Balm from .your drugfrint now. Apply
a little of this fragrant, antiseptic,
healing cream in your nostrils. It pen
etrates through every air passage of the
head, soothes the inflamed or swollen
mucous membrane and relief comes in
Btniitly. It's just fine. Don't stay stuffed up
with a cold or nasty catarrh.
Both Ends
( Producer and Consumer )
Against
The Middle
(The Packer
The consumer wants to pay a low
price for meat.
The farmer wants to get a high
price for cattle.
The packer stands between these
conflicting demands, and finds it im
possible to completely satisfy both.
The packer has no control over the
prices of live stock or meat, and the
most that can be expected of him is
that he keep the difference between
the two as low as possible. He does
this successfully by converting animals
into meat and distributing the meat
at a minimum of expense, and at a
profit too small to be noticeable in the
farmer's returns for live stock or in the
meat bill of the consumer.

The net profit was $1.29 per head, or
about one-fourth of a cent per pound
of beef.
By what other method can the dif
ference between cattle prices and beef
prices be made smaller, and how can
the conflicting demands of producer
and consumer be better satisfied ?

Alkali lakes east of Itryatd. Houth-
east of Alliance in the North Platte
valley, are apparently full of good
I potash deposits The ink save, been
under suspicion of betaf containers
'of potash for some time and capital
ists ate now making teats to deter
mine tin- quantity available.
The Bayard News of last wivk, con
talned the following article reKnnllim
tin'1 IbbMMB!
"for some weeks past capitalists
have been Invetttgntlttt the possihiu-
jlies In the potash lakes east of May
I ard, and bare finally decided the In
timations justify tests to the extent
, of boring wells around the deposits
and making tests of the soil. Teats
Of the water have shown a very large
pore en tags of potash.
"Recently the lakes on farms be
longing to C. 0. Nelson and John Oll
' ver were leased by a representative
of the Investigators, who says his
company will nt once begin to make
' the tests, and if results show up as
well as the Indications warrant, a re
I finery will be erected at once, and the
work of extracting the potash push
' od as rapidly as possible.
"The several lakes east of 1 lava id
have long been known to contain pot
ash hut as to the amount it was not
known ti nt 11 the development of the
; industry east of Alliance called the
.attention to the possibilities in this
territory.
"If the further tests uphold the
hope of the parties interested in prov
ing to he what is anticipated .Bayard j
will benefit from the enterprise, be-
cause the majority of the lakes are
within a few mileB of town, and of
necessity our city will reap some of
the business.
"Of course it cannot be expected
that a business of this kind will go
to the trouble and expense of pump
ing the water any dlstnnce to recog- j
ni.e town and they never do. j
Rather the industry is the means of
starting a new town. But being near-j
er to the works than any of the sur-;
rounding towns Bayard will naturally
be most benefitted.
"The prospects for a sure go of,
the enterprise Is so certain that it is
rumored a local Bayard man already,
has the contract for hauling sand fort
the concrete work for the factory."
MICKIE SAYS
A month ago the Ked Cross chapter
In Bay City, Mich., received a hurry
up call for 150 dunnage bags. Troops
were about to move, and through an
oversight their equipment was not
complete. The bags bad to be made
and sent within 48 hours. A request
tor help was sent over the town, and
the stores were sesrehed successfully
for the right materials Among those
who quickly responded and came to
the chapter workrooms to help were
two little girls, sisters, about ten and
twelve years of age, each eager to lend
a band and do something for the boys
who were going to the front. All day
long the Augers of the women and
the little girls were fairly flying. Bag
after hug received the last stitch un
til scores were piled up ready for
shipment. Closing time came, and the
woman superintendini; the making of
the hugs counted those completed and
announced that If every one of ths
workers could come early the next
morning and work all day the hags
would sarely be finished in lime for
shipping by evening. Two crestfallen
little girls, the little sisters, were wait
lug for her at tin- door as shs de
parted. Red Cross Dunnage Bags.
"We are awfully sorry, tua'am," salel
the older of the two, "but we cau't
come back tomorrow. You see tomor
row we huve to " And, without fin
ishing the sentence, she looked back
wistfully at the pile of hags
"it Is loo bad you can't cease hack,"
said the superintendent, "hut 1 want
lo thank you, and we all thank you,
for the work you've done today. You
two have I eeu a wonderful help and
that pile of hags Wouldn't he nearly so
big if you hadn't been here, tiood
night"
The next morning when the uper
iuieiident came down to unlock ths
workrooms for tfce day she was aston
Ishud to see the two little girls stand
Ing In the cold by the locked door.
"Oh, I'm so glad to see you !" shs
said. "I thought you said you couldn't
come?"
"Oh, we knew those Red Croat Lags
Just had to be finished for the sol
diers," exclaimed the little one, with
glistening eyes, "tud we got up at
three o'clock this morulng and got tbs
washing done early I"
