MRS. DAVIS RECEIVERS STRENGTH

The following statement contained
in a letter from Mrs. Alice Davis OF
jamestown, n. Y. should bring hope
to other women who are in the same
condition she was. She says, Il was
nervous and weak with pains in my
back, no ambition, and utterly dis
couraged, and could not sit up all
the time. Lydie E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound restored my health
and strength so l am now running a

Lydie f. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound is pre-eminently successful in
overcoming such troubles and it will
pay any suffering woman to try it.

The utmost in
car Value

which it excels any rival car.
That is why, in the fine-car field,
the Studebaker leads. The demand
has almost trebled in the past three
years. These cars have become the
sensation of Motordom. On some
of these models we have never yet
been able to meet the demand.
We spend money! lavishly. We
build without regard to cost. But,
in our quantity production, we still
bring costs to bottom.
You should learn what these things
mean to you before you buy car.

THREE INCH RAIN DRENcHEs
PHILLIPS COUNTY

Approximately three inches of rain
during the past week has fallea in
this part of Colorado and thoroughly
drenched the land when it was most
hee6ed. Not only was this part Of
Colorado drenched. but the rain was
general in Nebraska and Central
Colorado.
The two weeks prior to the rain
had been diseouraging to the farmers
for the ground was dry and in some
places it was useless to plant corn.
Also the wheat was beginning TO
show the effects of dry weather, But
now. with plenty of moisture, the
land will fairly bloom. Corn will get
a good start and there is almost
enough moisture to insure a wheat
crop. Phillips county now has the
excellent prospects for thriving
start of all crops and nothing short
of extraordinary weather conditions
will prevent another bumper corn
crop. Wheat is far advanced and has
not been injured to any great extent.
Watch Phillips county thrive.

HOW MANY KERNELS OF CORN
WILL A ROOSTER EAT:

This question puzzled Holyoke
people last week when C. Mcwry,
hardware dealer offered prize boxes
for the six nearest gussers as to the
number of kernels of corn Il certain
rooster which had not been fed for
&c hours would eat in the course of a
half hour. Last Saturday evening
at the Mowry store.
That rooster was a big healthy
one from w. a. Boards flock-and he
had a healthy appetite after diet
of only water for thirty,six hours.
There were hundreds of guesses
turned in and they were almost as
varied as they were numerous.
Many thought that the rooster would
not touch the corn at that hour in the
day and under the gaze OF a crowd of
people. But that paticular fowl WAS
not in the least concerned with tie
time OF the day o. was he timid or
bashful about displaying hls table
manners, aud fell upon the cora ike
duck upon feast OF Juns bugs.
A coupe hundred kernels OF corn
were counted out and at the appoint.
ed hour thrown into his pen. lie
promptly smacked his lips and went
10 work. The first course vanish
ed quickly and another hundred ker
nels were served him. These vanish.
ed and he caekled for more. Two
men were put TO work shelling corn
to keep Mr.. Rooster eating. Not
until he had deyoured $50 kernels
did he fool his appetite waning and
dobtless he would have pL, away
a couple hundred more Eornels had

sim unsatisfied when he was taken
away In spite OF the fact that his
capacity was limited.
