With the exception of England and

THE DENVER MARKETS

Denver Union Stock Yards, Nov.
5.-Receipts here last week totaled
nearly $4,000 head. There was a
very good demand from day to day
but heavy receipts East and lower
prices coupled with the big run here
caused a break and the market un-
evenly lower. Medium and common
cattle closed 25 to 80 cents below
the week before, while extra good,
light yearlings and breeding cattle
were not more than 10 to 15 cents
off. Today, with 1900 cattle on
sale, the market was about steady,
altho little slow. Good beef steers
are selling from $3.50 to 81 and
good cows from s5.40 to s5.S5. Ex-
ira choice cows are selling up to $6
and fancy and heavier kinds up to
$6.25. Bulls are bringing $4.25 to
$4,75 and veal calves are selling
from $3.50 to 50. A good many
country buyers were here looking
for feeding and stock cattle and a
large number went to the country.
Good two year old steers re selling
from $685. to $3.50 and choice kinds
up to 81. A good many light steers
sold during the week at 81 to $7.25
and extra choice Gunnison yearlings

very good demand at $475 to $5.25.
The hog trade was active but
prices are lower than week ago

S6.25 to $3.50. The demand here
is strong and everything coming this
way is moving to good advantage.
The sheep supply was fair last
week and another run of $4,000 came
in today. Prices are a little lower
on sheep owing to declines at the
Eastern markets. Good fat lambs
are sellin 6 from $S to $3.50 and
fat ewes around IS to $5.25 Feed
ing lambs re bringing $3.50 to
SS.25 and feeder ewes from $3.50

ministrator's Sale, Thursday. Nov

RADIO.
One hundred and fotry-one head
OF cattle sold under the hammer in
three hours for s13,22150. Buyers

Everett, Of villa Grove, also took ad-
vantage of the sale by purchasing
the three registered cows, paying as
high as $4,000 per head. Col. AL.

cattle salesman, that will long be
remembered by the breeders of the

he sold on the Denver market two
years ago. twenty head of calves at
$40 per hundred The same bunch

MISS MCDONALD
STATES "REMEDY
is REMARKABLE" :"
Denver Woman Is Greatly Pleased
With New Remedy Tanlac.

Miss Sarah Mcdonald, 81 West
Evans St, claims that Tanlac Is the
only remedy she has been able to
find that has relieved a severe case
of stomach trouble Of long standing
She says:
Il have suffered for years with
most every ailment of the stomach
that one can possibly have. My food
would not digest properly, and l felt
bloated all the time from the gas
that would form Immediately after
each meal. This condition upset me
so that I grew nervous, and was very
restless at nights.
II put myself on diet, thinking
that would probably help me, but it
did not seem to make much differ
ence.
Il finally saw Tanlac advertised,
and thought that would try one bot
tie at least, and now I am certainly
glad that l did, as it is the most re-
markable preparation on earth, in
my estimation, and I cannot say
enough for it. A trial is convinc-
ing"
Tanlac is sold in Monte Vista e1-
clusively by The Fuller Drug Co.

Colorado Couple is Happy Now

In little town in Colorado there
has happened a NEAR" miracle. A
man cured his wife of running
varicose ulcer and they are the hap
piest couple in the state. Four
boxes of Aliens Ulcerine Salve did
it. Name and address on applica-
tion.)
Aliens Ulcerine Salve is one of
the oldest remedies in America and
since 1869 has been known as the
only salve powerful enough to reach
chronic ulcers and old sores of long
standing. Because it is so powerful
it often heals burns and scalds with
out scar in a remarkably short time.
Aliens Ulcerine Salve heals from
the bottom up and draws out the
poisons. If applied on new cuts and
sores it heals in one-third the time
that common salves and liniments
take. Sold by E T. Whitehead Co.,
and other leading druggists.

Perform Operation On Soldiers Brain

Paris, March 23,-An operation
performed by DR.. Guepin, by which
part of a wounded soldiers brain

described before the Academy of
Sciences last night by DR.. A. LAYER

The soldier, DR.. Laveran said, was
taken to military hospital with a
penetrating wound in the occipitol
region Of the Uranium. Splinters
of bone caused abcesses in the left
cerebral hemisphere. These were
removed but fresh ones formed and
DR.. Guepin was obliged on two oc-
casions to remove a portion of the
brain which protruced from the
wound. This the petient lost at

RUSSIA STRIVES FOR GOAL
FIGHTING DESPERATELY IN Eff.
FORT TO GET THROUGH THE
CARPATHIANS.
Making Great Effort to Keep Back the
Invaders.-British Announce End
Of Submarine U-29.

London-The Russians have lost no
time since the fall of Phzyemsyl in at
tempting their drive in the Carpath-
ians to reach Hungary. In the var
ious mountain passes where already
thousands of men have fallen Russians
and Austrians are in another death
grip, the one army to force its way
through tie mountain passes, the 9TH
er to beat back the invaders. The
Russians are striking their best blow
on the SO-mile front between Bart
field and Ussok, and although the
operations are being carried on under
the most difficult conditions the claim
is made officially that they are de-
veloping with complete success
The nature of the fighting is sindi-
Gated by the fact that only are there
great snow drifts to contend against,
but the Russians have had to fight
their way through barbed-wire en-
tanglements, rows Of trenches and
works strongly fortified. In one of
these places, near Lupkow Pass, an
Austrian position, said by the Russian
War Office to be very important, was
carried by assault. Here the Rus
slams captured $500 men, 100 officers
and several dozens of machine guns,

sunk with all hands. More than or
binary interest attached to the U-29

sank three British cruisers in the

IT'S UP TO Mr.. VOTER NOW.

Scotland Neck expects every voter
to cast his ballot in the municipal
election the first week in May. We
want the center row removed from
Greenwood to GAINESVILLE. We want
the telephone and light poles, to-
gether with all other obstruction
removed from the center Of Main
street.
Summer with all It's dust will soon
be here; you remember the dust.
Well, something has got to be done
to healthify the town. You have
paid your town taxes. What bene-
fits do you get? Name one form Of
protection to you and your property
you get that the man living five
miles in the country does not get.
How about our police protection?
If the man violating the law happens
to be about three feet tall and weighs
only SO pounds, he will be arrested,
tried, convicted and fined. You
know what would happen if he was
otherwise physically endowed. With
our police on the job your vile
wouldn't pick a certain side Of the
street to walk down town on.
Every body knows there are hun
dred negro Migrants in this town
who ought to be put to work for
themselves or for the county. We
n. e men who will enforce our pres
ent laws rather than make new ones
that will be observedsin haphazard
way.
Think it over, Mr.. Voter. This is
the place you expect to pass the rest
Of your days. Shall it be a dusty,
dirty and unhealthy town that you
will always call your home town.?
Do you mean to say that you haven t
any town pride? Do you mean to
say that you will be careless to the
sanitation of the town that your
family lives in? With very little
expense we could have one of the
prettiest and healthiest towns in the
country.
The question is: Are you going
to cast your ballot for the men who
are going to improve Scotland Neck
or for the men who are willing tc
let conditions remain as they have
been?

One Sure Support in Time of Trouble

TN THESE days of great business
81 uncertainty the one sure support
q behind every man is his insurance
of every kind. 1t supports and
protects his property, relieves the
strain upon his mind and comforts
him with the reflection that if he
should die during the uncertainty
his family has provision made for it
and will tighten the shock of his
going and in many cases give them
support when even the business he
has built up goes to pieces. Of
course insurance must be paid for if
it is to be kept up and in times such
as the world has been having insur-
ance comes under consideration as
one of the things upon which econo-
my can be practiced. 1t can be; but
should it be? On property insur-
ance economy can be practiced as a
result of conditions. Stocks are
low, prices are down and with par
ticular care insurance can be re-
duced on property. But life insur-
ance should be maintained at all
hazards. 1t is the last subject for
economy in the family. There are
many luxuries and even comforts
that can and should be sacrificed in
order that the family protection re-
main unimpaired. The dayton
News recently contained an editorial
on the subject that was intended for
the man who reads newspapers, that
is the alert and intelligent men who
make up the body of every nation.
