CHESTNUT TREES FOR POLES
Selection Is More Carefully Made
Than Average Person Thinks-
Defects Looked For.

Not every tall chestnut tree Is
worthy Of becoming a telephone pole
the selection Of poles is more care
fully made than the average person
thinks. Chestnut and eastern white
cedar furnish the bulk Of the eastern
pole timber Specifications for chest
nut poles generally require material
to be of good quality second-growth
timber, of specified dimensions, butt
cut, squared at both ends, reasonably
straight, well proportioned from tip
to butt, peeled and with knots trimmed
close.
Defects looked for in inspection are
crookedness, split tops and butts, sap
and butt rot, checks and shakes. Poles
are assigned to two or three classes,
according to their length top circum-
ference and circumference measured
at feet from the butt. Poles of the
40-foot class, for example, are re-
Quired by one representative pole
company to be "a inches in top cir
conference and 49 inches in basal
circumference, while second-class
poles of the same length measure only
% and 46 inches, respectively, at the
two points.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi-
cine.
1t is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is "a strengthening medi-
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and blad-
der do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test Of years.
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit
and it should help you. No other kidney
medicine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..

How the Weeds Spread.
"Yes, maybe, looking at it from one

then, consider. With balloon-seeds
like Canada thistle, dandelions, wild
lettuce and milkweed; bur-seeds like
burdock and beggar's lice, sticking to
every passing man and animal; the
scatter-seeds like tumble; and seeds
that are scattered by birds-do you

"The importance Of cleaning out
weeds growing in waste places around

They are frequently neglected under
pressure of other work; but there is
little work around farm that pays
better than keeping the weeds out of

points out, they can be killed by now
ing twice year, but the location is
one that might better be kept clear
Of all vegetation than grown up to
weeds; and perennlals, like Canada
thistles, can be killed out In these
spots.
How to Deal With Weeds.
An economical way of dealing with
perennials is to saturate them with
waste oils from automobiles and
tractors. The disposal Of this oil is in
itself often q problem. 1t is we'll to
cut the weeds first, apply the oil and
cover the ground with clean dirt for
Appearances sake. OIL will make the
ground sterile and bare for several
years. It is less drastic to cover the
ground with tar paper; old tin, or
loose boards, or to apply dry agricul-
tural salt at the rate of one pound
per square foot.
On the whole, fence row and waste
place weeds are the result Of neglect.
A little well-directed energy will keep
them under control. common say
ing is that a weed-free farm is the
sign of good farmer. 1t Is mark
II distinction that can only be at
eainsd by keeping constantly at the

Strength and Vitality

Thousands of people suffer from nervous
ness. They are run down and miserable without
knowing the reason why.
They do not stop to think that much of their
trouble may be caused by drinking tea and coffee
which contain the drugs, them and caffeine When
you over-stimuate the system for any period of
time the result may be nervousness with its
many accompanying ills. You may fail to sleep
properly and your sleep does not refresh you as
it should.
Postum, made from scientifically roasted
cereals, will help you to overcome all these
conditions For it contains only heathfu SUBJ
stances, instead of drugs, as are found in tea
and coffee.
Postum helps build sound nerve structure.
by letting you get sound, restful sleep.
In flavor, Postum is much like high-grade
coffee. In fact there are many people who pre-
fer Postum for its savory flavor alone.
Order Postum from your grocer today.
Serve this rich, fragrant beverage for the family.
See how the children will like it, and how much
better everybody will sleep at night.

BANKERS OF

The Mason county farmer who Is

the statements made by discussing the
matter with his banker, and he will
find that the investigations made in

the situation here.
Every progressive country-town
banker is particular friend Of dairy

friendship, but 1t is self-interest Of the
right kind, for what the banker does
to promoatc dairying helps the COM
munity before the banker gets returns
on the aid that he has given.
The banker favors dairying because
It is safe, sure and profitable. The
milk crop never fails; there is always
a demand for dairy products; there is
always a steady cash income for the
dairy man mont hin and month out;
and there is a building-up Of soil fer
tillty that assures better results from
the diversified crop production that
goes hand in hand with dairy farming.
All Of these things mean greater COM
