HIGH PRICED CROPS-LOW
PRICED LUMBER.

The war time advance in the prices
of all farm products has been tremen-
dous, and you are prospecting. The
wartime advance in the price of good
lumber, compared with the price OF
farm products and other important
commodities, has been extremely lit
tie. Wouldn't it be the part OF wis
dom to build NOW whatever you may
need in the way of farm structures,
new home, barn, a garage, grain
bin, crib implement sheds, hog
houses, silo?
Think of it! Your farm products
today will buy twice as much honest,
serviceable. workable LUMBER as they
would three years ago! Why not take
advantage of this remarkable con-
dition while it lasts?
The best investment you can make
of farm profits is in better farm equip
ment-it means more and greater
profits in future.

BIC HERDS CONE
World War Wastes Europe's
Meat Supply.
American Stock Ralsers Cooperate
With Food Administration In Con.
servation Measures.

1t is probable that Europe for many
years after the war will look to a
great extent to America for it's meat
supply.
Europe's herds are dwindling under
wars demands faster than they can be
replenished.
When the German armies retired
from occupied portions of France and
Belgium approximately 100000 head
of cattle were appropriated. This ad-
dition virtually safeguarded Germany
from cattle shortage other nations now
suffer.
In England some 100000 acres Of
grass lands have by compulsory meas.
ures been forced into grain production,
thus reducing pasturage and hay lands.
A declining scale of maximum meat
prices for live cattle was ordained in
England, as follows: For September,
$17.76 per hundred pounds; October,
SIPS; November and December,
$16.OS, and for January, $144O. The
evident intent of this measure was to
drive the beef animals into market as
soon as possible.
According to official French figures,
the cattle of France have decreased to
total Of 1884 900 as compared with
II, SO7, 900 in 1918. Today, due to lack
Of forage principally, France is pro-;
ducing only one gallon Of milk where
before the war two and one-half gal,
Ions were produced.
Meantime the United States food ad-,
ministration has taken steps to con-,
serve our focks and herds and to in,
crease their numbers. The stock breed
ers Of this country show disposition
to cooperate with the government in
this.
For many years it has been prac-
tice among many Of the dairy people
of this country to kill male calves at
birth and in many instances the fe-
males if not needed to replenish their
herds rather than go to the expense of
maturing them into veal. The high
prices of meat caused the virtual dis
continuance of this killing. Another
encouraging fact Is Is per cent. Of
calves killed for veal this year were
males.
Somebody has very aptly said that
the wars of the world have been won
with grease, meaning that bacon and
lard have been as essential to success
In war as powder, which Is true.
The hogs Of Europe have been very
greatly sacrificed to present day needs.
This makes the American burden all
the more heavy and makes doubly es-
sential an increased pork production
In this nation. In Italy grain is now
forbidden to be fed to hogs. In Den
mark under recent order one-fourth
Of the hnna were ordered to be killed.
It is estimated that one-half have now
been killed.

About Consultation.

Certain articles of diet tend to
check movements of the bowels. The
most common of these are cheese, tea
and boiled milk. On the other hand
raw fruits, especially apples and ba-
nanas, also graham bread and whole
wheat promote a movement of the
bowels. When the bowels are badly
constipated, however, the sure way is
to take one or two of Chamberlain's
Tablets Immediately after supper

Concentrates and roughages make
very costly fuel with which to warm
dairy cows sheltered on the leeward
side of a wire fence these cold wintry
days. Proper shelter decreases the
fuel, feed, cost, and results in increas-
ed milk production.

THE PEACE SOLDIERS AND
WAR MOTHERS WANT.

The Stars and Stripes, the offic-
ial newspaper published by the sol
diers of the American expeditionary
forces in France. says editorially
about the enemy peace offensive
LET the weak hearted who are
dreaming of compromises; let the
pacifists who are talking a peace by
agreement; let the sideliners who
have had enough of war; let the
secretly II clined pro-Germans who
think this war should end without
a decision let them one and all
know once and for all that for the
American expeditionary force there
is no such word as Peace" with
the Huns unbeaten. The man who
talks of peace today, except by a
victory, is a traitor.
The enemy peace offensive is lik-
ened to the action of German ma
chine gun crews in the Vesle fight
ing. when then fought and killed
Americans until they were sur
rounded, then shouted 'Kamerad.
1.-The mothers of the American
soldiers in France want the same
peace their sons demand. All the
courage of the ancient .Spartant
mother is in the hearts of the wo-
men of America"

Demands that you do your share.
Each Belgian babe, that has lost

Cry for succour, but not in vain
For their cries are heard by you.

Can't work alone, she needs your

Though far from the field of pain.
Each dawn that rises, sees on the

Your sons, waiting the word to go,
And when the barrage thunders

They have never faltered or gone
