T h e United States D epartm ent o f agriculture reported in 1916 that t>e farm er gets for his cattle “ approxi mately two-thirds to three-fourths” o f the final retail price paid by the co n sum er fo r the resulting beef. Under normal conditions, the farm er’s share o f retail prices o f various farm products is approxim ately as follows: Butter CATTLE E g«* Potatoes Poultry Fruits 71 per cent 6 6 % to 75 per cent 6 5 per cent 55 per cent 45 per cent 3 5 per cent T h e difference betw een farm er's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses o f packing, freight and w h ole sale and retail distribution.

All this is done at an expense o f less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit o f only about Vi o f a cent per pound o f beef.

See if the color is unnatural If there are settlings and sediment. Passages frequent, scanty, painful. Its time to fear serious kidn.y trouble. Its time to use Doan's Kidney Pills.

Engene, Ore., says: *'I have used Doan's Kidney Pills whenever I have needed a kidney medicire for the past twenty-live years and they have never failed to do me good. Whenever I notice that my kidneys don't act riaht, I take a few doses of Doan's Kidney Pills and they soon put them in good working order ami my hack becomes ¡=s strong as ever. Price 60c, at all dealers. Don't sim ply ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr Stoutemyer uses. F ster-Milburn Co.. Props., Hutfalo. N. Y. H ow Much Longer? Oil and waterpower legislation has had a rocky road to travel in congress for years past. Politicians have cried "conser vation” in regard to these great natural resources without c nsid- ering what conservation ment. The cry brought votes, how ever. at the exper.ee of the west, while coal burned which should have been supplaneed by water, power running merrily to the sea and oil staid in the ground while the griee doubled and trebled and our oil burning industries begged in vain for the precious fluid where is the conservation in the forced distruetion of coal and the crippling of industries through the scarcity of fuel oil. Some false conservationests ;re still trying to block oil and waterpower development at this critical time but the public has a betfer understanding o f the situ ation today and relief must soon be granted. True conservation is shown by '.i.e wise and economical use of anv recources Down to Earth In addition to its other quali ties extraordinary, unusal night photography is one o f the features offered in the new Douglas Fair banks-Art craft picture coming to the Star theatre next Sunday. With the aid of flare lights and a special photographic device Cam eraman Victor FUmming filmed a scene of the popular actor re laxing on the ground looking up at the stars one evening, which effect has caused considerable comment around film producing centers. The Fairbanks photo grapher is hardly more than a boy and his exceptional work has often caused wide comment. Youth is quite characteristic of the Fairbanks organization.
