or,qln or the Word Canada.

The origin of the word Canada is obscure but it is now generally ac. cepted that it is derived from au In- dian word, "Kannatha," meaning a village or collection of hutS. and it is supposed that Jacques Cartier. hear ing this word used by the Indians with reference to their settlements. mistook it's meaning and applied it to the whole country. Quebec is said to be derived from the Indian word fKebec. '' meaning strait, and was given to the site of the present city of Quebec from the peculiar confguration of the St. Lawrence river at that point. for the river there grows narrow and from its deep waters rises the bold height on which the ancient city stands.

COTTON COUNTY OIL AND
GAS co. STRIKES OIL
Fine Well Struck in the Oglesby Field
Near Tulsa, Oklahoma on
Saturday.

Five days after starting the drill on
their new lease in Oglesby field of
Oklahoma the local office of the COM
pany received word that they had the
best well in the field. The well was
struck in fifty-foot strata of oil sand
and rose to within fifty feet of the
Surface. This is a shallow field, the
well coming in at a depth Of 430 feet.
and while production is not heavy the
wells are very cheaply drilled and the
company expects to put down a num-
Der in the near future, one having al
ready been started. A telegram was
received at the local office yesterday
that on lease in the adjoining sec
tion parties had drilled to a second
sand at depth of little over one
thousand feet and got a 500 barrel
well. This field is now attracting the
attention of the oil men more than
any other section as it was an old gas
field that has been turned into big
oil producer in the last few months.
The Cotton County Oil and Gas Co.
has fine fifty-acre lease right in the
heart of the field, and the company
has already received some very flatter-
ing cash offers for the property at
many times the price it cost. The
company has lately acquired several
valuable leases in addition to those
formerly held and the officers now feel
they have one of the most promising
companies ever organized in this sec
tion. The officers expect to drill n
number Of wells on the oglesby tract
and part Of the proceeds of this pro-
duction will be devoted to the develop
ment of the other properties Of the
company.

dealers Of Prowers county held ban

April 3rd, at l o'clock in the after
noon on the vacant lots north Of the
Central School. At this auction 35
cars will be sold. and the rule of the
sale is that when they are put up

will be allowed. The terms of sale
will be announced at the sale, which
will be conducted by C. b. Ray & Son

RAISE IN HOG
PRICES PREDICTED
Same Rule Holds Here as in Other
StOck-GoOd Hogs, Good Condi-
tions, Good Profits-Ayoid
the Poorer Animals.

The price of hogs is low at present,
but Judging from the way the farm
ers are planning to reduce the number
they will raise this year, the price is
likely to be very high year from
now. "The aim of the farmer" says
R. W. Clark of the Colorado Agricul-
tural College, SHOULD be not to raise
too many but raise extra good ones.
He should also plan to do the best
feeding he ever did. Good animals
and good feeding at ordinary prices
will often give more profit than in
ferior animals, poor methods of feed
ing and high prices.
"The pendulum always swings as
far one way as it does the other and
the farmer will do well to take a mid.
die ground position"

Carl Ziegler of Coffeyville, Kansas.
Rev. d. G. MacLennan of the Presby-

mony very beautifully appointed

holders of the Sinclair Oil Company

City they were personally chaperoned
by L. Writ Markham and L. L. Van
Ginkel, who discovering that the groom
was a fellow Shriner, decided to see
that no one remained in ignorance of
the fact that bride and groom was
aboard the train and that they had
the best of everything enroute. They
furnished regular hourly bulletins to
Judge and Mrs. Kinkaid.

No Concessions
(From the Chicago Tribune

trrom the Chlcago lribuneD
So Mr.. Wilson himself sealed the
fate of the covenant. The event makes
sardonic comment on his statecraft.
At Paris he made repeated sacrifice of
principle to save the covenant. But
at Washington he would make no con-
cession to the demand for safeguards
in his country's interest. There is a
consistency of egotistic purpose in
this which must be recognized. But
we do not think history will write II
down as admirable.

TRUCK LOAD OF ALFALFA
SEED BRINGS FARMER S96S.35
John Arndt, Living 40 Miles South Of
Holly Brings in Valuable Farm
Product,

John Arndt, a farmer residing 40
miles south of Holly recently brought
in a Ford truck load of alfalfa seed
which he sold at the Holly Elevator
for s968.35. The alfalfa seed netted
Mr.. Arndt about 33 cents per pound.
This was certainly valuable load
of farm freight, and it was some check
to write farmer for one load of grain
seed. In fact it was the largest check
Manager Sam Smith had written for
one load of grain since he took the
management of the Holly Elevator
Co.'S business here.
1t also indicates the productivity Of
the southside land when properly at
tended And there are perhaps others
who have done equally well if not bet
ter in the south side country. And al
falfa seed, it will be seen, is worth
real money.-Holly Chieftain.

GENERAL COLORADO NEWS

Blanks have been mailed from the
office of the State Board of lmmigra-
ton to all manufacturers in the state
except those in the city of Denver in
connection with the first survey of the
manufacturing industry to be made by
the State of Colorado. 1t is the pur-
pose of the immigration Department
to make an annual survey of this in
dustry, as provided in an act passed
by the Twenty-second General Assem-
bly,. A survey of the manufacturing
industry in Denver has recently been
conducted by the Industrial Bureau of
the city of Denver, and present plans
do not contemplate duplication of
this work. Manufacturers in all other
counties in the state have received
the blanks and the work of compiling
them will be begun as soon as suffic-
lent number has been returned. The
law requires that all manufacturers
furnish the information requested and
provides that no public use may be
made OF the report of any individual
manufacturer. The immigration De-
partment is using exactly the same
classification of manufacturers as that
used by the federal Census Bureau,
and all persons required to report to
that bureau must report to the state.
The primary purpose of the survey is
to establish a basis upon which the
state and the various and other public
spirited organizations may conduct in
telligent campaigns for the improve
ment and extension of the industry.

Reports from all the banks in the
state, compiled by the State Immigra-
tion Department, show that but six
of the sixty-one counties in the state
having banks within their borders
showed decreases in their bank depos-
its during the year 1919. In the re-
manning counties increases were shown
ranging from per cent to 10 per cent.
The largest percentages Of increases
were shown by the following counties:
Cheyenne, 1856 per cent; Kit Carson
county, rs per cent; Baea county, 10
per cent; Archuleta county, 55 per
cent; Logan county, 81 per cent; Yuma
county 53 per cent. The increase in
bank deposits for the state as a whole
was in excess of 25 per cent for the
year. and about 40 per cent since the
beginning of 1917. Increases were
shown in all the agricultural counties,
while some of the mining counties
showed decreases, the largest being
for Teller county. Most of the large
increases were shown by farming
counties in eastern Colorado, though
some of the Western Slope counties
showed increases greater than the
average increase for the state as a
whole.

THOUSANDS HAVE KIDNEY
TROUBLE AND NEVER

Applicants For Insurance Often
Rejected

Judging from reports from drug
gists who are constantly in direct
touch with the public, there is one
preparation that has been very sue
cessful in overcoming these condi-
lions. The mild and healing in
fluence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root

est for its remarkable record of sue
cess.
An examining physician for one
of the prominent Life Insurance
Companies, in an interview of the
subject, made the astonishing state
ment that one reason why so many
applicants for insurance are reject
ed is because kidney trouble is SO
common to the American people
and the large majority of those
whose applications are declined dc
not even suspect that they have the
disease. 1t is on sale at 'all drug
stores in bottles of two sizes, med
ium and large.

French government in francs will be.
Faith in the future Of France led the
French Treasury to conclude that it
would be cheaper to borrow dollars at
high rate than to pay off $100, 000, 900
more Of the Anglo-French loan by
purchasing dear dollars with depre-
ciated francs at the present time. The
French Treasury is really specializing
on the possibility Of an improvement
of the franc in the international money
market.
The success Of the French loan on
the side of craftsmanship has led in
vestment bankers to predict that fur
Their foreign financing in limited
amounts would be done before the end
of the year. At present European
municipal financing is actually under
negotiation, and at least one security
issue is likely to emerge. Bankers find
it difficult to determine what O fairly
we'll known European city ought to
pay for funds, after the French gov
eminent has offered per cent besides
attractive trimmings.
In the program Of Eugene Meyer
jr, former managing director of the
War Finance Corporation, for enlarg-
ing the functions Of the postal and
savings system there is at least one
capital suggestion. MIR. Meyer calls
attention to the ancient need of getting
the hoarders to become savers. Whether
this job is done by the postal savings
or mutual savings bank seems less
important than that the task should be
performed. One way Of correcting the
present credit situation is b. increas-
ing the supply, not by fat methods,
which breed imitation, but by trans
ferring funds from the stockings to
the bank vaults.
