Specializing often Wins.

Many persons do not market by par.
eel post because they do not have a
large variety of produce or because
their supply is available only part Of

Many persons have secured custom,

of produce, such as butter or eggs,
which can be supplied during the en-,

have offered an outlet for other com.

occasionally or for produce which is
rarely to be had in city markets. In

Meeting Labor Demand.

Although tile largest acreage on
record was planted in 1918 by Ameri-
can farmers, the great crops of the
year were harvested under difficulties
not appreciably greater than those in
normal times, says the annual report
of the secretary of agriculture.
"The department of agriculture con-
tinued throughout the year to give
earnest attention to the securing and
mobilization of an adequate supply of
farm labor" the report states. ut
maintained its representatives, sta
toned in eacn state in the spring of
1917, and perfected its own organiza-
ton, enlisting the more active CO.
operation of the county agents and
other extension workers.
ut more fully co-ordinated its activ-
flies with the department of labor, a
representative of the department of
agriculture having been designated
member of the war labor policies
board which was created by the presi-
dent. 1t has also aided the war de-
partment in connection with the clas-
sification of agricultural registrants.
Special efforts were made, beginning
early in the year, to impress upon the
residents of urban communities the
necessity of aiding farmers in the
planting and harvesting of their crops
1.-THE response to appeals along this
line was generous. In Kansas, for ex.
ample, where the situation was espe.
cially difficult, the reports indicate
that more than $4,000 workers were
supplied to farmers to assist in the
wheat harvest. The potato crop in
two counties IN Texas was saved
through the aid of the business men in
the local communities, and in Illinois
$4,000 workers were registered for
harvest work"
Many other examples could be cited,
the secretary says.

One Of the Best types Of Fire Cart for Rural Use.

ing brush or rubbish, where in most
cases water is not available, an or
ganized neighborhood fire company
equipped with Il chemical cart would
be of the greatest utility.
The Office of farm management of
the United States department of agri-
culture has for some time urged the
use of chemical apparatus as more
effective than water against fires on
the farm, especially where kerosene,
gasoline or other oil is involved, and
as an indispensable reinforcement to
the use of water in all cases. That is
secured in the California plan together
with an even more effective thing, the
organization of the men of the COM
munity in such way that they can
make their efforts almost Immediately
effective against any fire.

The Many Mysteries

odor. and in the other you get flower OF
rare beauty. You can plant a poppy seed
and get opium Ia dangerous, habit-tormlng

scientist, living or dead, can explain these
mysteries of Nature Behind the invisible

secret that nobody understands. Every
thing growing out of the ground seems in

conditions. DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. H.,
long since found out what is naturally best
for women's diseases. He learned 1T all
through treating thousands OF cases. The
result of his studies was medicine called
DR.. Pierce's Fayorite Prescription. This
medicine is made of vegetable growths that

common to women in all ages of life. DR..

SINCERITY SHOWN IN LIFE
Venerable Declaration That Faith
Without Works Is Of No Avail
Remains True.

An author tells us that sincerity is
the supreme virtue; but that sincerity
Is not expressed In words--only In
real life. The venerable declaration
that faith without works is dead is
true. And one will see an illustra-
ton of the fact on every side every
day. The fact Is the world does not
live what II believes. We noted In a
book the other day that there would
be little, IL any, controversy IL men
said what they thought and felt. This
Is surely true. Men differ as soon
as they appeal from the spirit to the
intellect. This Is because the spirit
deals with the fundamentals and the
intellect with the Details Sincerity
belong TO the former. II is more than
an opinion. 1t is bigger than stand
point. 1t Is where sincerity gets its
influence, which is the still, small
voice that comes out of the whirlwind
that roars around every mans life.
But we should remember that sim
certify is not concoction. but a vir-
tue, as real as mothers love. And
don't mistake sincerity for consls-
tency. They may be acquainted. but
they are not related.-ohio State
