"GETS-IT",-one, two, three, and it's
done! The corn begins to shrivel,
away she goes, surely, absolutely.
A few drops will do it. "GETS-IT"
never makes toes red and raw. Corn
pains 90! 1t means the end of cut
ting and gouging of corns, the end
of stick piasters that don't work
anyhow, the end Of salves that eat
up your toes, no more "harness", or
fussing. Try "GETS-IT," the new,
sure:way, for corns and calluses.
"GETS-IT" is sold by all druggists,

spreading death where'er they're trot-
ting, these crusaders disappear-they
leave us to do the swatting. When
there is no snow to dig from the
walks before your hovel, people come
in arctic rig, asking if they may no,

always Helping Hands when no task

Conserving Moisture

How to store and conserve. mois-
ture in land that is being plowed for
the first time is question worth con-
sidering. If virgin sod is plowed deep,
that is, more than three or four
inches. it is very apt to be unproduc-
tive. due to the fact that the soil is
not aerated, nor does it, below three
or four inches, contain active humus,
a substance necessary to maintain soil
bacteria.
The thin ribbon of sod is known to
dry out very rapidly and that the
-plow sole of the furrow is apt to be
too compact to freely admit water.
Hence moisture is lost by evapora-
ton son after it falls if the weather
is at all dry. Scientific study of con-
serving moisture has taught people
that if they use the broad duckbilled
srbsoil plow it breaks up the COM
pact soil to such an extent that large
air spaces are created thereby pre-
vcring capillary attraction. Again
such plow requires an enormous
amount of power if the soil is very
compact. An implement that simply
cats cash three-eighths of an inch
in thickness to depth of eight or
ten inches below the bottom of the
iurrow does not interfere with capil-
larry action nor hinder root develop
n,cnt. hut in that cash water and air
are freely admitted. Such plow can
easily be drawn by two horses. When
water falls it naturally falls into the
crack or slit, spreads out and obeying
natures law or capillary attraction,
moves upwards, rotting any hard pan
that may exist and mellows compact
soils.
Experiments have demonstrated
that :he roots Of corn, flax and other
grain will grow no farther than the
strip of sod turned, unless the soil be.
loa is made mellow. which is ef-
fectu; lily accomplished by the use OF
such an implement. If the farmer,
when he piows his sod for the first
time, viii follow in each furrow with
this type If plow and subsequently
disc before the soil is dried out he
will have provided not only means
of storing water, but of conserving 1t.

SERMONETTE

You might think the future is pleasant,
And ladder is fixed up TO climb;
Yet wish elevators were lpresent
To hoist you to regions shblime
But how have you lived while you're living?
And how do you think twill be?
Do you think m theyve reserved an apartment?
Just wait till you get there and see.
Some words you have said over comrade
Some flowers you bought for friend,
Will not be the things that will get you
A front seat down on the right end.
For looking pious in public
Will never sweet comfort amass
You never can get into Heaven
By trying to ride on pass.
This world is a jolly old dwelling,
And in it you'v had good time;
But say, did you ever try giving
A poor drunken begger dime?
Perhaps the poor creature was like you
He might have tried hard to be good.
And you, yourself, mighs have been better
If you had but done as you should.
They say ev'ry man who is dying
Thinks of everything under the sun
That he could have done without trying
If once he had only begun.
A sinner is only sinner
A saint can be only saint.
Just scratch 'em, they say. and you'll find 'em,
Much similar, under the paint.
So, whether saint or sinner,
Distribute your brotherAy love;
Spread sunshine wherever you find it,
Prepare for place up Above.
The publican only could ask Him
For mercy; a sinner was he,
Yet he received mercy, and entered
The place where we llswant to be.

Base Ball,

A base ball game was played Sat-
urday at Cedar Falls between the
Teachers college and Penn college Of
Oskaloosa, in which Huston of the
Webster City White Sox pitched a
shut out game for Cedar Falls. 1t
was pitchers battle in which Hus-
ton had the advantage all the time,
striking out nineteen men and allow
ing only three scattering hits. In
fact, the feature of the game was the
superb twirling of Huston. This
was his first contest of the season
and shows he is already in fine form.
The score was 3 to O.
Next Saturday afternoon the
Stevens team of Fort Dodge will play
with the White Sox at the ball park
in this city and Huston will pitch
the game. This will probably be a
very interesting contest.

The Outlook.

The rain whichs was widespread
over this locality Friday and Satur-
day was a million dollar one, and
caused smile to appear on the face
of every farmer and everybody in
terested in a farm in this vicinity.
The hay crop, if not prevented by
another season of drought, will be
a bumper one. Corn and oats are
looking fine and the general pros
pect for crops is an unusually good
one. The croakers always bob up
after such a fine rain as we have
just received. The favorite words
of the croaker are sung to the old,
old tune, IF it hadn't a. rained jist
when it did'-here mournful
shake of the head-"crops would
have been a failure!"
