Corn Planter accuracy is essential to the biggest yields. An inaccurate planter covers up
its mistakes. ' It does hit-and-miss work. It is a "thief in the field" and you don't realize
how much it has stolen until the corn plants .are above the ground and you compare the results
with those obtained by using an accurate planter. If it misses only fifteen kernels in every 100 hills there is a loss of
five bushels per acre in the yield. Yoi can get a planter the accuracy of which is proven before it leaves the factory.
That planter is the JOHN DEERE. We have them in stock.

the payment of $60 bonus to honorably
discharged soldiers, discharged men
desirous of claming the 'gratuity may
do so by sending in a "true copy" of

Heretofore the original certificates
were required, but it was found that
many soldiers refused to part . with
the papers, preferring to lose the
bonus rather than risk the loss of
official evidence of their honorable
release from the army.
All copies submitted under the
amendment authorized must be certi

WHY COLDS ARE DANGEROUS
You are often told to "beware of a
eold," but why? We will tell you:
Every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality and paves the way for the
more serious diseases. People" who
contract pneumonia first take cold.
The longer a cold, hangs on the
greater the danger, especially from
the germ diseases, asa cold prepares
the system for the reception and de
velopment of the germs of consump
tion, diphtheria, scarlet fever and
whoonin? wvwh.'. The quicker fov. get
rid of your cold, the less the danger of
contracting, one of these diseases.
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy has a
great reputation as a cure for colds
and can be depended upon. It ' is
pleasant to take.
