 The poster which was written by H. M. Cottrell, agriculturst of the bureau, reads as follows:
 Frank Martin joined a boys cot ton club and planted two acres to cotton in the center of his fathers field. He applied .9o pounds of fer tilizer to the acre. His father insist ed that using fertilizer was throwing money away as it would not increase the yield and the money that it cost would be wasted
 Frank produced 921 pounds of lint on the two acres. The lint brought him $350 and the seed SS175, a total of SALTS.
 "His father averaged one-fourth of bale per acre. The fathers lint and seed brought $56.56 an acre; the boys $205S7.The son spent $46S an acre for fertilizer and his crop was worth $153.31 more an acre than his fathers on which no fertilizer was used.
 Are you going to be like son or like dad?'

DIDN'T HAVE A WELL

San Francisco Woman Has Gained Thirty Pounds By Taking
 Tanlac.

T had not seen a well day in twenty five years until I started taking Tan- lac" said Mrs. Virginia Stapp, of 1855 Valentine St., San Francisco, Cal
 "I was beginning to think she con- tinued that I would have to bear my wretched health as long as lived. I had no appetite, and when I managed to eat few bites I could not digest it and as I could get no strength or nourishment I fell off twenty-five pounds in weight. I hardly knew what it was to be without headache. All my life have been so constipated that every day for years I had to take laxative. My tongue was always coat ed and l had bad taste in my mouth all the time. My condition was so bad that I could get little sleep, but would roll and toss about all night long.
 But all that is changed now. for since taking Tanlac am able to eat anything I please without any bad af- 1ei eiie't aiiu nave acludlly Saineu thirty pounds. I havn't had a head ache in so long I have almost forgot ten about them. My constipated con- dition has been relieved and I never have that bad taste or coated tongue any more. I sleep nine to ten hours every night and can do my housework with ease and have so much new life and energy that I feel fine all the time Tanlac is sold by all druggists.

announcement that the President will
not be a candidate is satisfactory is
Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer
The Palmer machine is working very
smoothly, despite failure of tho Presi-
dent to remove himself from the race.
He Is the only candidate In the Cabi-
net, so far as any substantial political
following is concerned, and therefore
the only candidate with any amount of
national patronage.
In addition to having large amount
Of patronage, which politicians say Mr..
Palmer has been using very judiciously
in getting Palmer-for-P men
put in important positions in virtually
every state, Mr.. Palmer seems to have
considerably the best of it in Demo
cratic National Committee headquar-
ters here.
Friends of William G. McAdoo are
particularly concerned over what they
New-York tribune., 1920-01-01

regard as the favoritism being dis
played by tho National Committee.
Vice-President Marshall was recently
appealed to by some prominent hackers
Of Mr.. McAdoo to join them in pro-
test to Homer S. Cummings, chairman
OF the National Committee. The Vice
President, it is learned, promised to
take 1t up.
Cummings Denies Favoritism
Mr.. Cummings to-day denied that
Vice-President Marshall had offered to
submit any documentary proof" as
had been alleged. He also denied that
Bernard NJ. Baruch and Thomas M.
Chadbourne had served any notice on
the committee with regard to the al
legged discrimination in favor of
Palmer, and that friends of Champ
Clark were finding fault on the same
point.
IT'S all bunk" Mr.. Cummings said.
AS matter of fact, friends of almost
every candidate in the Democratic
party except Mr.. Palmer have been ir-
ritated by what they believe to be par
tiality for Mr.. Palmer in the National
Committee headquarters.
A strong supporter of Vice Presi
dent Marshall said tonight he believed
this -partiality was due to the influence

Tumulty Is Against Him
Nebraskan's Friends Say He
Stands a Good Chance to
Carry the Empire State

William J. Bryan. three times Presi- |
dential candidate Of the Democratic |
party and three times defeated, is
sending orders along the lines to his
lieutenants in a way to make the heads
Of the McAdoo and Palmer men swim.
Colonel Bryan has made it plain to
his friends both East and West that
Attorney General Palmer is the man
to beat, and the Bryan men who are
"springing out of the grass" are train
ing their guns on Mr.. Palmer.
The friends of Mr.. Bryan have dis
covered that Joseph P. Tumulty, the
Presidents secretary, is working for
the Attorney General, and that the
Jackson dinner in Washington on Jan
uary is to be a Palmer rally. In
order to make it SO, the friends of
Colonel Bryan said Yesterday that for
mer Secretary McAdoo has decided to
stay away from the dinner. Mr.. Tum-
ulty, it is charged, has commandeered
the greater portion of the dinner
tickets in the interest of Mr.. Palmer,
leaving the Bryan men "outside the
breastworks."
Another Jackson Dinner
AS counter offensive the Bryan
men yesterday made plans for another
Jackson dinner in Washington on the
same night with Mr. Bryan as the
speaker Harry W. Walker, Bryan's
old lieutenant in New York, returned
Yesterday from trip upstate, and
when asked what he had discovered,
said:
81 found that the Brady traction and
lighting interests, which practically
chine are busy all over the state in
the interests of Attorney General
Palmer. They are openly working for
him, apparently having been tipped off
from Washington that he is the one
best bet
"The western part of the state is
favorably impre ssed with the candi-
dacy of James ". Gerard, former Am
bassador to Germany. Unless the
Murphy machine gets strangle hold
on the delegation from this state,
Judge Gerard will have many of the
delegates"
County Clerk William F. Schneider,
who took leading part in beating the
Tammany ticket last November, said
that with a clean cut issue between
Charles +. Murphy and William J.
Bryan in the primaries, the Bryan men
would capture half the delegates in
this city and moro than half of those
from up state
Frank H. Warder, secretary of the
Bryan League, said: There are so
many Of Colonel Bryan's friends going
to Washington on January s to witness
the great come back of the Commoner
that but a small percentage of them
will be able to secure tickets to the
banquet to be held by the national
committee in honor of Jackson's birth
day.
Opposition Banquet
Hence arrangements are being made
to have an additional banquet which
will be addressed by Colonel Bryan be-
fore he speaks at the Jackson dinner
There is q precedent for this. At the

Change VIII Be
Made In Mutual .
Telephone Co.

A radical change will be made in
the Laddonia- Rush Hill-Mexico Mu-
tual Telephone Company at meeting
# the stockholders Tuesday, Septem-
Der 7. Realizing that the line has
fallen into decay, and the its financial
condition is in bad shape, the stock
holders have decided that a change
must be made in its management.
Some of the stockholders are in
ufavor ofturning the line over to the
Bell Telephone Company. They claim
that the Bell Company can operate
the system more efficiently and at
less expense to the patrons.
A few of the stockholders advocate
rebuilding the line, and reorganizing
its management. Another plan is to
turn over the management of the en-
tire system TO a single man.
At the meeting, which is to be held
in Rush Hill, course of action will
be decided upon. The present officers
of the company are: PresidentA Phillip
Shire; vice-president, ]. R. Shook;
