You can make a thorough prOve-it-tO-
you test of this guaranteed rupture
holder without having to risk a single
cent
Wen send it to you for sixty days
trial-practically lend il to YOU that
Iong-just to let you see for yourself
howit takes all the misery out Of being
ruptured
II the so Days Trial we allow doesn't
prove that il will keen your rupture
any Way-in spite of any work you do
or any other strains-then il won't cost
you penny
The Only Thing Good Enough
To stand such A Test
You know as well as we that a mere
try n-like at a druSstOre-can' pos
sibly prove whether a truss or anything
else for rupture is going to do any
good
Neither is just a few days trial a safe
test A truss or sO-called appliance
may seem alright the first week or so
and then turn OUc 20 be no good what
ever.
But you can't possibly make a mis-
take if you are allowed sixty days time
in which to make a test
And there IS only one thing OF any
kind for rupture that you can get on
such long trial
Only one thing good enough to stand
such q long and thorough test
That IS our guaranteed rupture holder
the famous Cluthe Automatic Massag-
ing Truss
Made On New Principle
The Cluthe Truss is so radically diff
ferent from everything else for rupture
that it has received eighteen separate
patents. Made on an absolutely new
principle-far more than just q truss
1t has so thoroughly proved its merits
in nearly 500. 600 cases that surgeons in
the Z. S Army and Navy and physicians
in all parts of the world now recon-
mend it instead of advising operation
A rupture cant possibly be relieved
can't even be Kept from growing worse
unless protected against all strains

In the Heat Of Battle

Henry Currier is now travelling
in Texas for St. Louis paper
house and writes interesting letters
to his Washburn friends about his
experiences near the border line.
He says he was at Ell Paso when
the fighting broke out at Juarez.
He explains that Jaurez is to Ell
Paso what Moorhead is to Fargo
and about the same distance apart.
Juarez is famous for its race tracks
which are said to be the best in
the world. They have about 100
days Of races there each year. and

Currier says he was only a half
mile from where the fighting was
going on but he was behind q
brick. wall. The Mexicans are
very poor shots and no one wants
to take any chances when the bull
lets are heard going by. Last
May there were twelve people
killed along the line and this time

Big Spuds Imported

New York. Feb. 15.-Six large
consignments of potatoes are ex-
pected to arrive in New York from
abroad during the next two days,
bringing the total receipts for the
season up to a million sacks. The
duty on the entire quantity will
foot up to nearly 100000.
Imports will decrease from now
on. as Germany and France are
both buying heavily in Ireland
and England. This ls the first
year that America has gone abroad
for potatoes since 1908.
10 the United States growers
raise about seventy-five bushels Of
potatoes to the acre. while in Eng.
land and Ireland the crops run
from 200 to 235 bushels to the
acre.

Back to tie Farm

Farming requires the greatest
industry, the keehest intellect and
the best training Of all the pro-
fsssions.
A days skilled labor on the farm
at the present time produces twice
as much food as it did fifty years
ago.
Paying cash for labor is burden
to the farmer which is well-nigh
iintolerable; and yet, if he does his
own work ,he lnust either have
q very small farm 81 m q very large
family Of boys aud girls, who.
moreover, are likely to leave him
.as they approach their majority.
Mat, then, are We to do to stop

that some OF it gives vigorous
termination Of eighty per cent, the
question arises as to the compari-
tive value Of such ears. In answer,
1t might be we'll to study the
probabilities.
There are 1856 hills per acre
when corn is planted forty-two
inches apart each way. This with
a perfect stand Of three stalks per
hill, would make 1O,668 stalks per
acre. Granting that seed Of the
above vitality would give only an
eighty per cent stand, it would
mean 2,l33 missing stakes per
acre; and allowing an average
cured ear of seven ounces per
stack, this would mean loss per
acre of thirteen bushels. Carry
ing the matter one step father
and granting that, when a bushel
of seed-corn has been properly
graded. there remains an amount
sufficient to plant only five acres
we find the real difference between
a bushel of corn that gives a per-
feet stand. and one that gives an
eighty per cent stand, to be mat
ter Of sixty.tive bushels of corn at
husking time. Figuring this
amount at any price that is rea-
soma BILE, one can not but condemn
the use of seed-corn of such low
vitality.
II is true that when the farmer
knows his seed-corn has a vitality
of but eighty per cent, he can Or.
range to drop more corn per hill.
Logically, he will raise the per
.eentage of stand by SO doing, but
he has done nothing to. get rid OF
the weakly stalks, and is bound to
have a certain PERCENTAGE Of crowd
ed hills. And when he has husked
the small ears of the crowded hill.
and the ''nubbin'' Of the waekly
stalk, he has reaped the harvest of
poor management. and should be
wiser as to what is good seed corn.
