MAKING BEST OF
SUNNY HOURS OF
THE PERFECT DAY

Nothing" said Goethe, ais more
difficult to bear than series of per-
feet days"
A good many of us now would be
glad of a chance to test that state
ment.
We should be glad of a series Of
perfect days" even though the bless
ing should prove quite unbearable.
In fact in these days of stress and
strain and uncertainty for all of us.
the idea Of perfectly smooth sailing
with no difficulty or trouble or con-
Germ Of any kind is entirely attrac-
tive. 1t would take even more than
the eloquence of Goethe to convince
us that we should find an untroubled
world difficult to bear!'
The great authors idea, of course,
is that some difficulty, struggle, set
back, add zest to life. That it is
fun to overcome trouble. That a per-
feet day yields it's full measure of
pleasure only because of our recol-
lection Of the rainy day. And the
thought that comes to most of us
is that given sufficient perfect days
to wipe out the recollection of the
dark days, we humans Immediately
set about supplying our own clouds
and darkness-in the form of petty
frictions and irritations which shadow
our world quite as effectively as real
trials and troubles. And they do
not compensate with the ennobling
influence of real trials-the soul
purging. the broadening of viewpoint,
the gift of philosophy. which help US
to put to better use, for the happi-
ness of ourselves and our loved ones,
the golden hours Of the perfect days.
when these do come along.
We are not to be scared off the
perfect days" In fact we are try
ing our hardest to WOO them back.
And l wonder if when they come we
shall have profited sufficiently from
the difficult times so that we shall
indeed know how to use them to en-
joy and to disseminate happiness, so
that the good times may never again
be difficult to bear?

WHY YOUR HEALTH
DEPENDS UPON
YOUR KIDNEYS
Your Kidneys Are Constantly
Eliminating Waste Poisons
From Your Blood
ToBe Well See That They Function
Properly

POUR KIDNEYS! Do you realize
what an important part they play
in your bodily health' and length Of
life? They are the blood filters.
Every "a hours they excrete more
than 800 grains of poisonous waste.
Thus your kidneys are literally
sentinels Of your health.
It is well, then, to keep careful
watch Of your kidneys. II they fail
to do their work fully, there is slow
poisoning Of the system, which may
lead to many serious conditions.
Disordered kidney action and
bladder irritations may give rise to
scanty, painful or too frequent pas
sage and getting up at night. One
: is apt to feel a dull, nagging back
ache, drowsy headaches and dizzi-
ness. -'
While, naturally, temporary If.
regularities may occur, If the con-
dition persists, it is well to look to
your kidneys. There is positive
danger in neglecting disordered
kidney action.
If you have any reason to believe
your kidneys are not functioning
properly, why not give Dodn's Pills
a trial? No other advertised diure-
tic has such worldwide use. None
is so well recommended.
Get Dodn's today. Your druggist
has them.

Reginald Barker, who had the "knack"

Here is quicker relief from pain-the
fastest safe relief, it is said, ever
known. This is due to a scientific
discovery by which BAYER Aspirin
starts taking hold" of pain a few
minutes after taking.
The illustration Of the glass here
tells the story.A Bayer tablet starts to
disintegrate or dissolve-go to work
almost instantly. This means quick
relief from pain-fewer lost hours
from headache, neuritis, rheumatism.
And safe relief. For genuine Bayer
Aspirin does not harm the heart.
When you buy, see that you get
the genuine Bayer Aspirin. The best
way is never to ask for aspirin by the
name aspirin" alone. But if you
want Bayer Aspirin's quick relief
always to say ''BAYER Aspirin"

Blond Army

That Hollywood has more blends to
the square foot than any other city in
the world was proven recently at the
Paramount studios. William Beaudine
was directing girls school scene for
"The Crime of the Century" Desiring
to improve his scene composition, he
called out: "Will that blond please
move three feet to her right" With
one accord thirty-five girls moved three
feet to their right.

price Of 80 gravity crude shall be
one-sixth less or $1.24.
Those may not be the figures but
they are the approximate figures we
may expect in Northern Montana We
look for Cut Bank crude to be
quoted at from $145 to $15e per
barrel and Kevin-Sunburst crude at
from $1.2O to $1-25 per barrel
An operator can MAKE MONEY
on these prices. Is it necessary to
wait until these prices are in effect
before buying a lease, or before buy
ing drilling machine or in doing
any other preparatory thing?
Today the selling prices are based
on 80 cent crude In Kevin-Sunburst
and 81 crude in Cut Bank That ape
plies to leases and royalties and also
drilling equipment. When the adj
1ustment comes about EVERYTHING
will cost more That goes without
saying. Flour will cost more, be-
cause the farmers will get more for
their wheat. Butter will cost more
because the farmer will get more for
his but.erfat--and so on through
our whole system. Drilling equipment
is today the cheapest ia history.
Bankrupt supplies can be bought for
a song AFTER prices 60 up, there
will be a big demand for drilling
equipment and for leases and for
royalties, and the prices Of these will
go up proportionately
Af.er seeing the N. r. A. code Tor
the oil industry must we wait until
the higher prices are actually in
effect before we DO ANYTHING?
The time to do things is BEFORE
and not AFTER. II a profit is to be
made. The average man does not
get rich simply because the average
man will not buy until prices are
so high that they are STAGGERING.
The average man buys at the time
he should be SELLING The differ
enee between success and failure is

For some time past people with
foresight have known that the price

of the former-but all this is re-

wheels OF industry are swinging into

times dropping back to walt for adj

ALL point upward for the first time
in years.
