Most Valuable Loads Ever
Hauled on Power CouBty's
New Roads

George Stanger and Edward
Howard hauled two loads OF al
falfa seed, about 1000 pounds,
70 Aberdeen on January 4. to
be cleaned. and returned with
$3.50 pounds of as fine seed OF
common alfalfa as the state
a produce.
At the very moderate price OF
20 cents a pound, this lot is
worth Si,O57.20.
Had this seed been of the
Grimm variety, with an estab-
lished demand at 35 cents per
pound, Il would have brought
$3.50. or $3.50 per acre.
This seed was taken from
twenty acres OF old alfalfa that
looked so thin as to be hardly
worth cutting for hay. County
Agent Kjosness prevailed upon
Mr.. Stanger to let IL stand and
harvest the seed. There were
sixty acres in the field, and Mr..
Kjosness tried to induce Mr..
Stanger to let II all go to seed,
but the latter did not have suf-
hcient faith to do SO. He now
wishes he had. because the for
~ acres cut for hay would un-
doubtedly have yielded twice as
much seed per ere as the
twenty acres that was permit
ted to mature.
II the seed has the estimated
} market value Mr.. Stanger will
realize s52.S6 per acre from a
} crop which he considered hard
ly worth harvesting. Seed
growing has great possibilities
for every farmer, because con-

What the Doctor Knows
KIDNEYS MUST BIB RIGHT TO
INSURE HEALTH.

Few people realize to what extent their
health depends upon the condition of ths
kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical analy-
sis of the patients urine. He knows that
unless the kidneys are doing their work
properly, the other organs cannot readily
be brought back to health and strength
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused IN any way, serious results arc
sure to follow. According to health sta
tistics, Bright's Disease, which is really
an advanced form of kidney trouble,
caused nearly ten thousand deaths in one
year, In the State of New York alone.
Therefore, it il particularly necessary to
pay more attention to the health of these
important organs.
AN ideal herbal compound that has had
remarkable success as a kidney remedy
- LIZ. k1lmers Swamp Root, the great
kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The mild and healing influence of this
preparation, in most cases, is soon real
lied. according to sworn statements and
verified testimony of those who have used
the remedy.
When your kidneys require attention,
get Swamp-Root at once from any phar-
macy. It is sold by every. druggist in
bottles of two sizes-5oc and $l.00.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..

DREAM OR TWO is
AT THE HIP TODAY

Maitland Davies said recently in re-
viewing a Mary Miles Minter picture
at Tally's Broadway theater, Los An
geles: Mary Miles Minter, always a
pretty girl, no longer depends on her
blonde beauty alone for her bid in
stardom. She has learned, under COM
petent directors, to register in her
photoplaysi That is just what made
stars of Pickford and other topnotch-
ers when they were known only for
their one-reel ability.
Mary Miles Minter is seen today at
the Hip in "A Dream or Two Ago"
and there is not a critic from Maine
to California that does not agree that
This is one of the big things of the
little girl actress career. 1t is a sweet
story that has every ear mark of good

1t is a real relief from the sex stuff

high favor with the discriminating
clientel of the Hip.
"A Dream or Two Ago'-A six-year
old girl who has everything excpet an
affectionate mother runs away from
home and is picked up by Mother
Grumpf. a leader OF a gang of crooks.
She is a female Fasan. The stolen girl
becomes one of the most adroit pick

to dance on the streets. She attracts

organization that has its headquarters
in New York City. Its hackers declare
it As meant to serve as lesson to
every father and mother and every
young working girl as to the condi-
tions that actually exist in every big
city.
The story concerns a little girl who
has an innocent filtration with a man
on the street. She is enraptured by
his promises and when her mother
scolds her for coming home late, she
leaves the home to meet him. While
in cheap restaurant and before any
thing happens, she is rescued by a
priest and taken to a mission. Here
she learns the life history of the matron
of the institution, and it is this story
that forms the greater part of the pic
ture.
The story is dramatic in its intensity,
and there is not an idle moment from
the first to the last scene. The pro-
duction has been beautifully photo
graphed and the cast, which is headed
by Peggy Sweeney. star of several big
pictures of the Chicago vice commits

root Of the evil, is wholly adequate.
