The Sheepman's Grievance
The w~oolgrowers of the west feel
that they have just cause for complaint
in the treatment which they have re
ceived from the commission houses at
the great live stock markets. Some
time ago the commission men arbi-
.trarily raised their commission on
selling sheep in carload lots to an ex-
orbitant rate and now, in spite Of the
efforts of the sheep-growers, insist on
maintaining what is generally recog-
niZed to be the worst case of "hold-up'
ever experienced in the sheep bust
ness.
SO rank has been the action of the
commission men that w~oolgrowers ev-
~erywhere have become aroused and
are now in a fighting humor. The Ma
~ltional Woolgrowers' association has
taken the matter up n Vice Presi
dent j. NJ. Wilson and Secretary G. S
Walker of that organization have gone
on n trip to Chicago, Kansas City. st
Joseph and South Omaha, where they
win Investigate conditions, with a view
of the establishment of independent
commission houses to sell sheep.
So long as the present extortion on
the part of the commission men con,
%tinues, the sheepmen of the west VIII
not rest satisfied until they have com
mission houses of their own. If the
allied ~wool-growers of the west take
it into their heads to back up an indie
pendent commission concern the sue
cess of that house will be guaranteed
from its inception There is really nc
good reason why the sheepmen should
permit themselves to be robbed by the
river market sharpers. The sheepmen
have the means at their command to
put a stop to that sort of thing and
the time has arrived when they should

SMALLER FARM AREAS.

Congressman Mondell has introduc,
ed a bill amending the reclamation act
so that it shall be within the power OF
the secretary of the interior to fix the
farm unit as low as ten acres, if desir
able. This will make the scope from
ten to one hundred and sixty acres.
Mr.. Mondell has been studying this
matter for some years and is fully con
WINGED that small farms bring greater
prosperity to the farmers and conse-
quently to the state in which he lives.
During the congressional trip to the
arid lands of America taken n year
ago MI. Mondell was greatly impress
sed with the prosperity of those sec
tons having small farm areas, and
the smaller the farm the greater the
prosperity appeared to be. In places
where the farm area was as much as
a Quarter-section, the farmers were
not particularly prosperous. They
seemed to have more land than they
could cultivate as it should be cul-
tivated and the result was that por.
lions of 1t did not give Il profitable
iNNa' 80 'aSbt PhaNNo "HNAS Nbt -
area was eighty, forty N even TWEEN
ty acres, there was more prosperity in
evidence. The people cultivated every
portion of their farms and got the very
best results. Every acre was compell-
ed to yield the greatest possible re
turns. Farming of an intensive ma.
ture was carried on and high-priced
products were tho rule
The observations of Mr.. Mondell
and his colleagues upon the notable
trip referred to led to the introduction
of the bill for smaller farm units.
In the same bill Mr.. Mondell has
also provided that in cases where the
secretary of the interior is compelled
to acquire lands in unprotected en-
tries for the purposes of the reclama-
ton service, entrymen may be permit
ted to make other entries instead.

~DENATURlzED ALCOHOL

The bill for the removal of the reve,
Il pom denaturized alcohol is being
fore the senate, having passed the
house of representatives. Doubtless
the Standard Oil interests will do ev.
erything in their power to defeat it,
but it seems probable it will pass, as
there is a strong demand for it from
all sections of the country. In discus
sing the merits of the measure, the
Washington correspondent of the Chi
cago Tribune says:
That the use of denaturized alco-
hol for industrial urpose at once
would attain large proportions is
shown best perhaps by the experience
OF Belgium. In 1897 the
Belgian government removed the
tax on denaturized alcohol. In that
year only 126,65S gallons were used
Six years later the amount consumed
was 924,421 gallons.
Germany produced and used IL
1904 denaturized alcohol to the extern
of l0O.00O,0e0 gallons, as compare,
with 1O,SO2,6S0 gallons in 1886.
THIS S amount. about two-third.
was for power II heating purposes
and cost 1915 cents a gallon. The re,
naming third vas used for lighting
and chemical purposes.
In the irrigated section of our west
pumping of water for irrigation pur-
poses has to be resorted to frequently.
The irrigators' important question is
how to obtain fuel cheaply, especially
II his place is located a long distance
from the railroad and still farther
from he source of supply of gas
oilne. Cheap and abundant crops of
potatoes are raised on most of these
farms, but because of an absence of
market they have gone to waste.
If converted into alcohol and util.
lied for pumping and power purposes,
the potatoes will greatly extend the
agricultural area in the semi-arid reg
ION In these sections of the country
y would be necessary to establish ag-
rlcultural potato distilleries, so as to
ave freight on the farm products and
alcohol.
In Germany there are 5000 sucb
agricultural distilleries. Four thou.
sanu oi these represent the chief ac-
tivity of the farms on which they are
located, and 1000 play a secondary
role. The total value of products de
rived from these agricultural potato
distiileries in Germany amounts to
about s~25,0O0,O00 per annum. They
are under government control. In
Europe the alcohol heating stove takes

REFUSED TO LEAVE
AkIn I AhnC I'M

A man who has been working on the
grade of the railroad at Lookout was
arrested yesterday for i~ntoxication.
He told the officers that If they
would let him off he would return to
work n give them no more trouble.
They did so. but instead of leaving the
fellow INDUCED in another spree, and
this morning he was fined $25 and
costs, a total of $3.50. He is now in
the city calaboose.

The Rev. Gould Of Meeteetse, unlike

sciatica cured After Twenty Years of
Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr.. j.
b. Massey, of 1922 Clinton st. Mime
apolis, Mimi, was tortured by sciatica.
The pain and suffering which he endur.
ed during this time is beyond compre-
henslon. Nothing gave him any perma-
nent relief until he used Chamberlain's
Pain Balm. One application of that
liniment relieved the pain and made
sleep and rest possible, and less than
one bottle has effected a permanent
cure. If troubled with sciata or rheu-
matism why not try a 25-cent bottle of
Pain Balm and see for yourself how
quickly it relieves the pain. For sale
