Dreadful Cough Cured
A severe cold is often followed
by a rough cough for which Cham
'berlain's Cough Remedy has prov
en especially valuable. Mrs. F. W.
Olsen, Marysville, Mo., writes:
"About two years go my little boy
Jean caught a severe cold and
coughed dreadfully for days. I
tried a number of cough medicines
but nothing did him any good until
I gave him Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy. It relieved his cough
right away and before he had finish
ed taking one bottle he was cured. I
think it is just fine for children."

Getting Rid of Colds
( The easiest and quickest way to
get rid of a cold is to take Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. This pre
paration has been in use for many
years and its value fully proven.
No matter what remedy you use,
r however, care must be taken not to
contract a second cold before you
have rcoverqjl from the first one.
and there is a serious danger of
this. A man of middle age or older
should go to bed and stay in bed
until fully recovered. It is better
to stay in bed three days at the
start than three weeks later on. .**.

FINANCIAL SHAPE
CF RECENT YEARS
Smooth Transition of Agricul
ture to Peace Basis Predicted
by Federal Reserve Board
BORN OF WAR
American farmers are In better
financial shape than they have been
for years, according to a recent report
of the Federal Reserve Board at Wash
ington. which also predicts a smooth
transition of agriculture and industry
from a war to a peace basis. The
board's review of economic conditions
throughout the country is based on
detailed reports made to it by the
governors of the twelve federal re
serve hanks.
"The farmer Is said to be in the
best financial shape for many years."
the review' says. "In the South he is
able to hold his cotton for better
prices and is marketing his output
conservatively.
"Excellent crop prospects are re
ported from the wheat states of the
West and from California. On the
Pacific Coast the prospects for excel
lent props are exceedingly bright."
"Victory year" crops, according to
another government report, added
$17.000.000.000 to our wealth. The
principal contributions were:
Corn—2,5S2.S14,000 bushels, $3,528,
313.000.
Wheat—917,100,000 bushels, $1,874,
623.000»
Oats—1,538,359,000 bushels, $1,092,
423.000. *
Barley—256,375,000 bushels, $235,
269.000.
Rye—S9,103,000 bushels, $134,947,
000 .
Potatoes—397,676,000 bushels, $475,
731.000.
Hay—75,459,000 tons, $1.522,473.000.
Tobacco — 1,340,019,000 pounds,
$374,318.000.
Apples—173.632,000 barrels, $229,
990.000.
As a result of the flourishing condi
tion of the farmer in general the gov
ernment expects him to take a large
block of Victory Liberty Loan Bonds
in April.
It is difficult yet to value accurately
or in some instances to perceive all
the war has brought to our national
life or pruned from It. The things
we think little now may appear to
posterity the greatest. The Thrift
Stamp idea seems to he one of these.
Originated as a war emergency meas
ure, it has taken hold; has appealed
to the common sense of America, and
may yet shape the destiny of the
nation.
It is patent, now that the war is
over, that the Thrift Stamp has come
to stay. If we get nothing.else out of
the war but the habit of saving, which
begets the corollary simple living, we
will have reaped the full fruit of the
war. For a thrifty democracy is a
firm democracy, a potent democracy,
a democracy strong enough to pre
serve itself.
A man who saves is a better citizen
than the man who does not save. He
becomes a stockholder in his govern
ment and he is jealous for the wel
fare of that gove.nment in war and
in peace. In war he will fight for it
with his life. In peace he will protect
it from those who would tear down.
As America saves from this day on
so shall she grow in benign power and
In the eyes of mankind. "A bank ac
count for every American citizen"
should he one of our national slogans.
The Thrift and War Savings Stamp
Idea is freighted with a mighty change
for the better in our national life.
The Thrift Stamp is backed by the
United States government. Without
doubt it Is the greatest investment
ever offered and it is in such a form
that every American, big and little,
can take advantage o' 1L
GREEN MANURE CROPS 1
The New Jersey experiment
station calculates that two crops
of green manure contain as
much phosphoric acid and pot
ash and nearly as much nitro
gen as 20 tons of stable manure.
Rye, soy beaus and clovers ahe
crops most often used. In thé
gardening section of the state
rye is planted as a cover crop
as soon as potatoes and early
vegetables are out of the way.
This is plowed under and takes
the place of some of the barn*
yard manure that was formerly
hauled.
CLEANING UP SWAMP LANDS
Undesirable Growth Should Be Burned
When Ground Is Wet to Pre
serve Plant Food.
(From the United States Department ot
Agriculture.)
Growth which is to be cleaned np on
swamp land or any soil containing a
large amount of organic matter should
be burned when the ground Is wet, to
prevent the destruction of valuable
plant food. When soils do not con
tain a large amount of organic matter
and It Is the intention to seed in the
ashes immediately after the burning,
too much emphasis cannot be placed
upon the importance of getting a
clean burn.
FARMERS!
Lnst Y©m Repair Meed

or another had not lost valuable time waiting for nec
essary repair parts. Take this territory and total up
the time lost in this way and it will astonish you.
And all because repairs are not ordered as early as
they should be.
There is no better time than right now, just before
the busiest season on the farm, to go over your ma
chines carefully, make up a list of repairs you
are likely to need and send it to us before or during
Repair and inspection week, March 3-8. With this
list in our hands we can order our stock so as to be
prepared to meet every call promptly.
Repair part service is a necessary part of our business
We realize what it means to you in time and money
to get what you need at once. Help us to help you
