FARMERS! ADVERTISING
BRINGS CUSTOMERS TO YOU

Farm and Fireside, in an article
advocating the use of the mails by
farmers to bring business, gives sew
eral examples of men who MADE
money by advertising their products
In the article this occurs:
"At this point l entered the conver-
sation. ! told them about a man in
northeast Kansas who sells all of the
crop from a 100-acre apple orchard by
parcel post. He makes cider of all OF
the apples he can't sell for 81 a bush
ell. The freshly pressed apple juice
is heated to 100 degrees Fahrenheit,
and put into clean, scalded barrels.
The barrels are sealed to prevent Ter
ment bacteria finding their way into
the cider. When this orcnardist ce-
sires to sell the cider it is drawn off
from the barrels, heated to 100 &C.
grees for half an hour, and bottled in
quart bottles. Most of the cider is
sold in pasteboard cartons which hold
six quart bottles. Each bottle is
wrapped in paper. This prevents
them from striking against one an
other and breaking.
"a travelling salesman then told us
about an Indiana farmer who is sell
ing butter and eggs by mail. He said
that it sometimes cost his friend so
cents to get customer, but that re-
orders soon cut down the expense of
the first advertising. According &c
the travelling man this indiana bust
ness farmer could afford to pay as
much as 81 apiece to get customers,
In other words, he could afford to pay
sc for an ad that only brought six
orders if he could keep the trade of
those six persons"

DON'T WORRY CLUB
ENJOYS HIKE AND SPREAD

Some of the members of. the Don't
Worry club enjoyed hike to the ice
plant Wednesday evening and had a
huge spread. After partaking of the
eats the girls tried to see which could
tell the biggest story, and it was de-
cided Miss Vera Boynton could tell
the biggest snake story.
The Don't Worry club girls surely
do enjoy themselves, and they always
declare the last event the best one.
Those who. enjoyed the merriment of
Wednesday were: Mrs. Willis Coffin,
DR.. Ida B. Johnson, Miss Lena Scott,
Miss Gertie Floreth, Miss Mary Chap
ell, Miss Grace Whitlatch, Miss Clara
Budworth, Miss Vera Boynton.
The girls have a hike planned for
next week, and they will enjoy many
of them during the fall months.

BIRTHDAY PARTY.

Little Lois Fessler had what the
youngsters called "some" party at the
home of W. T. Boynton Wednesday
afternoon from to 6 o'clock
The little ones made.a pretty pic
ture as they gathered together, dolled
up in party attire and with eager faces
presented Lois with many pretty gifts
in remembrance OF her fifth birthday
The kiddies played various games
dear to the childish heart on the lawn
after which they marched into the din
ing room to be served with dainty re-
freshments.
The dining room was gay with dec
orations of pink and white. There
was festoon of pink and white crepe
paper suspended from the chandelier
to each corner of the table, while a
beautiful fern formed the centerpiece.
The refreshments also carried out
the pink and white scheme, as they
were pink ice cream, pink and white
cake and candies. The birthday cake
had five candles on it and five pennies
baked in it, 1t created no little ex-
element when they were discovered.
Those enjoying the party were Mar
garet Wells, Marian and Lois Pruitt,
James King, Jessie Louise Galloway,
Quincy and Glenna May Austin,
Jewell, Violet and Ulysses Calhoun,
Allen and Morris Burke, Dorothy Hax-
el, Catherine Bethel, Grace Marie

HEALTH THE RESULT OF
BALANCED LIFE

What profiteth man that he gain
the whole world yet lose his health :?
Naturalists say that long ago the
prehistoric waters were infested with
ss'SfSaf2ies of enormous shark which
/ finally became extinct by reason OF
the workings of its voracious appe-
/. tite. Thus nature eliminates the
cver-fed.
The desire for ease of life and plen-
! tiful diet is universal and is the great
stimulus of man and animals alike.
When man becomes greedy and takes
more ease and food and drink than is
his share, nature discards him.
In the race for power and place, for
ease OF circumstance and relief from
the stimulus of hunger, the modern
man is apt to forget that unless he is
careful Of his body he will soon be
made to suffer for the infraction Of
natures inexorable physical law With
the loss in body tone comes an equal
loss in mental acuity and the brain
which for a time was able to operate
despite the complaints of an over-fed.
under-exercised, self-poisoned body,
stops working.
Statisticians have discovered that
United States over forty-fve years of
the mortality rate of persons in the
age is increasing. The strenuous life
of today is not alone responsible for
this. Lack Of health-giving exercise,
superfuity of diet, lack of restoring
sleep, over-stimulation, the high
pressure of the race for power, wealth
and position, plus physical neglect
these bring early decay. The goal
is reached, wealth is amassed, honor,
position and power are just being
grasped when the apple Of accom-
plishment turns to the ashes of disso-
luton. The brilliant mind becomes
clouded, the steady hand is no longer
accurate, the eye which once gazed
fearlessly on the whole world is
dimmed and it is not long before the
final breakup occurs. All of this
was entirely preventable.
Other things being equal, it is the
man who leads the well-balanced life
who lasts the longest, whose work to
the end is uniformly best, he who
neither over-works nor over-plays,
neither over-eats, over-drinks nor
over-sleeps, he who maintains stand
ard of simple healthy diet in modera-
tion, who offsets mental work with
recreation, who is as honest
with his own body as he is with his
own business. When success comes
to such an one his physical and mental
condition is such that he can enjoy in
peace of mind and contentment OF
body the fruits of his labors.
The regulations of the United States
Public Health Service state: "It is
the duty of officers to maintain their
as well as their professional
fitness. To this end they shall be
time for recreation and study
whenever their official duties will
permit"
If the government regards it as es-
sential that it's sanitary experts shall
be safeguarded in this way, is it not
equally important to every citizen that
he similarly maintain high standard
of physical integrity?
