,"- stummed the dazed Beardslee. "Then Central Consolidated went up?" "First thing the market opened i thirteen points in an hour." "Mirror, black cat, ladder," he solu-> oquized, "all vapor. But the money. never to be risked again, that's solid* real, tangible thirteen thousand dollars.. Dear little Laura !

HAMILTON . -V 3?pfj Former Advertising Manager of Wanamaker's, Philadelphia . | ______ ' f ' I » » Ninety-six per cent of ali the people in the United States earn less than $2,000 a year. Therefore it behooves every one of you to learn to read this paper day by day with two purposes. One, that you may post yourself upon the general news. The other, that you may post yourself upon ,the advertising news. The day is past when anyone can afford to overlook this sec¬ ond feature. It is. the road to economy in every home. There isn't a day passes when money cannot be saved or when better goods cannot be bought for the same money simply by following carefully the advertising news that is published here. . The reason for this is very simple : advertising is the cheap¬ est, quickest and best method of salesmanship that has yet been found. / Therefore the most progressive merchants advertise. - And naturally, when. you want the cheapest or the best article of any kind, it is fair to assume that the most progressive men will have it for sale. Every shrewd merchant advertises in this paper because there are thousands of you readers eager to see his advertising when it appears. He knows that you are looking for whatever goo<J merchan¬ dise news he has to offer. . And if any merchant so far discounts . |. your value to him as not to advertise in the paper you read, you can equally well afford to discount his value to you. If any merchant is so careless as to overlook the great com-' bined purchasing value of -thousands of you readers every day, the chances are he is overlooking many a good merchandise value when it comes his turn to go into the markets and buy. So learn, not only to read the advertising news in this paper every day, but leam also to rely upon it for everything you need. There isn't one family that cannot reduce its cost of living at any time simply by carefully reading and buying entirely through the advertising pag£s of this paper day by day. . j (Copyrighted.) . _ j Can still be had. in our Spring Stock jj of Dry Coed?, Notions, etc. 0 D CO)(Q Can handle same at top market Price either in trade or cash I.

Gas expense can be materially reduced by a proper adjustment of all working parts of your engine and car. A car improperly adjusted does not work to advantage-it "pulls" against the engine. And every minute of such a pull means the loss of- power and a waste of gas. : Loose piston rings, carbon in yonr engine, clogging of your oil tubes, hardening of grease in the cups, all of these are power de¬ stroyers and gas eaters. Start the spring motoring with a thoroughly overhauled car. It prevents undue w jar and tear, in creases the power, and will pay for itself in the saving of gas.

and inventions and still more inven¬tions desgned to lure the finny tribefrom the waters, but it took UncleEph Johnson? aged negro, native ofScott county Kentucky, to bring forththe invention that reduces to theminimum the labors of the fisherman.
Uncle Eph's invention allows thedisciple of Izaak Walton to cast hisline into the water and lie down topiscatorial dreams with the firm con
viction that when the fish bites hewill be awakened from h^ slumbersin time to land his catch.
'Tis simple, this invention of UncleEph's. It is not patented. On thecontrary, its imentor offers it to anyand all devotees of the rod and reel.
Stick an umbrella rib perpendicu¬larly in the mud fin the bank, fasten,a sleigh bell near the top and con¬
nect the line with this "invention"and you are ready to figh and sleep.
"It ain't .nothin' more'n a laborsaver," said Uncle. Eph. "You see,every time I get a bite the bendsthe umbrella rib and the bell rings.Den I wakes up an' hauls him in."
The aged negro, who years agocourted the finny tribe in ElkhornCreek, is spending the remainingyears of his life teaching his grand¬son to fish in the Potomac.

Over fifty years ago a youngphysician practiced widely in a
rural district and became famousfor his uniform success in thecuring of disease. This was Dr.Pierce, who afterwards estab¬lished himself in Buffalo, N, Y.,and placed one of his prescriptions,which he called "Golden, MedicalDiscovery," in the drug stores ofthe United States so that the pub¬lic could easily obtain this veryremarkable tonic, corrective and'blood - maker. Dr. Pierce"manu¬factured this "Discovery" fromroots* and barks. a correctiveremedy, the ingredients of whichnature had put in the fields andforests, for keeping us healthy.Few folks or families now livinghave not at sometime or other usedthis "Golden Medical Discovery"for the stomach, liver and heart.Over twenty -four million bottlesof this tonic and blood "remedyhave been sold in this country.

Alton Beardslee had arisen to an
uncomfortable and Inauspicious morn¬
ing. In the first place he had beenrouted out of bed at 7 o'clock andcalled to the telephone, where hisbroker informed him that ConsolidatedCentral had closed the day before on a
steep decline and that they would callfor margitfs by noon if the marketopened "groggy.""With my marriage with Laura
Pearson announced for only fifteendays from now, the prospect looks de¬cidedly blue," ruminated Beardsleedrearily. "Why did I ever get intothis juggling stock game?"His eye§ blinked and he tried to
baffle an annoying superstitious influ¬ence as his glance swept a calendarhanging on the wall.
"Friday and the thirteenth," he
fluttered defiantly. "As I don't be-Jieve in signs or omens.the mischief !"
Stepping on a truant collar button.Beardslee joggled, his elbow came up^against the mirrored front of his shav-fng cabinet anil in dismay he drewback from a shower- of glass.

the office of a friend who might be in¬clined to assist him.A black cat was crossing ihe road."I'll beat the warning stuff," de¬
clared Beardslee. "Come on, kitty.Good for you squarely in front of me.
Now then, Fate, do your worst!"Three squares further on the mock
heroic mood of our mentally disturbedhero came to a climax. A derisive ex¬
pression crossed his face. He walkedSquarely under a ladder set against a
building front, a painter aloft."Hi, there {" v
, iToo late Beardslee caught the warn¬
ing. The painter aloft had droppedhis brush. Full of paint it landed on
Beardslee's shoulder, made a straight ,
downward dip and slid down one sideof him clear to his feet, leaving a
(smooth, even strip of white the en¬
tire length of his bo3y. Beardsleedisdained tho fulsome apologies of theknight of the paint pot and turnedinto a little*' shop bearing the sign,"Cleaning, Repairing & Dyeing DoneHere.""I'm in a hurry," he announced to
an old man in charge. "How soon can
you put* this .-suit in presentable6hape?" .
,"Half an hour," came the reply,after some mental calculation.
"Go.to It!" and Beardslee practical¬ly disrobed so far as his outer gar¬ments were concerned .and wrappedhimself in- a blanket apporti^>ed b'^.und snuggled down inHe half dozed, with closed ejes, quicly opened, however, as there was a
flash and then the sound of an explo-S>n The interior of the placetflled with smoke and flames and its
proprietor, whose operations had.gomehow ignited the cleaning mflt^.rial lie had been using, was mak4,ngfor the street. Beardslee sprang^up,rushed thither himself and in his half-dressed condition darted into the hall¬way of an adjoining office building.The street became crowded as the
fire alarm was sounded.' Beardsleegave up his clothes as lost. He turnedfntosan office where a young man sat
noring over some writing. He staredaskance at the Indian-like habit of the
lnt^'s the address here?" askedBeardslee of the clerk.
"Elston building."^
... :"What room. -number?""Thirteen."

"It's the limit!" muttered Beards*lee, but he completed the meSsage.Then he sat down to wait. In thecourse of an hour the envoy from hislandlady arrived. Beardslee resu.
his way to his originally concededdestination, the office of the friendwho might be inclined to help him outfinancially.
"Left for New £ork on the Limitedan hour ago," was the depressing in-formation he received.'
Beardslee shrugged his shouldersresignedly. The fates were certainlyagainst him. He proceeded on hisway determining what he would do;order his broker to close up his deals,stand the loss, call upon Laura, sug¬gest a postponement of the weddinguntil he got on his feet again andleave speculation alone for the future.As he neared the office of his broker thelatter 'ran up against him oathe street

the dazed Beardslee. "Then CentralConsolidated went up?"

From Missourio
Last October I visited my child¬hood homo in Highland C. Va.,- andnow I know of no better way of keeping in touch witfi the people therethan through the Highland recorder.My visit after an absence of two
long years was most delightful, onlymarred by time denying ne a longerstay, being able not to see all whomI wished to see; neither -did I hearthe whipporwill sing.The mountains and the clear rip¬
pling streams seemed more beautifulthan ever before and I yet think Vir¬ginia the garden spot of the world,and will always have a yearning formy old home; but the "gulf" is fixedand I must abide.

Therefore it behooves every one of you to learn to read this
paper day by day with two purposes. One, that you may postyourself upon the general news. The other, that you may postyourself upon ,the advertising news.
The day is past when anyone can afford to overlook this sec¬
ond feature. It is. the road to economy in every home. Thereisn't a day passes when money cannot be saved or when better
goods cannot be bought for the same money simply by followingcarefully the advertising news that is published here.
. The reason for this is very simple : advertising is the cheap¬est, quickest and best method of salesmanship that has yet been
found. /
Therefore the most progressive merchants advertise.- And naturally, when. you want the cheapest or the best
article of any kind, it is fair to assume that the most progressivemen will have it for sale.
Every shrewd merchant advertises in this paper becausethere are thousands of you readers eager to see his advertisingwhen it appears.
He knows that you are looking for whatever goo<J merchan¬
dise news he has to offer. . And if any merchant so far discounts .
|. your value to him as not to advertise in the paper you read, youcan equally well afford to discount his value to you.
If any merchant is so careless as to overlook the great com-'bined purchasing value of -thousands of you readers every day,the chances are he is overlooking many a good merchandise valuewhen it comes his turn to go into the markets and buy.
So learn, not only to read the advertising news in this paperevery day, but leam also to rely upon it for everything you need.
There isn't one family that cannot reduce its cost of livingat any time simply by carefully reading and buying entirelythrough the advertising pag£s of this paper day by day. . j

WE ELIMINATE WASTETHE cost of gas is a big element in the maintenance of your car. Gas
expense can be materially reduced by a proper adjustment of all
working parts of your engine and car.
A car improperly adjusted does not work to advantage-it "pulls"against the engine. And every minute of such a pull means theloss of- power and a waste of gas. :
Loose piston rings, carbon in yonr engine, clogging of your oiltubes, hardening of grease in the cups, all of these are power de¬stroyers and gas eaters.
Start the spring motoring with a thoroughly overhauled car. Itprevents undue w jar and tear, in creases the power, and will payfor itself in the saving of gas.
We make a specialty of reducing the cost of operatingyour car.
