How to Save the Crop

Rain and cold weather have de.
layed the spring work to such an ex.
tent that u crops are in danger.
The possibility of a poor year with
its resultant slowing down of bust
less stares us in the face.
If we do not have a crop farmers
will not be able to make their usual
fall settlements. Dealers will not
be able to meet their bills. Bankers
will be owe loaded with notes that
they will be forced to renew and
carry ove until next year. AS a
result of this burden they will not
be able to properly finance their
next years crops.
Tremendous hardship-the loss of
thousands of dollars-failure of bu.
siness men and farmers not fnan-
cially strong enough to stand the
strain of a poor year-restrictions
of operations for the coming year
these are facts that we must Crap
ple with now.
W. can do two things.
We can go along in the same old
way taking things as they come. If
we don't get a good crop W can be-
wall our lot and tell the same hard
luck story that we always tell when
we have nc one to blame but our.
selves for our trouble Or
We can resolve with firm determi-
nation that Cavalier county will &c
lover the top with a bumper crop
just as she has gone over the tor
with colors flying in every Liberty
Loan-jrst as she has more than met
successfully every demand made or
her in the great battle we have re-
Gently won.
Cavalier county is no agricultural.
Stacker. We believe she will gt
over the top.
To that end we urge the use Of
improved, labor saving machinery Of
every kind that crops may be put i.
with all speed and efficiency. A few
days gained by the use of up.to.date
machinery may mean the difference
between success and failure to many
a farmer. 1t may spell prosperit.
instead Of poverty to the county a
large.
Dealers are 'doing their bit" By
pushing to the utmost sales Of trac
tors and power farm machinery. 4

Awarded The Agency For
Famous Mirolene Treatment

In awarding the exclusive sales control to
this we'll known and progressive firm the COM
pany is only carrying out the established GUS
tom Of confirming the sales to but one respon-
sible firm in each town where Mirolene Is
placed on sale. In this connection, no matter
where you 90, you will find Mirolene Stores
the leading and reputable firm in the town.
Just such firms as this are always anxious and
willing to cooperate in promoting the sale and
introduction of Mirolene, not only because of its
superior merits, but because of the prominence
and valuable publicity they receive from the
sale of it.
This firm, having heard thru an absolutely re-
liable source of the remarkable and rapid grow
ing demand for Mirolene in other localities, did
not hesitate a minute in placing their order and
taking the exclusive agency for this town.
AS a matter of fact. the sales of Mirolene
throughout the country has not only been
phenomenal but unprecedented. In a country
town of less than 100 population the sale
amounted to almost two gross in less than
eight months. While these figures may seem
exaggerated and beyond all reason. the fact
remains that they are absolutely true and
correct and open for investigation.

"When he came back he went to her,
