FARM TOOL REPAIRS

Mr.. .Sudler says that his
stock of repairs or extra parts
is now fairly complete. Some
items, however, are practical
ly unobtainable. We placed
very large orders last fall for
this years requirements and
shipments have been string
ing along ever since. Mr.. Sud-
Ter and his men have given
very close attention to this
part of our business and will
continue to do so. It surely
will be a relief to all of us
when we can again secure re-
pair partspromptly.

An Investment
Worth Mentioning

It does not often happen
that a really high grade in
vestment and nine per cent
net income are combined.
This is, however, offered by
The Produce Company in it's
issue of Preferred Stock.
The Bylaws provide, and it
is so printed on every certifi-
cate, that the Company must
at all times. maintain a mar
gin of two dollars net assets
for every dollars worth of
stock issued. This means that
after all debts are paid there
would remain in the posses
sion of the Company property
worth at least twice as much
as the total Of all preferred
stock outstanding. The facts
are that were we to sell $780,
600 worth of the stock this
year we would actually have
a net margin of over two and
a half to one, and this will
doubtless grow still larger
from year to year. Consider
the above with, what follows:
The Produce Company en-
tered the merchandise BUSH
ness March 1, 1909, with a cap
ital of $4,000. It's sales that
year were $4,000. It's net
profits $1,116.00. Every year
since the sales have increased
and in 1920 will nearly or
quite reach a million dollars.
The Company has carried a
fair net profit every year and
in addition to paying six cash
dividends of from ten to fiji
teen per cent, it retains for
use in the conduct of the bust
mes over ninety thousand dol
lars. profit.
The Company operates 4
stores in Benton county and
all are growing and all earn
fair profits. The 81 employees
are efficient, well paid, loyal
and well organized.
The class of merchandise
carried would not under any
circumstances show much
shrinkage and could readily
be converted into cash at
small loss.
The undersigned has been
manager from the start and
expects to so continue. In
case of his death The Produce
Company would realize $780,
900 cash from insurance COM
panies.
The Company deals. in ne
cessities only. Being so well
established it is sure to con-
tinue to grow and develop.
Preferred stock shares are
$25 each and dividends will
be paid in cash on the first
days of January, April, July
and October of each year.
Detailed financial statement
and complete information will
be furnished to all who are in
terested. This stock will sure,
ly sell at a premium in a very
few years. We offer it now at
par. It will draw nine per
cent in quarterly payments
and is free from income tax.
All statements above are
guaranteed and will be veri-
fled whenever requested.

WHAT Is YOUR GUESS?


The barrel Of Butter Ball
Kisses on which the Sherlock
Holmeses among our custom
ers have been working, is
getting low. To speed up the
finish and determine the best
guesser we are going to close
them out Saturday at 48c a
pound and give five guesses
with every pound purchase, or
one guess with every 10-cent
purchase. We will announce
the name of the winner Mon
day, July 10.
Our stock of Fruit Jars,
Tops and Rubbers is very
complete in nearly all makes.
We specialize in these goods
and buy in large quantities,
thus securing bottom prices.
This saving we pass on to our
customers.

Joe Becomes Trainer

Did you ever hear a shrill
soprano voice in the basement
Of The Produce Company's
store calling kitty, kitty,
kitty" It's a familiar sound
to The Produce Company
force. Joe has a black kitten
he feeds fresh meat three
times a day with plenty of
milk between meals. 1t is not
an unusual sight to see Joe, in
spare moments trying to train
his kitten to sit up, walk on
its hind feet or stand on it's
head. Joe says he is fond of
animals and believes eventu-
ally he will go in the business
of training kittens. If you
want to get on the good side
of him just mention kittens
and then let him do the.

FertiliZe
Strawberry Beds

To insure big crop of Berries
next year, you must have a vigor-
GUS vine growth this summer and
fall, thus insuring an abundance Of
fruit crowns. This is only possible
thru the use of liberal quantities
Of fertilizers. Now is the time to
apply for best results.
Regular use of fertilizers means
much larger crops and long lived
beds. The successful growers are.
those who use the most fertilizers.
We believe that our Winner Brand
3-10-1 is the best fertilizer, for the
price, that is available.

Editors and U. S. Bonds.

Missouri editors in attendance at
the 54th annual convention of the
Missouri Press Association, whom the
editor of the Savings Herald had the
pleasure of meeting, spoke kindly OF
the work the Savings Division of the
Treasury Department was doing in
endeavoring to stabilize the Liberty
Bond and Victory Note market, anG
to keep interest aroused in the Other
United States securities issued on the
market.
DR.. Henry M. Whelpley, editor oi
Meyer Brothers Druggist, one of the
most influential trade papers in the
United States, was keenly alive tt
the situation.
"Never month elapses," said DR.
Whelpley, "that / do not use some o.

Fall Army Worm Injuries Crops.

Numerous complaints are being
received by the University Of Mis-
souri, College of Agriculture regard
ing Army Worms on various crops.
The pest is not the real army worm,
which is often 80 destructive in June,
according to L. Haseman, but the fall
army worm. 1t appears in destruc-
tive numbers only In the fall.
The pest is dark caterpillar with
light stripes running lengthwise along
either side. In central Missouri the
worms were about half grown on
September 10 and in two more weeks
will probably have largely completed
their heavy feeding.
Grass, young alfalfa, cane, late corn
and other crops are being most
heavily damaged. In some cases the
worms tend to migrate, tho as a rule
they do not migrate so readily IS the
real army worm. Where migrsgs-
tion occurs or where the crop will
permit weighted brush or drag may
be used to kill the pest, or ditch
trap may be established. However,
since the pest usually does not migrate
extensively the poison bran bait used
for the true army worm is the most
effective remedy. 1t is prepared by
mixing dry 80 pounds of bran and 2
pounds of white arsenic or Paris
Green and then moistening this with
about gallons of water to which A
quarts of cheap molasses and the juice
and chopped up rinds of 6 lemons
have been added. Sow this broad
cast over fields where the pest is
working or sow it in stripsin advance
of the worms where they are moving.
This is more effective and much
cheaper than to spray the crop with
an arsenical solution. Where parasit-
ic flies are laying eggs on the worms
they will help to reduce the number
of worms and injury.

every cent can possibly spare into
the Liberty Bonds that the unwise
eare now selling below par. am buy
ing Bonds of the Fourth issue, which
are now quoted around 85, and when
they draw interest at ID per cent
on the par value I know I am making
as good an investment as it is posi-
ble,"
Walter Williams, Dean of the school
of Journalism of the State University
at Columbia, is also vastly interested
in the financial situation.
"Just how people can doubt the
value of the bonds issued by the
United States Government is beyond
my ken," said Mr.. Williams. "But I
do know that the bonds are SELL
ing below par, and the thoughtless
are apparently losing faith in their
government. Why is there any need
of telling the public that U. s. bonds
are the best investment on earth is
beyond me, but I realize the necessity
of the campaign being conducted by
the Treasury Department"
Many of the editors deplored the
fact that the scarcely of paper and of
labor made it impossible for them to
print as much of the information on
the U. S. Bond situation as the y
would like.

From The State Committee.

The Women's State Committee is
getting its work we'll under way at
the Democratic Headquarters, sO1
Pontiac Building, st. Louis, where
Mrs. J. w. Mcknight, State Chair
man, and Mrs. Kate S. Morrow, State

They plan to have women organizers

tions should be scrapped simply be-
cause Woodrow Wilson assisted in its
framing and that substitute covenant
should be adopted. Here are Mrs.
Moore's words:
'sThere are no sufficient reasons
why the present covenant should not
be adopted, with reservations max
ing the position of America clear,
and there are great many reasons
why other countries would not agree
to dispense with the GOV enant in or
der to accept Mr.. Harding's new
league"
"The peace structure has been
built up with too much patient care to
permit its being readily torn down to
make way for some entirely new
edifice which has as yet nobody's
complete approval"
Mrs. Moore is correct. The world
has had other examples of partisan
ship amuck but never such a terrible
example. Never before has America
been betrayed by a group of men in
high political positions perfectly will
ing to see America dishonored rather
than agree to a covenant which was
not framed by man of their own po-
litical breed. Mrs. Moore sounds fair
warning that women will not tolerate
such biased partisanship:
"Unless he Senator Hardihg)
modifies that attitude and declares
himself ready to accept the League
principle, it will be impossible for
10000, 1000 women represented in the
National Council, pledged as they are
to the League, to support him."
And Mrs. Moore, remember Is a
Republican.
Biased followers of Senator Hard
ing will find scant consolation in her
words.

Samuel Smiley's Sayings.

Question. What do think of Gov
ernor Coke exposure of the Repub-
lican scheme for a $15,OOO,OOO cam
paign fund?
Answer. Well, sir, it looks as if
the party had revised Lincoln's ia
nous saying by leaving out a "gov-
ernment of the people, for the peo-
ple," and going it alone on a govern
ment of buy the people.
think they might revise another
saying of Lincoln's to the effect that
while "you can fool all the people
some of the time" you can't buy all
the people any of the time.
While Governor Cox presented the
documentary proof which amounted
to written confession by the Repub
lioan financiers, do not know wheth-
or or not he was the first to get hold
of it, especially that letter of instruc-
tion to collectors. "Boys, get the
money" ! would not be surprised to
hear that an advance copy of that fell
into the hands of the Hon. William
Barnes, Jr.
In any event, he was the first OF
tie Old Guard to return to "nor-
malcy."
Republican Treasurer Upham says
that Governor Cox's figures are only
quotas and that the Governor doesn't
know the difference between quota
and budget. think he does, and
think everybodyelse does-it's graft.
Chairman Hays says the financial
plan of his party is based on the Red
Cross plan. Bill Barnes must have
known this in advance, too. Before
the Republican national army took
the field, Barnes was out getting first
aid.
In calling his plan the Red Cross
plan, I trust that Chairman Hays
hasn't forgotten that all the Red
Gross quotas were filled. Ihear that
Boston will exceed its quota two and
half times, and out in Sagebrush,
Ariz., and DEVILS Hole, Idaho, the
boys who want to get back to "nor-
malcy" are digging. Out there they
think that "normalcy" means the old
price, two for quarter.
Speaking of Boston reminds me Of
that local financial genius who start
ed out with budget and quota.
His budget was what came in and his
quota was the the sky.
In one way feel sorry for Ponzi.
He started too soon and in the wrong
game. He might have had grand
political career as financial director of
"the party of great moral ideas"
Under the Harding Old Guard plan
for Syndicated Presidency, he would
make a fine candidate for Secretary
of the Treasury. If the "Big Inter-
ests" could break up the Federal Re-
serve Bank act, I believe they would
be liberal and be satisfied with 80 per
cent.
Poor Ponzi! He was only piker,
but of course he couldn't know what
kind of competition he was going to
have. He probably knows by this
time, however, that he didn't get all
