R. Frank D. 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.

An Important
Letter
Cedar Rapids, Iowa.—"I have used
Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription for
one year. Before I started to take it
every month I was in bed three to four
days under a doctor's care. I was only
27 years old but the doctors said I
would have to have an operation before
I could be well. 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. I gained so much in the three
months that my husband said 'You
take that medicine for a year,' and I
did so. Now I do all my housework and
have never had a headache since. I
sleep good, eat good, and feel good, my
nerves aro fine. It has been twenty-one
months since I have taken the 'Pre
scription' and I have not had any re
turn of the troublo so far. I recom
mend the 'Pavorite Prescription' to
