READERS NAME BIGGEST FAKE
WHATS YOUR IDEA?

Well! Well! Well! They are coming
in with their guesses on what is the
greatest fake in Chicago. Everybody
is going to learn a little before we
get through with this.
Besides the candidates mentioned
yesterday, several new ones are
named in letters to The Day Book
today. Answering the question,
what is the Greatest Fake in Chi
cago?" these are among the first bal
lots in the preferential voting:
w. H. Lathrop, 1913 S. Wood St,
sends in the following:
1-Partisan politics in municipal
elections.
2-MunicipaI Voters league.
3-The ads of the loop stores in
the evening papers Cthe bargains are
no cheaper than those in the other
local stores, besides you pay more in
time and carfare).

WOOL PRICES ARE SOARING
T~wenty-eight Cents Being Paid For
Medium CIips-AustraIian Wool
Business DemoraIized.

Helena.-Stockholders of the Nation
al Wool Warehouse and Storage com
pany in Helena received advices by
telegraph that wool buyers were pay
ing 20 cents for eastern Idaho medium
clips and there is every prospect for
higher prices for wool.
Not only are the sheep starving to
death in Australia by the thousand,
but their lambing has been a failure
and the wool business in the greatest
wool growing continent on earth is
demoralized.
"The London market is stronger
with Russia and France buying heavi-
ly in the London markets" advises the
warehouse company. America is get
ting little of the wool being offered
in England, while the sinking of the
Lusitania will make importations
much more difficult and expensive,
Boston now realizes that cheap wool
cannot be obtained anywhere"
Papers received from Australia
would seem to more than confirm the
opinions of the officers of the Wool
Warehouse and Storage company.
These papers state that millions of
sheep are dying and practically all the
lambs are being lost. Cattle and horses
are also dying by the hundreds of
thousands. The drought is the worst
ever known.

HORSES ARE EATEN IN FRANCE.
Buyer for Government Says Wounded
Animals Are Killed and Served
to Soldiers.

MISUNDERSTANDING horses wounded
on the battlefield of Europe are killed
by the commissary department and
used for food, especially by French
soldiers, according to a statement
made by a buyer for the French gov
ernment to j. M. Kennedy.
1t Is estimated that Montana alone
has shipped out $4,000 head of horses
to be used for cavalry and artillery
purposes in the war. Since the Eng
lish government has closed up the
ports of Germany by an effective
blockade, the greater number of these
mounts have been shipped to France
or England. Market reports from
Miles City, Kalispel and other points
in Montana would seem to indicate
that a greater number of agents of
France have entered Montana to pur-
chase western cayuses which are con-
sidered best for the purpose of war.
In conversation with a French buyer
a few days ago, Mr.. Kennedy was in
formed that the state had been thor
oughly combed several months ago for
the best horses. At the beginning of
the war, horse buyers desired only a
certain standard of mounts. They
were required to be a certain height
and weight, sound in body and with
good wind.

EXCELLENT FARMING
CONDITIONS IN CANADA
Letters from Settlers Indicating
Growing Prosperity.

The present year will add another
proof that farming in Western Canada,
When carried on with the same energy
and system devoted to other lines of
business, will bring about results fully
rs satisfactory.
Mixed farming as n tocsin has been
sounded for a number of years, and
today it is being adopted pretty gen.
orally throughout the Provinces of
Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
There are those who have made no
greater success of it than they did
when they pursued grain growing
alone, but where one has failed to &C.
complish what he had hoped to do,
dozens have scored success.
From Sedgewick, Alberta, we hear of
e. l.. Deputy, for past twelve years
manager for Frye G Sons, packers,
Seattle, who during 1914 were the
largest buyers of hogs on Alberta
markets. He is taking up active work
on his 1,200-acre farm near Sedge-
wick. Although he was one of the
highest paid salaried officials on the
Paclhc Coast, his frequent visits and
personal knowledge of farming condi-
lions in Western Canada convinced
him there are greater opportunities in
farming Alberta land than in CONNER
cial life, with greater assurance of
ultimate independence and prospects
of home-making under the most de-
sirable conditions
Thomas Mckay, a farmer near Har-
disty, Alberta, has this to say about
the country:
Il came to Hardisty from Usage
City, Kansas, nine years ago and took
up a homestead here. This is a good
district for the farmer who wishes to
raise grain exclusively. and as a mixed
farming country it cannot be beaten
anywhere in the world to my knowl.

they were fat enough for the market,

raised some winter wheat here which
weighed sixty-seven and a half pounds
to theb ushel, government weight, and
which shipped to Calgary. The mil
Ter who bought it said that it was the
best wheat that had ever gone into
Calgary. Wheat in this district yields
as high as forty bushels to the acre.

LIGHT More Beneficial Than Heal


When rays of light fall upon the
skin of u bodies, which is translu-
cent, the greater part of them are ar
rested some by one layer of the skin,
some by another and still others are
not stopped until they have penetrated
the simultaneous tissues. This arrest
of the light rays produces radiant
heat, which has a higher penetrating
power than convection heat as gene
rated by a hot water bag or poultice,
for instance.
e. c. Titus in an address before the
Illuminating Engineering society. said
that such heat penetrated two inches.
or more, while convection heat was, ex-
cited principally on the surface.
This is why electric light baths and
sun baths are SO stimulating to the or
gans of elimination, especially the skin
and kidneys. and so beneficial in so
many diseases.

General Miles sat for a half hour and

without a moments hesitation his ini-

the capture of the Nez Perces near
Bear Paw mountains when Chief JOS
eph surrendered to him in 1878 and
his fight with the Bannock Indians

reservation in Idaho in 1879.

Acting Governor of Montana Says Uni

of Present War.

Heena.-With the United States fac

country in a thousand years, it would
be committing industrial suicide to

was acting chief executive during the
absence of Governor Stewart in Seattle.
Governor Mcdowell, who came to
Helena to preside at a hearing with
reference to the extradition of w. c.
Shredder, declared that in his belief
President Wilson had done exactly
right in keeping this nation out of
the European war, and he believes the
country is behind the president in his
attitude.
However, the governor had a few re-
marks to make about American passen-
gers who had been given a sound
warning that the Lusitania had been
picked as a target for a torpedo of a
German submarine, and yet, needless
of the warning, they had taken pas
sage in the liner.
