Prospects Not Bright For Condensed
Milk Business.

Things looked rather blue around the
office at the milk factory when the
Republican representative was there
Monday. The current number of the
Sussex Milk Reporter had just arrived
and was filed with items from the
newspapers like these. "In one Ameri-
can city the importation of condensed
milk has increased from 1900 cases to
366, 600 cases since condensed milk went
on the free list" 1880 cases of con
densed milk arrived in New Orleans
last week, from Switzerland" etc.
The facts are that much of this milk
was offered for sale to the wholesale
trade in this country, for less than the
farmers are now paid for the raw pro.
duct Jobbers and importers are very
much in favor Of this condition of
affairs as they buy that much cheaper.
There has been no change however In
the retail price Of condensed milk, as a
rule. When you get out of politics and
down to business there is just one of
three things which must happen. The
tariff on condensed milk must be placed
back, the condensed milk factories in
this country must shut down, or the
farmers must get less for their milk.
Which shall it be2 Restore the tariff
of course. e.-Howell Republican.
In view OF the recent talk Of con.
densed milk plant for Owosso the above
is Of more than passing interest.

Forest Notes,

There is considerable amount of
yew in California, and makers of bows
are seeking material there for archery
sets.
Western yellow pine cones, to the
amount of 6,377 bushels, obtained on
the Bitterroot national forest, Montana,
yielded 9,4S2 pounds of seed. The
average cost of the extracted seed was
Il cents per pound.
Results from western white pine
plantations three seasons or more old
show an average of 81 per cent success.
On average white pine soil planting
can be conducted for from $5 to So per
acre.
Forest botanists recognize only one
cypress in the United States. It's range
extends from Delaware southwark
around the coast into Texas and up the
Mississippi valley to Illinois and In.
diana. 1t is one of the few cone bear
ing trees which drop their leaves in
winter. The heartwood of cypress is
noted for its decay resistant properties.
The Chinese national conservation
bureau is considering reforestation at
at the headwaters of the Yellow River
The government report shows that this
will ameliorate the torrents and cause
more regular flow from the now de.
nuded uplands. 1t is acknowledged,
however, that this reforestratlon may
not have an appreciable effect within
the lifetime of the present generation

Whereas, bills have been intro

chairman r. A. Dobson, vice chair
man, w. D. Kirby, and secretaries

delegates attended the convents6MSia
spirit Of mediation, with no intSna
ton of stirring up strife, but soon
after the convening of the body the
issue was raised by the administra-

tire proceedings. In spirit of con-
ciliation the administration advocates
were offered two delegates to the
State convention, but they demand
ed an equal division with the result
that they got nothing.

the action of the county executive
committee of last Friday night in
adopting a resolution that placed on
the prime facie roll of delegates for
the county convention all delegates of
uncontested city clubs and. country
clubs though the latter clubs have not

the executive committee within three
days after the club meetings their

county convention meeting of two
years ago when two conventions were
organized and two sets of delegates
went to the State convention. Leland
Moore was elected permanent chair
man of the -Grace-Blease conven-
ton, while j. p. Mitchell was elected

IF YOUR BOWELS DON'T
ACT RIGHT READ THIS

We believe your doctor will tell Won
that about ninety-five per cent of all
human ills are indirectly caused by
unclean and constipated bowels. You
know the first question the doctor
always asks is, "Are your bowels
regular?"
10 make and keep your bowels
regular, use Rexall Orderlies. We
believe they are the safest, most de-
pendable, easiest to take and most
thoroughly good remedy for bowel
troubles ever made. We back this
belief with our honest promise that.
II they do not satisfy you in every
way, we will give back the money
you paid for them as soon as YOU tell
US.
Rexall Orderlies taste like CANDY.
Soothing and easy in action, they do
not cause gripping, nausea, purging
or excessive looseness, as do most
physics and especially salts. They
tone and strengthen the nerves and
musles of the bowels, promptly re-
lieving constipation and helping over
come its cause, thus relieving sick
headache, biliousness, bad breath,
nervousness and other ills attendant
upon inactive bowels. In vest pock-
ct tin boxes; 10c, Csc, SOC.
