pocket to see whether it was not time
to meet Mrs. Harris at a store indicated
by her as a rendezvous at certain
hour. There was no watch in the ac-
customed place.
Mr. Harris promptly arrived at the
conclusion that he had been touched
by some one in the shop and went on
his way. He met Mrs. Harris as agreed
and all the time they We're together he

BIG ROCKY MOUNTAIN GORGE
Grand Canyon of the Arkansas River
One of the Most Spectacular
in the West.

Denver, Colo.-The Grand Canyon
Of the Arkansas is one of the most
spectacular gorges in the Rocky
mountains. 1t is ten miles long and
the railroad-the Denver and Rio
Grande-by a marvel of engineering
skill has made it a th~oroughfare to

The narrowest part Of the canyon
is known as the Royal Gorge. The

ling with mica, tower aloft on either
hand 1927 feet; the sky Is a thread,
almost obliterated by the jagged ram
parts, and the stars may be seen at
midday.

width is but ten yards, and the a

to the left, dragging the train; the
vista ahead, momentarily blocked,
opens again; a way is always found.

Sandusky, O.-Not satisfied with
the good work he is doing in saving
souls, Rev. G.. H. SchOepie, of Birm-

mers Of this neighborhood that his
duties are not so arduous but that
they give him time to work a few
wonders in agriculture.
Considerable rivalry has been ex-
cited among the farmers of this
~neighborhood in ability to grow
prodigies in the various agricultural
products. 1t was started early this
fall when Frank Kuhl produced some
enormous ears of corn. Others sprang
UP from time to time to claim recog

his time. The secret of his plans

PITIFUL SIGHT WITH ECZEMA

"A few days after birth we noticed
an in1amed spot on our baby's hip
which soon began spreading until
baby was completely covered even In
his eyes, ears and scalp. For eight
weeks he was bandaged from head to
foot. He could not have a stitch OF
clothing on. Our regular physician
pronounced it chronic eczema. He Is
a very able physician and ranks with
the best in this locality, nevertheless,
the disease began spreading until
baby was completely covered. He
was losing flesh SO rapidly that we be-
came alarmed and decided to try Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment.
Not until I commenced using Cutt-
cura Soap and Ointment could we tell
what he looked like, as we dared not
wash him, and 1 had been putting one
application after another on him. On
removing the scale from his head the
hair came off, and left him entirely
bald, but since we have been using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment he has
as much hair as ever. Four weeks
after we began to use the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment he was entirely
cured. | don't believe anyone could
have eczema worse than our baby.
Before we used the Cuticura REM
edies We could hardly look at him, he
was such a pitiful sight. He would
fuss until l would treat him, they
semed to relieve him so much. Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment stand by
themselves and the result they quick
ly and surely bring is their own rec
ommendation." (Signed) Mrs. T. B.

the milk is concerned. Increasing the
feed of a dairy COW has a tendency to
increase the pounds Of milk she will
give but the milk is of the richness
characteristic to that COW Expert
ments have shown hat the natural
richness of a cows milk is inherited,
or is an individual popularity the
same as the color of her hair and
feeding does not change it. These
statements apply to COWS under nor

milk given by a herd Of cows may
vary from 3.5 to 40 per cent fat. This,
Of course. will change according to
the period of lactation Of the cows,

which their natural capacity as dairy
animals will permit them to give.

SELECTING THE DAIRY BULL
MANY Farmers Make Mistake in Try
ing to Buy Cheap Scrub Rather
Thar Good Strong Animal.

A great many farmers who buy a
Registered dairy bull make the seri-
Gus mistake Of trying to buy a cheap
|~pure-breed scrub rather than a strong
Foundation animal on which to build
The future herd. The only thing they
look for is the fact that the bull Is
Registered and is offered at a low
price. But if ever a man needs a
hrst-class animal it is when he is
starting. Most men start out with
the idea that they can buy such an
animal for $50 to 500. But If one
was offered them for 5000 that had
come Through a long, careful line Of
wise breeding they would refuse to
fconsider it. Right here is where they
make their mistake. When men start
to look for a bull price is the last
thing to think of. So many farmers
look at this important subject wrong
end foremost. Let them really inves-
tgate the breeding policies Of differ
ent men and they will see what a seri-
Gus difference there is in the money
value Of n animal over another.
Don't let a few dollars come between
Oyou and prosperity.
