MAE ALLISON HAS
 FUNNY EXPERIENCE

''The old one-hoss shay" said May Allison, as .she picked herself out of a furrow of dust by tho roadside. has nothing on that wagon" And she proceeded to gather together her belongings which were scattered about.
 When the Metro company had re- turned to the studios from Pine Crest whithcr they had gone for some scenes the star admitted she never wanted another such experience.
 "I thought you were used to such things" said q consoling friend.
 ''No, not exactly corrected the sunny May. "It was one of those cases where we tried 10 make little go a long ways and we failed miser- ably"
 IL seems that when they started the rickety old trap squaked loud complaint. When they'd gone about a mile the ainsletrees broke: another mile and the traces snapped. The third mile the thing collapsed like a trick hat, and they all spilled out

ADS
 SHOULD BE
 UP TO DATE

Many newspapers take no pains to have their merchants change their advertising. They allow merchants to keep along with the same notice for months or years. AS the news paper is saved expense in resetting, it is a temptation for publishers to let it go and say nothing.
 The newspaper wants advertisers to get the full worth of their money. To do that there should be some variety in their notice. The adver- tisers that use 1t as a news announce ment, giving an account of special bargains and values as these appear in their store, are the ones who get the most value out of space, and who usually take the most space.
 The Times-F'arrner would never discourage an advertiser from chang ing his ad. It believes that the man who uses his space to feature the de- velopments in his store is on the way to bigger business, when he will con sistently need and use more space.
 Still it is foolish to say that the man who keeps a standing ad week after week is not getting value. He is placing his sign board in a place where 1t is seen a great many more times than the sign over his door is read. It Is 8 constant remi:der that he is on the job, furnishing standard service.
 The standing ad should be watch ed to see that it does not contain mat ter out of season. One man known to the writer used to wake up and put in a lawn mower ad about July 4. Then he would leave it there until January. Some one would call his attention to the fact thar if of date. Then he would put in an ad on oil heaters, and leave it until he again woke up to it's inappropriate ness in July. Some of the people who claim that advertising doesn't pay run on about that basis.

FRENCH CROSS FOR WOUNDED KNIGHTS SECY. Kept 325th Infantry Sup piled With Smokes. REGIMENT HAD
 BEEN CUT OFF Lost Leg At Fond du Lac
 Woods.

A year ago this time, it was; and midsummer moon flooded the muddy fields of France in brilliant light. Up in the front line in the Fond du Lac woods near Pont a Monsoon, the boche "Iinnies" were ripping big holes in the S2nd Division positions, and the 325th regiment was cut off from supplies.
 In the clear moonlight 1t was isu1- eide to rush supplies to the upper trenches, and none tried it. Then to the amazement of the Americans, a Casey" a tremedous big fellow he was, climbed over the parapet, and dragging a huge burlap bag after him. crawled through the grime to bring his boys, smokes, chocolate, and doughnuts. Within a few yards of the communication trench, the ex- ploding shells closed nearer and near CT to the big fellow, and then he lay flat and still in the shadow of a shell hole. A terrific explosion, the boche had found the range. and they picked q up Casey" his leg blown to bits, but smiling:
 q got a few smokes for you. kids"
 That was the way 1t happened, and yesterday Joseph Patrick Crowe, the fearless K. of C. received word in his home in Binghaniton. N Y, that General PetIin, Commander of the French Armies has awarded him the CroiX de Guerre with a gold star. The citation was issued May 5, and he was then praised for his bravery in the Argonne when he was wounded again.
 Shortly after the United States went into the war, Joe" Grove tried to enlist in the Army. but was too old. As a Casey under fire, Major Castle of the Sand Division says Grove was man clear through

 A screen star will speak of clothes and beauty because she knows to a certain extent her subject but she wouldn't think of speaking on mat ters she knew nothing about.
 As far as wiseenheimer takers go the woods are full of 'em.
 So let 'em rave so we may laugh for the greatest tonic in the world is a good laugh.
 Nowadays the wise man doesn't believe half he hears and doubts part of the rest.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, through the information
Office, has just sent out warning to
the farmers of the country of the prob
able consequences of the rapidly rising
land prices. The circular says: Prices
of farming lands in many sections of
the United States, especially in Iowa
and the other corn-belt states, have
risen with such rapidity that serious
consequences may be expected. Farm
ers have sold land at prices that have
seemed high, and then have bought
again at still higher figures, losing
thousands of dollars in the exchange.
The bona fide farmer who purchases
land at the present high prices may
find the returns on his investment alb
normally small if earnings should de-
cline when normal conditions are re-
stored. . If you desire to buy farm
you should be very sure that the price
you pay is fully justified by the prob
able net earnings of the farm when
conditions become more normal. If you
sell, be careful that the buyer of your
farm is able to complete his payment
on March first in case he fails to resell.
In general it is safe to require an initial
cash payment of third the sale
price. Be cautious about specializing
yourself; a land boom may collapse
suddenly.
