A New Auto Record.

DOME Bush, the Detroit Tigers midget
shortstop, never can be accused of
looking gift horse in the mouth
Last fall Detroit fans subscribed enough
money to purchase an automobile for the
popular little infelder and 1t was duly
presented to him. DOME took the car
down to Indianapolis, where he spends
the off season. and had great fun driving
it around all winter. This spring when he
reported at the training camp In Waxa-
hachie. Texas, some of the motor fans
on the club began to ask him questions
about the make, speed and general worth
of his machine. Finally somebody ina,
quired whether the bus was equipped
with four or a six cylinder engine.
"1'll be hanged il know" replied Bush.
Il never bothered to lift up the hood to
find OUT

Let the Farmer Do Il

the farmer must arise to the patriotic
duty Of taking SOME chances in a
business way. that they have been I'M
willing to take heretofore, and have
protected themselves against in the
past by drawing around themselves
meshes of harbed wire law, forbidding
the risks which the farmer, in the ma
ture of his calling, is every day forced
to take. Bankers and business meh do
not plant or SOW, until they have gilt
edged security as to the quality Of
the product and the size of the crop
Today, if the government itself, State
or nation, or any financial institution
or any organization, furnishes funds
with which a farmer may buy seed or
fertilizer. or make any improvements
that promise better returns to him or
to his patriotic" endeavors, he, the
farmer, must take the chances.
In the Kennebec Journal of Fri
day morning we published the plan of
loan to farmers, as set forth by the
subcommittee on industrial produce
tons, of the Maine Committee on Pub
lie Safety. 1t was agreed to report
certain stipulations as to the loan of
money to farmers, and these stipula-
tons included that the money should
be loaned entirely for increased acre
age, and it should not be an amount
to exceed 5000; that loans should be
made at 1-2 per cent, and that re-
quests for loans should be granted only
after investigation as to both the fl
nancial and executive ability of the
party desiring the loan; that there
should be proper security and that the
request should be passed upon favor
ably by the town and county commit
tees Of public safety.
So there we have this simple solu-
ton: The farmer is to be furnished
with funds with which to buy seed
and fertilizer, to a certain limit; that
is, the amount which any one farmer
may secure will be sufficient to plant
about two acres of potatoes The
farmer will be loaned 5000 for the pur-
pose. The extra endeavor (for this is
to be INCREASED acreage" mind
YOU is to be HIS. HE will give "se-
curity" for the money he borrows
with which to buy the seed and fer
tilizer for his patriotic" duty. HE
will plant, and weed, and spray, and
cultivate. and hoe, and dig, and har-
vest. and, if he wins out over the
weather, climatic conditions, the bugs
and the worms, the rust and the blight,
the drouth and the hail storms. and Sc
cures a crop, he will be PAID for his
work and his patriotism" If, for
any of these reasons, t. crop is a
failure (as crops sometimes are) whose
is the loss? Why, it is the farmers
of course, and he will pay the interest
on his loss at IL per cent. The
banker doesn't lose it; the business
man doesn't lose it; the Committee on
Public Safety doesn't lose it.; the gov
eminent doesn't lose it, and not one

 There's no other cOrn-remover in the world that acts like "Gets-It." No new discovery has been made in corn removers since "Gets-It" was born. Don't forget that fact "Gets-It" does away forever with the use of salves that irritate, bandages that make C bundle of your toe, plasters that half do the work, knives and scissors that draw blood.
