A Call to Duty.
From the battle fields in France
there comes an unspoken call that
gijould nnd an answer in every
American's heart. The recent great
events In Europe, the successes of
American arms on the fields of
'France should spur every American
to greater effort.
Our people at home should not rest
on the laurels of our soldiers in
honor in the line of duty and for our
country's cause should be a call to us
'.for every sacrifice and every exertion
.to aid the cause for which our sol
dicrs are fighting, for which our sol
diers have died.
Increase production, decrease con
sumption, save, and lend to the Gov
ernment. Every cent lent to the
United States is used to support,
strengthen, and aid our soldiers in
France.
Retired Miners Return to Work!
Realizing the country's need of
coal at this time, about 150 miners
in a single field who had retired
from service on account of their age
have voluntary agreed once more
to take up the implements of th$
mine and, in spite of the infirmities
of age, to do their part once more.
For the most part these men will be
employed by the Mercer Iron & Coal
Co., at Stoneboro, Pa., where they
formerly worked.
A large number of these men had
been able to set aside sufficient to
maintain theb in comfort during
their declining years, but feeling
they were not fit for military service
chose this way of emphasizing their
loyalty to the country.
About That Machinery.
This is the year when every piece
of machinery ought to be usfd. In
stead of looking for more hands, look
for more wheels. Take advantage of
the machinery you already have, too.
You may be growing additional
crops thi3 year that could be cared
for with ol.d machinery you have on
your farm. If you are trying to
adjust the machinery you 'have to
the present-year needs you may have
the assistance of a farm machinery
expert. The Division of Agricultural
Extension, University of Tennessee,
Knoxville, has as one of its special
ists a man who understands ma
chinery. He knows how the ma
chines you have may bo adapted to
the needs you find thi3 year when
you have been readjusting your
farming methods to meet the war demands.
Steel, now described a3 the "most
precious metal," will be conserved
for war purposes. Production of
American mill3 will be applied only
to essential' uses, according to an
announcement made by the War In
dustries Board.

Grow More What.
Wheat should be grown in add!
tion to the other crop3. V
There is greater need than ever
before to economize human labor.
All unnecessary operations should be
eliminated and machinery should be
employed where possible to save la
bor. Larger machines may be op
erated by one man. Four-horse
teams may often replace two-horse
teams, one man doing nearly twice
as much as before.
Labor may be economized by. co
operation among farmers. In many
cases where farmers usually grow
only a small acreage of wheat,, which
is all they can seed or harvest, they
could grow more by exchanging' la
bor ahd machinery wjth their neigh
bors. One of the very best ways of
economizing labor is to prepare to
do all work in the proper season.
Select Potato Seed at Harvest.
Usually the seed potatoes are se
lected from the general pile in the
opring, about the time to plant po
tatoes, but the best time is to select
them when one digs the potatoes.
Look carefully over your potato
lot and put down a stick at each' hill
that looks promising when the pota
toes have made their growth. Then,
when digging time comes, dig these
hillo separately, noting tho hills that
have the largest number of good
.average size pt tatocs. The3o tubers
have shown a stronger virility and
hardiness than the others and .will
make a larger yield of good sized po
tatoes in next year's crop.
This is much better than the old
way of selecting large potatoes from
tho pile at planting time. The yield
can b.o greatly increased in a few
years by hill eclection.
Thore is no more valuable work on
the farm than the careful selection
of seed. To grow tho largest yield
at the least expense is important.
This is where our profit 1b made.
Thru the Mill.
"Old man, you look all played out.
You need a vacation."
"Had one," responded tho other
nan briefly.
Hopeful Scheme.
"We want you to bo treasurer of
our club."
"I am honored. How much have
you in the treasury?"
"Well, wo have a deficit Just now,
which we thought .perhaps, you
would make up."
Pays To Advertise.
There was a men, not'wondrous wise,
Who said ho wouldn't advertise.
His register, it told the talo.
The key most used announced "No
t Sale."
Your action need in such a case.
Ho took some advertising space.
Ho got results. Now blitho and gay

CONSTIPATION
And Soar Stomach Caused Thii
Lady Much Suffering Black-
Draught ' Relieved.
Meadorsvllle, Ky. Mrs. Pearl Pat
tick, of this place, writes: "I was
Terr constipated. I had sour stomach
and was so uncomfortable. I went to
the doctor. He gave me some pills.
They weakened me and seemed to
tear up my digestion. They would
gripe me and afterwards it seemed
I was more constipated than before.
I heard of Black-Draught and de.
elded to try It I found It just what I
needed. It was an easy laxative, and
not bad to swallow. My digestion soon
Improved. I got well of the sour stom
ach, my bowels soon seemed normal,
no more griping, and I would take a
"dose now and then, and was In good
shape.
I cannot say too much for Black.
Draught for It Is the finest laxative
one can use."
. Thedford's Black-Draught has for
many years been found of great value
In the treatment of stomach, liver and
bowel troubles. Easy to take, gentle
and reliable in Its action, leaving nc
bad after-effects, It has won the praise
of thousands of people who have used
it ' NC-135
