1Of ELM Dr., LAKEPORT, Mi, s'I realize that I have reached the age (65) when one often requires fixing up. My digestion was not right and trouble with my Liver and Bowels caused considerable distress. Last fall, I began taking "Fruit-a- tives'' or Fruit Laxo Tablets", and after using them for short time, I could see that they were just what my system required. My Liver became active and improvement in every way was apparent.

TRIBUTE TO THE LEGION MEN
New Orleans Times-Picayune Praises Conduct of Visitors During the
 National Convention.

New Orleans is proud and glad to have had the opportunity to entertain the American Legion national conven- tion and heartily cOngratulates San Francisco upon Its capture of the honor for 1923. according to an edi- torial in. the Times-Picayune, a lead ing New Orleans newspaper. printed several days after the departure or the Legionnaires.
 "The Legionnaires as body earned the good opinions even of those few Orleanians who because of rumors Of misdoings at Kansas City were slight ly prejudiced against the gathering, the editorial states. Throughout American Legion week good humor and good order prevailed. The rare instances of minor rowdyism or ruffianSm served only as exceptions going to prove the general rule of splendid behayior-and of these ex- captions some. perhaps the majority, were chargeable to local hoodlums who took advantage of the Legion fes- tiyities to misbehave in the hope that their Offenses would be charged to the visitors account. In so large an as- sembly some impostors, crooks and evil-doers are almost invariably found but the careful work of the Legion officials and the local police simply restricted the activities of these un- desirables.
 ln, \; iiplr thnrn of course, a joyous abundance. New Orleans. with its carnival traditions, shared in the fun of 1t all and rejoiced in the hilarity which testified that the lads of the Legion were having a good time. Of wanton offense and of ma licious mischief, American Legion week was remarkably free The wish expressed by the Times-Picayune last Saturday morning-that the Legion naires would carry to their homes 'recollections of the convention as pleasant as those they leave with us came straight from the heart"
 In a previous editorial the Times Picayune stated:
 "The American Legion convention closed yesterday afternoon will be long and pleasantly remembered by New Orleans Accustomed as this city is to great conventions and i'm pressive parades. the Legion assem- ply and the inspiring review staged last Wednesday made a distinctive ap- peal. an impression of sturdy Ameri caniSm and militant DatriprjSm n0r soon to be effaced, and wholly favor able"
 And another editorial in the same newspaper reads:
 Their visit to us will lead, as we hope, to the return of many of these stalwart young Americans, 10 live and grow with us"

Days Review of
the New York
Stock Market
rRepubllcan A. p. Leased wlreJ

NEW YORK, Feb. 17.-Transac-
tions in the stock market today were
relatively moderate and lacked much
of their recent breadth. Dullness was
largely at the expense of values, lead
ers sustaining gross losses Of 2 to
points.
Gossip attributed the greater part
of the seaback to profit taking in
other quarters; the reversal was
credited to bearish aggressions.
Oils, steers, motors, chemicals and
related specialties were most reac-
tionary. Liquidation of Mexican Pc
troleum was the feature, attended by
familiar but unconfirmed rumors OF
adverse conditions in the Mexican oil
fields The stock closed at a net
loss Of SIS points. and Pan American
"A" and "B" shares lost 31s and 314
points respectively. United States
Steel cancelled only a fractionary
part Of it's steady advance, but inde-
pendent steels proved susceptible TO
reports in trade circles of impending
cuts in finished material. Equip
ments, OF which American Locomo-
tive was a conspicuous feature. were
not affected by the drive against
steels and United States Rubber made
a susceptible net gain in spite OF its
unfavorable showing for 1921.
The demand for rails was limited To
coalers, particularly Reading and De-
high Valley. Illinois Central was
sharply depressed on announcement
of a new preferred issue and trans
continentals and grangers were dull
and inclined to sag. Sales amounted
to 100000 shares.

CHANDLER OBSERVES
UNIVERSITY DAY WITH
SPEAKING PROGRAMS

CHANDLER, Feb. 17.-Universlty
day in Chandler Wednesday was a
decided success although very poorly
attended. There we're discussions
by able people which would have
been very beneficial TO the farmers
and fruit growers of this vicinity.
Supt. Fred p. Austin presided over
the meeting and gave a nice intro
duction of r. L, FTeeland of WASH
ington's great fruit growing district.
Mr.. Freeland gave one OF the
strongest talks on the fruit growing
possibilities Of the valley that was
ever heard here. He stated that
there should be an organization in
the valley to test different fruits and
select the kinds most adaptable. TO
the climatic conditions here. He gave
an outline of the best varieties to be
grown.
Mr., Freeland strongly impressed
that it did not pay to grow fruit to
anv extent unless one was familiar
with the financial part pertaining 10
profits and marketing. He said that
the market should deVelope now TO a
greater extent as the mines were
opening.
Bill Thompson, who is secretary of
the Lettuce association of Glendale,
gave a talk on the necessity Of a
strong organization to care for all
fruits and vegetables grown in the
valley. an organization that would
give the service needed to develop
this industry.
r. z, Thompson, poultry expert OF
the University OF Arizona, gave an
inportant talk on the poultry situa-
ton. He emphasized the fact that
there was a great need Of more hens
i'm the valley. He also showed how
the number of hens had fallen off in
the past three years and how they
we're fast being brought back.
Prof. c. r. Crider of the university
asked that people plant more useful
trees for shade. Such trees as the
olive, pecan, the sour orange and the
grapefruit made fine shade and pro-
duced something for the grower be-
side shade.

Marvin Wiley and r. Hoyat Nc

From the Chicago
Board of Trade

CHICAGO, Feb. 17-Sellers decid-
edly outnumbered buyers in the
wheat market most Of the time to-
day. lessened general confidence IN
higher prices being apparent. The
market closed heavy IS to 212 cents
net lower, with May $1.3712 to $l.37h
and July $1205s to $1.20&.
Corn finished 81 TO 1@1B cents
down and oats off q to u cents.
In provisions the outcome was 10 TO
20 cents advance.
Almost as soon as the wheat mar
ket opened, prices showed a tendency
to decline Downturns in foreign
quotations had a disturbing effect
both on owners of wheat and on
would-be purchasers. 1t soon became
evident that yesterdays persistent
efforts TO realize on holdings were be-
ing continued by numerous dealers.
In some quarters the desire was man
ifest to let go of May contracts and
to take July instead because of un-
favorable weather and crop reports
from the Southwest.
High winds and dust storms In
Kansas led to a vigorous rally IN
prices of wheat in the middle of the
session, but the effect on the market
failed 40 last and the closing was
about the days lowest lever, Win
May down more than 5 cents COM
pared with the top figures of yester-
day. Taken as a whole. the volume
of business was considerably reduced
from the big total that has been the
rule of late.
Corn and oats declined with wheat
and as a result of reports that the
Interstate commerce commission had
disapproved lower freight rates on
grain from Minneapolis to the East.
Something of an offset was found IN
figures showing 100000 more hogs on
farms than was the case a year ago
Relative scantiness OF offerings
made provisions average higher.
