LIBRETTO PRIZE In order to facilitate the efforts of American composers to obtain a suitable librettr for the $10,000 prize competition offered by the National Federation of Musical Clnbs, The Musical Courier offers a prize of $200 for the best libert to on an American subject which shall cotform to the regulations of the above mentioned prize competition. These conditions are as follows: 1—The librettist must be a citi zen of the United States; ‘I II— The opera must be grand opera, one, two or three acts, but must be of such |length that the entire performance will rot ex ceed three and one-vuarter hou-is includding intermissions: III— The libretto must be in English, and the test be worthy of the sponsorship of the Nation al Federation of Musical Clubs. Since the completed opera, words and music, must be sub mitted to the National Federat ion of Musical Clubs before Aug ust 1, 1012, and the time for such a work is relatively short, the librettos to be submitted for the Musical Courier prize must be received by us before October 31 1013; and the prize will if possi ble be awarded before November 30, 1913. The libretto will re main the absolute property of the author. The Musical Courier arrogates to itself no rights of any kind 'whatsoever. In order that the requisite anonymity should be preserued, the name of the author of the winning libret to will be made public, but not the title of his work. If the author of the prize win ning libretto dtsires, The Music al Courier will make an effort to place him in communication with a composer who will set the work to music. N. B - It need scarcely be add ed that T h e Musical Courier Prize is in no v ay associated with the prize offered by the National Federation of Musical Clubs.

IN PRESCOTT The Evidence Is Supplied by Local Testimony If the reader wants stronger proof than the following statement and ex perience of a resident or Prescott, what can it be. E. J. Taliaferro, Prescott, Ark., says; “I suffered intensely from kid ney complaint. There was stiffness in ' my back, extending into my neck and a dull ache through my kidneys bother ed me night and day. I steadily grew' wmrse and finally J noticed that the kid ney secretions were becoming too fre quent in passage. Deciding to try Doan’s Kidney Pills, I got a supply at Hesterly’s Drug Store. I found them to be the remedy I needed. Two boxes cured me. I have used Doan’s Kidney Pills once since then with fine results. I recommend them just as higly today as I did a few years ago. For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo, Few York, sole agents for the United States. Remember the name —Doan’s—and take no other. The writer has long since learn ed that man may differ with him on politics, religion, social etiquette, local conditions or even a dog fight, and still be just as honest in his convictions as we were. Long ago we gave up the idea of reforming the world or trying to convince our friends that they were chumps because they dont see just as we do, but of course they are. Because a man differs with you is no sign that he is a rascal or not in sound mind. Give to others the same consideration that you ask from them and you'll find less thorns in lief's pathway. You know you are right, and the other fel low knows that he is right, so let it go at that. —Okolona Hornet. DEAFNESS CANNOT HE CURED by local applications, as they cannot reach the diseases portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an infl med con dition of the mucous lining of the Eus tachian Tube. When this tube is in flamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is en tirely closed, deafness is the rssult, and unless the inflamation can be tak en out and this tube restored to its nor mal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of deafness (caused by ca tarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars free. F. J. Cheney A Co., Toledo, O.

DON'T FAIL TO GOME, j UNITED OIL MILLS, Fertilizer Department j I Anvone can pass as a good far mer*when seasons are favorable, but it is during unfav rable con ditions that proof comes out «s to a man’s adility as a larmer. Recently Jthe Editor was on a farm where a large area was br ing planted in almost ideal con ditions. Later a visit to the same neighborhood developed the fact that this particular farmer | had a good stand and, not with standing extremely dry weather, : confidently expressed the idea that he needed no rain on his crops, altho all his neighbors were complaining of poor stands because of dry weather. Good preparation and cultivation are the best insurance against injuty from dry weather and likewise the best preventive against get-; ting in the grass in wet weather. —Progressive Farmer.
