Sometimes there are serious condi-

only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it

More Wheat Campaign

Early in the fall the government put
on MORE WHEAT CAMPAIGN over
the entire United States to prevent
such disturbances as we have seen in
this county for the last year. The
county agent was called on to give re
port of last years crop and also to find
out, as nearly as possible the increase
in Fayette county this year. We were
asked to increase Jour crop $500 acres.
Sincelthat time an effort has been made
to secure the names of al many far.
mers who we're planting wheat as pos
sible, the number of acres planted last
year and also the number planted this
year. So far we have secured the
names of more than 225 men who
have pledged themselves to plant wheat
this year whereas less than 100 men
planted last year. Every community
in Fayette, without single exception,
is represented in this wheat crop and
of the information gathered we find that
last year there were, according to the
list of names secured, 5l3 acres plant.
ed while this years crop shows 1904
acres, making total increase of 1914
acres.
There are many farmers in the county
who have never reported the amount of
wheat they expect to plant and If these
men could make this report, am quite
sGle there is an increase of nearly 2, 900
acres in the county.

FOUND SIS BUSHELS
Much Grain Is Wasted by Careless
Thrcshermen.

Wichita, Kan, July s.-Waste of
grain at threshing time has already
taken place in Oklahoma, according
to a telegram received today by Capt
Kenneth D. Hequembourg. chief of the
threshing division of the United states
food administration, who Is in Kansas
temporarily. The telegram stated that
a careful crew had followed a careless
machine and had threshed sixty-five
bushels out of 4 straw stack
The careless machine has been TAX
en- from the field by the food admin
istration and is awaiting repairs.
TT is ridiculous that q farmer
should stand for such waste" said
Captain HeQuenbourg- In spite of
our campaign 20 save wheat at turesh-
ing time there are still some careless
crews and it is the duty of the farmer
to report such men There are plenty
of careful threshermen to handle The
grain.
Loss of wheat is important rom a
money standpoint because the f,.rmer
loses good 81 wheat, but mora than
that there is a great waste of food
ANY manufacturer whose machine
is not doing good work will be glad to
correct the evil, for it Is bad adver-
tisement for a machine to be unfit for
service
There is q threshing committee or
gained in all the important wheat
counties in Kansas to see that ma
chimes do the right kind of work.
Fairness should report to their COM
ton they should wire to Walter Innes,
federal food administrator at Wichita,
whenever they find careless thresher-
men,
