FATHER FOUND TWO=YEAR=
OLD BOY VERY SICK
Was Thin No Appetite, Had Swollen Lips Stomach Pains,
Itching Nose.

A hardy woodsman and enthusiastic
fisherman, Joseph X. Lane of Lincoln,
Maine, has a very interesting record to
report. He writes: GAS a boy, thirty
seven years ago, | began to take Dr.
True's Elixir Once after six months
hauling logs, | came out of the woods and
found my two year-old boy very sick
He was thin, had no appetite, had swollen
lips, pains in stomach, an itching nose,
was suffering from constipation for
months.
81 had not been in the house an hour
when an elderly lady-a good neighbor-
came in and told my wife to get bottle
of DR.. True's Elixir, saying she had seen
numbers of similar cases which it had re-
lleved.
ssMy boy was given a half dozen doses
of Elixir when he passed lot of little
worms, and right away began to show
| improyement; he began soon to eat with
a relish, play around and look healthy
He did not have to take full bottle, and
in later years, whenever he got off his
feed, few doses would straighten him
out quick.
"When l get constipated, couple of
teaspoons of DR.. Irue's Elixir fix me

"My son is grown up now and has a
family of six children, and he has practi-
cally raised his family on DIR. True's
Elixir. The children 60 out and get hold
of something not good for them, and so
when they eat something and get sick,
the Elixir is given and the family is put
in good shape again.

dies, but you don't have to do this with

"Cover Crops'' Will Pay

In planning this years crops why not
plan for next year as well? By seeding
clover with the grain crop this spring the
crop grown on the ground next year may
be increased as much as so per cent, at
least such have been the results of sew
eral years work at the Central expert
mental farm at Ottawa, Canada.
AT tins station wheat, oats and barley
were seeded with and without clover; the
grain was harvested and the next spring
Fthe ground was plowed and oats, corn
and potatoes planted on each piece. In
each case the plot having the clover
seeding yielded an increase of from 10 to
rs per cent in oats, rs to 40 per cent in
corn, and 10 to IL per cent in potatoes
! Price conditions would certainly have to
be abnormal if such a practice were not
profitable because the only extra cost
was the clover seed, which could have
been seeded at the same time the grain
was drilled, with no extra labor.
| This is only one, through probably the
most economical way of making use of a
green manure crop for building up the
soil. By this method not only do we
;have the green plant material to pillow
under as green manure, but we get the
benefit of cover crop on the ground to
prevent teaching and erosion during the
season when no other crop is growing
! Other ways of taking advantage of the
. value OF green manures are seeding some
crop with the corn OF grain, to be plowed
under in the fall or spring; blowing under
the second crop of hay or rowen or grow
ing some rank crop, as buckwheat, sweet
clover or mammoth clover, for the sole
purpose of blowing under.
The two last methods, of course, are
more expensive ana the financial returns
may not warrant the practice. However,
with pieces of land not included in a good
rotation or not accessible for applications
OF barnyard manure; this is about the
only method of keeping up the fertility
and productivity of the soil. For not
only does the green manure add organic
matter, which is essential in keeping the
soil in good physical condition, but it also
brings plant food elements from the sub
soil and in the case of legumes adds large
quantities of nitrogen from the air.

HOPEFUL SIGNS OF INTEREST

Monday. the last day for payment OF poll
taxes with the privilege OF voting attached. gave
evidence OF community interest, in that the num-
Der OF citizens qualifying was unusually large.
This may be taken a an indication that the peo-
pie are determined to take part in naming officers
at the oneoming municipal election.
There is nothing to fear when the people 10
be represented by an official family turn out and
vote for such officers. The wisdom OF the peo-
pie as expressed through the untrammered bal
Iot is the safest of all safeguards for the gener
good. OF course. H. goes without saying, that
regardless OF the personnel OF the official head
OF the municipal governmet, there will be some
dissatisfaction but il is also fact that the voters
out OF the community OF expression, will be found
to have made no great mistake in their choice.
The great danger 10 any community lies in
its indifference to its own interests in connection
with the election OF representatives to have charge
of its affairs during their incumbency in office.
But, when the voting is general. when men and
women express their preferences through the bal
lot the destinies OF the community are safe. From
the interest manifested through the payment OF
pol taxes. il seems reasonable 10 say that the
choices made at the oncoming election will be
wise and profitable ones.
Amarillo citizens are evidencing an awaken
ed concern in the welfare OF the community. and
good will unquestionably result therefrom

REAL MONEY FOR REAL VALUES

n Every dollar is now being called upon to per-
form real service. As at no other time in the
past decade the dollar is now required to use its
head During the past few years il may be said
with due regard to fact that the American dol
lar has been drunk" Il has dared to rush in where
its angelic predecessors declined to GO The re-
suit was that it came into disrepute. It's purchas-
ing power was lowered and it passed so quickly
IRON hands eager TO spend eager TO receive and
eager to spend that none had time or inclination
to take il or its legitimate office, seriously.
Fortunately for all concerned. this state Of
affairs has changed. and from this time forward.
the dollar is TO be examined to determine il il is
made up OF one hundred cents. and each OF these
one hundred parts must enter into the game OF
purchase. with demand for a minute return OF
value. according to the investment. No man has
a right TO receive honest money for a dishonest
ly performed task, any more than merchant has
a right to receive an honest dollar for disho,
estly wrought. or priced merchandise An honest
dollar, honestly earned has the right to be invest
ed in honestly made and rightly priced commodi-
ties incident to the happiness and well being OF
himself and family.
The day OF the cheap the dsreputabe, the
hurried the fleeing. daring dollar is past The
conservative eSacting, fu-value dollar has gain
ed the ascendency and taken over the reigns OF
government in finance and business. and those
who do not adjust themselves quickly to this
state OF affairs needs must suffer the conse-
quences OF being at variance with the prevailing
forces. No man. firm. or corporation can long
stand out against this nightly tide OF readjus,
