A great many Richland farmers
have been advised during the past
week that their applications for Fed
eral loans have been approved and as
soon as their abstracts are examined
the money will be forthcoming. This
will be a great boon to many of the
local ranchers who are laboring under
heavy odds with mortgages at high
rate of interest. Under the govern
ment plan which allows a man SO
years in which to pay off his principal
Indebtedness with a rate of interest
of $50, there is no reason why an era
of prosperity should not dawn on the
Richland district such as it has not
experienced since the old boom days
when it was dangerous to walk across
the street for fear of being run down
by autos bringing out prospective land
buyers who really had the cash to pay
for wild and woolly sage brush land.
Many farmers who have their places
paid for will take loans in order to
equip their farms with up-to-date APP
pliances and this will be great help
to the community at large.

MAKING SPEED RECORDS IN
BUILDING CANTONMENTS
Trees in the Forests May be Part of
Government Buildings
Week Later

Evidence that the railroads are
making good" in the test imposed
upon them by the governments mobil-
ization plans was offered recently
by William Sproule, chairman of the
western department Of the railroads
war board.
Within thirty days from the date
that the government placed its first
orders for cantonment materials the
railroads have delivered, according to
Sproule, more than $4,000 carloads of
lumber and other building supplies to
the Is environments that are to house
the first division of draft men called
to the colors. Additional trains loaded
to capacity are arriving daily. 1t is
estimated that 10000 cars will be re-
quired to haul supplies to the 16 army
environments and 16 National Guard
camps.
An indication of the speed with
which materials are being moved is
contained in a report from the canton
ment at Louisville, KY, where admin
istration buildings were constructed
from lumber out Of the Mississippi
pine forest. The trees were felled on
a Saturday, kiln dried on Sunday,
loaded on freight cars Monday and
delivered at the Louisville site We'd
nesday morning. The Transformation
from forest to government buildings
was completed by force Of carpen-
tiers one week from the time the trees
were felled.
To facilitate the movement and
prompt delivery of construction ma
terials for the cantonments, the rail-
roads war board has assigned c. E.
Denny, assistant to the president OF
the Nickle Plate road, to the quarter
masters department at Washington.

WRITER'S BEHIND THE TIMES
Complaint Made That They Have
Taken No Cognizance of Changes
Occurring in Dialects.

When Joseph Vance, of whom De
Morgan wrote a book, was a boy In
London, the lcral dialect was like
this:
Hes a-goin' for to fight Mr.. Gum
beyont the Pinnerforty works, and you
better look sharp If you want for to
see anythink."
Vance went away to South Amer.
lea and returned after many years to
find the jargon altered to this pat.

All American dialects have changed
In 80 years as that of London did,
with the possible exception OF the
tongue spoken in the southern Appa-
lachian country. Yet, to judge by
American comic papers and the gen.
tlemen of the stage. our dialects are
as immutable as the stars. They
change no more than the faces OF
great cliffs,

Diet, Exercise or Death !

An eminent medical authority writes
that most Of our city folks die Of thick
ening of the arteries or OF kidney dis
ease. The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys. Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twinges or
spots appearing before the eyes.
The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all. Plenty
OF outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water. frequently. Before meals take a
little Anqric, the great uric acid ncu-
tlralizer that is easily obtained at the
drug store. When you have dizziness,
chills or sweating, worry, or dragging
pains. in back, try this wonderful enemy
to uric acid, which DR.. Pierce of Buffalo,
N. T., discovered and named Anuric.

uric acid as hot water does sugar"
