DOING GREAT GOOD
AT THIS SEASON

A superlative blood-purifying
medicine like Hoods Sarsaparilla,
combined with a superlative iron
tonic like Peptiron, makes the ideal
all-round treatment. No other medi-
cines possess such curative properties
as these two working together.
Two dollars invested in these two
medicines will bring better results
than four dollars spent in any other
course of treatment or attendance.
1t will be wise to get them today.

But the disposition Of the government
to lease as many men as possible on
the farms, rather than nut them in

COMMUNITY IN FARMING
IN STATE OF OKLAHOMA
Oklahoma Will Employ Idea to n
Great Extent. IL Is 4
Big Success

Oklahoma City, May 8.-Thc COM
munity system of doing farm work
and caring for crops as they mature
will be employed in Oklahoma to a
great extent this year, according to
George w. Vincent, farm labor spe-
cialist,, who has been making close
inspection of conditions of the state.
He has viewed the farm labor situa-
ton from every angle, and has taken
the matter individually with many of
the biggest as well as the medium
farmer Of the state in reaching the
final adjustment Of the matter.
Mr.. Vincent said today that al
ready the community plan has been
arranged in detail in the counties of
Kingfshcr, Major, Woods, Garfield,
Alfalfa, Grant, Kay. Organizations
will be perfected in other counties
Immediately.
In the cities and towns of these
counties, business men, the bankers,
storekecpers, have signed pledges
that they will lei their clerks and
other employees 90 TO the fields and
uClp take care Ol lle crops. ne
clerks and employees themselves have
signed these pledges. Employers in
these places have said they will en-
ploy women to take the mems places
while the latter are gone. When the
crops have been cared for the men
will return to find their old places
waiting for them.
The farmers in these counties have
been appraised of the management
and agree to it. 1t is not maintained
these store and Office men will make
as good farm hands as the expert
cnced farmer, but with their help the
crops will be saved, and that is the
main thing. This will take care of
the labor situation in major portion,
if not all, Of the state, in the opinion
Of Mr.. Vincent.
In number of places arrange
ments are being made as to the plow-
ing when the crops have been taken.
Several farmers in a community will
cooperate in the purchase of a trac-
tor. Just as soon as the crops are
removed blowing will begin and con
tinue until all the acreage in that
