Mrs. r. c. Wilcox, arrested here

El Centre and BraWley, was being
escorted to the county Jail from the
police station by Gillett.
The officer opened the door of the
patrol wagon in front OF the county
Jail, expecting the prisoner to step
sedately out. Instead she got run

gun in the first scuffle, but got UNI

Sweeten Acid Stomach
This Pleasant Way

When people experience distress
two hours after eating-suffcr from
heartburn, gas. indigestion-nine
times out Of ten it's excess acid that's
causing their trouble.
The best way-the quickest way to
correct this Is with an alkali. And
Phillips Milk of Magnesia is an alkali,
in the harmless, most pleasant and
palatable form. It's the form physi-
clans prescribe; which hospitals use;
which millions have come to depend
upon in over so years of steadily in
creasing use.
A spoonful Of Phillips Milk Of Mag
nesia in a glass of water neutralizes
many times it's volume in excess acid;
and does i; at once In five minutes,
the symptoms of excess acid disappear.
To know this perfect way is to be
through with crude methods forever.

FARM STATISTICS
GIVEN IN REPORT
BY CENSUS BUREAU
Figures Show Number of Farms
Decreasing in BurIeigh and
Morton Counties

Burleigh county has 1888 farms
and Morton county has 1851, accord
ing to data compiled by the federal
census bureau and released for pub
LEGATION Thursday.
In each county the number Is a re-
duction from those recorded by pre-
vious counts, Burleigh having had
1875 in 1920 and 1,245 in 1925 while
Morton had 1910 in 1920 and 1873 In
1925.
Acreage under cultivation reached
new peaks, however, as the size OF the
average farm increased. In 1870 Bur-
leigh county had 759 1852 acres under
cultivation and the average farm had
1923 acres. In 1925 these figures had
fallen to 647, 587 and 520.2 acres per
farm but in 1880 the record showed
856 1888 acres under cultivation ana
64O.5 acres in the average farm.
In 1920, Morton county had 1885,
1873 acres under cultivation; IN 1925
the figure was 1,036,66 and in 1880
it was 1,124,4 30. Acres in the average
farm were 569.7. 553.5 and COTS, re-
spectively, for the periods mentioned.
The value Of land and buildings
dropped sharply from 1920 to 1925 but
increased during the last five : year
period. Bureligh county figures were
1921 800, $14,056,3 01 and SIS .a44 $50.
respectively, while Morton county
showed SIS, 220.548, $20.825, 21C and
$22, O98, POT for the same period.
The same trend holds In the aver
age value Of land and buildings. Bur.
leigh county figures being S16,078.
$11, 200 and $11 ,9l7 while the Morton
county figures are $4,000, $l1,il9 and
$11 ,939.
The average value per acre. how
ever, has dropped steadily. Burleigh
county figures being SOIL, $21.H ana
1881 and Morton county figures be-
ing $23.18, $1,000 and $19.65.
The percentage Of acres farred by
tenants is much higher In Bvrleigh
than in Morton, the records show, al
though the percentage Of tenantry
has increased in about the same pro-
portion since 1920 in each county.
Data for 1920 show 1,048 Burleigh
county farms operated by owners. IL
by managers and 314 by tenants, with
the acreage farmed placed at 582.074.
1880 and 1888, 138, respectively.
In 1880. however, there were 8lO
owners, seven managers and 521 ten
ants farming 558,086, l6,404 and 282,-
443 acres respectively.
In 1920. Morton county had 1,57e
farm owners, IL managers and 321
tenants, farming 907,953. 1880 and
ICE, 9O5 acres, respectively.
BY 1880 this situation had changed
to 1856 owners, five managers and
400 tenants, farming 871 Zig, 1850 and
243,964 acres, respectively.
In each county, the increase in the
size of the farms is largely due to TIT
acquisition of land by farm operator

That diversification has, IN TIN

CHICAGO, July 22.-In the

What's in Fashion?
Dresses for Outdoor Bridge

NEW YORK. July 22.-Many q
4 Y hostess is finding it pleasanter
to stage her summer afternoon
bridge party in the yard under the
trees or on the awninged terrace or
the breezy porch.
And fine idea it is. Everybody
can keep cool-which is good for
bridge. whether you take it literally
or fguratively.
Fashion has dealt out lots Of good
dresses for these outdoor bridge par
ties so many there's just no
alibi for not rating ace-high in your
costume.
The dresses that make the high
est fashion score at parties like
these are dresses you can wear to
other afternoon affairs just as
smart1y. They're real semi-formal
afternoon dresses. And that means
they have three important things
to watch for.
First their length lower
calf. Longer, you see, than your
street dresses or the ones you wear
for sports events, but not as long
as your ankle-length evening dresses.
Next . be sure they're de-
signed to keep your shoulders COW
cred. That means they should
have some kind Of sleeve or else a
cape or fichu or something to fall
over the tops of your arms. Be
cause uncovered shoulders are best
left to active sports or formal eve
ming this summer.
Third their materials. They
want to look like afternoon mate
rails. That puts eyelet embroidered
bastite on the fashionable list, and
the printed crepes or chiffons that
have pastel colored backgrounds and
medium size patterns and, of course
the plain crepes and chiffons in
white or pastels.
Any dress that fills those three
requirements is satisfactory bridge
dress for outdoors in summer.

just the three or four you contract
