THE FARMERS INCOME
Measures in Products, Not Money, Says
Department of Agriculture.

Washington, Jan 4.--Rewards of a
farmer are measured in the products his
farm furnishes him directly rather than
in dollars and cents, according to the
department of agriculture in state
ment on the results OF an investigation
concerning the farmers income. The
average farmer receives little more mon
ey for his years work than he would
be paid il he hired himself out as farm
hand, the investigation shows. In 9th
er words, though he il in business for
himself, the average farmer gets little
or no money reward for his labors and
risk and responsibility he has assumed
The average value OF the chief neces-
stiles OF life-food, fuel, oil and shell
ter--used each year by the farm family,
was S595.0S OF these necessities, esti-
mated in money, the portion contribn-
ted directly by the farm was S42l.l7,
leaving necessities 10 the value OF
Sl73.gl to be purchased by the farmer.
OF the food consumed SO per cent was
furnished by the farm, which varied con-
siderably in different sections. II was
greatest in North Carolina, where farms
supplied 0S3 per cent Of the food con-
sumcd, while the average in New York
was only j04.
In view OF the present economic cri-
sis in the South, the department points
out, this fact is regarded as OF particular
significance, since it demonstrates the
extent TO which with a proper system
of agriculture, southern farms could be
made self-sustaining.

FOR UNSkDHTLY
COMPLEXIONS
USE RESINOL.

Pimples and blackheads disappear,
unsightly compilations become clean,
clear, and yelvety, and hair health and
beauty are promoted by the regular
use Of Resinol Soap and an occasional
application of Resinol Ointment. These
soothing, healing preparations do their
work easily, quickly and at little cost,
when even the most expensive cosmetics
and complicated beauty treatments fail.
Resinol is not an experiment. II is
a doctors prescription which proved
so wonderfully successful for skin trou-
bles that it has been used by other
doctors all over the country for nine
teen years. No other treatment for the
skin now before the public can show
such record of professional approval.
Every druggist sells Resinol Ointment

POTATOES AS FLUID.
At Firat Only the Seed of the Tubers
Was Thought Fit to Eat.

At First Only the Seed OF the IuberS
Was Thought Fit to Eat.
When potatoes were first used for
food II was the seed" or apple" that
was used, and it was some time before
the tuber was found TO be the most
delicious food. Up to the end Of the
seventeenth century the potato was
out of the reach of people Of moderate
incomes 1t is recorded that in 1869
potatoes were sold at ! shilling (25
cents a pound in the London markets.
but the sale was small because so
many people believed that the potato
caused leprosy and fever Others de-
clared that they were endangertng
their souls If they ate the potato, since
the tuber was not mentioned In the
Bible.
The late Duke OF Argyll in his his
tory Of Scotland says that little or
nothing was known of the potato in
Scotland until long past the middle of
the eighteenth century. The Duchess
of Buccleuch, in her Household Book
for the year l701. speaks Of the potato
as IAN esculent or great rarity.
Hugh Miller. in his schools and
Schoolmasters. says that his mater
nal grandfather about the year l740
used to bring home in his pocket some
three or four potatoes as great rarities
grown by the gentry. for be was a
friend of the head gardener at Balna-
gown castle Thomas Carlyle tells us
that his father got possession OF four
potatoes and knew so little about them
that he hid them away for possible
time OF want and that potatoes were
saved TO be eaten at Halloween. There
is no doubt that the Irish were the first
people to recognize the value of the
potato as staple article of food

adding machine was modified to faciii-

Paymaster's Assistant at TT.
Ethan Allen Forged
Check for $3,560
HAS BEEN GONE
SINCE DEC. 20
Gave Champagne Supper
and Vanished with
Blonde"

Burlington, Jan. 4.--lnformation was
obtained Saturday from Fort Ethan Al
len that John A. Howard, paymaster' i
clerk with the "a cavalry, had fled with
| 4 little more than $4,000 of army funds.
The robbery was accomplished by means
OF forgery and the theft was not dis
covered until Howard had been gone 10
days Howard had been paymaster's
clerk for two years and as he was
thought TO be a man of good habits con-
sirable confidence was reposed in him.
| IL was customary TO send him to the
Howard National bank in Burlington
for the money with which troops were
paid off, and this facilitated matters
when it came to the robbery.
On Dec. Is Lieut. w. ID. Summer, the
quartermaster, was relieved by Capt.
Wilson G. Heaton and in turning over
the accounts ii was discovered that they
did not balance Towards attention
was called TO this. but he said that the
mistake could easily be found, He had
previously asked for l0-days furlough
and was due to leave on that day. He
accordingly went to Burlington and
there forged Lieut. Summers name on
a check drawn for $500 on the govern
inent funds, That night he gave a re-
ception and announced that he was
about to marry a notorious woman IN
burlington. known as "Blondie,p and
who gave her name as Violet Losejoy.
Champagne was drunk in large guam
titles and no expense was spared. In
the morning all of the woman's house
hold goods were given away and the
couple left for parts unknown.
The robbery was learned when Wash
ugton notified Summer he had over
drawn his account Further inyestiga-
tion showed that 500 in cash had been
taken from the post
