ADDITIONAL PROFIT
IN USING TOP DRESSER.
The use OF Top Dresser
y is no longer an experiment.

Farmers have clearly demonstrated that, by Using Top
Dresser, they have increased their yield on Wheat and Oats
and other crops, consequently deriving a larger net profit.
The vital period in the growth Of any crop is that period
during which the formation Of fruit is taking place. AT this
period, more than any other, the plant demands sufficient food
and must be p~lenthuly supplied with ammonia or nitrogen to
keep it growing and vigorous.
For Oats and Wheat cultivation you need A VIGOR-
GUS GROWTH OF HEAD AS WELL AS STALK.
YOU well know that the original application of fertilizers, at
planting time, is not fully sufficient to furnish the needed plant
food during the fruiting period; hence the vital necessity of
using first-class Top Dresser.
Our Top Dressers are made, using for the Ammoniate
.one-half Nitrate of Soda and onehaf Blood and Concentrated
Iankage. The Nitrate of Soda is very quick-acting, the Con-.
centrated Tankage also gives active results, and the Blood is
quickly soluble, and will result in giving the plant the needed
plant food to complete its development.
The season for applying Top Dresser to Oats and
Wheat is here. Place your orders NOW.
Approaching your patronage,
a Yours respectfully, ~

Auto Bandits Blow Up Georgia Bank.

Automobile bandits blew up the
Bank of Commerce at Summerville,
Ga, Tuesday, robbing the safe of
three thousand dollars cash, valuable
securities, and several hundred dol
lars in stamps.
They escaped in a waiting motor
car after a desperate battle with a
deputy sheriff and a business man in
which the latter two were badly
wounded.
A "osse pursued the robbers over
the hills into North Georgia, aided by
~bloodhounds.
Telephone wires leading to Sum-

fore the robbery and communication
with the outside world is extremely
difficult. This showed that the rob-
berry had been planned carefully. At
least five men we're in the party.

The clothing store of Smith 4

property taken of an estimated value

The pilferer or pilferers entered by
a rear doorway into the cellar. The
drop doors to the entrance were not
locked, but the door at the bottom OF
the cellarway was barred inside. The
thief cut hole at the top of the panel
and reached through with an iron
crook or jimmy and lifted the bar from
it's place, after which he pried the
door open. Once inside he found on
" two light doors to bar his way, and
these were cut through with heavy
knife. and fastenings unlocked. The
job is that of professional, and the
quantity of goods taken indicates the
same thing.

THE HOG DISEASE
Is Il Cholera, Pneumonia or What?
Asks Rolfe Arrow, and Says
Barking Up Wrong Tree"

Aren't we just a little bit out of
plumb on this hog disease question?
Do hogs ever have anything but hog
cholera? Isn't it reasonable to sup
pose that with heart, lungs, liver,
kidneys, bladder, circulation of the
blood and an omniverous appetite that
a hog might be afflicted much as are
humans? All the disease we ever heard
of in connection with hogs is cholera.
With all due respect to the learned
gentlemen who are trying to check the
cholera We suggest the wisdom of first
getting a thorough and proper dag
nosis A farmer friends who believes
in studying things as he sees them

say-recently told US of loses sus-

opened them up. The bowels were in

lungs were purified. Why wasn't this

was the use of vaccinating for chol-

spending million dollars to discover
a way to prevent or cure hog cholera,
and if the appropriation is made let
the scope of the committee in charge
be extended to an investigation of hog
diseases other than cholera. We may
be barking up the wrong tree in many
cases.

NUGENT
TO JERUSALEM
Rev. James Nugent. Of Oes Moines
One Of Best Known Catholic Min.
listers, Offered New Consuiship
SEC. BRYAN URGES ACCEPTANCE
Many Oenison People Remember
Father Nugent, Having Heard Him
From the Lecture Platform.

Rev. James Nugent, one of the best
known Catholic ministers in the mid
die west and pastor of the Church OF
Visitation at Des Moines, has been
offered the position of consul at je,
rusaem by President Wilson. The
offer was brought about through Sec
rotary Bryan. the priest and the noted
commoner having formed strong
friendship. Father Nugent will be re-
membered by many Denison people,
having lectured in this city on two &C.
casions, and was one of the most pop
ular lecturers that has ever visited
this vicinity. The Register and Lead
er of Des Moines of last Friday says:
"A trip Father Nugent made last
winter to the Holy City may have had
something to do with the offer OF the
post by the government. Father MI
gent delivered number of lectures in
Europe and spent considerable time
studying conditions in and around Je-
rusalem. On his return to his home
he declared that the Turks had made
great progress in the Holy City, and in
Jerusalem itself, while the christian
influence had declined in the very city
and country where the Savior lived
and worked.
"On his return home Father Nugent
stopped off at Washington. His
friends believe that his statement con-
corning conditions in the Holy land
made an impression upon Secretary
Bryan. who decided to offer him the
post at Jerusalem.
"Followlng his return home Father
Nugent gave no indication that he was
considering the Jerusalem consulship
or any other post in the government
| service.
Father Nugent has been pastor of
the Church of Visitation for more than
quarter of a century and is one OF
the best known priests in the state. In
addition to caring for his parish, he
has found it possible to devote consid
cradle time to the lecture platform and
has been unusually successful. Father
Nugent is vel. known democrat and
his personal relations with Secretary
Bryan have been so we'll known that
there was no surprise among his many
friends last night when they heard
that he was considering position
which would take him from Des Moines
tor some time"
| Declines Position.
Father Nugent telegraphed secre
tary Bryan on Saturday declining the
position rendered him by the pres
ident of the United States as consul al
Jerusalem. He had returned yester
day from a trip in the east and i'm
mediately conferred with members
of his church. He felt that he could
not afford to neglect his parish with
which he has long been identified.
