Dinner

C. II. Imig, Miss Margaret Thomas.
and County Agent Schoepf were the
speakers at the Equity picnic held at
the McNeeley farm on the banks OF
Devils creek last Sunday. Nearly two
hundred people enjoyed the talks at
ter fine picnic lunch.
Mr.. SchOepf called the people togeth-
or by playing a few numbers on the
euphOnium and then spoke to the farm
ers on the need of completing the COW
testing association around Bruce and
then further organization into breed
associations.

not good enough" Then fed still bet

Mr.. Imig is a strong advocate OF
Bows and Girls clubs. for il is through
responsibility that the child takes ali
interest in the farm. Pig clubs. potato
clubs. and grain clubs meet more with
Mr.. Imig's favor than calf clubs be-

MORE FARMERS
JOIN CORN CLUB
Contest Is On To Produce 100
or More Bushels To the
Acre

Ten more farmers last week were
added to the 100 Bushels Corn Club"
and 200 more are expected to join
within the next month, each one OF
whom will receive certificate of yield
from the experiment association. The
only requirements to get into the club
are to officially grow 100 bushels OF
corn, Of one of the standard pure-bred
varieties recommended for the state,
on at least two acres.
Every farmer who can grow corn
on his farm should take advantage OF
this opportunity of getting into the
class of farmers who are putting WIS
cOnsin on the map as the leading pure
bred grain state in the world" is the
statement of II. A. Moore, secretary OF
the experiment association at Madison
1t should be an honor to every farmer
to be able to grow more corn on an
acre than his corn belt neighbor.
Varieties Included
The contestant must enroll with the
secretary before June Is. He must
grow either Silver King, Wisconsin No.
Z, Golden Glow, Wisconsin No. l.,
Early Yellow Dent, Wisconsin No. s..
Northern Yellow Dent, Wisconsin No.
%, Clark's Yellow Dent, or Murdoch.
He must grow two acres of the same
variety, but the two acres may be
taken out of larger field if he wishes
to do so. Each grower is under the
supervision Of a committee in his
county who see that all rules are lived
up to.
Last year the contest was won by a
farmer in Brown county who grew lbs
bushels per acre. His soil was a
medium clay loan. He grew his corn
on fall-plOwed clover sod which was
t0p-dressed with barnyard manure. He
also used 200 pounds of commercial
fertilizer to the acre. The yield was
obtained with Golden Glow. AS these
conditions are about an average for
the state, good yields should be ex-
pected from all parts of the state.

FINANCE CONFERENCE LIKELY
Rumored That Germany Has Offered

inc lnstallments

London.-The recent conference be-
tween Premier Lloyd-George and the
French premier, M. BRAND, relative
to reparations, is described by the
newspapers as the most fateful since
the Versailles treaty was concluded.
The meeting was arranged before
Germany's official declaration of her
inability to pay the forthcoming rep
arations installments and there is a
disposition in some sections of the
press to regard the German move as
a maneuyer to bring pressure to bear
on the premiers' meeting. This view
is confined mainly to those newspa-
pers known for their strong advocacy
of a firmer alliance between Great
Britain and France. The general opin-
ion is that the Wirth government has
honestly tried to meet its obligations
and that it will be necessary to grant
Germany a delay of few months, If
not actual moratorium.
According to the Evening Standard,
Germany has offered to pay the allies

lion pounds sterling in January and
eleven or twelve million pounds ster-
ling in February, or about half the
actual sums due, but there is no con.
firmation, either from Paris or Ber-
lin that such an offer has been made.
M. BRAND, however, it is learned,
received the German ambassador at
Paris, who made certain explanations,
and it is considered possible the offer
was made then.

HOUSE PASSES MEASURE TO
RELIEVE STARVING RUSSIANS
Opposition To The Bill Fought It To
The Last-Amendmen To Relieve

Washington.--A bill authorizing the
president to expend twenty million
dollars out of the funds of the United
States Grain Corporation for relief
of the distressed and starving people
of Russia was passed by the house,
l14 to 81.
Opposition to the measure fought it
the ground that the vote, as announced,
did not include quorum Of the house.
The roll call resulted in 181 to II,
and the bill has been sent to the SEN
ate.
In wrangling over the measure, the
house attempted to chop 1t to pieces
with amndments. The first actual test
was on an amendment by Representa-
tive Bankhead, Democrat of Alabama,
to reduce the amount from twenty mil
lion to ten million dollars, which was
defeated Is to 60.
There had been two solid hours of
debate, during which a flood OF elo-

regardless of the Bolshevik ruin that
had brought about their distress,
should have their cry for bread 81.

,CALOMEkAT ALL
It's Quicksilver, SaIivates, Causes
rheumatism and Bone

The next dose Of calomel you take
may salivate you. 1t may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel
is dangerous. 1t is mercury, quicksil-
yer. 1t crashes into sour bile like
dynamite, cramping and sickening you.
Calomel attacks the bones and should
never be put into your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, consti-
pated and all knocked out, just go to
your druggist and get bottle Of DOd-
sons Liver Tone for few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful
and If it doesn't. start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making
you sick. you just go back and get your
money.
Don't take calOmel! 1t can not be
trusted any more than leopard or a
wildcat. Take Dodson's Liver Tone
which straightens you right up and
makes you feel fine. No salts neces-
sary. Give it to the children because
1t is perfectly harmless and can not
salivate.-Advertise
