DOES YOUR FARM
PAY A PROFIT?

All concede that 1t Is absolutely nee.
essary for lawyers, teachers, and ply
sicians to keep up course OF reading
and study in order to do their best
work. II you were told that your fam
lily physician or dentist never read
any magazines or papers published for
the betterment of his profession and
that he knew nothing about new rem
edies and improved methods Of treat
ing diseases, would you continue to
patronize him when II would cost no
more to have the service of a skilled
physician fully posted in regard to all
recent discoveries in medical science?
II YOU find that there IS something
wrong with your farming and that you
are not making any money. don't you
think It would pay YOU to investigate
carefully and learn where the leaks
are on your farm? OF course, you can
learn many things by experimenting,
but experience is often a dear school.
If many other farmers have already
learned at considerable cost many of
the things that you want TO learn, why
not profit by their experience and save
your energy, time and money for some
thing else?
The specialists at the Experiment
Station Of the Louisiana State Univer-
sity are employed to save YOU this
trouble and waste of time
II you are not getting satisfactory
results from your farming operations
write to the Supervisor Farm and
Home Study Clubs. Louisiana State
University and describe your prob
lens. IF you desire It. n course of
reading will be outlined for you that
may enable you to make your farm
pay more.

REWARD OF $1,000
FOR MAN WHO FIRED
LAKOTA MOTOR BARN

Lakota, N. D., Jan. A reward of
$1,000 has been offered by G. A. Prick
of the Beck Auto Co. for the appre-
hension of some miscreant whom
Prick believes responsible for I mid
night fire which completely destroyed
the plant, together with II cars, all
of which, except three new Studebak-
ers and Ford, were being stored for
private owners. There was a large
stock of tires and other accessories
on hand, and the total loss will run
into many thousands. Severe cold
weather handicapped the efforts Of the
firemen, and a brisk wind made short
work of the garage.

| islatiOn, the first results of the in
quiry. Chairman Chamberlain plans
to introduce tomorrow a bill to create
a new cabinet member known as the
secretary of munitions, to have com
plete charge of all war material pur
chasing 1t is promised virtually I'm
animous committee support.
To Abolish Civilian Boards.
Another bill which Senator Nickel
lar plans to introduce tomorrow as a
result of the investigation would
amend the national defense act Great
ing the council Of national defense,
so as to abolish all civilian advisory
committees and prohibit the council
members or their agents from being
directly interested in supply contracts.
The committees already have been
abolished, but some of their members
are serving the departments as expert
advisers.
Nine firms were named in Mr.. Els.
enman's statement as being among
those who had received army supply
orders from the committee and whose
representatives served with the COM
mittee.
Shoddy in Uniforms.
Testimony supporting Eisenman's
contentious that quality of army cloth
ing had not been lowered by his or
ders for use of more revoked wool
or shoddy in the cloth was given by
Michael E. Driscoll, an expert wool
of Raritan, N. j., who
said the new cloth virtually is as
warm and durable. He added, how
ever, that the German uniform is
fifty per cent better and costs less.
Testimony regarding army shoes
also was heard today from L. j.
Bliss of Boston, who said about eighty
per cent of American soldiers shoes
do not fit, and charged delay by the
war department in adopting correct
shoe fitting device.
Inquiry into the clothing question
will be resumed tomorrow.
