A Really TasteIess Castor Oil at Last

A Really TaSteIeSS Castor Oil at Last
Good bye, drugs and pills!
The perfect laxative has arrived
KellOgg's Tasteless Castor Oil
made tasteless by a method which
chemists have tried to find for 5000
years.
This is not favored, or disguised
castor oil. 1t is just pure castor oil
without taste or odor.
Kellogg's Tasteiess Castor Oil is a
better castor oil than the old evil
tasting, evil smelling kind. While
none of the taste remains, mona of
the good has been taken out. Kel-
logg's Tasteless operates quickly and
freely, without gripping, causes no
gas, and does not turn the stomach.
Children take it easily and retain
it.
The drug stores have all been sup
piled. You have only to ask for Kel-
logg's Tasteless Castor Oil, Csc or
soc size. 1t is not sold in bulk
The trade mark is a green castor leaf
on the label, bearing the Kellogg
signature.
Made only by Spencer Kellogg &
Sons, inc, of Buffalo, dealers in veg
etable oils for four generations.

was having a hard time to persuade
them to line up against such giants
They came however and Referee

May Hunt Buffalo

Livingston, Mont, Nov. 20.-"Hunt-
ing Buffalo in Montana" is the adver-
tisement which Joseph Duret is send
ing to eastern people Of wealth who
like to come west on big game expedi-
lions. Duret advertises that if he
does not get them a buffalo it will
cost them nothing for his services.
In Yellowstone National Park there
are Is buffalo which the government
wishes to sell. The price is $500 per
head and Duret has a permit to buy
and kill as many of the Is as he
wishes. So the eastern hunter who
pays the $500 and Duret takes him to
short distance from his ranch, seeks
M of the buffalo roaming in the park
and then, while the sportsman is get
ting his gun aimed, Duret shoots the
big fellow. The can have

tives and friends. What happens
constantly we grow to regard al more
or less inevitable. Scarcely a dav
passes without motor vehicles killing
one or more persons in each Of Our
large cities. The small space devot-
ed to these accidents in daily papers
merely reflects the apathy which pre-
walls among their reaGers. When the
first few airmen lost their lives,
whether here or abroad, columns
we're devoted to each event, with full
description of the struggle in the air
and minutest details of what followed.
Your evening paper tonight may de-
vote perhaps four or five lines to re-
cord the death of one or two aviation
corps officers. The local press will
devote space to the accident, but only
because it was strictly nome news.
This complacent or at least indif-
ferent view of what passes as newt
able goes on for a time, until condi.
lions become SO bad that somebody
wakes up and calls on everybody to
stop and view the awful wreck. Thep
there is a chance to improve or rem.

Surveying Montana Land

Helena, Nov. al. Scott Harrison
assistant supervisor Of surveys, who
has ]t:ect charge in Montana of the
surveying of public lands. has COM
piled figures showing that apprcxi.
"etel' 100000 u 6 Of land were
surveyed in the state this year.
Most Of the surveying was in west
ern Montana, and much of it was done
at the requset of the Northern Pacific,
which desires to fill its land grant and
deposited the money to cover the cost
of the surveys. Plans are now being
formulated for next season that pro-
vide for much work in Dawson, Custer,
Fergus, Beaverhead, G~allatin, Meagh-
er, Flathead. Missoula and Blaine
counties, and will be undertaken prin.
cipally on requests of settlers who
wish to acquire title.
At the present rate of progress,
providing the appropriations and field
forces r not reduced, it will be Is
years before Montana is surveyed. 1t
is estimated there are now 20, OO0, 900
acres of unsurveyed land in Montana
but within three years, it is expected,
the eastern half of the state will be
all plated.

Invention and Agriculture.

It is to improve farm tools that
manufacture may thank agriculture
for the present large number of work
ers which she has borrowed from her
older sister. In the beginning mans
pillow was only a forked stick; he
sowed by hand, narrowed by dragging
a piece of brush over his field, weed
ed, when he welded at all, with a
shell, or perhaps with no tools at all,
using only his bare hands. At the be-
ginning of historic times, the Egyp-
tians were using a bent piece of heavy
timber drawn by oxen. Later the
point of this plowshare was shod with
iron. The Romans further improved
the pillow by joing two pieces of TIM
Der at the ends to form an acute an
gle, and they covered the angle with
the iron. This was the first real pillow
and it was the only plow known to
Europe for almost 1000 years.
Finally, the Dutch made another
advance, when they curved the mold
board, the part of the pillow which
turns over the furrow, SO as to make
the furrow wider. The Dutch also
made the beam by which the plow is
drawn and added the two handles by
which the plowman guides his imple-
ment. Modern farming began at that
time, about 1745.

declared former Senator w. A. Clark
in Billings, "but whether it will mean
the death of that industry I would
not go so far as to say. Maybe it
will. We do not know, and nobody
else knows. We know only it will
hurt us, but we are not going to
worry-at least l am not-until some
thing really happens. Well keep on
producing as long as we can"
Senator Clark is the owner of q

season had 5000 acres Of beets to
supply it. During his visit in Bill
ings he was the guest of business men

WEDNESDAY, NOV. rs, 1918.
FOREIGN MEAT SUPPLIES

The stock raising and meat indus.
tries of South America are well de-
veloped and have large possibilities
for future extension, according to DR..
A. D. Melvin, chief of the Bureau of
Animal Industry, who has returned
from a tour of investigation made by
direction of the secretary of agricul-
ture.
While statistics show that Argen-
tina is already slaughtering up to the
limit of its present stock of cattle,
DR.. Melvin was impressed with the
great resources of that country for
cattle raising and believes that it will
be possible for the stock raisers to
bring about a large increase in the
meat output if present prices are
maintained.
The cattle slaughtered for export in
Argentina, DR.. Malvin says, are fed
no grain whatever, but are raised and
fattened entirely on alfalfa pastures.
For the most part the cattle are high.
grade stock, the predominating breed
being the Durham, with the Hereford
ranking second and the Polled Angus
third in number. The alfalfa pastures
are capable of supporting many more
cattle than are the native camps"
or unbroken country. In a general
way the cattle raisers estimate on 2h
acres of pasture per head for grow
ing cattle, and 3 to 81 acres for fat
tening cattle. These pastures sup
port the cattle the year round without
any further feeding except in
sional times of drouth or invasion of
locusts.
"At the time of my VISIT" says DR..
Melvin, "cattle that dressed 800
pounds were sold for $74.80 gold.
This grade of Argentine beef, which
is of very high quality, is selling in
England for from 8 to 9 cents a pound
wholesale. Besides the price recei7.
ed for the meat there is a consider
able return from the hide and the Of
fal, and since the entrance of Ameri-
a packers into the South American
trade these by-products are being
carefully prepared and utilized"

Our Boys Opportunity

Luther Burbank, by experience and
accomplishment doubtless the best
qualified man in the world today to
make such a statement, says the great
opportunity for u boys and young
men is in agriculture. He points out
that after the young man has spent
eight years at hard study of medicine,
the law or engineering, he has not
made a success; he is only prepared
to commence the battle for it. Where
as, to add but one kernel Of corn to
each ear grown in this country in a
single year would increase the supply
5000, 900 bushels. One improvement
in the potato is already paying back
$17, 900, 900 a year. Everything we eat
and wear comes out of the ground.
With less than half of our population
raising things, should there be any
wonder that the cost of living has in
creased So per cent. in fifteen years?
To quote from Mr.. Burbank:
"What the world needs, urgently
and now, is men who can increase the
forage from our present acreage so
that Is cennts will buy a pound Of the
choicest ~sirloin, as of old, instead of a
pound of rump, as now.
what the world needs is not the.
DRY, or agitation, or college lore; there
are plenty Of these, and at a cost Of
$3.50, 1000, 900 per annum in money, and
who knows how much time, they have
succeeded in increasing our crop yield

what the world needs is men who
a do to agriculture and to horticul-
ture what Edison did to electricity,
Carnegie to steel and the Vanderbilts,
Hills and Harrimans to %transporta-
tions-develop their efficiency"

THE MEXICAN PUZZLE

In general outline the record Is
about like this: President Wilson let
Huerta know that he wouldn't do and
must step aside; Huerta was busy
arranging for elections. President
Wilson sen word that the kind of
elections proposed wouldn't do at all
and would not be recognized; Huerta
made his generals and trusted lieu
tenants candidates and proceeded
with the election. President Wilson
informed Huerta that really he must
quit; Huerta was %engrossed in the or
g%anization Of the new congress. Pres
ident Wilson informed Huerta that
there must be no more delay in his
retirement; Huerta said that to retire
wasn't ven in his dreams.
President Wilson told John Lind to
pull his freight; Huerta remarked
that, why. certainly, he would retire.
and John Lind went back to the cap
ital town. President Wilson told
Hale to parley with Carranza and thus
brighten Huerta, but Huerta didn't
brighten worth a cent. President Will
son told Hale to press harder in ne
gOtiations assigned to him. Carranza
made the twelfth or thirteenth cap
ture of Juarez and then, with the air
of one whose conquest of Mexico was
complete, he gave Hale the merry ha-
ha or the glad-hand ta-ta, or what
ever they call Eau revoir" in Spanish.
President Wilson planned a policy of
port blockading and of starvation for
the Huerta pocketbook; Huerta, last
heard of was arranging for the rou-
tine transaction of business by a con
gress which is the product of an cleo.
ton not recognized in Washington as
legal.
Thus it is in skeleton. OF course,
there is plenty of coloring-the Diaz
experience, the arrest of a lot of legis-
lators, the levy of war taxes by the
provisional presidents fiat, the activ-
tiles of O'Shaughnessy, the courtesies
of the powers of Europe-and all that.
But h situation is as it was at the
beginning. Like II own star spang-
led banner, Huerta is still there" So
1t is In a great country which, &C
cOrding to the Washington view, has
no legal government as long as Huer-
ia holds on and which will not have
any government at all, legal or illegal,
II Huerta steps out. President Will
sons strength is that thus far his own
congress is looking on and not saying
a word. The American public is not
aware that President Wilson has a
Mexican policy, but the public is not
complaining. The one ract that seems
to be ascertained is that the Ameri-
car people don't want war-but they
r beginning to suggest that they
would like to 9 something DONE

His friend went to Alaska, and with
a small stake made in the gold fields
he returned to Oklahoma where a few
days ago he sold properties for $780,

molly refuses to reveal the name of his
friend, but the check has been placed
to his credit at a local bank.

Federal Aid for Roads

George r. Melton, state highway
commissioner, has inaugurated an &C.
tive compaign throughout Montana to
arouse public interest in the Good
Roads bill introduced in congress by
Representative John M. Evans and
Senator Henry L. Myers.
The bill provides that the federal
government shall set aside for road
purposes 100000 acres of land in each
of the public land states, the proceeds
of the sale of these lands to be used
for the construction and maintenance
of state roads. This bill will affect
eight of the western states, including
Montana. The bill has the ~unquali-
fed endorsement of the Interior De
partment. 1t seems probable that it
will be passed by congress at the next
regular session converting in Deem
Der. Throughout the entire western
country the is meeting with
enthusiastic support, and Mr.. Melten
is DESTROYS of securing the endorse
ment of all the commercial clubs, au-
tomobile associations and other public
bodies in Montana in behalf of the
measure. He has directed a letter to
these organizations, asking that action
be taken in each community looking
towards official endorsement of the
bill.
1t is the purpose of the state high
way commission, should this measure
become a law, to take advantage of
it's provisions to establish one of the
most complete and creditable systems
of public highways in this state that
can be found in the west. Under the
direction of the commission extensive
work is now going forward in several
Of the counties of the state, where con-
victs from the state penitentiary are
being employed in the construction of
public highways. This is notably true
in Flathead county, where about $50
convicts r now employed in build
ing a road around the east shore of
Flathead lake, to make a connecting
link in the Park-to-Park road.
