ing Results.

Membership in the District Ma
tional Guard means physical devel-
opment, Brig. Gen. Richard d.
simms. its commanding oficer. de-
clared last night.
TT has been a constant inspira-
tion to me-" Gen. Simms said, "to
note the physical development of
the young men in the various COM
panies Of the guard. Young men
who are engaged in clerical and
other work In Washington Join the
guard and in q few weeks become
enthusiastic over good exercise,
physical development and military
traiping resulting from the drills.
Men within the draft age and
men above the draft age are well
come to Join the guard. They may
continue their usual work during
working hours, and train nights at
the L Street Armory, to do theif
bit with the District Guard. Men
who join now will undoubtedly have
occasion many times in the future
to be glad of their decision to line
up with the home military forces,
as represented by the District of
Columbia National Guard.
Drills are held nightly at the
District Guard Armory at 472 L
street. where those interested are
welcomf to watch the drills or Sc

Wherever You Live, You Can
Always Obtain
S. S. 5.

One Of the strongest tributes to
the merit Of s. s. s., the famous old
blood remedy, is the fact that it is
always to be found on the shelves Of
practically every drug store In this
country. Unlike so many prepara-
tons that have only a limited sale,
8. s. 8. Is known to druggists every
where. and many Of them have sold
Il ever since they have been IN the
drug business
For this great old remedy has stood
the test of time. It has been on the
market for more than fifty years. and
In the average drug store 1t Is as
staple as calomel or other we'll
known household medicines. Many a
druggist first began handling 1t when
boy, and II you viii ask any OF
them about 8. 8. g., they will ten
you that 1t II probably the most re-
liable patent medicine ever sold.
And when you give the matter se-
douB consideration, you must admit
that . remedy that has been sold In
drug stores for half q century, In
creasing In popularity as the years
20 BY, must certainly have unusual
merit For noFemsdy can be sold for

Very few patent medicines are on

FARMERS BALK
AT PRICE ASKED
FOR THRESHING
Wheat in Virginia Counties
Endangered by Bitter
Dispute. ...

Unless an agreement Is reached
between the farmers and the thresh-
ers in Fairfax. Loudoun and Alex
andria Counties. In Virginia. on the
price the farmers are to pay for the
threshing Of their spring wheat, the
food supply Of those three counties
will be seriously threatened.
As It Ii now the situation IS n
deadlock. The threshers, it seems,
are insisting on charging much high
er prices this year for threshing the
wheat than they did last year. The
farmers are loudly protesting against
what they term an unwarranted in
crease-some of them characterize II
as outright profiteering-and bodies
of farmers arc organizing all over
these three counties. trying to dis
cover some way whereby they may
get their wheat threshed and. yet
not pay a price that they consider
unreasonable and ruinous.
The farmers are willing, they say,
to pay a reasonable increase over
last years prices, but balk at what
they call profiteering rates. At a
meeting at the Mclean schoolhouse
Friday night. at which Julian Wal
ter. Of Alexandria County, presided,
the farmers. among whom Grant
Carper. W. T. Kirby. E. p. Kirby and
Mr.. Elgin took a prominent part, en-
deavored to find a solution for their
difficulties. but evidently failed, as
up to late yesterday evening there
were no immediate prospects Of a
settlement,
This Years Rates Are High.
The threshers are demanding this
year. the farmers say. g a bale for
baling straw and from to 10 cents
a bushel for threshing wheat. Last
years prices were 3 cents a bushel
for threshing and approximately $50
a hale for baling straw.
Upon the suggestion of the local
food authorities the farmers in those
counties planted more wheat than
usual and now as the result of the
disagreement between themselvs and
the threshers an unpleasant situation
arises.
The farmers say that they cannot
Gfford to pay the price demanded py
the threshers. as 1t cuts too deep
into their profits. Farm help. too.
Is a problem that has exasperated
the farmer. He is between two fires
However. unless something is done
and done right away, much wheat
will be spoiled by overripening. The
farmers do not care to set a prece-
dent for unusually high threshing
prices. yet they want their wheat
threshed because the country needs it.
