Gardner in Success ful Farming says that, with man power, from plowing to feed trough it takes four hours and thirty-four minutes work to raise one bushel of corn. The use of power machinery has reduced this to forty-one minutes, thus enabling one man to do the work of six. The importance of this saving of time may be realized when we learn that for 1920 Iowa is short 50,000 farm hands. Similar conditions are reported from the Middle West generally. This presents a serious problem. The answer is gasoline power used in tractor, truck and automobile. The food supply of the future depends upon gasoline. Last year the Standard Oil Company(Indiana) provided the Middle West with power for 16,438,0C0 motor miles a day. Much of this went to the hnr.s to help multiply the crops. Much of it was used in motor trucks to help the fanner get his crops to market. The demand for gasoline was great, and the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) was ready with the supply. That silent, watchful readi ness b.L:ei upon the foresight and re sourcefulness of an organization trained to its task through years of experience. The manufacture of gasoline is not the sole function of the Standard Gil Company (Indiana). Equ :llv important is its service of placing the gasoline where the consumer can get it easily and quickly. More than 1,300 Service Stations and' over 7,000 tank wagons and trucks ar» operated by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to make gasoline and lubricating oils constantly available for increasing the 1920 crops.

I was so tired all the time and my nerves seemed to bo all gone. I could not sleep at night and had headache all the time. I quit the doctors and started to take Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription. I took it. four times a day, and in three months I did not have to go to bed, did not need a doctor.
