PfIINCE Os WALES
WILL SEEK BEST
To Go to Hist 6,000-Acre Ranch
in Alberta This Month to Re
cuperate for Two Weeks
HIGH RIVER, Alberta, Canada,
Sept. 4.—Edward Prince of Wales,
is coming to his ranch 25 miles
from here early in for
a real vacation.
That is the sole purpose behind
his determination to spend sqme
weeks roaming about on the 6000
acres of beautiful farm and ranch
land in the shade of the Canadian
Rockies.
He sails from England on Sept,
fi and his visit to Canada is not to
be interfered with in any way by
official engagements. In the past
few months he has had plenty of
those.
His world-wide popularity and
his position as the probable future
ruler of the British- empire, has
caused countless demands to be
made upon him to attend every I
Conceivable kind of function and j
Ceremony.
Until the end of October he is
going to spend the time directing
management of his pure bred
horses, cattle and sheep; in riding
over his extensive acres in which
ambitious streams well filled with
fatted trout ripple and partridge
and other game is plentiful.
In 11919 the prince became a
land owner in Canada.' At that
time, when a guest of George
Lane, native of Des Moines, la., on
the latter’s “Bar U” ranch. Edward
became so enthusiastic Lfbout the
Country he asked Lane to arrange
the purchase of the territory he
now calls his own.
Prof. W. L. Carlyle, one of the
test known agriculturists in the
west, was engaged aS manager, and
soon a f tier the prince reached
home he shipped pure-blooded
stock to the E. P. ranch, across the
sea
Horses that came from the roy
al stud. Cattle of the king.’s own.
Sheep of the finest.
The affection of the prince for
Canada is genuine. He likes to
come here.
The way to approach the E. P.
rflPch is from Chi gar y to High
®lver, 40 miles south, oh the Cana
dian Pacific ’tailroad. From High
River one has to drive southwest,
a distance of 25 miles, through one
of the richest grain growing and
stock raising countries in North
America.
For the first ten miles or so the
road goes through an undulating
country, where in the summer time
great fields Os whesft and rich pas
tppe lands stretch as far as the
eye Can'see: Then come generous
grazing areas, where cattle stay
out all winter and do well.
In the distance the jagged peaks
of the Rockies clip the clouds and
below, well wooded, are the foot
hills, with extensive belts of rich,
natural grass on which horses, cat
tle and sheep thrive. •
This then, is the country to
which the heir to the British throne
is coming. It will be his retreat
form the tiring social and official
duties which a crown prince in
herits whether he wants it or no.
He is going to shut himself from
.the world, to got baqk to nature
in it* truest sense, to take a real
vacation!

BEGIN HERE TODAY
Peter Pennington, detective,
is engaged to marry Monica
Viney, widowed sister of Cap
tain Jonn Hewitt, Commissioner
of Police at Jesselton, British
North Borneo. Pennington is
detailed by the government to
capture Chai-Hung, leader of
The Yellow Seven, a gang of
Chinese bandits. James Var
ney, who lives at the head of
the Tembakut River, received a
threatening message from The
Yellow Seven. Varney’s fad is
having himself tatooed by Zara-
Khan, skilled totooer.
NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY
“Come in here,” he shouted.
Varney appeared, rubbing his
eyes. He blinked wearily round
the room, smiled faintly at Pen
nington and, his faculties return
ing to him, bent over Chong-Hee.
“Dead!"
‘■Quite!’
“What on earths’ it all mean?”
“I heard him creeping about—
and helped him down the partition.
He must have fallen on his own
knife.’’
“Good Lord! I heard nothing.
Didn’t the dog bark?”
“You could harly expect it to. It
knew Chong-Hee.”
The hound had crept into the
room and was sniffling at the
corpse suspiciously.
“What do you advise me to do?”
asked Varney.
“Take reasonable precautions—
and don’t go about unarmed. You’ll
be in need of a new servant. I’ll
dig one out for you in the morn
ing—one of my mon. You’ll find
him perfectly reliable though a
trifle unsigtly!
The trader produced a pipe from
his dressing-gown and a small bag
of Dutch tobacco.
“We’d better get out of this.
It 11 be healthier on the veranZa.
What’s wrong with your man?”
Chai-Hung carved his face up a
bit when they last encountered
one another. He left him with one
eye and one ear—and his mouth’s
a deal wider than it ought to be.
But that sort of thing doesn’t damp
his ardor.”
Varney shuddered involuntarily
“What is he?”
“A half-caste of sorts. Call him
self Rabat-l’ilai. Claims to have
qualified in soinq remote quarter
of the globe as aq apothecary.”
“It’s mighty good of you.”
“Not at all. By the bye, d’youq
mind leaving the obsequies of the i
late Chong-Hee to his successor? 1
want to give him rather an elab
orate funeral. He doesn’t in the
least deserve it, I’ll admit, but it’s
just at this -moment occurred to
me that an opportunity has arisen
to enable me z to practice a slight
deception upon our friend Chai-
Hung. You -set, he once hoodwink
ed me much in the same manner.
Got himself buried—and cremat
ed, of all things! Sent me the ashes
into the bargain! The poions he
inserted in the knob of the urn
have done credit to ,a‘
Brogia.”
Varney hooked down the lamp.
“You want him to be buried as
yourself?”
“Precisely. Select a nice, comfy
little spot under the palm-trees
and get one of your skilled men
to paint a board with my name.
You can borrow Dawson’s bugler
to blow the Last Post, if you like.
EDMUHD SN6LU.
lUi.us-rtw.ygo By
R.vm. Sz*TTEt».?
It’ll cheer poor old Chai-Hung no
end! Will you do it?”
Certainly.” -
“Good man! Now I’ll clear out
so’s not to spoil the effect, and I
fancy I can guarantee that Rabat-
Philai and a few of my things to
add to the realism of the affair
will be with you inside an hour.
“Zara-Kahn,” said Varney, re
moving his singlet, “I’ve come to
the conclusion you’d better finish
the job while you’re here.”
The man in the turban' of red
and gold bowed.
“Very good, sah. What you want
me to do? An elephant with a
tigress clinging to the trunk would ,
be good.”
“I’ve got a tiger already,” said . ;
the trader, surveying his arm.
“A leopard with spots,,” sug-|
gested the prince of tatooers, “It !
would make a nice picture. I made
one like that one for the Rajah—” s
He broke off suddenly. He was'
staring at the door which led !
from the veranda. Varney, fol
lowing the direction of his gaze, I
saw the figure of an Oriental of
enormous girth framed' in the <
doorway. The newcomer wore a >
white tunic, buttoned up to the
neck, across which stretched the f
massive links of a gold chain. His I
legs wer encased in baggy trous- ’
ers of black silk that rustled in
the breeze and the third finger of :
his left hand displayed a ring set ■
with a large green stone.
“I trust I am not intruding,
gentlemen!” " :
The trader observed him coldly.
“Who are you?” he demanded,
reaching at the same time for his
tunic.
“Chai-Hung,” said the other,
simnlv.
Rabat-Pilai—what was in the act
of entering bv the opposite door—
dropped the jug of water he had
been carrying and fled.
“Chai-Hung?”
“Most certainly! Why not, Mr.
Varney. If you are still inclined
to doubt my word, Mr. Zara-Kahn
will enlighten you.”
Varhey’s hand swung round to
the back, but before his fingers
could close on the weapon he
sought, he found himself looking
down the barrel of Chai-Hung’s
automatic.
“Pray be seated—both of you. 1
was afraid you might be—a little
nervous at my unexpected arrival
—-and so took the precautiop of
bringing this!”
He drew forward a chair and
| I.,—o r od bim~olf into it.
“I understand that you buried
Mr. Pennington this morning. A
very lamentable affair! I was sorry
not to be able to be present my
self.”

POUND SUGAR PRICE
Cuban Raw Sugar Now Arriving
in New York Cost $3.85 Cwt.
With $1.76 Tariff Added
NEW YORK, Sept. , 4 Al-
though current prices of sugar at
retail are about three cents a
pound below those quoted in April,
May and June, the tariff con
tinues to be ftelt as a considerable '
factor in the cost of this staple. I
The duty of 1.76 cents a pound
on Cuban raw sugar, when added
to the initial price and pyramided
ajl along the line, stil! represents
two cents or more of the cost to
the consumer.
Cuban raw sugar landed in New
York and pledged for December
delivery was quoted a few days
ago at 3.85 cents a pound. If
there were no tariff on this sugar
the averagge housewife could buy
it for about 5 cents a pound.
Knowledge of the charges and
profits calculated by the importers
and refiners and dealers and a lit
tle arithmetical computation dis
close the effect of the tariff.
Landed at New York, a pound
of Cuban sugar worth 3.85 cents
would undergo a sudden apprecia
tion. The Government would col
lect the tariff of 1.76 cents. This
would be added to the previous
costs, and the sugar would then
be carried at 6.61 cents a pojahd.
Shrinkage—figured at 7 ! pg“
cent—is the next charge. With
this item of shrinkage included the
cost of the sugar would become 6 ’
cents a pound, and the addition of
further charges and profits would
’make the retail price about 7 1-2
cents.
Whether the price of Cuban raw |
sugar rise or fall, the- tariff of j
1.7648 cents a pound is always part
of it. But that is not all the dis
advantage of the tariff. Every
pound of sugar produced in the I
United States and Hawaii—upon '
which no duty is imposed by law
—is boosted 2 cents a pound by
the Sugar Trust because the tariff
gives that opportunity.

TUESDAY AFTERNOON,
WALLACE FUBNISHIKGI
WttlimilEll
Declared Democrats Are Under
Obligations to Republican
Cabinet Officers
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.—The
Democratic party is indebted to
Secretary Wallace for a confirma
tion of all that its national organ
ization has been saying about the
distressful condition of agriculture
and the' cause thereof.
The most pertinent thing that
Secretary Wallace says, according
to Democratic politicians here, is
that “The farmer could get along
fairly well with the present prices
of what he has to sell if prices
of what he must buy were down
accordingly. But prices of other
things remain high. That is what
hurts.”
Secretary Wallace, however, say
the same politicians, fails to state
the causes that produced this dis
parity between the prices the farm
er gets for his product and the
I prices he pays for what he buys.
He does not tell his readers that
the foreign policy of the Republi
can administration has destroyed
the farmer’s market abroad. He
does not tell that the Fordneyk
McCumber tariff is responsible for
the enormous increase in the prices
of everything the farmer must buy.
He does not tell the Republican
members of the “Farm bloc” bam
boozled the farmers by putting a
tariff duty upon agricultural prod
ucts, with the promise that it
would raise the prices thereof, in
order to altay their opposition to
the other tariff rates imposed upon
the people in the sole interest of
a special privileged class, and
which the Republican “Farm bloc”
supported.
The facts, however, are now
so generally known that taken in
connection with Secretary Wal
lace’s statement the two together
constitute the most severe arraign
ment of the Republican tariff poli
cy which has yet come from a
Republican source.

EUROPEAN CHAOS IS
MENACE TO AMERICA
•
NEW YORK, Sept. 4.—Ameri
ca’s peace and prosperity are me
naced by the present instability
and the prospective chaos; in Eu
rope according to John F. Sinclair
of Minneapolis, who has just re
turned from a five month’s survey
of the financial and economic con
ditions in sixteen European coun
tries. Unless the situation in Eu
rope is changed for the better,
Mr. Sinclair said, the United States
will suffer the worst industrial de
pression ever experienced.
“Naturally, our export trade is
going to suffer,” said Mr. Sinclair
to a representative of the New 1
York Times, after he had drawn
a gloomy picture of the present
and future of Europe. "The Amer
ican manufacturer and the Ameri
can farmer are in for a long per
iod of stormy weather, especially
the grain farmer, who has had no
chance to recover economic stab
ility since the war.”
Mr. Sinclair suggested that the
United States call an internation
al conference on war debts and re
parations as one method of ef
fecting an improvemetn in the Eu
-1 ropean situation.

A MAN WHO BECAME
FAMOUS
Doctor R. V. Pierce, whoso picture
appears above, was not only a success
ful physician but also a profound
student of the medicinal qualities of
Nature’s remedies, roots and herbs, and
by close observation of the methods
used by the Indians, he discovered their
great remedial qualities, especially for
weaknesses of women, and after care
ful preparation succeeded in giving to
the world a remedy which has been
used by women with the best results
for half a century. Dr, Pierce’s Favorite
Prescription is still in great demand,
while many other so called "cure-alls”
have come and gone. The 'reason for
its phenomenal success is because of its
absolute purity, and Dr. Pierce’s high
standing as an honored citizen of
Buffalo is a guarantee of all that is
claimed fpr the Favorite Prescription
as a regulator for the, ills peculiar
to women.
