wholesale commodity prices at tho re-

Irnfavorable factors are thus enumer-

turning to the formation of company

Rhone for agricultural, irrigation and

stood that plans for the organization
! of such n concern are almost complete.
Estimates are that by the utilization
OF the water from the Rhone more than
million acres of land may be brought
under cultivation and that the power
generated therefrom will result in
saving of 100000 tons of coal q year.

one-tenth Of the annual expenses. As
money is required for its organization
bonds are to be issued to amortize in
fifty years but having back OF them
the fullest guarantee or the State. Inc
profits of the company are TO be dl-
vided on the basis of 50 per cent to the
State and 20 per cent. to the private

1t is predicted in financial circles In
this city that when the bonds are issued
they will be taken up in less than Two
days, as the project is considered here
as great as is that of the Suez Canal,

"THE BIKE BUG

WHAT KIND ~ A WIFE
SHOULD y POET CHOOSE?
Since poets are amperamentally
and inevitably Dire Y, impractical,
infrm OF purpose and untitled for
the struggle for existence, the
question, arises. what sort OF
wives should they choose? Strong,
efficient, resourceful women VINO
will take good care Of them, or
weak, helpless clinging vines. who
will force them TO brace up and
be supports instead OF dead
weights?
This is the question threshed out
In Her Sturdy Oak" Wanda Haw-
ley's latest release which is book
ed for tonight at the Apollo The
atre. Miss Hawley plays the
clinging vine role, Walter HERS
the hero role, that of a big, good
natured. futile poet, and Sylvia
Ashton is the strong-minded bust
ness woman who would care for
him. There is fun galore in this
breezy domestic comedy by Elmer
Harris. The hero in this instance
chooses the cIinging vine, who is
as helpless and impractical as he
Is and how they middle through
the first years Of married life is
amusingly shown.

John Saronac has instituted a

toddled over to the farm Of George
Harrison and ate too freely Of mash

Harrison entered suit in the

FOR TORPID LIVER
Tennessee Lumberman Talks Of His
Successful Use Of Black-praught
for Colds and Headaches.

Jamestown. Tenn.-"I have used
Thedrords Black-Draught for years, in
fact it is the only liver medicine that
does me any good" says Mr.. L. A.
Raglan, a well-known lumberman of
this place. when | was single, used
il for headaches, and especially If
get cold and feel feverish, | take a
good dose Of Black-Draught, and 1t
sets me right.
"Since | have been married, I have
used it in my family, and nee or have
found its equal for torpid liver or dis
arranged stomach, especially with
children. / can recommend Black
Draught, and gladly do So"
Every member Of the family occa-
9lonalfy needs the assistance that
Black.Draught can give, in helping to
cleanse the system and relieve or pre-
vent the troubles that come from a
lazy, torpid liver.
II your liver Is not doing its duty,
you may suffer with headache, consti-
patton, biliousness, Indigestion, etc.
Unless relief is obtained. serious sick
ness may result. In its long and sue
cessful use, Thedford's Black-Draught
has been found in thousands of cases
to relieve such disorders, by stimulat-
ing the liver to do its important work.
Ask for Thedford's Black-Draught,
and insist on the genuine. NC137
