PIONEER DEVELOPS
THRIVING BUSINESS
Henry Toevs Has Been
Prime Factor in De-
velopnent Of Desert.

In Henry Toevs, who is now pro-
prietor of the Economy Cash store,
the pinoeer days are brought wildly
to mind. He came from Kansas in
the early days when there was moth
ing in the Aberdeen country, but
sage brush. He had heard of south
ern Idaho and he came to and located
in Aberdeen and besides his home
there were only two other buildings,
Newcomb's blacksmith shop and
their house. He originally came to
Aberdeen and left with the idea that
some one would file on what is now
the Aberdeen townsite for him, as
was permitted under the old law, but
this did not come off as per schedule
and Mr.. Toevs lost out in owning
the original townsite of Aberdeen.
The Economy Cash store is nice

farm tools and many other conven-

is now $4,000, the principal men,
bers being A. H. Hoffman, who acts
as manager and G. A. Bartel, who is
strictly on the job all the time. A
H. Hoffman started the second store
in Aberdeen with capital of $3.50.
He kept getting bigger until he
couldn't handle it alone SO he took
into partnership Calvin Moser and
j. B. Bear when the company was
formed. In 1914 these two gentle
men retired and sold their interests
to G. A. Bartel. This company car

ments, tools, etc, and their stock of

SWINE WORK IN STATE
COLLEES BEING STUDIED

The latest and best methods of
carrying on swine experimental work
in the various state agricultural col
leges is being studied by the United
States department of agriculture.
Officials in all state colleges will be
given the opportunity to learn of
these methods in order that they may
adopt the suggestions If they see fit.
w. ]. Carmichael, formerly in charge
of swine experimental work at the
Illinois agricultural college, is now
connected with the United States de-
partment of agriculture as extension
animal husbandman, and will devote
his time in visiting the various
states, keeping in touch with the
work with swine. Without doubt,
officials of the animal husbandry
division say, there are methods of
procedure now used in a number of
states that could be used to advant-
age in other states If the men in
charge were made acquainted with
the work.

pOthed over a story received in
Germany from Switzerland that a
large number Of American troops
have been supplied with sawed-off
shot guns for close fighting.
The Cologne Gazette in comment
ing upon the reoprt, denounces
American barbarism and assumes
that tomahawks and scalping knives
will soon appear on the American
front. The newspapers warn the
German troops that the Americans
are not honorable warriors
The Weser Zeitung says the bar
barious shotgunns have been served
out not because they are likely to be
effective, but because the ill-trained
Americans cannot use rifles and are
badly supplied with machine guns.

WOMEN SUFFERERS MAY

Thousands upon thousands of women

never suspect it.
Women's complaints often prove to DO
nothing else but kidney trouble, or the
result of kidney or bladder disease.
If the kidneys are not in healthy
condition, they may cause the other or
gans to become diseased.
Pain in the back, headache, loss OF am
bition, nervousness, are often times symp.
toms of kidney trouble.
Don't delay starting treatment: Dr..
Kilmers' Swamp-Root, a physicians pre-

be just the remedy needed to overcome
such conditions.

lea Iona Used in China.

Tea was used and cultivated in
China as far back as the third cen
fury, A. D., but it was not until the
twelfth century that it became known
in Japan, when an abbot of Budd-
hist monastery learned about it In
China, where it's virtues were already
we'll known. Obtaining seed, he planted
some near Kyoto. In later years some
of this was transplanted near Shi-
zuoka, which vicinity has ever since
been the center of the tea industry OF
Japan. 1t was not until about the
seventeenth century that tea became
generally known in Europe, when it
was exploited by the Dutch East In

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING
TOBACCO TO MAKE 1T BETTER

For a good many years The American
Tobacco Company have been conducting a
series of experiments having as their
object the improvement of smoking
tobaccos.
And it is interesting to know that one
of the greatest of their discoveries was one
of the simplest, and that was, that cooking
or toasting tobacco improved it in every
way, just as cooking most foods improves
them.
They took real Burley tobacco, grown
in this country; toasted it as you would
toast bread; moistened 1t to replace the
natural moisture driven off by toasting;
made it into cigarettes, called them
LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette"
and offered them to the public.
Theresult has been the greatestdemand
ever created for any tobacco product in a
similar length of time.
:. The change produced by toasting Is not
only most wholesome, but the flavor is
greatly improved, just as cooking improves
meat for example.-Adv.
