MILK IN WINTER.

Why do your COWS give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does no. sup
ply them with grasses and green
food. But we have come to the as
sistance of Dame Nature with i. 4.
Thomas Stock Remedy which cor
tains the very ingredients that the
green feed supplies in season only, Of
course, in a more highly concentrated
form. We guarantee that this rem
-edy will make your COWS give more
milk, and better milk, with the same
feed.

HIGII-GRADE OIL.

Wichita Kan, Jan. 24.-Because of

feet, in a test on the Pngrey farm

son county, where the first wells We're
drilled twenty-five years ago.
Before the discovery Of the Pingre3
sand the oil came from sands found at
depths Of 800 and 1850 feet and was Of
poor grade. The low gravity held back
development. When George Joseph took
the lease on the Pingrey farm he agreed
TO begin drilling July 1, 1917. The con-
tractor he employed was detained on
another well. To hold his lease Joseph
spudded in with an improvised drilling
outfit and a span Of mules. The well
produces forty barrels daily. He has
since drilled three more good wells. The
oil is Of $3.50 gravity, paranin base.

SAVE DAD s LIFE
GET It FOR HIM
Says il is suicide to cut cOrns and
tells how they lift right
out.

You simply say to the drug store
man, Give me a quarter of an ounce
of freezone." This win cost very little
but is sufficient to remove every hard
or soft corn from ones feet.
A few drops applied directly upon
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted out
with the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of
corns was introduced by a Cincinnati
man, who says that while freezone is
sticky it dries in a moment, and seems
to simply shrivel up the corn without
inflaming or even irritating the sur.
rounding tissue or skin
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corn,
but cut this out and make him try it.

MinOt Inventor Held at Washington

MlnOt Inventor Held at Washington
Washington, Jan. 29.-From Minot,
N. D., Charles j. II. Hoffman came to
Washington to convince government
officials that he has discovered Sc
cret of driving an engine by natural
power.
Officials have not had time to look
into the merits of Hoffman's claims,
but as agents of the department of
justice did investigate his citizenship
and now he is in Jail as an enemy alien
in the District of Columbia, contrary
to President Wilson's proclamation.
Senator Gronna of North Dakota
has vouched for Hoffman's good in
tentions and it is probable he will be
released early next week on the prom
Use that he remain away from the cap
ital. Maurice Splain, United States
marshal, said last night.
Hoffman insists that his invention
will do all that is claimed for the
"Garabad system" for utilizing nat
ural power, which both the house and
senate have voted to demonstrate to a
group of scientists. He further con-
tends that he, not Garabed T. X.
Giragossian of Boston, is the father
of the idea. Hoffman came to this
country from Germany in 1890. Seven
years later he took out his first pa
pers, but failed to complete his citizen
ship. He was educated in a German
technical university and served two
years in the kaiser's army.

BRIEF STATE NEWS

Golden Valley had it's first disas-
trous fire last week when the fire
alarm was sounded throughout the viii
| lage and it became known that their
flour mill and electric light plant was
ablaze. Frantic efforts were made to
extinguish the flames but in spite Of
this the fire made Roadway and the
complete plant was destroyed besides
; the residence of the proprietor. The
loss is estimated at about $4,000 and
since then Golden Valley has been in
complete darkness. Besides this 1000
bushels of wheat were destroyed and
800 sacks of flour. The origin of the
fire is unknown though it is supposed
to have been set.
