that suggestion of snugness which
seems part of the little bungalow

pass by to come into the little home
where comforts are provided in every

to be always associated with small

their desire in this direction and cen

ADVISE FARMERS TO
 GROW MORE OATS

With yields of TO to 80 bushels of cats to the acre and thousands of acres
 of idle land in New England adapted to the crop, the state experiment. sta tfons are advising farmers to grow more oats. Oats have high value for feed for horses, poultry and young stock GroWSl as a. soiling crop they furnish valuable green feed aud many farmers use cut oats regularly for a hay crop. Director Woods, of the Maine Experiment Station, after ex- tensive experiments, recommends 12 different varieties for New England The average yield ob- tained from the use of these varieties was between "A and 83 bushels per acre. Plenty of available plantfood should be supplied to enable the oats to yield a heavy crop of high quality grain.

NOTE: You've all undoubtedly heard of the famous Dr. Pierce and his we'll known medicines. Well, this prescrip- ton is one that has been successfully used for many years by the. physicians and specialists of Dr. Pierce's 1nvalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y., for kidney complaints, and dis eases arising from disorders of the kidneys and bladder, such as backache, weak back, rheumatism, dropsy, con- gestion of the kidneys, infammation of the bladder, scalding urine, and urinary troubles.
 Up to this time, vAnuric" has not been on sale to the public, but by the persuasion of many patients and the increased demand for this wonderful healing Tablet, Dr. Pierce has finally decided to put it into the drug stores of this country within immediate reach of all sufferers.
 I know of one or two leading drug gists in town who have managed to procure a supply of wAnuric" " for their anxious customers in and around this locality. If not obtainab1e send one dime by mail to Dr. Pierce for trial package or 50 cents for full treatment

 '"The general feels as you do," he answered. Your American affilia- tions stand you in good stead. But the one fact which makes us consent at all to your going is that we are pre- pared to surround them by noon to- day.

CHIEF TAUGHT PIL- GRIMs HOW TO GROW CORN.

Governor Bradford in his History of the Plymouth Col ony,' says that Squanto taugh that except they got fish and set the old grounds with them, it would come to nothing Squanto's teachings were tried in 1921 and the following year, another writer, George Mourt, re- corded ir1 his ttJournaF' that 20 acres of corn and six acres of barley, treat ed as Squanto had taught, made an ex- celIent yield.

Tor the benefit of any spies who may be around. The German patrols will be watching for you; however, take no chances; leave your coat and cap and approach their lines with your Red Cross uniform in plain sight. Don't wear even your own uniform coat; it is wiser. Once through you will report to the officer in command, and what ever else you do keep cool. A favorite method of theirs is to humiliate and insult a prisoner until they wear his nerves down and then trick him into a damaging admission. Tell your story, which is a simple one, and stick to 1t. and always keep in mind that a few hours at best and our men will be there. I don't believe they can con meet you with the movement before that time, and their trumped up charge against Ian will hardly be considered valid by the officers higher up. After all, it's the hazards of war. God bless you, my brave child. and I feel we shall meet again, that this is not to be a tragedy"
