Livestock is going into winter quarters with famine star ing it in the face and prices of hay advancing. Credit has been largely / ! j Do you get any spring from the arch of your foot ? The average wom andoes not, because she wears a stiff shank shoe. "Any elasticity she gets is from flexion and extension at the knee, her feet being no more springy than blocks of wood," commented a noted Scottish physician in the London Lancet. What Nature Planned. Each foot is composed of 26 small bones arranged in arched positions, held together by muscles and liga ments and intended by nature to re main resilient so that your body weight will be cushioned and the shocks of walking be absorbed by this springy formation of your feet. In other words, nature indicates that your shoes should be springy— not rigid—-at the main (longitudinal) arch. Cantilever Shoes are so made— flexible and natural instead of cealing a metal "shank piece" as do all ordinary shoes. con The Resilient Arch This explains why Cantilevers such delightful shoes for walking. They give you that springy, "peppy feeling which is typical of youth. Come and see how stylish they are— in addition to their comfort.

Cowmen ate mortgag ing their ranches to buy hay. Losses from the slump in prices of cattle heavy, and individual herders and ! cattle firms will be helpless to save their stock. Losses of half a million head in eastern Oregon last winter will reach into millions of the corn winter is not mild and open. Hofer appeared before the national humane convention in St. Paul with a plea for the range stock and advo cates state and national action to the industry from terrible losses are Col save if the coming winter is a hard one. Asked what could be done to pre vent injury and disaster to livestock the law to starve a domestic animals on the ranges, he said: be legislation to make it a crime to withhold sustenance from livestock the ranges, just as it is against the law to starve domestic animals in cities under npost state laws. Cus tom and tradition permit owners of herds and flocks and managers of cattle and sheep corporations to live in comfort in cities and winter in Cal ifornia and Florida, while their dumb animals freeze, starve and die of thirst by millions on the ranges. A herd may lose 10 to 60 per cent in winter and the remainder come out skin and bones and nothing is said and nothing done. If the price goes up they make it back on the surviv ors. The last government statistics for the winter of 1918-19 show 2, 247,000 cattle, 1,606,000 sheep and a vast number of lambs perished from starvation. A few years ago nearly the entire cattle industry of Montana and Nevada was wiped out by freez ing and starving. The stock tustle in two to four feet of snow and break through the ice and drown trying to get to the water in rapidly rushing rivers partly frozen over • In one valley in a western state 700 head of white-faced cattle starved while hay just over a slight ridge was held at $30 a ton. Our humane officer last January found herds dy ing of starvation and eating willows and trees, with hay stacks on all sides of them and not a ton for sale. Greed and inhumanity to creatures that supply our nation with food and clothing have been carried too fair. The department of commerce and ag riculture can do much to relieve dan ger of losses of millions of stock that "There must on it will take three to five years to re place. The states must act. The The county farm agent law should be extended to include livestock, and county farm agents should be given the power to move starving stock oT feed it through the winter, with pow er to commandeer hay and make it a first lien against stock, to take prece dence over all other claims. The right to keep the herd alive comes fitst, and if this right does not exist, then it should be granted. and provide water, feed and shelter, The shoe-stringer still operates by the hundreds and is the cause of a great share of the loses in winter. He i being crowded out by the settlers. and the western organizations of wool-growers are demanding that he be given no leases. Rules and regu lations on the forest reserve require that leases for paturing livetock be granted only to owners of cattle and sheep who are able to show owner ship of ranch lands and ability to take care of stock when it is taken off the reserve. That practically ex cludes the shoe-stringer from the for est reserves and has reduced fatali ties to livestock. The shoe-stringer op erates without owning a foot of land and generally without credit or cap ital, taking bis chances to make a winning on an open winter when his stock will get through without losses Some way must be found to hold him responsible for losses to his herds. The shoe-stringer or irresponsible herder should be shut off the federal and state range lands as he is off the forest reserves. The great cattle range country is in a transition stage. Settlers are crowding in and fencing more and more land. Large cattle companies— the best of them—have fenced lands •• v.

It has been determined by careful experiments conducted at the forest products laboratory at Madison, Wis., that when a good soft coal is selling at $12 per ton you can afford to buy u cord of wood of the different kinds offered for sale in this region at the following rates, including the cost of sawing into stove lengths : Red or Douglas fir . Larch or tamarack . $7.20 8.87 Lodgepole pine, yellow pine or hemlock . White pine .| Wood burned green has about 90 per cent of the fuel value of thor oughly seasoned wood, but it is much more difficult to start and makes more smoke. The bark of such woods as the Douglas fir has about the same heat ing value as an equal volume of wood. Pound for pound of weight, and giv en equal conditions of dryness and similar methods of utilization, all kinds of wood have very nearly the same heating value, but a measured cord of hard-wood will weigh a great deal more than a cord of equally dry soft wood, and is therefore capable of producing more heat. Wood cut from dead trees, if sound, will not produce an appreciably less amount of heat than that cut from green trees and seasoned 7.00 7.20 A ton of good coal will liberate sufficîent soot to damage the apear ance of your neighbor's Monday morning washing and smudge the paint on several buildings. It will also produce 200 to 300 pounds of worthless ashes for you to carry out and dispose of- A cord of* wood makes very little soot indeed, and will produce less than 60 pounds of ashes containing about two pounds of pot ash and fifteen pounds of lime, both of which ingredientsh are a valuable fertilizer for your garden, orchard or berry patch. When you buy a ton of coal your dealer sends much of your $12 out of the community to the mines to pay for the coal and gives another large portion of the money to a railroad, overcrowded during the tush season, in payment for a long freight haul. On the other hand, when you buy a cord of wood nearly all of the money is spent locally by the farmer or saw mill operator in payment for labor, clothing, groceries, tools and taxes, than stimulating local industry and trade and supplying remunerative winter occupation for local labor. An d rule, the quality of wood that is cut into fuel Is unsuited to the manufacture of any but the poorer grades of lumber and in the present stage of our economic development would probably be wasted if not util ized for fuel. Unlike coal, which when once mined out is gone for all time, wood is a growing crop which wastes if not harvested when ripe and which can be constantly repro duced from the same ground. There fore the wise use of wood is true economy. Think it over and take your choice. Possibly it will pay youd to let the woodpile keep you warm, cook your meals and finally furnish you with daily healthful outdoor exercise if you desire it. "PEACEFUL VIOLENCE" IMPOS SIBLE. k Why have the I. W. W. concentrat ed in the far west?" asks the Phila delphia Ledger, alluding to the long shoremen's strike in Portland. It recalls the various acts of violence arising from the I. V/- W. agitation in the west and compared them with the practical subsidence of the move ment in the east since 1910 Probably because the west is more thinly populated than the east, be cause the states have less effective authority in remote sections, and be cause the west is more tolerant of new ideas thaji is the east, the I. W. W. preferred this as its principal .field of operation. A far larger pro portion of labor is migratory in the west than in the east, for lumbering, mining and harvesting are occupa tions followed by wanderers. That condition favors the wobbly agitator, for his habits of constant travel at tract less than they would in the «i TURN HAIR DARK WITH SAGE TEA If Mixed with Sulphur It Darkens So Naturally Nobody Can Tell The old-time mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur for darkening gray, streaked and faded hair is grandmoth er's recipe, and folks are again using it to keep their hair a good, even color, which is quite sensible, as we are liv ing in an age when a youthful appear ance is of tee greatest advantage. Nowadays, though, we don't have the troublesome task of gathering the sage and the mussy mixing at home. All drug stores sell the ready-to-use prod uct, improved by the addition of other ingredients, called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound." It is very popu lar Because nobody can discover it has been applied. Simply moisten your comb or a soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morning the gray hair disappears, but what delight* tee ladies with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Composed, is that, besides beautifully darkening the hair alter a lew applica ««M h iho jgaftiw* ft ift ft* « and appear«»* of abundance which » so «teraetiv«. - , .V! . v. eastern communities, says the Ore gonian. But our Quaker City friend need not worry. After giving the I. W. W. plenty of rope, the west has learned their true character, especial ly since the yellow streak showed through the red at the Centralia mas sacre. By that crime the I. W. W. placed themselves in contrast with the men who gave the highest proof of patriotism, and they cannot work themselves into the west's confidence by changing their constitution or by conducting a strike free from vio lence except that of the tongue- They are enemies of American institutions and of American industry, . and though they technically obey the law and thus avoid arrest, they are justly under suspicion and will have a cold welcome from the employers whom they brand as robbers.

The aid of the organization is asked at this time in an endeavor to discover the whereabouts of a boy named John Dixon (nicknamed "Jack"), of Brook lyn, N, Y. Jack, it seems, wrote his parents on a postal card, postmarked St. Paul, on September 29, 1922, that he was on his way to Chicago, Up to this date he has not been heard from nor seen, although there has been a general alarm spread through various sources. He is sixteen years old, stands 5 feet 7 inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, has blonde curly hair, black eyebrows and eyelashes. When last seen he was dressed in a black wool sweater and sheepskin coat, brown army j shoes, and his underwear was marked ! with his full name, j His home address is 102 Berkeley Place, Brooklyn, N.
