ger which had been caused by the iron
husking peg. This scar was made the
day he established a record In Michi-
gan for husking 1913 bushels out of the
shock. He takes great pride in his
record, as to this day 1t has never been
equalled. He has found that the best
time to cut corn for silage purposes
is when it Is In the dent.
After leaving the cornfields and the
immense silos we went through the
sheep sheds. These, 1t Is said by ex-
perts, are the most modern sheds of
this nature in the western states They
are all equipped with electric lights
and cover a territory of 1900 square
feet. On the center of each shed is a
railroad track with miniature railway
cars which are transported by horses.
These ears are used to haul hay, chop
ped feed and ensilage which is blown
into bins. Everything is kept under
cover, even to the bedding that Is
used for the sheep Along either side
of the sheds are small water troughs
which convey fresh water to all the
sheep.
Mr.. Gooding Is a great believer in
livestock as the best bet' for the
farmer of today and this is typified
owns at the present time, by the ex-
traordinary dairy herd that he keeps
on his place and by the well-groomed
horses that are seen everywhere your
eye travels.
The governors life, however, has not
always been one of prosperity, for on
the way to the magnificent ranch that
he now operates he pointed out to the
writer the place where Mrs. Gooding
and he homesteaded through one of
the coolest winters that Idaho has ever
known, 1889, and 1t was with a feel
ing of the deepest reverence that he
touched upon this subject for it was
there that he laid the foundation for
the successful career that he has since
experienced. 1t was on this homestead
that the corner stone for the metrop-
oils of Gooding was laid; it was here
that this man first saw the vision Of a
great and wonderful state with natur-
al resources as yet not nearly devel-
oped.
This was a fitting climax for a trip
such as mine had been. 1t demonstrate
ed in fitting way what a man can do
IL he has the energy, nerve and belief
in an undertaking.
In closing let me add just one per-
sonal viewpoint gained by the writer
from spending @ day with this man.
Mr.. Gooding is farmer; as such he
has gained much of the worldly goods
that he possesses there is where his
heart lays; there is where his mind is
the farmers interests are his inter
ests the condition and problems that
confront the farmers of Idaho are his
problems.
They confront him every day, year
In and year out. He has met these
problems and has overcome them with
the energy that stamps him as a man
above par. Let no one tell you that he
is not q farmer; let no one tell you that
he has not the farmers interests at
heart; let no one tell you that if elect
ed and sent to Washington he will for
get the farmer His 1000-acre ranch
as viewed by the writer will stand as a
monument to his industry and ability
along all the lines of developing

The MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkhami
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman's ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal sub
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs.
Every utensil and tank that comes In
contact with the medicine is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
It is the wonderful combination Of
roots and herbs, together with the
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
so successful in the treatment of
female ills. :

MANY OWN LIBERTY BONDS
Conservative Estimate That Trere 10
One in Every Home Throughout
the Country.

Before the war there were sub
stantially 100000 savings bank de-
positors. Add to this 100000 de-
positors In state banks, which list, Of
course. includes many commercial ac-
counts; 100000 postal savings bank
depositors and 100000 depositors in
private banks. After eliminating du-
plications, it would likely be lib
eral to estimate that there were H.
100000 money savers in the United
States before the war, with not to
exceed 100000 families probably
represented in this number. The
fourth Liberty loan was supported by
21,O00,000 subscriptions. 1t would
likely be extremely conservative to say
that 100000 others have subscribed
to former issues of the Liberty loan,
and were unable to do so in the fourth
loan. We can then with safety say
there are 24,O00,OO0 owners of Lib
erty bonds in America today. BY
the elimination Of 100000 for dupli-
Gates we are not In danger Of misstat-
ing facts when we say that there is
now a bond in every home in the coun-
try.-Thrift Magazine.

The destruction wrought on all but

termite, is not surprising when few
facts are known of its prolific charac-

foot below the level Of the ground
was a conical mound of hard earth.
Inside this dwelt the queen mother.

Wells of this type are worn either tight

At an informal meeting of the City Council last evening, committee from the Alaska Labor Union, head ed by Robert Kennedy, chairman, asked the Council to look into the matter of securing increased cold storage and boat building facilities for Juneau and appoint committee for that purpose.
 Mayor Valentine volunteered to perform the offices and secure what data was possible regarding the re- port that one or two outside firms desired to establish cold storage plants here.
 It was pointed out that Dahl al ready has established a boat build ing repair shop and that by cooper erating with him it might be possi ble to secure Government contracts for building boats for the Alaska service, as suggested by Secretary William c. Redfield in letter print ed in The Empire recently.
 One of those present said that F. F. Parsons had signified the in tention of locating a cold storage plant on his place near the Pacific Coast Dock, and it is purposed to encourage him in the idea.

Believes That Enough Will Be Raised to Take Care of Needs of Pres

Mayor Emery Valentine believes that a tax levy of 14 mills will be sufficient to carry the expenses of the city for the present term. The levy last year was 16 mills. It was impossible to fix the levy last night as there was no quorum, due to the absence of Councilmen Sorby, Blom gren and Hansen.
 Because of the lack of a quorum the meeting last night was of an in formal nature. The Mayor said that many people were anxious to pay their taxes and the money was need ed, as there are no funds in the Treasury for current expenses.
 The Mayor figures that. raised last year on the IS mills levy were the following expenses which are not necessary this year. Money borrowed by the for

He must protect them against inflated prices-and this requires, first, that he shall dlstrlD ute products of manufacturer who are content With reasonable profts-and that he shall refuse to be- come party to profteering by either manufacturer or middlemen And he must follow through on thls policy by keeping his own selling costs at minimum HE MUST UTILIZE HIS STORE-ORGANlZATlON TO ITS FULL CAPACITY He must make quick turnovers of stocks that in volume of sales he may earn legitimate profits He must advertise so effec- lively that he will always be able to keep his store ''busy" He can thrive small per-sale profits only through making great volume of sales.
