HOMEBU|LDERS' OPPORTUNITY
IN THE GREAT PLAINS AREA

Washington, ID. c., March 26.-West
OF the Missouri river lies a vast re-
gion extending to the foothills of the
Rocky mountains and from the Pan.
handle Of Texas northward into Can.
ada. II is known as the great plains.
For many years the vast region has
been utilized as a public common.
Countless cattle and sheep have Mad
free access to it and have overgrazed
it. Its administration is still one of
the most vexing problems before con-
grcss The pioneer of the great plains
was the cattleman. He farmed but
little, and from the nature of his bust
ness and the methods of operation, as
rule wanted no noighbors.
The real homebuilder who under.
took to subdue the plains to agricul
ture, encountered many difficulties. In
sections there was no timber and he
was forced TO build his house of sod
or adobe. He found the streams were
not dependable; they were dry in
summer when water was most need
ed. Nature, however, provided an in
eXhaustible supply Of underground
water which the farmer pumped ln.o
small reservoirs and then led to his
garden and orchard and supplied his
livestock. He harnossed the wind,
which blows almost constantly on the
prairles, and made It a cheap and
useful servant for his work.
Within the past fifteen years there
has been awakening TO the oppor-
tunity which lies in the plains area,
and settlements have moved west
ward with such remarkable rapidity
that the day of the broad, free range
with the old, careless. and often in
human methods of stock raising, is
about over. The day of smaller
flocks and herds, winter fed and fat.
tened on home grown forage, is at
hand. Dry farming has come into
vogue, and has greatly increased the
crop producing area of the great

There are many, however, who do not know
that an attack Of Group may be prevented by
proper treatment ms soon as the first symp.

attack of Group is hoarseness. The child
becomes quite hoar,e; this is followed by a
rough cough that has something Of n metal
lie sound and has been compared TO the
growing Of cock. Give Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy according to the printed
directions with each bottle as soon as the
child becomes hoarse, or even after the
croupy cough appears, and it will prevent
the attack. IL is ia fact, a certain cure for
Group and has never been known to fail, but
