A WORD OF WARNING TO
 THOSE WHO BUY FEED

To those farmers and others who are buying feed let me send out this word of warning.
 You are paying S1.60 per hundred pounds for what you believe is cot ton seed meal when in fact you are getting about IA to 46 per cent cot ton seed meal. The remainder is ground up hulls. In other words you get about 45 pounds of feed value out of every hundred pounds of stuff bought.
 You are not only paying entirely too much for your feed but you are cheating your old COW. When you began buying cotton seed meal you were told not to feed more than a quart to your cow and you found that quantity was sufficient. You are now feeding very low grade feed and have not noticed that it is not as good as formerly but you are wonder ing why old jersey is not looking we'll. | Now don't jump your local dealer for he is as helpless as we are. If he didn't keep feed stuff to sell us we would raise all kinds of trouble with him. He goes into the market and buys whatever he can get and doubtless some of them are as igno- rant of the fraud that is being perpe- trated on them as we have been.
 suppose the Bureau of Mines, Manufacture and Agriculture is not responsible They inspect all feed stuff and have every sack properly tagged. All you have to do is to read the tag on your feed sack and see for yourself. But I believe the Commis- sioner ought to send out word of warning to the people
 As 1 see it the only thing for us to do is to make other arrangements about feed for our cattle in the future. When the oil mills first began selling us their products we could very well afford to sell our cotton seed and buy in exchange there for oil meal. Then you could get 100 pounds of pure cot ton seed meal for S1.40, now you pay '$l.60 to $1.65 per hundred for mix
The Prescott daily news., 1914-02-17

ture that contains 45 pounds of feed value. Or to make it still more plain you must exchange about six bushels of cotton seed for 45 pounds of feed value.
 But that is not the worst of it, many of our farmers are buying this stuff for fertilizer. Pure cotton seed meal is no doubt good fertilizer. seriously doubt whether it is as econ omical as some others but when you pay $1.65 for 100 pounds of stuff that contains only 45 pounds of real meal you are paying too much for your whistle.
 I am of the opinion that it would be good thing for our people. farm CTS and merchants, to get together and do a little team work. We can regulate this matter if we want to do so And it is not necessary to have an organization that will take years to perfect to do it.-The eternal broth therhood of man demands that we stand together on these matters.
 In the mean time let every farmer resolve that he will not be caught mapping again We used to get along pretty well feeding cotton seed to our cattle and we can do it again. But there are other ways out of it. We could get along without either cotton seed or cotton seed meal. Why not raise more hay on the farm. Perhaps the oil mills will yet teach us a val uable lesson.

A TRIED AND PROVED
 GUARANTEE
Man Bought Bottle of Dodson's Liv- CT Tone, Then Took It Back and Asked for His Money
 and Got It.

A man recently tried out the guar antee which Hesterly Drug Store give with every bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone. He bought bottle and then went back to the drug store and said the medicine hadn't helped him.
 This druggist just reached into his cash register and took out half dol lar, the price of the bottle of Liver Tone, and handed it back to the gen l-tleman. But he didn't take the money. He owned up that he was just trying the guarantee and, as matter of fact he had found Dodson's Liver Tone the best remedy for constipation and bil- iousness he had ever tried why" he said, ''my wife wouldn't be without Ia bottle in the house for anything It's the best thing in the world for the whole family, and the medicine that prefer to take or to give to my child ren for lazy liver.
 Hesterly Drug Store sell Dodson's Liver Tone and guarantee it to start the liver without violence. It is taking the place of calomel everywhere. If you buy a bottle and don't find this pleasant-tasting vegetable liquid the best thing to start lazy liver, he will hand your money back with smile.

Why I Go To Church

,ronoressman Claude Weaver of Ok ,ohnma in Leslie's Weekly of August M, 19l3.) ,,, or;nr wbon the air is aquiver with the love sonos of the birds and fragrant with tbe odor of roses blown, to hear the music of the church going bells, an invitation to the world-wearied to en- ter Gods temple and find peace, be- cause the instinct of worship is in tbe heart of man and the church is the temple of the living God.
 % to church because 1 find peace there. that peace which De Quincy described as a resting from human labors. a Sabbath of repose, q respite cranted from the secret burdens of the heart. as if l stood at a distance and aloof from the uproar of life; as if the tumult and fever and strife were suspended; as if there brooded over me a dovelike and halcyon calm. I go to church because 1 love the music that l hear there, the mighty roll of the great organ, mingled with the marvellous symphonies of that de- vine stringcd instrument, the human voice. untwiSted all the chains that tie the hidden soul of harmony. go to church because 1 delight to hear the teachings of the preacher, whose soul is dedicated to God, whose field is as wide as Gods universe, whose theme is the destiny of man, and whose words are the oracles of Fate Marvellous is the spell of the preacher of illustration drawn from the old, sacred, immortal book, and from the miracles of nature, no less revealed in the crimson tipped flower turned up by the plowshare of Robert Burns upon the soil of Ayr than in the long reaches of the star-girt skies.
 l go to church because "the way is dark and am far from home," and because the church is the polar star to light my pathway in the rayless night
 l go to church because the church ministers not only to the spiritual but also to the material needs of life, and because it is there that the charities that soothe and heal and bless are scattered at the feet of man like flowers.
 l go to church because in that at mosphere vice and crime wither and die,
 go to church because 1 hear the teachings of the philosophy of Jesus, the lncomparable man; and if you say ms teaching is philosophy and not re- nglon and that he was man and not a god then the philosophy of that man naS redeemed the world from savag- cry and blessed mankind with Christ Ian civilization, and, to my mind, it is Ihlng worth while to hear.
 l go to church because I find there VohSolatlon and hope; because I see 'nere the dawn and not the sunset; ana It Is better for man, if the hope is oaSeIess and the vision but an elu- siSe phantom, to cherish a dream so glorious and beautiful than to be "e'shted down and crushed with the q'arried mountains of world with out hope and without God.
