COLONEL PLACE

Colonel E. r. Place has returned
to Reno. where he expects to be sta
toned for some time. The colonel
is connected with the Western Pacific
Railway. He was immigration and
industrial agent before the road was
taken e by the government, and
since that time has been retained by
the federal administration as agri-
cultural agent. The colonel is a live
wire and has the happy faculty of do
ing business if there is anything to
be done in his line.-[Home Builder

had not the prevalent conception Of
hegemony invaded the supper room.
And that is an idea, brothers-and
siters-which must be ostracized from
Humboldt county. Our nation, and
other good nations, fought Germany
to overcome the very idea of personal
power, selfishness, autocracy. 1t is
a benighted idea. The history of all
progress shows clearly that lasting
good has only been accomplished by
unselfshness. Seeking your own in
another's good, may sound like ITO
pia to some people-but it is hard
science, and has been proved the last
ing way of accomplishment. Commu-
nifty spirit is greater than material
things. Materiality is worthless with
out the spiritual concomitant.
Being perfectly willing to grant to
the women all credit for taking the
first step. in the time of our distress,
for community betterment, and ask
ing them to remain in the position
they have assumed, let us also remem-
Der that he who endeavors to inject
selfish or autocratic ideas into a COM
munity movement is only, in reality,
limiting and circumscribing his own
opportunities and it attempting some
thing which must ultimate in disaster.
Love thy neighbor as myself.

Necessity the Mother of Community Spirit

HEN woman sees that Something ought to be done" 1T is not
unusual, and perhaps not unnatural, that she first casts about
for a man to do it. Failing to find the suitable he-person to
perform the task at hand, woman rolls of her sleeves and does
it herself; and probably it is fair to say that, at least as often
as not, she does it better in a feminine way than would have
been done in a masculine. These few general remarks are in

Plan Many Meetings.

Reports from all sections of Ken
lucky show a decided interest in the
Farmers Community Meetings which
are to be held this summer. Twenty
counties have already perfected their
organizations and are waiting to
have their dates definitely fixed.
These dates have to be most carefully
adjusted SO that nothing may con-
fict to keep the meetings from be-
ing pronounced success.
The first group of three meetings
will be held in Belle, Knox and Clay
Counties. Other group meetings will
be held along the L and N toward
Louisville. Later the tents and
speakers will move to reach one OF

fat cattle, the wonderful Bluegrass
pastures and large flock of sheep on
pasture.

BIC POTATO YIELD
Western Canada Man Raised 600
Bushels on Two Acres.
He Thinks He Did Pretty Well, but
There Were Even Larger Crops
in the Neighborhood-
Stock Men Prosper.

AS by-product the yield of potatoes
on the farm of Ben Pawson of Coal
dale, Alberta, was somewhat Of pay
ing proposition. Coaldale is in the
Medicine Hat dist let Of Alberta. Med
icine Hat is place, pictured in the
mind of many Americans, where the
weather man holds high carnival, and
when he wants to put little life or
spirit into the people just moves the
mercury down a few nOtches. The
rascal has thus given Medicine Hat a
rather unenviable place on the map.
But it isn't half as bad as it is pic
tured. Anyway, Ben Pawson likes it.
Last year he grew six hundred BUSH
els Of potatoes on two acres Of land
that had no special preparation, and
only the usual precipitation, or rain,
as the less cultured would call it.
When he couldn't work at his hay or
grain, because Of the damp mornings,
he gave them some attention. And
then evenings between supper and
chores and bedtime he gave them some
work. Anyway his yield was six hun
dred bushels, and he sold the whole
lot for $285. Ben is satisfied. Still
there were larger yields than this in
the neighborhood.
If one might speak Of hogs in the
same breath in which you speak Of po-
tatoes, there is nothing in the ethics
of literature that would create de-
&c To1 o6x nf fhfC
license it will not be out of place to
state that large potato yields are not
the only feature Of interest in this
new and interesting country. Amongst
others hogs are having good deal Of
attention. Not long ago, hogs reached
the $4,000 mark on the Calgary market.
1t doesn't cost much to raise hog
and very little to bring him to weight
of 200 pounds. Don't cost much! Ger
tainly not. But what about the man who
recently paid $3.50 for Duroc Jersey
Boar? That was all right. That man
knew what he was doing. He was do
ing what a great many other farmers
in Western Canada are doing today.
He is acting on the old "saw," that
''it costs no more to raise a good crit
ter than a poor one" That is the rea-
son that Western Canada is looming
large in the live stock world. The best
is none too good. The same may be
said of horses, cattle, yes, and sheep,
too. The very best sires and dams
of the best breeds are purchased. And
while big prices are paid, it is felt that
the demand for pure-bred stock at
home and abroad will bring returns
which will warrant any reasonable
price that may be asked.-Advertise-

If You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
It is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a
preparation I have sold fort many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmers Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
