Joyful Anticipation
Of Motherhood

There is apt to be latent apprehension
of distress to mar the complete joy of
expectation. But this is quite overcome
by the advice of so many women to use
Mothers Friend" This is an external
application designed to so lubricate the
muscles and to thus so relieve the pres
sure reacting on the nerves, that the
natural strain upon the cords and liga-
ments is not accompanied by those severe
pains said to cause nausea, morning sick
ness and many local distresses. This
splendid embrocation is known to multi
tude of mothers.
Many people believe that those remedies
which have stood the test of time, that
have been put to every trial under the
varying conditions Of age, weight, general
health, etc, may be safely relied upon.
And judging by the fact that Mothers
Friend" has been in continual use since
our grandmother's earlier years and is
known throughout the United States it
may be easily inferred that it is some-
thing that women talk about and gladly
recommend to prospective mothers.
'Mother'S Friend" is prepared only in
our own laboratory and is sold by drug
gists everywhere. Ask for bottle to-day
and write for a special book for expectant
mothers. Address Bradheld Regulator

tiles as last year-Colorado, Nebraska
and Kansas.
They average heavier than last year,
because of good summer rains. They
should all fill contract requirements.
Shipping will begin later this year
than last year, on account, first, of the
lambs better condition, which does
not call for as long feed; and, sec
ond, the high price of feed in the east,
which makes it important for the feed
er that he finish the lambs out in as
short a time as possible.
The feeder market and fat market
in the east are good, better this year
than they have been for a good many
years past.
If any lambs are left over not con
tracted they will pay out if shipped
direct to the market, according to one
well known sheep man Should any
Of the sheep men not succeed in sell
ing or fail to ship, there is plenty of
feed all over the country, so they will
all winter well and so make money
by holding over.
There is considerable movement Of
breeding ewes to California this fall,
and If the movement keeps up it will
diminish the number of ewes in New
Mexico to a big extent
The ewes are going to California
farms. So far 10000 head have been
shipped.
The farmers are buying young ewes
instead Of old ones, as in previous
years. Previously they have bought
old ewes, lambed them out and sold
both ewes and lambs.
The buying of young ewes indicates
that the farmers intend to stay in the
business.
Sheep men are depending a good
deal on breeding coarse wool rams, as
they are not counting on a good wool
market In the spring.
However, the sheep men were we'll
pleased with the years prices. They
feel, apparently, that wool will follow
cotton, so they are not looking for a
greedy market next year.
What sheepmen should hope for
right now from a business viewpoint
is rattling good victory for the Ger
mans in sea battle. One victory by
the Germans in sea fight would put
a lot Of stiffening in the wool market
With Germany rampant on the sea
and threatening to make trouble, Ar
gentine, Australia and South Africa
would be afraid to ship wool to dunn
on this market as is now threatened
Almost everything in the lamb mar
ket is contracted for. Only compar

COPPERS MIGHT BE PERSUAD-
ED TO LIFT THE LID

Although Halloween is celebrated
on the eve of the festival Of All Saints,
and is intended to usher in with notes
OF solemn music and other sanctimon-
ious devices the occasion of high
church holiday, it is universally devot-
ed to the Vaccinations Of deviltry-
doers Of all ages. Little boys like to
ring doors bells and run, and tear
down signs, and tie pigs to gate posts,
and play all sorts of pranks that are
an annual escape for all the gathered
up mischief of the year between And
big boys and girls like best on this
night to gather in ghostly yestments
and with Jack-o-lanterns and bob for
apples and play clapin-and-clap-out
and make Of the few hours before mid
night an All Fools" night.
All Of which is just exactly as it
should be, Our mothers and our faith
ers and our forbears as far back as
the foundation of the holiday all did
it; and we are entitled to just as
much fun as they WERE
This year offers an opportunity to
the fathers of our city to make them
selves the real heroes Of many a gen
GRAFTON to come This is the tip. Take
the lid off of Las Vegas for that one
night; let the kids do what they please
in the way of street demonstration
make it Mardi Gras, confetti, a
masquerade night.
There are many parties scheduled
for the evening. 1t would be a cork
ing good time, late in the night, just
before the graveyards yawn at the
stroke Of 12, for the merrymakers all
to assemble, say, at Fountain Square,
and exchange a few white-sheeted
pleasantries.
1t might appeal to few gentlemen
to assume the garb of the eternal
feminine; it might even please some
of the ladies to risk a little freedom
in trousers, maintaining, of course, a
careful mask
How about it. Mr.. Policeman? Would
you suspend the rules for the nonce?
Come on. Be good fellow.
Let the honorable council take ear.

selves in the purple robes of glory and

an open city for the night.

5 The first woman typist to write over a hundred words a minute in a speed contest was Miss Bessie Friedman of New York, who accomplished the feat at Spokane Wash.s two years ago to- day. On that occasion Miss Fried man averaged ~nearly 107 words a minute for thirty minutes. Tn 1908 Miss Rose Fritz wrote eighty-two words a minute, which remained the record until 1910, When H. o. Blais- dell pounded out 1O9 words in sixty seconds. Miss Florence F. Wilson reached 112 in 1912, surpassing Miss Fsrfedman's feat. In 1918 at New York Miss Margaret B. Owen won the typewriting championship with an average of 125 words a minute for sixty minutes Emil Trefzgor took second place with 12O words, and Gus Trefzgor was third with IF words. At the wor1dss championship contest held in Toronto last April Miss Owen retained her title, writing 126 words a minute for half an hour Miss
 Rose Fritz was second with 1928 3
 words and Miss Bessie Friedman took third place with 122 words. Fred Jarrett of Toronto, was the speediest Canadian typist, but he was far back in the. procession with 104 words to
 his credit Miss Friedman was only seventeen when she accomplished the f07-word feat, and at fifteen she won the novice championship.
