PRICES AND PROSPERITY.

An optimistic view or the business
outlook is taken by the Armour Mag
azine in it's March issue. One of the
most spectacular developments of the
past month it says. has been the rap
id increase in the price of all classes
of livestock. with hogs and sheep
making the most pronounced ad-
vances. Quite contrary to the expec-
tations of sixty days ago, hogs are
selling at more than $40 a hundred
weight, and as such, are providing for
the farmer a most profitable medium
for marketing heavy SURPRISES Of
corn at returns that average about
double what he could get for his corn
as cereal Cattle also have advanced.
tho the advance has not been so
marked as in the case of other live
stock
OF almost equal interest, it is point
ed Quits the rise in the market value
of wheat, May quotations being in
the neighborhood of dollar and n
half. and with 81 wheat looked fo~-
ward to by some of the more bullish
elements in the market. Corn also
felt the general impetus of the buy
ing movement and moved upward in
sympathy with other grains. despite
the fact that much has been said
about the public's being unable to alb
sorb the quantities of that cereal now
on hand.
"All of these things says the
ma gazine. ''have served to strengthen
the financial position of the farmer.
That is a particularly significant hap
pening. inasmuch as it comes at a
time when the farmer is about ready
to go into the market to buy his
spring supplies. and to arrange for
the production for the coming sea-
son. The last thirty days have seen
an increase Of seven hundred million
dollars in the value of farm crops
A large part OF that increase is going
to find its way into trade channels
and It will be as new blood to the
rather anemic manufacturing indus
tries Of the country"
The conditions referred TO by Ar
mour mark a repetition Of market
history. When prices are advancing.
business Is good and the country pros
pers; when prices are falling business
is stagnant and people feel discour-

Just FOLKS
WHEN You've GOT A COLD.
BY EDGAR A. GUEST


You can't enjoy the music when your eyes
are flaming red,
You can't enjoy the singing for the buzzinG
in your head
The sunbeams may be dancing all about
you on the floor
And Mister Opportunity be standing at
But YOU have no wish for glory and you've
lost the love of gold.
When your bronchial tubes are wheezy and
you're suffering from a cold.
You can't be very happy when you're forced
to cough and sneeze.
There is nothing that is pleasing in the
things that ought to please;
Your dinner may be dainty and your food
exactly right.
But there's nothing on the table that can
tempt your appetite,
And you cannOs start chuckle when a
funny tale is told,
Life is Just one dismal burden when you've
got a rotten cold
Your friends may throng about you. but
your thoughts are far away,
And your cold seems more important than
the things they have to say;
Tho there's comfort at your fireside. there
is none for you 10 know
And you slip thru chills and fever to the
deepest depths of woe
Life may have thousand blessings, fer
its joys are manifold
But you're doomed TO gloom and torment
when you're suffering from a cead-

Municipal bonds amounting to more
than a million dollars were registered
with the state auditor Monday. Mean
time the advocates of an amendment
to the federal constitution which
would make such securities taxable
seem to be making little progress in
that direction. The bulk of these
bonds hear interest at the rate of *
per cent. If they were subject to tax
alton the rate probably would be dou-
BILE that amount, which would mean
that the citizens of the municipalities
issuing the bonds would. pay the tax.

When the stomach is sour and

poisonous gas that diStends the

heart causing severe pains and
oftentimesN dangerous palpitation.

Worth. J. A. Jacobs, of Chatta-

not get good nights rest but
before he had taken his first bot
tie entirely up he was greatly re-
Heved and little later became
entirely free from the pain of in
digestion and stomach trouble;
his bowels were perfectly regular
and all of his nervousness and
sleeplessneSs gone. He could eat
whatever he wished without pain
or discomfort and felt like new
man. Most druggists sell Merry
Worth at ono dollar a bottle and
all are authorized to give the
money back if you do not receive
satisfactory encouragement from
the first bottle. It is always on
