MORE HELP IN HARVEST.
Men Assist in Shocking Wheat at
Greene Farm.

More business men of the city
worked Friday afternoon in the hot sun
in an effort to save the harvest on the
Merritt Greene farm, leased by the
Western Grocer Company. The COM
pany had nine of it's own men at work
in the field. but they were unable to
handle the work. Those who volun-
teered were George Gregory, B. B.
Shollenberger, H. c. Upton, DR.. H. w.
Householder and Secretary c. H. KEN
Ter, of the Marshalltown Club. A fine
supper was served the men at the close
of the work.
It has been suggested that business
men who can help in response to calls
for labor in the fields, volunteer by
telephoning the Marshalltown Club or
County Agent Buchanan. 1t also has
been suggested that the men do after
supper work. from to 9. and that
larger numbers can accomplish just as
much in two hours after supper as a
few men can by working all afternoon.
This plan has been tried in Hardin
county and proved successful. Twenty
five to thirty men at a time have gone
into the country for after supper work
and cleaned up many fields where grain
was suffering for lack of help.

EXPRESS COMPANIES HARD HIT.
Lack Of Help May Lead to curtaiI-
rnent Of Service.

Local officers Of the three express
companies. which have been seriously
affected by the shortage Of help, find
themselves so hard hit that it was pre-
dicted by one Of the agents today that
unless help can be secured it may be
necessary to curtail service in the city.
It was indicated that probably the first
curtailrnent to be made, If it is found
necessary to conserve the time Of the
limited amount Of help, would be to
discontinue the delivery of express
packages into the residence districts.
Each Of the three companies was one
driver short this morning, three having
quit in the last twenty-four hours. In
addition to these three, three other
employees are going into the army next
week and heads Of the local Offices are
at their wits end trying to secure men
to drive wagons.
It is said that the consolidation OF
the three offices when that is accom-
plished will not make the labor situa-
ton with the company any the less
serious because Of the greatly in
creased volume Of business the com
panies<are handling. In this respect
It is pointed out that where ordinarily
July Is one of the quletest months OF
the year it is proving to be one of the
busiest.

COUNTY TO BE ORDERED TO
SEED THAT ACREAGE TO
WINTER WHEAT.
is SIX TIMES ACREAGE
THAT WAS SEEDED IN 1917
Campaign to Secure the Acreage to Be
Opened Soon by the Marshall Coun-
ty Farm Improvement Association
County War Service League Prob
ably to Be Called on to Assist.

Marshall county will soon be called
on to seed 5000 acres to winter wheat.
That acreage is the county's quota of
the acreage for the entire nation that
is to be put into fall seeding for the
winter crop. The campaign to secure
this acreage Of this crop is to be opened
at a meeting Of the directors of the
Marshall County Farm Improvement
Association that is to be held next Sat
urday At that time the details of the
plans will be decided on.
1t will be better understood what an
acreage the size of the county's quota
seeded to winter wheat means, when
it is known that the acreage seeded to
this crop last fall totaled 1900 acres.
The quota is more than six times what
was seeded last fall. and it means that
on the average every farm in the coun-
~ must produce five acres. /
The campaign for the states acreage
of winter wheat seeding is being han
died thru Iowa State College, AmeS. 1t
is quite probable that the directors of
the Marshall County Farm Improve
mont Association, which will handle the
campaign III the COulitS ILL u tiIc oii1S
Of County Agent Buchanan, will call
upon the war service league and the
county council of defense for assist
ance. It is expected that using the
5000 acres as the countys quota,
quota for each township will be fixed,
and the war service league workers and
members of the council of defense will
be called upon in each township to can
vass the farmers and secure pledges of
acreage Until each townships quota is
secured The canvassers will ascer-
tain ut the same time the amount of
seed each farmer will require, and the
results of the campaign will all be re-
ported in to the office of the county
agent II is necessary that the cam
paign be begun very soon and speedily
completed, so that seed can be secured
and distributed as the seeding should
be finished by the middle of September.

The sleeveless coat has shown Its su :
periority over every other summer
wrap. There is no other garment which
could make the sweater coat, the IA
vorite Of so many seasons lose its
popularity. To be sure sweater coats
still exist in great numbers and are as
pretty as ever, but those which have
received the sanction and approval OF
Dame Fashion are without sleeves.
And so 1T is that every woman who
wished to be dressed in the popular
fashion has taken the sleeves out OF
her silk sports coat Of last season, or
from her sports suit Of her linen
smocks.
The coat pictured is made OF wool
jersey It is a dark forest-green edged
with black. The sashends are fringed
with black silk Such coat is ideal
for the cooler days OF summer and
early fall and is most correct for wear
on the golf links, at the country club
or as a walking costume. The hat pic
tured is a dark green taffeta to match
the coat and is an excellent shade hat.

FINDS Fertilizer PAYS
Increases Yield Of Wheat and Oats.

According to the Indiana Farmers
Guide, James Stedman Of Deer Creek,
who Is one of the most successful
farmers In Miami county, Indiana, con-
sistently uses fertilizer to supplement
the manure on his fields, and Is well
satisfied that the returns justify the
money invested in fertilizer He SAYS |:
Il have not sown any wheat without
fertilizer since 1895, and I have aver
aged better than 80 bushels to the
acre during that time. My best Yield
was in 1915, when I averaged 1875
bushels" A comparison Of Mr.. Sted-
mans yield with the average yield of
Miami county shows how good his
crops are. The average for Miami
county is about 20 bushels, and for the
same year the average for the entire
state Of Indiana was only II bushels.
Mr.. Stedman also says that the use
OF fertilizer enables him to harvest
his crop much sooner than otherwise.
He reports an accidental experiment
with oats In 1917. where the supply Of
fertilizer ran out before he finished
sowing the oats. The part Of the field
which was fertilized was ready to
harvest much sooner than the infer
tilted. In addition Mr.. Stedman says:
u am sure could have gotten 10
bushels more per acre on the part Of
the field that was not fertilized had
used fertilizer there, although the
unfertflized section was really the bet
ter part Of the field In the beginning"

VIA: Is Uric oAcid !?

Everyone has uric acid in the system,
but naturally in small quantities. Ex-
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much meat and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
OF the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out Of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail TO do this, hence the uric acid accu-
mulates and the urate salts are carried
by the blood to the solid tissue structure,
causing backache, lumbago, rhcuma-
tism, dropsy, drowsiness, and tired
feeling. -.
To overcome the trouble is only a
matter of toning up the kidneys, and tins
is best done by treatment with Anuric,
