No young woman, in the Joy OF

waiting months. Mothers Friend

English Girls Tragic Fate.

The startling case Of North Lon
don (Eng) girl who has contracted
leprosy contains elements Of tragic
interest. The dreadful disease was
contracted by the victim wearing, as
part of fancy dress costume. wig
of eastern origin. Some time ago she
went to a fancy dress ball. The cos
trrle, that Of Chinese lady-was
pronounced perfect in every detail.
Unfortunately the wig she wore was
only too real. 1t came from the east
About q week after a strange mark
appeared on her forehead and she
consulted specialist. who found that
she was suffering from leprosy. She
has now been removed to a leper col
ony. Difigent inquiries were made
to discover the antecedents Of the
wig, and 1t now has been found that
1t had at one time been worn by a
leper.

Heat as a Family Doctor.

A dry. steady warmth applied in the
right place is often the greatest help
in relieving pain and treating diseases.
Not until the electric blanket was sue
cessfully operated did the disadvan-
tages Of the hot water bottle, such as
it's weight. uneven heat and so on be-
come prominent. The electric blanket
has passed from the experimental
stage to that of a practical necessity.
Not only this, but 1t is made in many
different shapes SO as to be most con-
venient for special uses. as for a chest
and back pad. cap. collar. sweating
Jacket, etc. In its soft eiderdown COW
er the warming pad or blanket is the
ideal comforter and the foe of pain.
Control is arranged SO as to give a
low, medium or high temperature by
the turn of switch.

MATADOR HEADQUAR.
TIERS TO MOVE IN SPRING
BIG CONCERN WILL COME CLOSER TO
TIMBER LAKE WHEN THEY OCCU.
PY BENOIST RANCH.

The Matador Cattle Co. has
leased the Benoist ranch which
comprises some seventeen hundred
acres and is located down in the
breaks about eight or nine miles
southeast of this place, and in the
spring the headquarters of the out
fit will be moved from their pres
ent quarters down on the Moreau
river about thirty-fve miles south
east from here, to this new loca-
ton. The Matador people will
not wait until spring, however, to
use the lately leased ranch but will
make it their principal wintering
place. They expect to feed about
eight thousand head here during
the winter.
The company is one of the larg-
est cattle outfits in the world.
They have ranch lands in Canada,
Colorado and Texas and are now
going to start up in South Ameri-
ca. Their manager states that of
all these ranch lands, the one here
has always been considered the
largest and best. There is a pc
culiar fattening quality to the grass
on this range that puts the stock
in such excellent condition that
when they ship from here direct to
the Chicago market, their cattle
bring very close to top prices. A
good, strong two or three year old
steer will even stand the winters
here better than they will on their
ranch in Texas, although this is
not usually true of younger stuff or
cows.
The moving of the company's
headquarters up this way will
mean that Timber Lake will be-
come in the future the principal
trading point for this big outfit
which will be a very noticeable
addition to the business of our
merchants.

HOMESTEDER RAISES
GOOD CROP THIS YEAR
CHARLES HIRE HAS NO KICK TO MAKE
REGARDING COUNTRY....RAlSED
SOMETHING.

If there are those who doubt tn,
productiveness of Dewey county
soil under adverse conditions, the,
should take a trip down to Charley
Hires place southeast of town
and see what he has been able t.
do this dry year. 1t didn't rair
on Charley's land any more thar
it did on the rest of us and hi.
success is due entirely to his farm
ing methods. He broke his lane
to start with about eight inche.
deep and where he intended to
plant his garden, fully ten inches
He then adopted the dry farming
method Of cultivating the lands
frequently and especially after rains
|
so as to retain the moisture.
As result of this faithful and
intelligent labor, Mr.. Hire has
about thirty acres of fine corn
which is now practically all ripe
and the very best of which he is
now sorting out and will save as
seed. He will have considerable
seed to sell and will no doubt find
a ready market for all he can spare.
He has an acre of potatoes which
are simply immense and will 60
fully two hundred bushels. His
garden is something worth going
far to see. He has raised vege-
tables of all kinds and with uni
form success. He managed to
raise some pasture for his little
bunch of hogs and cut a small
field of oats and millet for hay.
The results of this single farm in
a year like the present, is a. con-
elusive answer to anyone who
doubts the productive quality of
this soil. There is no question
but what it will produce we'll when
right farming methods are en-
ployed even though we may not
have large quantities of rain. The
results this year has also demon
strated beyond any question that
the lands in this section for the
growing of vegetables could hardly
be better, and also bids fair to be
one of the best corn countries there
is lying this far north.

IT the duties Of lawmaking and
Interpreting the laws are pushed upon
the people of this country. one-man
