MUCH WOOL IN UNITED STATES

Belief that drop in the price of
wool will result when the great con-
flict in Europe comes to an end, is
held forth by an authority in the
Commercial Bulletin, publication
printed in Boston, in which statistics
are given showing that at the present
time there is a greater amount of
unsold wool in this country than there
was a year ago. The decrease from
the present high prices, however, will
amount to but little and continued
high prices are expected for a number
of years to come.
The writer declares that the pur-
chasing power of the various belliger-
ent countries at the close of the war
must be taken into consideration. 1t
is expected that both Germany and
Austria will come into the market for
large quantities of wool, but the
amount of the product being held by
German houses in South America and
elsewhere should be considered.
The total supply of domestic wool
in the United States is placed at &c.
188,467, as against 54,347,785 pounds
one year ago, 64,4s2,155 pounds on
January /, 1914, 66,457,818 pounds in
1918; l06,123,00o pounds in 1912;
l42,575,200 pounds in 1911, and 82,-
841,457 pounds in 1910.
The supply of foreign wool unsold
in the United States at the beginning
of the year was 12,903,962 pounds,
compared with 5,357,973 pounds a
year ago, and 28,55o,O94 pounds two
years ago.
The total supply of all kinds of un-
sold wool in this country is, therefore,
1O2,092, ,429 pounds, as against 59,-

RECORD YIELD OF LAND.

One hundred and twenty-five BUSH
els of oats to the acre, and 80 bushels
of barley to the acre on unirrigated
land is the remarkable record made
by the Montana experiment station
upon it's experiment farm near Mis-
soula, Fergus county, as reported by
Professor Atkinson, station argrono-
mist, who has just visited the farm.
The oats were 60-day variety and the
average of 125 bushels was reached
upon tract of IL acres. The barley
was the White Smyrna variety, and
this average was also reached on a
tract of several acres.

BEST HOGS TO FEED

For fattening select pigs weighing
from 130 to $50 pounds and in good
condition. They should be fattened
for at least sixty days and perhaps
seventy-five, if it requires so long to
bring them up to weight of 18O to
200 pounds. This is the most desir-
able weight at which to put hogs on
the market and animals of this
weight in good condition will bring
top prices.

sus of April Is, 1910.
The total number Of sheep in the

amounts to 633, 1877 ,658, of which
North America contains 53,796,35
a smaller number than either South
America, Europe, Asia, Africa or

a Busy Oil Area.

Healdton field is busy. There is
not an idle contractor or an idle rig
builder. The winter months held back
operations to some extent, but the
weather has become more like spring
and the field is a busy scene Oil
producers throughout the state are
in better shape now than they have
teen for some time. Oil has been
selling at an advanced price for some
time, and all of the production is be
ing taken. A pool of 10000 barrels
would not affect the price now as it
would have done a year ago. Produc-
ers have learned that oil storage saves
the price, and they have more money
now to build storage than ever be-
fore. Flooding pipe lines is a bad
way to sell oil 1t results in lower
ing prices and ruins profits. While
the price may not climb much higher
than it is now, yet there is small
chance that it will go lower.
Healdton oil is not selling FOR It's
fair value as compared with Gushing
end other oils in the state, but more
buyers are getting in the field and
the prospects are that Healdton prices
will go higher this spring. The re-
inery always makes the price better.
The more refineries field can get
the better the price will be, and the
more liberal the loans will be for de-
velopment purposes. The Healdton
field is attractive for the reason that
wells here cost about one-third of
what they do in the Cushing district
and the production is almost the
same. 4 well at Healdton will pay
cut much quicker and the producer
in the southern fields gets to velvet
much earlier than in the other fields

MEAT INJURIOUS
To THE KIDNEYS
Take Tablespoonful of salts
il Back hurts or Bladder
bothers.

We are a nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid,
says a well known authority, who
warns us to be constantly on guard
to guard against kidney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to
free the blood of this irritating acid,
but become weak from the overwork;
they get sluggish: the eliminative tis-
sues clog and thus the waste is re
tanned in the blood to poison the en-
tire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead and you have
singing pains in the back or the
urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or
the bladder is irritable, obiiging you
to seek relief during the night;
when you have severe headaches, ner-
vous and dizzy spells, sleeplessness,
acid stomach or rheumatism in bad
weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast each morning and in
few days your kidneys will act
fine. This famous salts is made from
the acid of grapes and lemon juice,
combined with lithia, and has been
used for generations to flush and
stimulate clogged Kidneys, to neutral
ize the acids in urine so It is no
longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure: makes a delightful efferyes-
cent lithia-water drink, and nobody
can make a mistake by taking little
occasionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.

HAVE ROSY CHEEKS
AND FEEL FRESH AS
A DAISY-TRY THIS!
Says glass of hot water with
phosphate before breakfast
washes out poisons.

To see the tinge of healthy bloom
in your face, to see your skin get
clearer and clearer, to wake up with
out a headache, backache, coated
tongue or a nasty breath, in fact to
feel your best, just try inside-bathing
every morning for one week.
Before breakfast each day, drink a
glass of real hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it
as a harmless means of washing from
the stomach, liver, kidneys and bow
els the previous days indigesuble
waste. sour bile and toxins; thus
cleansing, sweetening and purifying
the entire alimentary canal before
putting more food into the stomach.
The action of hot water and limestone
phosphate on an empty stomach is
wonderfully inyigorating. 1t cleans
out all the sour lamentations, gases
and acidity and gives one a splendid
appetite for breakfast.
A quarter pound Of limestone phos-
phate will cost very little at the drug
store but is sufficient to demonstrate
that Just as soap and hot water clean
ses sweetens and freshens the skin,
so hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the blood and internal organs.
Those who are subject to constipa'
tion. bilious attacks, acid stomach
rheumatic twinges, also those whose
skin is sallow and complexion pallid,
are assured that one week of inside
bathing will have them both looking
and feeling better in every way.
