STRENGTH FOR olD PEOPLE

Old people, to overcome the
weakening, debilitatirg effects of
increasing old age, often make a
very sad mistake in using so.called
remedies" that contain alcohol
and dangerous or habit-forming
drugs. Often this stuff, because
it livens and brightens them up a
little just after taking dose, leads
them to imagine that it is doing
them good, when it isn't. Rene
dies that rely for their sale on such
deceit, do harm, because the false
excitement of the nerves and heart
leaves them worse than they were
before.
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion is a
real medicine--a splendid body
and strength-builder, especially
good for old people, because it
furnishes to the system ingredients
necessary to rebuild wasted it's
sues, strengthen the nerves, give
new energy and Younger and
liveler feeling to the body. 1t
doesn't contain a drop OF alcohol
nor any dangerous drug. 1t may
not make you feel better after the
first dose, nor perhaps for several
days. But if you don't feel much
better and stronger before you
have taken a quarter as much as
you have of other medicines that
didn't help you, we will gladly
give YOU back your money. That's
certainly square deal.
The four Hypophospites it con-
tains are used by leading physi-
clans everywhere in debility, weak
ness and liability to disease, to
tone and strengthen the nerves.
Purest Olive Oil, one oil the most
nutricious, most-easily-d digested
foods known, being taken with the
hypophosphites, gives rich tissue
nourishment to the entire system.
You who are weak and rundown,
and you who are apparently well
now, but are liable to suffer from
various cold weather ailments, use
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion to get
and keep we'll and strong. For
the tired-out, rundown, nervous,
emaciated or debilitated--the con-
valescing growing chiIdren-aged
people-it is a sensible pleasant
tasting aid to renewed strength,
better spirits, glowing health. If
it does not help YOU, your money
will be given back to you without
argument. Sold in this community

THE FINLEY NEWS DID IT

There was a man in our town
And he was wonderous wise,
He got a notion IN his head
That he would advertise.
And so he got a paper out
In which he rhymed and joked
Until a reader split his side
And then curled up and croaked.

utilities that bring them IN contact
with each other, and that the more
nearly perfect in efficiency and suf-
fciency the utilities serving the
public are, the more prosperity,
comforts and conveniences the pu-
bile will enjoy.
We believe our story is an in
teresting one, and we hope that
everyone will read it.
Note. an instance of the
kind of startling news which news
papers sometimes publish, we
want to call attention to recent
articles in the newspapers headed.
United States Government Calls
Upon Two Girl Stenographers to
Tell Where They Got Two Million
Dollars to Form the Corporation
Securities and Investment Com
pany." Then the articles went on
to say that this Corporation Secu-
rites and In, estment Company
was a scheme of the Telephone
Company to further its purpose of
monopolizing telephone compa-
nies, etc.
The truth is that our company
has been met with a strong feeling
in the State of Montana--well-nig
universal-that something should
be done to relieve the citizens of
that state, of two telephone sy-
stems. Public meetings have been
held, and votes taken, that the
telephones of one or the other of
the systems should be thrown out.
Resolutions and letters have been
submitted to US, and we have
started out to see what we could
do to relieve the citizens of that
state of this burden.
We found that the Independent
interests operating there also op-
Grated in Spokane, IN the State OF
Washington, and in northern Ida
ho, and that the Independent in
terests doing business in Montana
could not be bought, or sold, so
as to alone cover the property in
Montana, but that the purchase
must include their property in the
states of Idaho and Washington.
The Mountain States Telephone
and Telegraph Company does not
operate in either of these sections,
and, therefore, is not responsible
for telephone conditions there, nor
does it wish to operate there, but
we felt we must meet the situation
in Montana, and so, in order to be
in a position to either buy or sell,
from or to, the Independent inter-
ests in Montana, there was formed
this Corporation Securities and
Investment Company, as corpo-
rate company, TO enter into nego-
tiations with the Independent in
terests in Montana, which nego-
tiations are now in progress, and,
if possible, to buy these Indepen-
dent interests in Montana, north
thern Idaho and Washington, and
then in the end, if that purpose
was accomplished, the Corpora
ton Securities and Investment
/ Company should sell to The Noun
tain States Telephone and Tele-
graph Company the portion of the
Independent plants located in
Montana, and sell to others the
portion of these Independent plants
existing in northern Idaho and
Washington.
We explain this so the public
may know that in the above Fore
word, where we say there is no
company within company, or
wheels within Wheels" we are
speaking absolutely truly, and also
that this. Corporation Securities
and Investment Company, which
was so freely advertised by the
articles in the newspaper referred
to, is absolutely a legitimate and
proper company and organize for
the specific purposes stated.

Its An iii Wind That
Blows Nobody Good

Damage to crops is always misfortune to the
world at large Advices from the corn belt report
that long continued lack of rain and unusually hot
spells of long duration have worked havoc with
the growing crop. Such reports must always, OF
course, be discounted to some extent, as the eN-
element invariably leads to certain amount OF
exaggeration. In this case, however, there is
strong reason to fear that the damage is very
nearly if not fully, as bad as stated.
There is a reflection of this in the Chi
cago grain market. Spectators take pains
to be unusually well informed as to crop con-
ditions and movement Corn is now bullish
Prices are advancing by jumps. So are the
values of other grains. Receipts are falling
off, farmers who are acquainted with the sit
uation evidently preferring to hold cereals
back. They are acquainted with the condi-
tions and believe the damage is SO great and
widespread that still higher prices must re-
suit.
AT the same time reports from If
rigated territory where the farmers are
not dependent upon rainfall, show that
all crops are in magnificent condition.
I The promise for bumper harvests was
never equaled. While the drought in
the non-irrigated area has tended tC
advance prices sharply, the men who
farm irrigated lands are in position tc
take advantage of the situation. They
will have immense quantities of pro.
duce to sell and will get big prices fol
it. This, it is true, is at the expense
of those less fortunate, but in it may
be found forceful illustration of the
benefit of irrigation. 1t makes the
tiller of the soil independent of climatic
conditions.
