Missionary Society.

The pretty suburban home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. D. Fry was thrown open
Monday afternoon, October 80, to
Circle No. of the Missionary Society
of the M. E. Church. The home was
artistically decorated in autumn
leaves, fruit and jack-o'-lanterns, a
note of Halloween. Music and read
ings and a contest proved to be all
very delightful, after which the
guests were invited to the parlor to
view the many pretty articles re-
ceived. A nice sum was realized from
the free-will offering. Delicious re-
freshments were served and express
sions of genuine pleasure were ex-
tended to the hostess.

Guides Pepto-M angan Makes Red
Blood; Liquid and Tablet Form.
When blood becomes thin and weak
it is due to a falling off in the num-
Der of red blood cells. 1t is easily
recognized by the pale skin or a
blemished complexion, loss of appe-
title or unnatural irritability and a
sensation of weakness. 1t is not dan
gerous at first. In fact, many people
scarcely notice it and go on for days,
thinking they will be better the next
day.
The great danger is in the POSSIBLE
ity of becoming seriously i'll from
disease, which can work havoc in a
body that lacks the endurance and
resistance in rich, red blood
Taken in time and steadily. few
bottles of GUIDES PeptoMangan are a
great help. 1t improves the quality
of the blood by adding red blood
cells. They check the weakness, i'm
prove the appetite, and clear the
complexion.

No one who is physically ailing in any way

For upon the selection of your food, and upon
its perfect digestion and assimilation largely de-
Ponds your state of health.
The most important thing in connection with
the digestibity of any cereal food is the way it
is prepared and the length of time it is cooked
or baked.
Grape-Nuts, the rich cereal food made from
whole wheat -four and matted barley, is probably
baked longer than any other cereal food.

barleyis changed into dextrin and grape-sugar in
preparing Grape-N Nuts. This is ore reason why
Grape-Nuts is easily digestsd by the

Grape-Nuts is wheat and barley so processed
as to make it delicious and appetizing; even young
children thrive on it and grow strong and rosy.

Early Fall Lawn Seeding
Best for Northern States

The first half of September is
the best time for seeding lawns in
most of the area south of the New
England States and north of the
Potomoc and Ohio Rivers, the
United States Department of Agri-
culture states.
After the preliminary prepare
ton, which involves thorough
working of the soil by some means,
the surface soil to be seeded
should be rendered fine with a
rake or similar implement and a
liberal application of wen-rotted
manure applied, or in lieu of this
about 20 pounds of bone meal for
every 1000 square feet. This fer
tilizer assists young grass plants in
making sufficient growth to pass
the first winter in good condition.
A seed mixture recommended by
the department consists of 16 parts
of Kentucky bluegrass, parts re-
cleaned red-top, and l part white
clover. Sow at rate of approx
mately pounds per 1000 square
feet. The main point in seeding is
to SOW the seed evenly and cover
uniformly but lightly with a rake,
or on large lawns with a weeder.
Light rolling after covering is fire.

The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

Gettysburg, in Preble county, who
have 20 acres of Spanish tobacco be-
tween them, which promises to run
from 1000 to 1000 pounds to the acre.
The leaf is in fine condition and is
now going into the drying sheds every
day. These men are: David Arthur.
Clyde Alfred and Bert Mcdonald and
their crops represent a whole lot of
work, to say nothing of the worry be-
cause of a late wet season for trans
planting.
Tobacco Has Improved
The condition of tobacco in Ohio is
estimated at 70 per cent and in the
United States at II per cent of nor
NAL. These figures suggest total crops
of 955,000,000 pounds for the United
States and $4,000, 900 pounds for Ohio.
The last years United States crop was
1908. 100000 pounds and last years
Ohio crop was 60,4800o0 pounds.
Prospects for Potatoes.
The pleasant September days, with
showers, have been adding to the
growing crops of potatoes in various
states, and it is rather likely that the
government estimate of $4,000, 600
bushels on the first of this month, will
be exceeded. Our 10-year average
has been 81 100000 bushels, but last
year, owing to heavy paintings, the
crop harvested mounted to 428,000,.
600 bushels This resulted in low
prices, there being an oversupply
pressing on the market at various
! times.
The Ohio wool clip estimates place
the weight at 100000 pounds in 1921
against 14,500,000 pounds in 1920. This
! would indicate a corresponding loss in
the number of sheep owned in the
state.
The Farmers Automobile.

une, has been doing Iowa and writ

In reply to Enquirer at Wlnches,
ter: The two farms which were well
improved sold at S126.50 and Sl10 per
acre. making an average of $3.50 per
acre. The smaller and practically IN
improved place, which sold for 500,
cut down the average to $107.70 for
the entire Commit estate tract, con-
tanning, in round numbers, pa acres.
While it is true that fundamental
conditions favor higher prices for
wheat the fact that exporters cut
down their purchases on all bulges,
tends to let the price slide down.
There is little outside speculation and
the men in Chicago who favor
higher prices have little speculative
support, except from Wall Street op-
orators, who come in on the breaks,
as a rule.
The southwest winter wheat farm
ers are beginning to hold grain, seem
ingly having liquidated their most
pressing debts by early sales. Re
ceipts are accordingly falling off at
Kansas City and Gulf points. But the
spring wheat states are furnishing
northern markets with their surplus
at a fairly rapid rate, which tends to
check any undue advances while this
movement is on.

outlay, including some pump re-
pairs was s14.50. In the orchard
there are three yellow transparent
trees. These three trees produced
all the apples the Ridenours want
ed, many were given away and
over $50 worth were sold at SC per
pound. About SIS were left besides
the crop on the other q trees.

known that Iowa uses hundreds of
millions of gallons of gasoline annual
ly, as also does Indiana. Mr.. Evans
continues as follows:
Nearly three-fourths of the farms
of Iowa had automobiles in 1920, ac-
cording to recent census figures. The
ratio of cars TO farms was greater
than in any other state except Neb-
raska, which led by shade.

to the city, it added vastly to his scale
of living, it chased ennui from the
countryside and the buying made
work for great numbers of factory
hands in the cities, incidentally drain
ing the rural regions of some of its
farm labor. 1t meant better roads

can get the chickens to do it.
Too much wood on currants and
gooseberries mean small fruit.
They may be pruned now to ad-
vantage. Fruit is borne on two or
three-year-old wood, but don't have
too much to crowd.

should be of this years growth
and about 10 inches long. Set

slightly before cold weather sets
in.
Plant evergreens, observing the
essential but often forgotten prac.
tice of keeping the roots moist and
protected all the time If trans,

them the minute the tree is dug: if
buying, keep the stock in a shady

tanned by feeding White Leghorns
for egg production during the
years 1857 and 1918 at Pur-
due. Of course all feed prices are
quite different from those which
prevail now but the comparisons
are still useful
Heavy layers consumed about 81
pounds of feed per year.
Animal protein increased the eff
ficiency of the feeds.
The average cost of the war.
time ration was 50 per each hen
per year.
All hens under experiment ate
the same kind of feed except for
the animal protein. The cost OF
producing a dozen eggs using tank,
age was s1.28: for meat scrops il
was s1.36 and for no protein CSC
Imagine the feeding value of tank
