Electric light la displacing kerosene In the country and gas in the cities, yet the consumption of neither oil nor gas has decreased. On the conthan trary, more gas and oil are-useat any other time. New uses for them have been found, and uses for electricity besides for light are continually being developed. The use of electricity for power and heat has only Just begun. There Is no limit in sight to the expansion of the electric business, for population is continually increasing and wealth Is accumulating, But the creation of this business out of nothing is but one manifestation of that stupendous miracle which is another name for America. During the time in which the electric industry has been developed, the automobile business has become one k)f the largest in the country, the radio has hundreds of millions invested in production of receiving instruments, the people have money to buy and maintain these things and the money they, have paid to the producers has gone in wages to hundreds of thousands of workmen and to dividends on hundreds of millions, if not billions, of accumulated capital. That is what electricity is doing for this nation. Everything Electrical 'i ' Phone 132 -- W i :ii 'i W. R. Mehner Electric Co. The JERRY THE GIANT and Fox News Adults, Admission: 35c Children: 10c AMERICA ALWAYS HUMAN "When we read of the great work done by the railroads in relieving the flood sufferers of the South, we are hound to conclude that all corporations are .not soulless. From the beginning of the flood up to June 15, 304 special relief trains were run, 104,788 refugees were rescued and transported, 2,479 carloads of household goods and livestock were saved, 4,794 cars were furnished for living accommodations, and 504 carloads of foodstuffs and supplies were brought in. All this was done free of charge. In addition, the railroads furnished and, paid for the labor of thousands of their employes, transported thousands of laborers from other parts of the country to build and protect levees, and hauled thousands of carloads of rock, sand and other material to strengthen levees and shelter the homeless. This timely relief was rendered free of cost by the Southern Pacific; Illinois Central; Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific; St. Louis-Sa- n Francisco; Missouri Pacific; Kansas City Southern; Texas and Pacific; and St. Louis Southwestern. The manner in which the managements of these roads faced and hand! ed the situation, one of the greatest catastrophes in all history, is another index of the genius and ability' of American railroad men.' But what these railroads did is characteristic of Americans everywhere and on all occasions. Nothing so touches and animates the heartspring of America as human distress, whether at home or abroad. "Whether in a corporate or individual sense, America is always human. We may differ on other things, but never on our duty to succor our neighbor and aid the afflicted at our door or beyoupd the seas; and to Americans that is what wakes life worth living. THE QUICKER WAY One way to improve a herd of hogs is to use a purebred sire with grade sows. "But why," asks E. Z. Russell, swine specialist of the U. S. department of Agriculture "spend from 7 to 10 years of valuable time in breeding up, when a start can be made with the best there is? Hogs multiply so rapidly that if only one purebred sow were purchased as a start, a good sized herd could be produced in a very short time. If one will take one good sow and keep her and save her sow pigs, breeding them regularly, he can produce more than 300 hogs in 3 years. t The Peoples Drug Co. Brigham City, Utah 4 in Demi-Brid- e 4.

For this reason, when buying drugs and sundries, you should rely upon the judgment of an experienced "pharmacist. When you read an ad in your favorite magazine, it usually says: "Handled by reliable druggists. No doubt you have formed a habit of buying Soaps, Toilet Preparations, and similar goods at a drug store, because you associate the idea of quality and purity with drugs. This idea shoujd be broadened so as to apply to everything sold by druggists. We know you are a careful buyer, so we ask that you consider the comparative advantages which the druggists of this community offer you when you need such goods as they carry.

Production of sweet clover seed due may be larger than last year, accordacreage, increased to mainly of ing to the United States Bureau Acreage Economics. Agricultural was increased b heavier seeding last year, due somewhat to the relative high prices growers were receiving for seed at that time, and also by About the usual volunteer crops. was plowed under, but a acreage somewhat larger acreage than usual was put up for hay. There is some uncertainty as to whether growers will harvest all the acreage they have saved for seed because of prevailing prices. Yield per acre may not be larger than last year, as there is a common opinion that fertilization was not as complete as a year ago. In North Dakota, thick stands are reported in sections which had large production last year. In northwestern Minnesota fields appear somewhat spotted and rains in the spring destroyed some acreage in the lowlands. Favorable weather within the past few weeks has Improved the outlook in that section. The crop is somewhat later than last year and yields in some localities are dependent on the holding off of frost, especially where fields have been clipped for hay. Some dwarf ha3 already been harvested. Prices to growers have ranged mostly $5 to $5.50 per 100 pounds, basis clean seed, compared with $6 to $8 last year, $5 to $6 two years ago and $7.50 to $9 three years ago at a somewhat later date, when movement was beginning. Contracts have already been made for some seed. The average price per 100 pounds paid to growers for the crop years 1921 to 1926 were as follows: 1921, $4.70; $8.80; 1923, $9.50; 1924, and 1926, $8.85. 1922, $6.90; 1925, $6.40; The carryover is unusually large and is much greater than the relatively small carry over of last year, which in turn was larger than that of previous years when production was much less. Although movement of the 1926 crop was most rapid In years, with shipments exceeding those of the previous year, stocks held by shippers in the forepart of January were likewise greater. Production in Canada is expected to be less than last year due mainly to somewhat smaller acreage. " FIRE! - FIRE! FIRE!

We had many wonderful experiences but space will not permit me to re-- i late them here. We preached the gospel in fifteen different towns and cities and held meetings in three and at these meetings we had 70, SO and 130 people out, and it was a great joy to us to be able to reach so many people who had never heard of the revealed gospel of Christ. During our trip of five weeks we were very richly blessed and although we had things to put up with which we would not stand for at home, we were very thankful to have it as good as we did. "We had a bed to sleep in every night and the food we needed. Many of the boys had to sleep in grain fields and in the woods, and go without much food, so in comparison we were well taken care of. We slept five in a bed many times but that is much better than in a grain field.
