revealed today by Walter ]. Lauck,
consulting economist of the railroad

It was thought that the big ranch
was giving way to the small DIVERSE
fled farm in the west, but the recent
establishment of 500,0O0-acre
ranch in New Mexico by D. c. TrIgg
of Fort Worth, Texas, seems to as
prove this. Mr.. Trigg in 1917 pur-
chased the famous Bell ranch of 24O,-
600 acres, near Tucumcarl, N. NJ
and early in 1918 he acquired 2oo,.
OO0 acres more. The total cost OF
this vast half-million acre farm APP
proximates s20,000,000.

How n;nhtheria is Contracted.

One often hears the expression,
"My child caught a cvere cold which
developed into diphtheria," when the
truth was that the cold had simply
left the little one particularly suscep-
tible to the wandering diphtheria
germ. If your child has a cold when
diphtheria is prevalent you should
take him out of school and Keep him
off the street until fully recovered, as
there's a hundred times more danger
if his taking diphtheria when he has
a cold. When Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy is given it quickly cures the
cold and lessons the danger of diph-
liberia or any other germ disease being
contracted. Adv.

Time was when Mr.. Hamilton had
as many as thirty saddle stations in

has helped to destroy interest in the

The production has made good on the advance billing that it would maintain the high standard set by the previous efforings. The play is a fast, snappy. interesting comedy, with appropriate parts for all the favorites and an ec- centric comedy part for Ed Redmond that is one of the best this lovable comedian has ever enacted and the scenic production is probably the class fest and most attractive yet offered.
 The musical numbers are especially catchy and go over with snap and ginger. As usual Bobby Deane and Eddie Young are such a riot" that the audience don't want them to leave the stage and the American Beauty chorus have another bunch of most at tractive wardrobe and have some classy numbers.
