Coffee That Has Made
History
The Old Secret Blend Unchanged
for A Hundred Years.

In the heyday of the Old French
Market, New Orleans, the leaders Of
affairs met there to chat and to dis
cuss the serious topics of the day over
a cup of French Market Coffee.
What tales the old building could
tell-what stories of plot and counter
plot-what secrets remain unrevealed
under its high gabled roof!
And of these none would be more
interesting than that Of French Market
Coffee-the Old Secret Blend. But
while the secret is still secret,
French Market is now used by a ma
ton of coffee lovers, instead of being
the privilege of only few as in early
french Market days.
Secret blending Of worldfamous cof-
fees-secret grinding and roasting
these explain the wonderful goodness
of French Market, found in no other
coffee in America. Many have tried to
initiate it, but have given it up in de-
spair.
Send 1Oc for IL cup sample and
booklet Of the interesting Story of Old
French Market. We will also send
names OF grocers in your town who
sell French Market Coffee. / lib. cans,

Early Fruits and Vegetables.

The enormous amounts Of early
fruits and vegetables shipped from
the southern climates into northern
markets are one sign OF growing
wealth and luxury in this country. 1t
is business that increases with cv-
cry spring.
The eating of fresh food out Of sea-
son was once considered costly and
wasteful luxury. 1t is so today for fam
lilies of moderate incomes. But facil-
tiles for transportation have so inn
proved and southern farming has so
that such products are often
much cheaper than one could expect.
People to whom money comes easy
can hardly spend it in any more whole
some way. The fresh tang of new
garden products stimulates the human
body And the business employs a
small army of people in healthful open
air employments and brings prosper
ity to many rural districts.

CAROLS Post Office Site.

Carroll, March 2-Havins failed, ap-
parently to secure other property
which it desired for site for the new
post Office building. the department
last week took an option on two lots.
owned by Mrs. Agnes Bowen and Miss
Grace Daiker, at the corner OF Sew
enth and Adam streets, and it is
thought very likely that the property
will be purchased and the new post
office built there. 1t is reported on
good authority that the government
secured the option for the purchase of
the two properties at a price OF $4,000.
which is just below the maximum
amount to which they would go. 1t
is also stated on good authority that
the committee appointed by the Citi-
zen's club has placed its 0. 4. on the
site proposed. in lieu of being able to
obtain anything better. The proposed
site is slightly larger than the govern
ment demanded for the building, and
in this it possesses a distinct advan.
tage. More definite announcement as
to what the department really intends
to do about the matter will probably
be available for publication within
the next week or two.

More Milk, More Pork.

81 sure like the baby pork work so
we'll that | can hardly wait until ] get
back on the farm to raise more and
better pork at less cost" writes How.
ard Baker, IS year old Mahaska county
boy and student at Iowa State college
who scored 80 per cent in the recent
baby pork contest, the highest score
received by any of the 900 entries ex
cept Murle Mills of Hardin county
who equalled the record.
Howard tells how he raised his prize
porker:
81 put him on blue grass pasture and
gave him l pound of corn and one-half
gallon Of milk every day for a month.
I commenced increasing the feed up
until the third month, when put him
on a self feeder with corn and oats
on one side and tankage on the other.
! gave him all the milk he wanted fresh
from the separator and kept him in
good shelter"
His pig made him profit of $23.42.
At the end of the feeding period from
June until November the pig weighed
361 pounds. The daily gain was 90
pounds and the cost per pound of gain
was 1924.
The Carranza dollars are worth on
ly four cents, but at the prices of
labor in Mexico there is a profit in
printing them even at that.
