Nature sometimes fails, so take no chances but go to the aid of nature as soon as you see something wrong with your horse and give it a dose or two of B. A. Thomas Stock Remedy. If it does not respond at once, this medicine costs you nothing and its just as sure with cows or sheep. We give you your money back.—J. J. Slominski. PASTURE. Good pasture for a few head of stock.—L. N. Smith. 18-3 THE CHURCHES. German Evangelical. There will be regular Easter ser vice next Sunday at the German Evan gelical church.

MU I n t rib. Should see that the whole family take at least three or four doses of a thorough, purifying system cleaning medicine this spring. Now is the time. The family will be healthier, happier and get along better if the blood is given a thorough purifying, the stomach and bowels cleaned out, and the germs of winter, accumulated in the system driven away. Hollister’s Rocky Mountain Tea is the very best and surest Spring Remedy to take. Get it at once and see the difference in the whole family. Their color will be better, they’ll feel fine and be well and happy. 35e. The best spring tonic laxative, purifier.—Graefe Pharmacy. BOOST FOR GOOD ROADS. No other thing is quite so essential to the success and development of a community as good roads. No other element of success is so easy to attain where all of the people have the will and the determination to do. Good roads mean everything to us, collec tively and individually, and we need good roads and better roads, and we should go after them and get them. Good roads are productive of good farms, and prosperous farmers are the foundation and framework of every community. Without good roads the farmer is retarded and handi capped. his earning capacity is re duced, his opportunity for improve ment and expansion is lessened, his working capital is impaired, his pro fits are eliminated and his future is cloudy and obscure. But good roads make good farms, and we want every farm in this community to be even better than good. Build up the roads, and the farms.

RESULT OF ELECTION The Northwestern intended printing a table showing the vote in Sherman county at the primary election, but as the returns are not ail in and are in complete, the table will have to wait until next week.

The republi can nominee for governor is probably McKelvie, a “dry" man. Hitchcock, democrat and Kennedy, republican are the choice of the two parties for United States senator. For state senator of the twenty second district, W. D. Zimmerman un doubtedly has the democratic nomi nation and O. G. Smith was the lucky man on the republican ticket.
