FARMERS poor GUESSERS
Did Not Make Wheat Bins Large
Enough-PiIe It on Ground.


Pa1co, Kan, Sept. 14.-Many of the
wheat growers of Rocks country who
harvested large acreages this year, ad-
init 'cheerfully' that they made poor
guesses on their prospective yields
when they prepared thier granaries.
Dealers in building materials say sales
of the past month have broken all rec
ords while these farmers are endevor-
ing to increase their granary capacity
sufficient to house the bumper crop.
Meanwhile thousands of bushels of
grain are piled on the ground thruout
the country. It is a common sight to
see wheat piled up like miniature
mountain in the farm yards. Crop OBJ
servers and grain men declare that the
county average will be not less than
rs bushels to the acre.
Wet weather has delayed threshing
considerably and has resulted in some
loss to the wheat still in the shock.
The chief source of worry for the
farmer and grain dealers, however, is
the transportation problem.@More cars
have been coming in lately, Is cars
being shipped from this point recently
in five days. Considering the volume
of the crop, however. dealers declare
they do not believe that it will be pos
sible to move the entire crop to market
centers before the next harvest, altho
they figure on material Improvement

AND THE FLU
First Step in Treatment Is a
Brisk Purgative With Gallo
tabs, the Purified and Re-

Are Nausealess, Safe and
Sure.

Doctors have found by experience
that no medicine for colds and influ-
enza can be depended upon for full eff
fectiveness until the liver is made thor
oughly active. That is why the first
sep in the treatment is the new, nau-
sealess calomel tablet called Calotabs,
which are free from the sickening and
weakening effects of the old style Gallo
mel. Doctors also point out the fact
that an active liver may go a long way
toward preventing influenza and is one
of the most important factors in en-
abling the patient to- successfully with
stand an attack and ward off pneu-
monia.
One Calotab on the tongue at bed

all. No salts, no nausea nor the slight
