TAKE IT IN TIME

Just as Scores of Rensselaer People Have. Waiting doesn’t pay. If you neglect kidney backache, Urinary troubles often follow. Doan’s Kidney Pills are for kidney backache, and for other kidney ills. Rensselaer women endorse them. Mrs. M. J. Barnum, Van Rensselaer St., Rensselaer, says: “I was troubled by a steady ache in my back and my kidneys acted irregularly. I felt tired and run down. I used a box of Doan*s Kidney Pills and they gave me very good relief. I cheerfully recommend them a very reliable medicine.” Price 50c, at all dealers. Don’t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Barnum had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. . ‘

McCRAY SALE AVERAGE IS NEW WORLD MARK

Figures For 75 Head of Fancy Cattle Is Average of $1,286 —Total Sales Are SIOO,OOO. The eighth annual sale of Herefor-. cattle at Warren T. McCray’s Or chare Lake stock farm near Kentland Wednesday set some new world’s record. Cattle breeders were present from every quarter of the United States and from Canada, Mexico and South America. Seventy-five head of cattle were led into the sale ring and sold for an average of topping last year’s world’s record by $529 and setting a new world’s mark. The highest priced animal was sold to E. L. Dana, of Parkman, Wyo., for SIO,OOO. This was Superior Fairfax, a son of Perfection Fairfax, the sire which has made Orchard Lake famous. The total sale price for the 75 head was $96,450. Several other animals were sold, but not in the sale.' Their* prices made the figure for the day’s business well over SIOO,OOO. It is believed that 1,200 cattle men were present.-- A feature of the day aside from the sale was the dedication of the new sale pavilion designed and built to seat 2,500 persons. It is the best private pavilion in the country.

Only the Best is Worth While.

Lafayette Journal. The sale of Hereford cattle at the McCray farm near Kentland yesterday is a revelation as to what may be accomplished by the persistent, scientific breeder. Here is a man who is able to command an average price of more than $1,200 a head for stock that costs no more to raise than does the steer that sells for SBO. Jt is a wonderful lesson for the farmers of Indiana. Of course, they cannot all be McCrays in the cattle world, but they can greatly improve the value of their stock and add much to their incomes if they will-but-rea-lize that only the best is worth while. Fancy prices are being paid continually for high grade animals. Like efficient men in the business world, tnere never seems to be enough to supply the demand, with the result that they always command a handsome premium over the odrinary kind. It is worth while to specialize, no matter what you are engaged in. There is not only the sense of gratification at the material reward but there is the satisfaction of having d me your work well and this should be the thing to receive most consideration. And to think that Warren IcCray wanted to give up such a work to be governor of Indiana. He is doing a greater work now for the people of the United States than half the gov-e-rifors in it. It is a real man’s work to develop the possibilities and the resources of the country and in his field Mr. McCray is making a wonderful success, of it and is justly entitled to the generous reward which results from his effort.

“GETTING VILLA” TAKES RENSSELAER TO FIRING LINE

Gayety Opens Saturday Night, May 20th. “Getting Villa”, the three-reel Herald film depicting current conditions along the border of Mexico, is one continuous thrill of excitement. If you wish to get a good idea, of what Villa is likely to get when the United States troops end their chase, just take a look as these wonderful motion pictures at the Gayety. They bring right before your eyes the character of the men in command and the men under- them—men_of-nerve -and daring who have gone into the dusty deserts of Mexico to “Gte Villa dead or alive.” It will require only one visit to the Gayety to convince you that these men of the army are men of determination, and that it is their business to get Villa—dead or alive —and that they’ll do it. If you have a spark of patriotism you should not miss “Getting Villa.” Thousands already have seen the great him and have given it the stamp of their approval. These are the first pictures from the Mexican border since Villa’s raid and massacre at Columbus, N. M. C. H. Chester, Inc., sent motion picture operators to the border the day of the raid and, notwithstanding the rigid government censorship, many thousand feet of wonderful pictures have been shipped out of the turmoil of that territory. Walter Wiseman, the Rensselaer shoemaker’s son, will be seen in the picture. Admission —15 and 5 cents.
