for transferring their stockyard in terests, estima&d to involve about $40, OoO,OO to Frederick H. Prince and Company, Boston bankers. This sug- gestion was said to be regarded by government lawyers as meaning con centration of control to a greater de- gree than existed under the packer management. The nature of the coun- ter-suggestion to be presented by the government was not disclosed nor was it known whether Attorney General Palmer would oppose extending tfsi time for development of new plar by the packers.
 MT. Prince, under terms of an option on the packer stock holdings, was obligated to organize a holding cor poration, the stock of which would be offered to farmers and producers and traders in live stock. The option pro- vided also that interests using the yards would be represented in the hold ing corporation directorate and in the management Of the stockyards. The packer counsel contended that through the medium or HoiulHS SOA poration the values of the yard prop critics would be conserved and all would be on parity so far as their securities were concerned. This scheme however, was not approved entirely by department of justice attorneys. al- though they were said to recognize merit in the method of retaining prop erty values.
 The federal trade commission, in a recent report to the department of justice, took the definite. stand that concentration of ownership as sug- gested by the packers, would mean greater "monopolistic control.' While officials of the department said they had not agreed altogether with cer- tain of the finders of the commission, it was probable that the objections to be filed would not differ greatly from those contained in the commissions report.

LOCAL OIL MAN BRINGS
SUIT AGAINST EX-GOVERNOR
HASKELL IN TEXAS COURT

f. A. Merrill, local oil man, has
left for Wichita Falls, Texas, to he
present at suit in the district court
there, and in which he is the plain
tiff. Mr.. Merrill brought suit against
Ex-Governor Haskell, OF oklahoma,
to recover judgment in the sum or
sos, 900, which Mr.. Merrill claims is
due him from the defendant as un-
paid commission Besides Mr.. Has
kell, the al" Oil Company is also
defendant in the suit.
About a year ago. Merrill and asso-
ciates made brokerage deal on the
y. 1. Staley property in the Burke
field, Texas, with the agreement that
they were to receive as their COM
mission sl75,OO OF this amount. Mr..
Staley was to pay 100000 in cash
and the balance in oil. In order
that he might. get concessions in the
contract, states Mr.. Merrill, Mr..
Haskell assumed to pay $4,000 OF
the $lO0,o0 cash agreed to by Staley,
out of the first l.S per cent of oil
run from the pipe. However he has
failed to pay II. NJ. Staley made
good his part of the agreement and
has paid his share of the commits
sion.
The trial is being held before

Sales for Present Year

SOLD IN SIX YEARS
Celebrated Medicine Has
Become Sensation of
Drug Trade All Over
America and Canada.
Best People of Country
Endorse 1t.

Although placed on sale something
over five years ago, the demand for
the celebrated medicine, Tanlac, has
increased at a most phenomenal rate
and announcement has just been
made by the manufacturers that the
total sales will reach approximately
100000 bottles BY the end of the
present year.
To say that Tanlac now has the
largest sale of any medicine OF its
kind in the world does not begin TO
tell the story. for no other prepara-
ton has ever even approached the
marvellous record that has been made
by Tanlac. and it is now conserva-
lively estimated that the sales by the
end Of the coming year will reach
the astonishing total OF 100000
bottles.
Tanlac sales last year amounted 10
4,079.s4S bottles, establishing a new
world record for the sale of proprie-
tary medicines up 20 that time. This
record now pales into insignificance,
however. as orders received during
the first nine months Of the present
year reached a total OF $500 900 bot
ties showing an increase Of almost
100 per cent over the corresponding
period of last year.
The enormous and ever-increasing
popularity of Tanlac is the one great
outstanding proof of its merit. The

Tanlac. the unqualified endorsement
of thousands Of well-known men and
women from all parts of the coun-

The greatest test of any medicine
is the repeat sales il enjoys. Tan
lac's phenomenal record has been
possible because OF the fact that the
men and women who buy one bottle
invariably return for the second and
recommend it 10 others because 1t
has helped them. Tanlac has been on
the market now little over five
