MESSAGETO WEAK, NERVOUS, RUN DOWN WOMEN We venture to say there isn’t a woman who at some time or other does not get into a weak, nuervous, run down condition, without energy or ambition, or who hasn’t a delicate, ailing child, or perhaps a feeble, aged parent. It will interest every such man or woman to know that the medical pro session has for some time been recommending dietic treatmeM for such conditions, rather than medicine, and nt last science lias produced SUSTO Nutritive Tonic Tablets which contain in a concentrated form the life-giving and strengthening elements of yeast, rice, eggs, milk with beef protein, nuclein. and iron that is lacking in our daily diet, to overcome such conditions. SUSTO has been tested and aproved at one of our greatest American Medical Colleges by a Professor of Physiological Chemistry, and after months of experience with SUSTO he says: ‘‘ln all cases of a general run down system .or in convalesence SUSTO played a very important part in stimulating the appetite and in creasing body weight. In every in stance where under-nourished infants and children were given SUSTO. im portant body-weight increases were registered. A notable case is that of ;> bov of eleven, who had been under weight, for three or four years in spiff of the best medical and dietetic treatment. The feeding or SUSTC produced a gain of six pounds in three months.” Therefore, we feel very confident that our customers can And nothing better than SUSTO for the ailments for which it is recommended. If you try it for one month and do not feel better in every way. we will return your money. For sale by Smith, Yager & Falk. At present three members of the Library board and the librarian.

4-4- + + * + ** + + *** + + b THE TIMES AND A TRACTOR « 4-*** + * + + 4>4-* + ** + + An invention that bids fair to mechanically revolutionize farming, .hereby placing the American agriculturist upon a higher plane where greater possibilities wait and increas id profits are assured. At a time when counting costs is he greatest question amongst the farmers of this nation, and at a time is the past has never been kuown to show a smaller margin of profit on the right side of the farm ledger, we feel that something must be done of an expeditious character, and done inimedi itely if we would save the agriculural industry of the United States rom ruin and despair. America in he past has held a striking lead over ill other nations when it comes to ng•iculturei and in order to maintain hat lead we must have just legisla ion and sharp restrictions placed >pon the various in-be-tween manipuaters, whose object has been mainly o create a speculative barrier be ween the producer and the consumer if these various products of the farm n order to minimize the overhead ex>ense of operation the farmer must liligcntly work to a higher plain, or standard of computing labor costs, or 'n other words lie must consider the Aliy and the how of the movements intended to bring forth a profit from .he labor he has expended and the effort put forth to get ahead. As a 'lass we know' that there is some‘liing radically wrong and that we lave lost two billion dollars through bo shattering of the structure of world trade. Politically speaking, iven the least posted of us knowhat politics have played a very small >art in the bringing about of this scrims depression—while jt is true the political leaders of today will be of Treat and lasting service during the reconstruction period, yet the fata! climax of these times was a direct afflictive afterproof of the world’s war and therefore unavoidable. If we is farmers would gain back some of •be severe losses experienced in 1921 we should look for a better farming iysteni and keep in closer touch with the soil than ever before. What nature provided in the early stages ot agriculture (to produce good yields of crops), must now be provided through artificial means of fertilization. There is no question about this. The facts are pre-eminently true and the longer we resent these recreative soil building lements, just that long we will be found in the “also ran” class where the grindstone ceaseless ly grinds, and the hot winds of public opinion attend to leveling us with the unskilled and non progressive Neolithic man of the dark ages, who were content with an occasional “snatch crop.” So much lor the application of chemicals as a means to greater production. Now wo come to the mechanical which plays the greater part in our agriculture. Without machinery agriculture would yet boa comnipn drudgery and unattractive to those who would bring this profession up and hold it as the supreme fundamental of our social and economic existence. Machinery as we have it today is the compelling force of medern achievement, and the last word is the arrival of the farm tr ie tor. Farm power is the creation of a medern civilization and if we would attempt to thwart its purpose our futqrc well-being would be seriously affected, and yet it is true vast numbers are trying this very sort o fthing, perhaps unintentionally, but quite effectually. It has been my experience while engaged in the selling game covering a period of over ten years), to find thgt when the average man is I a?i roqched v.ith a new device intend-1 ed for his good, the incentive is to . ward condemning the thing from the: first. This should not bo. We owe | our progress largely io the expqr- j inieffter—the other fellow, who was. willing to take a chance for us, then'

it should behoove us to investigate I the other fellow’s proposition and it possible give it a trial. As we look buck to the early days of the automobile we well remember how people, farmers especially, hurled their defiance at the thing with striking fury, thereby delaying the object and its usefulness for many years. But it I camo in spite of this opposition and today its position has been established and no one would consent to do away with it. So It is with the farm tractor now. You hear words of opposition from the farmers at every hand, but. why? Surely not because its usefulness has bion exaggerated or its ability to function where the horse has long j been used as a power unit, has been misrepresented. The writer's experience with a: Fordson farm tractor has been most i satisfactory in every way. This trac-; ter should receive more consideration from the average farmer than it really does because of the fact that Mr.) Ford has always kept quality in mind when building a machine for the farm, and besides this he was the first manufacturer in the great tractor world to recognize the distressing plight of the farmers at this time and therefore reduced tre price of his sturdy flexible power plant to a price that the farmer can pay. Ford has done 1 more to meet the tillers of the soil half way in this crisis than any con corn on the American continent. I "Hats off,” boys, to this man who I would make a sacrifice to American! agriculture. The following table is an accurate ' account of comparison as worked out on our farms last year—l92l. Tractor vs. horses. Fuel expense for tractor. $21.50; repairs, nothing (new machine); depreciation on tractor tor the year, $75. Total expense. $90.50. Horse Expense—Hay, two tons at ,S2O per ton, S4O; grain feed, ten quarts per day, at 63 cents per bushel, $69.87; horse shoes. $3.00; horse depreciation, $10; harness repairs, $2; Total, $104.87. This amount multiplied by three number of horses used), $314.61. We believe the time is coming when the tractor will be found on all farms of eighty acres and over, and on many smaller ones. J. D.
