Mass. Mr.. Whiting is seventy-eight
years old. He was confined to his
bed for one year, unable to turn or
help himself in any manner. In con

would bring on paroxysm.

failed TO relieve his suffering and he
started to take Var-ne-sis. Shortly
after starting on Var-nesis he no.

use his hands, the hips became better

Banks Will. Help

The president of The Federal
Land Bank of Columbia has re-
quested the officers of the state
and national banks to assist the
farmers in organizing and per.
fecting local associations. He
also suggest that farmers who
want TO be fortified for the try.
ing war times would do we'll to
organize promptly and prepare
to increase the productivity of
their farms. The Bank of Page.
land and the Jefferson Bank will
be glad to perform such service
for their customers, and all who
desire farm loans should report
at once.
We would not encourage bor
rowing by those who do not
need 10 borrow, bu; the land
bank was designed for the farm
er who is compelled to borrow
to make necessary improvements
or to pay off mortgages. The
large amount of clerical work
involved i'll organizing local
loan associations is the cause for
the president asking the local
banks to lend a helping hand
and that is one reason for vol.
unteering our services.

ly hurt near Grand River one day
last week while narrowing with q
four horse team. In crossing a small
ditch the horses jumped, and Mr..
Shields, who was riding on the mar
row cart, behind, was thrown Tor
ward onto the harrow. He said he
did not know how long he lay there,
but when he regained CONSCIOUSNESS
he was lying in pool of blood. and
does not know how he stopped the
horses. But in some way he got to
the house with them, where Mrs.
Shields was alone, and he was GRAZ
