BIG FIRE AT SACO.

Saco was visited last Saturday
forenoon by fire that caused many
thousand dollars in damages and
left a portion of the. town in ashes.
An explosion is given as the cause
of the fire which resulted from a
man trying to- fila gasoline sad
iron while it was burning. The fell
low filling the iron was a mute and
nothing has been heard or seen of
him since the fire and it is not
known whether he lost his life in
the fire or not. Several people were
badly burned in the fire and but for
the hard work of the fire depart
ment and the citizens of our sister
town there would be very little left
Of Saco today. Those who were the
heaviest l0osers are as follows:
e. T. Reimer, store building and
stock, loss about $500 with no in
surance. The Commercial hotel be-
longing to the Stevens estate, $4,000
with no insurance. A restaurant,
saloon building and building oc-
cupied by Mr.. Orvis as Fair store,
all belonging to the Stevens estate,
were burned to the ground with no
insurance. Mr. Orvis had insurance
on the stock of goods burned.
= w. B. Long was injured in a
strange manner, supposed to be from
a pistol shell being exploded by fire.
The ball entered the knee and is
giving him considerable trouble.

PHILLIPS COUNTY AT THE FAIR

The Phillips county exhibit at the
recent state fair attracted consider
able attention and for an infant
county must have showed up we'll
judging from the publicity given
the booth in the daily papers of the
capitol city. The following is taken
from Fridays Helena Independent:
Phillips county, which was Great
ed February 2 this year, has come
to the fair with a varied collection
of dry land products--the first time
the section has ever exhibited here.
The county for years was the
abode of the cattle men and lots of
people thought the country was
only good for livestock. migration
has changed that idea although
doubtless there are good many
old time ranchmen who can't see it
yet.
In charge of the exhibit is H. A.
johnson, the editor and publisher
of the Malta Enterprise. johnson is
convinced that he has cast his lot in
pleasant places and he is doing his
best to show the public that the in
FAINT county of Phillips is there and
over with both feet, or words to
that effect.
Anyway he has a goodly display
of wheat and other grains and what
is especially source of pride to
him is the exhibit of corn. There
are several varieties of it-white
and yellow dent, white and red flint
and "squaw" corn and some that
possibly Johnson doesn't know the
name of but he will give Won a
name If you ask him.
Yesterday it appeared as If Philips
county might clean up on prize corn
The alfalfa produced on dry land
looks mighty good, too, and so do
the vegetables. Next year Phillips
county will have rounded out it's
first birthday and will have new
tooth. Then, says Editor Johnson,
look out for a bite out of the big
prizes.

THE ASCENT OF GASOLINE.

Fifty-cent gasoline is a possibility
that is being limited by the oil men.
The price of crude oil is steadily ad-
vancing, and, according to an Okla
homa authority, quoted by the
washington Post, it may within a
year reach $3.50 a barrel for the
Oklahoma product and 81 for Penn
sylvania oil. The reason is attrib-
uted to the steady increase in the
number of automobiles. There are
more than 100000 now in use in
this country,and an average of 70O,-
600 are being turned out every year
One company manufactures nearly
SO per cent of the total number
The average consumption of gaso-
line for automobile use is two gal
Ions a day for each machine. This
would make total consumption
of 100000 gallons day. The use
of the fuel in launches, engines and
other machines will bring the total
daily consumption up to 100000
The daily output of crude petro-
leum is approximately 275,000 bar
rels, and at an average of 10 gallons
OF gasoline to the barrel, the pro-
duction of the latter each day is less
than 100000 gallons. Inasmuch
as we are now using nearly twice
that much each day, the reason for
the advance in price may easily be
seen. The large reserve supply of
crude petroleum has kept the price
down. Had it not been for the dis
covery of the Cushing oil fields two
years ago, it is probable gasoline
would have reached SO cents gal
lon long ago, for the Cushing fields
produce almost rs per cent of the
total.

THE FARMERS CAN USE
DEPARTMENT AGRICULTURE

y The farmer who wishes to secure
forthcoming publications of the
Department of Agriculture upon
particular subjects and availhimself
in this way of the results of it's in
vestigations should send a postal
card to the editor and chief of the
Division of Publications. United
States Department of Agriculture,
Washington, d. c., asking that his
name be placed upon the list to re-
ceive the Monthly List of Publica-
tions. This list contains the titles
OF all bulletins and reports issued
during the preceding month, with
brief descriptions of each publica-
ton and statement of it's object
and the region of the United States
to which it is adapted.
The number of copies of many of
the publications is limited by law.
and farmers who receive the Month
ly List should therefore apply only
for those which will be directly
helpful to them. AS long as the
supply available for distribution
lasts, copies of the bulletins may be
obtained free. When the available
supply is exhausted, copies may be
obtained from the superintendent of
documents, Government Printing
Office, and is authorized by law to
sedll Government documents. He
does not accept stamps and pay
ment should be made in postal ord
ers, currency or certified checks.
AS rule, however, the publica-
tions of more general interest, and
in particular the series known as
Farmers Bulletins, in which there
are now more than 900 titles, may
be obtained free from the Division
of Publications. Applications may
also be made for them to senators,
representatives and delegates in
Congress, to whom the law alots
four-fifths of the copies printed
each year. The Yearbook of the
department is also distributed by
members of congress from the allOt-
ments assigned them.
The Division of Publications is not
persons not connected with the de-
partment to be redistributed by
them. There is, moreover, no list
of persons to whom all publications
are sent as issued. The Monthly
hlSt Will Uc SellJ 10 anyone VINO
asks for it, and from this each indi-
vidual can select what he wishes. To
ask for a publication that is not
really wanted, however, is to run
the risk of depriving some one else
to whom it may be most useful.
In addition to distributing the
of the department, the
Division of Publications is a con-
venient source of information in re-
gard to other agricultural literature
The division welcomes requests for
issued by any branch
of the government. by the agricul-
tural colleges, and by the expert
ment stations. These requests are
answered fully, the correspondent
being advised as to where and to
whom he should apply. A complete
subject index, which records even
a single mention of subject in
publication dealing principally with
other topics, of all the publications
of the department is maintained by
the division and should be found
useful by authors and investigators.

TO MAKE STUDY OF THE
NORTHWEST APPLE CROP.

Complying with numerous re-
quests from the growers councils
chambers of commerce, growers
and shippers organizations in the
states of Washington, Oregon, Ida
no, mad Montana, the Office of Mar
kets and Rural Organization of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture has made plans to establish
temporary headquarters in the
northwest for the study of the dis
tribution of the 1915 boxed apple
crop.
The plan as outlined is based on
assurance that the Office of Markets
and Rural Organization will receive
the cooperation of all those inte-
rested in the apple industry, for
without this cooperation the efforts
OF the Office would not produce val
liable results.
1t is probable that the field head
quarters for this work will be in
Spokane, because of the accessible
ity of that point to the apple terri
tory in the northwestern states.
The work which the Office will do
is not that of a Geographic market
news service, but rather contem-
plates the collection by mail and the
compilation of data and issuance of
weekly bulletins concerning ship
ments and destination of the north
western boxed apples. In this con-
nection similar work will be carried
on to a certain extent in the apple
sections of Colorado, Utah and CAL
ifOrnia.

THE AMERICAN TETTRAZINI

Leeta Lynn Corder, who is the So

SUFFERS BROKEN ARM.

James Hall had the misfortune
Monday to have his arm broken
above the elbow yhile assisting in
the corral here. It seems as though
the rope had been thrown over a
horse and the animal had broken
away from those handling him. In
trying to reach for the rope some
one else got it first when the horse
jumped sideways knocking Jim
down and breaking his arm. DR..
Cherry was called and with the as
sistance of DR.. Minnick the arm was
reset and Jim is recovering rapidly
although it will take some time for
the injured member to heal.-Saco

GETS REAL HELP
Rev. J. Powell Tells How He Found
New Strength to Give to
His Labors.

Rev. ]. Powell Of Statesboro, Ga,
suffered from stomach troubles so Sc
riously that they affected his wrk.
He struggled on under the handicap
as best he could-hardly realizing,
perhaps, just how much his sickness
was hurting him.
One day he learned of Mayr's Won
derful Remedy. He took the first
dose-then decided to take the full
treatment. He wrote:
"Since using the six bottles of your
wonderful remedy / feel like another
man. It has been quite wonder to
me to know how one could have a
stomach disease like mine and live
and do the work I did. / just escaped
the operating table.
"Now / can eat what ! please and
it doesn't hurt me night or day."
Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives
permanent results for stomach, liver
and intestinal ailments. Eat as mush
and whatever you like. No more dis
tress after eating, pressure of gas in
the stomach and around the heart.
Get one bottle of your druggist now
and try it on an absolute guarantee
if not satisfactory money will be re-
turned. ADV
