A Paying Investment

Good advertising is the cheapest
salesman the merchant can employ.
Advertising is not an expense, it is
an asset Good advertising is a pay
ing investment, about the best pay
ing investment the merchant has or
can make. The best advertising is
not the hand bill or window full of
posters nor half sheets pasted on the
barns. Men who devote their lives
to the science of publicity-to the
study of advertising the when, how,
where, of the art are worthy Of your
heed if you are a merchant, if you
are a dealer or trader.
Recognized authority, on the sub
ject of advertising, has long since
decided that the Weekly Newspaper

daily paper, but who are regular
readers of the daily also read the
weekly The weekly is considered by
expert advertisers to be the most
perfect advertising medium in the
world for the reason that it has a
more intimate association with the
family than any magazine or any
daily could possibly have. The good
weekly newspaper becomes a part Of

COUNTY AGENT NOTES
Feeding for Eggs

There is no question but that just
as proper feeding of the dairy cow
is an important factor in milk pro-
ductino so is also the feeding of hens
an important factor in egg produc-
dUction. A dairyman knows well
that the milking cow is producing
only half of what she might when
fed an unbalanced ration. A good
feeding dairyman will supply his cat
tie with we'll mixed balanced ration
consisting of silage, good hay, and a
grain mixture. Put, on the average
farm, are hens fed properly or are
they slighted? Hens will respond
to proper feeding more so than win
dairy COW.
Part of the daily feed should be a
scratch mixture made up of home
grown grains if possible, such as
cracked corn, wheat, oats and barley.
Besides this, it is necessary to supply
mash either dry or damp but not
sloppy, consisting of corn meal, bran,
or middlings, and some high protein
feed preferably meat scrap. Where
skim milk or butter milk is avail
able it may be used to replace part
or all of the meat scrap. Feeds such
as cotton seed meal or oil meal, al
though high in protein, will not take
the place of meat scrap or skim
milk.

Bill Makes Pension Fact

A bill to put the teachers retire
ment fund on solid basis has been
introduced. The full provisions of
bill are not yet available as we go to
press but the purport of the bill is to
make the retirement fund a real in
surance in fact as well as in name.
that it may give the good teachers
who devote their lives to- teaching a
sense of security about old age. The
state will put more into the fund
than will the teachers. The teachers
leaving the profession can get all
their money back at 4 per cent COM
pound interest. One teachers money
will not be used to pay the pensions
of other teachers. No teacher under
the age of twenty-five will contribute
money. 1t is thought by all that this
bill, if made into law, will be as
fair and just as any in the country.

many companies, which have come
to appreciate that waste and heavy

DEFENDS HIGH HEELS.

LONDON-Men would do well to follow women's much maligned fash ion and wear high heels. according to pr. w. H. Trethowsn, specialist in the hygiene of dress. The most important measure in giving relief in cases of weak or overtsrained feet he told a public lecture audience at the British Institute of Hygiene. is to raise the height of the heels and not to lower 1t as Is usually recom- mended. Women's persistence. in spite of all attacks on high heel fash ions, has proved to be a sound in- | stinct, he said
 | Tt is a universal and traditional idea that the majority of the trou- | bles occurring in the feet show that | the strain on the long arch must les son in proportion as the heel is rais- | ed, and this is the experience of the | vast majority of women in spite oi medical advice to the contrary.
 While it is true" he said. ''thai some women wear high heels fol | purely cosmetic reasons, it is cer
 tain that the majority of the womer | wear high heels as a response to thu
 relief afforded to the fragments O
 the foot Women, being hampered b.
 skirts, cannot get as much freedom
 of movement in the hips as men an,
 it may be from this cause that wom

 forded by heels. The action of tn

 as in women, as men propel them

BIG REDUCTION IN ACREAGE INDICATES SMALL LCOTTONCRO

The official report of the American Cotton association on acreage reduc- ton has been received by the Ari- zona division. the Arizona American Egyptian Cotton Growers associa- ton. and indicates a very heavy re- duction in the probable crop for this year. shown by the report Is 6.762.s6& bales. which will probably be materially re- duced by abandoned acreage. and if the season continues wet. further re- duced by the boil weevil and boil worm
 The total acreage planted was a. 563.466 acres. Based on the 1920 yield. this indicates a crop of 9.i42.- oes bales
 Deducting 12 per cent additional as a result of the reduction of 5l-17 per cent fin use and grade of com mercial fertilizer for 1921, indicates a crop of T.55s,3s5 bales
 Allowing a deduction of <2.73 per cent on account of acreage re6uc- ton and reduction fertilizers and add ing <-s5 per cent for abandoned acre l age planted this year. making a total of <7-6s per cent reduction. indicates the production. stiii passing 1t on the 1920 yield. of s.eo5.o75 bales With the reduction applied to the average yield for the past five years the probable crop Will be s.7s2.s<. bales This. will probably be materi. ally reduced further by further
