colds, whooping cough and influenza.
1t has become famous for its cures of
these diseases over a large. part of the
civilized world. The most 1attering

accounts of it's good works; of the ag-
gravating and persistent coughs it has
cured; OF severe colds that have yielded
promptly to its soothing effects. and of
the dangerous attacks of Group it has
cured, often saving the life of the child.
The extensive use of it for whooping
cough has shown that it robs that dis
ease of all dangerous results. 1t is es-
pecially priced by mothers, because it

not the least danger in giving it, even

Nearly everyone in Lewistown has
a telephone. For the past three
months. in this space, We have en-.
deavored to point out the desirability
OF this service. Many OF those who
have observed these hints weekly.
have profted thereby. but there are
some who are denying themselves
this modern luxury, which is almost
a necessity. We know of nothing
more that can be said on our part
that win aid you, except this; ask
your friends and n~eighbors who have

Now that this paramount in,
dustry of the West is being
placed upon a permanent basis
and our ranchmen are producing
cattle on the ranges that will
not suffer by comparison with
those grown anywhere else on
God S green foot stool, when
the large pasture of leased land
is giving place to the smaller
Enclosure Of owned pasturage,
the resultc can but be continued
advancement all along the line
that will bring with it chain
of attendant benefits that will
accrue to all interests. The
ranChman is rid Of his biennial
annoyance and trouble over the
question of probable land legis-
lation. He does not live in con-
tinued apprehension that some
man to whom Texas owes a
home will be favora bly, impress
ed with some portion of his
pasture and will take possession
of it under his constitutional
claim of having a home coming.
He goes to bed with a clear con-
science, realizing that there are
none to worry or make him
afraid. Instead of spending
time and money to influence
needed legislation, he spends
his time and coin of the realm in
the further grading up and i'm
provement of his herd. He gets
some real, genuine satisfac ton
out of life and is worth some
thing to his town and his com

sight of the fact that $50 and
500 land in Missouri, Illinois,
Kentucky and other states is
being successfully and profita
bly, grazed by the same type of
cattle that can be readily pro-
duced here today by the thou
sands. The long headed COW
man has been quick to grasp
the situation in all its details
and where this is the case in
vestment in pasture lands has
been quick and sure. AS a re.
suit of this policy more ranch
property has changed hands in
West Texas during the last year
than was ever known before.
1t is a safe proposition that
no interest or industry can pros
per permanently unless it is first
anchored to the soil where it
purposes to make its habit at,
and it is even so with the great
range cattle industry of this
state. While there have been
periods of prosperity in its past
history, it has never been upon
a permanent or stable basis.
There have been too many ele-
ments Of chance and uncertain
ty for this great industry to ever
prosper as it deserved. The |

with failures and long periods

The STOCK FARMER IN
THE WEST. |

Under the general head Of
Range Conditions" the West
Texas Stockmen of last week
had an excellent article compar,
ing the past with the present
methods of raising stock in the
West. The News would like to
publish all the Stockman has to
say upon this subject, now en-
gaging so much attention in
west and northwest Texas, but
space at its command forbids,
so it includes that portion only
which deals with the present.
After dealing with the PROPOSE
ton that the West is not, from
the very nature of things, a
strictly farming country and
pointing out where many i'm
bued with that idea had in times
past met with disaster the
Stockman says"
From the iDauspicious begin.
ming has developed the modern
idea Of stockfarming-an avoca-
ton that promises to work out
the salvation of West Texas and
transform it into the most per
manently prosperous portion of
the state, and has give express
sion to the truism that it is the
stock farmer who holds the des-
tiny of West Texas in the hol-
low of his hand.
The success that has persist
emily attended the stock farmer
has encouraged others to cast
their lot in the West, and the /
increasing numbers have ham
mered at the lease law until the |
absolute lease district has been
incontinently bundled to the
other side of the Pecos river,
and the range cattleman is
brought face to face with the
new problem of land ownership.
There are cattlemen upon the
Texas ranges today who enter
tain the conviction that there is
no money to be made in the
cattle business where ownership
