A SUGGESTION TO FARMERS
Where farmers are close together,
it will frequently happen that more
progress will be made by having the
neighbors join together in the work
of cultivation. Frequently, i farm
work begins to grow a little monot

cases, if two farmers will put their
forces together, work on one farm a
day and on the other farm the rext, a
new spirit will frequently come over
the workers. The hoes and cultiva
tors will move forward faster as each
man sets out to keep the pace set by
the best workers, and yet when the
day ends everybody will feel a little
less wearied than usual, simply by
reason of the fact that he has gotten
out of the rut and has had his spirit
refreshed by the song and jest and
friendship which have enlivened the
day.—The Progressive Farmer.

MORE SMALL ARMS FOR
EXPEDITIONARY FORCES
German timidity before American
pistol fighters armed with American
.45 caliber automatic pistols has be
gun to bring about a change in the
equipment of the American Expedi
tionary Forces by the War Depart
ment, and the Ordnance Department
is rushing production of these wea
pons. About 3,000 are turned out
daily and production is increasing.
The impression exists that a shot
from an American .45 takes a man
out of action completely. Men hit
from the smaller German pistols fre
quently continue in action effective

the United States Army in 1911.

R ) demonstrated the value of the
N Long Distance Telephone to
us. He was at Huntsville, Ala., and upon
his own responsibility put in Long Distance
calls for fifteen merchants within a radius
of several hundred miles.
“In less than one hour he had sold 2100
barrels of flour at a total cost to .us of less
than six dollars.
“Since then we have applied the Long
Distance Bell Telephone to every feature of
.our business with most profitable results.
The service is fine, the rates are reasonable
and there is more satisfaction in one Long

letters.”’
