GEN. KIRKPATRICK
URGES PEACH
SEED PLANTING
Hen. fci. VV. Kirkpalrick gave tho
writer two large yellow cling
peaches Wednesday which In- |>Im-K -
ou from it seedling tree nt the home
of It. V. Iiaughetoo. Air. I luughetoo
who lives In South ftfi'Klnney planted
the seed. The tree litis developed to
Ik an excellent fruit l(e,'iii!in one. The
peach Is ilii extraordinarily IsifK«- and
luscious one for a seedling, ho says
(l«n. Klrkpatrlck. Ii If jelJow and
some of them have pink cheeks.
They have a very line flavor. The va-
riety of the poach is all the more
valuable on account of tin- time of
its ripening, which Is htti in the fall
niter the great hulk of other peaches
have ripened and are all gene. Hon.
15 W. Kirkpalrick again advises the
people throughout our county to
plunt peach Heed in their yards. Har-
dens and fields from any superior
peach that thev might have the op-
portunity or using. Planting seed in-
volves very little trouble .nid no ex-
p< nse. Unusual varieties nia> de-
velop that will mean millions <>f dol-
lars In benefit to human kind. Oen.
Kirkpalrick hiss devoted his long life
to such work himself and has dis-
covered countless numbers of varie-
ties of extraordinarily good seedling
peaches whose kind have been prop-
agated and developed into the best
eomnicrci.il fruit that are to lie seen
en salt in the markets of the world,
Took Out llreailful Sore He
When tin- kidneys are weakened

children of Coryell county, Texas are

eininty to pick cotton until the drouth
condition in their county in relieved
IIII. Mr. Minefield owns n good
that concern is justly proud of this
record for his boys in whose welfare
and career lie continues to maintain
an abiding Interest. Mr. Hall Is in-
tensely patriotic, and while his force
of trained employes has been fre-
quently cut into and almost demoral-
ized, yet he is keeping up the effi-
ciency of his force wonderfully well
and is willing lo give I'licle Sam the
pick of his force any time our country
needs them and expresses Its desire
I tor them.
Ten men in one year nnd all of them
iklllcd Is a record thai Is hard to
equal and is rarely ever excelled In
tr/wns of McKinney's sise. We con-
(•eitn.in propaganda is cunningly
devised and turned loos,, on iiustl*-
pci tinii enemy nations in devious
wa>s and fashions. Ileing absolutely
unscrupulous and without moral re-
straints, the (lertuan government
stops .it no insidious trick or crime to
sprc.ul distrust, doubt, suspicion,
enmity, discord and Internal dissen-
sions lining enemy nations. Its In-
sidious designs comprehend the whole
riuu.1 ..I political, social and commer-
cial life I>t the people with whom tile
Kaiser is at will'. Tin Herman wurj
chi - t is ever open for such purposes
An example of such propaganda
mn> tie pointed tn in the circulation
ol made-iu-ticruiuii) story about as
follows. This one happens lo be dl-j
reeled against the retail shoe men In
America. The Kaiser and Ills mlll-
tnr> satellites figure out that this Is
an inviting field for exploitation on
account of the marked legitimate ad-
vances In the cost of shoes on ac-
count of world war conditions and
unprecedented demand for leather
and labor. The made-to-order story
Is being circulated In practically every
town and wlllage. It runs llko this:
"Mr. Itlank, the shoe store inrtn, Is
right up against It. In fact, he Is!
now In the tolls of the federal au-
thurtles. It happened this way. A
stranger went Into his store the other
day ostensibly to purchase a pair of
shoes. lie was first shown a four
dollar pair. Oh, no, says he, 1 want
a better pair. Whereupon Mr. Itlank
accommodatingly pulled down from
his shelf a box containing a pair of|l4
shoes. Thi' would-be purchaser de-
murred at the price and asked to see
the wholesale dealer's Invoice. Ol
Mr Itlank in surprise, declined,
whereupon the stranger threw back
his coat and displayed the insignia
of 'i government secret service man
in the sutfpiiscd profiteering merchant
Then of course Mr. Itlank yielded, ex-
hibit* il his Invoice which recealed that
lie had been guMtv of profiteering in
these stressful days of war time by
selling shoes that cost llltll $4.00
wholesale at $14.00 per pair retail. No
wonder Mr. Illank, the local shoe
ma ii. litis come to grief."

I 'rank Little Still Of Noali Hale Of
AI toga ItalM's Poland t'lilna.
Noah Hale and little son, Frank, of
Altoga were business visitors at Mc-
Klnney Thursday. Ijist March frank
bought a thoroughbred registered Hig
Hone Poland China gilt from tho
I'ecan drove Imiry of McKlnney. She
later brought him a litter of nine pigs.
He delivered one of them yesterday to
u McKlnney customer, which he sold
for $20.00 at two months old. This is
a pretty good record for Frank as a
starter In the hog business. Bbt ho
started right and was not long In get-
ting satisfactory results.
This canard started by wily pro
Hermans, is taken up and Innocently
repeated by unsuspecting loyal men
and women who are customers of Mr.
Itlank whose honesty and loyalty are
both thus traduced and who forth-
with sutlers in the esteem of his old,
true and tried erstwhile customers.
The result ensuing is very harmful to
Mr. lilunk's trade. His customers
silently u s. nt his alleged profiteer-
ing In going elsewhere often to ad-
jacent towns, to buy their shots. Mr.
Illank not only sutlers In a business

. 11 > 111111 tt 11 ion Mutual confidence is
shaki n among people who should
stand shoulder to shoulder In the
life-ami death struggle with the un-
speakable Hun. The Kaiser's armed
forces are to that extent given com-
fort ami cooperation by tho confusion
and discord oiigcndclVd among the
people of enemy nations. When the
people of enemy countrlea no longer
have confidence In each other, they
to that extent became dubious of
their government and political and
military leadership. War bond sales
are floated with greater difficulty
and Herman peace propaganda finds
more congenial still In which to
spreiul ami grow.
The local shoe merchant Is only
used as an example. What is true of
the shoe merchant, Is lute of the
grocer, the dry goods merehant, the
clothier, and the butcher.
The obvious duty of Americans Is
to look askance at him who repeals
such stories floating around on the
wings of rumor llittl are calculated to
work Injury to innocent anil patriotic
\nicricuns often ytpir nearest neigh-
bors and fi lends.

less men, women and children, the

HOW I

Told by Mr*. Lynch From
Own Experience.
Providence, R. I.—"1 was all run
down in health, watt nervous, had head-
ucheg, my back
ached all the time.
I was tired and had
no ambition for any-
tiling. I had taken
a number of medi-
cines which did me
no good. One day
I read about Lydia
E. I'lnkham's Vege-
table Compound and
what it had done for
women, so I tried
it. My nervousness
and backache and
headache# disappeared. I gained in
weight and feel fine, so I can honestly
recommend Lydia B. Pinkham'a Vege-
table Compound to any woman who ia
suffering as I was."— Mrs. AriKblNE B.
