Get Busy.

The National Corn Exposition
which was held in Chicago last
October will be held in Omaha
this year during December.
Last year this exposition was
limited to corn and over S25, 900
were distributed in prizes. The
great interest shown in this work
and the popular demand for such
an exposition has lead the mana
gers to include all of the small
grains in the exposition.
The association has set aside
$4,000 to be distributed to Colo
RADIO exhibitors. Let us get to-
gether and raise fund to be add
ed to this sum and make it worthy
of our great state.
With our grains and grasses we
come in open competition with
every state in the union. If we
can give the proper encourage
ment and all put their shoulder to
the wheel, there is no reason why
Colorado products should not lead
in this great agricultural exhibit
and win her share of the laurels.
1t is for everyone of us to push
this great work, for it is through
this means only that we can con-
vince the world of our wonderful
resources.
Every farmer should prepare a
portion of his land and crop with
the intention of making a record
breaking exhibit. We are conf
dent that we can lead all other
stations in agricultural products.
F. knorr of the agricultural
college, has been elected as vice
president of the National Corn
Exposition for Colorado. Any in
formation in regard to exhibits
will be cheerfully given.

FARMERS GIVEN NOTICE.
Told They Are Restrained From
Using a Separator Sold By
a Certain Nail Order
Establishment.

Ida Grove, Ia.-A great sensa-
ton was created here when be.
tween sixty and seventy farmers
in Ida county received notice from
the United States circuit court OF
appeals to the effect that the So
called Economy separator they
had purchased of Sears, Roebuck
d Co. had been declared an en-
fringement and they were re-
strained from using the separator.
The farmers who have received
notice have consulted lawyers as
to what they had better do and
the lawyers advised them to break
up and sell the old separators as
old iron and then come to town
and buy new ones. The mail or
der house has been restrained by
the court from manufacturing and
selling any more of the separators
and they were also forced to bring
their books into court and show
to whom they had sold their ma
chimes. The users are now being
notified that they must not use
them. 1t is claimed that the sep
arator enfringes on patents owned
by the Vermont Farm Machine
Co, manufacturers of the L. S.
separator and the Empire Cream
Separator Co.-Extract from the
Chicago Weekly Dairy Produce.

The Help Problem Of To-day.

Every successful housekeeper
of to-day recognizes the perplex-
ing state of affairs in regard to
domestic service. Domestic ser
vice in the United States has
passed through great changes in
the last fifty years. Until within
few years, whether assistance
was needed in the house beyond
that rendered by members of the
family. was secured by employing
neigh boris wife or daughter who
was made one of the family. But
there has been an almost entire
change based largely on the in
fuence from immigration and the
changes in the industrial system.
The American has been pushed
up from an unskilled laborer to a
skilled laborer, while the immi-
grant has taken her place, until at
the present time very few native
Americans can be secured for
housewife.
The manufacturing industries
have large influence in deter
mining the number of women who
engage in domestic service, as the
factories seem to prove more at
tractive than houswork. There
are many reasons for this.
There should be some standard
of work established SO that the
cook who prepares three elaborate
meals daily for family of six,
who often entertain. does not re-
ceive the same wages as the cook
next door who prepares three SIM
pie meals for three people who
live quietly Workers in the fac
tories and stores are governed by
the same number of hours. A
standard of wages cannot be es-
tablished without "a corresponding
standard of work. If housekeepers
would bring themselves to will
ingness to adopt the hour plan, it
would help the situation greatly.
If the girls who are working for
wages in the household were to be
paid for the extra time they put
in, when the housekeeper is en-
tertaining or housecleaning, it
would only be fair. In the stores
and factories they are paid for ex-
ira time. Another plan might be
to let them take an afternoon or
day off to make up for the extra
labor performed.
If the people in the home would
realize that their helpers only
want to be treated fairly and do
not want to be imposed npon,
they would have better service and
the good will of their helpers.

Instructor of Domestic Science,

The dlrectoire gowns have come to
America. A Chicago dressmaker of
the masculine gender claims that he
has made two of them for Chicago Ia

have not been seen is because the la

considerable confidence, however, that
they will be the rage after the smart
set comes back from Europe this fall.
In describing this gown the Chicago
dressmaker mentioned says: 1T is
simple. The gown Is slit on each side
from the knee down and underneath
the woman wears trousers. just like
a man. 1t is pretty and nothing could
be more modest. l see that the for

REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET.
N GREAT BENEFIT.

One of the great benefits Messrs.
Tallmadge and Buntin are bringing to
us is a Strengthening out and settle.
ment OF our titles and water rights.
During the past sixty days there has
been a scurrying about for old deeds,
patents, etc. They have been placed
on record and the owners are now
secure In the title to their property,
ut least. Again, water rights question
able in nature have been looked up
and Strengthened out. The sale OF
the Pioneer canal will result in a set
tlement of the suit now pending and
the permanent adjudication OF tho
rights now in existence. 1t will fix
the status of every man getting water
from the canal and make 1t possible
for those who buy land or settle under
the ditch to make terms of a salts.
factory nature with the ditch owners
If Messrs. Tallmadge and Buntin
had performed no other service for us,
their coming in this respect alone is
worth thousands upon thousands of
dollars to us. With our titles clouded
and our water rights up in the air"
there was a degree OF uncertainty
that retarded progress and made 1t un-
desirable for any man to try to do
anything. The case in court, which
has been hanging on for more than
-four years without any apparent show
for settlement, has affected every right
from the Wyoming state line on the
south to the mouth of the Big Lara,
mic river. Final adjudication and is,
suance of certificates of water rights
has been out OF the question and rat.
ents have been greatly delayed in con,
sequence. In this state the water gives
the real value to the lands. hence
this settlement, this Strengthening out
of titles to both lands and water. Is
OF the highest Importance to our PEG

If your ankle was lame you would aid 1t. II the

important to rest the weak stomach.
Not by dieting, for that means partial starva-

But let Kodol, for a little time, do what the
stomach can't do. Then see how quickly the

Undigested food grows hard, and i~rritates the
stomach lining. 1t causes nfammation-some

1t also ferments and forms gas. 1t decays and
breeds germs. And those germs load the blood
with their poisons. That leads to serious
troubles.
Don't think that the stomach can ever get
strong while those conditions continue.

they must be In liquid form.
