BUSINESS ACTIVITY UP MIDDLE
FORK.

A trip up the Middle Fork of the
Clearwater river will make anyone
ask why the vast timber resources of
that region have lain so long unmo-
Tested. The answer to the question
seems to lie In the simple fact the
poor man could not command the cap
ital to cope with the situation and
the corporations await the develop
ment of most propitious opportunities.
From the present activities of the
Kerr pole company and the Rawson-
Works company and the possibilities
that railways win in the near future
extend their lines into and through
this section are indications that big
concerns will take advantage of the
opportunities that have long existed.
Billions OF feet of pine, cedar and
other good timber is available along
the Middle Fork and its many tribu-
taries. The timber, however, is by
no means the only resource. 1t is a
good stock country and the soil is of
the highest productive character for
grain, grasses, vegetables and fruit,
which fact has been proven by the
many settlers who have been in this
section for many years. The climate
cannot be surpassed, better water does
not spring from the earth anywhere
ON the globe, and pen picture of the
magnificent scenery, the enchanting
views and eyer-changing panorama as
the winds of the beautiful river are
followed, gives but poor conception
of the wonderful works of nature to
be seen along the stream. AT the
head of the development of this won
derful section stands the forestry de-
partment, who, are using the vast
power OF the department to the up
building Of this country in the way
of constructing reads, trails and fer
ries that the settler may not be han
dicapped as Is the case in most of
new countries. -Kooskia Mountaineer.

RELIGION CHANGED THEM.
Ancestors May Have Gnawed Bones,
DIR. Agar Tells Aggies.

Manhattan, Kan, April 25.-In pro-
noting foreign missions, civilized ma
tons are only returning the favors ex-
tended to their ancestors by some
civilized race in the past. asserted DR.
Frederick A. Agar of New York, a
former missionary in Africa, who
spoke to the students of the Kansas
State Agricultural college on THE
Darkest Side of Sunny Africa"
Before the dawn of Christianity
your ancestors may have been gnaw-
ing bones" the students were told
Religion worked a wonderful change
in them, and it will do the same with
the uncivilized nations of today.
Civilization is merely protecting
itself in extending aid to non Christian
nations. Civilization through moral
and religious teachings is the only way
to solve the problem of the human
race. China and Africa are undergo
ing an awakening and it is important
that religion play the principal part
in that awakening"

HORSE BUSINESS TO BOOM.
America Must Produce Superior AMI
mails to Profit After War.

Manhattan, Kan, April 25.-Amer-
lea will reap large permanent rewards
in the horse business at the end of the
war only if she produces superior
animals, according to Edward N.
Wentworth, professor of animal breed
ing in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
Horse breeders in general, Mr..
Wentworth points out, look to the
present war as a means of establish
ing the horse breeding industry of the
United States on a par with that of
Europe. They observe that price of
horses has risen significantly during
the period of each great war in the
last two decades and has never drop
ped back to its former level following
the conclusion of peace.
Moreover, they figure the principal
theater of the war on the western
front has been in the heart of Europe
draft breeding district and the blow
has been so tremendous that not only
will it be years before Europe can
produce her own draft breeding stock
but she will be forced to call upon
America to supply part of the stock,
whenever peace is declared. The in
terval while the European breeding
industry is at a standstill will permit
the American breeder to catch up
with European competitors

SIMPLE WAY TO GET
RID OF BLACKHEADS

There is one simple, safe and sure way
that never fails to get rid of blackheads
and that is to dissolve them.
To do this get about two ounces of plain
powdered neroxin from any drug store
sprinkle little a hot. wet sponge-rub
over the blackheads briskly-wash the parts
and you will be surprised how the black
heads have disapp, red Big blackheads,
little blsckheads. no matter where they are,
simply dissolve and disappear, leaving the
parts without any mark whatever. Black
heads are simply d mixture of dust and
dirt and secretions from the body that
form in the pores Of the skin. Pinching and
squeezing only cause irritation. make large
pores and do not get them out after they
become hard. The powdered neroxin and
the water simply dissolves the blackheads so
they wash right out leaving the pores free
and clean and in their natural condition.
Anyone troubled with these unsightly
bleinishes should certainly try this simple

he did call it. Yet, on April 23rd,
just as the battle closed, he announc-
ed that he had mot abandoned his
Watchful Waiting policy"
He sent an army of ten thousand
men to Vera Cruz to obtain a salute
for the flag and to prevent the ship
ment of arms to Mexico; he did not
get the salute to the flag; he ordered
battle to be fought in which some
four hundred men were killed and
wounded, and on November %, 1914,
he evacuated Vera Cruz, but he took
away $1,OOO,0O0 of custom dues col
lected during the occupation. He had
lost honor: he had spilled blood; he
had been defeated in his purpose;
but he had collected some dollars.
The Baltimore platform, upon which
Mr.. Wilson was elected, pledged him
to the policy that every American
citizen residing or having property in
any foreign country is entitled to, and
must be given, the full protection of
the United States government, both
for himself and his property"
On August %, 1918, the President,
through the Secretary of State. warn
ed the Mexicans that IF any violence
| is visited upon any American citizen
| by any one claiming civil or military
authority, this country will hold per-
sonally responsible the perpetrators
thereof
Yet again and again afterwards he
urged all Americans to leave Mexico,
and never took one smallest step to
protect them from violence or to call
to account those guilty of violence to
them.
On January 26, 1914, through his
| Secretary of State, he said that the
| interests of all American citizens
would be protected everywhere in
Mexico, as elsewhere. But not the
slightest protection was actually Civ
en-.
President Wilson has never inter-
| justice in Mexico or to protect the
lives and property of Americans
against all wrongdoers. He boasts
that he has kept us out of war with
Mexico" AS matter of fact, he has
| twice brought US into war waged in
| the interests of certain chiefs of ban
| ditti against some other chief, to
whom at the moment Mr.. Wilson OBJ

Cruz in the interests of Villa and
Carranza He permitted the furn-
ishing to Villa of the arms which
Villa has used against us. A year
ago, through General Scott, he con-
| cluded what was in effect treaty of
peace and friendship with this same
| General Villa. He did not defend
our own people against Villa. Now,
| in the interests of General Carranza,
he has sent a force into Mexico to
cooperate with the Carranzista ban

in the raids against US, against their

BUY SHERMAN COUNTY LAND.
Many Big Farms Being Taken by
Smith County People.

Kensington, Kan, April 25.-Smith
county is doing her share in the de-
veIopment and settlement of Sherman
county DIR. L. A. Golden, of this
town, has invested in not less than
$4,000 acres of northwestern Kansas
lands The big spart of it Is in Sher-
man county. He has so much con-
fidence in that part of the state that
he is still buying lands in Sherman
county.
The Peter Pyle & Son real estate
agency of Kensington, who is work
ing in conjunction with the T. V. Lowe
Realty company of Goodland, in the
last sixty days have sold about 5000
acres of Sherman county lands to
Samuel Norton, E. c. Warner and
Henry Dieckhoff, Smith county farm
ers besides Mrs. Ruth G.. Ahlborn.
president of the First National bank
of Kensington, has also made large
purchase of farming lands in that
county.
There seems to be a reason for this.
Sherman county lands where these
people have bought is worth from SIS
to $25 an acre, while Smith county
land is held from $50 to SIS per acre.
People of smaller means are going
farther west, and Sherman county is
catching her share of travel.

LARGE CRIMINAL DOCKET.
Two Oklahoma BoOtIeggers Convicted
at Richfield, Kan.

Richfield, Kan, April 25.-When
Judge Downer opened up the April
term of court in Morton county he
was confronted with one of the largest
criminal docket since the early days in
western Kansas. There were ten GRIM
inal cases on the docket and most of
the parties were charged with the vio-
lation of the prohibitory law.
William Westmoreland, a confirmed
bootlegger, who was run out of the
state of Oklahoma for violating the
prohibitory law of that state was
found guilty on two counts and SEN
fenced the maximum fine and jail
sentence. VIM. J. Tudor another Ok

SWEET TRIAL AT SYRACUSE.
Change of Venue Granted in Nellie
Byers Murder Case.

Hutchinson, Kan, April 25.-The
Archie Sweet trial will be held at
Syracuse on May %. Information to
this effect was received in a letter
from County Attorney H. W. Stubs of
Grant county.
1t had first been thought Sweet
would be tried at New Ulysses, the
county seat of Grant county, where
the crime was committed. Later plans
were made for a change of venue to
Dodge City, which is in another judi
cial district.
Judge George J. Downer is the
judge of the judicial district where the
crime was committed, and he lives at
Syracuse, where the case has been set
for trial. The trial of Archie Sweet
promises to be a spectacular one. The
youth is charged with the outrage and
murder of Nellie Byers, a school teach
er, who was waylaid, and whose nude
body was found hidden in a ravine.

BIG FACTOR in WAR
Kansas Salt Fields Valuable for

Lawrence, Kan, April 25.-That

ure largely in all future conflicts.
TT is a diabolical method" said
Prof. Whitaker today, but really is no
worse than clubbing an enemy to
death with rifle butt or running him
through with a bayonet The major
ity of the people in this country appar-
emily believe that Germany is the only
nation to employ such methods, but as
a matter of fact they are all doing it.
Furthermore there isn't a nation in
Europe that would not give a kings
ransom for the salt productions of
Kansas these days.
Biproduct of Salt.
LAS far as we have been able to
learn, the vapor being employed in
Europe is chlorine, the deadly bipro-
duct of salt. Reports speak of low
hanging and yellowish gas clouds on
the battlefields and chlorine would
bring about such a condition. Consid-
of salt production of the United
States and really stands first in the
matter of actual deposits, the state
would be a big factor in the present
war If any of the conflicting nations
could control the industry here"
Prof Whitaker will make an ex-
haustive report to the advisory board
on salt in Kansas indicating that the
use of poisonous gases in the present
conflict abroad has caused the present
investigation in the United States
along similar lines.
