MAKING CORN BELT
FARMS PAY FARMERS

in the same field more than two years
in succession. Feed as much of your
grain as possible to live stock on the
farm
Live Stock. When you break even
on your beeves you are ahead of the
game provided you save the manure
especially if you have kept hogs follow.
ing the cattle. Saving the manure"
doesn't mean saving merely one-third
or one-fourth. 1t means saving 20 per
cent or more, liquid as well as solid.
The problem of keeping live stock with
profit is largely matter of making use
as silage, roughage, or bedding, of
stuff that is wasted on the average
farm. Weeds and weed seeds, usually
counted worse than nothing, may be
put on the right side Of the ledger by
means of few sheep.
Seed Selection and Wages. Catch
but one bad ear in testing seed corn
and you save good days wages Find
the average number of bad ones and
you save a weeks wages in a winters
afternoon. Buying seed is business
proposition-not an exercise of faith.
Side Lines and Women Folk. AS
long as the average farmer keeps his
garden on the grocery shelf" he sells
everything wholesale and buys every
thing retail. Side lines such as can.
ming, preserving, making apple butter,
are profitable where the farmer is wise
enough to see that the women of his
household get all necessary help with
their work.
The price difference between ham,
lard and bacon and hog on the hoof
shows the money gain for farm butch
ering and smoking.
Making Capital Available" Keep
accounts-find just where your money
comes from and just where it goes.
Some mems wealth is like a good deal
of the fertility in their soil-it is not
available" If the boys and girls are
to be kept on the farm, the farm must
be made not only financial and econ
omic success, but also family and civ
ic success. Any reasonable expenditure
for making the home place more at
tractive is as real and profitable an
investment as though the money had
been spent for limestone and phos-
phate.
Preparedness. Preparedness is as
important for the farmer as it is for
the soldier The farmer who wastes
his leisure time and who fails to util-
ize rainy days and slack seasons to
get his affairs in shape can never hope
to catch up during the busy seasons.
Marketing and Cooperation. 1t is
not enough to grow good crop, or
even to grow good crop at low cost.
To make big crop business sue
cess it must be disposed of as efficient
ly as 1t is grown-must be so graded
and packed as to meet market stand
ards and so marketed as to bring the
farmer the highest current price
The farmer who is too suspicious tc
get together with his neighbors in or
der to do comparatively what no one
can do alone is sure to pay dearly fol
his incapacity for team work.

Juvenile officer Purcell returned
home Thursday night from Cleveland,

of the Knox juvenile court for long
time. Richard recently ran away
from home and went to the home of
relative in Cleveand. This relative
was notified to send him back. He
was supplied with the necessary
amount of funds, but used the cash in
renting a room. According to young
Tyler, he fell in with big gang of
bad boys, and their plans for rob-
berries, etc, scared him. AS a result,
he gave himself up to the Juvenile
court in Cleveland.
Tyler described Cleveland to Judge
Wilkins as "a big overgrown town
without any police protection" and
said that it is unsafe for anyone to be
on the streets there, especially after
dark, with any money or jewelry.

BLIZZARD OF '88 AGAIN RECALLED
Great Storm Broke Twenty
 Eight Years Ago Tonight

People who were born prior to 1888 and have even vague recollection of what happened in this section of the United States on March 12, 13 and 14 of that year are today recalling that the 18th anniversary of the great bliz- gard is at hand. There have been storms big and little both before and since, but nothing that could be com pared to the blizzard or even ap- proach it in violence and duration. At the persent time there is probably as much snow on the ground as fell dur ing the three days storm, but it has taken weeks to accumulate.
 2s Years Ago, Tonight.
 It was syears ago tonight, to be exact that the storm brolSe but it was we'll along in the evening before it began to assume violent proportions and only on the following morning did most people realize that something out of the ordinary in the way of a snow storm had arrived The eleventh that year fell on Sunday. It was a beautiful day and the week which it followed was one of mild spring weather. The frost had left the ground, and people were preparing for the spring planting and gardening. Late Sunday afternoon, however, there was change; the temperature dropped noticeably, the sky took on a grey tinge, the wind arose and the storm descended.
 From Sunday night until Wednes- day noon it continued with ever in- creasing fury. The snow. fine and dry drove with the force and sting of a sand blast and as the hours sped hv the drifts mounted higher and higher until landmarks were obliter- ated and familiar objects, mantled m white, assumed grotesque shapes. It vas no uncommon sight to see drifts that reached to second floor windows and one story structures were prdcu- callv buried in the sea of white.

 Everyone who recalls the blizzard has his own absorbing story to tell of

Children love this fruit laxative" and nothing else cleanses the tender stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
 A child simply will not stop playing to empty the bowels, and the result is. they become tightly clogged with waste, liver gets sluggish stomach sours, then your little one becomes cross, ha1f-sick, feverish, don't eat. sleep or act naturally, breath is bad, system full of cold, has sore throat, stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen, Mother!

 Millions of mothers give "California Syrup of Figs because it is perfectly harmless; children love it, and it never fails to act on the stomach, liver and bowels.
