found that the real value Of your medicine was
greater even than my expectations, and the

Gas
Engines

How many people, when
buying gas engines stop to
consider complicatious9There
are few. IF they would only
investigate the different max
es before deciding on the pur-
chase. there would be fewer
repair shops over the land:
A spring here and 4 gear
there; and loaded down with
a lot of inventions, most
people say, "That must be a
good engine. Well, they
bay 1t. In a little while, to
keep 1t going, they com.
uence to tinker, and the
more time and money spent
the more she gets out OF
whack. Then they real.
lie that 1t takes an expert
to do anything with 1t. Now
If they had ouly bought q
simple engine. one that they
thought would not run be-
cause 1t did not have q lot OF
fctares, they could have
avoided the expense and de-
lay.
Our advice to you Is to not
overlook the "Stoner" when
you are thinking of buying
an engine, as we can prove to
you that 1t Is the simplest en-.
CINE built, and we feel salts
fed that 1t will give you but
very little trouble. Repair
shops all hate the "Stoner"
as 1t gives them but little

Potatoe. and Apples short.

With rot in the potato crop, scab on
the apples and Jack Frost on the heels
of the lazy corn crop, farmers have
their troubles this year. We fear that
the potato rot will be serious. The wet
soil and "muggy" weather give just
the right conditions for the rot 10
spread. If in the face Of these trou-
bles buyers try to get the apples for
less than they are worth by spreading
reports of big crop" there will be live
ly times. Our reports show that the
apple crop is short in sections where
large supplies are usually provided. Dc
not give away your apples or be
frightened into selling them at low
figure The demand is greater than
ever before. while the total supply is
less than last year.-Rura New Yorker.

kiplinx Wanted His Breakfast.


Rudyard Kipling once visited Cecil
Rhodes at Lekkerwijn. one Of his fruit
farms at Paarl, South Africa. One
morning Rhodes went round his farm
before breakfast, leaving his guest, who
was not SO energetic, behind. Time
went on, and Rhodes did not appear
Hunger soon reused Kipling to action,
and in a short while he was very busy
on his own account. AS Rhodes re-
turned he found his trees bearing a
new kind Of fruit in the shape Of
placards inscribed in huge black let
tiers with Famine" I'VE are starv-
mgr Feed u.s. etc. On reaching
the front door he was confronted with
the following, in still larger type: For
the human race-BrcakfaSt tones the
mind, invigorates the body. 1t has sus-
tanned thousands; it will sustain you
See that you get it." Then in the
house, on every available wall, he came
across other mysterious placards, IN
more and more pathetic appeal, why
die when little breakfast prolongs
life?" Larger and larger grew the
type, at is late; it is still later" lead
ing at last into the little breakfast
room, where he found Kipling reading
his paper in peaceful innocence, but
very hungry. 1t did not need much in
genuity to guess the author Of these

Mr.. Hedges was one of the four men
who stood out against this, and which
small number has since been called

of this honest band was the Hon.
William Lindsay, the Republican can

leader of the Republican party in the
house and proved himself to be an
able representative of Fergus county.
In his record as d public man
there is not one spot nor blemish
which any enemy or opponent can
point to, and say his acuon have not
been as they should be. He is straight.
forward and honest and beyond that
is capable and what o could be
asked of a public official. He is a
stockman himself and understands the
interests of a large majority of the
residents of the county and is there.
fore able to do more for them than
one who is not in sympathy with
them. Together with this is the fact
that in his other terms at the state
capital he has had valuable experience
which is more necessary in the legis-
lature than any other place. Voters
OF Fergus county will make no mis-
take in selecting Mr.. Hedges to the

John Sellers was born In England
April 10. 1862. He came 10 the Unit
ed States in 1872 and located IN Pater-
son, n. j., where he attended the pub
lie schools and took a course In d
business college there. lie remained
there until 1882. when he came TO
Montana and settled In Helena. He
worked there as a clerk in the store
OF Charles Lehman for four years and
then came To Fergus county in 1886
and clerked for the same firm in Cot
tonwood. After staying In Cotton
wood for some time he bought out the
+. l.. Wright store at Utica, in the
interests of Charles Lehman, and
took charge Of the business at that
place, where he remained until 1891,
when he took some land near Forest
Grove and vent into the ranching
business. He has remained there un-
I'll the present time and has been sue.
cessful in the ranching and sheep
raising business. He has never been
before the voters Of Fergus county
Tor "A public Office and only allowed
The convention to put his name on
the ticket after the solicitation of his
many friends in the county. He will
receive the solid support of his own
party and will also draw many from
the other side.
Mr.. Sellers Is an unassunling man
and has never pushed himself forward
and relies on the record he has made
as a citizen Of the county for his cleo.
ton 10 the Office. Under his manage
ment IL is safe to say that the bust
ness Of the Office will be attended to
in the best possible manner. He has
had experience in this country and
has been a resident Of this county for
many years and understands perfect
~ the conditions prevailing here. lie
Is steady and reliable and coupled to
all these qualifications is the fact Of

be desired and will be loath TO make
a change.
Mr.. Belden was born in Dawson,
Neb.. September 90. 1873, and lived
there until he came to Montana in
1898. He attended the public schools
OF Dawson and was graduated from
the high school and the normal school.
After leaving the normal college he
entered the law school Of the Univer-
sity Of Nebraska. and was graduated
from that institution in 1898. After
leaving school he taught for some
time in the Dawson schools, and then
came to Montana TO look for a place
IN which 10 locate for the practice Of
his profession. After visiting in Great
Falls and other own OF this state
he hnally picked Lewis,own as his
future home and opened an office here.
He vas associated with Rudolf Won
robel for some time and was elected
on the Republican ticket 10 the office
of county attorney in tue fall of 1900.
That he made an efficient officer 1t
is needless TO say. He has always
had the best interests OF the county at
heart and has spared no effort TO do
All in his power TO help It along. In
the exercise of his duties as attorney
he has been fearless and ~persevering
aud he has a clean record for his "
terms of service. In the convention
this year h. received the nomination
asain Tor county attorney and his
election again to that office is prac-
tically assured. As a lawyer he is
able and careful and works as hard
m the simplest case as he does on
The hard me. He has been highly
successful in convicting men charged
with crimes in this county and no one
ever goes TO Mr.. Belden for advice
' who does o get the very best the
county attorney Is capable Of giving.
