wish to take this method of thanking my many frlneds among the farmers, the farm CT boys and girls, the profes- sional and business men Of Monroe county for their hearty cooperation extended to the Farm Demonstration Work as conducted in Monroe Coun- ty for the past year.

 The aid you have given me makes me want to strive to do greater things for this the best county in Arkansas, yes in the Southland. 1 am only a man, vain as any of the rest, and your encouragement spurs me on to bigger things than before.
 Wishing each and every one of you a happy and prosper ous New Year as never before, I am,

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

Dear Boys and Girls:
 It is with pleasure that 1 am again to work with you for 1920. I know that you are planning great things for this year. Altho' the bad weather prevented us from having a county fair this last year we will not give up but strive to do our best this year to make the biggest, best show ever.
 Now is the time to plan your work. If you are to grow a pig write me at once and tell whether you have pig or not and if you want me to help you get one. Find out from father or mother about the feed and pasture for the pig. If you have a SOW, look carefully to her feed, shelter and keep the lice off. If a corn, cotton, peanut or other crop club you are planning to join select your acre at once and plan to have the fertilizer hauled out on it the first pret- ty day Get it broken as soon as the ground is dry enough. Get your seed ready. Test them.
 You girls in the tomato club should plan now to arrange for having your 1-10th acre fertilized and broken as soon as dry enough. Poultry Club members should locate good eggs for matching or buy their pen of chickens.

 The walnut trees seemed to under stand that it was necessary for boy to make a little more money than usual that fall, for the trees were laden and walnuts were never higher in price Minks, muskrats and skunks were not inclined to walk obligingly into traps, but a good many of them got tangled up on the steel jaws of Victor and Newhouse before the trap ping season was many weeks old.
 With one thing and another the youngster who had set out to collect himself some eBaby Bonds" and some Baby Beef found hl.aseH in posses sion of about fourteen or fifteen of the Bonds" by December Is. It had been hard struggle and took q good deal of self denial, but there the w. S. s. were, all tucked away in the old tin box.
 A day or so later, his mothers broth CT, red-faced, brown-handed citizen of Wyoming, made the pilgrimage "back home" He had been growing Shorthorn beef out on the ranges and he loved, above all things, to talk beef. particularly Shorthorn beef. In Bob he found kindred soul He soon gave up Bob's father as sort of hopeless case, but he and the boy put in lot of time together. It wasn't long, Of course, until he had got at the whole story of the 'babies," the bonds" and the beef"
 "Ill tell you, Bob," he said as they sat by the kitchen fireplace on Christ mas Eve. This bond and beef scheme you've got in your head is mighty nigh to all right It will be slow picking for you. But you keep hammering along now. My Christmas present to you this year, one of them, anyway. is going to be promise.
 You keep going with this plan of yours and I'll bach you in the beef end of the business. For every dollar that you will stick into the little bonds by next Christmas I'll put up two dollars. I've a hunch that you will have about enough by that time to make a start on the beef end of your little old scheme"

is to dissolve it, then to day by day COM

This method long seemed impossible.
Pepsin must be activated, and the usual

Film--the Chief Enemy

Film is that viscous coat which you feel
with your tongue. 1t clings to teeth,
enters crevices and stays. The tooth
brush does not end it. The ordinary
tooth paste does not dissolve it, So much
remains to cloud the teeth and it may do
a ceaseless damage.
Film is what discolors not the teeth,
It is the basis of tartar It holds food
substance which ferments and forms acid.
1t holds the acid in contact with the teeth
to cause decay.
Millions of germs breed in 1t. They,
with tartar, are the chief cause of pyor-
rhea. Thus well-brushed teeth, as mil
lions know, discolor and decay. And
serious tooth diseases are alarming in ex-
tent.
Science Now Combats 1t
These facts have long been known.
Dental science long has sought way to
daily fight film. But the only way seemed
periodic dental cleaning to remove the
film and tartar,
