had been in this miserable condition
for three years without being able to
find relief.
81 overheard a man in the drug
store praising Karnak, and started
taking the medicine myself, and be-
lieve me, I improved right now. I
began to eat hearty, and every trace
of that indigestion, gas, biliousness
and stomach trouble left me, and I
could go through a days work and
not tire.
"The Karnak Pills which I took
with the Karnak, rid me of the con-

to tell everybody else I can what a

to get it for you from his Wholesale

and a pair of blankets. UndiscOur-
aged by this experience, Father GiOr-
da again set out for the eros Ventres,
and at length reached them unhind-
cred.
The first site chosen for the mis-
sion under the new management, was
on the Marias, but the Indians we're
dissatisfied with it, preferring to have
it located near the Missouri. 1t be-
ing desirable to comply with their
wishes, the Fathers again set out to
look over the country, and find, if
possible, a location which would be
mutually satisfactory. This was at
length discovered on Sun river at
Fort Shaw. Again some log houses
were built, and the Indians began to
take up land there.
While the teaching of religion &C
cOrding to the Catholic concept was
the main purpose of missionary work
by the JesUits among the Indians,
they recognized the Importance Of in
structing them along other lines,
which would fit them for the newt
able--the abandonment of their no
madic manner of life, if they were to
survive, or their destruction. From
the very first, they were taught how
to cultivate the land. Father DeSmet
made the long journey to Fort Col
vile to buy grain for the St. Ignatius
Mission, where the Indians were but
just learning that seed buried in the
ground would be r~esUrTected in q
manifold form.
In 1854 Father Ravalli left St. Ig-
natius, and was assigned to st. Pet
er's. His coming proved to be a god.

Over $500 Bales Gin
ned, With Hidalgo
County Leading

The heavy rains, combined with
root rot and the denredations of
the leaf worm and boil wecvil will
materially reduce the Valleys cot
ton total" was the statement made
last night by H. r. Boyd Of the Val
iey Gin Company. Mr.. Boyd stated
that the acreage planted 70 cotton
in the Valley would. under normal
conditions. have produced approXi-
mately l75.000 bales. but estimates
that the yield will not exceed 10000.
Approximately 5000 bales have
been girned in the Valley thus far.
Mr. Boyd stated. Owing TO the
rains which have delayed opening
cf the bolls and also preventing
picking, the ginnings are far below
the totals for the same period last
year However. they are approx
matelv the same as in 1924, Mr.. Boyd
stated.
Owing to the fact that number
of gins have been installed the
past season. an accurate report is not
available. The Valley Gin Company.
however, has sufficient reports TO
make a fairly accurate estimate on
ginnings. In Hidalgo county the
cotton is maturing slightly earlier
than in other Valley counties. and
that county now has a good lead.
In all the Valley counties there
has been a big increase in the cot
ton acreage this year, and both
WilIacy and Starr are expected 70
show material increase over their
1925 totals. Heavy rains and leaf
worms have damaged their cotton
20 some extent. but much of the
damage in the unirrigated sections
is due 10 root rot.
