May Bring Families Of
Officers to the Border

Mercedes, Texas, Sept. 2S.-Now
that the excitement attendant upon
pay day at the North Dakota camp
has subsidized, life for he boys has re-
sumed it's normal military condition.
There are the daily drills, of course,
and the regimental and battalion
problems which now take the place Of
the 12-mile hikes which were at first
on the daily schedule. One of the
hardest of the battalion "problems"
to solve, apparently, is the problem
of securing a tract of uncultivated
land large enough for the maneuvers.
Yesterday a battalion advanced upon
the enemy" through a cotton field
and the fact that the field was mass
of morning glories and weeds and
that there was no cotton to be seen
on the stalks, the owner having har
vested most of the crop, did not de-
ter the said owner from putting in
bill for several acres of damaged cot
ton. But that is the customary spirit
displayed here and nobody is interest
ed in saving Uncle Sam any money.
The idea is that the guardsmen are
one of the best crops the lower Rio
Grande has ever had, and the resi-
dents believe in making by while the
sun shines. A hundred farmers around
Mercedes have quit the slow methods
OF acquiring wealth through tilling
the soil and have purchased automo-
biles or Fords-mostly Fords-to
transport the soldiers wherever they
want to go. The Dakota boys, how
ever, are fortunate that they are
camped right on the edge of town,
and unlike the Nebraska, Indiana and
Minnesota troops at the big Llano
Grande camp, they do not have to pay
so cents to jitney driver every time
they want to come to town and back.
The separation of the Dakota troops
from the others mentioned also has
other advantages, particularly in a So
cial way. A number of officers are
contemplating bringing their families
here, providing it can be ascertained
how long the Dakota regiment will
remain on the border, and as there
is not a house in town to be rented
for any price, it is probable that a
tent colony for the families Of the
officers will be established. The win
tiers here are so mild, the thermom-
eter seldom registering freezing
weather, tent properly erected is
as comfortable as house could be in
Bismarck.

Past Hard Season
Killed Poor Strains
Thinks Prof. Bouey

Fargo, Sept. 28-Prof. II. l.. Bolley,
botanist of the agricultural college
and seed commissioner, says that the
rust and scab scourage this year in
North Dakota, has acted like great
tanning mill that has eliminated all
the most inferior strains and individ-
ual plants of wheat and he recon-
mends the farmers to make use of
the seeds they have grown on their
farms.
II have received from the secretary
of the crop Improvement committee of
Chicago the following question: what
do you think of this years shriveled
wheat for seed wheat next year? What
are you going to recommend for
North Dakota for 1917" said Prof.
H. L. Bolley this morning.
II have answered it essentially on
the following lines: Il intend to
recommend the individual farmers of
North Dakota, so. far as possible, to
make use Of the seed which they have
grown on their own farm, provided it
has not been badly injured by weather
conditions since harvest, and provided
they can grade out seed plump enough
to make a reasonably strong growth
of plants; for this years strenuous
rust and scab attack has acted like a
great tanning mill, eliminating all of
the most inferior strains and individ-
ual plants. When wheat is heavy
enough and has not been hurt by mois
ture and has been subject to rust and
disease attack l consider it much bet
ter seed for use than seed of consid-
erably heavier weight which has not
been subject to such attack. OF course
careful judgment must be made with
reference to each individual sample
Each should be tested for growth
power.
I'm this line we intend to make use
of the facilities offered by the pure
seed law and laboratory to aid the
farmers in every way we can to get
in touch with good seed and to aid
those that have good seed to get in
touch with those that need it, and
particularly to help the grower to de-
eide what is best to do with each par
ticular sample Of seed under consid-

Mr.. Hill was an investor in large
way and in many enterprises outside

in farm lands to any extent. Just why
he came to make this investment is
not clear, but the fact that apparently
this is the only piece Of prairie in the
state that Mr.. Hill invested in is of
interest,

Mr.. Dixon Says He Was
So Weak And NerV-
Gus He Couldn't
Write.
SUFFERED FOR YEARS
Says He Thinks Tanlac Is "Fin
est Remedy In World" To
Purify And Strengthen
Anyone.

Because the hardship he was forced
to endure during the four years he
was soldier for the United States
army during the War, Mr.. B. F. Dix.
on, of Converse, S. c., r. F. D. No. l,
surburb of Spartanburg, says, 10 a
statement given August /, that his
| health was undermined and that he
never really enjoyed good health after
| the war was ended.
Mr.. Dixon was wounded six times by
his then Southern enemies, several
times seriously. But his health now
is better than it has been in long
time, he says, and he gives Tanlac,
the master incidence credit for
bringing about the great change 10
his condition.
Mr.. Dixon took just two bottles, he
says, and he gained eleven pouncs.
His statement follows:
Il suffered particularly from stom.
ach trouble. l had almost completely
lost my appetite and I was just worn
down am 50 years Of age, and | had
lost so much strength that staggered
when | walked. Also I had lost con-
siderable weight and was very nerv-
Gus. My condition finally became so
bad and my nerves were so disturbed
that could not sleep we'll and | would
lie for hours in bed before l could get
TO sleep.
"Rheumatism also caused me consid-
cradle pain, and, besides these pains,
I suffered considerably with crampy
pains. MY nerves were so bad and
nv strength so little that could hard
ly write my name.
II had suffered with these troubles
for ycars-I don't know just how long.
Finally, heard about Tanlac aud be-
gan to read the advertisements, and
later decided to take it.
Il bought the first bottle and it did
not seem TO help me much. The rea-
son of that, know, was because l was
in such bad shape. But I had faith in
it and bought the second bottle, and
that was the bottle which gave me
wonderful results.
The relief the two bottles OF Tanlac
gave me was as follows: I gained II
pounds in weight, and that certainly is
lot for man of so wears to gain.
Tanlac relieved my sleeplessness and
l got to where l could sleep almost like
dead person. !; gave me a great ap-
petite aud I was soon eating three
squore meals day. 1t broke up my
stomach trouble and I gained a great
deal of strength. That shortnesS OF
breath left me, and my nerves were
1uieted and strengthened l do not
suffer with rheumatisn now either.
Il think Tanlac is the finest remedy
in the world 10 renoyate anyone'S Sys-
tenn and to build it up. Tanlac,iS good
there can't be any better, think.
am certainly glad to recommend Tan
lac, for it is an extraordinarily good
medicine, and I know from my exper-
ience that it is good for ali it is claim
ed to be. I have tried it and I know
what it will do. If ever need med
icine again. certainly will take more

The death angel visited the home OF
Mrs. c. L. Jenkins, of Fairfield county,
and taken the dear husband from their
midst. He had been in i'll health for
about nine months, and at last was
callep to that great beyond. All was
done that loving hands could do, but
nothing seemed Of any avail. His will
must be done
He leaves to mourn his loss, loving
wife and three children, Sarah aged
years; William aged 3 years, and little
girl days old. Also host of friends
and relatives who will greatly miss
him. He was laid to rest in the Monti-
cello cemetery.
Dearest brother thou hast left US,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
But It's God that has bereft US,
To His will we must surel yield.
Through all pains at times he'd smile,
\ smile Of heavenly birth.
Aud when the angels called him home,
He smiled farewell TO earth.
Heaven retalneth now our treasure,
Earth the lonely caSket keeps.
And the sunbeams love TO linger,
Where our sainted brother sleeps.
4 precious one from Us has gone,
A voice we loved is stilled,
\ place Is vacant in our home,
Which never can be filled.

The boon His love has given.
Though the body slumbers here,
The soul is safe in heaven.

One great trouble with US IS
| our wastefulness in our daily
Lives, in our homes, in our busl-
ness occupations. We have
never learned the lesson Of
economy. Money comes easy
with US, and it fees out just as
easily. Where other people in
other countries stop to count
the pennies. We only count the
dollars. If we as a people could
only acquire the habit OF syste
matically sliciug off a penny
here, another there. and keep 1t
up in every avenue of our exis-
euce, the American people in
the course Of a few years would
be literally rolling in wealth,
whereas now a majority of US
labor right up to the brink Of
the grave in order to live and
support our families in compar-
ative comfort. Any intelligent
person can make money in this
country, but only a wise one can
save it.

1t was but a comparatively y
few years ago when the whole
country was talking of the ''bll-
lion dollar congress. Now
two billion dollar congress"
has just closed and but little is
heard Of the enormous expendi-
lures. From this it would seem
that money is so plentiful in the
United States that even the CO.
lossul sum Of two billion dollars
is viewed with Indifference. AS
a matter of fact. money is plen
tiful in this country, but it is not
we'll proportioned as TO popula-
ton. We are rapidly approach
ing the European status of COL
lecting the wealth Of the nation
in the hands OF a comparatlV ely
few Of the people, while the
great mass are daily approach
ing nearer to a hand to mouth
existence. 1t is true thata GER
tain class of employees are well
paid, but it is equally true that
other classes of working people,
themselves quite necessary to
the existence of a well balanced
couatry, receive hardly enough
to keep soul aud body together.
Some day the congress Of the

act readjusting legislation, cur
tail the size of individual and
collective fortunes and incomes,
and see that the under dog has
at least a fighting chance to
live.
