Nations Best Dairy Cattle Containing Proportion
Of Lime; and the Nations Children Of Tender Years


Uncle SANS soil doctors are
" finding new ways to prolong
human and animal life Their
aim now is to bring about the more
extensive use of soil ingredients
that will afford a maximum of life
giving properties. Scientific proof
that lime mixed in the soil not only
results in more abundant agricul-
ture, but more healthful products,
has evoked warm support from Sec
rotary of Agriculture Wallace and
his corps of experts. Bulletins urg-
ing the more general use of lime in
soil treatment, are being spread
broadcast by the Government De-
partment officials in their studies
are convinced that lime is needed by
animals as we'll as by plants, "
When their attention was drawn
to the great mortality among ami
mails of all classes last year from
disease and exposure. it was their
conclusion that pastures upon which
animals grazed, because of lack in
nourishment, may have contributed
greatly 20 this death rate officials
of the Department declared that
lime is essential to the full growth
and healthful pastures for animals
Lime they said, improves the quail
ity and variety of grasses and
cloyers. Not only are the grasses
and clovers more abundant on lime
treated soils, but they are grown in
greater profusion.

grazeeon pastures which have a lib
eral proportion of lime, officials said.
The Nations children of tender
years depend mainly upon good
milk. The soil doctors, therefore,
are advocates of better soil as a
means of producing better plant
food to strengthen the dairy herds.
Secretary Hoover, the Nations
war time food chief is a great advo-
cate of the value of milk in diet.
especially for children. Milk con-
tains probably more lime than any
other food. Children as we'll as the
grown-ups, officials said, need lime
in their diet because it is a great
bone builder and a big factor in
revitalizing blood and tissues of the
human system. IN
1t was asserted, therefore. to be
of the highest Importance to the
health Of the people that the great
Agricultural producing interests Of
the Nation employ larger quantities
of lime upon their lands 1t was
further said, that most farmers LOOK
beyond their own horizon and have
the interest and welfare Of their
communities at heart. and of their
neighbors beyond their own borders
In the improvement of the Welding
power of soils and of the quality o1
crops, agricultural officials have
found that the farmer is not slow to
adopt new methods of soil treatment
when they will raise the standard OF
his own products in contrihutioa 10

One Dollar Saved Represents Ten
Dollars Earned

The average man does not save to
exceed ten p of his earnings. He
must spend nine dollars in living ex-
penses for every dollar saved. That
being the case he can not be too care
full about unnecessary expenses. Very
often few cents properly invested,
like buying seeds for his garden, will
save several dollars outlay later on.
It is the same in buying Chamber
lain's Collie and Diarrhoea Remedy.
1t costs but few cents, and bottle
of it in the house often saves a doc
tors bill of several dollars.

THURSDAY JULY IA, 1921

In Belington as in all other
cities there is a certain element
that seemingly do all they can to
obstruct progress.
There are people who act the
hermit or miser, there are those
who are not willing to pay a real
estate license and come out in
the open and meet fair competit-
ion there are owners or property
who try to destroy the real Es-
tate business by buting in on the
licensed real Estate dealers GUS
toners and knocking. You will
note that knockers never win
and winners never knock.
The prosperity and progress
of this city has been stunted by
menbeing knockers not boosters.
The Tygarts Valley real Es-
tate Company will lead in boost
ing Belington and Barbour
County. John R. Ice, Manager
of the firm, is a promoter and
salesman and is known all over
the State as well as in Tygarts
Valley because of his boosting
our city and County.
Belington now has Chamber
of Commerce Of nearly 200
members and all of these men
are for greater Belington and
Barbour County and are boost
ers. Why not all join the Cham
Der of Commerce booster organ
ization.
We have the natural resources
and wealth and our location is
better than any other city in the
Tygarts Valley and there is no
reason why Belington should not
be a city of 5000 people in
course of a year and our farm
population double what it is to-
day. When you know of some
one or friend or relative
who thinks of locating soon in
torduce him to John R. Ice and
he will be able to furnish large
list of properties to select from
and in this way by us working
together we will get him locat-
ed in your city your County and
he will be your city neighbor
and he will trade in your town
with your merchants.
There are owners of real Es-
tate who are offering their pro-
perry for sale through the Eagle
Eyed" curbstoner, drygoods box
whittlers and knockers and II
unsuspecting customer that the
real estate man has spent to get
to come to our town is kept from
us if possible and he leaves in
disgust where if the customer
had been directed to the realEs-
tate man he was looking for he
likely would have found what he

For a small family fond of chop
