An Old Man’s Stomach. As we grow older and less active, less and less food is required to meet the demands of our bodies. If too much is habitually taken, the stomach will rebel. When a man reaches the advanced age of 85 or 90, you will find that he is a light eater. Be as careful as you will, however, you will occasionally eat more than you should and will feel the need of Chamberlain’s Tablets to correct the disorder. These tablets do not contain pepsin, but strengthen the stomach and enable it to perform its functions naturally. They also cause a gentle movement of the bowels. C

Receivers are prohibited from unloading any carlods of poultry and buyers are "prohibited from purchasing any poultry where excess feed exists.” WALLACE * HERATH C. E. PRIOR

The Neighborhood Corner.

A Department of F*r*n Welfare Conducted by County Agent Stewart Loaming. Seed Corn Supply Listed An importnat step was taken in the solution of the Seed Corn problem at a conference held last Thursday morning at the court house and attended by about 30 prominent formers and bankers of the county. W .D. Littlejohn, representing the Department of Agriculture spoke qf the general situation in the county and suggested that there still might be fields in the county containing good seed corn if it were properly cared for. After an informal discussion it was decided that Mr. Littlejohn should spend three days in examining fields of the county and in listing those fields from which seed may be secured. Messrs. Chas. Postil, R.''A. and George Reed volunteered their time and automobiles for this service. At the close of she inspection the following men were listed as being able to furnish seed:

Brook, Indiana, George Heoferlin. Goodland, Indiana, John Eck. Remington, Indiana, Moses Sigo, Harvey Zinser, John McLaughlin, George Hensler. Monon, Indiana, James Blankenship. Pleasant Ridge, Indiana Wm. Dunlap. Rensselaer, Indiana, Ralph Moore, Sam Holmes, Thos. F. Murphy, H. W. Jackson, Lew Hooker, Albert Duggins, Thomas Eldridge, J. J. Hunt, David Bare, Joe Trulley, James W. Amsler, Dr. J. H. Hausson. While this does not mean that these are the only men who can supply seed and does not guarantee the subsequent handling and storing of the com it serves as a guide for those who will need seed for next springs planting.

These fields have a total acreage of about 750 and are estimated to contain enough seed to plant one’ourth of the usual acreage of the county. Probably a like amount of seed has been saved previously. It is evident that under the most liberal estimates, there will not be enough seed to go around and the man who must purchase should attend to the matter as soon as possible. “We cannot expect to maintain our high standard in regard to fancy joints in seed ears this year,” said Mr. Littlejohn “but every one must lave seed that will grow. Much depends upon how the corn is cared for from now on as to the stands we will get next spring.” Any farmers failing to secure seed suitable for planting are requested to report to the County Agent.

o—o Chas. Schleman of Marion township attended the Indiana Angus breeders’ sale at Logansport and purchased two of the top heifers of the offering. These heifers are of the Erica and Jilt tribes, two of the most popular Angus families. Mr. Schleman has the foundation for a good herd of “doddies.” Frank Keene of Jordan township recently purchased a Polled Hereford bull in Pulaski County and is ooking for a few god heifers to found a herd. Heavy cattle feeding operations in Jordan have created a demand for first class animals and numerous pure bred herds are being established. Smith Bros., of Gillam township will exhibit at the International the Hereford bull calf, which won first place in the Jasper county Breeders show last October. John R. Lewis will make his annual exhibit of Hampshires?

o—o . Farmers’ Club The North Union Farmers’ club will hold its regular meeting at Virgie, Saturday evening, December Ist. The Gillam Farmers’ club has prepared a special program for the next regular meeting to be held at Independence Church, Wednesday evening, December sth. Rev. J. Budman Fleming, of the County Council of Defense will be the principal speaker. The quartette has prepared special numbers and all are invited. The Parr Community Club will hold its regular meeting next Thursday evening, December 6th. “How to keep the boys and girls on the farm,” and beef production” will be two of the topics discussed.

The first of the series of Saturday afternoon meetings to be held at the Court house under the auspices of the County Better Farming association will be addressed, Saturday afternoon, December Ist, by Mr. C. Henry of Purude. The subject “Food Conservation” is a vital question of the day and everyone is invited to attend. Similiar meetings will be held at two o’clock of the following two Saturdays. o—o Hereford Breeders To Meet Secretary O. S. Bell, has called a meeting of the Jasper, Newton Counties Hereford Breeders’ assoiation to be held at the Court house, directly after the Food Conservation meeting next Saturday, December Ist. Arrangements for the representation at" the International will be made. Reports of the special Committees will be submits ted. o—o Jasper County First Since the names of owners of fields of Seed Corn in the "county have been listed, there has been a steady influence of I farmers from adjoining counties to purchase this I seed. If this continues our county I will be. a loser. There is but one way to stop it and that is for our corn growers to buy their Seed Cora NOW. o—o The Poultry Show Mr. Martin Sauser, president of the Jasper County Poultry Associa-
