MAKES RHEUMATISM
PROMPTLY DISAPPEAR
Chronic, Crippled-up Sufferers
Find Relief After Few Doses
OF New Remedy are
Taken

1t is needless to suffer any longer
with rheumatism, and be all crippled
up, and bent out of shape with its
mountaineering pains, when you can
surely avoid it.
rheumatism comes from weak. in
active kidneys, that fail to filter from
the blood, the poisonous waste mat
ter and uric acid; and it is useless to
rub on lininents or take ordinary
remedies to relieve the pain. This
only prolongs the misery and can't
possibly cure you.
The only way to cure rheumatism
is to remove the cause. The new dis
coVery, Croxone, does this because It
neutrallzes and dissolves all the poi
sonous substances and uric acid that
lodge in the joints and muscles, to
scratch and irritate and cause rheu-
matlsm, and cleans out and strength
ems the stopped-up, inactive kidneys,
so they can filter all the poisons from
the blood and drive it on and out OF
the system.
Croxone is the most wonderful
medicine ever made for curing chron-
&c rheumatism, kidney troubles, and
bladder disorders. You will find 1t
different from all other remedies.
There is nothing else on earth like it.
1t matters not how old you are, or
how long you have suffered, it IS
practically impossible to take it into
the human system without results.
You will find relief from the first few
doses. and you will be surprised how
quickly all your misery and suffering
will end.
An original package of Croxone
costs but trihe at any hrst-class
drug store. All druggists are at
thorized to sell it on positive money
back guarantee. Three doses day
for few days is often all that IS
ever needed to cure the worst back
ache or overcome urinary disorders

HOW ooMoREssmEn GET Rlom

A Washington special states
how "tidly little fortunes" are
being accumulated by some men,
bers of Congress.
Thrifty members, it is said.
900 and $4,000 out of two terms
in Congress. while other members
who have served five or six terms
and who come from districts
where the nomination is as good
as an election. have become plut-
ocrats. according to the stand
ards Of their communities. out of
the emoluments of their office.
The average senator or repre-
sentative who accumulates what
to him means a comfortable for
tune while serving his country
does it by living on his mileage
and mucilage," as they say in the
cloak room.
Live on $500 a Year
There are at least a score of
representatives who are living on
$1,000 wear and supporting
families. There are one or two
senat whose expenditures for
household expenses do not run
over $4,000 a year. The peruui-
sites attached to their offices fur
nish the sum necessary for their
living expenses and their salaries
of 1900 year are "salted" away
against the time when some other
man will take their place in con-
gress.
The mileage allowance of'mem-
berS of congress varies accord
ing to the distance thew havn to
travel to get to Washington. but
the average is between $500 and
$500 a season. 1t usually costs
about a quarter of this UNI to
make the round trip.
Save on Stationery
Every representative and sena-
tor gets a stationery allowance of
1925 DER season. but as any men,
Der can get all the stationery he
needs from his committee with
out cost a frugal member can
draw this amount in cash.
Representatives are allowed
one clerk at $1,000 a year and
senators have two, ranging from
$500 to $4,000 a year. The fru-
gal representative who is out for
the money appoints his wife. or
some other member of the family.
as his clerk, and gets along by
writing the necessary letters him
self.
Both senators and representa-
tives get free shaves" and "free
baths" and the stationery room
furnishes most of the household
necessities. except food and cloth
ing at cost.

TO IMPROVE COUNTY FAIRS.

The West Central Minnesota Devel.
opment Association is working On a
new idea for the Improvement of
county fairs. This improvement is to
be brought about by linking these fairs
with the general work of the associa.
ton so that the quantity and quality
of exhibits can be improved. 1t is also
proposed to hold these county fairs in
a yearly sequence or circuit Just as
the state fairs are handled. If this
can he done outside attractions can
go from fair to fair by continuous
routing, and in that way the expense
to the fair will be practically cut in
two.
1t is suggested that an educationa,
exhibit from the State Agricultural
College shall be sent to each fair. II
this is done. especially in combina.
ton with an exhibition from the
county association itself there is no
doubt but that the plan will be won.
derful improvement over the old sys.

BIG MONEY FOR FARMERS
Time Spent Testing Seed Worth $500
an Hour.

l.. O. Wise, agent, Wright county,
Iowa: A number of letters were sent
out from this Office to farmers and
school teachers the first of February
asking that they test sample of corn
and send the results to me. Follow.
ing are the results of the teachers
test: Per cent strong II, weak, Is. Per
cent dead 9. Farmers test: No. ears
tested 267S. Per cent strong Sc. Per
cent weak 5. Per cent dead 3.
The test was made from the seed
corn put away for this springs plant
ing and does not represent tests from
cribbed corn, but tests from stored
seed corn. The results as noted is 7S
per cent strong, 10 per cent weak,
and per cent dead.
believe this is fairly accurate
test and should carry some weight as
to the vitality of the seed in the
county. Many farmers have consid.
cred that the corn put up early in a
good place is of sufficiently strong vi.
tally to not warrant testing.
Let US figure If that is the case &C.
cording to this test. Ten per cent
dead or weak corn when planted may
mean even lower vitality than rep
resented in this test. If 10 per cent
is dead and weak to start with then
one tenth Of every acre is not planted
to corn, and should you be putting out
100 acres of corn, this means that ten
acres of your land is not growing
to corn. Suppose your corn tests SO
per cent strong and 8 per cent dead,
that means that every 100 ears has
two dead ones in it,; 100 ears will
plant about or 8 acres of corn after
Smelling off butts, tips, and grading.
If two ears are dead then on a field
80 rods long you have one and one.
half rows Of corn in every acre not
planted. Will it pay to test? One
and one-half rows at so bu. per acre
equals S.32 blu. Of corn. To test 100
ears of corn will require about two
hours of work. Can you afford to work
two hours for 1872 bushels of corn?
l believe you can. On the basis of
100 acres of corn it means an addi.
tional yield Of approximately 100
bushels. There is always satisfaction
in knowing that your seed is strong in
vitality and this insures the main
point in securing an even start with
the growing of corn crop.

IMPROVE COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Consolidated School viii Give coun.
try Children Better Education.


Consolidation of the country school,
Is becoming more and more q matter
Of vital importance to the people OF
the country. This is an age when
great advancement is being made
along all lines of agricultural pursuits
and the country school should keer
pace with the great development TAX
ing place in all things with reference
to the farm life. This cannot be done
under existing conditions.
While many of our country schools
are endeavoring to give to the boys
and girls of the districts, instruction
in agriculture. they are seriously han
dicapped by lack of time to success
fully handle a subject of this kind
where only ten or fifteen minutes can
be given to such recitation and In
many cases it can be given only once
each week.
The great need today is the con.
solidated school for by dividing the
grades among two or three teachers,
1t gives an. opportunity to teach these
subjects without robbing the primary
grades of time which rightfully be-
longs TO them.
First-lt gives high school advan.
