Function of the Newspaper.

A soicitCr for newspaper subscrip-
tions made this remark out of his
personal experience the other day:
Some of the keenest critics the
newspapers have TO meet are people
who rarely read home newspaper,
at least, never pGtroniZe it regularly.
They borrow it of friends, or steal
glances at it in hotels, barber shops
or reading rooms. If there were no
newsg apers here they would be the
first ones to deplcre the lack of pub-
lie spirit.
The newspaper makes possible all
kinds of private and public enterpris-
es. If you want TO get anything done
whether it be your children educated,
your products sold, or your gospel
preached, you have got TO tell people
about it in some public way. No kind
of organization is possible without
public discussion.
You can sell goods for more and
buy them for less through the eX-
chsnge Of information which the
newspaper makes possible.
4 newspaper can perform these
great services efficiently only when it
is loyalty supported by the public.

his small share through a newspaper
subsM iprion is like one VINO has en-
ioyed a feast, but who lodges the

the best thing to do under the circum-

Immediately the change appeared,
the people began to complain of Pc

druggist was to blame, that their bot

with. This made bad feelings between
the users of Pe-ru-na and the drug

complaint to the wholesalers and man.

porarily in an uproar.
After year of explanation the trade
quieted down and the new Pe-ru-na
took its place In the drug stores as a
popular household remedy. And yet 1t
has not attained the popularity that
the other Pe-ru-na had. Changing the
formula of Pe-ru-na was equivalent to
introducing new IleulClflt INTO the
drug trade, an extremely difficult
thing to do nowadays.
Pe-ru-na as it is made today is a
very excellent remedy for catarrh and
general catarrhal ailments. 1t is for
sale in all drug stores and has a
slight laxative effect, very much need

that it was in many ways better rem

In response to great many queries /
wish to make public statement concern
ing the sale of Pe-ru-na.
No, we are not selling as much
Pe-ru-na as we used to. The reason for
this is the change in the formula Of
Pe-ru-na.
The patent medicine business is very
peculiar and particular. A person who
has been in the habit of taking patent
medicine will notice very quickly the
slightest alteration in color, taste or
effect. 1t does not look as it used to, or
smell as it used to, or have exactly the
same taste as 1t used to. 1t does not
feel exactly the same in the stomach as
before. The medicine will be promptly
returned to the drug store and new
bottle demanded.

A WASTE AND AN ANTIQUITY.
Haystack Should be Relic of the
Past on Every Well Regu-
lated Farm.

A haystack has no more business
On $50 TO 5000 an acre farm than
a longhorn Texas steer or prairie
rooter hog. Because it doesn't pay.
1t is directly opposed to economy and
efficiency in a business which calls
for economy and efficiency in opera
ton quite as loudly as does the pack
ing business where nothing but the
squeal of a pig gets away. The hay
belongs within doors and under COW
er as much as the hogs, the horses,
the mich cows and the feeding
steers. Because none of them can
stay out in the weather and the snow
and rain without cost to the man
who owns them, says the MARSHALL
town Times-Republican.
The agricultural department rec
ords show that the farm value of hay
in 1911 was $14.64 per ton. That is,
good hay was worth that on the farm
where it was cut and cured. 1t was
worth more last year than in previous
years but it was worth S12.26 the
year before and s10.62 the year be-
fore that. In 1908 the farm value
of hay was $S.9S, to all practical
purposes SO.
The man who stacks hay must lose
part of it. How much depends large
ly upon the skill of the stacker and
the weather it must endure; but it
is perhaps not too high an estimate
to assume that he loses ten per cent
of the value of bright, good hay. If
so he loses a dollar and forty-six
cents out of every S14.64 he handles
in his hay crop. On S1,462 he loses
one hundred and forty-siX dollars.
One hundred and forty-six dollars
will pay six per cent interest on the
money to build hay and horse and
cattle barn to cost about $4,000. 1t
will pay the interest on the cost OF
good hay and straw barn and leave
enough to pay the hired man through
June and July and into August.
The hay stack hasn't any business
on a two hundred dollar an acre farm
and it's poor relation the strawstack
| is in the same fix. 1t ought to have
shelter because It is worth pulling
under cover. 1t belongs in the dry.
1t doesn't pay to leave it out in the
field to rot down. 1t doesn't pay to
burn it as it used to do when land
was ten dollars an acre. In the long
run it doesn't pay to bale it at the
stack even if the price is good. In
the end it comes to soil robbing and
to commercial fertilizer.
j over in the Rock River valley OF
| Illinois is one of the fine farming
sections of the United States. 1t
isn't as good today as central Iowa,
nor are its farms selling equally as
we'll with our farms. 1t isn't as good
land now. Those people believed the
soil inexhaustible. They sold hay
and straw and cornstocks off 1t Tor
years. They were a generation ahead
of Us and their land is a generation
worse off than ours will be if we heed
the lesson of the example.
A haystack is an antiquity 1t is
a loss. Aggregated from all over
Iowa it is a great waste.
