Pepsodent brings three other effects which authorities now desire.
 It multiplies the salivary flow - Natures great tooth-protecting agent. It multipIies the starch digestant in the saliva. Thas is there to digest starch deposits which may otherwise form acid
 It multplies the alkalinity Of the saliva. That is Natures neutralzer for the acids which cause decay. Pepsin is also included.

 Your teeth are coated with dingy film IL is viscous you can feel it with your tongue. It clings to teeth, enters crevices and stays. It clouds the teeth and causes most tooth troubles.

 The film is what discelors, not the teeth. Film is the basis of tartar. It holds food substance which ferments and forms acid. It holds the acid in contact with the teeth to cause decay.

Dental science has long sought ways to combat that film. The ways have now been found Able authorities have amply proved them Leading dentists everywhere advise their daily use.
 The methods are embodied in new-day tooth paste-Pepsodent. It combats the film wherever it may finger. In this way it brings surprising results which one quickly sees Over 5,030 new people daily are trying out this modern method.

There is practically a nationwide
advocacy of five-cent street car fares
with transfers. Hundreds of Cham
bers of Commerce and other civic bo-
dies are urging this. Petitions have
gone from business managers, stores,
ETC., that the private managers of
street car companies reduce fares.
Coming from this source, we may ex-
pect that it will be done. The argu-
ment being that more people would
ride, which would stimulate business
down town, and for the same reason
obviate the necessity of raising the
rates to make the roads pay.

mess done by the farmers over that
of the preceding year. While returns
are not yet obtainable for 1921, the
formation of three national farmers
cooperative marketing associations
and the rapid spread of cooperative
organization in the production and dis
tribution of almost every staple farm
produce promises a record of cooper

present to Europesn countries to offset

COOPERATION VS..
POLITICAL ACTION

The other day witnessed the defeat
Of the Non-P artisan League officials
Of the State government of North Da-
kota. For long years the League has
tried earnestly and devotedly to accom-
plish things for the benefit of the far
mers and industrial workers of that
state, and now they have been defeated
without accomplishing much of any
thing. Then in addition, as we look
back over the last fifty years Of Am
erican history, and consider the many
efforts that have been made to de-
liver the farmers and workers from
their thraldom under plutocracy from
since 1872, down to the last election
in North Dakota. the futility of it all
almost overwhelms one.
One would conclude that all these
defeats would have taught the workers
some valuable lessons, but it seems
that only comparatively small num-
Der of them, somewhat advanced in
years, is receptive to the information
these experiences can teach.
Turning away in disgust from the
barren political field. better pros
pect looms in sight in cooperation.
The Department of Commerce.
through the Bureau Of the Census, an
nounces that the returns from the 49, !,
70 census of agriculture in the United
States most reveals the remarkable |
progress that farmers cooperation has
been silently making. The Census re-
port shows that last year 5Il,363
farms marketed comparatively $722,- |
600, 900 worth of produce, while 329,-
449 farms made purchases of over
$64,000.000 through their co-opera-
tive associations. The average for
the whole country indicates that one
farm out of every 10 (9.796) is con-
nected with one or more cooperative |
organizations. In the more progress
i've states the average is much higher, |
reaching, in Minnesota, 1890 of all |
farms in the state.
In the amount of sales the well-or-
gained California fruit growers lead.
with returns of approximately $I28,-
100000 from cooperative marketing,
while the Minnesota creamery and
cheese factory co-operators stand Sc
cond. The totals for the entire coun-
try show that grain is the most valu-
able single commodity marketed by the
cO-Operatves. followed by milk and
cream products. fruits, and truck |
crops.
There is something to think about
in the fact that in the states where the
farmers are poorest there is the least
cooperative activity. In the poverty
stricken agricultural sections of the
South, where farm tenantry and farm
mortgages abound, less than | per cent
Of the farms report cooperative mar
keting or purchasing.
The Bureau of Markets of the De-
partment of Agriculture has also Just
released figures on farmers co-opera-
ton, gathered BY its 1900 .county1i
agents throughout the country. The |,

operation in the United States is re-
corded in the figures for 1920. which
show a jump of more than 500 per
cent In the amount of cooperative bus

WaS M 1t was the
N.Y. Nz/ search for
$SeME - mythical
Fountain of Perpetual Youth
that led Ponce de Leon, the
Spanish explorer, to land near
the present site of st. Augustine.
His rediscovery of Florida in
1913 was on Easter Sunday,
hence the name, which is from
Pascua Florida or Flowery Pass
over, which is the Spanish for
Easter Sunday. T.
The French were the next set
tiers, founding a colony on the
st. Johns river. Spain promptly
took action to maintain her own
ership of this region and sent
over an expedition which erected
a fort under the leadership of
Menendez at st. Augustine in
1865 and exterminated the Huge
not colony. st. Augustine is the
Oldest city in the United States.
There followed q period Of hos
tility between the English col
Onists in the Carolinas and the
Spanish in Florida. BY the trea-
ty Of 1853 Spain ceded Florida
to England in exchange for Ha-
vana, which England had cap
tured few years previous. It
remained an English colony un-
til the last years of the Revolu-
tion when Spain recaptured it.
There were two provinces,
East and West Florida. AS the
Spanish ruled Florida with a
very loose form of government,
this region became the refuge of
pirates, smugglers and lawless
characters. Such an element to-
gether with the unruly Seminole
Indians naturally caused a great
deal Of trouble. To overcome
this, President Monroe pur-
chased Florida from Spain in
1919 for $5,OOO,OOO or about
eleven cents an acre. 1t was
organized into a territory and
in 1845 was admitted to the Un-
ION.
Florida is sometimes called
the Everglade State on account
of the vast swamp-land in its
southern part. It is also known
as the Peninsula State and is the
southernmost State Of the Union.
Its area is $500 square miles.
