Mr.. Hefey is well known as the
man who first put DR.. Pepper, a
soda fountain drink, on the market.
He gave the catchy name for the
preparation, and hustled the sale,
with the result that it netted him
a fortune. He disposed of this
business and has been an operator
IN the Batson field since 1902.
About a dozen of the wells at
Batson, Mr.. Hefey is interested
in, some of them good producers.
He said yesterday that the field
was doing better now than at any
time since the days of the boom.

my baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face
and feet. Her feet seemed to irritatS.
her most, especially nights. They
would cause her to be broken in her
rest, and sometimes she would cry
until she was tired out. / had always
used Cuticura Soap myself. and had
heard Of SO many cures by the Cuti'
cura Remedies that l thought would
give them trial. The Improvement
was noticeable in a few hours. and
before had used one box of the Gu
ticura Ointment her feet were we'll
and have never troubled her since.
also used 1t to remove what is known
as cradle cap" from her head. and
1t worked like charm, as It
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Now I keep Cuticura
Ointment on hand in case OF any
little rash or insect bites. as 1t takes
out tho Inflammation at once. Per

SAVINGS OF THE SOLDIERS.
Paymaster's Department Has $2.s11..
1877 Of the Regulars Money.

Seattle. Wash.-The American sol.
dIer Is not highly paid. yet he is a
thrifty chap. Last year 54.260 enlist.
ed men saved and deposited with the
paymaster's department $l.i9o.22S.
This Is respectable sum and repre-
sents about 12 per cent. of the total
pay of all the enlisted men for that
period. Had every enlisted man made
u deposit the average saving for the
year would have been S27.50. but that
is the least interesting feature of the
system.
The figures show that the soldier
only sums of five dollars and over. A.
the pay Is small. the total deposits for
the year show that the saving habit
is continuous with many enlisted men.
These deposits bear interest at the
rate of four per cent. year, but they
can not be withdrawn until the soldier
receives his discharge. Last year
there was repaid to soldiers the sum
of $1.l6S.236 interest was also paid tc
the amount of $7O,112. The number
OF men discharged Is not given. but
the amount repaid shows that their
average saving must have been con
siderable.
Since the enacting OF the law OF
1872 the total deposits have amounted
to $27.1S9.553 and discharged soldiers
have received s1.5s2 1893 in interest on
deposits withdrawn. There remains
on deposit with the paymaster general
the sum OF $2.911.737.

where our laws are made. and unless
a check is administered the passage
of the parcels post bill will mark one
Of its greatest triumphs.
But let us look at few OF the
simple reasons why the farmer should
patronize the home Cealer. In the
first place their interests are Gen.
tered in each other. Every season of
plenty on the farm means a prosper
GUS year to the country merchant. So
in the prosperity OF the farmer does
the country merchant expect to gain.
The farmer finds. therefore, in the
country dealer. staunch and loyal
friend and a defender OF his rights.
They pay taxes together. live side by
side. their children play and go to
school together. When the crops are
poor or misfortune comes. to whom
does the farmer look? Not to the
mail order magnate, but to his neigh
Dor, the country merchant. How
often does the mail order concern
take any interest in the political ques-
tions or legal measures beneficial to
the farmer? Yet with their bright
hued catalogue Of pictured bargains"
they reach out an open hand for the
farmers hard earned dollar. And
does he get value received? Not
often. The first order he may. but
that is only bait. The business is
not founded on principles. 1t Is not
builded on honorable methods, its
mighty waln G.e erected on graft.
The goods are shop-worn or shoddy,
or perhaps many kinds of goods have
defects so cunningly concealed that
the naked eye can scarcely see diff
ference between these articles and
those OF a much higher grade. You
are expected to send cash with the
order or have 1t ready when the
goods arrive with the big G. o. D.
mark on the package. Your crop failia
ure. or shortage OF money doesn't In
terest the mail order house. your
credit with them is good only SO long
as your packet book is filled. Your
order is made out and you pay for
goods you never saw, put up and se-
lected by men you do not know. II
these goods do not prove to be worth
the money. II the shoes do not wear
we'll. or the suit is shoddy goods. will
the mail order firm make them goo2k
Not often. Yet the local dealer will
do this. He knows his honesty 10 his
best drawing card. 30 much for the
advantage OF dealing With honest men
and NOT with grsfters.
