tral countries since the extension OF
postal privileges TO inhabitants OF
the occupied Rhine Valley area re-
veals the total lack Of appreciation

feeling existing toward them through
out the civilized world. The great ma
jority OF the letters sent contain OIL
iers to do business and plainly indi-
cate that Germany has an enormous
reserve wealth with which TO resume
her struggle for commercial and IN
dustrial supremacy. About twenty-five
percent OF the letters examined are
destined Tor the United States, ad-
dressed TO American manufacturers
by Germans anxious to be appointed
their agents here or purchase their

be welcome customers and that busi-
ness as usual will go, the threads be-

Lou Emmons west Of the city was
in bright and early Monday morning
and paid up his bill for running a
small advertisement in the Banner
News advising the people of this ter
ritory that Emmons & Reeds cider
mill would make cider during certain
time and also that they would sell
sweet cider. Leu says the mill sure
got lot of business which was traced
directly to the advertising and that
they got replies from it for many
miles around. far outside the territory
which they were planning TO solicit.
One reader of the Banner-N ews--L.
ID. Jacox, Of Britton, s. D.--a thous-
and and more miles away, answered
the advertisement and wanted small
barrel Of sweet cider shipped to him
out there. Lou says the order was not
filled owing to the fact that what was
sweet cider when he put it in the bar
rel here would have had a man sized
kick to it by the time Mr.. Jacox got
it out in Dakota and he did not want
to take the chance. He was strong
in his claim. however. that it paid
to advertise in the Banner-News.

GREAT FARM
CENSUS COMING
THIS WINTER
MICHIGAN GROWERS WILL CO.
OPERATE IN THE NATION
AL CANVAS

East Lansing, Mich, Oct 20-A
national farm census which VIII pro-
vide valuable information on the ex-
act condition of the farming industry
in the United States, it to be taken
in connection with the fourteenth gov
eminent census of the population OF
the country, beginning on January i,
1920.
Many of the troubling agricultural
questions of the day are reported as
easy of solution, once the exact facts
on the industry throughout the coun-
try are obtained. When facts are
gathered together, as they will be by
the coming census, the farmers them
selves will have something to go on
in determining profits and losses on
their investments in the industry.
The taking of the census will be a
tremendous affair, as the blanks which
all farmers will be asked to fill out
are necessarily quite detailed. c. II.
Graves, farm management expert at
the Michigan Agricultural College,
reports that the questions en- the af-
ricultural Schedule cover the farm
problems of the day and will furnish
information which should go a long
way in solving them.
"The great responsibility of this
census rests upon the farmers of the
country, says Mr.. Graves. eff the
questions are not answered with ac-
curacy the value Of the work will be
small 1t depends upon the farmers
to give their most serious thought
to this matter in order that the true
condition of the farming interests
can be found.
1.-THE small service asked of the
farmers,-that Of answering the
questions asked in the schedule, is so
small a part Of the whole project,
which is costing the government mil
lions of dollars, that every farmer in
the country should feel that any
failure on his part to do his best
would be little less than unpatriotic
to the farming cause"
