COAL SHORTAGE HITS FARMERS
Threshing Machines in Southwest Tied
Up Account Lack of Fuel.

Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. IA
shortage of coal suitable for thresh-
ing purposes is causing a tie-up of
threshing machines in this section.
Most of the threshing coal in the
wheat belt comes from the Kansas
coal field, and the strike there had
shut the mines. There was almost a
riot at EllinwooG when a car of coal
was received by the Farmers Milling
company. Twenty-eight farmers were
there with wagons awaiting to unload
the coal,

N TUCH has been said of the enormous
MI stocks of gasoline in storage, but
ANA very little has been said of this. stor-
age as it compares to the number. of cars
in commission.
Recent statistics compiled by the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute comparing the
number of motor cars in commission with
the amount of gasoline in storage, show
that there was less gasoline per car In

Average 1913 to 1921

Notwithstanding the fact that the crude oil
production is very heavy at this time, the
rapid increase in the production OF auto
mobiles and other automodve machinery
has created a demand which already IS
greater than the increased supply.
The current output of the several large
refneries of the Standard Oil Company
Qndian0 supplemented by the reserves
now on hand, enables the Company to
guarantee that the public shall have a
steady, dependable supply of Red Crown
Gasoline at its command.
Because of its size, its progressive and
efficient management, its ample resources,
and unrivaled facilities, the Standard Oil
Company Qndiana) is able to provide the
needful amounts of petroleum products to
supply the vast demands made uponit. It's
manufacturing facilities are planned to
anticipate these needs years In advance
and always are ready for service. Its con-
stantly expanding distribution system is
growing as the need for this service grows.
Even in the remote corners of the 10
states served by this Company, the dark
green tank wagon is familiar and
welcome visitor.
No matter how the production Of crude oil
has fuctuated, no matter how urgent the
demand nor how limited the supply,
motorists will recall that not once in the
most stringent emergencies Of the past
has the Standard Oil Company Qndiana),
through any fault of its own, failed to sup
ply their essential needs. This Company
has every confidence that its future record
of service will be equally satisfactory.

AFRICA MAY PRODUCE COTTON

JOHANNESBURG, Dec. 2S.-(A
PD-The cotton industry in S,~
Africa is rapidly coming to the notice
OF the world and already it is supply
ing visible percentage of the cotton
used in cloth manufactured in Eng
land. Experts estimate that there are
four million acres of good soil avail
able in the Transvaal Swaziland and
Zululand for cotton growing which
could be made to yield n crop worth
SIS, 100000 annually. and at the same
time solve the unemployment problem
of the country.
The possibilities of cotton growing
are evidenced by the fact that in 1909
the crop totalled 1900 pounds of lint,
while in 1921 it was estimated at o.
600, Geo pounds
Practically ALI of the crop is being
shipped to England, where it finds n
ready market because of its fine tex
ture.

VIII Celebrate Opening Of
Ferry At Boulder, Oregon

A. B. Strait, who now has his ferry
in full operation across the Colum-
bia river between Alderials, Wash,
and Boulder, Ore, is planning to Gel
citrate the event BY a big basket din
ner to be given in the willow grove
on the Boulder side Of the river on
Sunday, May IS.
The people from both sides of the

ner, and it is expected that there will
he a large number present. A Spe-
oial invitation is extended to Hepp-
ner and Morrow county people TO
drive down to Boulder on Sunday
and participate in the feed and other
ceremonies. Well filled baskets may
be brought along, but it is under
stood that whether this is done or
not there will be plenty Of good eats
provided BY the people of both Boul-
der and Alderdale. The object of
the picnic is to celebrate the opening
Of the ferry, and it will be possible
for people over this way to cross
over TO the Washington side ard get
acquainted with the good people
there and take run over the good
roads leading out from Alderdale
into the Horseheaven and Mabton
sections.
A trip down Willow creek high
way to the Junction and then a short
run up the Columbia highway will
bring YOU to Boulder. One Of the
big features of the feed will be a
salmon bake-lots Of good, fresh
salmon, properly prepared, will add
materially to the many other good
things in the line of edibles that will
be spread before the visitors, and
having been there on a previous oc-
casion, the editor of this paper can
vouch for the many good things that
the people of the Alderdale COM
munity can set before their guests.

are given a welcome invitation to
attend the church services. Now that
we are busy with the spring work
and it is vacation time, we want to
remember that there are no vaca-
tons in our worship and service for
God. To be too busy for the worship
of the church or to go on a vacation
from the Lords work is to go away
and forget God. BY so doing you
will grow weak and sickly spiritually
and you are very much in danger of
letting your spiritual life die out.
Take time to be holy. The church is
open for you and welcomes your
coming.

paper under his eyes, pointing at the
paragraph which had attracted atten-
ton, with one finger, "What do you
make out of that, old man?"
The other, rather sober-faced, and
slow of speech, read the advertisement
word by word, with no change of ex-
preston.

joke, or some scheme on. Why? In

his discharge from the army had left

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
1t is that so many products that are ex
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is PLAINTIFF article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to 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, "Pake for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root,
preparation I have 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.

verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
