You are particularly requested not

any of the materials we carry il

be able to get more expeditions de-

AVOID WASTING
GRAIN THIS YEAR

In normal times much grain is
wasted through faulty work of the
binder, carelessness in driving and
turning corners, cutting the back
swath and shocking the grain.
A small amount of grain wasted
on each farm means an enormous
loss in the state. If each farmer
makes it his patriotic duty to reduce
waste as much as possible in his har-
vesting operations this year, the loss
in the state will be reduced to a min
imum.
All binders should be gone over and
put in good condition before it is time
to use them. The sickle should be
examined and all broken or worn Sec
tions replaced with new. Canvasses
should be inspected for broken or
missing cleats, buckles, and straps.
If the knotter tied accurately last
year, it is best not to change the ad-
justment of the knotter spring or
twine holder. All bearings should re-
ceive a good supply of coal oil, the
crank placed on the end of the packer
shaft and all parts of the machine
operated. All bearings should then
be o.led with machine oil. The above
directions are especially important if
the machine has been housed under a
tree or in a fence corner since last
season.
If the binder fails to tie accurately
after one, or two rounds, some per-
son VINO understands adjusting the
knotter should be called to examine
the machine. A binder should not
miss more than half dozen sheaves
in half day, if properly adjusted and
the twine runs smoothly.
In shocking, the sheaves should be
set solidly on the ground and care
taken to place the top sheaf with head
toward the prevailing winds, so it will
not be blown off.
There should be the heartiest CO.
! operation between the farmers and
threshermen this year in saving
grain, especial care being used in
pitching bundles into the feeder SO
that the sheaves reach the cylinder
T in steady stream heads first. A
canvass should be furnished by the
threshermen to put under the feeder
to prevent waste of shattered grain

= and threshermen should help mate.

SPECIALIZED CLERKS
URGENTLY NEEDED

Expert clerical work has a more
important place in the governments
war organization than most people
realize. We all know that the wav
cannot be won in the trenches alone;
that an effective establishment at
home is vital to the success of the
biggest job ever undertaken by any
nation; but the full extent to which
the specialized clerk is needed is per-
haps not generally understood. And
it is in this class of work that women
have the best opportunity to be of
real service to the government at this
time.
In the national capital alone the
civilian force increased from 10000
to nearly $4,000 during the first yea1
of our participation in the war. Nine
tenths Of the new employees are clerks
of one kind or another, and fully
three-fourths of them are women
Eighteen thousand stenographers anc
typists are at work constantly in the
government offices at Washington OF

has never before known.
General clerks; that is, those with
out speciality, are not difficult to OBJ
tain even under present conditions
but the United States Civil Service
Commission, charged with the dut,
of recruiting the civil service to NEE
war needs, is experiencing difficult.

KISS NOT OUR FLAG
&c not insulters of our FLAG

Orce not lnSulterS OF our nag
Foul lips on it to place;
But let no slacker's actions drag
Old Glory in disgrace.
Let not their hands upon it rest,
Leave no chance for a stain;
May no disloyal lips be pressed
Upon our flag again.
Let those who would our banner
curse,
Or smite it with their hand,
Be punished many times the worse,
As such we shall demand.
Let not them bend single knee
Against their stubborn will;
For when again we set them free
They may denounce it still.
Let not their chastisement pollute
Our Red and White and Blue;
But leave the kissing and salute
For hearts still beating true.
When we hear things we do not like
Against our Stripes and Stars
Then get such folk anotker stripe
Behind some prison bars.

There are a great many people who
would be very much benefited by TAX
ing Chamberlain's Tablets for a weak
for disordered stomach. Are you one
of themf Mrs. M. r. Scarf, Bald
winsville, N. Y, relates her expert
ence in the use of these tablets: 81
had a bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago, and was
troubled for two or three weeks with
gas and severe pains in the pit of
my stomach. Our druggist advised
me to take Chamberlain's Tablets. ]
took a bottle home and the first dose
relieved me wonderfully, and I kept
on taking them until was cured"
These tablets do not relieve pain, but
after the pain has been relieved may
prevent it's recurrence.
