FARMERS LOSE MORE THAN
WARTIME PRICE GAINS

Beef cattle on farms lost an average
value per head from January l, 1919,
to January /, 1921, all that they gain
ed during the participation of the
United States in the world war and
more than half as much again, &C
~cording to the bureau of crop esti-
mates of the United States department
of agriculture. The loss occurred
mostly in 1920. This has been estaS-
annual investigation Of prices of farm
animals per head made by the bu-
reau. The average price per head, all
ages, of cattle other than milk cows
was 1852 in 1917, s4422 in 1919, and
31.41 in 1921. On January I, last year,
the farm price was $4.51 below that of
1917, some months before this coun-
try declared war.
In the case of swine on farms. the
average price per head, all ages, de-
clined in the two years 1919 and 1924
SO per cent of the gain in 1917 and
1913, and two-thirds of the decline
was in 1920
From 1916 to 1919, are average farm
value of the product Of corn per acre
increased from s2167 to s3S54 The
corn crop of 1920, taking the average
value Of the product of one acre. fell
TO S20.93, and this drop not only wiped
out the gain of the preceding three
years but perceptibly exceeded 1t. The
commonly used percentage of decline
since the break in price began, fails to
discover this fact, because a percect-
7 age of decline from a higher number
is not comparable with a percentage
or gain during the preceding years.
which is based on a comparatively
low number

Have You Piles q?
Then You Have Something TO Learn.

Thousands who have piles have not
learned that quick and permanent relief
can only be accomplished with internal
medicine. Neither cutting nor any
amount of treatment with ointments and
suppOsitories will remove the cause.
Bad circulation causes piles. There is
complete stagnation of blood in the
lower bowel and a weakening of the parts.
DIR. !. S. Leonhardt was first to find the
remedy. His prescription is HFlM-ROID,
a tablet medicine, taken internally that is
now sold by druggists generally. DIR.
Leonhardt tried it in 1000 cases with the
marvellous record of success in % per
cent and then decided it should be sold
