Grain Yield is lieayy.

About three-fourths of the grain
crop in the valley has been thresh
ed, but the threshing will not be
completed before the middle Of
October, according to j. f. Nav
OF Boise, who owns a large ranch
near Meridian, says the sBoise
statesman.
The threshing Of both oats and
wheat has been going on since late
in July, The yields Of both grains
in the valley have not been excep.
tionaily heavy, but are mp to the
standard of former years. Wheat
is going from 30 to 40 bushels per
acre, while oats yield from 60 to
80 bushels. This quality is good.
The acreage Of both crops com
pares favorably with that Of the
past years.
Owing to the low prices of both
grains, most of the ranchers are
holding the product, hoping that
the market will advance. Local
dealers are paying $l.l0 hundred
pounds for wheat. and $1 20 for
oats.
Ranchers seem to be satisfied
with the result of their seasons
work in the grain fields. They |
have been blessed with good crops
and while the prices are not as
high as in the past, they could
sell the grain now, and would
make nice profit. Most dissatis.
faction is felt over the alfalfa.
Alfalfa hay is selling So ton
short Of this time last year, 1t is
estimated that there is twice as
much alfalfa hay as timothy in
the valley. Timothy hay seems
TO be holding its own.

DO YOU ENJOY EATING
Or Does Everything You Eat
Distress You?

Experts declare that the reason
stomach disorders are so common in
this country is due to hasty and
careless habits Of eating. Stomach
troubles and rundown conditions also
usually go together.
John Lind, of Oneonta, N. Y, says:
II have been troubled with bad
stomach trouble for fifteen years, and
became SO weak that l could hardly
walk or do any work. My appetite
was very poor. and it seemed impos-
sible to get any relief. Since taking
two bottles of Vinol find that it has
already made a remarkable improve
ment in my health; my digestion is
much stronger, and have gained in
weight"
Vinol makes weak stomachs strong
because it strengthens and tones up
the weakened, tired and overtaxed
nerves of the digestive organs. vinol
Is easily assimilated by the weakest
stomachs, and is delicious to the taste.
Try a bottle of vinol with the
understanding that your money will
be returned II It doss pot help you.

A Boost for Telephone Girls
Howard County, Mo-, News:
If a man is really looking for a
wife instead of q SC cial butter
fly, an heiress or a chorus girl,
we heartily recommend for his
consideration a telephone girl.
For even temper, patience,
promptness and meekness. tel
ephone girls have the world
beaten. They are girls witfprac-
tical ideas and common sense;
they are girls who will help you
save your money and make you
an all.round housewife. We
have never seen one that was
not neat and clean, and they
would very probably be the
most orderly h0usekeepers you
could get. And one of the
greatest virtues is their ability
to control their tongues. They
are accustomed to being quar-
relied at ard bemeaned, yet
they are not moved to an out
burst thereby. We know they
are sometimes imposed upon,
and are seldom rated at their
true worth. If you are in need
of a good wife, get a telephone
girl.

J. B. Lyon Meets an Accident

j. B. Lyon was quite serious
ly hurt last Friday when he
was in a freight car loaded
with apples inspecting the
fruit when a switch engine
bumped some other cars against
the apple car SO hard as to
throw Mr.. Lyon head first
among the barrels. The blow
was so hard that Mr.. Lyons
nose was cut quite deeply at
the bridge, his upper lip was
cut almost through and his
front teeth all loosened by
coming in contact with the
barrels. He was cut and bruis-
ed about the body and should
ers and was so badly hurt that
friends were alarmed when
they saw him a few minutes
later with blood streaming
down his face. Doctors hasti-
" ministered to his needs and
found no bones broken, though
he was terribly disfigured from
the fall. The dentist says his
teeth will gradually tighten
back again, though the nerves
in them may be killed. Thus
Mr.. Lyon will in time emerge
in pretty fair condition from
what might have been a terri
bly, serious accident, and will
suffer no permanent disfgure-
