Humiliations 51, relating to the col

stamp affixed to a taxable article
must be cancelled In such a mannei
as to prevent Its further use If
possible." the regulations state, "the
Hiainp should be afixed to the outside
of the package or container of the
tfxed commodity so that upon open-
ing the same the stamp will lie de
stroyed. Th? initial or name of the
vendor together with the date when
the stamp was affixed or cancelled
must appear on the cancelled stamp."
This provision, the Rureau states,
will he strictly enforced.
The penalty for making use of a
stamp to denote the tax Imposed
without cancelling the stamp is a fin
of not morn than $100.

Woods. Joe Fuest, Ray Mlllman. Mr
Cooper and others were over from
Liberal and made talks in favor o
IJie Liberal-Hugoton railroad. About
sixteen farmers along the proponed
line W(Te at the meeting to let ir
know that they were for the road.
Commltees were appointed to cir
rijlate petitions for a bond election
I'i lake place as soon as legally pos
sible The election will be paid foi
hv Mr. Byers who has made a propo
sltion to build the road for Hugoton
The Liberal folks have already voted
some bonds and say they are willing
to vote more if necessary for thi
road.
Should the farmers in Oklahoma
not bp willing to doAate the required
amount for the Llberal-Forgan road
(Oklahoma cannot vote bonds), Mr
My< rs nays he would take the equip
inent thai he already has bough1
and assembled and lay the road lie
tWee n Hugoton and Liberal right
awav. This would probably give ti
a road in record time Sav ihre<
"toiiths from the time It was started
Mr. Myers is a man of action and wili
<'o what he savs providing we conn
through with our part of the contract
Of course the road will then be
built on out to Springfield and po-
-'hiv to Lamar or LaJunta. Every
body jump right in and help vote th
bonds :>nd we'll have another railroad
soon. It would be one of the fine.-'
things that could happen for th>
cbunty. especially the farmers. Hu

America'* Titanic Coal l'ile
The first thing that impresses out
who studies the coal situation In
America is the well-night inconceiv-
able proportions of the nation's de
mands for fuel. The governinen
estimates that the requirements foi
the current year will reach the enor
tnouB total of 735,000,000 tons. Si
huge is this figure that it were al
most futLle to use tons as units as t
measure the distance around th'
earth in inches. Even the number ol
car loads amounts so far up Into th
millions that they become meaning
less, and train loads are only a litth
better. About the only way in whicl
one can visualize this demand is t
build a mental bin capable of hold
ing enough to meet the national need
If this bin he made with each of
four sides measuring 1,000 leet, it
will have to be more than 33,000
feet high - overtopping Mount Ev
erest. the tallest mountain in th
world, by nearly a uiile. Or, if th
fuel were put into a coal pile of noi
ma! slope, with a base of 2' feet
that pile would have to be 9B.OOt
miles long nearly four times arounc
the earth Little less startling that
the size of the national demand foi
coal are the proportions of the ex
ess .requirements of war times ove.
times and comparing them witl
'he demands of :the last year of war
ir e finds that th^ extra coal required
l'i the United States as the result o
" he war reached a total of 210,000,
!)00 tons Here again the brain reel;
n its effort to comprehend the mean
ing of such vast figures. They mean
an excess tonnage amounting to 4.
<3 3.000 car loads These cars would
require a 3tring of engines nearl}
1.000 miles long to pull them, am
would form a train which, moving at
a uniform speed of 20 miles an hout
and never stopping, would require 7f
days to pass a given crossing -N'a

CALLED HER FAMILY
TO HER BEDSIDE
Six Years Ago, Thinking She Might Die, Says Texas Lady, But Now
She Is a Well, Strong Woman and Praises Cardui For
Her Recovery.
Royae City, Ter.—Mrs. Mary Kil-
tnan, of this place, says; "After the
birth of my little girl...my side com-
menced to hurt me. I had to go back
to bed. We called the doctor. He
treated me...but I got no better. I
got worse and worse until the misery
was unbearable.. .1 was in bed for
three months and suffered such agony
that I was just drawn np in a knot.
I told my husband if he would get
me a bottle of Cardui I would tr- It.
I commenced taking it. however, that
evening I called my family about
me... for I knew I could not last
Many days unless I had a change for,
' the better. That was six yearn ago
and I am still here and am a well,
strong woman, and I owe my life to
Cardui. I had only taken half the
bottle when I began to feel better.
The misery in my side got less.,, I
continued right on taking the Cardui
until I had taken three bottles and I
did not need any more for I was well
and never felt better in my life... I
have never had any trouble from that
day to this."
Do you suffer from headache, back-
ache, pains in sides, or other discom-
forts, each month? Or do you feel
weak, nervous and fagged-out? If so,
give C&rdui, the woman's tonic, a
trial. J. 71
Build Now!
BUSINESS, from ditch digging to banking, needs
building as a stimulus at this time, building investments,
if made with reasonable prudence,' are enhanced in
value with the increase of population.
If you need a home or a building do not hesitate a
day longer in going to work on it.
PRICES will not be lower until production is in-
creased; costs will not go down until quantity production
permits us to avail ourselves of the economy of the
maximum efficiency of labor and machinery.
To increase labor efficiency, to increase production,
to lower prices—
