IholiioiO, 4NCW Int
TT feel it my duty to tell you what
sFruit-a-tives' or Fruit Liver Tablets
did for me.
l tried several kinds of physic for
over three years i, and, of course,
while I took it every night my bowels
would move; but as soon as l stopped
taking physic, I would be constipated
and would have Piles terribly.
Heard Of Fruit.a-t and bought
one box and took them. Now I
am not troubled any more with
Constipation and no moro Piles.
'Fruit-a-tives' did for me what no
other medicine ever did they left
no after.effects, and now do not
have to use physic.
I recommend 'Fruit-a-tives' to all
my friends''.

Mexico weekly ledger., 1920-03-25

The cry for farm labor which is now
being heard in almost all parts of the
United States is being voiced no less
by Audrain County farmers than by
those in any of her neighboring coun-
ties. In spite of the fact that the in
experienced workmen can make higher
wages on the farm than he can, under
ordinary conditions, in town, there is
a decided tendency toward the cities
and towns, and the result is discour-
aging when viewed in the light Of
the farmer and those dependant upon
him.
A man in Mexico stated Friday that
he had heard within the last month as
many as twenty farmers say they had
been unable to get help for spring
work. One of the banks here which
maintains a little farm employment
agency reports that it has not been
able to supply laborers to any of the
men who have put in demands for
them land a large number have asked
to be supplied through the bank.
When asked what farm hands get
this year, some n replied, "Whatever
they ask" and in many instances this
seems not to be an exaggeration; for
a number of Audrain's most extensive
farmers would gladly pay more than
they ever have before, if the help Were
available.
AS a matter of fact, farm wages are
from $40 to $50 in this locality al
the present. Aside from a monetary

Appeal. To that end he makes some
veIy practical suggestions in the fol-
lowing letter:
Editor Paris Appeal,
Desr SIR
Your column on Pure Breeds was
interesting to me. It is only a 1ues-
ton of time until the majority Of
cattle, hogs and sheep will be pure
bred. High priced land compells il.
Pure breds are as essential to correct
farming as the Farm Agents. They
are both coming to, stay. But there
is one step to hasten this end that
could be easily handled in Monroe
couny. A boys calf club. The Short
HON breeders association would help
Us. There is also some money in the
County Association an ddues to come
in shortly. We should not have to go
in very deep to start with. We could
buy ten heifers at around 500, sell
the INTO the boys this spring and let
the boys feed them and show them this
fall and sell them in the Association
sale. l think we could raise $500 in
premium money, that is $40 a head.
There are also two good banks in
Paris whose prosperity depends great
ly on the farmer and stockman. How
far they will go or how far they can
see ahead l do not know. AS a stock
man l will pledge the price of n
heifer or Ito of ten or in other words
I will sign an agreement to see tiat
10 of ten heads of heifers can lie
paid for and sold to the boys, and
we, teh ten, take the boys notes until
calves are sold in the fall.
