was becoming one of the leading
institutions of its kind in the

Advertising Is Great Help
to Business Farmer

That farming, the biggest busi-
ness in the world, and advertising
the greatest selling force, need to
get together, was one of the points
brought out last week at the COM
munity newspaper conference held
in connection with Farmers week
at Cornell.
The farmer needs to do two
kinds of advertising, it was de-
clared. First, educational adver-
tlsing, the same sort that the meat
packers and the railway executives
are doing. The reason the city
man sometimes says that the farm
er is profiteering is because he
does not realize all the expenses
which go into the production of
food, plant or animal.
A farm publication was quoted
which advocates the creation of a
fund by an association of farmers
which shall be used for a national
campaign in the story of agricul-
ture.
'Take the city man into your
confidence" says this farm paper
to the farmer. "Tell him the Won
der story of production. 1t is a
wonderful story. In agriculture
you have the greatest romance of
all time Show him what it costs
to raise your bushel or peck of
onions. You have factors enter
ing into these costs which would
stagger a bank examiner"
The greatest part of the discus
sion was devoted to ways in which
farmers may advertise their own
products and thus get better mar
kets than when they sell through
the usual channels. It was de-
clared that every farmer adver-
tising is only telling what you
have to sell and showing why the
other man should buy it. When
a farmer says to a neighbor. "Say,
Bill, know anybody that wants a
couple of fine pigs? They are dan
dies"-that's advertising. So is

BELIEVES MOTHER
HOOD TO BE GREAT
EST PROFESSION
Roosevelt Warns Agains
Overstressing Economic
independence

At a recent conference of the
Long Island Community of wo.
mems clubs in New York, Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt, who is be.
ginning his Republican politica
career in the New York Assembly
stressed the need of women in
politics. "There is a necessity
now for women to assume the
burden of politics." he said. '"I
cannot emphasize this too much.
Politically, men and women ought
to be considered on the same basis,
and women elected to Office should
look upon themselves as represent
ing not women exclusively, but in
the same degree, that they repre-
sent men,"
Col. Roosevelt outlined briefly
his civic creed as no differentiation
between the sexes; the danger of
overriding the economic adjust
ment by educative rather than
legislative methods; the preven-
tion Of the rise of class distinc-
tion.
Col. Roosevelt believes that the
most wonderful profession in the
world and the most difficult, is the
profession of being a mother. He
says the mother has no eight hour
law. "The girl who works has
more money, probably, and not as
hard a job, as if she were married
and had children. Economic in
dependence is all right and neces-
sary, but we must not forget that
the home is the bulwark of the ma
tion and it's greatest strength"

The annual sick bill of 30,000,-
600 American wage earners is
$1,000, 1000.
The time clock of the nation
shows that each worker, through
sickness, loses an average of nine
days. This means that the work.
Ing time OF the nation is decreased
by more than $4,000 years.
Half of the billion-dollar sick
bill represents wages lost-sub-
tracted from the total of earnings
expected to finance the budgets of
millions of families. The other
half represents the bill for doc
tors, nurses and medicines. And
the total is twice the amount

Specialists Urge Use Of
Clover In Crop Rotation

From the Atlantic to Iowa and
from Tennessee to Canada clover
is the key crop in rotations but
there is a gradual though steady
decline in the culture of red clover
in this area. Specialists in the
Bureau of Plant Industry, United
States Department of Agriculture,
are seriously concerned over this
decline and urge all farmers to get
back to clover.
Less planting of clover has in
juriously affected the productive
ness of the region and is likely to
affect it still more injuriously if
something is not done either to in
crease the acreage of clover or to
find substitute.
whether a farmer adopts a
three, four, or five year rotation" I"
the specialists declare, "he is sure
to find that his yields will decline
if he does not have clover some
where in the rotation. Theoreti-
cally, of course, it is possible to
substitute another leguminous
crop for clover, but practically
clover fits so we'll into the agri-
cultural practices of this section
that it is the only leguminous crop
having any large degree of influ-
ence upon keeping up the produc-
tivity of the SOIL"

The Professor Covers A
Fire In Classic Style

By way of doing his bit to dig
nifty and purify the news of the
day a Northwestern University
professor submitted this story to
a Chicago paper:
"The conf1agration resulted
when an ignited cinder was waited
upward through the chimney, set
ting fire to one of the cedar shin
giles which covered my roof. The
fire department deserves great
credit for the intelligent manner
of its maneuvering.
"Piece by piece the furnishings
of the home were removed by gen.
erous neighbors, who considerate-
ly invited my family and myself
to dinner.
at would, indeed, be difficult to
estimate with exactness the dam
age of the fire ravages, but the
loss might at a conservative esti-
mate be placed at $500. The ma
jority of the material consumed
is susceptible of replacement. The
maids wearing apparel was con-
sumed in the confagration, but it
was costuming which can be re-
plenished. Some of my valuable
manuscripts, however, have been
destroyed and these cannot be du-
plicated.
wood ignites too readily.
Hereafter | shall have patented
shingles on the roof of my domi-
cile."
"1t seems that the professor had
fire at his house" was the la
comic editorial translation added
parenthetically.

On St. Patrick's Day
In The Morning

On st. Patrick's day in the
morning every Irish lassie pins a
spray of shamrock on her bosom
and sallies forth, not to look for
fairies any more, for who cares for
fairies when st. Patrick's Day and
springtime walk hand in hand ;
when love, romance, and adventure
may await them at every turn of
the road?
"For when the heart is young and
gay,
And when the times St. Patrick s
day,
Sure fairies then'd be in the way.
Newark post., 1920-03-17

The heart is ruled not by a.
mounts but by love. The lisp of
child is more to a mother than
the wealth of the world. The
whisper of affection is more to the
betrothed than the praises of the
multitude. Sentiment cannot be
eradicated from the heart. Life is
three-fourths sentiment, and with
out it there is really very little
worth living for-very little to
strive for with purpose and en-
thusiasm.

Supreme Court Decision
Will Save State 2la
Million A Year

Citizens of Delaware or those
Immediately connected with in
dustrial interests in that State
will save approximately S25.0OO,-
900 a year, in consequence of the
stock dividend decision of the
United States Supreme Court, ac-
cording to a rough estimate by a
responsible official of the Bureau
of Internal Revenue.
"The indu stries of Delaware
are so immense, and the income
derived from such industries is so
large, that the estimate | make
may be regarded as conservative"
said the official referred to. "Of
course, the figures l give will have
to be revised, but in my judgment
they are below instead of above
what will ultimately turn out to
be the truth.
1T may be years before the
sums paid by many cities on the
assumption that the law was con-
stitutionral will be refunded. To
obtain a refund it will be neces-
sary for Congress to make an ap-
preparation and in it's present
mood it will take a long time to
induce the law-making branch of
the government to provide the
necessary money to meet what
Supreme Court has decreed to be
a perfectly just obligation"

AS a result of the depletion of
our forests, industries dependent
upon wood are already going out
of business, with the inevitable
depressing influence on their To-
calities. Local exhaustion of the
forests is leaving great stretches
