comparatively shallow rooted grain
crops Their roots strike steadily deeper
and deeper and draw upon this deeply
stored moisture directly and indirectly
through the lesser distance that capil-
larry action must carry the more deeply
stored moisture to them. AS matter
Of fact, it is not uncommon to find q
portion of the roots of the wheat plant
penetrating to depth Of eight or ten
feet, although this does not occur, of
course, except where moisture has pene-
trated that far, for root penetration
follows only in the path Of moisture. "

the sharp plow would run deeper, ths
dull plow would run shaIlower. Al
night the plow was brought in. There
on the end Of shelf sat tomato can
with some machine oil and a paint
brush in it, and it was pleasure rather
than a task to grease all the bright
parts Of the plow. Then If there was
some damp weather and the plow was
not used for few days, there was no
question but what it would do its part
satisfactorily when wanted.
The same with the planter; it was
handler to take out some corn on the
planter than any other way, And with
the cultivator, the mower, the tedder
or hay rake, tho horse or team that
took them to the field brought them
back again before they were unhitched.
And even the binder the same; at
morning and noon when the binder was
in use there were 10 minutes or moro
spent on the binder with wrench, pliers
oil hole cleaner, oil can, ETC., and I
thought it was time well spent
When tho season 3 use Of each tool
was over, it was cleaned, all bright
parts creased, then put away in its
place, It was arranged to take tools
apart but ittlej all heavy parts put
back on ground floor, all lighter parts
put overhead. If any repairs wero
needed on tools when put away, notS
was made Of it, and then at some con-
venient time it was attended to, This
to some looked like lots Of needless
work, but to mo it was pleasure, or
the poetry Of farming, And it was
profitable, for the tools lasted about
twice as long.

CALOMEL ISAFORM
OF DEADLY MERCURY
Instead of Such Dangerous Stuff, it
is Recommended That You Take
Dodson's Liver Tone For
Constipation.

Dodson's Liver Tone was made
to take the place of calomel.
Calomel is a form of mercury, a
mineral and a poison. Dodson's
Liver Tone is an all-vegetable
liquid-never harmful.
What calomel does unpleasantly
and often with danger for consti-
patton and sluggish liver, bod
sons Liver Tone does for you
safely and pleasantly, with no pain
and no grippe. 1t does not interfere
in any way with your regular
business, habits or diet. You feel
good after taking it.
The great success and wide sale
of Dodson's Liver Tone are the
result of what it does for people.
Its merit is backed up by a guar
antee of satisfaction or your
money back" as the Newark Drug
Co. will tell you.
DodSon's Liver Tone was inten-
ded from the start to take the
place of calomel The label on the
bottle always has said SO, begin
ming with the first bottle sold.
Dodson's Liver Tone "iyens the
liver" overcomes constipation
aggreeably and makes you feel
good, and if you are not satisfied
completely with it the Newark
Drug Co. will hand back the pur-
chase price SOC. to you with a
smile.
When you go to buy a family
remedy, don't fail to Judge between
the plain, simple truth about Dod-
sons and the claims of its imita-
tors. That the public does SO ac-
counts for the enormous increase
in the sales of Dodson's Liver
Tone month after month. (adv.)

To the sentimental person, it is
rather touching to see boys yet in
their teens handcuffed together,
and treated as hardened criminals
as they are shuffled off to prison.
But the person, young or old, who
persistently refuses to be anything
other than a criminal, must be
treated as such.

cult.
Our state responsive to the cry
and needs of its children, it's ci-
tizenship Of tomorrow, is increas-
ing its expenses for schools at the
rate of One million dollars a year;
is insisting upon teachers of more
scholarship and training; is call
ing for better physical plants;
and is, for none can gainsay it,
succeeding in giving to its chill
dren an education that will COM
pare with that given by the most
advanced states in the Union.
But III our enthusiasm over the
splendid progress in matters edu-
cational made by the common
wealth as a whole, we must not
forget that the state represents
an entity with the Parish as its
unit, and that no chain is
stronger than its weakest link"
Saint John has in late years
taken its place in the vanguard
with the parishes that are max
ing long strides in educational
affairs. Not content to rest
upon its laurels", our parish plans
a bigger future for its schools
and looks with eagerness to the
day when its institutions will
give each pupil a vocational
training which is the logical de-
nand of organized society.
That this end be attained and
that the influence of its schools
BE felt by every aducable child in
The parish is the earnest desire
Of the Board of Directors. Teach
ers in whose hands this pamphlet
is placed are the agent of the
Board in their communities. They
are the specialists in whose care
have been entrusted young minds
for proper moulding, and to them
the Parish of Saint John looks fol
results.
Rules and regulations are ne
cessary and imperative where.
ever there is a community OF
interests, and hence their need
for the proper guidance Of those
engaged or brought in contact
with the school system of oul
parish.
