University Of Missouri reports the work

were placed in four lots. In one LOT
,eEes received grain on rye pasture.
Those in another lot received only rye
pasture. In third lot the ewes
were fed grain on blre7gEass pasture,
while those in lot four .Geceiyed only
blue grass pasture.
The grain for both ewes anu lambs

The Trading Stamp Evil

II there is one practice In vogue iu
this country that ought to be canned
it is the trading stamp evil.
It is one Of the biggest fakes since
the days Of Barnrm, yet people will
nibble and bite a, it continually and
then yell for more bait.
When a merchant must resort to
the questionable practice Of giving
premiums in order 10 sell his goods it
is quite time for the buyer to ask him
sell if those goods are worth the price
demanded for them.
II they are worth the price, the
the merchrnt will not need TO offer
something for nothing" in order to
effect sale. The goods will sell on
their merits.
But il they are not worth the psice--
and a 'tait' is dangled before the
prospective customets--it is time to
90 to some merchant who will give a
dollars worth oi goods in return for
every dollar he gets.
The trading stamp habit is resorted
10 by many merchants in cities who
use them as an indictment to pull
trade from country people. And it is
"a safe bet that the merchant gets the
full value OF his goods, and likewise
The full value Of trading stamps he
gives" 10 his customers.

1t requires six people to organize a
club. However, where it is not pos
sible TO enroll in a club, the boys and
girls may do the regular work and
have the same privileges as regular
club members, if they will fill out an
enrolment card and follow the circu-

In recognition OF the work done,
liberal prizes aEc offered in the clubs
for various activities. The corn club
conducts an acre yield contest and
growing the most corn per acre re-
ceive liberal cash rewards. The boy
growing the best acre Of corn will re-
ceiye $500 in cash, second best,
$500, third $1,000, fourth $3.50,
and fifth $500. To become a mem
Der Of corn club, one must grow at
least one acre Of corn. By doing
this, he also becomes a junior mem,

Association.
Other prizes are offered by other
clubs. Most Of these prizes will be

a little earlier in the spring than blue

As an old resident of the Shenandoah
Valley and one ever keenly interested
in its happenings. take advantage of
your columns to add a tribute 10 the
memory of Stephen D. Timherlake of
Staunton whose death on Dec. 24th.
marked the passing of the last of that
gallant band of Young Undertakes
from the Lower Valley of whom the
late Col O'Ferrell in his book Fortya
Years of Active Service" said: Il
firmly believe If thousand Timber
lakes could have teen martialed on the
banks of the Potomac, we'll mounted,
and commanded by Timberlake, and
ordered to the4Commons of Boston,
some of them would have reached that
historic G ound unless they had fallen
on the way. Nothing short of death or
disabling wound would have stopped
them. .
But it is not of the gallant soldier l
would speak; rather of the still nohler
role he assumed as the model son, hus
band. father and friend. 1t was my
privilege as boy to be in his employ.
and part of the time, member of his
household. In those years had ample
opportunity to know him intimately
and observe his tender devotion to an
aged father, his affectionate watch
care over his own large family, and the
even and kindly disposition he showed
in his intercourse with his employees
and all his fellowmen in the social and
business world. By energy and upright
dealing he made marked success as
merchant In his home he dispensed
the kindly hospitality SO natural with
gentlemen of the old school-a fine rep
resentative of a rapidly vanishing type.
An attendant at his funeral | was
witness to the widespread appreciation
shown his memory by his fellow towns
men and friends from every walk of
life, and was pleased to realize that my
own experience as his friend mad been
that of his entire community!
The recollection of his life and char
acter is a permanent legacy to Staun-
ton and his loss will be mourned by
friends throughout the state.

Build Now.

In the business world nothing is more
certain than that periods of depression
will be followed by periods of activity
and advancing prices
We have for some time been passing
through period of depression in which
prices for nearly all manufactured pro
ducts have been extremely low. Build
ing work can be done to greater ad-
vantage at the present time and at a
much less cost than will be possible
when the next burst of activity comes
At present men are seeking work.
Manufacturers of lumber, bricks, ee-
ment, iron and steel and other building
materials are hunting for customers.
and hunting hard to find them But the
time will come when work will be hunt
ing for the workers and when buyers
of building materials will be hunting
the manufacturers, and often paying a
bonus or premium to get what they
wish.
Construction work done in these per
iods of activity at high prices is costly,
and often done in such rush way as
not to produce the best results. Con-
struction work could now be done to
great advantage and at low cost.
There are thousands Of people through
out the country who intend to builp
dwellings or business houses. and who
are abundantly able to finance con-
struction work without embarrassment

but theyare holding off merely on some
psychological reason that they will
w.sit-for better times. The waiting
may cost them money and many incon-
yeniencrs s. Far better would it be for
men who intend to build, and who can
do So, to do so now and thus during
this period of depression get the bene-
fit CT low prices of lumber and materi,
ais, and at the same time help to i'm
prove the whole business situation by
employing labor and buying materials.
Every contract let helps to brighten
the business situation. Every contract
withheld merely out of fear or lack CT
decision helps to becloud the business
outlook and retard the coming of the
sunshine. Build. and build now, should
be the rule adopted by everybody who
expects to build in the futile and who
can build now. Manufacturers Record.
