Nine-tenths of all cases of stomach
trouble nowadays are caused by too much
acid. In the beginning the stomach it
self il not diseased, but IL this acid con-
dition is allowed to continue. the acid is
very likely to eat into the stomach walls
and produce gastritis with stomach ul-
GERS. This may render a radical surgical
operation necessary even to prolong life.
Therefore, an "acid stomach IL really a
dangerous condition and should be
treated seriously. The excess acid or
stomach hyperacidity can easily be neu-
tralized by Bisurated Magnesia taken in
teaspoonful doses, in glass Of water
after each smeal. Larger quantitiqssFnay

One hour and 90 minutes of each
business day-or one entire day a
weeks demanded of every able
bodied person in the United States
to maintain government, says Mr.
Babson. "That is the lesson of a
recent analysis showing that one
sixth of our national income goes for
taxes, federal, state and local. The
amount divides almost equally be-
tween national taxation and the ex-
penditure for state and local pur-
poses. The question is not, there
fore, one of any particular party
politics
This habit of getting the gov
ernment to do something about it,
is one of the most costly and waste
ful IDEAS that we Americans have
developed. 1t has grown upon us
since the war. We became accus-
toned to things then that would not
have had consideration before. Now
we are exceeded by one nation ,only,
Great Britain, in our cost of being
governed. There the unemployment
doles' and other legislation put for
ward by a stronger labor vote have
exceeded any thing attempted here
as yet. But this tendency must be
checked abruptly if American bus

which il faces over the next five to
10 years.

FO the first time in the valley his
tory, an exchange has passed the
1000 mark, according to Mr.. Ander.
son, and he believes FL Centre s
total will never again be below that
figure. Even with the usual numb
ber Of telephones removed during
the summer months, it is his opinion
that new subscribers will more than
offset this loss and that next year
will show another substantial gain
Ell Centre has 406 more telephones
than BrawIey ana 46S more than
Calexico.
The improvements contemplated
by the company are far reaching and
include two cord repcaters and see
tion of toll testbOard costing approx
imately $4,000. A cord circuit re.
peater is the apparatus that makes
possible highly satisfactory conver-
sation between distant stations. 1t
IS by reason of these repeaters that
distance as it affects the telephone
conversation is no longer a factor,
and with their installation, it will be
just rs easy for people in FL Centre
to hear conversation from the At
lantic coast as it is to telephone
from one part of this city to another.
Big Copper Circuits
In spite of the slight business de-
preci;tiOn that has existed in the
past, the telephone company realizes
mat 1t is but mOmentary and in an
ticipation of a continued increase in
business, is prepared to install two
additional copper circuits between
ri Centre and Los Angeles, via Nj
land, which will be established early
in the summer at cost of about
Sl6O,OO0. TO handle this additional
business, another section of long dis
tancc switchboard will be completed
before the busy season in the latter
part of the year, at cost Of $4,000.
The increased apparatus and facili-
ties will make it necessary to en-
large the building on State street
inns work will be started early this
year and will involve an expenditure
of about $4,000.
ITO care for what the company
believes to be assured growth in the
number of stations now served in III
Centre, said Mr.. Anderson, "it is
planned to make outside plant ex
tensions in the immediate future
consisting of extending underground
tconduit in both directions on Fiftf
and Seventh streets, in al. ;fbou
2OO0 feet of duet and the LAYING OF
about 2,400 feet of 600 pair cable
Aerial cable will also be placed in
various parts of the city, increasing
facilities and consisting of 5000
feet of % pair, 10,500 feet of so pail
and 5000 feet of 100 pair cable
This work, aggregating an expendi
ture of approximately $4,000 is
due to commence within few

Valley Growth Shown in Increase
in Telephones in Six Principal
Towns; Company to Spend $3.50, 900

Possibly no bettctr indication of
the comeback of Imperial Valley
and unlimited faith in its future
stability can be given than the an
nouncement yesterday by c. f.. An
derson, manager of the Pacific Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company, of
the increase in the number of tele-
phones throughout the valley and
the expenditure of nearly quarter
million dollars which the company
viii make the ensuing year, in order
to better the service between El
Centre and outside points.
An increase in the number of tele-
phones is good sign that business
as whole is improving, and, as Mr..
Anderson states, when a large cor
poration like the telephone com
pany is willing to spend such a sum
OF money in improvements, particu-
larlv after II slump period of two or
three years, it should greatly en-
courage those who have money in
vested in the community, or who are
making their living here.
Great Increase
Between January l, 1922 and the
same date this year, there was an
increase Of 2S2 telephones through
out the valley, distributed as fol
lows: FL Centre, So; Brawley, SO;
Calexico, 80; Holtville, rs; Imperial,

frnit, pomegranates, apricOts and

this ranch in commercial quantities.
Vegetables Pay
Early vegetables are started in
October, with radishes, turnips and
carrots. Green peas are marketed at
Christmas time. Tomatoes, peppers,
sweet corn, asparagus, cantaloupes
and watermelons follow in season.
One fourth acre of asparagus, nets
5000 each season. Several varieties
of luscious grapes, early and late,
extend the season from June to Oc-
tober, and for size and quality are
hard to equal, often weighing six
pounds to the bunch. This success
sion of fruits and vegetables brings
IN golden stream commensurate
with the outlay Of labor.
Jack Elster, another farmer i'm the
Iris district, paid for his 40-acre
ranch from the proceeds of his crops
OF little over year. This man is
no wizard of the soil, but his loca-
tion near the sand dunes in an al
most frostless belt enables him to
raise the delicate summer squash for
the market in February, and he mar
kets tomatoes in March. He set
out 1sl acres to grapes which made
n phenomenal growth the first year.
He planted five acres to alfalfa,
and has a number of acres in peas
and tomatoes. He has chickens, and
turkeys, and always, something
growing. These short sketches are
given to show what can be accom-
Pushed by one man in the wondr-
onsly fertile soil of the north end,

$4,000 PAY ROLL FOR
NEIHART MINING CAMP

Beginning of production by the
American Zinc, Lead & Smelling
company at it's Silver Dyke mines
in the Neihart district the last of
this month of the first of February,
viii mean the mining of 500 tons
of ore day and employment of
men resulting In payroll of about
$4,000 a month, according to III.
/. Young, of Mascot, Tenn, mana
ger of mines, who arrived in Great
Falls recently.
With production to begin within
the next 80 days, the American
Zinc, Lead & Smelling company
will have expended between $780,
900 and $50O,OOO ON the Neihart
properties, during five months OF
construction work and two years of
Development work. The mines and
mill, located three and half miles
from Neihart, represent the first
utilization of low grade ores of the
Neihart region. While Mr.. Young
said he could not speak definitely,
he said that he believed that the
success of the Silver Dyke opera
tons may mean the entry of the
American Zinc Lead & Smelling
company into other districts of the

Sam w. Weekes, secretary and
treasurer of the Montana Auto Fin

left for New York to close up final
details in transactions pending that
will launch the company on much
larger basis of operations.
The company has moved its former
offices from the Ford building to 410

BEST BANJOIST
is MONTANA BOY
NNhBLE FINGERS AND MUSICAL
SENSE WIN FAME FOR
NELSON HALL

Nelson Hall, son of Mrs. Sam
Stephenson of Great Falls, as a
member of the Yale university
glee, banjo and mandolin clubs,
has been attracting considerable
attention during the recent tour of
the clubs for his ability to play
the banjo. In virtually every city
he has been hailed as Zone of the
worlds greatest experts on the
banjo"
During their recent visit to St
Paul and Minneapolis, the members
of the three Yale clubs were guests
at many brilliant social functions.
Their concert at the Garrick theater,
st. Paul, was attended by an aud
fence that taxed the auditorium's ca
pacity and was heard all over the
northwest by radio.
In speaking of Hall and the coming
of the Yale organizations to that city,
the st. Paul Pioneer Press says:
Sleepy doesn't seem to be an
exactly fitting nickname to apply to
an alert expert on the banjo, or the
proper word to introduce an an
nouncement of an important social
and interesting musical event. Yet
advance notices are authority for it's
use. He is known as Sleepy Hall
and is the big feature of the Yale
1lee, Banjo and Mandolin clubs holt
lay concerts And the same
source informs the world that
Sleepy is the pet name of Nelson
Hall.
According to all reports, Mr..
Hall is the direct opposite of sleepy,
when 1t comes to playing the banjo
Is he is declared to be one of the
worlds great experts on that instru-

to Virginia City, where he was en-
ployed as a butcher.
He fired the salute when the Mon
tana territorial legislature opened in
the summer of 1866. The gun was a
howitzer and bacon sacks were used
as gun wadding. 1t made great
noise, Signalling the birth of a fu-
ture state of the American Union.
When he came to Deer Lodge
there were only couple of white
women here. Dancing was one of the
chief amusements, and everybody at
tended the balls, half breeds, whites
and Mexicans.
In 1868, together with his brother
Nicholas, Mic Beilenberg, he went
into the cattle business on Dempsey
creek, buying the old Prouse ranch,
his present home. In 1887, N. J.
Beilenberg sold out his interests in
the firm known as the Pioneer Cattle
and Investment company, but Charles
Beilenberg retained his share.
Since being appointed patriotic in
structor of the G. A. R. for Montana,
Mr.. Beilenberg has taken lively in
terest in things pertaining to his de-
partment. Innumerable pictures of
the great PATRIOTS, Washington and
Lincoln, and at least thousand flags
donated by him to schools all over
the state, attest to his energy.
He expects to continue this work
as long as he lives and also to visit
every G. A. R. post and relief corps
in the state.
He has not failed for several years
to attend the national G.. A. r. en-
campment, and carry a flag in the
parade. His many friends join with
him in the hope that he will be
among the very last of the old SOL
diers to gather at the national meet
ing, and that be will attend for many
wears To come

ment. Every Yale alumnus knows
Hall, either personally or by repu-
tation, and all are looking forward
to this opportunity to hear his won
derful playing.
ut is said that Hall is kept busy
turning down offers for appearances
and that, notwithstanding his uni
versity work, he has been prevailed
upon to make number of phono-
graph records and has from time to
time accepted some few select con-
cert engagements"
