Spring Seems to Aggravate
This Painful Disease

Victims of Rheumatism, that
most painful and torturing of
tall diseases, feel that with the
approach of balmy springtime
they may expect some relief
from the pangs of suffering
which they have endured all
winter.
And this is an excellent time
to get rational results from the
right sort of treatment for this
painful ailment. Just now the
system is ready to throw off
the impurities that have been
accumulating throughout the
winter season, and nature is
ready to help in the eliminating
process that is so essential in
preparing the system for the
changing seasons.

$955. .OOO For Roads Asked.

Hearings on the War Depart ment's request for an appropria- ton of $955,O00 for the Alaska Road Commissions use in Alaska next year will begin before the House Appropriations Committee on January 10, according to advices just received in Juneau The War Department transmitted the request of the Alaska Road Commission without change, recommending the full amount to be appropriated
 It is stated, however, that there is a strong likelihood that the amount will be materially reduced unless a strong case is made out by Alaskans themselves in support of the Commissions request This is said to be indicated by the prevail cncc of a strong tendency for re- trenchment among the members of Congress and an expressed determ- ination on the part of Congressional leaders to cut all requests for ap- propriations down to the very east possible figure.
 Delegate George B. Grigsby is preparing to fight every suggestion of reduction in the appr Driation. Delegate-E Dan A. Sutherland, it is understood, has stated that he will also be in Washington for the hearings and will do everything possible to aid Delegate Grigsby.

WHEAT GROWERS PLAN TO CONTROL IN 1921
Campaign to Induce Farmers To Withhold Crop From
 Market Spreading.

WICHITA, Kan, Dec 29.-The Wheat Growers Association of Anl- erica which has been conducting campaign to induce growers to with hold their wheat from the market until prices are higher, plans to have mid-Western states so we'll organized within the next six months that the growers will be able to control the price paid for the 1921 wheat crop. according to w. H. McGreevy, secre tary and treasurer.
 The association now has a member ship of approximately 100000 in the states of Texas. Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska, according to Mr. Nc Greevy, who has his headquarters here. Tine organization will be ex tended, he said, to Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota.
 "The purpose of the National Wheat Growers Association is to control the distribution and market. ing of wheat through financial and selling agencies of it's own selection at price based upon cost, plus fair and reasonable profit" said Sec retary McGreevy.
 Refusing To Sell
 Not only the wheat growers of our association but the wheat grow. CTS in general are refusing to sell any wheat at present prices except in cases where financial conditions force the sale. For more than thirty days we have withheld our wheat from the market until now a large number of flour mills are idle and the local and terminal elevators are nearly empty. The wheat grower feels that he has now practically accomplished what seemed at first impossible, and is now encouraged to continue withholding his wheat from the market in order that price which is fair and just shall be paid him for his labor and money invest. ed"
 The four states now organized Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas) in which a membership of 100000 is claimed. have 220,S wheat growers, according to Kansas Board of Agriculture statistics.
 The four states produced this year 232,955, 900 bushels out of a total for the United States of 75O,64S, 900 bu. shels.
