ERUPTION ON ANKLE BURNED

Kingsville, Monty trouble began
eighteen years ago. Nearly half OF
the time there were running sores
around my ankle; sometimes it would
be two years at time before they
were healed. There were many nights
I did not sleep because of the great
suffering. The sores were deep rum
ming ones and so sore that could not
bear for anything to touch them.
They would burn all the time and
sting like lot of bees were confined
around my ankle. could not bear to
scratch 1t, it was always SO sensitive
to the touch could not let my
clothes touch it. The skin was, very
red. I made what I called cap out
Of white felt, blotting paper and soft
white cloth to hold it in shape. This
wore night and day
IT tried many remedies for most OF
the eighteen years with no effect.
Last summer I sent for some Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. The very first
time I used Cuticura Soap and Oint-
ment gained relief; they relieved the
pain right then. 1t was three months
from the time / commenced using
Cuticura Soap and Ointment until the
sores were entirely healed. have
not been troubled since and my ankle
seems perfectly WELL" (Signed) Mrs.

Coming back to the crops Of 1913, ia
may safely be said that the yield OF
wheat in Saskatchewan will be about
115,000,000 bushels, with an average
yield of over % bushels per acre.
Oats, which are but a, fair crop, wild
yield an average equal to that of last
year. Barley is excellent, while flax
of which the average is considerably
less than last year, will produce
greater average than for years. What
is said of these crops will apply to all
districts.
Under date of August 18th, report
comes from Regina which says:
Unless some dire calamity occurs
in the next few days farmers Of the
Regina district will reap the greatest
wheat crop ever recorded in the West.

"Such an important exposition is to
be held in Dallas, and hope the result
will be to develop SO much interest
in agriculture, 1t will have the effect
of increasing production TO satisfy
the hunger of people, now clamoring
against the high cost of living.
"I'm a farmer, myself" proudly
claims Mr.. Slayden, land l want the
farmers to have better prices for these
bigger crops they are being stimulated
to raise.
eff this exposition land I unders-
tand it does) aims to make two bet
ter blades of grass where one average
blade grew before, and to get better
price to the producer for the high
grade increased yield, we should re-
joice that we are to have such con-
centrated system of education in the
Southwest for two weeks.
at will bring to Texas, valuable
information in regard to grain prod
ucts and other necessaries of life, we
haven't had, and in exchange, we
can give to visitors to take to other
parts OF the country such agricultural
knowledge as we have worked out in
this section, thus making the exposi.
ton of enormous mutual advantage
to those who attend from every part
of the United States. Texas should
not lose sight of the fact that she Is
upon this occasion to make the best
possible showing before the whole
world, in the International contests
and competitions of resources and
products. -
Congressman Slayden is particular
ly interested in the Good Roads De-
partment of the exposition, and
points out that it is much more i'm
portant to have good roads to trans
port the produce of the farmer cheap
ly than to save the wear on automo-
biles. He is with the exposition in
its efforts to have good roads through
rural districts for the farmers, not
improved highways for city joy rid
ing.
When in Client last summer, Mr..
Slayden says he saw crops on land
IN cultivation every year for five
hundred years, or more, producing
wheat from fifty to one hundred per
cent better than our wheat, which
shows what we could do through
adopting their scientific methods of
farming, concludes Mr.. Slayden.
''lt proves that through the proper
fertilization and cultivation of the
land, we can preserve it's fertility,
which getting better yields, and an
exposition which will tell us how to
do this is certainly of inestimable
value to the country"

stand erect before Chief Justice
White, on little platform built by
the side Of the road that runs be
tween the Capitol and the grounds Of
the Congressional Library, and there,
surrounded by tens of thousands OF
his countrymen and countrywomen,
take the oath Of office as chief mag

.A GIGANTIC FINANCIAL 6 CON-
TEST. q q

When President Wilson appointed
Mr.. McAdoo Secretary Of the Treas
ury there were many doubters. He
was a New York man, and fears We're
entertained that Wall Street would
4 continue its dominating Influence oye1
the finances of the country. But al
doubts have I'll vanished. s. Secretary
SMcAdoo has long been recognized as
a man who possessed, executive abil-
lily Of an eptionally high order,
4 and he is using all Of his great abil-
titles to free the country from Wall
Streets bondage. 3y55
When all the power of the Federal
government is used by a man like
the present Secretary Of the Treas
q ury, the money trust had better be
ware. The finances Of the greatest
commercial nation that has ever
existed, have been too long at the
finger ends Of less than a dozen pri-
vate individuals, "a majority Of
whom are money crazy. The strug-
Sgle between the government and the
money trust is Of gigantic proper
.tions, but the government is going to
win, and the public is not going to
( be harmed by the dying kicks OF
predatory wealth.

THE VALUATION OF RAILWAY
PROPERTY.

Since the ruling of the Supreme
Court of the United States, In the
Minnesota rate cases, the right of
the public to demand the physical
valuation Of al railroad property, is
generally conceded. The question
now is not the right to demand
the vluation of railroads as a basis
upon which to fix rates and charges,
but how shall the valuation be made.
The highest court in the land is
in error when it lays down the rule
that railroad right-of-way shall be
determined by the current market
value of similar land in its vicinity
Everyone who has had any expe-
rjence, at all knows, that railroad
cannot be purchased at
the market value of land in its yicin-
ity. A line of railway frequently
lnjuriess property by dividing it in
to undesirable parcels. And, some
