"The buying power, or the av ing power of Nebraska lias increased at lea.t 30 per cent since the War Finance corporation began to 'unc tion in Nebraska. Eugene Meyer, jr., the managing director, lias done a wonderful work for Nebraska and the surrounding states. The attitude of Mr. Meyer and hi associate is very friendly to the farmers of Ne braska. They are confident that the situation here will ultimately be thoroughly relieved. But they feel that there must be entire co-operation by all business interests. "There are two elements whose welfare today is paramount to the success and life of all business la bor and agriculture. Both must bp nerved with the strictest order of justice. Labor must be paid its fair compensation and the food producer must be paid a fair return in the same way. When this is brought about, the buying power of these two great elements amalgamate themselves into a situation that creates prosperity for the manufacturer and the retailer." -Agriculture Greatest Industry. . Mr. Flannigan, who is a country banker from Stuart, Neb., and former president of the State Bankers' asso ciation, realizes as many do not the fact that agriculture is the greatest American industry. He quoted fig ures to show that it represents 75 per cent of the wealth of the nation and includes 30 per cent of the population- "There -are 6,500,000 farms in the United States," Mr. Flannigan re . sumed. "They know back east that there can be no .general prosperity until the people on those farms have 'real buying power. That purchasing power must be on the basis of 100 cents on, the dollar. It is based on the prices paid for the products of the producer. The farmer is com ing back first the higher markets show that. He was the first to suf fer from depression, and he-has been the first one to he relieved." Plan to Stock Ranges. The ncVu great task of the War Finance corporation, which already has approved loans : amounting to $12,525,000 for Nebraska, is to help stock the cattle ranges, Mr. Flan nigan indicated. Northeast and south east Nebraska, composing the corn belt, is relieving itself, but the great cattle country and the- hay belt still remains to be financed. This must be done in the next four months, through, the War Finance corpora tion and the local banks and cattle 'load companies. From reliable reports received from bankers, county officials and ranch ers in the western part of Nebraska, Mr. Flannigan estimates that there is a shortage of at least 50 per cent of range cattle. From similar in formation he has sensed an impend ing shortage of hogs and about half a normal supply of cattle in the feed lots. With adequate financing this situation is more promising than alarming, as far as profits to agricul ture ere concerned. Judge Scores I. W. W. and .

And feeling quite sure that it was some kind of fun; he was glad that he was going to have a part in it- "I hope Johnnie has sonic oats for me in that basket." he thought "Oats and com!" Twinklehcels ex claimed. "What's he going to do with that enormous whip?" He was so startled that he jumped sideways and Johnnie Green all but lost his seat on Twinkleheels' back. As he lurched in the saddle he brought the fish pole smartly against Twinkle heels head. "I won't stand this," Twinkle heels decided. "I don't sec what Johnnie is thinking of, to beat me over the head. I've certainly done nothing to deserve such treatment." Thereupon . he dashed madly across the farmyard and made for the or chard. "Whoa!" cried Johnnie Green. "Whoa!" cried his father. "Step him! Hang to him! Don't let him run!" "He'll have to drop that great whip if he expects me to mind," Twinklehcels said with a snort. Johnnie's hands were so full of a number of things that he could do little more than stick to the saddle. "Drop that N junk you're carry ing!" Farmer Green shouted. "Why doesn't he tell Johnnie to drop that long whip?" Twinkleheels muttered to himself. What Farmer Green said was of no account, anyhow, d r Johnnie wat to huv th4t he didn't hear a word of hi father' advice. TwinklcherU had reached the or chard and already tmring in and out smoiijr the tree..

Jolted a he was, he couldn't get a whole word out of hi mouth at a time. He could only jerk a word out piecemeal. If the fish pole hadn't at last snapped off hort, leaving only the butt of it in Johnnie' hand, there' no telling, when Twinklehcels would have stopped. Finding himself with only a bit of the pole left in his hand, Johnnie gave it a fling, slipped an arm through the handle of his lunch basket, and set to pulling mightily on the bridle rein. "There!" said Twinkleheels "There goes that whip. I'm glad I broke it. Now I'll let Johnnie pull me down to a walk but not too quickly." it h Johnnie Green tugging stead ilv. Twinkleheels changed from a run to a canter, from a canter to a trot, from a trot to a iaik,; and finally stood still. 1 Then Johnnie turned him around and rode slowly baclt to the barn He jumped down, unbuckled the girth, and drew cfl Twinklehcels' saddle. "What's the matter?" his father asked him. "You haven't given up going fishing have you? "No!" Johnnie answered. "I'm going to harness Twinkleheels to the buggy. And I'll cut a pole when I get to the creek." His father said nothing more. But he smiled a little to himself when Johnnie wasn t looking his way. "Boys will be boys," Farmer Green remarked to the hired man after Johnnie had gone. "yes!" the hired man agreed. "And ponies will be ponies. They may have been talking in riddles.

Doctor at 82 Finds Mothers Prefer His Formula to New-Fangled Salts And Coal Tar Remedies for Babies Judgment of 1 892 vindicated by world's approval of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, a simple vegetable compound for constipation So safe thousands give 1 it to babes in arms Now has largest sale in the world. WHEN a man is in the 83rd , , , plewanttousethemnoonecan vear of his acre, as I am. P 1 deny them the privilege, but l 1 U 1 T - vear of his acre, as I am, there are certain things he has learned that only time can t teacn him. The basis of treat- ing sickness has not changed since I left Medical College' in 1875, nor since I placed on the market the laxative prescrip tion I had used in my practice, known to druggists and the public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Then the treatment of con stipation, biliousness, head aches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, "herbs and roots. These are still the basis of my Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of Egyptian Senna and other mild laxative herbs with pepsin. Recently new medicines have been brought out for constipation that contain cal omel, which is mercury, salts of various kinds, minerals, and coal tar. These are all drastic purges, many of them danger ous, andthe medical profession From a recent portrait of DR. W. B. CALDWELL Founder of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin BoruSheibyville, Mo., 1839 is warning the public against them. Certain coal tar products will depress the heart; certain salts give rise to intestinal poisoning, impaction and rupture of the intestines. If grown peo- they should never be giyen to children. The simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you, and the bet ter for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by usincj Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with pills and powders and strong drugs, even if disguised in candy? My remedy, loo, costs less, than most others, only about a cent a dose. A bottle such as you can find in any drug store, will last a family several months, and all can use it. It is good for the babe in arms because pleasant to the. taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics. In the proper dose, given in the directions, it is equally effective at all ages., Elderly people will find it especially ideal. The formula of Dr. Caldwell's S3'rup Pepsin is on the cover of every bottle, and the ingredients nave the endorse ment of the U. S. Pharma in OOO Wftrtll nt 'n remembrance of my 83rd birthday I have set aside the sum ofTeri Thousand P 1U,VUV; HWUIOI Dbilars to be given away in haI-ounce bottles of my Syrup Pepsin.
