way are managing to get their hay
put up, also taking a course in mu-
tual helpfulness. Everyone is want
ing to hay at the same time and with
drrigating to do, besides a hundred
other matters that need attending
to, the farmer hasn't hardly time to
eat his meals. Hay stacks begin to
dot the landscape while the alfalfa
fields are being robbed of their YER

heard for one job that is finished.

Tonic and Body Builder.
Tanlac was designed primarily for
the correction of disorders Of the
stomach, liver and bowels. At the
same time, however, it is a powerful
reconstructive tonic and body build
er, for it naturally follows that any
medicine that brings about proper
assimilation of the food and the
thorough elimination of the waste
products must, therefore, have a far
reaching and most beneficial effect
upon the entire system.
Tanlac is sold in Blackfoot by the
Palace Drug Store.-adv.

GRAIN WASTED IN THRASHING.

Hundreds of thousands OF bushels of grain are lost to consumption
each year o n American arms because of improper adjustment and lack of
efficiency in the operation OF thrashing machines. The United States De-
pMment of Agriculture as given considerable attention to this loss with
a view to ascertaining how tar improved methods cn be economically in
troduced to adjust waste. 1t is true, experts point out, that sometimes the
time and labor involved in checking a small loss is worth more than the
saving. Nevertheless, there are many leaks or almost every thrashing
job which might easily be stopped il the farmer If machine operator would
spend a few hours in the study Of the problem and a few dollars in re-
placing worn and damaged parts.
Feeding the grain into the machine, adjustment of the cleaner, and
other small items go to make u p a total that Ia mean gain or loss. Much
grain is wasted by failure 10 clean up at the end of the setting. The United
States Department OF Agriculture has issued Farmers Bulletin 991, 1.-THE
Efficient Operation of Thrashing Machines" which contains much good
advice o n this subject. This bulletin may be obtained by writing o the

The Tanlac formula is purely eth
ical and complies with all National
and State pure food laws. 1t is pure
ly vegetable and is made from the
most beneficial roots, herbs and barks
known to Materia Medica. The Tan
lac Laboratories are among the lar
gest and most modefllv equipped in
this country.
Ten Ingredients in Tanlac.
Altogether, there are ter ingredi-
ents in Tanlac, each Of which is of
recognized therapeutic value.
In referring to one of the more
important ingredients of Tanlac, the
Encyclopedia BRITANNICA says:
1T has been the source of the most
valuable tonic medicines that have
ever been discovered
In referring to other of the general
tonic drugs contained in Tanlac, the
18th Edition of Potter's Therapeu-
states that they impart general tone
and strength to the entire system,
including all organs and tissues"
This same well-known authority in
describing the physiological action of

what is commonly known as a run

expressions:

KEEP UP THE ENTHUSIASM.

Many a poultryman starts out in
the spring, full Of hope and pep. He
is determined to have a fine flock of
birds, and make money on them. But
when the weather begins to grow
warm, and other duties press, he lets
the chickens go, more or less, and
then in the fall, he wonders why so
many birds have died, and why he
didn't make any money. It's a good
plan to grow more enthusiastic as
the season advances.-Farm Life.

A day never passes but what thousands of people ask
the questions: What is Tanlac? Why it's phenomenal sue
cess? Why do we hear so much about it? and Why has
this preparation SO far out-stripped all other medicines Of
it's kind?
The answer to these questions is easy and can be ex-
planned in just one word-merit. Tanlac is scientifically
compounded and represents years of work, study, expert
mentation and research by some of the foremost chemists
and phalmacologists Of America.

SITUATION BRIGHTER

BOSTON, April 15.-The sound Of

in more places in this city today than
for many weeks as a result of the an
nouncement by the Building Trades
Employers Association of a resump-
ton OF work under open-shop condi-
tions and a ninety-cent hourly wage.
Secretary John F. Walsh. OF the
association, said a general resumption
was expected by Monday. Mean
while" he said, many applications
for work and for workmen were be-
ing received"
Union leaders, on the other hand,
said tney expected the men. OF whom
10000 have been in idleness for three
months, to hold Arm.
A meeting of the building trades
council was called for tonight, and at
that time Secretary Il. A. Johnson
said he expected to have complete re-
ports from the jobs which have been
tied up since employers announced a
wage reduction from 81 an hour in
January. .'.. -.4.

Gated, Mr.. Walsh said, that building

PIERCE OIL FINANCING.

NEW YORK, April 1s.-The Pierce
Oil Corporation, 1t Is rumored, will
shortly do some financing. The
company has been considering such
action for some time. and something
may shortly be announced. Whether
stock or bonds will be issued can
not be learned.
The company has outstanding S15,-
100000 8 per cent cumulative con-
vertible preferred stock and $23,-
!47,8I5 common stock.
This corporation Is in about the
same position as all the industrial
companies. Most of the war profits
were put back into the property. and
now cash balances are rather low.
The offering OF 100000 Mexican
Petroleum bonds. which were all
taken yesterday, backs up the con-
tcntion that many companies will
have to so to the public for funds
because the banks are SO over
stocked with collateral that they
are refusing to extend loans or grant
new funds.

STOCK MARKET FACTORS.

The stock market yesterday morn
ing was greeted by sevral very con-
structive factors. One was the VIC
tory OF the railroads in having the
national working agreements with
employees abrogated.
Hereafter working agreements will
be made individually by each road
with it's employees. 1t is also ru-
mored that the Labor Board will
shortly permit a reduction in wages.
to take effect May I. 1t remains to
be seen, however. whether the work
ers will strike because of the boards s
ruling.
Another constructive factor was
the reduction in Boston's bank dis
count rates from Z to 6 per cent. 1t
would not be surprising IL the New
York bank made a similar reduc-
tion.
1t Is pjointed out, however. that
the money situation is much better
in New England than here. Wall
Street expects to see settlemnt OF
the British strike, and with this.
commission houses look for a good
rally in stocks.

RAILROAD WAGE CUTS.

A wild tip was circulated in the
Street that another important an
rcuncement would be forthcoming
from Washington soon. as a result of
a conference to be held with the rail-
:ond labor men. who. the rumor says,
bed agreed to accept wage cuts, or
as one broker said: were suddenly
becoming philanthropists."
The report further states that all
the unions but one had agreed to the
cut. The announcement is looked for
next week and is supposed to con-
tain some statement looking toward a
reduction in railroad rates.
