FOR BETTER EFFICIENCY IN FARMING.
If you were to visit any reputable lawyer and request his opinion
of the law upon any certain subject more than likely he will not
answer you at once but will tell you that he will have to look up the
Statutes and opinions otf the Supreme Court upon the subject. lie
does not pretend to carry these things in his head. The thing that he
knows and that which other men do not know is where to go to get
his informati on. This the distinguishing characteristic of the really
good lawyer.
It has occured to us that if this same capacity were acquired in
our other avocations of life our efficiency would be greatly advanced
We nmean the capacity to know how and where to get information
We are an agricultural section first of all. No mart engaged in agri
culture pretends to know all there is to be known about agriculture, c
that is, no man who is really engaged in agriculture. There are two
essential conditions however for this wider information. First, we p
must get ourselves in the proper attitude of mind for the reception of o
information We must be willing in the first place to learn. This is s
a harder task to some than we may first imagine. Second. we must
know where to get the information. There is plenty of information t(
upon any line of farming and it may be obtained simply for the asking,.
There are bureaus in charge in most cases paid by your own taxes and
to which you are rightly entitled. They are in most cases.thoroughly lo
equipped; and not only willing to help you but are anxious to help gi
you. ar
We suggest that our farmers make use of these sources of infor Lr
mation. Get you printed stationery padded in nice note paper size P
and be prepared to sit down and get in touch with the very best to
methods of doing the thing in which you are engaged. to
H\e give below a little outline of the places where you can obtain M'
':uable information that will help you:
If you wish to get your boy or girl in the Corn Club or Canning Fe
Club work this year, write your State Agent. Mr

If there is anry disease that breaks out in your plants or animals. gas

-\Whenever you wish any bulletins issued by the National Depart- me
merit of Agriculture, send the names and numbers of bulletins desireil prC
to your Congressman or to the Secretary of Agriculture, Washington to

Epworth League Devotional Meeting.
Our lesson for Feb. 22 is about"God's
Gift of Great Men and How He Devel
ops Them." The central figure in the
lesson is Moses, but as the 22nd is
Washington's birthday, we will also
study his character. Nor will Lincoln
be forgotton.
The greatest thing in this world is a
great man; the noblest, a noble man;
the best, a good man. These qualities
combined in the life of an individual
gives us a glimpse of a sublime life.
What made Moses, Washington and
Lincoln great men? Come to Epworth

To Our,
Delinquent Subscribers
In looking over our subscription books we find that there are a good
many of you. A good many whose subscription is one or more years behind
and it is to you that we are addressing this message. in time past it was
customary for editors to receive in payment on subscription just anything
from a load of wood to a sack of turnips and then depend upon his friends
and neighbors to keep the wolf from the door. But in these days business
is too close and competition to keen. It is absolutely necessary for the
editor of a newspaper to receive a little real money, and now-a-days unless
he does this he will be compelled to suspend publication. The JOURNAL is
no exception to the rule. It requires some real money to get out the
JOURNAL every week-money that must absolutely be raised somehow.
Now in order that the JOURNAL may render the community the best service
it will be necessary that we have the money that is due on subscription and
to this end we make a personal appeal to you to come in and settle up your
subscription at the earliest date possible, or if living at a distance just mail
us a letter today containing the amount due.
Just look at the yellow label on this paper and you will be able to tell
just what you owe this office. If the'label reads January 3, 1914 your sub
scription expired on that date and you should send us one dollar that we
may advance your subscription one year. If the label reads June 5, 1912
you should send us two dollars that we may advance your subscription to
June 5, 1914, and so on, you may easily tell the amount due by remembering
that the subscription is one dollar per year payable in advance.
We trust therefore that if your subscription has expired you will at
once send us the amount due to bAlance your subscription account one year
in advance.
As An Inducement
-Extraordinary.
For the next 3d days as an inducement to you to to pay up all your
subscription at once we will give you absotuely'free one year's subscription

your' subscription one frll year in advance or send us by mail the amount
and your name will be placed on the subscription list of the Item Farmer
for one year and your subscription to the Journal advanced one year.
