"He is burying his money or "He
is busy filling the ground with crock
cry and other similar remarks have
been heard by farmers who have tile
drained their land. The average
farmer has been slow to recognize
that tile drainage pays and has hest
tated to make an investment of 500 to
$50 per acre. "My land lays WE'LL"
he remarks, "and the water runs of
without any help, but l am troubled
with a few places which are washing
badly and some seepy spots in the
low lands"
Many fields in Indiana are being de-
stroyed by washing because farmers
allow water to over the surface
-fthe ground instead of providing so
that it will run down through the
ground and out through the tiles. 1t
is a common sight in most parts of
the state to see the bitches and creeks
after a rain running full Of muddy
water. This water is carrying away
from the fields the finer parts Of soil,
destroying the seed bed and reducing
in a marked way the value of the
land. The delta lands Of the south
are concrete evidence Of the tremen-
dous loss of fertile soil from Indiana,
Ohio, Illinois and other states. Ev-
cry effort should be made to stop this
loss.
Questions Asked Farmers.
Recently tn equestion was askek Of
Indiana farmers, "What results have
you secured from tile drainage?" One
hundred and fifty-three replied as fol-
lows:
Sixty increased the yield two
thirds; twenty-one more than doubled
their crops; twenty-three at least
doubled the yield, forty-six increased
the yield 80 per cent, while only three
noted no increase in yields.
Demonstrations carried on by the
Purdue soils department in a number
of counties show some interesting re-
suits. Undrained fields were select
ed and n part tiled. The cultiva-
ton and treatment of the land and
crops was in all other respects the
same. d..
In Clay County the tiled land pro-
duced 76.1 bushels of corn, while the
untitled yielded 61.S bushels. The De-
cntur County demonstration showed
36.7 bushels of corn on the drained
section, while the undrained gave 1911
bushels. In Jennings County the diff
ference was very much more marked
the drained portion yielding 1874
bushels per acre, while the undrained
land produced only five bushels per
acre. All the evidence obtained up
to this time is favorable to til drain
age. The cost for thing land is about
$25 to $50 per acre. This should be
regarded as an investment which will
yield in returns from year to year for
an almost indefinite period. An in
crops Of corn or six bushels increase
crease of ten bushels per acre on five
per acre on five crops Of wheat will
pay for the entire expense Of the tile.

IF you are not wholly satisfied
with the goods. now or at any time
later, we want you to let us know
promptly: because we want to make
right anything that isn't right"
Could anything be more fair?
Strange as 1t may seem Mr.. Bear
has not been called on to redeem his
pledge as often as one might expect.
The principal reason for this lies in
the fact that he has insisted ON &C.
curing the best merchandise the mar
ket offers-merchandise back OF
which was the reputation and honor
of the most painstaking manufacture
ers. OF course, once in while a
garment has developed some defects,
and once in while some one has
imagined defects existed-it made
no difference, another garment was
given in exchange or the purchase
price was refunded, and there was
no quibbling over the matter.
1t is surely pleasure to- trade with
an establishment that is so anxious
to make good" and it's example
should be al inspiration to mer-
chants of every class to band to-
gether in determined effort to elm
mate the fraudulent in advertising
as well as merchandising.

IS YOUR CLoTHIER MAKING GOOD. PROMPTLY?

In these days, when so many mer-
chants are finding it difficult prob
lem to secure merchandise and main
tain quality as well as price, the ques-
ton asked above becomes more and
more important.
Recent experiences at the Ben
Bear store lead to the positive con-
clusion that making good" prompt
ly will continue to win now just as
it has during the two score years
and more of the life of the business.
1t is policy that is holding old GUS
toners and winning new ones be-
cause it is the basis of confidence
AID depsndability-- sincerity and
an evidence of the genuine service
that Mr.. Bear insists ON in himself
and all who serve under him.
The proof of this spirit is embo
died in card that is enclosed in ev-
cry suit or coat that goes out of the
store. A copy of this card appears
in this article. The steady patron of
the store does not need to be furnish
ed this guarantee-he knows from
past experience that it is the honest
expression of the policy of the store,
and goes back to the days when Mr..
Bear, as a mere youth, opened the
modest establishment that has
grown into one Of the heading cloth

Makers.

p. H. Schlatter, one Of Decorah's
well known harness makers, was
honored in Des Moines last week by
being elected president Of the Iowa
Retail Harness Makers Association
at the eighth annual convention. Mr..
Schlatter has been one Of the pro-
gressive and hard working members
of the association for a number OF
years and this recognition coming to
him illustrates that he is live wire
and worthy of the honor conferred
on him and we wish to congratulate
him on his election to the office.
While it has taken up quite little of
his time attending these cO1ven-
lions, nevertheless he has acquired
a valuable lot of knowledge about
the harness business, which has
stood him well in haad, and conse-
quently all his customers have bene-
flied. AS we said before he is live

the Office in manner not only cred
