Simmons, of 623 State St., York, Pa.
"My duties as a chain-welder requires
a steady nerve and quiet ambition to
do a days work. My nervous system
began to swag. l had no ambition.
Everything 1 did appeared to be a
task for me. l had used several diff
ferent kinds of medicine. Some of
them helped as long as was taking
them, but as soon as 1 stopped, felt
even worse than before.
"Tonall was recommended so highly
to me that l at once commenced tax
ing it. To my great satisfaction, it
has proven to me to be the best Tonic

civilians must be clothed, just as
they must have food, heat and shell
ter When you buy our clothes, it is
a saving because they wear longer
than the ordinary kind. A man
doesn't have to buy so many, which
means saving Of labor and materi-
ials for war work. You really econo-
Imize when you buy here. 1t isn't
Just selling" in this store; we mean
| to be an actual help to the cause.
Buy clothes when you need them;
buy the kind that are quality
clothes such as we recommend.
They wear longer. Get your clothes
pressed often, put them on hangers,
brush them carefully-it all helps
to make them serve longer. Cheap
clothes are usually an extravaganza.
Real economy comes in getting the
quality and wear in all good clothes.
That's the kind we buy and sell,
with our absolute guarantee. Garry

Gleanings From the County Agent
Office.


Office.
The u. S. Department of Agricul-
ture in its program for increased
wheat production appreciates the re-
markable showing made by Winnie
shiek county farmers this year. This,
however, is not enough. We must
continue with our program. We
have been asked by the Federal
Government TO SOW at least 1000
acres of winter wheat this fall. Far
'mers who possibly can are asked to
put in piece of fall wheat. This
should be done during the first ten
days of September.
Farm Bureau Launches Agricultural
Exchange.
Thus far the office of the county
agent has materially assisted farmers
throughout the county in securing
seed and farm labor. This has been
done in an unorganized way.
In an organized way during the
past few days, the work has been set
up in all parts of the county SO as to
represent every school district. In
structions have been sent to someone
in each school district and to all
members of the Farm Bureau AS
ISOLATION. Instructions have also
been sent to someone in each of the
county townships and county places.
ia local board has been provided at
leach of these places for the convent
ence Of the public.
This agricultural exchange will do
great deal to eliminate distance be-
tween the man who has breeding
stock for sale or wishes to buy. II
will also materially facilitate in the
distribution of seed grains, and in
the handling of Farm Labor through
out the county.
