BREAKS UP BAD COLDS.
Most Severe Cold or the Grippe Over
come i'm Several Hours.

1t is a positive fact that a dose OF
Pape's Cold Compound taken every
two hours until three consecutive doses
are taken will cure Grippe or break up
the most severe cold, either in the
head, chest, back, stomach or limbs.
You distinctly feel the cold breaking
and all the disagreeable grippe synp-
toms leaving after the very first dose.
It promptly ends the most miserable
headache, neuralgia pains, dizziness,
head and nose stuffed up, feverishness,
sneezing, sore throat, running of the
nose, mucous catarrhal discharges,
soreness, stiffness and rheumatic
twinges.
Pape's Cold Compound is the result
of three years research at a cost Of
more than fifty thousand dollars and
contains no quinine, which we have
conclusfve1y demonstrated is not effec-
tive in the treatment of colds or
grippe.
Take this harmless Compound as d.
rected, with the knowledge that there
is no other medicine, made anywhere
else in the world, which will cure your
cold or end Grippe misery as promptly
and without any other assistance or
bad after-effects as a 25-cent package
of Pape's Col. Compound, which any
druggist in the world can supply.

FORGED PEDIGREE FOR HORSE
r. F. Dygert Under Arrest for Dipping
Kansas Man.

Smith Center. Kan, March 15.-R. F.
Dygert, dealer in imported stations.
living in CrawfordviIle, Ind, is under
arrest and in Jail at this place under
the charge of forging a pedigree and
getting money under false pretenses.
About a month ago Dygert brought
Percheron stallion here and sold him
to Henr- Weber, of Reamsville, turn
Ing over at the same time what he
claimed was the animaIs pedigree. The
purchase price was $1,000.
1t was not long after Dygert's de-
parture that Mr.. Weber discovered he
had been duped. A little detective work
and he discovered that his purchase
was nothing more than a grade Per-
cheron that Dygert had bought for a
small price in Hutchinson, and after
keeping him on fancy feed for a month
and giving him numerous curryings
and docking his fail, had brought him
here and sold him for an imported
stallion. The pedigree, Of course, was
found to be a hoax.

such a debt and leave the land free of
encumbrance.
A few years ago Ernest Slentz of
Great Bend went to Lewis where he
farmed rented land. He finally bought
for himself then sold out and went to
the southern part of the state where
he now owns a section of land that is
well improved, has a lot of stock and
machinery and could cash in for
good deal more than $4,000. And he
isn't 80 yet, either.
Jim Ely, another Great Bend boy
went out west and farmed for a few
years and then commenced dealing in
land and is now one of the wealthy
men of western Kansas and he is
around the 80 mark. 1t is the age of
the young man.

Barton County Young Men Have

Veal h Not All Due to Wheat
and Other Crops.

Great Bend, Kan, March 15.-Not all
the wealth of the farmer in this Sec
tion of the United States is due to
wheat or other crops not yet in stock.
A big portion of it has been the ire
mendous Increase in the price of land.
Twelve years ago the quarter of land
in this vicinity which sold for $4,000
was an exceptional piece of land. Now
it is common thing for it to sell ct
five times that price and there isn't
much for sale then. 1t is wonderful
the way the demand has increased the
price of land and still more wonder
full how the land still pays good in
terest on that sort of valuation.
The man who doesn't study the mat
ter is inclined to think that it is folly
to pay over 800 an acre and expect
to get good returns on the money but
1t takes only few years to pay off

WHY WOMEN SHOULD VOTE.
Miss Laura Gregg of Garrett Gives
Good Reasons.


Kansas City. March 15.-"Women by
intelligently working out their sani-
tary and moral problems through the
ballot might save themselves and the
race much drudgery and sorrow which
they now endure declared Miss Laura
Gregg. lecturer of the National Suf-
frage association, in responding to
toast at a luncheon given her here yes
terday by the newly formed Equal
Suffrage club Of Kansas City"
Miss Gregg is one OF the best known
field workers of the national society in
this country. Her home is at Garnett,
Kan, and she recently returned east
after having spent a year in Arizona
campaigning in behalf of equal suf-
frage. She also lobbied before the
Kansas legislature.
Some women" continued Miss
Gregg, "say the ballot will be a bur-
den. 1t is a burden to get an educa-
ton; it is a burden to rear children;
it is a burden to do church work; 1t
is a burden to belong to a woman's
club. All things that are worth while
are burdens; but the new burdens are
generally the ones that lift the heavier
burdens.
Man is working out the material
problems; he is making the desert
bloom and is becoming master Of land
and water and sky.
Woman is working out the moral
problems, the race problems, through
her function Of maternity and her work
is, therefore, different from MANS

AS result OF the work OF the Board
of Commerce, Detroit Is to have a
new adding machine industry as soon
as arrangements are completed for
manufacturing plant. The new in
dustry Is the Wetmore Adding Ma

which II will make is the invention OF
Charles p Wetmore, the president OF
the company, who has been In the

lines for many years.
The Wetmore machine, II Is
claimed has advantages over many or
those now in use, the chief OF these
being an elimination OF all springs In
the construction and a simplifcation
OF structure which enables 1t to do
more work with greater accuracy. The
mechanism is operated altogether by
cams and gears, making the action
positive. II any part OF the machine
is not in it's proper place the machine
will not work. II is claimed that this
