Breeding Live Stock.
KulIy DRUG Co.

The season for breeding ami
mails is with us again, aud it
might be well for us TO do some
thinking before we brec d
mares, COWS, sows and other
live stock to anything but pure
bred, high grade males. Why
Because we want to raise only
such stock as will command the
best price on the market. 1t
costs Just as much TO raise a
scrub colt or calf as il does a
well bread one, and scrub viii
sell for only Il small part OF
what well bred animal will
bring. Nou may think that if
a male animal station. bull or
boar is a good individual it is
well TO bred TO him whether he
is well bred or not. This is not
true, us a good individual if he
is not pure bred is not as prepo-
tent, not as sure of STAMPING
his good qualities on his Off
spring as pure bred sire The
longer the strain of animals is
bred pure the surer they are to
transmit their qualities. y SUI
perh individual if Of uncertain,
unstable lienage will be uncer-
tain of transmitting his quail
ties.
Our work ho'ses are too light
in weight and we should breed
to pure bred heavy Percherons.
Belgian or Clydesdale stations
so rs to raise better grade Of
work stock. There are far too
many Jersey steers in the coun-
ty. Breed to full blooded Short
Horne and Hereford bulls and
double the value of your calf,
In > year years the value of live
stock in Wise County can be
doubled by breeding to pure
bred, high grade males
How about organizing a
stock breeders association and
buy number of males as they
are sadly lacking; These males
could be owned by the nssocia-
ticn and moved about over the
county. Let's follow these sug-
gestions aud double the value
OF our live stock

Southern 'unties are beginning to realize that fighting the Northern Ocean-to- Ocean route and the trip to the Grand Canyon has but little effect on tourist travel. They are bound to see the Grand Canyon, view the won- derful scenery of the north and enjoy the cool breezes while doing it. Gila county is one of the first to realize this fact and will take advantage of it by connecting a road north with Coconino county in order that visitors may make the trip south after visit ing the north, if they desire. Many would undoubtedly do this if there was good highway. While this year, on account of so many wanting to at tend the expositions, travel south may not be so heavy, but in years to come the Grand Canyon will attract people tc Arizona and from there they will scatter out y,.r the state wherever tnsre are gUr.i connecting roads.

THEY HAVE BEEN TAUGHT"

A collecting agency which claims to have had experience in collecting sub scription accounts for newspapers kindly hands us the following proposi- tion. You will note that they claim to have been taught"
 "We will handle any of your col lections other than delinquent news paper subscriptions at the advertised rates. Delinquent newspaper sub scriptions are collected at one-fourth of what is actually collected after we get the list. No collection-No pay. We regret that it is necessary to make this distinction but our several years experience in the newspaper business and then in the collection business has taught us that they are hardest class of collections to make, necessitating more work and ex- pense."
 This is not slam at our subscrib- CTS for for most of them pay, but the delinquent subscriber has even made a name for himself among the we'll posted collection agencies.

"When the war ends, all European countries will be organized on syn dicate basis. Their industries will be more centrally controlled. They must get on their feet as soon as possible. Foreign trade will be needed more than ever and it must be secured at the least possible expense"
 This is a statement made in the Manufacturers News by a western man who stands high in the business world. Mir. J. Pierpont Morgan, Jr., recently returned from abroad, de- clares that the European war can not last more than year longer. Con- sidering these two statements, where will this country "get off at" under a Democratic tariff for revenue only ? A Republican protective tariff law will be required to hold back the flood of foreign-made, syndicate-selling goods. Remember that on election day, 1916.

Over fifteen tons of mail order cat

Over fifteen tons of mail order cat alogs were received at Phoenix re- gently for distribution over the state. It is we'll known fact that the mail order houses do not have much chance in community of live business men, the odds are against them. It is only in backwoods districts or in districts where backwoods business men are trying to do business that mail order houses do their greatest amount of business. Towns where the business man calmly dozes and say, 70 every body knows me and what l sell" In nine cases out of ten people do know that merchant-they know too what he has to sell and it is the main req son they send their money to mail order house. Catalogs cost money, some one pays it and the mail order houses get rich. The local news papers may hammer mail order houses all they please, but it is up to the local merchants to make an actual demonstration that they want local trade, that they have the goods and that their prices are right.
 Newspapers are always willing to do their share and the theory of trad ing at home is correct, but when the merchants themselves acknowledge defeat and inability to cope with mail order houses by not advertising and by sending away for their own print ing, there is little hope for change of conditions. It's altogether, fight the game square and seethings move to the advantage of all.

acreage to bunko the people back east into believing the service was saving the United States from total distruc- ton and robbery by the highwaymen of the west. Eastern people believed it because they had done that sort of thing back east themselves, and after having gobbled everything in sight back east, wanted the government to save the west for them as against the nefarious hqmesteader who had the audacity to live on 16O acres of it.

Is some one trying to "job" the street paving, or are the people get ting square deal? Is some one re- neging? If so, the people should ad- vance the money and call the game. There has not been one single objec- tion from property owners and it looks exceedingly queer that there is any delay. A half dozen property owners could get together and make things hum privatly to the regret of any "bull-dog-in-the-manger" stunt. If there is much delay a mass meet ing might be called to locate the "pup."

Mr. Redfield says he is going to in- vestigate the steamboat inspection service for the last fifteen years. We imagine that the kind of steamboat inspection in vogue in 1900 will be fas- cinating information for survivors of the Eastland horror. The kind of in spection in vogue on the Great Lakes in 1915 will be much more interesting
 even though it is embarrassing to Mir. Redfield.

In this chest you have an excellent remedy for toothache, bruises, sprains stiff neck, backache, neuralgia, rheu- matism and for most emergencies. One 25c. bottle of Sloan's Liniment does it all-this because these ail- ments are symptoms, not diseases, and are caused by congestion and in- flamation. If you doubt, ask those who use Sloan's Liniment, or better still, buy 25c. bottle and prove it. All druggists.-Adv.

Brakeman Was Cured

F. A. Wootsey, railroad brakeman of Jacksonville, Texas, writes: "I was down with kidney trouble and rheum- atism so bad I could hardly get up when I sat down. I had a backache all the time and was almost tired of living. I saw Foley Kidney Pills ad- vertised. I took some and after a short time l was thoroughly cured and am having no more trouble" They act promptly and help kidneys throw poisonous waste products out of the blood.
