Great Value.

Because Of numerous inquiries which
have come to the office of the county
farm bureau regarding the production
Of soy beans, County Agent w. A.
Buchanan anticipates greatly in
creased acreage In this county this
year. 1t is evident from results Sc
cured locally during the past two years
that an increased crop will result this
season. Much has been said OF late
about the value of the SOY bean. and
there Is an impression among many
farmers that any kind or variety OF
bean will do. To correct this false
impression Mr.. Buchanan has pre-
pared a statement regarding the bean
and It's production which will prove
valuable to all who anticipate bean
production.
1T is just as necessary to plant
varieties OF soy beans adapted to our
local soil and climatic conditions as 1t
is with varieties of corn" said Mr..
Buchanan. The varieties Of soy beans
host adapted to our conditions depends
upon the purpose for which they are
grown If we desire to grow soy beans
with corn for hosging. down purposes.
then some medium early variety will
best suit our needs. The majority OF
farmers prefer any other medium early
variety OF bean in preference to the
jet black varieties. for the reason that
hogs can not readily distinguish black
SOY beans from the soil. while yellow,
green or brown, or beans of two or
three colors. are more easily seen il
they fall from the pods"
Advantages Of Black Varieties.
| It is true that black varieties of soy
beans seem to thrive, better during
cool. wet weather. but this advantage
is insufficient to recommend their use
| over that OF the yellow varieties. said
Mr.. Buchanan. The seed stems and
leaves of black soy beans usually are
not as large rs those OF other varieties.

WorldWarBegan 5 Years Ago Today

A declaration by the kingdom of
Austria Hungary five years ago today
plunged the world into the greatest
war of all history, costing millions of
lives, untold suffering and almost
countless treasure. Yet out of the wreck
of nations, devastation of property and
anguish of humanity has arisen the
hope of a new world order of right
and justice for all mankind and the
doom of warfare.
On July 2S, 1914, Austria waged
war on Serbia, the hostilities arising
from the assassination of Archduke
Francis Ferdinand at Sarajevo one
month earlier. Supported and urged
on by Germany, viii ch planned the con
quest of the world, Austria little rocked
that the ultimate result would be the
downfall Of the autocratic military
power of the Teutonic nations.
The United States, while not drawn
into the whirlpool of blood until April
6, 1917, when Congress declared state
of war with Germany, played stu
pendous part in the conflict and threw
the strength of the nation into the
struggle at a critical moment, with the

intently, making frequent" notes and
finally, thanking Whimple, hung up.
1--WE are on the right track, Peter.
You know that Jermyn is the vice pres
ident of the Gas and Iron Bank. He
referred me to Whimple, who is high
grade money loaner who deposits at the
Gas and Iron Bank.
He knows Purvis by. sight and by
reputation. He tells me that Purvis is
a jolly, easy going, very conceited fell
low. He gets people to loan him money
at rates varying from 1 per cent to 4
per cent a month, and he loans it to
small manufacturers on security of bills
receivable, at rates from per cent to
10 per cent a month.
at seems that many wealthy profess
sional money sharks use Purvis as an
outlet for spare cash. They seem to
believe in his ability to see that his COL
lateral is o. X, and think he has some
money of his own. Whimple says he's
absolutely nothing except the interest
on his notes.
"Whimple believes he's made big
money for a year or two, but lately
has got careless in what he takes"
"What do you think, then, Mr..
Duke?' inquired.
II don't know yet, but it looks as If
he is getting very bad collateral from
concerns who are on the verge of bank
ruptcy. 1t stands to reason that no man
can pay per cent a month interest and
last long"
"No? Wouldn't it be worth a ten
dollar bill for a, man to get hold of a
couple of hundred dollars for an emer-
gency?"
'It isn't just $40. Peter, but it's
borrowing money at the rate of 6 per
cent month-it's like paying $120 for
the use Of 5000 for a year. Even
worse, for as Purvis takes the interest
in advance, it is like getting $40 cash
now and having to pay 5000 year
hence for the use of it.
"Gosh," I gasped, ~ never realized
it was as bad as that"
