Removing Ugly Hairs
Entirely New Method
Actually Removes the Roots)

The question is often asked whether
a really permanently efficacious hair
remover exists. and the answer has
heretofore been very unsatisfactory.
Fortunately, there's new and re-
markable process that really removes
every hair entire. root and all. 1t is
different from and far better than
any other method. II you'd like to
try it. just get a stick of phelactine
from your druggist. follow the simple
instructions-and with your own eyes
see the hair roots come OUT Roots
are removed instantly. easily. leaving
the skin perfectly smooth and hair
free.
Phelactine is non Irritating. odor-
less. and so harmless you could eat it.
1t is so reliable that every stick Is
sold on q satisfa ction- or money back
basis

Sheep Raising
Offers Chance
to Make Money
Wool Business Never More
Prosperous Than Now,
Says Darby Man.

Wool raising in Montana promises
to be one Of the best paying indus
tries Of the state for the next three
years. according to c. l. Wordsworth
u prominent sheep raiser of Burnley,
Idaho. who is spending few days in
Missouln. Mr.. Wordsworth has more
than $4,000 sheep near Darby and
says that he Is going to have still
more next year.
Price Of Wool Never Higher.
The price OF wool today is higher
than it has ever been before" said Mr.
Wordsworth yesterday. with the
product bringing from go to 65 cents
pound indications point to a record
year" in wool production. With wool
as high as it u.s. there is every pos
sibility that mutton will be one of the
scarce meats on the market in the
future as everyone will hold their
sheep for WOOL"
Army Demand Boosts Prices.
Mr.. Wordsworth declared that the
manufacture of army clothes, coupled
with the cutting off of the importa :
ton Of English WOOL has been the
principal reason for the increase in
the price of wool. He stated that he
believed that the present price would
not be any lower for at least three
years. probably longer.
Fine Opportunity Offers.
For the young fellow who wants ia
make some money, no better oppor-
tunity presents itself than going into
the sheep business" said Mr. Words
worth. in Montana and Idaho there
is plenty OF grazing land and any
young fellow could get in and learn
the sheep business with profitable re-
suit.
THE great trouble today is the fact
that so many foreigners have control
of the sheep business 1t would be a
wise thing il the American people
themselves would take more interest
and see that the industry is conducted
by Americans"

GOVERNMENT Will SUE
c. n. FOR FIRE DAMAGE
Forest Service to Take Ac-

Official Says.
COOPERATION DENIED
Company, Federal Officers
Declare, Has Not Helped

COOPERATION DENIED

Suit for damages sustained by the
government through forest fires all
legged to have been started through the
carelessneSs of the Great Northern
railroad will be instituted by the for
est service. according to an announce
ment made yesterday by Assistant Dis
trict Forester J. r. Preston.
The decision of the department to
bring action against the railroad fol-
lows a telegram received yesterday
from the railroad headquarters at st.
Paul in which they refused to pay the
salaries of Is extra fire fighters asked
by the forest service. The department
wired to st. Paul last week asking the
cooperation Of the company following
the outbreak of more than a hundred
fires, which District Forester +. A.
Silcox declares We're caused by the
sparks from engines not properly car
rying spark arresters.
Now Collecting Evidence.
The action against the company will
be taken as soon as all the evidence
concerning the origin of the fires Is
obtained. The forest service has been
tracing the origin Of many fires dur
Gals report that they have very clear
evidence against the Great Northern.
Road Refuses Cooperation.
I'VE have been trying to get some
cooperation from the Great Northern
railroad for a number of years" said
Mr.. Preston. yesterday, but they have
recently refused to do anything to help
;nh ho
past two weeks our deputies have been
forced to send many of their engines
into the roundhouse because of the
lack of spark arresters.
Won Suits in 1919.
THE forest service sued the COM
pany in 1910 and we won the case and
forced them to pay for damages 10
the forests. We expect to do the same
thing again and we believe that we
can win out. 1t is plainly evident that
many fires have been started as a re-
suit of the company's carelessness."
Two Men Arrested.
Two arrests were reported to the de-
partment yesterday of men who were
alleged to have started fires that
caused damage to the forests. Fay
Clark Of the operation department
wired from Elk Summit that he had
taken one man in charge and G.. NJ.
Smith reported another arrest near
Libby.
The Swan lake fire was reported
yesterday to have gotten away again
and an extra force of men We're sent
into the district to help fight the
blaze Other fires were nnder control
and gradually subsiding yesterday.

seemed too simple. In 1866, with Il
young friend, he started for the EAR

City and there hired themselves out
as bullwhackers in a wagon train
bound for Montana Territory. They
stuck with this outfit until it reached
Fort Laramie Wyo. There, having ac-
quired n mule team and a pair Of
saddelhorses. the two pioneers joined
Nelson Story, one of the founders of
Bozeman, who was taking a herd of
Texas cattle to the Gallatin with Il
wagon train OF supplies for a grocery
store he was going to open.
Attacked by Hostile Reds.
On the road north the party was
attacked by a band Of hostile Sioux.
Three men We're wounded and some of
Story's cattle were stolen. Catlin and
the others. after fighting off the In
dams. went on the warpath them
selves. surprised the hostiles and re-
covered the stock. Later they were
commanded by troops at Fort Phil
kearncy to camp at the post until
Indian dangers had passed, but they
didn't want to wait and so slipped
away by night into hostile country.
They were attacked three times, but
always beat Off the Indians BY
travelling at night and camping by
day the party managed to reach Boze-
man safely.
Catlin proceeded westward to the

Big Hole. Federal troops joined the
volunteers on the way, and on August

ishine, the Indians were engaged in
battle. Captain Catlin and his men
fought for three days beside the
troopers until Chief Joseph and his
braves had been defeated.
