ADVISING TRAVELLERS
DEv|ATE FROM COURSE

That fine decorator 'Kjar' of
the finn of Kjar and Christensen. of
Atlantic placed sign on the side
OF Grandma StatzeIls building Sat
urday that is a picture of neatness.
The sign reads Atlantic 1S miles
with a pointer that the traveller
who observes it may not mistake
the direction nor the distance.
This is probably the work of the
Commercial Club of Atlantic who by
this sign are inviting travellers to
leave the River to River Road pro-
per by way of Elk Horn to the
Bluffs (going west) and drive thru
Atlantic.
It's in order, Of course for the
Commercial Clbu to attract travel
ers to their town, but we stop and
ponder, whether it's courteous to
establish such a sign in Extra and
at the same time use every means
in their power to direct Autoists
over the White Pole Road, which
does not pass through the CITY
BEAUTIFUL.

DEATH TOLL ON |OWA'S
HIGHWAYS COMPILED

Thirty-one people have been killed
In Iowa highway accidents in the
five. weeks from May 20 to June 2S,
according to figures published toF-
day in the service bulletin issued by
the Iowa state highway commission.
The list includes all sorts of acciI-
dents from boys being struck by cars
while riding bicycles to loaded autos
being hit by speeding railway trains
The youngest person given i'm the
death list lis John Marchbauk, a six
year-old Council Bluffs boy who
ran in front of a moving auto. and
the oldest is G.. A. Lage, of Paulina,
aged SIS years, who Lost control of
his car. Most of the accidents were
due to reckless speeding and mex
perienced driving.
The highway commission suggests
that tihe only sensible means of pre-

RAILROAD STRIKE APPAR
ENT HOPE TO AVOID

There is danger to all avocation
of business and pleasure in the
United Sattes because 'of a pending
,railroad strike that will effect every
Hamlet i'm the Country.
The RAILROAD brotherhood are
now taking vote to decide the mo-
menteous question.
Apparently the majority are faw-
oring it. But the vote will only be
an expression of the sentiment of
the toilers. So that if the concession
asked for by the committee repre-
senting the laboring men is not
granted by the railroads, this vote
will probably govern the act of the
committee.
One hundred millions dollars is
the amount asked for, more than is
now paid. If granted by the rail-
roads, means a large increase in
freight rates must be added. If
not granted tine stlike will come !;
and width 1T, all railroad communi-
CATION must necessarily cease, the
millions paid Tthle men in wages will
also stop. We trust the day is not
far Off when the government will
own alQl the utiMties which include
the railroads; then strikes will be
unknowh and fewer millionains at
the expense of the poor.

HOW NEW IDEAS AFFECr HOGS

How are the spring pigs doing.
just now, more than any ohher
time, perhaps, this is a question: of
supreme Importance.
You probably do not agree with
this statement. You are not alone,
for there are very many who think
THAT the most Important period in
the life of a bunch of hogs is when
they are being fattened,-not when
they ara merely growing.
Let us look into the matter a lit
tile.
Feed has become so high priced
the last three CT four years that at
bhe best thsre IS not much to, be
made by feeding it to live stock of
any kind. There may be some prof
Ii, OF course. I'm fact There seems to
have been some during the past few
mlontlhs But at other times There has
been less. AT any nate, we have
passed the poirt when level headed
mem regard the feeding OF high
priced grain is quick road to RICH
aS,
The real profits lin raising hogs,
which may be depended upon, are
these which RESULT fncm gains made
not on high7priced grains but on
feeds that are very much cheaper.
This BRINGS us back to our origin
al statement. The cheapest gains of
the Whole year are being made, or
at least may be made, right now:
and this is why it is of SO great
Importance that The pigs be doing
we'll just at present.
Have You ,aken notice of the
great change that is taking place
In methods of producing pork in
Iowa since feed has become so high
priced. 1t Is true that the average
hog III our midst spends quite a diff
terent life than what it did only a
faw years ago; and it is also true
that it ds being raised ON much less
corn than i'm years gone by.
Formerly, good feeders figured
that bushel OF corn made about
ten pounds of pork. Hence, to- pro-
duce a 240-pound hog, for exampel.
1T required about twenty-four bush
els of corn
Nowadays there are many hun
dreds. of farmers in Iowa who are
actually producing 24O-pound hogs
ON from fourteen to sixteen BUSH
els of corn.
If you study this a minuts you
will see that these modern hogs
weigh from eighty ito a hundred
pounds more than the corn that
they have eaten could be expected
to make them weigh.
This eighty pounds or perhaps ono
huIdr ed pounds repre- eents the cheap
gains that are now being made With
out corn.
How ia it done. Let US make q
study Of the matter next week, Tor

D.. Edwards Olive Tablets the sub
stitute for calomeIare mild but sure
laxative, and their effect on the liver IS
almost instantaneous. They are the re-
suit of DR.. Edwards determination not
to treat liver and bowel complaints with
calomel. His efforts to Danish it brought
out these little olive-colored tablets.
These pleasant little tablets do the
good that calomel does, but have no bad
after effects. They don't injure the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. It is best not to
take calomel, but to let DR.. Edwards
Olive Tablets take its place.
Most headaches, "dullness" and that
lazy feeling come from constipation and
disordered liver. Take Dr.. Edwards
Olive Tablets when you feel '.loggy" and
