The mild and open winter in the Pacific northwest has continued to favor the livestock men, and where, .as in sections of the intermountain regions, feeding has become necessary, hay is cheap and abundant. .Retail trade during December was approximately the same in volume ot actual sales transactions as it was in December, 1919, although 4.3 per cent less in value of sales report ed 18 representative department stores. The wholesale trade generally reported Deee'nber activity as less than that, of November, 1920, or December, 1919, but the years sales for 1920 were larger in all lines than they were in 1919. Weather conditions during the past month have been generally favorable to the agricultural interests of the twelfth federal reserve district. As a result larger and better crops of winter sown grains and increased yields of fruits are in prospect for 1921. This condition is in direct contrast to the winter of when the protracted dry spell in the southern s.ates of the district aided in lowering yields, and the severe .cold weather in the northern and states caused considerable interior damage to fruit trees and consequent hydro-electri- c 1919-192- 0 ields.

That is why the confidence man of today uses the same bag of tricks as his predecessors. If he thought up a new idea it would be his ruin. The great drugless health science of Chiropractic is comparatively new. It is distinctly different. Many people do not understand it. The Chiropractor lias strayed from the beaten path. lie has thought his nay through to a newer, better method of combating disease in the human body. So some folks say he is a quack. It is worthy of nole that those who accuse Chiropractors of being quacks have never investigated the science of Chiropractic. Any man who investigates the science is bound to admit that there isnt a trace of charlatanism in it. And every man uho employs the services of a Chiropractor becomes an enthusiastic booster for the science. lut not every man investigates and not every man employs the services of a Chiropractor, So, some folks say were quacks. creed-boun- Airs.
