 Gentlemen: About 10 years ago l began to be troubled with a cough. This gradually became worse. l was losing my appetite and had become thin and weak, so l con- suited a physician, who pronounced my disease Tuberculosis or Con- sumption.

My nephew would not allow me to go until I tried a remedy he had heard of -Eckman's Alterative. I allowed him to get it for me. as it might be a temporary relief. This was about nine years ago when I commenced taking the Alterative. Before I had taken the medicine three weeks I had marked. relief, and I commenced getting well until my health became normal.

Drauuinu the Roads.

Since we published the drag road
law in full last week We have been
told by a number of farmers that the
law so far has not been observed by
their township officers. We take it
that this is an oversight on the part
of the officials. A number have spok-
en- of the vast amount of good work
that can be accomplished under this
law at a reasonable expense. All
should take it upon themselves to see
their township officers and urge them
to avail themselves of this new stat
ute to better the roads and see that
it is done. A road that is regularly
and properly dragged is so much bet
ter than one that is not, that any
person will at once notice the differ
ence. Let us have the best roads
we can, and all the good roads we
can.

Great Bend Foundry Burns.

An alarm Of fire about six o'clock
Tuesday morning took the fire de-
partment to the foundry, located Just
south of the Walnut Greek Mill office
which was on fire and pretty badly
burned up when the department ar
rived. Just how the building took
fire has not been ascertamed. It
was an old structure, but contained
a lot Of valuable tools and several
threShing rigs. There was a time,
years ago, when this institution did
a great deal Of business, but not so
in recent years, except during the
thresher repair season. The building
was owned by G. H. Hulme. Some Of
the rigs in the building were owned
by other people who had them stored
there or brought them in for repairs,
while one new rig belonged to Oscar
Johnson. Also a number Of tools be-
longed to him, he being the last per-
son to have the running of the in
stitution. Some of his loss is covered
by insurance, but not near all of 1t,
and he therefore, is heavy loser.

SALES DAY A SUCCESS.
Cold, WINDY Weather Was Dealt Out
But Many Attended.

Though the weather man handed us
an awful bunch Of windy weather,
that stirred up dust to beat the band,
last Tuesday, Barton County's First
Monthly Sales Day was nevertheless
success A large crowd were pres
ent and transactions were made quick
ly. A fair amount OF household goods
vehicles and machinery were the first
under the hammer, and brought rea-
sonably good prices. In the live
stock department, horses were the
principal animals to attract attention
and a large crowd were on hand to
bid. With few exceptions the horses
brought good prices, the bidding was
spirited and the auctioneers kept all
In a jolly mood.
Owing to the bad weather there
were not as many ladies' came to
town as we've expected, still quite a
number brayed the elements and took
advantage Of the many tempting bar
gains Offered by the merchants.
The auctioneers were Messrs. Den
mis-, of Hutchinson, Sprinkler, of Elm
wood, Mausof, of Albert, and Bales,
of this city. This was a combination
of auctioneers that cannot be beaten,
and their work was grand, all de-
serve credit, and we predict that as
long as they do the work Sales Day
viii not lack for lively and careful
criers.
All the farmers who attended, and
many came from quite a distance,
were well pleased with the first Sales
Day, and all will attend each. sue
ceeding one.
The date Of Sales Day has been
changed for the future, and will be
held on the second Wednesday Of
each month, instead of second Tues
day. The next Sales Day will be on
Wednesday, March 9th.
Now that Sales Days. are proven
a success, and will be a monthly
event, greater efforts will be made 10
entertain the visitors and many more
farmers will look upon it as their
day.
A Democrat representative visited a
number of the merchants and got
their expressions on the Sales Day
proposition. While on account Of bad
weather, some were disappointed In
not having a larger crowd, the major
ity were very well pleased with re-
suits. and are enthusiastic Sales Day
boosters. 60
We would advise those having stock
or other articles for sale to list the
same as early as possible, so that
arrangements may be made before
the sale opens and everything will
be in readiness. BY knowing how
much stock will be offered for sale
the managers in charge can greatly
expedite matters, and the auctions
will be more satisfactory to ALL
Everything for sale should be listed
and put on exhibition in the fore
noon, so that prospective buyers may
examine what they wish TO purchase,
and bid more intelligently.
Arrangements will be made for bet
ter facilities to show stock on March.

The idea is to hold a convention of
all trustees and other road officials
also representatives of clubs and bus
iness organizations, and then to have
the state engineer Mr.. Gearhart
come and make a talk on the good
roads question. There may not be
so very much new that he can tell
some of the folks, but yet an in
terchange Of views between those
in attendance and Mr.. Gearhart may
result in some good. It certainly will.
We understand that the committee
having charge of the work Of build
ing the good road from here west
along the Pacific are arranging for
a series of meetings to be held. The
first one to be held in this city about
March 14th. This to be followed by

road. Full and definite announcement
of the meeting will be made later,
and it is hoped that all interested,
and that should mean everyone, will
watch for this date and take day

3. w. Snow Talks of Wheat-Says
Roots are All Right.

B. w. Snow, the most widely quoted
wheat authority in America, was in
Hutchinson a couple of days ago.
While there he investigated the con-

that while wheat has been damaged
for present appearance he believes
the 1910 crop has a chance to make
good. Mr.. Snow is an expert, and has
been making a tour Of the wheat belt
to give his best judgement on condi-
tionS.
After looking over the fields and
conditions around Hutchinson, Mr.
Snow wired out the following opinion
which is being quoted in all the Am
erican wheat markets this week.
''It is too early to tell much about
Kansas wheat. Tops are dead, but
the root and crown appear to be in
good shape. The fall growth was
small, but the stand is good"
