St. Joseph Lady Tries Vap-O-
Rub Now Doesn't Like
to be Without II.

This is one of a series of one hundred
advertisements, each ad embodyina
letters from different Missouri Wom-
en- from all over the State. Last win
ter, in order to try out this new
preparation, each lady was given, by
her druagiet, complimentary jar
Of Vap-O-Rub, on condition that Il
be given a thorough trial. These
letters are their reports. We will
pay the sum of $4,000 to any person
proving that any of these letters are
not genuine.
Mrs. Sam House, 1906 Prospect
Ave, st. Joseph, Mo-, has a message
for all those mothers whose little folks
catch cold easily. or are subject to
croupy spells. G. ]. Schenecker &
Co, Druggists, sent Mrs. House q
complimentary jar of Vap-O-Rub last
winter, with the request that she
give it thorough trial. Mrs. House
reports as follows:
MY little daughter had Diphthe-

cold she takes settles in her throat.

join his band in the first place. This
means about one hundred accounted
for in the march of the expeditionary
forces.
In addition about $50 others were
scattered over the mountains of this
section by the fight at Guerrero. One
of the evidences of the effectiveness
with which they have been scattered,
is numerous reports about the hiding
places of Villa forces now coming to
military authorities. Some of them
are absurd.
One from an apparently high
authority named this headquarter
camp positively as Villas hiding ulace.
There is no place for anyone to hide
here, not even a tent, and the Mexi-
can population is so small that i can
all be counted in five minutes.
Don't Trust Natives.
A few of the reports probably are
spread by Villa sympathizers in an at
tempt to mislead the army, but the
military authorities are not relying on
native information. Instead. they are
developing their own intelligence
service, realizing that this may be a
long hunt.
More cavalry, infantry and supplies
are on the way along the $50 mile line
which the army has penetrated into
Mexican territory to date. The ex-
pedition still is driving with the same
speed as at the start, across the bor-
der. through now in a more routine

days work to a familiar system The
problem is make this system cover as
wide a field daily as possible and to
keep pushing all the time.

 The Nome Fire Department re- sponded at two o'clock yesterday morning to a fire which started in the cabin of William Dougherty back of the telephone office. The blaze was extinguished with the aid of the chemical after much of the interior was damaged. The most serious part of the fire is the fact that Dougherty when trying himself to control the blaze before it got too much headway sustained very ugly burns on one of his hands. The fire originated in the accidental overturning of kerosene lamp.

 The owners of the passenger mosquito boats have been in state of consternation by a ruling of the Department of Commerce Inspection Bureau which decreed that on and after September 1 ) they would have to carry sufficient life boats of ap- proved design for all passenger car ried by them. This would mean that under the present equipment, the boats could not carry more than five or six passengers after the above date. The local inspectors had no option but to see that this ruling was enforced. Both the owners of the Silver Wave and of the Arctic took up the matter with the Bureau in Washington and representations were made that it would be imposs- ible to secure the requisite equip ment elsewhere than from Seattle and that the traffic would only be carried on in any event at heavy loss for the rest of the season. Meantime, the owners were On the anxious seat, and it was known to but very few outside the press that there was the possibility of the both motorships being laid off the run temporarily. However as the publi- cation of the information would be premature until answers to the telegrams had been received from Washington, the news was withheld. The answers in both the case of the Arctic and the Silver Wave were identical and the both ships are en- powered to operate under the same conditions as the 1915 inspection | passed until the end of the season.

STOCK MARKET.

Kansas City Stock Yards, June 10,
Arrivals of cattle today were much
larger than expected and the market
had a decidedly weaker tendency ex-
cept for strictly dry lot steers, and
few in that class we're offered. The
days trade added nothing new in the
general tendency in the market as the
price movement is increasing the
spread in quotations, by maintaining
high record levels for the dry lot
steers, and the half fat, especially
thos cattle that have made weight
gains on grass. are lower. The ex-
tremes in te market today we're
steady to fifteen cents lower, mostly
ten cents off. The fat steers here
today came from wide area, Texas
sending in lieral SUPPLIES from below
the quarintine line. A train load OF
steers came from Arizona. oklahO-
ma, Colorado and Nebraska were
fairly well represented and Kansas
had a good many wintered, grass-fat
steers here today. The range IN
prices was $3.50 20 $10.75, mostly
1926 to $IO.25. The lowest priced
steers were on the quarantine side.
Cows and heifers we're in limited sup
ply and mostly steady in price. De-
mand for stockers and feeders was
active and prices for stockers was
stronger. Receipts were limited.
Most of the good stockers sold at
$3.50 to IS, and feeders up to $3.50,

ing tax warrants issued by the State
auditor for the collection OF gross
production tax on Usage production.
The loss OF the gross production
tax from Indian restricted leases may
amount to nearly forty per cent OF
the total gross production tax esti-
mated to be received under the pres
ent act, which was placed at over
three million dollars, two-thirds OF
which would go to the support Of the
state government. Gross production
tax on commercial leases has also
been protested, but the resistance to
the payment of this tax Is not strong
at this time.
The State levy will undoubtedly be
reduced, even with the loss of gross
production tax form restricted Indian
leases, since the tax under the new
law will undoubtedly exceed that col
lected under the two per cent produc-
tion tax last year, while indirect rev
enues from all other sources are run

and an increased valuation is as
