Part of Exhibit at Louisville.
A talk or a lecture may be thor
oughly convincing and delightful, but
a demonstration must carry absolute
conviction. The demonstrations that
will be used in Louisville in the huge
Armory, April 7, 8, 9, 10, are sure to
attract the attention of the farmers,
their friends and neighbors who come
to the Conference. A short list of
some of these various demonstrations
will probably give some idea of the
wide scope of this meeting. Men who
understand the business will develop
real organizations for the handling
(1) Poultry and Eggs; (2) Vegetables
and Small Fruits; (3) Farm Products;
(4) Dairy Products; (5) Live Stock;
(6) Purchase of Farm Requirements,
and (7) Co-operative Credit. In these
organizations that will be developed,
an effort will be made to show exactly
bow the testing, grading, standardiz
ing and packing of all the various pro
ducts Is done. Directors for shipping,
selling, the making of returns and the
finding of markets will be made fea
tures of these ' demonstrations.
Besides these co-operative organiza
tions that have just been mentioned
the United States Postoffice Depart
ment has arranged for space in which
to equip a complete parcel post depart
ment. Instead of Its being merely
dummy affair with an exhibit, parcels
will be handled and sent out as they
are in any great postoffice. Several of
the lare retail stores of Louisville will
send their parcel post packages direct
to this office instead of the main post
office, so that there will be continuous
work in handling the mail during the
whole time the Armory is open for ex
hibition purposes. In addition to the
handling of packages from the city to
the country, experts will be present
to show anyone how to pack eggs, but
ter and country produce of every type.
Very few people know very much
about the parcel post as yet, and this
Innovation should prove a tremendous
advantage to those vistlng the Confer
ence. THE BANKER-FARMER
B. P. Harris, of Illinois.
It seems rather odd to find on out
desk a new magazine with the above
heading. It has always seemed to ai
as if the bankers and the farmers did
not know each other as well as they
should. In running over this splendid
magazine, which la a monthly review
f the State Bankers' Associations ol
thirty-seven states, their agricultural
committees and the individual banket
In agricultural matters, it seems to be
most timely. It claims among 1U
Items of interest "public welfare, la
connection with an effort to obtain
and hold successful and permanent
agriculture through setter farming,
marketing, education, roada, rural Ufa
and credits.
All the wide-awake folks who meet
at the Conference for Farmers and
Business Men in Louisville to discusi
rural matters during the four days,
April 7, 8, 9, 10, will have a chance to
hear the editor of "The Banker-Farm
er," Mr. B. F. Harris, of Champaign,
I1L He is not only the editor of this
strong, clean publication; but he is,
also, the very successful vice presi
dent of. the First National Bank of
Champaign and chairman of the Agri
cultural Commission, which was devel
oped under the auspices of the Amen
lean Bankers' Association. , ,

STARTED WITH 51,500 NOTE
Buckwheat Valley, Wisconsin, Be
comes Prosperous Through Co-operation
What the Conference To Be
Held In Louisville Really Is For.
A program built with experts from
the various departments of the State
and National Government, Is naturally
quite an easy matter. To go out over
the country and find people who are
really doing things in their own com
munities, is quite another proposition.
This has been the task, which the men
who are handling the Conference for
Farmers and Business Men have set
for themselves this year.
Walter J. Shuford, North Carolina.
One of the most Interesting men of
this type in the whole United States is
Walter J. Shuford, of Hickory, N. C.
He is one of those men who evidently
dreams wonderful dreams, then rolls
np bis sleeves and works hard to make
those same dreams come true. ' Way
down in North Carolina Mr. Shuford
saw how his friends and neighbors
were limping through life on a worn-
out soil that would not seemingly sup
ply their wants. At last he found the
man he needed in Field Agent Con-
over, and they began work to interest
a group of men in a dairy proposition.
From a start that was made with a
$1,500 joint promissory note with
which to finance the creamery, it has
grown year after, year until last Octo
ber, the total sales amounted to over
$10,000. And it seems from the way
In which things are growing that their
co-operative organization will soon be
handling a business that will total
about $600,000 a year.
One might write volumes about
what has happened down in Catawba
Valley in that Tarheel country, but it
Is enough to say that this man has
ehanged the attitude and viewpoint of
county through his own enthusiasm.
He will be In Louisville during the
Conference, April 7-8-9-10, to tell his
own story and to demonstrate the
methods that he used to organize and
develop this tremendous business.
FAT OF THE LAND
Seven years ago Buck Wheat Valley
In Wisconsin was almost bankrupt.
Two-thirds of her property was held
In mortgages and the young people
were drifting toward the city. Wheat,
which in the early days had yielded 60
bushels to the acre, had dwindled to
16, and It was because of this that the
people had to substitute buck wheat
hence the name of the Valley.
Seven years ago Mr. William Head
and Mr. Ororer began organizing the
people about the LaValle for develop
ing the creamery work and standard
ising the potato crop. To-day there la
hardly a mortgage in this neighbor
hood, the homes are painted, new
barns are being built, silos stand as
sentinels all over the country.' Mr.
Head and Mr. Grover will be In Leu
iSVille April 7-1 9-10, t tell how they
lifted Buck Wheat Valley out of bank
ruptcy Into plenty.
A GETTING TOGETHER
The seventeenth annual Conference
of Farmers and Business Men which
Is to meet in Louisville, April 7-8-9-10,
la a rather unique organization. It
has absolutely no constitution or by
laws, no dues or conditions of mem
bership. It Is a loosely put together
organization, which can easily shift
its viewpoint or change its policy with
the growth and temper of the people
making up the membership for that
particular year. It began its exist
ence under the Southern Educational
Board, which pays all the bills, and Its
President for sixteen years was that
remarkable merchant of New York
City, Mr. R. C. Ogden. ,He was one of
those unusual men who can see not
only the future in his own business.
but also the future in other lines of
activity. It has been the policy of this
movement not to dictate what any
meeting should' do, but merely to help
the groups that "get together" to find
themselves and solve their own problems.

LESS DYSPEPSIA NOW
vJ-i
-HERE'S THE REASON
., The fact that there is less dyspepsia and
indigestion in this community than there
used to be is largely, we believe, due to the
extensive use of Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets,
hundreds of packages of which we have
sold. No wonder we have faith in them.
No wonder we are willing to offer them to
you for trial entirely at our risk. ,
- Among other things, they contain Pep
sin and Bismuth, two of the greatest diges
tive aids known to medical science. They
soothe the inflamed stomach, allay pain,
check heartburn and distress, help to digest
the food, and tend to quickly restore the
stomach to its natural, comfortable,
healthy state.
There is no red tape about our guaran
ty It mean in&t what it savs. Well ask
you no questions. Your word is enough for
us. If Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets don't re
store Vour stomach to health and make
your digestion easy and comfortable, we
want you to come back for your money.
