+ - FARM HELP
During the past week this depart
ment has had five inquiries for farm
help. The cry seems to be Where
Can Secure a Good Man," If parties
desiring to work on a farm will leave
their names with us, we will try and
locate good job for them. The wages
for farm help in Crawford county will
be above the average for competent
help, and anyone wishing to work will
have no trouble in finding it.
Theo. Blume was county seat Wis
itor from Hanover township on Fri
day afternoon.
Tom Fitzpatrick, ""Tom Fitz," for
short, is one of the farmers whom we
like to see get something new; he al.
ways takes so much pride in keeping
up things. His latest purchase was 2
fine set of light work harness, bought
from the Denison Harness Store. Z,

VIM. Marshall, the overseas soldier
boy, who recently returned from
France, contenaplates taking up. farm
ing and is located out, in East Boyer
township, near Henry Meyers. One
of the first purchases made was set
of Concord harness. Soldier boys who
return home, and hasten back, to the
farm, are the fellows who are going
to assist very materially in the work
of reconstruction. And right here we
might mention Harry Hoffman, re.
turned sailor boy who takes a farm
down in Nishnabotny township and
also starts out with new Denison
Harness Store harness, recently pur-
chased. '% e.. D..
Among the farmers in town the past
week we mention Fred Neubaum, Of
Stockholm township, who attended the
style, show at the Denison Harness
Store and took home a new outfit for
one of his fine teams.

THE AMERICAN HEN IN WAR
The United Press says: when the
story of the war is written there
should be page reserved for the
achievements Of the American hen in
the fateful year 1918. The hens set
up a production record that wipes all
earlier marks off the slate. There
were 1921, 100000 dozens of eggs laid
during the year, which, reduced to
figures that are understandable, shows
that the hens produced every day be-
tween five and six eggs for every man,
woman and child in the country. The
egg crop was 147, 100000 dozens larger
than in 1914, and ;226, OO0,0O0s dozens
larger than the average for the five
year period prior to the war. Toasts
will be drunk to the American eagle,
the praises of our heroes will be sung,
and everything from posters down to
corn, that helped win the war, will be
given just credit. At such time the
great American hen should not be for
gotten" 1921

The selling power Of Review adver-
Using was never more fully demon
strated than during the past few
weeks. W., K. Dobler, we'll known as
a breeder Of Duroc Jersey swine. up
near Vail. had thirty-five head Of bred
sows he wished to sell. For various
reasons he could not hold public!
sale, and decided to sell at private
treaty. When arranging for his ad-
vertising he said he didn't believe an
ad for one week would do him very
much good, but was satisfied that if
it was run for four or five weeks 1T
would sell his stock for him., He
therefore contracted for liberal space
to run in five consecutive issues. On
Friday Mr.. Dobler was q caller at the.
Farm News Department and reported
the result of the advertising. He re-
ceived some replies after the first is
sue Of the paper containing the ad. the
second issue, brought him aefew more,
and after the third issue business as
sumed some proportions, and at the
end Of the fifth week, he was swamped
with inquiries. He had not only sold
every one Of the thfrty-five head of
sows, but had twenty-six letters ask
ing for stock after the last animal had
been taken away. To begin with Mr..
Dobler had some good stock, some Of
he best OF the breed. The herd COM.
prised tried and fall sows, all bred to
Col. King Orion and Col Redeemer,
.wo of the greatest sires in the COM
and having the stock he put it,
before the people, and kept it before
hem. %sE&H a5&.
