Peonle uho have been tormented {

People who have been tornented for years-yes, even so crippled that they were unable to help themselves-haye been brought back to robust health through the mighty power of Rheuma.
 Rheuma acts with speed; it brings in a few days the relief you have prayed for. It antagonizes the poll sons that cause agony and pain in the joints and muscles and quickly the torturing soreness disappears.
 It Is a harmless remedy, but sure and certain, because it is one discov- cry that has forced rheumatism and sciatica to yield and disappear.
 Rheuma is rigidly guaranteed. Try two 50-cent bottles and if you do not get the joyful relief you expect, your money will be returped. To. supply the ever increasing demand, Lee .& Osgood Co. always have a supply of Rheuma on hand.

ATTENTION

The people have been peaceful and
long suffering in the past as to en-
crouchments made upon grazing
grounds within the two mile limit by
nonresident sheepmen. However o n
ditions are growing different as the
small farmer has now accumulated a
few head of milk cows and young
stock and as he has been unable to get
on the forest range, must have range
adjacent to his farm.
In the past, some of the sheepmen
have paid no attention to rights of the
small fry but have held their 1ocks up
tt the very fence line of the farmer until
the grass was eaten off.
The small farmers are not antagon-
istic to the f1ockmasters, as they re-
alize that the sheep industry has been
a great factor in the agriculture de-
velopment of Idaho. They only ask
for fair treatment and will insist in
having it from this time on.
There is plenty of to trail
sheep to the ranges and observe the
two mile limit law, and we hope that
the sheepmen will look at this in the
proper light and have some consider
alton for the small farmer.

Ye scribe had the pleasure of a trip
over considerable of the project on
Tuesday with Mr.. Raby in his Olds
roadster. Leaving Richfield we found
the roads in good condition, with a few
exceptions where they need some drag
ging, arriving at Dietrich we enjoyed
a good lunch of real home cooking at
the Star restaurant. In conversation
with a number of the DIETRICH live
wires they all seem very optomistic
about the coming season and the future
of Dietrich, the people are getting
ready for spring work, and a number
are all ready in the fields. They are
taking up a tree planting propaganda
and the slogan is Beauty Your Home
There is no question but Dietrich has a
great future and is bound to make one
of the finest farming sections in south
ern Idaho. From here we headed for
Shoshone where we found a general
air Of preparedness, to receive the trade
that is coming their way, and a get-to-
gether sort of a look, and everybody
wearing the smile of contentment.
Landing at Gooding we found the
same prevailing spirit and everybody
looking forward to a prosperous and
successful season. Well it made US
feel so good that we came home spit on
