trouble have yet been found. The
punches are gals caused by small
mites which look like tiny spiders.
They live within the gals and thus
cannot be reached by sprays. Undoubt-

measures can be used, says Mr. Fluke.

study of these insects and this point

hundred on one leaf. Naples are

SALTS # KIDNEYS
OR BLADDER BOTHER
Harmless to flush Kidneys and neutral

for system.

Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass it on to the bladder, where
it often remains to irritate and infame,
causing q burning, scalding sensation, or
setting up an irritation at the neck of
the bladder, obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night
The sufferer is in constant dread, the
water passes sometimes with a scalding
sensation and is very profuse; s Yin,
there is difficulty in avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While it is extremely annoying and some
times very painful, this is really one Of
the most simple ailments to overcome.
Get about four ounces of Jad Salts
from your pharmacist and take table,
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast, continue this for two or three
days. This will neutralize the acids in
~the urine go it no longer is a source of
irritation to the bladder and urinary or
gans which then act normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and is made from the acid of grapes and
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used by thousands of folks who are
subject to urinary disorders caused by
uric acid irritation. Jad Salts is splen-
did for kidneys and causes no bad
effects whatever.
Here you have a pleasant, effervescent
Whitewater drink, which quickly relieves
bladder trouble.

FATAL LACK OF ENTERPRISE

Contrast the intelligent employment

Contrast it, II you will, with the

was some vagrant talk OF the posi-
bllity OF finding some additional nat

he would take chance on a new well.
He found gas and is stil there, though

WHEAT GROWERS PLAN
TO DICTATE QUOTATIONS
Association of Farmers In Campaign
to Name Price for the
1921 Crop.

Wichita, Kan, Dec 27.-The Wheat
Growers Association of America ex-
poets to have the campaign to induce
growers to withhold their wheat from
the market so well 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. ii. McGreevy, secretary and treas
urer.
The association now has member
ship of approximately 100000 in the
states of Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas
and Nebraska, according to Mr.. Nc
Greevy, and it will be extended to Min
nesota, North Dakota and South Da-
kOta.
The purpose of the association is
to control the distribution and MIR
keting of wheat through financial and
selling agencies of it's own selection
at price based upon cost, plus a fair
and reasonable profit" said Secretary
McGreevy.
Not only the wheat growers of our
association, but wheat growers in gen
eral. are refusing TO sell at present
prices except in cases where financial
conditions force the sale With large
number of flour mills idle and the
local and terminal elevators nearly
empty. the wheat grower feels he has
practically accomplished what seemed
at first impossible, and is now encour-
aged to continue Withholding from
market In order that price which is
fair and just shall be paid him for his
labor and money invested

is commonly meant by the term" he

He asserts that while he was con-

the doors and told the mob that he
was the man they wanted. While the
crowd had rope around his neck,
TenDigkeit was forced to sign a check
for $1,000 in favor of the Red Cross.
He agreed TO leave town, and while
members of the mob waited at his

COST OF BONUS GIVEN
AS $1,000, 000,0 900
Secretary of the Treasury Houston
Gives Senate Committee Figures
on Four Plans.

Washington, Dec. 2S.-Passage of
the soldiers bonus bill would cost the
government approximately $2,3OO,OOO
600 Secretary Houston estimated be-
fore the senate finance committee con-
sidering the soldiers aid measure.
The treasury secretary declared en-
actment of the bill meant an added
burden in the way of taxes, reiterat-
ing statement made before the COM
mittee last week that the treasury
ought not to be called upon to assume
any additional burdens.
While Mr.. Houston said it was I'M
possible to compute accurately the ex-
act cost of each of the four optional
aid plans, he believed the estimate
submitted was substantially correct.
Land settlement provisions of the bill
contain SO many uncertainties, he
added, that the cost entailed by them
could only be guessed at.
Assuming that all of the men would
select one of the four optional plans,
Mr.. Houston estimated the cost of
each of the plans as follows:
Adjusted service pay, S1.342. 600, 900.
Insurance provisions, $4,534, O00, 900.
Vocational training aid, $1,SS0.0OO,-
600.

AS the plans were optional, the Sec
rotary said the choice of the men

them, and allowing for the various Sc
lections he arrived at the total est
mated cost of 3OO,OOO.0OO.

Increasing.

st. Louis, Dec. 31-Marked apathy
continues to characterize commodity
buying in the Eighth Federal Reserve
district, according to the monthly re-
port issued here. The quietness has
been accompanied by further price
cuts, the report says. These have
failed to stimulate purchasing. Mer-
chants are doing virtually no future
buying, and consequently manufacture
ers have curtailed operations, and, in
number of instances. closed their
plants. This is resulting in the re-
lease Of skilled and unskilled workers,
and the surplus of unemployed is in
creasing.
