MILK cows
Utilize Cheap Corn and Hay to Ad.
vantage

A number of Hand County farmers
will find IL to their interest to pur-
chase a few good milk cows and utilize
to good advantage the farm products
which ian not now be probably mar
keted. The price of butter fat has not
dropped with other products. By feed
ing CSC q bushel corn to a few of the
right kind of milk cows, approximate
ly $500 a bushel can be realized out
of the corn.
There are many in Hand County
who will find it profitable TO do some
thing like this in order to carry over.
The milk COW has pulled many men
cut in the past and is ready to do so
again.
The Farm Bureau is in position TO
put any one wishing good milk cows,
in direct touch with owners of desir-
able cattle. Financial conditions
abroad has temporarily destroyed the
condensed milk market and many WIS
consin farmers who we're producing
large quantities Of whole milk for
condenseries, suddenly find their mar
ket cut off. These men have cows
bred for production and wish to cut
down their herds. 1t is a good oppcr-
tunity to get, at reasonable prices, a
splendid quality of high grade dairy
cattle. Most of these are not pure
bred or registered cattle.
Any one wishing a few cows should
get in touch with the County Agent.
One carload shipment is being planned
now.

County Agent.

Newly WEEDS Must File
Joint Tax Blank; Incomes
of Both are Counted

While it is generally UNDERSTOOD
that a married person Is granted
$1,000 exemption in regard to income
tax. numerous inquiries are made by
persons married during the year 1919
as to tax liability and what income
should be reported.
The main question is whether they
are entitled to claim the full $1,000 ex-
emption if married only part OF the
year. AS the status of a TAXPAYER Is
determined on Dec. 81 for the entire
year, a person married at any time
during the year would be entitled to
the full exemption.
Another puzzling point is whether
in the case of a newly married couple
the brides income should be shown
in the Underground return. Accord

the Catholic churches, as well as the

1t is coming to be noticed more and
more by he various Protestant bodies
In the Orthodox church and in all
branches of eastern Christiandom, in
the Roman Catholic, and in the Angli'

observed by special acts of penitence
in the form of abstinence and by with
drawing from "the world" to the con
temptation of things spiritual.
Pleasures of the flesh are foregone
for the decipline of the spirit. Spirit
ual exercises are increased, and the
time usually given to the pursuit Of
entertainment is used to improve the
soul, if not the mind.
The churches have announced the
program of services and the rules o

originated in the imitation of ou

The Farm and The Farmer
~ WILLIAM r. sANeoRN

/. Just at the moment we know of no
new deals for farm or city realty
being arranged.
AS to tobacco, some of the old 1918
crop seems to be moving at from 20 to
% cents per pound for the finest. The
tendency seems to promise a reduce ed
tobacco acreage below that of 1919,
which showed a cut from the previous
year. Scarcity of labor and high cost
of material are affecting the outlook
for new buildings here this season.
Mr.. Pence Of New Paris.
M. H. PENCE, cashier of the First
National, at New Paris-Farms are
still being sold in this vicinity. F. H
Goble sold his large farm recently
and the Robert Roller farm, which was
sold last fall, was sold again not Iona
since, and We believe at an advanced
price. So far as our bank is Informed
there is no talk of reducing acreage
except as lack of labor may make that
necessary in special cases.
The Farmers Equity Exchange folks
are going ahead with the remodelins
of the old Barnett warehouse and will
add fireproof sectional round elevators
as fast as labor and material can be
obtained. when the building season
opens. Retailers are not complaining
and our line of deposits speaks for the
prosperity of our depositors, both il
town and country.
| JOHN NOAKES, manager of Tho
Farmers Equity Exchange, at New
Paris, endorsed the statements made
by Mr. Pence with reference to thei
plans. The exchange is incorporated
for $4,000.

With the view of ascertaining wheth-
er the recent insistent demand for
farm lands is being still maintained
at firm prices; whether country town
real estate is moving and as to the
extent of building operations planned
for the coming spring and summer in
towns in Wayne and adjoining coun-
ties. the following brief interviews
with country bankers were obtained.
Incidentally, the question of a possible
reduction of farm crop acreage, be-
cause of lack of labor, or for any
other reason, was also touched upon.
The consensus of opinion so far OBJ
tanned favors the planting of the usual
acreage and in the usual rotation, with
the exception of that of tobacco. Some
holders of Ohio tobacco, men having
the bulk of the last two crops on hand,
are inclined to cut the tobacco acreage,
and in some instances will drop to-
| bacco entirely, substituting some crop
promising greater certainty of profit
at less labor cost and risk of crop
failure. Labor in the tobacco fields
comes high, must be capable and is
very scarce, as was the condition in
1919. In addition to this is the fact
that tobacco is a embarrassing crop
and needs lot of expensive fertilizer
at best.
Views Of Camden Banker.
]. f. RANDELL., Cashier of the First
National at Camden, Ohio.-So far as
we are advised no farms are changing
hands in this vicinity at present
While there seems to be no reductions
made in the price of farm lands OF
late, the demand seems to have halted
recently, possibly because SO many
transfers will be completed on March
I, and because all new leases made
will be effective on that date. So fal
as we know, our farmers are planning
to farm as usual to the limit of theil
ability to handle crops, except thai
the tobacco acreage will be cut III
some instances.
Some poor 1919 tobacco crops in the
Camden district have been cleaned ou
at as low figure as cents per pound
this for inferior grades in poor condi
ton. The comparatively small amour
of tobacco grown near Camden ha:
been nearly all disposed of. Retail
business is good and deposits show
that the farmers are prosperous.
Mr.. MusseIman, of Eaton.

of the Eaton National-Not man.

MENTAL WORK

Great Mistake to Imagine You Can
Work Better and Faster on the
Starvation Plan. Eat What

Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
Mental work uses up energy fast.
And energy comes from food. To
eat little or nothing in order to do
more work is fallacy that has Gre
ated an army of dyspepics. A better
plan is to eat the regular portions of
food such as make up the average
meal and follow each meal and follow
each meal with Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
You will then get q double benefit
energy from food and sociability with
meals, for as rule. the light eater.
or those who skip meals, get into a
bad habit, a rut, of hermit-like isola-
ton. Do not be afraid of gassiness,
sour stomach. heartburn. heavy feeling
or coated tongue after meals. Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets arouse the stomach
to secrete the juices necessary to re-
lieve these troubles that SO frequent
ly distress the mental worker. They
contain harmless ingredients which
act with an alkaline effect, so you may
eat the rich things of the banquet or
the savory sausage for breakfast with
utmost freedom.
Get a 5O-cent box of Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets at any drug store, eat
freely of what you like and you will
do more and better work than on a
skinny diet. Try this plan.-Adver-
