Mrs. Sarah Barrett, IOS union Ave, says: Occasionally when a cold settles on my kidneys I begin to suffer with severe backaches. Rheumatic pains bother me and at times I get dizzy. At such times I use Doan's Kidney Pills, getting them at Nichols Drug store and I have yet to see that a few fail to quickly remove the trouble.

FARMER AND MERCHANT

Great work is being done in Gallatin county
through the Joint Committee on County Affairs
This organization, composed of members repre-
senting all the commercial clubs of the county
get together once a month and discuss the many
needful activities for the improvement of con-
ditions generally over the county. The organiza-
tiOn does things and has worked out some very
valuable results.
The work Of the committee consists, to a
great extent, Of providing the means for i'm
proving the condition of farming and stock grow
ing and to devise methods whereby the producer
may be assisted in securing more for his products.
The main feature of the workings of the club is
to help the farmer in his ever day work and to
lend him the assistance needed to bring about
better marketing conditions for him.
in the welfare of the farmer was shown at the
in the welfare of the former was shown at the
meeting just held at Willow Creek. The matter
of grain handling expense to the farmer was
brought up for consideration and the members
present were of the opinion that there should be
some reduction in the present charge. COM
mittee of one was appointed to attend the meet
ing and hearing, held at Helena last Monday by
! the Agricultural Commissioner and the inStru-
ctions given were to do everything possible to
! secure a ruling to reduce the present charges.
The present charges are considered to be excessive
by the farmers and they have asked for re-
duction.
! There was very thorough discussion of the
potatOe growing situation in Galatin county at
the Willow Creek meeting. A man of acknow-
ledged experience and understanding of the con-
ditiOn was present and gave very clear state
ment of the present condition. He also explained
the method used in other sections to bring the
potatoe growers better prices. Marketing potato
es was described and. the necessity of careful
selection of seed, the confining of the growers
to not more than two varieties, the best selling
varieties, and all the other details.
The Joint Committee by unanimous vote
decided to get behind the movement to improve
the present condition Of growing and marketing
IpOtatOes and q committee was appointed to assist
in organizing an association among the growers
All this work is being done by the business men
Of the cities of the county, and the time anC
money they are eXpending is for the benefit. Of
the whole Gallatin county. It is working with
the Farm Bureau and should be one of the best
means Of bringing about a much closer business
and social relationship between the man in towr

RETAIL SALES AS A GUIDE
New York Journal Of Commerce)

(NeW York journal OF COmmerce)
Many of the current assertions about the
extent of unemployment and the consequent
injury to the purchasing power of the public the
substantial truth of which is too often taken for
granted, are shown to be gross exaggerations of
existing facts by reliable reports on the volume
of retail sales the country over. The regular
monthly report for July on the state of retail
trade compiled by the federal reserve board and
appearing in another column of todays issue of
this paper is an excellent example of this fact.
The volume of sales during July, measured in
dollars, is but IS per cent less than that of July
1920 Prices have beyond doubt fallen at least
to similar eXtent-probably in the stores in
cluded in the survey the decline has been measur-
ably greater. The actual amount of goods NOV
ing over the counters it is reasonable to infer is
therefore as great as if not greater than last
year. Nor is there anything especially new in
these returns On the contrary, substantially the
same condition of affairs has been regularly re-
vealed each month.
There is, of course, some variation from sec
tiOn to section, but certainly no well defined
tendency is discernble toward worse conditions
IN Industrial centers, where unemployment would
first make itself felt The houses included in the
list 1854 in alp are department stores for the
most part in the larger centers, and may not for
that reason be fully representative of retail trade
as whole But the figures are nevertheless
rather convincing evidence that both unemploy-
ment conditions and the decrease in purchasing
lpower have been exaggerated in many current
statements.

NEW FIELD OF REFORM

In an era when all kinds of uplift and reform
institutions are lifting The fallen and more or
less depraved by means OF state appropriations,
nothing has been done for shoplifters. Why not
treat this form of petty criminal maina as other
crimes are being treated as kind Of disease of
the fingers. Some people are born and reared so
that their hands cannot keep off tempting things,
put on such wonderful displays in department
stores that they are melted to steal? A survey
should be ordered by the legislatures and perhaps
the discovery could be made that on top of one
out of ten being feeble-minded, one out of ten
may be Gght-fingered and have uncomfortable
digits.

AMERICAN AID vALOREM VALUATIONS

fight is being made in the present Con-
gress to revOutionize our method of levying ad
valOrem tariff taxes In the past, these taxes
have been based upon the cost of the goods in
the country of origin as fixed by the consular in
voices. 1t is now proposed to base the tax upon
the average value of the imported commodity,
in America, as fixed by the open market, where
such goods are ordinarily sold or offered for sale
in the usual wholesale quantities. 1t is intended
that such valuation shall be fixed by the actual
and fair market value of the goods in the United
States, independently of any artificial fluctua-
tons
This plan, called American valuation, has the
support of such experts as Secretary Hoover,
Customs Judge Marion De Vries, and multitude
of representative American business men at the
head of large industries. A little thought will
show the Justice and feasibility of the plan.
Granting that the object of a protective
tariff is to protect local industry against unfair
competition Of cheap foreign labor and that the
object of any tariff tax should be to give equal
treatment to all similar imports of whatever
origin it viii readily be seen that American valu-
alton IS the only fair plan. If a certain article
can be made in Germany for 81, and in England
for 50, and the ad valOrem tariff tax is 80 per
cent, the German article would pay 30 cents tax
while The identical English article would pay go
cents tax. There IS no justice in that It dis
eliminates in favor of the countries having the
cheapest labor and the most deprecated money
exactly IN proportion to that differential. Thus
the more stable country suffers, not only the
penalty of its own stability, but also the penalty
Of q higher tariff tax.
It has been pointed out that this, in reality
constitutes violation Of some of cur interna
tiOnal treaties. Some nations have treaties with
us containing the most favored nation clause
This means that the treatment guaranteed tC
that country in any matter Of Interpreting oul
laws shall be as favorable as that which is grant
ed to the most favored nation in that respect
Under such q treaty, England would have right
to claim as low tax on her imports as that ap
piled to similar imports from Germany, or any
where else. This certainly would be just, but i
would create interminable confusion under tn,
present ad valorem plan. It would turn tn
whole system into chaos
The chief argument that has been advances
against American Valuation is by importers, VIII
claim that it would deprive them of any certain
method Of estimating their tax in advance, an
thus reduce their business to a gamble
While there is some merit in that argument
it is not sufficient to outweigh the obvious ad
vantages Of the other plan. This plan is fair, No
only to American business interests, but also t
all importers, as it places them on the same basis
The tax in other words, would be fixed by dt
finitely ascertained local conditions, and not b
different and vary..z foreign conditions.

TEMPORARY SURRENDER TO CAPITALISM

The soviet's surrender to capitalism is only
temporary, although it may last 10 to 20 years,
according to pamphlet by Nicolai Lenine, entitled
''The Organization of Industry" copy of which
is received from Moscow. 1t says capitastc prin-
ciples must precede socialism for the present, and
communism be left out of account entirely
Capitalism must be restored by giving con-
cessions and allowing old industrial chiefs to re-
sumo work." it continued. 'This new private
capitalism will gradually be converted into state
capitalism in ten or twenty years."

Harvard INDUCES in Hard
Scrimmages With Scrubs
Gets Three Touchdowns and
Kicks Field Goal.

Special Despatch to THE NEw YORK HTsALp.
CAMBRIDGE. Mass. Oct 1S.--There was
some hard football for the Harvard grid
iron warriors this afternoon, the coaches
sending the first string through br.e.,
forty-five minute battle with the scruba
with no let up in preparation for the
game with Penn State Saturday The
varsity's work was satisfactory, in view
of the loose playing in the Georgia game,
tha backs holding on to the ball and the
regulars making three touchdowns and
field goal.
Two of the touchdowns were made at
the close Of long drives up the field ant
the third resulted from forward pass
by Pfaffman. Pfaffman also kicked
twenty-five yard field goal. Churchill
after the regulars twice had been held
up. each time missed drop kick for the
scrubs crossbar. The first teams de-
fence was strong. the scrubs making
only one first down and this at the start
of play.
There were two changes on the line
this afternoon. Owing to lameness Tier
ney was kept out and his place at tackle
taken by Ladd, 1876 pound llneman,
who showed considerable promise until
hurt fortnight ago. Janin. left fielder
on the team last fall. was at right end.
He IS fast. but has not played much
football.
