Keeping the gums healthy and the mouth sweet is very important to health: more teeth are lost through the loosening of the tissue that holds the teeth in place than from decay. Dental science to-day demands that a tooth paste must keep the gums healthy as well as ciean the teeth. Senreco was formulated to meet this requirement. Hundreds of dentists are prescribing and using Senreco because they have found that it does measure up to that standard. SENRECO IS A WONDERFUL CLEANSER. In addition to its remedial properties Senreco is a wonderful cleanser; acts directly on the mucin film, the basis -of tarter; leaves the mouth cool and clean-feeling. As some one has expressed it—Senreco gives one a new idea on mouth cleanliness. Get a tube to-day at your druggists or toilet counter—enjoy the healthy, cleanly feeling its use gives your mouth and gums. Notice how brilliantly white Senreco makes your teeth. It performs this two-fold service for you and yet costs no more than the ordinary, old-fashioned tooth paste that simply cleans the teeth and leaves a pleasant taste—

Items of Interest to the Farmers of Adams County. Junior Corn Champion Tells How He Grew Crop. Homer Crandall, a 16-year old student a vocational. agriculture in the high school at Mt. Summit, is th” new corn club champion of Indiana, lie produced 142.27 bushels oil one measured acre which was a part of a seven-acre corn field. This yield was surpassed by one club member, Dorothy Baker of Lyons, Greene county, who harvested 143 bushels on one acre.. Horney won on a cost ot production and a higher grade in record. and story. The cost of producing his 142.27 bushels was $42.25. which includes a charge of-$21.34 in loss of soil fertility. He had 102.27 bushels worth $61.30 and 40 bushels of seeds worth S2OO. I fir. profit not •minting prizes was $219.11. Homer won $15.50 in prizes at the local show and as winner in district two and state champion, he won the SSO trip to Chicago, Madison and other AVisccrisir. points, given by the state board of agriculture. Homer has an interesting story- to tell, which follows: “Last year the vocational agricultural class of which I am a member 100 k up the subject of crops and gave especial attention to corn production. We studied reasons for the low yields generally being produced and this interested me to try my hand just to see what could be. done by observing correct practices. Incidentally, i wished to grow more and bet•er corn than my father. “I chose my acre in new ground which was in corn last year. The coil here was loam underlaid with a gravelly sub-soil giving it good drainige. I plowed six inches deep, dragged and harrowed the ground before planting. The corn was cultivated three times.” “The practical points 1 learned in . growing corn were the value of gatting good, pure seed testing 100 per ; cent., proper tillage of the soil, proper fertilization, and desirability of having good, drainage. “Next year (1921) I have planned to plant my corn in narrow rows, to use fertilizer, which I did not do this year, to attempt to raise my yield from 142.27 bushels to 150 or. greater. I further plan to use the ear-to-row method to see if I cannot develop a strain of corn better than J have at present. “The fact that several members of the corn club produced more than 100 bushels to the acre this year shows the value of club work and vocational training. "I have enjoyed this year's experience very much and intend to join with more interest next year.” Many remarkable fossils of extinct animals have been found in the Bad Lands of Dakotas. The oaaia of Farafeli on the Lyblan dtsdrt in Africa contains several ruins of Greek and Roman origin.
