I i II i IIHII i I i I1II1U1 FWiliitiîFTilÎ’iratjkliTF $1.45 per sack at RAY & CO Under the new law by which each state is encouraged to cooperate with with congress in making appropria tions for agricultural improvement work, the allotments to the f»rty eight states for the fiscal year is $4, 782,270, an amount that ought to pro duce substantial results and promote rivalry among the states to get larger shares of this national aid, contingent on the extent to which a state is wil ling to labor for its own advance ment in soil production. The average sum allotted to a state is $100,000, but the average practically does not apply. What a state does for itself is the main factor in the case. In the present allotment, Texas leads with a share of $234,000, Iowa coming next with $229,000, New York -third with $219,000, North Carolina fourth with $192,000, Indiana fifth with $182,000 and Georgia sixth with $166,000. Mis souri does not reach as high a place as it should, its share standing at $114,000, which is less than that of West Virginia or Mississippi. But Pennsylvania also gets but $144,000 and Ohio $117,000, so they, size con sidered, have been even less alert than Missouri. The Southern States obtain nearly half of the total, and the Southwest is not missing the op- portunity, Oklahoma will receive $142,000 and Arkansas $137,000. New Mexico gets $36,000, Arizona $26,000, and Kansas $109,000. Nearly half of the whole amount provided for the year comes from the national treasury’, so that state supply but little more than 50 per cent of the funds to be expended for their own agricultural development. This bargain ought to be treated as a wel come opportunity, and eventually it is regarded in a majority of the states. But not in equal degree, since Illinois, with $149,000, is lower in the list than Georgia, and not much ahead of the $135,000 of South Carolina. There is all. the flexibility that could be asked in the spending of the money by each state. New York allows half of its allotment for county- agents, the rest going into home demonstra tion, movable schools, boys’ clubs, dairying, horticulture, fighting plant diseases, farm management, and pub lications. A state that looks over the list and finds itself nearer the bottom can of fer nothing better than the excuse that it was not awake to the situation. —Globe Democrat.

The following re port from a well-known and respect ed resident will be helpful to numbers of men and women of Tillamook. Mrs. J. O. Rogers, 603 Grant Street, McMinnville, Ore., says: "I suffered intensely from backaches and head aches. Sometimes the attacks lasted for a week. I couldn't move without having pains in my back and hips. Sometimes when the headaches came on, I had to go to bed. I didn’t know the trouble was caused by my kidneys but since f have been so greatly re lieved by Doan’s Kidney Pills, I know what caused the trouble. They not only regulated the action of my kidneys, but relieved the headaches and backaches. "(Statement given Aug. 28 1907.) Over five years later, Mrs. Rogers said: "I think as highly of Doan's Kidney Pills now as I did when I recommended them several years ago Kidney trouble hasn’t bothered me for a long time."
