HEARN Editor and Publisher. RETIREMENT OF GREAT EDITOR Henry Watterson, after edit nir the Louisville Courier-Journal fot fifty years, has retired. Mo acquired world-wide fame as an editor and he seems to have acouired something else. The great newspaocr sold for one million, live hundred thousand dollars, of whieh it :s n-. timed Mr. Watterson got a lib> ral share as ho was one of the founder - of the paper and a large stockholder. The paner was established immcduitely after the War between the States. Henry Watterson, editor of the h.iu:.s\ ille .tournal and Walter X. Haalen an, editor and owner of the l.oui \ilin Courier, merged their papers under the name of Courier-Journal. Bruce Haldeman, as manager of the Courier-Journal, in entitled to the highest praise, as it was his splendid and dynamic energy at.d ability that brought the paper to its high position in the newspaper world. Even Henry Wattorsoh's reputation as an editor, unless supplemented by the guiding hand of line newspaper sagacity, could not have attained such success. Mr. Haldeman was a remarkable newspaper genius and it is not surprising that with the aid of Henry Watterson's powerful pen a great and prosperous newspaper should have been established. Since the death of .Mr. Haldeman, that occurred several years ago, the ( ourier-.Journal and the Kvening Times have been managed by William IT, and Bruce Haldeman, the sons and worthy successors of Walter N*. Ilaldeman. The purchaser of the paper, Mr. Robert Worth Bingham, has a great opportunity and a heavy responsibility, that we have no doubt he appreciates and will measure up to fully. In a characteristic editorial Mr Watterson says "Good-Bye" to the Courier-Journal. lie makes this reference to his personal connection with the paper: "It may not be deemed overweening vanity if he takes some pride in the circumstances that he has served at the head of a leading daily newspaper longer by many years than any person connected with the American press in the larger cities of the United States." In this same editorial referring to the war, Mr. Watterson says: "The world war will leave none of us where we were. Its decorums and u clili|):iiiU.-> II?l\v- <lll< *<1V llliUM' Mil I I lintr chancres. Who could have fore cast an aliance between England, France, Italy and the I'nited Slates against Germany? When shall it end? It can only end with the overthrow of kaiserism. Nothing short of a holocaust for I'otsdain will suHice! Now, and ever to hell with the Hohonzollern and the Hapsburg!" A MODEL PRAYER The prayers at the opening of each day's session of Congress by the Chaplain, Rev. Forest .1. Pettyman, are usually brief and always fitting. We gi\e herewith a sample prayer as published recently in the Congressional Record : "AlmightyGod, we thank Thee for the high sense of moral obi'.ation that Thou hast given to us as a Nation. Thou hast written Thy 'aws in our hearts. Thou hast given to us our freedom. Thou 'hast put into our hearts a love for freedom better than life. Today, in the midst of the bitterest struggle of all the country's history, we come before Thee asking for Thy guidance and Thy blessing We pray Thee to lead on our hoys to victory. Bring them safely back to our native shores with the glory of having achieved not only honor for their country but the advancement of the cause of r irhteousness and peace among men. For Christ's sake Amen." NOT HOARDING COTTON Senator Smith, of South Carolina, recently had a conference with President Wilson as to the cotton situation. Our Senator denied that Southern farmers were hoarding cotton and sates to the president that there is in reality a shortage of about H,000,000 bales. It is said that President Wilson is in fnvor of the government purchasing a grea't quantity of cotton from this year's crop and storing it against future emergencies. The government will require a great deal of < cotton in the manufacture of war supplies and can absorb a large part i of tbe crop. ^ < L1 a w i llilf?JFl I ii " NO NEW NEWSPAPERS The war board at Washington has ruled that no new newspapers shall be v< started during the period of the war. d The big Sunday papers.are also re- ti quired to cut down the number of t< pages. This decision was made "be- is cause of the necessity of curtailing j the use of paper. The scarcity und 0 high price of paper combined with the entrance into the war of newspaper men have caused the suspension r of one thousand newspapers. Many of p the newspaper in order to meet the p new conditions have raised their sub- r scription prices from $1.00 to $1.50 ,, and $2.00. t b HIS MOTHER S SONG ? Beneath the hot midsummer sun The men had marched all day, . win iiuw Di'siiiu a rippiing stream f Upon the grass they lay. Tiring of games and idle jest | As swept the hours along. They cried to one who mused apart, 1 "Come, friend, give us a song. a "I fear 1 can not please," he said; t "The only songs 1 know a | Are those my mother used to sing 1 'Sing one of those," a rough voice r cried. "There's none but true men here; l'o every mother's son of us A mother's songs are dear." a I'hen sweetly rose the singer's voice J Amid unwonted calm: A follower of the Lamb? And shall 1 fear to own his cause?" The very stream was stilled, \nd hearts that never throbbed with fear, I With tender thoughts were filled. 'Cnded the song, the singer said, As to his feet he rose, v 'Thanks to you all, my friends; good- 1 night. ' God grant us sweet repose." 'Sing us one more," the captain beg- 1 god. The soldier bent his head. Then, glancing round, with smiling ' lips, ' "You'll join with me?" he said. 'We'll sing that old familiar air. Sweet as the bugle call, \ All hail the power of Jesus' name Let angels prostrate fall!'" \h' wondrous was the old tune's spell, ? As on the soldiers sang; Man after man fell into line. And l?>ud the void's rang. The souks arc done, the camp is still, 1 Naught hut the stream is heard; But, ah! the depth of every soul By those old hynis are stirred. And up from many a bearded lip, i In whispers soft and low, Rises the prayer that mother taught ^ Her boy long years ago. ?Selected. 1 w.p.s.

AMERICAN BREEDS OF POULTRY Because none of the imported reeds were wholly satisfactory, Aineicnn poultry keepers deliberately set bout originating a type that should leet the needs of the farmers of this ountry. They produced what have ome to be known as general-purpose owls?birds midway in size between he Asiatics and the Mediterraneans, eavy layers of brown eirc's in the /inter that also carry enough tiesh o make them valuable for market loultry. Several breeds attained a degree of opularity; but when the plymoath ock was shown at Worcester, Massahusetts, soon after the close of the 3ivil War, it met with astonishing avor. Within twenty years plynouth rocks outnumbered every oth;r breed. When the white variety ippeared, birds with the original narkings began to be called barred dymouth rocks. One by one other varieties have :ome into existence?the buff, silverlenciled, partridge and Columbian? jut only the white variety rivals the aarred rocks. In some parts of the country where white plymouth rocks nake a special appeal to market poultry men they are four. I on most farms. Among the growers of "soft roasting chickens" on the south shore >f Massachusetts they have largely supplanted the light braluna Although wyandoltes did not appear until several year-; later, they are known almost as widely as the Plymouth rocks. Silv? r wyandottes were the first varie y. There is no definite information as to their or! gin, although they seem to have coir.e either from New Yo 't or fr'?n. Pennsylvania, The breeders >f wyan lottes ha\e graduni'y prouj'ed a bewildering number <. f varieties?golden, white, hutf, black, partridge, silver-penciled and Columbian. White wyandottes, however, have outstripped all the others in popular favor. For a time they seemed likely to overlake the barred plymouth rocks. The whole situation was changed when the rhode island reds became generally known. Among farmers and faneiers alike this breed made tremendous headway throughout the Luuim v 11 in an interesting I act Lhat these birds were bred for ntany years in one little corner of the country, the southern part of Rhode Island, before they made any impression upon poultry keepers in general. The farmers of the Rhode Island poultry belt early sought a type that would be more profitable than any they had experience with, and gradually, and by the use of many established breeds, they produced a red hen of persistent egg-laying tendencies, but large enough to sell to advantave when marketed. It was considered as strictly e farmer's fowl, and of no interest t< fanciers. The color was variable, with hens of all shapes in one flock, and for that reason they did not make a very attractive appearance. It was inevitable, however, that some of the birds should get into the shows. liven then interest in thesri was conlned for several years to New England. Hhere was a steady int Ifrovemcnt In color, however, and breeders loudly sang the praises of the red hen, with special emphasis or its laying qalities. Poultry keeper} from other sections bought stock and eggs, and before long the supremacy of the lordly plymouth rock was seri ously threatened. That is the situa tion as t is today. 'I he "rocks," the "dottes" and tht "reds" are the three American breeds worth special consideration. Domini ques are older than the barred ply mouth rock, which they much resemble, but are inferior as general-pur pose birds. Black and mottled javas which resemble plymouth rocks ir shape, are little bred except by fan rcrs. Buckeyes are similar to rhodt island reds, but have pea combs. As the name in dicates, they came from Ohio, and erist in scattered flocks ir carious parts of the country. In several ways there is a marked degree of uniformity in the mem L ~ r * l ~ % ; -t * * ui-i? <m me /\mcncan ciasa. aii American breed* have yellow skins and yellow legs, to meet the demands ol the American market. They lay brown or tinted eggs, because they ivere originated, for the most part, in listriets where the people had a wellmarked prejudice in favor of the .vholesome-looking colored eggs, rhey lay the year round, and yield .'dough meat dressed to make them profitable tabie birds. Because of :he Asiatic stock from which they ,vere largely derived, they are sitters ind good mothers. Altogether, they ire admirably suited to the needs of \merican farmers and amateur poulry keepers who seek both eggs and neat. A/ji' ***?. ?

( ' I Regarding the great relief that Tanlac gave him from stomach trouble, which after five years developed into pellagra, F. S. Crumley, of No. 8, Buncombe St., Greenville, gave the 1 following statement: "I spent several weeks at a Government pellagra hospital at Spartanburg, but after I came home what I ate continued to hurt me. Gas formed on my stomach and I had pains in my abdomen. My appetite was not good and I could not rest at night. "I begun to take Tanlac and it soon corrected my stomach troubles. In a couple of days I could tell a big difference. My food was digested, gas stopped forming on my stomach and those pains left me.

Adv | "MADE IN GERMANY" i It is a maxim as old as warfare that enemies should always remember . that they will by and by be friends, and therefore commit no act that will make a future friendship difficult or insincere. The Germans have deliberately disregarded the maxim, I and they must take the consequences; for, however the war may end, the conduct of it by Germany has built up the most intimate national friend| .ships among all the people who are lighting ugainst Germany and has . arned for Germany itself the most ^ ntense abhorrence. , Do we hate Germans? No; hate , .s not the word. We do not hate the > wild beast thut lies in ambush to spring upon us and suck our blood. vVe do not hate the sneak thief or ' the midnight assassin. We look up ?jii mem wunoui anger, but us some1 ..hing that must be destroyed; and we do not make friends with then even when they profess to reform and give up their evil practices. We shall not be friends with the Germans. All such intimacies as exchange professorships, honorary decrees for their eminent scholars, naval visits between their country and ours?all the official courtesies and hospitality that in other days have been interchanged between Americans and German?are things of the past. Perhaps the Germans will reconcile themselves to the situation as contentedly as we. But Kultur does not disdain world-wide trade in articles produced by German industry. ' 1'he movement to ihu/urr mant in any conquest of foreign markets has made great progress and increases in momentum e/ery day. Through their national organizations ' England and French sailors have pledged themselves not to serve on any ship engaged in trade to tiermany or from it. They lirsi set a time that the boycott should last, and ' now they add u month for every new act of maritime brutality, such as sinking a hospital ship. Commercial bodies in all the countries of the Allies are making agreements not to sell for export to Germany, and not to buy German goods even after peace is restored. Governments are considering by what laws they can encourage trade to their allies and , block trade with Germany. Private citizens everywhere are deciding for themselves that hereafter they will neither buy nor use articles made in , Germany. All such measures can be carried into effect if the Alliou min ' . VO Tf III. IT lit* t li they should lose? Even the most overwhelming victory would not enable our conquerors to control either the sentiments of individuals or their choice of those with whom they will trade; therefore the ability to boycott all things German would Remain. Indeed, such a victory would intensify the feelings that led to the boycott. Catarrh Cannot Be Cured with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they cannot reach the seat of the disease.
