Money in Soap Weed

The farmers of the Nara Visa dis
trict, New Mexico, shipped ten car
loads of soap weed monthly, during
the season. The average value per
carload was $11O. From Hugoton,
Kansas, fifty-one carloads were ship
ped by two dealers who paid the farm
ers So per ton, or the sum of $5,3O4.
1t is sent to St. Louis, where it is
into Irvine. Another

other, bayonet weed. 1t grows wild
all over the region west of the Goth

WILL BE BIG YEAR
w. O. Skinner Returns From Valley
Trip and Says Prospects for Year
Are Good

That the sheep feeders of the Ar
kansas valley have ahead of them the
greatest year in the history of this
section of the state, is the opinion of
w. O. Skinner, commercial agent for
the Santa Fe, who has just returned
from a trip through the sheep raising
communities of the valley.
1t is expected that $4,000 head Of
sheep will be fed in this section of the
state during the next six months. The
sheep feeders of Prowers county at
the present time have 125, 900 head of
sheep which they expect to fatten for
the eastern markets. The feeders of
Bent county have $4,000 head while
the farmers in Otero county have on
hand $1,000 head of sheep.
These numbers will be increased %
per cent within the next fifteen days
and will be ready for the market by
February /. From this date to April
/, the railroads will be kept busy NOV
ing the live stock. Mr.. Skinner states
that the sheep business is being con-
Quoted on a larger scale in this Sec
ton this year than ever before. The
cattle figures are not obtainable as yet
but Mr.. Skinner states that he will
have the biggest shipment from Colo
RADIO in the history of the road.

Easter Fancies and Sentiment,

OF course we are not superstitious
in these enlightened days; but there
are certain little fancies that have
been handed down to US that we OBJ
serve "just for fun," and many Of
these have to do with Easter. For in
stance, whoever would think Of allow
ing Easter Sunday to pass without
having eaten three eggs, or having
provided three new things" to wear?
Doesn't every one feel little thrill
of gladness or sadness on Easter
morn, according as the sun is shining
or the clouds are heavy, as Indication
that the year to come Is to be a gen.
orally prosperous or dull one, as the
case may be?
There used to be good deal of
superstition attached to the giving
and receiving of Easter gifts. but that
has practically disappeared, and while
flowers remain the most appropriate
offering, one may present anything
that seems desirable, from a pair of
gloves or box of handkerchiefs to
handsome piece of jewelry. There
seems to be, however, a tacit under
standing that the Easter gift shall be
peculiarly appropriate to the recipient.
something especially desired, if it is
not at the same time symbolic of the
season.

Roston's Celebration,

One hundred years ago March Is
Boston celebrated the thirty-eighth an
niversary of the evacuation of the
city by the British troops under Gen
eral Wilkinson during the Revolution
The celebration naturally was accom-.
panied by a great display of enthusi
asm, for the second war with Great
Britain was then in progress and the
spirit of patriotism was running high
Flags were displayed in profusion by
the citizens and salutes were fired by
the ships of war in the harbor. A large
military and civic parade was the
spectacular feature of the day. In the
evening there were fireworks and illu.
limitations and public banquet al
which patriotic addresses were deliv.
cred by officials of the state and city
and officers of the army and navy.

Unseen in it's approach, hard to de-
tect in its early stages, and cruelty
painful in it's later forms, uric acid
poisoning is disease too often fatal.
Bright's disease is one of the final
stages Of uric acid poisoning. 1t kills
in our country every year more men
and women than any other ailment
except two-consumption and pneu-
monia. Bright's disease and uric acid
poisoning usually start in some kidney
weakness that would not be hard to
cure, If discovered early, SO it is well
to know the early signs Of kidney dis
ease and uric poisoning.
When uric acid is formed too fast
and the kidneys are weakened by a
cold, or fever, by overwork or by over
indulgences, the acid collects, the blood
gets impure and heavy, there is head
ache, dizziness, heart palpitation, and
a dull, heavy-headed, drowsy feeling
with disturbances of the urine.
Real torture begins when the uric
acid forms into gravel or stone in the
kidney, or crystallizes into jagged bits
in the muscles, joints or on the nerve
tubings. Then follow the awful pains
of neuralgia, rheumatism, govt, sciat,
lea, neuritis, lumbago or kidney collie.

Nobody doubts but that the natural
Guide given to Man by God is Reason;
if this be duly attended to, we shall
act agreeably to Order and good
Sense, and do nothing odd or extrava-
CANT Wherefore it may not be amiss
to expose the Oddness of Custom
among the Portuguese of wearing
Spectacles for no other End but an At
fectation of Gravity; SO that if a per-
son had mind to be respectable, he
must not appear in any Assembly
without a pair on his Nose. And this

The Reason.

But why does the civilized world
celebrate this, the principal feast of
the Christian era?
First, because the resurrection of
Jesus Christ from the dead confirmed
the claims of his life; and, second,
because through countless ages that
the world has lasted not a single mes
sage has been brought back to us from
the grave but one-the one that he
brought to us on this day.
When the stone was rolled bsck
from the sepulchre door and Christ
arose, the world for the first time was
assured of the absolute certainty of
a life beyond the grave.

What Inference FnIlows.
Idle Man Not to Be Envied.

Idleness is one Of the greatest
enemies of character. AS someone
has said, THE devil tempts other
men. but idle men tempt the devil"
Do not envy the idle man, whoever
you may envy. You may have too
much to do, and too many things to
think about; still, do not envy the
man who has not enough to think
about, and has to fall back upon him
self. The passions of human nature
break loose in idle men, and wander
over forbidden places seeking what
thew can devour.-Dr. James Stalker
