THE REASON WHY"

b. A. Thomas Stock Remedies
are the best, they are scientifically
made and all medicine. They keep
the health up, and the feed bills
down. There is cause for every
effect, remove the cause the effect
removes itself.
The Poultry Remedies are espe-
cially made to relieve all the dis
eases in the Fowl family and makes
the Hens lay.
The Hog Remedy will positive
ly keep off the Cholera, and if gi-
ven in the stages, will cure 80 per
cent.
Don't forget to keep on hand a
bottle of Farris' Collie Remedy for
Horses. 1t is SO simple with a
dropper, that child can give it.
Also a bottle of Farris' Healing
Remedy for Cuts and Bruises on
man or beast, they never fail.
These remedies are all guaran-
teed to you by your dealer, to give
satisfaction, or your money back.

prepared by United States Department

Each field agent of the bureau Of
crop estimates, United States depart
ment of agriculture, now publishes
crop report from his own territory.
Immediately upon the issuance of a
crop report in Washington the United
States figures are telegraphed to each
agent, together with figures for his
particular territory. The agent at
once issues a mimeOgraph report with
comments on crop and weather condi-
lions in his state, copies of which are
furnished to the press and to crop re-
pOrters and published in full in many
dailies. In some of the states agents
now are issuing reports on a county
basis. The service is winning warm
appreciation.
For this service in securing quickly
reliable reports along special lines de-
cided improvements have been made in
the organization of this bureau Field
agents of demonstrated ability have
been employed; their offices supplied
with clerks, telephones and other time
saving equipment; and every field
agent has a mimeograph and an adj
dressing machine. The field man now
is able promptly to make both general
and restricted special investigations,
either upon his own initiative or upon
Geographic request from Washington.

VOTES FOR WOMEN DOMESTIC
Wilson Tells Delegation Conference
Too Unwieldy to Hope
for Much.

Paris, Jan. 2S.-Addressing a delega-
ton of working women of France at
the Murat mansion, President Wilson
said in part:
Mile Thomson and Ladies':
"YOu have not only done me a great
honor but you have touched me very
much by this unexpected tribute. and
may add that you have frightened
me because, realizing the great con-
fidence you place in me, l am led to
question my own ability to justify that
confidence.
you have not placed your confidence
wrongly in my hopes and purposes
but perhaps not all of these hopes
and purposes can be realized in the
great matter that you have so much
at heart-the right Of women to take
their full share in the political life
of the nations to which they belong
THAT is necessarily a domestic
question for the several nations. A
conference of peace settling the rela-
tons of nations with each other would
be regarded as going. very much out
side its province if it undertook TO
dictate to the several states what their
internal policy should be-"
