German Cotton Mills BUSY.

German cotton mills were operating
at So per cent capacity at the begin
ming of the year with twice as much
raw cotton on hand as at this time
last year, according to official statis-
tics issued.
The outlook for this year was called
''problematical" in view of the slump
in business during the last few
weeks, which followed the preceding
drop in the value of the mark.
The mills operated at 20 per cent
capacity during 1921, says the report,
which adds that there We're $4,000
bales on hand at Bremen at the close
Of the year.

Il You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best


Have you ever stopped to reason why
u il that 90 many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, ali at once drop out
Of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a. medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says ''Take for
example DR.. Kilmer,s Swamp-Root, a
preparation kave sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify
No other kidney remedy has 80 large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony ofAthousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
80 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.

Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address

COWS LIKE NICE WARM DRINK
Animals Will Not Consume Needed
Amount Of Water When 1t is
Bitterly Cold.

Do not permit your cows to drink
ice water is the admonition of E. A.
Hanson, dairy extension specialist at
University farm. "Cows will not drink
the needed amount of water when it is
cold" says Mr.. Hanson. IF the stalls
are not provided with water buckets,
place a tank heater In your tank. It.
is far cheaper to heat the water with
coal and corn cObs in the tank heater
than with corn fed to the cows"

HOW CHARCOAL IS MADE
Method Of Burning Is Much the
Same, No Matter Where the
Process Is Carried On.

The usual method Of making or
burning" charcoal is to build up a
cone-shaped pile Of wood, about twelve
feet in height and ten to forty feet in
Misunderstanding a central hole OF
chimney; then to burn it from above
downward, and from the outside in
ward The trees are cut down in
winter and should be fairly dry. The
wood is built up with the bark out
ward, the largest pieces being placed
furthest inside, and a covering Of
turf, or of charcoal dust and soil, is
placed over the whole, leaving holes
at the sides of the bottom for air.
The first three or four days bring out
the moisture onto the cover. The
openings around the base are then
covered. and holes are made about
halfway up. When the smoke ceases
to issue from these, they are closed
and other holes are made below. Tar
products, which collect when the
charcoal is nearly burned, are re-
moved by means of pipes or cutters.
When the air-holes cease to omit
fame and smoke they are covered
and the pile is allowed to cool for
two or three days Then the charcoal
is drawn" and any pieces still burn
ing are quenChed with water or sand.

LOVED ALL FEATHERED FOLK
Audubon's Name immortal Because
OF He Splendid Work for Amer
loan Native Birds.

John James Audubon, an American
naturalist and bird lover, who did per
haps more than any other man to in
terest Americans in their native birds,
was born in Meadville, La, Of French
parents IN 1850 He studied In
France In 1798 he settled near Phil
adelphiu. where he lived for ten
years. devoting himself to the study
of birds. Later he spent considerable
time in the West wandering through
the woods in close touch with his
feathered friends. In 1926 Audubon
went to England, exhibiting his bird
drawings, which he finally published
in work containing 435 colored
plates of birds the size of life, entitled
THE Birds Of America" A copy of
this complete work today Is worth a
small fortune.
On his return to America Audubon
lahored on an illustrated work, The
Quadrupeds Of America Audubon
never instituted any movement for the
preservation of birds, for in his day
much of the country was wild. and
1t looked as though there were no
danger Of birds ever becoming extinct.
1t was his genuine love for the feath-
cred folk that caused the Audubon
society to be named for him.
The Audubon society has done much
to prevent wanton destruction and to
create sentiment against the wear
ing OF birds and feathers on millinery.
1t is largely due to Audubon societies
throughout the country that large
tracts of ground have been set apart
as bird reservations. The national or
fee of the organization Is In New
York city

travelling In Nevada. He had a good
deal Of money with him, and one night
he put up at very primitive hotel
In the wilds. The landlord of this
hotel looked IKE a brigand, and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear.
Nothing, however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with a re-

a lonely one, and on toward noon, In
q Wild and desolate spot. three des-
peradoes fell on him, emptled his va.

the landlord was at the bottom of this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
to notify the authorities. But he had
only gone a mile or so when he met

small packet. Pinned to the packet

WANT VIEW OF WEALTHY
Visitors to New York More Interested
In Multimillionaires Than in
Architectural Attractions.

The biggest attraction in New YORK
Is the multimillionaire. Sightseers
from the hinterland who crowd Fifth
avenue buses are not half so interested
In such spectacles as the Metropolitan
Museum of Art, the great railroad ter
minal stations, the Woolworth build
ing and other skyscrapers, the long
cxpanse Of water front, with its great
sea craft, the palaces along the worlds
greatest and most gorgeous thorough
fare, or the rabble under the nitrogen
lamps of Broadway as they are in get
ting a first-hand, intimate view Of the
great captains Of industry and finance
So say the men that whirl these
sfghtseers over and across New York
By day and by night.
Sightseeing buses pig the financial
district, it is true, but the conductors
are as ignorant of who's who down
around Wall street as their passen-
gers from Oshkosh, Alfalfa Center OF
Deer Trail, but Wall street is the de-
nand Of the passengers, nevertheless,
and when the sightseeing buses reach
Wall street they invariably discharge
at least so per cent of their cargo,
which goes abroad to see the sights
Cor itself.
The sight of a Vanderbilt or an AS
tor would repay most of these sight
seers, say the bus conductors. A 1ose
up Of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., might
cause stoppage of traffic, they de-
clare, and a glimpse of J. Pierpont
Morgan would fix New York irrevo-
cably in their minds-New York Sun
