The result Of traffic census taken at
several places in Iowa near important
towns was to disclose that more than
half the vehicles passing over the

BARN DOOR PATCHES ARE COMING.

The time is about to arrive in the
United States when patches on ones
trousers will not only be exhibited as a
badge of patriotism, but will actually
be forced by the necessities of an ex-
hausted market. Philadelphia reports
that new civilian business in worsted
wooden yarns is at standstill, and will
probably remain so for a while. Uncle
Sam is in the market, and virtually all
the business being placed is confined to
government work. Mills that should be
making suitings for the fall trade will
soon be closed unless the government
can find wool for them.
This country never did produce
enough woci inr iis n~r, ,i-.-,;-. SnnL-
ting off ships necessary to bring wool
from Australia and South America and
the addition of the government as
buyer of wool cloth for its soldiers and
sailors has steadily robbed the market
OF wool for civilian clothing.
Already has the government COM
mandeered the wool socks Of the coun-
try, but we can get along very nicely
without wool for socks. It proposes to
take all the wool underwear until it's
army and navy has enough and We viii
have to do without wooden underwear.
But now comes Uncle Sam to the mills
which make cloth for suits and dresses
and there is not going to be much left
but old clothes made over for the people
at home this fall.

The impression has been given out
that General Leonard Wood could not
work in harmony with other military
commanders. People have been made
to believe that he would be insubordi

Wood great injustice. A number of
years ago, when there seemed to be
much opposition to General Wood
mainly because he had been doctor
before becoming a soldier, the editor
of the Capital asked the late Maj. Gen.
Henry G. Corbin. then commander Of
the department of the Philippines, what
he really thought of General Wood.
General Corbin replied, by saying that

Rice In the United States.

During the last two years the pro-
duction of rice In this country has
been at it's maximum, between 36O00,-
600 and 100000 bushels or, roughly.
one and one-ffth billion pounds. So far
as climate and soil are concerned, the
rice acreage In the United States
might be increased many fold, accord
ing to the United States department
Of agriculture, since in the states Of
North Carolina, South Carolina, Geor-
gia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi.
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas and Cali

Missouri, millions Of acres are adopt
ed to the cultivation Of this crop,
while less than one million acres To-
Gated within q comparatively few
states are now occupied by rice. One
of the quickest ways of increasing the
crop, the federal specialists say, is
to expand the acreage In the areas
where rice Is already proftabiy

Hot, heavy foods and iced drinks
often play havoc with bad stomachs
In hot weather. The weak ones haven't
got a chance. A quickly chilled or
overworked stomach is starter of
untold misery for its owner.
When you have that dull, depressed
feeling after eating stomach pains,
bowel disorders, heartburn or nausea,
belching, food repeating-it is the dan
ger point. You want to look out-and
be quick about 1t in this hot weather.
A way has been discovered to make
sick stomachs well and to keep them
cool and sweet. 1t is commonsense
way. No starvation plan of diet is
needed. Make this test and see how
quickly you get a good appetite in
hot weather and enjoy the things you
like without misery to follow.

When q business concern wants to
borrow money 1t makes a business
statement showing the inventory or
money invested at the beginning and
end Of the year-the money taken in
during the year, the expenses and the
profits. With this statement a banker
knows whether or not 1t is safe to
loan money to this company-in other
words, whether the company has a
good chance Of securing profitable re-
turns from a further investment in
their business. A company with a
good business, as shown by such a
statement, usually has good credit
and can borrow money cheaply.
There are many farmers In this
country who keep records Of what
they have on hand at the beginning
and end of the year and of what they
take in and what they spend. These
men can borrow money more easily
and cheaply than most farmers be-
cause they have the figures to show
the banker.
But before a farmer borrows any
money he should have very clearly In
mind what he wants to use it for,
and be very sure that In the end it

COUNTY AGENT
BECOMES LEADER
Has Come to Act as Clearing
House Of Cooperation Be-
tween City and Country.
Can DIRECT where NEEDED
None o. His Time Can Be Devoted 20
Work That Does Not Concern
Agricultural Development
ss Likely TO BE Busy Man.

The growth and the strengthening Of
the county agent system has resulted
IN almost all cases In the county agents
coming to be recognized as the agrl-
cultural leaders in their counties, ac-
cording to reports to the United
States department Of agriculture.
Help for City and Country.
The county agent has come to act
as the clearing house of cooperation.
He is available to both the city man
and the country man and can trans
NIT from one to the other requests for
help and offers Of help. He can di-
rect, to places where it is needed, farm
labor offered; he can assist farmers in
their problem of cooperative market
ing; he can inform chambers of COM
merce, county councils of defense
merchants associations and other ur-
ban bodies, Of the problems before the
farmers in his county; in general he
is in position to act as the medium
through which the town will meet the
needs of the country and the country
will meet the needs Of the town.
Must Concentrate Efforts.
Every county agent is required to
know and observe that his services be-
long to all the people In his county,
but it is evident that none Of his time
can be given to work that does not
concern agricultural development. He
Is placed in the county to stimulate
good farming. Therefore, he must con-
fine himself to work on definite prob
lens affecting farmers. 1t is neces-
sary for him to utilizeSthe aid Of COM
tmunity organizations to the fullest
extent and it is within his duties to
impress upon the town people how
vital their interest and help is to the
farmers.
In the war emergency the county
agents are not only representing the
agricultural colleges and the depart
ment of agriculture but are assisting
the food administration, the treasury
department, the war department, the
navy department, the department of
justice and the department Of labor.
Help in Direct War Work.
They have aided, in addition to
their regular activities, in such work
as food surveys, seed surveys, seed
distribution, obtaining credit for farm
'ers, selling Liberty bonds, eradication
of livestock diseases, surveys Of live
stock diseases, surveys Of insect pests
and campaigns for their destruction,
farm products, preferential
or priority shipments by railroads Of
farm products and all farm supplies,
and the dissemination Of information
given out by the war department, the
council Of national defense and the
committee on public information re-
garding the war and other matters af-
fecting the national policy under war
conditions.
Thus it can be seen that the county
agent is likely to be a rather busy
man.
