The apple that never! was picked I

NOW that the winds of winter have bared the trees and their limbs make silhouettes against the sky, if you walk into the country you may see it—the apple that never was picked. Withered and shrunken, its bloom departed, it hangs upon a barren branch —a tierelict of nature. In the autumn the tree was heavy with fruit. The schoolboy took his toll, picking the apples that were nearest, or climbing the sturdy trunk to capture the prize that looked the biggest and the best. Then the farmer came with his pickers, his baskets, his ladders, and limb by limb the tree was stripped. Yet deep in the foliage there remained one apple. The sun had reached it and colored it a bright and beautiful red. It was cool and plump and. rich with juice—an apple to desire. But none desired it because, none saw it. Hanging upon an obscure branch, it was hidden from the view of pilferers and pickers alike—and they passed it by. The apple that never was picked is a cousin of the product that is not known. If you go into a store at inventory time, you will find

THE U. 8. LIFE TABLES Washington, D. .lan. .'lO—The department of Commerce, through the Bureau of the Census, announces that the second ,tn< ia puhi'ac. of life tables, derived from blr.fn, deaths and populations in thi- country Is soon to he Issund. Thej.i tablou -how codltlons as th- exlstM in is: o. In 1901, and in dr,is m.ittlvr, in pna sible to study the changes which have taken place in mortality during two decades. It Is shown that morta v y at practically all ages is higher among men than among women, in particular it appears that the most favorabln mortality in this country is found among women living in the rural dis tricts. Tlie rural classes, regardless of sex. enjoy a much lower mortally for nearly the entire range of life than those living In the cities. .While the expectation of life, both among met: and women in most classes has stead fly increased, there is no indication oi any definite lengthening of the spar of life. In other words, while almosi all classes of persons are living to ai older ago, the limiting of human lit does not seem to have advanced. ■ — # WHERE WINTER AND SUMMER MEET There is an automobile circle trip out of Denver that takes the traveler from temperate to Arctic climes within a few hours, calls for an overcoat in the middle of summer and affords opportunity for the picking of wild flowers in among the snow banks. s—s—s— WANT ADS EARN—S-—s—s AfigAt As Wdl Eat Spoiled Food A# Put Good Food Into a Sour, Fermented Stomach. Free Mamplo Package Sent on Request. There is one pleasure that come* three times a day every day In th# year to those blessed with good appetite and good digestion—the pleasure of eating. But how vastly different it Is when appetite is strong and digestlon'so weak that .the best loved dishes are pushed aside uneaten. When Dr. Jackson formulated his now famous Digestive and Diver Powder he became the friend and benefactor of these unfortunates for all time. This powder loses no time In preparing the weakened stomach to digest such foods as are put into that organ by ordinary folk. It sweetens it, banishes or neutralizes the gas. relieves the heart of the diaphragm's pressure, rouses the liver, regulates ths bowels, restores restful sleep and lays the foundation for renewed strength.

this prdouct there on the shelves, its brightness dulled by the dust of the months, its freshness faded hv long waiting for a buyer. Since its coming the shelves of the merchant have emptied and tilled and emptied and tilled again, but the product that is not known still lingers and languishes—a derelict of trade. Nature willed that the apple that never was picked should grow upon an obscure limb behind a screen of foliage. It had no voice to call out that it was there. It had no words to proclaim its ripe sweetness. Consider now the product. II could have spoken its name in the very ears of the people as they sat in their homes. It could have made that name instantly familiar to the shopper who scans the windows of merchants. Il could have told in stirring words the story of its goodness. It could have created desire and the will to buy. For there is a voice that speaks the merits of worthy products to the minds of the people—a voice that is ’round the world—the voice of advertising.

But pu yourselves in the place of these starv iiig ex-service men; they went inti tills in 1917 and 1918, through lovt of country and flag, even as you am 1, but under their present circum stances can they still keep faith, witl our noble officials in Washington? No Wo blame Russian and other foreigi countries for shipping their extrerm radicals to the United States, when they are continually stirring up trou ble.

Battery A. 139th Field Artillery! Al) members of the above organization who received their discharges at Fort Banjamin Harrison, look over your dis charges carefully and see if the date of your enlistment reads August 5, 1917. If it does, bring your discharge to the next meeting, so that we may send them to Washington, D. C., foi correction, for in nearly all cases your enlistment should be from April or May, 1917. Take care of this at once, as it will raise a question in case the government bonus bill is passed. The get-together meeting of Adams Post, No. 43, and the Ladies Auxiliary ast Monday evening was a success. While the attendance was small, the good spirit was there. The following committee was appointed to proceed with the reorganization: Mrs. Joe McConnell, Mrs. Charles Langston, Mrs. V. J. Borman. All old members ire cordially invited to renew their '922 membership in the Ladies’ Auxilary to Adams Post, No. 43. Nineteen Twenty-two Dues —How ibout it Buddy? You may have forgotten it. We haven’t. In union here is strength. We cannot hope to be very successful in winning the bo ms if we don’t have a strong organisation to fight with. We want you with us. There is plenty of work to be done, even in Adams county, as well as in the state, so don't be a slacker. You have sixty days of grace from January Ist to renew. Your weekly Legion Magazine will also be discontinued at this time. The dues are only $3.50, less than one cent a day. You spend ten to fifty times this amount foolishly every day in the year ,on which you derive no benefit at all. We want 200 members this year.

I only want to know how the canaries lost their tails.”— H. P.. Idea. Have you paid your 1922 dues? You have met them: The people who fail because they are afraid to make a beginning. Who are too honest to steal, but will borrow and never pay back. Who woul dlike to reform the world but have a front gate that won't stay shut. Who go to bed tired, because they spend the day in looking for an easy thing. Who join an organization and then knock it, within six months, because they haven’t been personally benefited by it. —H. .P. Idea. Have you paid your 1922 dues. #

BERNE NEWS Funeral services for Mrs. Lydia Zizor, who passed away Tuesday morning, after one week's illness from pneumonia, will be held Friday afternoon at 1:30 at the Christian church in Linn Grove. A surprise which was successful in every respect was held for Miss Agnes Sprnnger Monday evening nt the home I of the Liechty sisters on North Jeffer-I son street. The affair had been arranged by Mrs. William Schenbeck and Mrs. Edwin Nyffler, who had invited the neighbors for a gathering in honor of Miss Sprnnger, who intends to leave next week for Africa where she goes as a missionary. Ono of the best backetball games ever played in Berne was played last night when the Fort Wayne Athletics defeated Berne 35-30. The score was tied six times and the lead was two or less fourteen times. The next game played here by the Berne Independents will be played Thursday when they meet the Montpelier Independents. Yesterday was the last day for farmers to bring milk to the Libby. McNiel & Libby condensory and over 17,000 pounds of milk came in. On Monday over 27,000 pounds were received at the condensory. Various reoorts have been current during the 'ast few days regarding new enterprises to care for the farmers’ milk nipply. Jesse A. Schug was elected as new ’.own marshal at the meetings held Monday and Tuesday evenings. Hugo Beitler, who was elected town marshal last fall, tendered his resignation to the board, which was accepted. From a list of four applicants the board elected Jesse Schug. Since the first of January, Sam Tleitler, deputy marshal, has served efficiently as marshal. Dr. D. D. Jones was again appointed city health officer for a period of four years, he being the present officer. Arthur Byron, the four months, old son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Habegger, died early this morning at the Lutheran hospital at Fort Wayne. The child had been operated on yesterday, pneumonia developed, which caused death early this morning. Funeral arrangements have not yet been made. Mr. and Mrs. Chris Gilliom, Mrs. Abraham Lehman, Mrs. William Rawley and Mrs. Dan Winteregg went to Geneva this morning to attend the funeral of William Peel, who died at that place Saturday night. The Gillioms and the Peels had been neigh-

How the Man in Maine Buys Oregon Apples COMMERCE lives through the interchange of products. California fruits are sold in Maine. Shoes made in New England are worn on the Pacific slope. Automobiles from Detroit traverse the Florida sands; the North smokes Southern tobacco. And so it goes. Advertising has played an all important part in fostering business growth. Without it we would retrograde half a century, or more. Business would stagnate; large institutions which build cheaply by large production would fade into oblivion; we would live in total ignorance of many things which might add to our wealth, health and happiness. The bread and butter of business depend on advertising, and your interest in it. Read the advertisements in this paper. They will be as productive of results to you as to the companies that pay for them. In half an hour, or less, you can metaphorically. visit the progressive stores in town—the various places that supply the things that go to make life what it is. Read the advertising. It enables you to get more for your money by telling you what, where and when to buy. It is your daily guide to what’s good to get. Read it—reflect on it—it pays

• What Did I pay forthem? Cuofihr ietn So fon &^ e forgotten • • It’s a good memory that a pair of HOOD Red Boots cannot outwear. And wear is in our | \ |L# opinion about the first consideration in selectmjl ing a boot. At least, other things being equal, (J I the boot that wears the longest is the one that gives permanent satisfaction. Besides wear there is one other outstanding HOOD feature, and that is comfort. HOOD Boots have been made for twenty-five years, and we have never in that time ceased to improve them where improvement was possible. One result is that all reinforcements are placed with scientific accuracy —not slapped on indiscriminately—and this means extra wear without clumsy weight—or comfort at the end P / pyx of a long day’s work. Ask your dealer what he CJCTTZZ thinks of HOOD Boots—and look them over for the, for yourself. -HOOD- V 4 HOOD RUBBER PRODUCTS CO., Inc. Buying A Watertown, Masi.
