HAVE YOU YOUR ROLL OF 1855

If you cannot run your hand into
your pocket and haul forth a roll of
$34.55 you are, financially, not an
average man. A United States treas
ury statement just issued gives that
amount as the per capita circulation,
basing figures upon the estimated

Deaths, and He's Going to Probe.
Dangers SO grave according to Dr.
Wiley, chief of the bureau of chem
istry, department of agriculture at
Washington, Turk in the ordinary
headache remedy that he has deter
mined to institute an investigation
under the pure food and drugs act.
Many cases in which death has fol-
lowed the taking of these remedies,
said DR.. Wiley, have been brought
to his attention of late. Headache
powders, said DR.. Wiley, usually con-
tain large quantities of drugs which
affect the heart more or less. The
powders, according to DR.. Wiley, con-
tain a larger proportion of these
drugs than any physician would
think of prescribing.

GUMPTIoN ON THE FARM.

Perhaps some of your crops have
disappointed YOU this year, but if
YOU s0wed a few seeds of kindness
as we advised last spring, that crop
did not disappoint you. Another
thing: If you didn't plant then its
not yet too late-this is
one of the greatest catch crops
known. Try it.
Scarcely any farmers in congress;
we don't like it.
There are few things in life more
despicable than the man who blames
It ON his wife.
Looking at the sun through whis-
key glass shows the picture of a poor

cumed, at her home in Deerfield,
Kansas that day. Mr.. Maier left
Thursday morning to attend the fun

Mrs. Theresa Dantzman, accom-

Don't forget to save out corn for

In the large producing sections cab
pages are stored in specially prepar-
ed frost-proof houses. But they are
often stored in cellars, barns or
caves. Some growers store in pits
and there is no better way TO keep
the heads fresh and crisp. The
main thing is to keep out frost and
provide for ventilation. Whatever
the plan of storing, don't wait for
freezing weather before harvesting.

Keeping cabbages: Select a dry

five to ten inches deep, thinly at

only enough to prevent freezing as

Gus Koch, Jr., was in from south

that they had very heavy rain out
in his vicinity the day before, also
about the heaviest hail storm he ever

says that what wheat he has in is
coming up in fine shape, but that he

HAVE UNIQUE MILL
HIGH IN MOUNTAINS

High up on the west side of the
Chemehuevis mountains in Arizona. be-
tween the Schoolma'am and Sunrise
mines, two German miners have built
a unique mill, and are using it with
excellent results. The mill was entire
ly built by hand, the men shipping in
the raw material and forging out the
iron work. For a fly wheel on the
cam shaft they have brought a large
wagon wheel into requisition- The mill
is operated by hand, one OF the men
turning the big wheel that operates
the STAMPS. A feeding device was de-
signed by one of the men that is sim
plicity itself and feeds the mill auto
matically.
While one Of the miners extracts
the ore from their mine the other is
pounding out the gold at the rate Of
an ounce a day. 1t is reported that
the men have splendid showing of
gold ore and are taking the present
method of extracting the values from
the ores to be later used in the pur-
chase of uptodate machinery. Those
who witnessed the operation of the
plant are much impressed with the in
genuity Of the men who designed 1t.
