W. T. Rigby is one of the unfort
unates that has been caught in the
meshes of the Wade failure. He pur
chased a ranch of Wade, located in
the Grand Ronde valley, for which
he gave notes for $35,000. Later he
paid in $16,800. Wade, previous to
this payment had pledged the notes
to other parties, and of course did
not cancel the notes, but used the
money in his own interests. Now
Mr. Rigby will have to pay this
amount over again and may lose the
property mixed up in the deal.

"The pick and shovel never built up a country; you have got
to have a plow."
The wagon train divides in the desert. One branch hearing
of gold in California rushes southwest across the mountains;
the main train continues northwestward to Oregon.
At this dramatic point in the film version of Emerson Hough's
great story "The Covered Wagon," the old leader of the
Oregon train gazes fondly upon his plow which he hopes soon,
to sink into Oregon soil. . He is not distracted by thoughts of
California gold. "The pick and shovel never built up a
country," he says. "You have got to have g plowi" '
gince the days of the pioneers of 'The Covered Wagon" Oliver plows
have been helping build up this country. Sturdy and practical, three
generations of American farmers have depended on- them to prepare the
land. As new methods in construction and improved methods of agri
culture were discovered, Oliver quickly put them to the test and passed
on to users of Oliver plows the most up to date implements.
You have got to have a plow. This is just as true today as in the days
of which Emerson Hough wrote in "The Covered Wagon." Modern Oliver
plows and tillage tools assure their users today largest possible yields
as did their predecessors of an earlier day.

Mr. C. F.'Redlichj the successful

The "Perfect Retention Shields,"
hold the rupture perfectly no matter
what position the body assumes or
how heavy a weight you: lift. They
give instant relief, contract the open
ing on the average, case in ten days
and strengthen the weak tissues (the
real cause of rupture) so that they
frequently recover their previous
natural retaining power needing no
further outside support.
While providing safety and com
fort to all old and aggravated cases,
the results are most favorable when
the rupture is just discovered and
still small; it will save you no end
of trouble, pain and expenses in the
future if you now take advantage of
this opportunity. No leg straps or
elastic bandages are used. Can be
worn while bathing.

Rural England in 1825
Had Little Over China
The Chinese minister of communica
tions sent from Peking a long cable
gram of poetic prose felicitating the
managers of the Darlington railway
exhibition In England on ihelr centen
nial of George Stephenson's "Locomo
tion No. 7." i ,
Unless the railway track was laid
over the graves of ancestors In an in
land province, the spectacle of the
puffing monster, once regarded os first
cousin to the earth-dragon, would ex
cite far less confusion in the celestial
republic todny than it did among, the
honest English yokels of Stephenson's
era.
, Then, according to contemporary re
port, "in many bosoms the arrival
caused the greatest consternation.
They fled In abject terror, many hid
ing themselves In the church, others
seeking consolation in the bottle, while
some !of the Jnore courageous climbed,
into trees and at a safe distance from
the monster's claws watched It pass."
Reading that account one is Inclined
to believe that Europe in 1825 was riot
many leagues In advance of the cycle
of Cathay, remarks the Philadelphia
Ledger. ,. . ,
