persons to whom the advertisement
will appeal. Advertisements should be

the goods with the prices, and the

edition of n newspaper gives better
results than the daily edition. The
person who advertiSes must offer
product that is wanted by the persons
who read the paper at the time the
product is advertised. in the places
where the paper has circulation. In

THE IRISH POTATO THE FOOD
OF THE PEOPLE

The Irish potato is staple Of
American diet. Enough potatoes were
consumed in the United States in 1915
to allow one eight-ounce potato day
throughout the whole year for each
man, woman and child.
Truly, the potato is the food Of the
people. The portion Of the American
meal made up by this vegetable, alone,
consumes over 300.OOO.OOO bushels an.
nually.
Intensive methods make 1t possible
to grow crops yielding from $50 to 400
bushels per acre, and at the same time
to decrease the cost of raising each
bushel. The big expense In potato
growing comes in the preparation of
the land, the purchase Of the seed and
the attention given the crop through
out the season. But 1t costs no more
to prepare ground, plant, cultivate and
spray a 300-bushel crop than it does
150-bushel crop. Harvesting will cost
more, but the big overhead expenses
are practically the same. Obviously
the thing to do is to insure large
yields by supplying an abundance OF
available plant food that will give the
crop good start and force it to early
maturity.
Fertilizers should be applied at the
time of planting, and in order to make
certain that this material may be on
hand when needed it is especially i'm
portant to order early this year.
The man who has his fertilizer
stored in his own barn is the only one
who can be certain of supply when
needed. A big potato crop will be
needed next year whether peace comes
or not,

I will not form the habit of INDUCING
in "reminiscences.
will be particularly careful not to
repeat the same anecdotes over and
over.
will not complain of the present
and claim the past was much better.
If I am deaf, weak-eyed, lame or
otherwise afflicted will not advertise
my infirmities, but avoid obtruding
them upon the notice Of others as
much as possible.
will not talk of myself, my works,
or my achievements, even of my mis-
takes, any more than is necessary.
will speak cheerfully or keep still.
will never indulge in cynicism,
never sneer at youth, and I will try
always to appreciate what younger
folks do.

will not give advice unless it is
asked, and not often then.
will not be irritable.
l will not be nuisance nor an en-

will not be offended by neglect, but
will remember the words. of the sage
"Those who come to see me do me hon
or; those who do not come to see me
do me a favor"
will be as little disagreeable as
possible, and will never use my natural
disagreeableness as a means of getting
my way.
! will cultivate the friendship and
companionship of young children, who
alone understand old age.
will learn to love to be alone. As

: Getting Rid of Colds.

The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This prep
aration has been in use for many
years and its value fully proven. No
matter what remedy you use. how
ever, care must be taken not to con-
tract second cold before you have
recovered from the first one, and
there is serious danger OF this. A
man of middle age or older should
go to bed and stay in bed until fully
recovered. 1t is better to stay In
bed three days at the start than
three weeks later on.

BETTER-AORSE CLUB
WOULD HELP FARMERS
Lovers OF Driving Animals Would
Also Profit BY Work just
Started In Maryland.

The organization OF farmers and low
ers of riding and driving horses in
Maryland into Better-horse Clubs. got
its start recently when w. O. Seigert,
of Galesville, Anne Arundel county.
formed such club among West River
farmers. The purpose Of the organiza-
tons Is to improve the breed Of Mary
land farm and driving horses and to
endeavor to make county fairs, horse
fairs in truth, where the animals may
be exhibited, exchanged. bought and
sold.
The formation Of such clubs has the
support Of the Maryland Breeding Blu
reau, which has headquarters on the
18th floor of the American Building
Baltimore, and which offers to give
such assistance as it can to those who
wish to organize.
1t will supply information concern
ing the breeding Of horses and will
refer all who wish to breed their
mares to. thoroughbred stations, to
those Maryland horse lovers who now
have noted sires loaned them by. the
bureau.
w. O. Seigert, president of the West
River Better-horse Club, now has two
of the bureaus stations and to aid the
cause he has announced that he will
place the stud fee at a very low price.
A half-bred mare he owns has been
bred to Roderick one of the most
noted sires Of this country and Eng
land. The colt will be foaled in June
and is expected to prove an ideal
cross.
His brother has bred mare out OF
Clydesdale mare by q Percheron
sire, to Roderick and the result is OK
pected to be horse partaking of the
best characteristics of his thorough
bred sire and his heavier dam. 1t
