PROFIT

The matter of feed is of
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food if they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia?
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. 1t is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

COMMONER FOR 1908.
William J. Bryan's Paper and the semi.weekIy
HERALD.

The Commoner, Mr.. Bryan's paper,
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session Of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues upon
witch the next presidential campaign
will be fought. The Commorer propos es
to carry on a campais IN OF education and
organization to the end that democratic
principles may triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment, which receives Mr.. Bryan's per-
sonal attention, The Commoner contains
Current Topic department, wherein a
non-partisan discussion of topics of
timely interest and other valuable infor-
nation will be found. The Home
Department is conducted by an expert
enced woman who is widely known as a
writer OF household topics and who is an
authority on the art of cooking in all
that the term implies. This department
alone is worth the subscription
price. The other departments OF the
paper are all interesting and ably con-
Quoted, among which is a summary Of
the worlds news told in narrative style,
and Maupin's Observation-Disclosures
Common or Not-contains original anec-
dotes d.wit, moral lessons in homely
phrase and verse, and appeals to old and
young alike.
The Commoner as whole is clean,
entertaing and instructive, and its rapid
increase in circulation-now amounting
to l40,0OO-is proof of the papers
strene th and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr.. Bryan whereby The. Commoner can
be supplied.at very law rate with the
Semi Weekly Aberdeen HERALD, both
papers for one year for 1925. This offer
applies to both new and renewal SUBJ
scriptions, and should be taken advan-
tage of without delay. All orders should
be sent to the Aberdeen HERALD Office

RAIL- WAY MERGER WINS.
The State of Minnesota Loses It's Case
Against the Northern Sc
curities Company.

st. Paul. Mimi, Aug. 3.-Mdge
Locbren Saturday in the United States
circuit court handed down his decision
in the case of the state of Minnesota
against the Northern Securities COM
pany, the Great Northern Railway COM
pany, the Northern Pacific Railway
company and James ]. Hill as presi-
dent of the Northern Securities COM
pany, and individually, in which he sus-
tanned the contentious of the defend
ants and dismissed the bill of complaint
of the state.
He finds that the Northern Securities
company has not violated the state laws
forbidding the consolidation of parallel
and competing lines of railway, through
its ownership of the stock of the Great
Northern and Northern Pacific rail-
ways. He refuses the injunctions asked
by the state of Minnesota, to restrain
the Securities company from voting the
stock of the two railroad companies or
either of them.
This decision affects the results of the
federal governments victory III the cir
cult court in no way whatever. The
federal suit involved the same defend
ants and the same general state of facts,
but was based on totally different con-
tention of law.
The federal suit, in which the Securi-
ties company was beaten, was prosecu-
ton for violation of the Sherman anti
trust law passed by the federal con-

TWO BALLOTS AID NO RESULT
No Choice as Yet Made for Sue
cessor to Pope go.
pubIic Interest in Rome Greatly
Aroused Over ProlOngatiOn
of the Contest.

Rome, Aug. 3.-The second ballot has
been taken in the election of success
sor to Leo XIII. AS smoke was seen
issuing from the Sistine chapel at $40
it is known that no choice was made.
According to a reliable source of in
formation it is stated that at the first
ballot Saturday morning Cardinal Ram
polla received 20 votes, Serafino Van
nutelli, II; Gotti, q; Oreglia, s.; Di
Pietro, 4; Capecelatro, 4; Agliardi, 8,
and Gibbons, 2, the remainder being
scattered. The result of the second
ballot is unknown.
Intense Interest shown.
The conclusion is drawn that the
strength of the leading candidate re-
mains unbroken and that no compro-
mise candidate has yet appeared. And
there is no indication of how long this
condition of affairs will continue. The
prolongation of the contest has
aroused tremendous public interest If,
indeed, it cannot be called excitement.
Every trace of that apathy which fol-
lowed the death of the late pope has
vanished and instead there now exists
burning interest in everything per-
tanning to the election of his successor.
Impressive Scene.
The scene at st. Peters tonight was
by far the most impressive that has
occurred in Rome since the late pope
became ill. After the fruitless morn
ing ballot a belief spread that new
pontiff would surely be elected in the
evening. All roads during the after
noon, therefore, led to the vatican. Car
riages and vehicles of every descrip-
ton ratified into the piazza Of ST: Pc
ter's The regular Sunday leisure was
forgotten in the anxiety to see the new
occupant of the holy see. BY six
o'clock it was estimated that $4,000
people occupied the vast amphitheater
From the steps of the basilica, which
were black with those standing or sit
ting, across to the opposite side of the
square, there stretched as far as the eye
could see an undulating sea of human
ity with every face riveted on the Sis
tine Chapel waiting for the smoke Of
the ballots.
Great Disappointment.
FINAL, when the smoke was seen
rolling from the chimney the populace,
with many calculations of disappoint-
ment, watched the last trace of the bal
lots disappear and then dispersed, al
though it was long time before the
square of the basilica resumed it's
normal quiet appearance. Sunday
nights failure to achieve an election
was great disappointment to Rome,
and it is doubtful whether such an inn
mense crowd will again assemble I'M
less the conclave should continue until
another. SUNDAY
