VALUE OF COUNTY AGENTS

Those farmers are indeed fortunate
who have available the services of a
good county agricultural agent. There
are few counties in Wisconsin in which
a county agent cannot render service
which offsets many times it's cost. We
would probably be safe in saying that
there is not a single county where a
county agent is employed that does not
get more than value received for the
money that is spent in maintaining the
with enc of these public service men
is enough to convince one of the worth

CITY MAN TURNS FARMER
Former Feed Store Clerk is Making a
Good Start on Suburban
Home

Harvey Sugg, who was the genial
clerk and delivery-man in the Morgan
feed store here for several years, is
now living on a fine 120-acre piece of
land just northwest of the city limits
He bought this place in March and re-
fused a substantial raise for it before
he moved onto it May Sth Mr.. Sugg
has built house 24x24, with two
rooms upstairs and four on the first
floor. Also a shed, 24X40, and a
chicken shed. None of these build
ings are complete, but they are well To-
Gated and arranged and will be sub
stantial when finished
There are % acres of wild meadow
with no stone that Mr.. Sugg will
drain, pillow and seed to alsike and tim
othy. The land on the north forty
where the buildings are is nearly level
with a good slope to the west. This
forty has good fall so can be drained
easily. 1t is fenced for cow pasture
and seven COWS are MIXED which
bring $3.50 per month as it is sold to
private customers in this city.
Mr. Sugg has rented the cleared land
on the Jim Miller farm. a mile west of
his land. and has good crops growing
here as follows: Three acres of pOta-
toes, one of sugar beets, two of Japan
use millet and twelve acres of hay. He
also has five acres of other hay land
rented.
A good, big team is kept to do the
farm work and hauling.
The whole family like farm life much

THE AMERICAN DOLLAR
STILL WORTH 100 CENTS

One thing that will be of great bene-
fit in relieving the present financial
situation is the fact that the currency
ed as to its value. While il is true that
it won't buy over 80 cents worth of
many things it would before the war,
yet it is the only money in the world
today that is considered to be worth
face value.
Following all wars comes Il period
of adjustment and money usually de-
preciateS rapidly. This is due to recll-
less spending and extravaganza during
the war. People make strenuous OBJ
jecti0nS to the prices Of necessities
of life. but buy high-priced Injuries
far beyond their means and pay the
eXOrbitant prices asked. often giving
their notes in part or full payment
These notes are now coming due, and
as this condition makes money tight.
the squeeze comes on all at the same
time. Being unable to collect as usual
makes banks short of money.
Prices Of wool, hides and livestock
have not been sufficient to pay loans
made OH them, thus creating another
shortage of money in the farming and
livestock sections. The reason these
necessities of life are low in price is due
to the fact that spectators have been
boarding them. and when the crash
came found them with millions of dol
lars worth of raw material on their
hands. We have no sympathy for the
boarding spectators and regret the
fact that the farmer must suffer losses
now on what he has to sell, after
being held mp for what he had to buy
during the war. and for which. in many
cases. he still owes. which also adds to
the present financial depression.
America should take an optimistic
view of the situation and keep busy.
Some financierS predict that this de
preston Will last for five years. The
writer is inclined to believe that one
year will see things on normal and
satisfactory basis. though we confess
that our Judgment is more apt to be
faulty than the men who are predict
ing the longer period. Everyone should
expect to take losses and regulate their
expenditures accordingly.

Send Proposal to Russian Soviet

Poland Pledged Help of Allies II 1t Re.
tires Within Its Own Frontiers
--Parleys Asked of Soviet
Russia.

Spa, Belgium-The Allies have sent
a proposal to the Russian soviet gov
eminent for an armistice with Poland
On condition that the Poles retire
within their natural Polish frontier.
1t is set forth that the armistice will
be followed by a conference OF repre-
sentatives of all the countries on the
Russian border, and that, if the Boil
sheviki attack the Poles within these
frontiers, the Allies will come to the
aid of Poland.
Poland Appeals to Allies.
The text of the Polish note to the
Allies concerning peace with the Mos
COW government, was received by tele-
graph.
The decision of the Polish govern
ment to appeal to the Spa conference
for moral and material help in the
fight against the BOlsheviki comes as
a climax to task extending over
many months in securing ammunition
held up in London by the refusal of
working men to load the ships, and by
Withholding of other shipments by the
CzechS, it is declared, in retaliation
for the disagreement over the Teschen
district plebiscite.
1t is charged by the Poles that the
Czechs delayed Indefinitely train of
SO cars Of ammunition for which Po-
land had urgent need just prior to the
BOlshevik attack. Austria is also said
to have been hindering shipments,
holding that they were contrary to the
Peace treaty.
1t has been a common prediction for
months in various circles that unless
ammunition was forthcoming the Poles
would be forced to withdraw before
the inevitable summer attack by the
Bolsheviki

What The Perfection Did

Perfection Milks Natures Way"
ART RUTHERFORD


Perfection is the mixer that's called
oNature's Way. Handwriting isn't Ma
lures Way-Natures Way is like the Calf
Perfection's way is Natures Way. The action
on the cows teats is first gentle suction
followed by a downward squeeze and then
a complete release from suction, That is
why cows like it and give down their milk
more freely. If you don't think the Perfec-
ton milks like the calf, let calf suck your
finger few minutes and then put your finger
inside the Perfection Teat Cup; you will agree
that the Perfection and the calf are just alike.
Let Us Demonstrate 1t -
The Perfection Mixer has done good
turn by bringing us many satisfied customers
and now we want you to get acquainted with
Perfection and let it help you.
Drop in sometime and let us explain to
you Just how the Perfection works and how
by saving time and labor, it will increase
your profits.
