War Upon Pain.

Pain is a visitor to every home and
usually it comes quite Unexpectedly.
But you are prepared for every emer.
gency if you keep a small bottle OF
Sloan's Liniment handy. 1t is the
greatest pain killer ever discovered.
Simply laid on the skin-no rubbing
required-it drives the pain away.
It is really wonderful.
Mervin H. Soister, Berkeley, CAL,
writes: Last Saturday, after tramp
ing around the Panama Exposition
with wet feet, l came home with my
neck so stiff that couldn't turn. ap-
piled Sloan's Liniment freely ana
went to bed. To my surprise, next
morning the stiffness had almost dis.
appeared, four hours after the second
application I was good as new.

Mrs. James Goldman.

A beautiful life, beautiful christian
character, beautiful influence, has
gone to rest, not dead, no not dead,
just separation.
Catherine Masters Hawkins Bold
man was born near Portsmouth,
Ohio, Nov. 10, 1874, and passed away
at Davis City, Iowa, Wednesday, Jan.
26, 1916, at $50 a. NJ, aged Y
years, 2 months and days.
She was married to Hamilton
Hankins, June 8, 1862; at her faith
er's house in Ohio, where she was
born.
To this union were born II chill
dren, ten of whom survive her. The
eldest died at Moore's Station, Cali
fornia, Oct 20, 1882, Josie Feb. 20,
1884, at Wakefield, Ohio.
Mrs. Hankins was married to
James Goldman, Nov. 6, 1902, in
Ohio, after which they moved to Da-
Wis City, where they have since made
their home.
She leaves to mourn her loss, hus-
band, five daughters, five sons, six
grandchildren and host of relatives
and friends.
In her childhood she united with
the Methodist church and was bap-
tized. She lived a faithful consistent
christian life.
She knew Him in Whom she had
believed and was persuaded that He
was able to keep that which she had
committed unto Him against that day.
She was most kind and affectionate
mother. She had been in poor health
for some time, but when able was
always ready to do something for
others. She was given the best OF
care. Everything that loving hands
and kind friends could 20 for her was
done.
Her sweet modest christian char
acter was an inspiration to those
with whom she mingled. She could
have said with Paul, Il have fought
good fight. Henceforth there is
laid up for me a crown of righteous
ness, the Lord, the Righteous Judge
shall give me at that day.
All that remains OF this beautiful
body will be taken by her children
to their home in Springfield, Illinois,
and lie there until she is placed in
mausoleum.
Funeral services were held at the
Methodist church at Davis City Satur-
day at 2 o'clock, conducted by Rev.
Lyle. The pail bearers were John
Tharp, Earl Scott, Alfred Cummings
and Curtis Burrell.
Among the beautiful floral Offer
ings sent in by friends and relatives
was a pillow of the most beautiful de-
sign imaginable, given by the chill
dren present, beautiful wreath from
the two children in Ohio, who were
unable to come, beautiful flowers
from the Elk lodge, of which her son
Louis is member and floral remem-
brances from her many friends in Da-
Wis City.
The body was taken back to the
house after the funeral and kept
there until taken to the train at 8
o'clock, when it was shipped to
Springfield.

GENTLE-BUT SURE

A powerful cathartic sometimes
does as much harm as good. Foley
Cathartic Tablets are mild and gem
tie, but sure in action. They are a
wholesome physic that thoroughly
eleanses the bowels, sweeten the
stomach and benefit the liver. For
indigestion, biliousness, bad breath,
bloating, gas or constipation, no REM
edy is more highly recommended.
They cause no gripping, pain or nau-
sea. Stout persons recommend them
because of the light feeling they
bring. - S. G. Wall. Durango Drug

TWO DOLLAR WHEAT
IS PREDICTED FOR JAN. /.

CHICAGO. Oct. 5.-Two dollar
wheat before January 1st. is predict
ed by the grain men. Small crop,
discouraging conditions in Argentine,
the demand of the allies for Austral-
ian and Canadian wheat are pointed
out among the factors that cause
the high prices.
1t is stated today that the north
west has practically no seed wheat,
and that good seed is selling at four
and five dollars 6 bushel.
The dealers say the Northwestern
farmers are adhering to the decision
not to sell their crop below two dol
lars, and the receipts from the other
points are very light. Flour contin-

part toward maintaining the present
era of prosperity
o. b. Colson. who lives four miles
east OF the city. came to town today
with a bale of cotton which weighed
654 pounds. 1t was purchased by
Westheimer a Daube for 20 cents per
pound, which netted the above figure.
The seed at prevailing prices today
from the bale netted him the quota
ton above which makes it rather prof
table to raise cotton-sometimes.
The progressive land owner and
renter in this section of the country
are getting along ber,er every year.
The renter has been encouraged to
raise most Of what the family CON
sumes and the thrifty ones will soon
be land owners themselves. In fact,
the deirable tenants all over the coun-
ty are rapidly acquiring small farms
and are among the most progressive
agriculturalists. Cotton was selling on
the streets today from 1915 to 20
cents. with most OF it bringing the
latter figure. Quite a lot was offered
and it seems that the country still
has a lot of unmarketed cotton to
sell.
