DRINK HOT TEA
FOR A BAD COLD

Get a small package of Hamburg
Breast Tea, or, is the Corman folks
call it, "lIamburger Brust Thee,
at any pharmacy. Take teaspoon
full of the tea, put a cup of boiling
water upon it, pour through a sieve
and drink a teacup full at any time.
1t is the most effective way to break
a cold and cure grip, as it opens
the pores, relieving congestion. Also
loosens the bowels, thus breaking a
cold at once.
1t is inexpensive and entirely vege-
table, therefore harmless.

AND CREDITS
INFERENCE
COOPERATION THE FIRST AND
IMPORTANT STEP IN REoRGAN-
iZATloN OF AMERICAN AGRi.
CULTURE, SAYS McVEY.

Chicago, Dec. l.-Co-operation as
the first and important step in the
proposed reorganization of Ameri-
can agriculture along lines that will
bring lasting prosperity was pictured
by Frank l.. McVey, chairman of the
third national conference on market
ing and farm credits, in his address
welcoming the delegates. He argues
for better agriculture, better markets,
and better financing and said in
part:
1--WE are told that of the wealth
produced in a given year. agriculture
was to be credited for $9,000,000, 900
and that Sc per cent of the population
of the United States is engaged in
farming or supported by it. Despite
this showing, agriculture, taken as
a whole, has not prospered. 1t is
agreed that there must be changes,
which may be centered about three
things:
% Better agriculture; (2) better
markets and go better financing.
Better agriculture is fairly well
taken care of through the work of
the department of agriculture, in
the activities of the farming associa-
tions and by the schools and col
leges. But, it has been clearly shown
that better agriculture depends upon
an adequate system of finance. I'm
provements have taken place in the
quicker transportation of products
and in prompter financial service. Yet
these have not touched the real prob
lem.
Between the farmer and the con
sumer there is a great commercial
and financial gap. In the mercantile
world this gap between the producer
and the consumer is being brldged
rapidly by the establishment of the
necessary machinery of branches and
agents. But, the farmer is playing
the game along and finds it increas-
ingly difficult to protect himself
against his own ignorance and iso-
lation.
"The farmer should come to a
larger appreciation of the necessity
of cooperation between the agricul-
tural groups. 1t is not question OF
socialism or individualism of dem
ocracy or republicanism it is a ques-
ton of efficiency and social better
ment
There is still a third element in
this problem to be considered, FL
nancing the farmer has been dis
cussed nearly everywhere. Without
question, no great industry can pro-
gress unless it has an adequate sys-
TEN of finance. The commercial
world long learned this and the
farmer must come into clearer ap-
probation of its meaning. AS yet,
no plan has been attempted and no
details have been made clear. 1t
is now time that both be done
In the final analysis, no one is
going to solve the farmers problem
for him. He must do that for him
self. Nor will he solve it by his
clannish attitude of class spirit The
problems are fundamentally economic
and must be based upon sound prin-
ciples of business and finance. Hence
cooperation becomes the keynote"

BOIL WEEVlLs AT DURANT
Farmers Find Cotton Pest Hiberna'
tino in Jimson Weeds.

Durant, Okla, Dec. boil wee
wills have been found alternating in
Jimson weeds in this county, and the
county farm agent will make an in
vestigation to see whether the ones
found were an isolated case or wheth-
er it was an indication that the
weevils make jimson weeds their
winter home. If it is true that boil
weevils winter in jimson weeds the
farmers will be advised to burn all
such weeds with a view to stamping
out the pests. These weeds grow
in large quantities in this section,
and this discovery may explain why
the weevils come back even when
all cotton plants have been burned.

LIGHT SERVICE IN ALASKA |S NOW
 IMPROVED

Alaska equipment and light service is treated in the annual report of the commissioner of light houses to the secretary of commerce. The part re- ferring to Alaska says:
 Attention has been given to the i'm provement of various types of appar- atus and equipment. Experiments were made with temporary gas lights for winter use at certain isolated sta tions on the Great Lakes, with good results. Radio apparatus was ordered for five light house tenders. Line throwing guns have been installed at several Alaska stations, to facilitate landing through the surf.
 During the fiscal year 47 tenders and 66 light vessels were In commis- sion. Two new tenders were com pleted and immediately placed on duty; the Laurel, for service in Ches- apeake Bay and the North Carolina Sounds, and the Fern, for service in southeastern Alaska. Two new light vessels were also completed and placed on station; No. at Poo Reef, southerly entrance to Straits of Mac kinac, Lake Huron. Mich, and No, | 98, at the entrance to Buffalo Harbor' Lake Erie, New York The following new vessels are now under construc' tion. The first class tender Cedar, for. Alaska; the medium draft tender Rose for Washington and Oregon, and light vessels Nos. 101 and 1O2, for the Atlantic coast. A contract has also recently been awarded for the new tender Palmetto. for service in the inside waters of the South Allan tic coast, and plans are in preparation for two new light vessels.

WILL TAKE FIVE YEARS BUILD
 RAILROAD

WASHINGTON, Dec. 25. - Chair. man Edes was closeted for a long time yesterday with Secretary Lane concerning the conditions and pro gress of the government railroad in Alaska
 MT. Edes informed the secretary that 1,5OO men were icebound at An chorage, the government railway town, as the result of the early clos ing of Cook Inlet.
 The railroad commissioner also re ported that his commission had built 35 miles of road during the past year. He said he believed that the road could be built without any difficult engineering feats, and he estimated that it would require five years in which to build the road to the Panama river.
 MT Edes stated that the climate was healthful and that the health of ficers had eliminated the mosquito annoyance as they went along by at tacking the breeding ponds and the swamps.
 MT. Edes advised that most of the work on the railroad be done under contract.
