Canadian Farmers
 Dollar Improving

REGINA, Sask, Dec. 29-Price de flation is following an orderly course. The purchasing power of the Cana dian farmers dollar is steadily in- creasing. This increase has so stim- ulated trade that the volume of goods sold now equals that of preced- ing years Surveys indicate that the cycle of prosperity has begun to revolve.
 The latest stimulant to the farmers dollar is the announcement of price reductions by two leading Canadian implement firms. The reductions average % per cent and apply to all finished implements stored at the various branches and to the new machinery being turned out. The plants have cut their production c; Sts that amount.
 Importance of this reduction must be seen when 1t is considered that there are more than 10000 tractors on Western Canadian farms that 3l,- '00O of these have been purchased by the thrfe prairie provinces in four years, and that development of the new agricultural districts neces- sitates the purchase of at least 10r GOO tractors a year. Last year the total value of tractors in operation in the west was $2l.Oo0, 900 Special tractor blows represented a value Of S7, 300 900. Clipping 20 per cent from the cost of new machinery. agricul- tural experts declare, means en- largcd acreage next year
 Reduction in prices of automobiles
 has stimulated that trade although farmers have not been as big pur- chasers this year as last. There are now in Saskatchewan 61 .O0O auto mobiles. an increase of 800 per cent for seven years Sale of automo-
 piles has been enhanced hy the com prchensive good roads program being carried out in connection with the Dominion governments S20000,o appropriation for main highways and market roads.

Mascot of EIks Gets Clean Bill of
 Health

BILLINGS. Mont, Dec. 29.-"Bas-
 comb" pet black bear mascot of the Red Lodge, Mont, Elks, has been
 given a clean bill Of health in dis
 trict court here-at least, SO far
 as the allegations of the complaint of
 Mrs. Maggie F. Reno, of this city, are
 concerned.
 Mrs. Reno brought action in dis
 trict court to recover 5000 damages from the Elks lodge of Red Lodge,
 claiming that the bear, while being
 led in the parade at the state conven- r tion of the Elks held here n year
 ago, bit her on the ankle. The wound bled profusely, she claimed, and caused her much physical torture, followed by a severe nervous shock
 The testimony for the defense in
 dicated that Mrs. Reno, in her anx- iety to secure a kodak picture af ,.bruin. followed the animal into the | street in face Of warning from the
 man leading "Bascomb." and 1t was i claimed that the alleged injury was the result of her own cdrelessness. Pictures Of the bear. taken in the act Of licking the face of member of the Red Lodge Elks, and other poses intended 10 show it's friendly nature under normal conditions. were introduced, while the plaintiff ex- hibited a torn and bloody stocking as evidence that the teeth of bruin ! actually came in contact with her ankle.

WEATHER MAN SAID
TEMPERATURE WAS LOW

1t required the confederation of
Ray Fisher, Winnemucca's official
weather observer, to convince the
public of this city that the mercury
had dropped to two above zero
yesterday morning. Many men of
the town made their wives get up
and make the fires. as usual. The
absence of humidity led folks gen.
orally to believe that no marked
drop in temperature had occurred.
Down on the Humboldt river still
water is frozen over and the young
have been .whetting up their skates
and cutting didoes on the ice.
The cold spell was brief. for this
morning the government ohssryn-
tory showed a minimum of %
above, or rise Of 26 degrees in
the twenty-four hour period.
The coolest weather recorded last
winter was six degrees above zero
and yesterday mornings figure de-
cisively shattered the best perform

state are in attendance. The aim
sought is to effect an amicable ad-
justment between the railroads and
the mining men whereby new tariff
schedules can be introduced which
will make possible the resumption
of mining activities in Nevada.
1t was asserted that the mining
bill now in committee in the House
of Representatives introduced by
Mr.. Arentz in response to a request
from the bureau of mines, has met
with general disfavor in mining cir
cles throughout Nevada, and follow
ing the example of the Reno cham
Der of commerce the Humboldt or
ganization last evening unequivo-
cally declared against the bill in its
present form. In the meantime,
Mr.. Arentz, in declarations made to
the Reno chamber of commerce, has
volunteered to kill the Objectionable
bill in the committee room, where it |
now reposes, which should leave
nothing for concern in the minds of |
the mining men of Nevada.
A recent meeting of the county
commissioners resulted in the adop-
ton of resolutions condemning the
failure of the Nevada state highway
commission to effect needed high
lf,.p - Il.
county, although heavy expendi- i
lures have been made in the ad-
joining counties of Pershing and
Lander. The chamber of commerce
membership present last evening
placed its approval on the action
of the county commissioners and
the hope was expressed that the
highway commission will show
reversal of form.
This hope is especially appropos
in view of the fact that interests
in this city and in the communities
IN TIC sc-.hern- mart of the county
are uniting in movement for bet
ter roads. What was denominated /
state highway project No. 8 by the
last state legislature affects routes
that connect Winnemucca with the |
farms and mines north of here. The
best interests of this county will be |
served by fulfilling project No. 8, |
said several speakers at the meeting
last evening. The hope was also
expressed that the Victory highway |
leading across this county from east
to west will receive a merited recog-
milton from the states highway de-
partment. Both road building
schemes are vitality related to the !
welfare of Humboldt county. In

This delegation will be accompanied
to the capital by District Judge
j. A. Callahan and County Agent
J. W. Wilson.
There is available for road build
ing at this time in the treasury the
sum of $62 900 and if this, matched
by the state in even ratio. and by
the federal government in the ratio
of eight to one as authorized by the
Phelps Townsend law, recently en-
acted by congress, it would make
available for early expenditure in
this county sum approximating
one million dollars. However, the
road needs of other parts of the
state will operate to cut down Hum
boldt county's share for the total
approximate sum for the purpose
that will be Nevada's in the near
future, is said to be three million
dollars. Humboldt county's share in
any event will suffice to serve ex-
isting needs, both as they apply to
the Victory highway and to the dis
tinctly local projects that will final
ly serve to link this city with its
tributary territory in the most in
innate sense.
Secretary Grady, prosecuting the
plan previously suggested, spoke for
five minutes on How Can Winnie
mucca and Paradise Valley CO.
operate to a Common Good?" He
told about the failure of the people
of the two communities to cooper
ate in the sale of farm products
from the fertile district to the north
and in the end talked himself into
a commission to work for an or
ganization that will operate to cure
the untoward conditions of the mo-
ment. County Agent J. w. Wilson
will be associated with Mr. Grady
in the performance of this task.
Mr.. Grady also told in a pertinent
way of the Paradise Valley -four
MIL, its excellent production, and
emphasized the fact that this has
not found its way into the Winnie
nucca market. He also said that
s22,0 is going out of Paradise
Valley yearly to outside mail order
houses. This practice will be abated
and the -four from the district will
be sold in Winnemucca, thinks Mr..
Grady, when the state builds de-
cent thoroughfare to connect the
two localities.

The Month Of MarrIanea.

June, the month of roses, is also
Hymen's own. This Is not coinci-
dence but an inherited custom handed
down to the present day through the
centuries. In pagan times the Romans
considered June the most propitious
season for contracting marriages,
especially If the chosen day were that
Of the full moon; or the conjunction
Of the sun and the moon.
These and many other superstitlons
were retained In the Middle ages
especially those which belonged more
especially to the spirit Of Christianity /;
people then had recourse to all kinds
of divinations, love philters and magi-
cal invocatlons, as well as prayers and
Hastings, which were modified accord
ing to the country and the individual.

CONSOLATION FOR THE FAT
Surety Company Gives Stout Denial to
the Statement That Nobody
Loves Them"

Fat men need no longer go hungry
for affection. The surety companies
love them. Men who resort to ex-
clamatlon marks when the razor slips
or the back collar button deserts its
post of duty may be hard on the
nerves Of the household, but they
bring JOY to bank auditors. Fat men
and loud swearers pay their bills
much more promptly than lean and
close-lipped men, and run away much
less frequently with the employers
bank roll. For this we have the au-
thority Of the chief expert Of surety
company of New York.
1t is good to have the statisticians
give final judgment on point which
the literary students Of human nature
have left in doubt. If Tartuffe was I'M
derfed Chadband exuded hypocrisy
out Of a mass Of embonpoint. If Uriah
Heep had the slimness demanded by
clothes styles with a difference, Peck
sniff filed out his raiment admirably.
Falstaff, on the whole, would have
made poor risk for the post Of bank
teller, though it Is highly possible that
his pilferings would have been con-
fined to comparatively small sums,
enough to pay for the days sack and
venison.
One doubt occurs. If the fat mans
rectitude is due to contentment with
a capon-lined world, what are the
chances Of getting a fat man to swear?
This is perhaps the reason why 100 per
cent honesty is unattalnable. That
ideal can only be realized in a world
inhabited by men weighing over 1870
who cuss out the waiter.-New York

STOCK
WATCH FOR STOMACH WORMS
Sheep Ralsers Should Practice Every
Known Preventive Measure
and Use Remedy.
Prepared b. the Unltad states Dspar..

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture.)
With the approach Of warm weather
sheep raisers are warned by special
lists Of the United States Department
Of Agriculture to watch for stomach
worms and put into practice every
known preventive measure. The
stomach worm, they say, is one Of the
most serious parasites of sheep, Oc-
curing over almost the entire world
where there are sheep, cattle and 9TH
err suitable host animals. In the
United States it is most plentiful in
the South, where 1t is favored by
abundance Of warmth and moisture,
but 1t Is also quite common and seri-
GUS in the Middle West and in low,
wet areas throughout the entire coun-
try. 1t is present In smaller numbers
and does less damage In the high, dry
and cool areas Of the Rocky mountain
states.
The first things noticed about sheep
infested with stomach worms are dull
ness and lack Of thrift. Later the skin
becomes pale, as do the Innings Of the
mouth and eyelids, which is due to I'M
poverishment of the blood from the
bloodsucking habit of the worms. In
tested sheep also may have a swell
ing under the jaw, known as "bottle
jaw"
Stomach-worm infection is spread
by the droppings of infested sheep.
The eggs of the parasites in the drop
pings hatch out and the young worms,
which are microscopic in size, crawl
up grass blades and are swallowed by
sheep as they Craze. In the stomach
the worms become mature in about
three weeks. If the fourth stomach,
or rennet, Of an infested sheep or
lamb be examined soon after death,
the stomach worms can be seen
squirming about, slender, reddish in
color, about an inch long,

ease If used IN time, the specialists

For one thing, rigidly brought up,
strictly conventional John would never
take her back.
Shivering with the cold which pene-
trated her thin jacket, she noticed with
relief that the sinister shadow which
had logged her footsteps had evident
ly given up the idea that she was COM
ing tonight. Yet she cast anxious
glances over her shoulder until she
reached the shelter of the narrow door
way which opened at the foot Of the
bare flight of stairs.
Climbing them YEARLY, she opened
the door of her room. Striking a
match, she touched the tiny gas jet,
which gave off warm flicker Of light.
Yet, by its feeble flame, Emily saw
that which made her clutch her throat
in terror, and utter an involuntary
scream.
There at the table, his head buried
in his arms, his hat slipping from his
head, sat the man who had been
following her.
Almost paralyzed, she yet managed
to back noiselessly toward the door.
But, reused by her cry, the man at the
table lifted his head-and in his tired
eyes, his unshaven face, Emily saw
her husband.
"John,' faltered Emily, the color
which had left her face flooding II
again.
TITS me, Emily" said her husband
slowly. "You needn't be afraid. I've
been seeing you home nights for some
time. At first was very angry with
