Petere J." Lux of Shelby county is this year's winner of the grand champion sweepstakes of the world for the finest ten ears of white corn, and the first prize of $500 in gold has been awarded him at the national corn show being held at

Columbus, Mo. Two other prizes went to Hoos-

iers. . - i

Lux has been trying to land the prize for ten

years. In the decade he undoubtedly has spent

much hard labor and worry to win the distinc

tion of being the premier corn grower of the world. But the time he put in preparing his soil, seed, and cultivating his crop has not been wasted. In fact, his whole farm must have

gained in productivity and he, in return, must

have added a nice sum each vear to his hank nc

count irom tne increased return ox nis acres.

Scientific farming pays. Lux evidently believed

in this theory.

Asking for Better Defenses

Success ought attend the movement launched here the other evening to crystallize sentiment in

this community for adequate national defenses. Lethargy has marked the attitude of the Ameri--xn people toward the need of a strong naval and .military force to defend the United States against attack and invasion from a hostile foe. We have dreamed of our isolation for decades, deceiving

ourselves by the thought that no European power would dare send an expeditionary force across

the Atlantic to attack our eastern seaboard and

ultimately; gain access to the interior. This delusion has been shattered by the mighty military developments of the last year in which almost all precedents of warfare were upset. The unexpect; ed has become a reality in the campaigns waged by the Teutons and the Entente powers.

The United States ever will begin a war of

afinrression.' ' Its traditions are against this

course. But this does not prevent a less honest nation from attacking us. Under modern conditions, the military preparedness of the. United States is a joke. Our army and navy are totally

inadequate and no dependence can be placed on the National Guard as a reserve army. The country needs a systematic plan of preparedness that will enable the government to defend the principles for which the country stands at any time and under any condition. This does not mean that militarism will result. It means that the United States will be able to demand respect for its own rights, have the power to back them up, and be prepared to repel a foe. Pacifists ought see no alarming sign in this kind of preparedness. If the United States were sure that no nation would ever dare attack it, there would be no need for preparedness, but this assurance is lacking. To use a commonplace illustration, would it not be folly for a citizen to throw away his walking stick when he knew that two rowdies standing at the next street corner would attack him as soon as he passed? Applying the illustration to the United States, it is foolhardiness to expect that other nations, some of whom have the military spirit highly developed, will not at some day attack oup country. Because we are unprepared to strike, Great Britain and Germany have ignored with impunity our protests that they cease endangering American lives. - For this reason Great Britain has seized American ships, interfered with our trade on the Atlantic and practically declared a blockade on American shipping.

EARLY CITY HISTORY

Contributions on the pioneer days of Richmond will appear in this column daily.

There were good country taverns all along the old National road conveniently located and well equipped to entertain "man and beast." as the phrase was. As James G. Blaine once wrote In a letter on the subject, "We did not use the high sounding 'hotel' but the good old Anglo-Saxon 'tavern.' with its wide open fire in the cheerful bar-room, and the bountiful spread In the dining room, and the long porch for summer loafers, and the immense Btabling with its wealth of horse flesh and the great open yard for the roa pvagons." Old fashioned taverns cf this description sprang up all along the line from Cumberland. Md., to Indianapolis and beyond. Some of the taverns bad queer names and were noted for good cooking or for particular dishes, and some of the tavern-keepen were well known to members of con gress and other regular patrons of the road. The first tavern out of Cum berland was Six-Mile house, and the followed Franklin house. Sand Sprins house, Thistle Tavern, Indian Queer White Goose, Monroe bouse, becaus' President Monroe had eaten dinnes there; Red tavern, so called becaus' it consisted of a big frame hous painted bright red. Some of the tas " ems were, kept by women who kne how to cater to the traveling pubis Some had big swinging signboan; j-ith appealing legends, as, Out of this rock runs water clear, Tis soon changed into good beer; Stop traveling, stop, if you see fit,

' And quench your thirst for a fipenny bit. Many travelers ' saw fit. A fipenny , (five penny) bit, was a small Spanish jcoin then current here, worth 6Vi cents, or sixteen to the dollar. Two i fipenny bits made a 'long bit," or 12 : cents, eight to a dollar. The national

road, after crossing Ohio, entered Indiana just eaBt of Richmond and among the early tavern keepers there or this side of there were Charles W. Starr, William Nixon, Joseph W. Gilbert; Richard Chrisman, Benjamin Paige, Joshua Eliason, John Estepp. An Indiana poet writing about the old taverns after,, they had passed away, said, It stands all alone like a goblin in gray, The old-fashioned inn of a pioneer day;

Its glories have vanished and only the ghost Of a signboard now creaks on its desolate post. Recalling a time when all hearts were akin

As they rested at night in that wel

coming inn.

RUSS READY FOR DRIVE.

BUDAPEST, via Berlin and Amster dam, Dec. 10. -Russia's plans for the Sanders of Altoona on Dec. 15, and he may be matched to fight some good boy here around the first of the year. Roumanian dispatches to the Budapest newspapers state that Russian authorities have closed the Danube of Reni and the frontier station of Ungheni, on the Pruth river. Great Slav

forces with heavy artillery are said to have been concentrated at both these

places in Bessarabia.

Most Eminent Medical Authorities Endorse It

A New Remedy for Kidney, Bladder and all Uric Acid Troubles.

Dr. Eberle and Dr. Braithwaite as well as Dr. . Simon all distinguished Authors agree that whatever may be the disease, the urine seldom fails in furnishing us with a clue to the principles upon which it is to be treated, and accurate knowledge concerning the nature of disease can thus be obtained. If backache, scalding urine or frequent urinron bother or distress you, or if uric acid in the blood has caused rheumatism, gout or sciatica, or you suspect Icidney or bladder trouble Just wrltu-Dr. Pierce at the Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y. ; send a sample of urine and describe symptoms. You will receive free medical advice after Dr. Pierce's chemist has examined the urine this will be carefully done without charge, and you will be under no

obligation. Dr. Pierce during many yearB of experimentation has discov

ered a new remedy which is 37 times more powerful than lithia in removing uric acid from the system. It you are suffering from backache or the pains of rheumatism, go to your best store and ask for a 60-cent package of "Anuric" put up by Dr. Pierce. If be does not keep It, you can obtain a large trial package by sending 10 cents to Dr, Pierce, or 50 cents in stamps for full treatment Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for weak women and Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery for the blood have been favorably known for the past forty years and more. They are standard reme dies today as well as Doctor Pierce'sPleasant Pellets for the liver and bow-j els. You can have a sample of any one of these remedies In Tablet form by, writing Doctor Pierce.
