Half Your Living
Without Money Cost

A right or wrong start In 1917 will
make or break most farmers In the
South. We are all facing crisis.
This war in Europe puts things In
such uncertainty that no man can
foresee the future with any degree OF
clearness.
The sure and certain increase in
cotton acreage means lower cotton
prices next fall. Cost of all food and
grain products is high, so high that
no one can afford to buy and expect
to pay out with cotton.
It's a time above all others to play
safe; to produce all possible food,
grain and forage supplies on your
own acres; to cut down the store bill.
A good piece Of garden ground,
rightly planted, rightly tended and
kept planted the year round, can be
made to pay half your living. It will
save you more money than you made
on the best five acres of cotton you
ever grew!
Hastings 1917 Seed Book tells all

In the Review Of last week was an
article under the above heading, IN
which we made claim that II 1t was
III tho best interest of private Dusl-
ness concerns to retain good and COM
petent men in their employ, it was
equally as much to the interest or the
county to retain good officers.
Let us glance over the records OF a
few OF them, and we will begin with
the oldest. in point of service. in Lee
county-Judge H. Bank, Jr., OF the
district court. Most Of the Review
readers will recall that when we
first came here several years ago, we
opposed the election of Judge Bank
not so much for personal reasons as
from the fact at that time we were
hewing closer to political lines IN
county officers than we have been IN
recent years. Judge Bank has been
on the superior and district bench
for about twentyone years. At tunes
others have aspired to succeed him
good men and competent LAWYERS
and even members of his own party
have gone back on him at intervals,
but there seemed to be enough re-
publicans' who recognized his ability
ana by so doing have saved the coun-
Nv many dollar. 1t has oft times
been said that the Judge is slow
which may be true-but when he
tries a case 1t is tried right, and but
few times has his decisions ever been
reversed We might apply to the
Judge the old axiom "slow but sure
1t is better from an economic stand
point to take two weeks to try a case
than to try it in one week and then
have to do it over again, as it costs
money to get juries to the county
seat.
We have been told that the judge
has said he would not run again. he
has given the county the best years
of his life, from a physical stand
point, but mentally be is still equip
ned. and the people should insist on
retaining him on the bench.
Judge Hamilton has not been on
the district bench long enough yet so
that the people are beginning to talk
about passing it along. There are
not enough judgeships in the coun-
ty to pass it around to all the lawyers
during their lifetime. Anyway, some
of them don't want it-ohters may
have aspirations along this line, but
50 long as Judge Hamilton is doing
good work it is to the interest of the
3S, 900 inhabitants of Lee county to
keep him there.
While we said the Judge had not
been there long enough for the vot-

REWARD FOR EFFICIENCY ARTICLE 2.
From the DonneIlson Review.

ers to become restless about his time
in office, nevertheless he has been
there long enough to make record
as Judge which stands so high that
he was prominently mentioned for
the supreme bench, and If 1t wasn't
for losing him here, we would have
been glad to see him appointed to that
position. Other county servants who
have been rewarded for efficiency are
MIR. and Mrs Robert Hart, at the county
home, and Lee county has been douo'
ly rewarded by keeping them there
for years, in the efficient service
they have given us. You realize that
this is not an elective office, but for
years, the county, supervisors, re-
CARELESS of their political faith, have
reappointed them on their record. we
are not an expert on cleanliness, al
though we know dirt when we see it,
and several trips through the county
home convinces us that not one per
cent Of our private homes are kept in
any better shape. The state inspec-
tor, who is supposed to be an expert
in these matters, said: Lee county is
to be commended in having one of the
best managed institutions in the
state" Mr.. and Mrs. Hart have not
only been efficient in keeping the
home in fine condition, but in the per
capita cost of it's manag ement.
During the next year do little in
vestigating for yourself regarding
the judgeships and the county home,
and we believe you will be satisfied
to leave well enough alone.

full quarter pint Of the most won

plexion beautifier, by squeezing the
juice Of two fresh lemons into

Here's a chance, Miss Freckle-face,
to try remedy for freckles with the
guarantee of a reliable dealer that 1t
will not cost you penny unless 1t
removes the freckles: while If it
does give you clear complexion the
expense is trif1ing.
Simply get an ounce of othine-
double strength-from any druggist
and few applications should show
YOU how easy it is to rid yourself of
the homely freckles and get beau
'tiful complexion. Rarely is more than
one ounce needed for the worst case.
Be sure to ask the druggist for the
double strength othine as this is the
prescription sold under guarantee of
money back if it fails to remove
freckles.

The opening of the Keokuk Coun-

quiries as to the opening date. A
great deal of work has been done In
putting finishing touches to things
which could not be done last year.
AS a result the grounds and house
will be much more attractive In many
ways Among other things a nine
hole putting course has been laid out
and electric lights installed on the
ground, so that in addition to the old
game of clock golf there will be this
new form of the game-allowing
large mum Der of players to enjoy me
game at the same time.
Numerous improvements have been
made in the accommodations, both in
the house and pavillion-among
others being the enlarging OF the

twice the former size The tennis
courts are being put in good shape,
new wire netting having been put up
all around it. The house committee,
under Craftsmanship of Miss Laura

shape, getting the draperies and dec
orations UP and otherwise putting the
finishing touches on the interior.
