tzfj RED CLOUD, NEBRASKA, CHIEF . ! v If You Need a Mediclna You Should llavo the Best ,Vc. J"ou ever stopped to reason why It is that bo many products that nro ex tensively advertised, all at once drop out of sight and are soon forgotten? The reason is plain-tho article did not fulfill the promises of the manufacturer. This applies more particularly to a medicine. A medicinal preparation that Iibb real curative value almost sells itself, as like nn endless chain system the remedy is recommended by those who have been benefited to those who are in need of it. A prominent dnipgist says, "Take for example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Itoot, a preparation I have sold for many years knd never hesitate to recommend, for in inmost every case it shows excellent re cults, ns many of my customers testify. No other kidney remedy has so large a Mle." According to sworn statements nnd verified testimony of thousands who have used the preparation, the success of Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root) is due to the fact, to many people claim, that it fulfills al most every wish in overcoming kidney, liver and bladder ailments, corrects uri nary troubles and neutralizes the uric acid which causes rheumatism. You may receive a sample bottle of Bwamp-Root by parcel post. Address Dr. Kilmer & Co., Ilinghamton, N. Y., and enclose ten cents; also mention this paper.

It Is generally understood that the only substances thnt are magnetic, or may be magnetled, are a certain nat ural magnet, called lodestonc. and Iron. There are certain mnngnnese alloys, however, which are nmpnetic, called the Heusler alloys so named after their discoverer, Doctor IIouMer. They are composed of copper, man puH'-e and aluminum and are remark able for the fact that in certain pro portions they are magnetic, although the component metals are not mag netic. Doctor Heusler made the dis covery by accident. He was turning n metal allov containing manganese in a lathe, when he noticed that the turnings adhered to the tool.

STOMA" . &Lh&M6$& LBOjlOft (Copy for This tffpnrtmeat Supplied hi the American T.oglnn News Service.) PUT BONUS MONEY TO WORK Iowa Veterano Do Not Recklessly Squander Allowance, a3 Had Been Predlctod. Iowa's veterans who received tho itnte bonus are, contrary to expecta tion of some persons, placing tho aioney In savings accounts, using It for the payment of debts nnd for tho extension of business. It had been free ly predicted by a certain element un favorable to payment of such coinpen intlon that the money would be squan dered In reckleos fashion. Newspaper reports from nil sections )f the state tell of the receipt of the vurrants by the former soldiers, and fvhnt they expected to do with the , aioney. i Iowa business houses have conduct-' Ed wide advertising campaigns, sug- ( posting to the former soldiers uses that might bo mndo of the compensation money. According to word from vari ous parts of the state, the savings banks profited most from this cam palpi. Karl Hrowulle, an American Legion member of Davenpoit, In., who received ' the llrst warrant, put It In a savings bank to draw Interest. Harlem Wyntt of Des Moines, tfhvt to receive n check In that city, told repot ters that his check was going to make the last pay ment on a HttJe home. Another vet-' eran said that his plumber was wait ing In his business place for the check when it came by po.it. Still another "vet," appreciative of bow ho obtained the money, said to ropoitors: "I'lvedol-' lars of my check goes to Join the American Legion and the rest to the bank." Interesting facts in regard to the payment of compensation In the state were developed. Mere tb'in l.'O appli cations In the state were not signed by the soldiers becaiive they were unable to write. Instead, tho llnger-prlnt method was used. When the warrants were cashed the finger-i-Tlnts were on the backs of the checks. Two hundred , and llfty nurses will receive checks Tor service In the World war. A tendency on the part of Iowa vet erans to take advantage of the Insur ance offered by the government is noted by American Legion olllclnls. A survey of records of or.o post showed i about CO per cent of tho men receiving compensation relnstat"d their govern ment Insurance. Nonily SlfiO.tMX) In policies was reinstated in one day, ac cording to olllchilH of tMs post. The Iowa law allowa W) cents per day, with a maximum of ?:1TO. All claims of conscientious objectors have ' been set nslde until after all other men I have received their pay, when their claims will be considered. PROUD OF LEGION'S EMBLEM Afflicted Ex-Service Man Tells of Com- ' radeshlp Displayed by Indiana i World Warriors. The spirit of comradeship among for mer soldiers of the United States Is j deepened, rather than diminished by j time, nccordlng to evidences of friend- i ly aid nnd help for veterans temporar- j Uy In need. This is particularly true j among organizations composed of World war lighters, such as the Amerl- can Legion. i Many striking examples of this com rndeshlp come to the attention of nn ttonnl otllcers of the organization. A splendid example was noted In a recent letter to Legion ofllclals concerning friendly nets of an Indiana post townrd n slr-lr romrade, W Written liv H. L. Rogers, n veteran j was oiitameu rrom tne iionseveit .mo nf ltntierv E. Fifth Held artillery, the niorlal association, which Is gathering letter tells how he was taken sick ns he passod through Lebanon, Ind., with his wife. After reaching n hotel there Rogers was told that he was threat ened with pneumonia, and his limited resources were a source of worry. "That afternoon," Rogers' letter says, "the adjutant of the locnl post of the Amerlcnn Legion enmo to the hotel and made mo feel I wns among friends, promising that my comfort would be looked out for. The next morning I awoke to see n bouquet of carnations In my room. In the afternoon the post commander cnino to see me, and In him I met another line fellow. "I was sick for n week. Although food wasn't much It left me broke, mill when the finance officer made me ad mit It he brought n ?10 bill for meals. When I was strong enough to wnlk about I decided to go to Chicago. The American Legion gave me car fare, the adjutant guaranteed my hotel bill nnd a member of the post took us to the train in his cnr. "What do you think of a bunch of fellows like that? Do you think they would bo Just ns regulnr sports If they weren't Legion men? I confess I don't know, but I think these buddies have caught the one big IJlea of tho founders of the American Legion. . . . "In conclusion, let me say that I navo learned what tho emblem of the Legion stnnds for, that I tako Increased pride In being permitted to wear It, nnd that, a4 time goes on, I hope my .gratitude never lessens to fno 'greatest xlend of the ex-buddy.' " ROOSEVELT LETTER TO POSTS Facsimile of Former President' Pjr- sonal Mcssane to Men In Trnchet la Sent Out. A copy of the only personal messaga ever prepared by fonner President Theodore Roosevelt for American sol diers In France, written on the day he was apprised of tho death of his son, Quentin, has been sent to every post of the American Legion, to the form of n specially prepared facsimile of tho original message. This letter was pre pared for the soldiers of America and was to be conveyed to them by Cass Connaway of Duffalo, N. Y., who was unable to deliver the words of Roose velt because of war duties. Through the 11,000 posts of the American Legion Mr. Connaway line been able to complete distribution of the message, and It will be framed in Leglmi homes, presented to libraries and museums, that all Americans mny read of the feelings of n lighter to tho lighting men of America. Connaway was an attorney In Indian npolls before the war. Ills two sons enlisted, and his wife took up lied Cross work. When he found he was the only one of the family not in serv ice he closed his office nnd volunteered ns n "Y" hut secretary, unable to enter the army on account of his age. Defore he was ordered to France, Connaway conceived the idea of carry ing a message to the Hoosler boys nt the front, telling them of how they would be welcomed on their return to the United States. fJov. .Tames 1'. Goodrich of Indiana prepared a splen did message, as did l'.ooth Tarklngton. Meredith Nicholson, Ceorge Ade and other well-known Indlanatis. Then Connaway enlarged en his original Idea and wrote to the governors of every state for similar words to the men of their commonwealths In the trenches of France. All respon-'ed, and to these were added a tribute, penned In long hand, by Cardinal rs:i,bxis. (in .Inly 1.", 1019, Mr. Connaway sub mitted bis plan to former President Roosevelt. The dav following, Quentin, UAb3 CONNAWAY his son, was killed ns ho flew over tho i German lines, word being received In America July 17 of the death of tha , young nvlator. Connaway sailed for France and fchnrtly nfter landing was assigned to duties with the legal division of the Y. 1 M. C. A. He was unable to send the i message direct to the men nt the front, but succeeded In having It printed In 1 the I'arls edition of the London Dally Times, though few of the fighters were I privileged to see It. Continued duties j with the "Y" ns chief of the claims til , vision, Judge advocate and chief of tho ' legal division held up delivery of the I niessnge. Connaway then returned to the United States and was separated from the service to become managing director of the Buffalo real estate board. Still feeling his obligation for deliv ery of the words from Mp. Roosevelt, Connnway sought permission from Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., now assistant secretary of the navy, for authority to Issue the letter. Further ecnnlsslon mementoes for presentation at Roose velt house In Now York city, the birth place of the president, nnd where the original of the message will be plnccd. Identlcnl copies of the statement to the troops were prepared. Then the Amerlcnn Legion was nppealed to as being the best means for distribution of the message and It went forward through the various posts of the or ganization. The message follows: "To the Soldiers of the American Expeditionary Forces Overseas: "I send my heartfelt greetings to yon men at the front. You have made all nf us who stay behind lift our heads high with pride by whnt you are doing. It Is you men, and only you men, who are doing one vital work for the American people today.

What you are doing Is vHal for the honor and tho interest, for the fu ture welfare, nnd for the very ex istence, of our republic; and you nro also battling for the liberty of every well-behaved civilized na tion, big or little.

Cut Alfalfa When New Shoots Begin to Appear "Under average weather conditions alfalfa should be cut when the new shoots begin to appear nt the crown," says A. C. Amy of tho farm crops sec tion, University fnrm. "These shoots are yellowish white In color and may be easily seen at the base of the al falfa plant If tho weather lias been very dry for a time previous to Uio date tho crop would usunlly bo cut, the appearance of these new shoots will be delayed more than the devel opment of the crop itself. Under such conditions It Is well to watch the stago of blossom and cut when approximately one-tenth of tho flowers have appeared. Delay In cutting the first or second crop makes the subsequent crops cut the same year later. Alfalfa may bo harrowed with a spring tooth hnrrow or other similar implement Immediate ly nfter tho first or second crop has been removed. This hnrrowlng aids In keeping down grasses that ruin Uhj stands of alfalfa. Mulching Tomatoes Most Excellent as Substitute "Where your tomatoes are not to bo thoroughly cultivated, mulching Is n good substitute," says D. a Mooring, extension horticulturist, Oklahoma A. and JL college. "It consists merely of adding a layer of throa or four Inches of straw over tho uround be tween and around tho tomato plants. This mulch will prevent the growth of grass and weeds, holds the tomatoes up off tho dirt to prevent rot and nt the same time keeps the food conditions more nearly normal and In this way tends to prevent tho stem end rot, which Is quite common whore there aro abrupt changes In weather conditions. This mulch will also enable you to get around over tho ground to better ad vantage In case of wet wenth'er."

A very commendable method of protection Is shown on the accom panying photograph where a mono lithic concrete Mructuro was erected around the scale box. The structure Is really large enough to serve as a business olllco for the farmer and It will afford secure housing for his records. Such r house as this can be easily constructed by anyone who has ordi nary skill. The walls are cast In forms which are built up of smooth boards strongly braced.

Disinfectants to Kill Lice on Cows and Calves A good method of getting rid ot lieu on cows nnd calves Is to get m good scrub brush and then prepare a solution of one of tho coal tar disin fectants or sheep dips. Creolln Is good and It should be added to warm water until the solution Is quite milky. Rub this solution In with the brush, taking particular pnlns to get It on the nf fectcd parts. A sprayer can be used but Is not as effective as n brush. The work had best bo done on a warm, sunny day In order to prevent chilling or cntchlng colli. Another good remedy Is to rub on back of the horns and ears, where tho nnlmals cannot lick It, a small quantity of mcrcurlul oint ment.
