FARM HAND IS
HIGH MieS-LABOR.
A man who has made a million dol
lars says fn the February Farm and
Fireside:
“The average hired man of today is
a conundrum to me. I can't under
stand Uni. Farm' labor is the high
est "priced unskilled, labor in the
world* I figure that a man who is
paid<550 a month on our place is get
ting *100, counting rent, fuel, chick
ens, ,snd so on. Almost everything
that he eats ia raised on the place
and hosts him nothing. The average
man ‘in'town earns *2.60 or *3 a day
and doesn’t have to work every day.
Ha must pay for every bit of food he
eats., How much better off, there
fore, the farmhand is!
“Whist we need is a revival of th?
good -old-faihioned ideas that a man
must work on and save, that energy,
ambition, and nerve are what make
menvich, and nothi.ig else. Work
and save, work and save—that’s the
endless chain that takes you to suc-
qess.”

Thera may be much laaa suffering
from scarcity of food in Austria and

This .serious situation and the in

point 1 to one inevitable termination—
the defeat of the Teutonic alliance.

best tsnns they can get, or shall they
■truggle on until they are compelled
to make peace, meanwhile sacrificing
tens of. thousands of Uvea and piling
misery upon the miaery of million*
of thtiir people! If they were blessed
with the heart and conscience and
humanity of General Robert E. Lee,
they wonid make peace now. This ia

Whan .Lae surrendered the Con
federacy's soldier* and many of its
civilians were on starvation diet. The
Confederacy was throttled by the
blockade or its ports and the inwind-
ing of the Union lines. The food of
the interior plantations could not be
tranAorted. Flour was selling at
*1,60V a barrel (in Confederate cur

I
A TRUMPET CALL TO
THE BOYS OF AMERICA.
By George Ade.
This is to the fortunate ones who, ten years from now, will
be enjoying the benefits of what all future histories will call
the GREAT WAR.
You boys who are getting ready to vote will know more
about this war when you are plump and middle-aged than any
one can'possibly know this year.
When the dust has cleared away and the large events of
the war can be seen from a distance, then you will understand
that the issues involved had to be fought out, that the United
States had to take part, that the task we are now undertaking
had to be accomplished.
Let us hope that each of you can say, twenty years from
now, ‘‘I was young at the time, but I knew what the war meant,
and I helped.”
Not all of the heroes are in the trenches.
Perhaps you have heard about the Working Reserve.
It has been carefully organized under government super
vision. It has received the official endorsement of the Presi
dent. The whole plan is working out successfully wherever
it is understood.
The trouble is that some of the boys and some of the par
ents are still a little doubtful regarding enlistment, because
they don’t know how much of an obligation is assumed.
Here is the plan in a nut shell: Thousands of enlisted and
selected men have gone to the training camps. It may be that
thousands more will go next year. These men are being called
from factories and work-shops and farms. Every factory and
every farm must continue production if we arc to render full
service to our faithful allies during the war. How can we fill
the places of the young men who have gone away to fight?
We must rely upon the boys who are old enough and husky
enough to work, but who are still too young for military
service.
So here is a trumpet call for all city boys and town boys
between the ages of 16 and 21.
Prove your patriotism and help your country by jumping in
and doing the work of a soldier who has gone to the front.
The United States Boys’ Working Reserve is not being or
ganized for lads who have to work for a living.
Nearly every soldier now wearing a uniform could make
more money at home.
You are not asked to work because you need the money.
You are asked to work boeause your country needs your help
and relies upon you to chuck aside false pride and join in the
team work.
If your big brother can dig trenches surely you can plow
corn.
Go to the recruiting officer and enlist for the Boys’ Work
ing Reserve. Then, when you are called upon, go and make
good in the job assigned to you and win your medal and wear
it and be proud of it.
When the government began to organize this voluntary
service among boys, so as to meet the inevitable shortage of
man-power, the skeptics and fault-finders got busy. They said
that boys living in cities and towns never could be induced to
work on farms, that farmers didn’t want'to have the town
boys around because they would prove to be green or lazy or in
different, and the whole thing was a fool contraption.
Doesn’t your common sense and your knowledge of addition
and subtraction tell you that if we suddenly take 1,000,000
or more men right out of the productive industries of this
country, we must either find a million men to take their places
or else go short on production?
Arc we going to do as they have done in England—dress
the women and girls in men’s garments and put them to clean
ing the streets and making explosives and wiping up locomo
tives In round houses and doing all the hard menial tasks?
We musn’t como to that—not while wc have on hand a whole
army of young fellowA between 16 and 21, nearly every one of
whom has gone In for some kind of athletic sport and is physi
cally able and would be as mad as a hornet if you told him he
was a mama’s pet and not able to do a man’s work.
The boys between 16 and 21 can and will supply the short
age of man-power.
There will be a loud call for them in 1918 and they must
answer the call.

“LIBERTY MEASLES.”
According to information sent out from Washington, "Ger
man measles” has beefi wiped off the sanitary records of the
various military camps and ‘^Liberty measles” substituted.
Hanged if we can grasp the psychology of it.
If the measles were not ruthless, if there were a single
feature of liberty about it, we could see into it, but- the oppo
site is the fact. Such a low-down, contrary, ferocious malady
as the measles is properly named German. And why pollute the
term “Liberty” by such association? Gee! If the Old Boy
were called “German Devil,” wo wouldn’t name him “Liberty
Devil,” in order to take a crack at the kaiser, would we ?
Grandmother kept her hair beauti
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for “Wythe’s Sage and Sulphur
Compound,” you will get a large bot
tle of this old time recipe, improved
by the addition of other ingredients,
all ready to use, for about 50 cents.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wythe’s Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because
it darkens so naturally and evenly
that nobody can tell it has been ap
plied—it’s so easy to use, too. You
simply dampen a comb or soft brush
and draw it through your hair, tak
ing one strand at a time. By morn
ing the gray hair disappears; after
another applidation or two, it is re
stored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and beautiful. This pre
paration is' a delightful toilet
requisite. It is not intended for
the cure, mitigation or prevention of
disease.—Advt.
Whether you can afford to lend
your country $1 or $70 a month, you
will be a welcome recruit in Uncle
Sam’s great army of thrift stamp
and war savings purchasers. Your
interestr—or profit—will amount to
20 per cent at maturity. Show your
country that you’re ready to “go the
limit” by investing in this gilt-edg
security at once.
TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Back-
achy or have Bladder
trouble.
Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overwork! the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
rslievt them like you relieve your
bowels; removingi all the acids, waste
and poison, alse you feel a dull mis
ery in th# kidney region, sharp pains
in the back or lick headaches, diz
ziness, your stomach sours, tongue is
coated and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The
urine is cloudy, full of sediment; the
channels often get irritated, oblig
ing you to get up two or three times
during the night
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body’s urinous waste
get about four ounces of Jad Saits
from any pharmacy; take a tabic-
spoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and blad
der disorders disappear. /This fa
mous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined
with lithia, and has been used for
generations to clean and stimulate
sluggish dikn-ys and stop bladder
irritation. Jad Salts is inexpensive;
harmless and makes a delightful
effervescent lithia-water dnnk which
millions of men and woment take
now and then, thous avoiding serious
kidney and bladder diseases.
POSITION VINDICATE-
The Washington correspondent ot
The Atlanta Constitution recency
sent to his paper the following arti
cle, which is a vindication of Judge
Brand’s position that congressmen
did not vote to exempt themselves
from the income tax:
The Internal Revenue Depart
ment, through Commissioner Ro
per, has just issued an order con
struing the income tax act to'ap
ply to members of Congress,
stating that it is apparent that
the members of that body did not
intend to exempt themselves
while they were taxing other peo
ple’s incomes.
It will be observed that this
construction is identical with the
statement made by Congressman
Charles H. Brand, of the Eighth
District, to The Constitution up
on his return home during the
holidays. 'At that time Congress-,
man Brand’s brief^speech which
he made in the House in Decem
ber was quoted in The Constitu
tion, in which he stated that
nothing was further from the
purpose of Congress than to ex
empt congressmen from the op
eration of the income tar. law.
He expressed every confidence
that the Commissioner of Intern
al Revenue would place that con
struction upon it in ample time,
and stated that if he did not do
so, Congress wtrnld leave no
doubt as to its intention that its
members should be included in
income tax legislation, and that
if necessary additional legislation
would be enacted.
No Celeste, just because a man
•goes to all the Greenwich Village
balls, wears nouveau art neckties, and
collects queer candlesticks is no sign
that he is a deep thinker.

Getting Rid of Colds.
The easiest and quickest way to get
rid of a cod is to take Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. This preparation has
been in use for many years and Its
value fully proven. No matter what
remedy you use, however, care must
be taken not to contract a second cold
before you have recovered from the
first one, and there is serious danger
of this. A man of middle age or old
er should go to bud and stay inbed
until fully recovered. It is better to
stay in bed three days at the start
than three weeks later on. (Adv.)

Others are paying much less for

V HULLS S

and are making them as bulky as old style hulls by
wetting them down a half hour or so before using.
By adding an equal part of water to Buckeye Hulls and
stirring thoroughly they will swell and give you as bulky
a roughage as you want. Most important, the bulki
ness will be due to water which is of value to your cattle
—aot to lint which has no food value whatever.
Other Advantages
Buckeye Hulls go farther.
They allow better assimilation of
other food.
No trash or dust.
Sacked—easy to handle.
They mix well with other forage.
Take half as much space in the
barn.
Mr, Benjamin Thompson, Baldknob, Ark.,
is feeding Buckeye Hulls to stock cattle. He says
that he gets more food value per ton with less waste.
He has bought five tons and has them stored in barn.
He says that they occupy less space than old style hulls.
Ta secure the best results and to davelop the ensilage odor, wet the halls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wot down st least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old stylo bulls.

We, the undersigned Garages and Automobile dealers, have found it neces
sary to put our garages and service stations on a strictly spot cash basis, to
take effect February 15th.
Experience has taught us that this is the only way we can maintain satis
factory work. 1
The success of the department depends upon our ability to turn out the
work quickly and efficiently at small cost It is plain that a service station or
garage run under a large overhead expense cannot possibly do work at rea
sonable rates.
t
We cannot afford, therefore, to saddle on to our department the heavy
burden of maintaining costly bookkeeping and collection departments and
the losses from bad debts.
We refuse to burden our customers by charging high rates to make up
these big leakages. This will all be avoided by doing work for CASH ONLY.
We want you and every other customer of ours to accept this new ruling
in the spirit in which it is intended. Every one will, hereafter, be obliged to
pay’cash for work before his car is released from our shop.
