Of local legislation, the real work of

has been tightening up of bolts and
the wheels will begin to turn faster
this week.
The House already has changed it's

is probable the Senate soon will see fit
to lengthen its business hours.
The important measures have not

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected.

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies in
an interview on the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
Iected is because kidney trouble is so
common to the American people. and the
large majority of those whose applica-
tions are declined do not even suspect
that they have the disease 1t is on sale

fine CROPS SURE
Farmers in Western Canada
JubiIant at Prospect.
Splendid Winter Weather Has Put the
Naturally Fertile Land in Splen-
did Condition, and Bountiful
Yields Are Assured.

what delightful winter we have
had, is an expression that could be
heard almost anywhere when the
topic OF the weather became the SUBJ
Ject OF conversation. Not only in the
Middle West and down east could
IL be heard, but also in the Far West.
up in the Canadian West There
the same remarkable features that
brought forth wonderful winter eX-
listed. Reports from all parts of the
country, from famed Medicine Hat i'm
Alberta to Winnipeg in Manitoba. in
dlcate that all through the winter
season very little cold weather was
experienced. In December. we read
mat golf playing had put into the dis
cara all ice sports, that farmers were
caught "red-handed" blowing their
helds. In January, the Alberta veo-
man got out his tractor and in his
Shlrt sleeves was seen preparing
ground for the 1921 crop. During
February, in saskatchewan. one
farmer narrowed fifty acres and
painted the seed. "Why. YES. of
course, in March," said an Iowa
farmer, who had just heard from his
son, who was looking after the West
erh Canadian farm, my boy writes
me they had some snow, and n few
cold dips, but what did that matter?
me cattle and the horses came
through the winter in better condition
IMAM they looked three or four months
ago. Grass was plentiful on the prai-
RES, the Stubble was rich and yalu-
able as food, and the straw stacks
ana groves proved ample for shelter"
spring Is now fully upon the West
ern Canada farmer, his machinery is
all IN shape for a springs work. and
he is looking forward to an excellent
crop year. Last fall there was q
splendid lot of moisture that perme-
ated the ground sufficiently to leave
perfect seed bed. Indications are
now that the crop will go in i'm the
condition required for successful ger
mination. Then, with the heightened
DAYS of May and June. the many
hours of sunshine that they bring. ac-
companied by showers of rain. and
with a soil of which there is none
richer nor more generous. there Will
be seen preparing for n ripening har-
vest the hundreds of thousands of
acres of wheat, oats barley, rye, al
faIta and corn that will make the
hearts of the Western Canada farmers
swell with pride as they reasonably
look forward TO an abundant harvest.
There is n great deal that can be
said in favor of the climate of West
ern Canada. The most important is
that those who live there, and have
IlVed In other countries, prefer it to
any they have experienced elsewhere
1t is true the winters as a rule are
colder than are those in countries
lying much farther south. but it is
also true that they are tempered by
dryness of the atmosphere that
makes lower temperature preferable
to that several degrees higher where
greater humidity prevails. Enerva-
ton and listlessness are unknown;
the air is bracing, but the cold is not
penetrating Then the summers and

labor. The army of laborers which we
expected 70 apply for the work did
not, however. materialize. On the
contrary, there was q distinct shortage
OF labor, and wages reached the high
est levels attained in the history OF
the country. In 1917, competent labor
could be secured for from 81 so to So
per day but the corresponding wages
in 1920 were from So to S5 for a short
er days work.
In proportion to this demand there
was also a pronounced scarcity of CON
Struction materials. Sand, gravel,
stone and cement. and materials com
monty used in road work increased in
price between 1917 and 1920 from 90
to 100 per cent. Naturally, these in
creases in cost were reflected in the
prices paid to contractors for road
work. Gravel roads increased from
S4,535 to $7,25O per mile; concrete
from $21. 165 to upward of $4,000 per
mile, and brick roads from S33, 900 to
$4,000 per mile

MORE GOOD ROADS BIG NEED
Will Increase Growing Popularity Of
Automobiles and Help Build
UP Communities.

To determine the average mileage
the automobile owner covers in Il
pleasure trip in the evening after
the days work is over, an inyestiga-
ton among $50 owners in middle
western city of around 100000 popu-
latiOn resulted in an average of 80
miles. Sixty-two per cent stated they
would make longer trips if the roads
permitted, 50 per cent stated they usu-
ally made their trips out into the
country.
From these figures It is easy to
see that more good roads will in
crease the growing popularity of the
automobile which will i'm turn help
to build up communities, relieving
congestion in the crowded cities, Gre

Primary Measures

No action has been taken on any Of
the several pending measures to abol-
iSh the statewide primary, and senti-
ment among legislators appears to be
divided as to just what course should
be taken. While the view seems to be
general that important revision, if not
straiSht-out abolition of the present
primary system is advisable. from
strictly business standpoint, there
seems to be growing belief that such
would not be wise, politically, at the
present time at least. One of the pri-
mary election bills introduced at the
preliminary session by Senator Floyd
Chapman, provides for a primary cleo
lion only in connection with the cleo.

Solemn Requiem
Mass Celebrated
For Famous Tenor
Thousands in Naples Pay
Homage to Enrico Caruso
Scenes of Extreme
Pathos Enacted.

Naples, Aug. 3.-(By The Asso-
siated ss.)-Sorrowing Naples
and Italy today paid tribute to the
memory of Enrico Caruso, the great
tenor, who died here early yesterday
morning. Thousands gathered at
the solemn requiem mass celebrated
at the Church of Madonna Della
Gracia, or stood uncovered. along
the streets leading to that edifice
while the funeral cortage passed.
In the choir which assisted in the
impressive ceremonies were many
men and women who have played
stellar roles on the operate stage.
Scenes of extreme pathos were en-
acted all day yesterday at the Hotel
Vesivus following the death of the
man popularity acknowledged to be
the premier tenor of his generation.
Neapolitans of every class stood in
line for many hours to file past the
bier of Caruso.
The body was clad in evening
clothes. At the dead tenor's side
were garlands of roses arranged per-
sonally by Mrs. Caruso.
The master singer, who had for
nearly a quarter of a century en-
acted roles in which death was an
unseen player, apparently was cogni-
zant of his critical condition follow
ing his sudden illness Monday. Just
before he sank in to the coma which
was the prelude to the end he said
to his son, Rodolfo:
Il feel very i'll. This time it will
be difficult to escape"

Red Organizers Organizers

In United States
Secret Headquarters Found in
Many American Cities
Renewed Activity Follows
Convention in n. Y.

Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Chicago, Aug. 3.-The reds of
America are quietly at work spread
ing propaganda among the working
men of the nation and attempting to
build up an organization patterned
after the nihilist system of Russia
The work is being done at the dircc-
ton of the reds of pestilence ridden
Russia from the headquarters of the
Third Internationale in Moscow.
Information of the activities of
the communists" in America, and
especially in Chicago, has just been
received from confidential sources,
following a complete investigation.
The methods employed by the organ
izers in charge of the work here are
also revealed.
One district meeting place of the
party was found within a block Of
the Gold Coast" the residence place
of the city's wealthiest. A score
more meeting places have been
found scattered throughout the city.
In most cases a room in board
ing house is used and the members
who attend the meetings are known
to their confederates only under as
sumed names. Only the organizer
who has carefully felt out his pros
pective ally. knows the true names
of the candidates. Upon passing in
spection and a vote of the other
members of the district, the new re-
cruit becomes full-hedged member
of the communist party of America.
Within the last 80 days the organ
ization work has been augmented
by the unity obtained following a
Joint convention between the united
communist party and the communist
party of America, which have ironed
out their differences and have united
under the common banner of giving
"all power to the workers." The
secret convention was held in New
York.
At the meeting. the united COM
munist party reported membership
OF 1927 organized in III under
ground groups. three of which are
in Canada. The communist party of
America reported a membership of
6,328. II
In the treasury of the former or
ganizatioa was $9,028 and in the lat
ter organization was $10,420. Since
February, 1921, 2,1S3,000 leaflets in
English and a large amount of lit
erature in many foreign languages,
have been distributed.
