Counting it only in dollars and

always stop work when he has
a cold, but perhaps it would be
better if he did. 1t takes about
ten days to get completely rid
of a cold under the usual treat

shortened by taking Chamber

FULL AND FREE EXPLANATION
Statement Of Justice Of the Peace
Surely Shed Great Light on
Important Subject.

In a certain western town there
was at one time a justice of the
peace who had been born in the
Emerald isle, and whose blunders
occasioned many a smile to the bet
ter-educated members of the COM
munity.
At one time a subpoena had been
issued from his court to another
Irishman to attend as witness in a
case where John Smith was the
plaintiff, and Henry johnson ct al.
were the defendants.
Patrick Clancy, the desired wit
ness, appeared in court before the
trial commenced, and during an in
formal preliminary conversation he
asked, bluntly:
"Judge, who in the world is ct
alp"
"Well, well, Patrick" exclaimed
his honor, in evident amazement. II
must say that I am a bit surprised
that an American citizen and a man
of ordinary intelligence should not
know the meaning of ct al. But
for the benefit Of the witness
and any other gentlemen present
that might be as ignorant as Patrick
Clancy, l will explain. 1t is derived
from two Latin words and means, in
its literal and American sense, at
all, at all I"-Philadelphia Ledger.

Chronic Constipation.

There are people who never
have a movement of the bowels
without it is produced by a ca
tharic. Most of them have
brought that condition on them
selves by the use of mineral
waters and strong cathartics
that take too much water out of
the system and aggravate the
disease they are meant to re-
lieve. A mild laxative tonic like
Chamberlain's Tablets affords a
gentle movement of the bowels
that you hardly realize has been
produced by a medicine, and
their use is not so likely to be
followed by constipation. Adv.

Great Opportunity In Raising
Hogs This Year.

The present shortage of hogs
in Tennessee is something that
should attract the attention of
every thinking farmer, accord.
ing to ]. H. McLead. assistant
livestock specialist. Division.
of Extension, University of Tenn
essee. They say that 60 per cent
normal hog supply is a condition
that cannot be wisely overlooked.
This shortage comes at a time
when there is a surplus of corn
not only in Tennessee but
throughout the corn producing
section of the country. It has
been reliably estimated that
there Is 500. 900. 600 bushels of
surplus corn in the United States.
AS a consequence every hog
feeder Is scrambling for feeder
hogs and a premium has through
the necessity of competition, been
paid for anything that was fit to
go into the feed lot, says Mr..
Mcleod.
Most every farmer who dis.
posed of his breeding sows dur.
ing the past year or two is now
regretting the move. However.
it is better to give time and
thought in preparing for the fut-
ure than to grieve over the mis-
takes made in the past. II only
stands to reason that now is the
time to restock the farms with
good brood material. There is
no doubt that there will be a
large carry over the corn during
the coming year as not many
farmers are willing 10 dispose of
their crop at 40 and 80 cents
per bushel. Then too, the in
dications are that the price
of hogs in the future will be
such that they will continue to
pay a good dividend for the corn
that they consume. While there
might have been some excuse for
certain farmers disposing of
their hogs during the rapid de-.
flation of prices yet with the
present favorable prospect in
view it would seem that the far
mer who is not preparing to
raise his porkers for the coming
year is certainly passing up a
great opportunity.

FORD MAKES FIRST AN
NOUNCEHENT OF RE-
DUCTlON in TRACT.
OR BY RADIO.

The following statement OF
Henry Ford, was issued Thurs
day evening. January 26th. al
the Radio Station of the Ford
Motor Co.. Dearborn. Mich. to
Ford dealers at the Cleveland
branch. The statement shows
clearly the reason why Mr.. Ford
has cut the price of the Fordson
Tractor to the lowest figures.
It is certainly wonderful to
sit here in my office and say a
few words of greeting to you.
Ford dealers of the Cleveland
territory. The radio is an out
standing tribute to mans inven-
tive genius. They say there is
nothing new under the sun. but
we are constantly inventing new
things, every day bringing some
big improvement over the previ-
ous' days methods.
Manufacturing o perations 8
have undergon some wonderful
revolutionary changes during
the past few years. We are all
familiar with the big improve
ments in transportation methods,
but the Oldest industry has been
the most backward In the accept
ance or adoption of new and up.
to-date methods of doing things.
and that is the farming industry.
Being q farmer, am vitally in
terested in all farm improve
ments, and with this in mind. /
have spent years of time and
millions in money in the develop,
ment of the Fordson tractor
which | really think is one of the
biggest helps possible to profit
able farming.
As q general thing, the far
mers have bettered their financial
condition during the past 18
months, but the production costs
of farm products are still to
close to selling prices to allow
fair margins of profit. What the
farmer must do to put his bhsi-
ness on a paying basis is to low
er the cost of planting, cultivat.
ing and harvesting his crops:
This alone will increase his pro.
fits, and with this thought in
mind it has been our constant
aim to lower the cost of the
Fordsan so that every farmer in
the land could own one.
