Diversified Farming Pays

Have you seen any corn or hay
shipped into Mansfield this year,
l guess not! Plan your crops so
that you will have plenty of feed
for all kinds of stock. When we
buy a car of hay in Kansas, we
are poorer--and they are richer.
This will apply to everything
that we Lave to buy away from
home. Make Wright county as
near self supporting as possible.
Raise everything we can to sell
and get the other fellows money

Why Not?

Why not have a college or AGA
DENY in Mansfield? 1t may
sound like a big proposition, but
we believe the establishment Of
a school here is possible. We
heard one of our prominent bust
ness men say he would donate
land for a site for such an insti-
tuition. This is a good start. Are
there not others who will make
liberal donations for such a pur-
pose:

The average cost Of railroad materlal
and suppl 3 has increased about 53.G per
cent over the current cost last year and
railroad taxes have more than doubled
during the last ten years.
Twenty Million PEOPLE, including rail

plants and owners Of railway securities
in the United States, are dependent ior
all or part Of their earnings upon the
railroads.
Interstate Commerce Commission fig

ton has been almost completely halted.
Less mileage was hlilt in 1918 than IN
any year since 1864. Eighty-two rail-
roads operating Al 1888 miles are IN the
hands Of receivers.
One Billion, Three Hundred and
5~cvrnty-Lhrcc Million, -Four Hundred

The Hen and the Cow

The old hen and the COW, if
handled properly, will make
Wright county prosperous. We
are not producing one fourth the
eggs, poultry and cream we
should in this county. The hen
and the COW will pay 1000 on the
investment, with the proper care.
But they must be fed and cared
for properly. If you raised 100
chickens or so turkeys last year,
figure on doubling it this year.
Don't be afraid of Cutting the
market. Select some good breed
of whatever you raise and keep
them pure. They will make you
more money and the satisfaction
of having them rround is worth
while

The BaryphOne

Is a new invention which is on a fair
way OF revolutionizing the telephone
system. As is well known the American
telephone is often very unsatisfactory,
but the drawbacks are wholly eliminated
by the Baryphone, which makes CONVEX
sations on the longest distances just as
clear as on short circuits as the sound is
carried to both ears and all noise ex-
cluded. Persons hard of hearing, who
hitherto have been prohibited from us
ing the telephone, can now use it with
the aid of the Baryphone, which also
will permit two persons to hear the
message without the use Of double tele-
phone. The Baryphone is the only sim
pie, practical and effective sound lnten-
siier in existence and is incomparably
superior to all others, especially as it
leaves the hand free for annotations
during the conversation. Increases the
sound wonderfully. Indispensable to all
telephone. users. Always adjusted. Non
electric. Ever ready. Lasting many
years. Sample 81 90 postpaid. Salts
faction guaranteed or money refunded:

SOARING AWAY
RECRUITS.

HECHOI >.
Anti-militarists have a right to hold
their opinions, and also to seek con-
SSrts. But in some Of our large cities
they have been going too far. Gov
eminent posters calling for army re-
cruits have been found plastered over
with smaller posters denouncing all
military service and urging men not to
enlist.
This is presumably unlawful. Worse
than any technical violation, however.
is the fact that such action is indecent
and offensive to all citizens with a re-
spect for their government.
The offense is all the worse because
II is committed at a critical time when
the country needs more soldiers. And
by downright Misrepresentation. The
posters inveigh against the army as a
device for making citizens automatic
instruments of ruthless oppression,
and warm prospective recruits that at
any moment they may be obliged to
shoot their friends and neighbors and
fire down crowded street where the
poor are clamoring for bread"
Needless to say, the United States
army is no such tyrannical institution
as 1t is here represented. It has al.
ways been an instrument of freedom
rather than of oppression, and that
wholesome character becomes more
firmly fixed with every year. The
American who enlists at his countryS
call does SO to protect his friends and
neighbors, not to shoot them.
