RAILROAD NO LONGER JOKE
BurIesque Is to Be Made Eff
Gent and Profitable.

Canada's comic valentine railway,
the Edmonton, Dunvegan and British
Columbia, will soon be transformed
from 400-mile stretch of steel humor
into an efficient and profitable line.
The work Of repairing it has been be-
gun by the Canadian Pacific, which
recently took over the management of
the road for five years with the priv
ilege Of purchasing it.
Though it is the only rail outlet of
the rich Peace River valley, the road
has been allowed to fall into a state
of disrepair that turned it into a trag-
ic joke 1t took three weeks for trains
to make the journey from Spirit River
to Edmonton. The rOadbed was over
grown with tall weeds and grass. In
heavy rains the rails for miles would
sink out of sight in mud. With trains
at a standstill, the crews had diff
Guilty in finding the lost road. Having
prospected ahead and located it, they
had to labor for several days to dig
the rails out of the ground and relay
the track.
In the meantime, hay would be cut
along the road TO feed shipments Of
cattle or sheep. Passengers had leis.
ure to hunt rabbits or whip neighbor-
ing streams for trout which they
broiled over camp. fires. The train
that made the trip without running off
the track won fame as a miracle work
err. Travel became so dangerous u
was difficult to hire train crews,
Alberta business men and the farm.
ers of the Peace River country are
rejoicing over the transfer of the Joke
road to the e!iicien, management of
the Canadian Pacific.

To Raise House Plants From Slips.

TO grow a house plant from slip,
take a half-ripe branch and cut a slip
three inches long. After taking off all
leaves except the upper two, plant it
in wet sand, exposing only half of the
slip. The sand should be kept moist.
When the roots begin to grow, trans
plant the slip into a pot with ordinary
soil. Plants such as oleander and ivy
will root in water.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is. one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record Of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is 80
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose appica-
tiCns are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease. 1t is on sale
at all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr.
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Why Not A County Board OF Agri-
culture For Carroll,

This question should be asked by
all farmers in Carroll county. The
farmers in most of the other counties
OF the State did not stop with the ask
ing of the question, but followed up
its suggestion and organized a County
Wide Organization of Farmers in the
county.
All forms of labor, except the far
mer, is organized and it is not so
long ago that everybody felt their
power. Why not the farmer? Not that
the farmer should strike, he does not
believe in using such power which
would not only mean hard times but
a lot Of hungry people, but the far
mer should be organized to protect
himself and to get square deal"
The farmer of the west is organized.
The Farmers League, and number
of such organizations originated in
the west All the farmers organiza-
lions are combining into National
Organization. A property has been
bought in Washington, D. c., and plans
are now underway to build Temple
of Agriculture. BY popular subscript-
ion by the farmers, Carroll county's
share is $1,000.
There are a number of organiZa
tons in the county. The poultry As.
sociation, the New Windsor Guernsey
Breeders Association, the Thresher-
men and Farmers Protective Associ-
alton, the Dairymen's Association,
eight active oranges, the Sweet Corn
Growers Association, and the Pomona
Grange. These organizations are now
represented by the Advisory Council
which meets monthly in the County
Agents office to discuss the agricul
ture program of the county. Why not
member of the County Organization
with representative in the State
Agricultural Society, each farmer
member of the Coutny Organization
with board of directors which would
take the place of the Advisory Coun-
ell. This Board would cooperate with
the State College in planning the agri-
cultural work for the county to be
carried on by the County Agent and
Home Demonstration Agent. Such an
organization would put the farmers of
the county in direct touch with the
farmers organizations in Washington,
