LANDLORD’S EXPERIENCE WITH GLANDO

Mr. Haushalter, the well known and energetic proprietor of the Hotel Paulding, Paulding, 0., said that for several years he had suffered from a sluggish liver, bachache and kidney trouble. He felt so drowsy and languid he could scarcely drag. He says “I had tried a number of kidney pills and liver remedies but found no relief until I used. Glando the Great Gland Tonic. It proved to be just what I needed. lam thoroughly convinced I would have been flat on my back if I had not used this treatment, but instead of being laid up I am feeling fine and looking after my business every day. If I feel any indication of my old trouble returning I take a Glando treatment and it puts me right.”

Mr. Haushalter was dying of selfpoisoning caused by an inactive liver. This weakened the kidneys and other glands of the body. If he had not found a remedy that renewed glandular activity and removed the poison his life would undoubtedly have paid the penalty. Glando Tonic is the only remedy of its kind on the market and its numerprooT value to mankind. It is sold by druggists or- will be sent direct by the Gland-Aid Co., Fort Wayne, Ind.

LETTERS FROM JOHN AND PAUL WORLAND

Dear Father and Ail: — . Your letter under date of 11-13-18, received yesterday, also one from mamma today -written the 9th. Your letters telling me of the premature signing of the armistice and.celebrations that followed did not surprise me. We ware expecting the end for over a monrhbeforeit came and several times it came but a fact it never-’’proved true until the 11th of November. Since peace is here the next thing that naturally takes to our minds is when we sail for the U. 5... A. Everybody agrees that we well leave real soon, but -the date set now is, Dec. 2<)th. That is we will leave for an embarkation port on that date. That is not official but only a rumor, but we have found rumors to come true. Orders have already come in to build crating for the company fixtures, and they are already built. At present we are still working in the shops but tomorrow we start drilling, which is the best indication to us that we leavesoon. Several companies of our regiment have already left for the Stat.es. 1 set Feb. Ist, 1919, as my latest arrival in Rensselaer.

We are leased to the French government and we expect to be released any day now, the sooner-the better for them, as we are doing very little since the armistice was signed, i he trench have already given us the tank insignia to wear, it is two cannons crossed with a helmet in the center of it. It is gold color and will be worn on our coat It is possible that they may give us a shoulder cord to wear. The tank insignia will be quite distinctive as we (our battalion) will be the only American soldiers to wear it. News is plentiful but 1 have lots of letters to answer so will close, anyway I want to save some news until 1 get home. Tell mamma I’m getting tihe paper right along which I appreciate very much. lam collecting pictures and a few souvenirs now and may send you some shells by mail soon. I will close now, hoping that this will be my last letter to you written from France. I am as ever your loving son, Sergt. John E. Worland, Co. 7, 2nd Air Service, Meeh. Reg. A. P. O. 702. P. S. A fellow just came in with an offer to bet that we would be home by Jan. 15th, 1919.

M. D. 16 F. A. A. E. F. Nov. 16, 1918. Dearest Mother: — It seems almost like years since the armistice was signed six days ago. It surely came as good news to me. It gave me a chance to get a rest that I badly needed hut the big thing that tickled me is the fact that the element of doubt has been removed about my return to the States. I am coming home. I don’t know when but I’ll get back now sure and perhaps soon. I have had some wonderful experiences and I will never regret, now that it is over, that I was with the fighting forces instead of some other branch of the service. We have been having freezing weather lately and that has made it very hard to write home. You must remember that I don’t have an office with electric lights in which to write. It is getting cold at home now. I wonder how many letters I would receive if the people in the states had to go set in their gardens and write in the cold. lam fixed about like that. Peace has occupied my mind, along with an anxiety to get home, that I can think of nothing else. I can’t write much feeling that way, so I will close. Lovingly your son, Paul H. Worland, Medical. Dept.

MERCHANT IS SLAIN BY A CHICKEN THIEF

Winamac, Jan. 8. —Albert W. Henry, 50 years old, a merchant at Medaryville, was shot and instantly kHled early today by a'stranger, who is believe^to have intended robbing a chicken house, at the rear of the yard of Mr. Henry’s home.

THE NEIGHBORHOOD CORNER

A DEPARTMENT OF FARM WELFARE CONDUCTED BY CO. AGENT BEAMING. poultry and Corn Shvw„ Thi* Week, entries of poultry and 81 samples of corn axe oemg shown at the Annual County Corn and Poultry ;>how being held in Rensselaer this wees.. Poultry Judge id. AJ Pickett states the quality of the oirds bn exhibition shows a marked improvement over that displayed at any other show ever held in the county. The quality of the corn is excellent Not only are the ears sound and mature, but me general average snows tnat a great deal of attention is oeing paid to the selection of the proper type. In tne last two years uic Wl\ ter has seen many cnanges in agricultural conditions oi the county, including wnoresale livestock improvement and tne general adoption of many advanced cuivural metnqds, but no cnange has been greater dr more grauiying tnan the wonderful improvement of the corn. In the spring oi 1917, as county director of a seed testing drive planned by Governor Goodrich, he had opportunity to come in close contact wit nthe seed in common use at that tune, much of which was of the large cob, shallow kerneled and slow mau tring type which in the short space of two\ years has given way to one of the most approved types found -in Indiana. Members of the County Corn Show committee and their township aids are to be commended bn the number of entries. In the recent White county show 36 samples were entered, in the Tippecanoe county show 29 were entered, and other counties report similar numbers. Marion townsnip led in number of entries, 17 samples being shown. Carpenter came second with 14 samples. The show make's it clear that the poultrymen and corn growers of the county are fully alive to their opportunities and are making rapid improvement in their products. Garden Plan*. Have you made your garden plans for next year? If not it is time to get busy so that you can determine now much seed you need and order it early. Sit down some evening soon with your family and put your 1919 garden on paper. How much of each vegetable are you going to plant? A mistake you may have made the past season was to plant too much of some vegetables and not enough of others. Provide for the needs of your family in the rows you allow for each vegetable. Have your last year’s plan in mind so that you do not place the crop on the same section of the garden as they were lust summer. Rotate your crops; that is, plan to put tomatoes where your cabbage was planted, and cabbage where there were tomatoes, and so on. plan to plant in rows rather than in beds; and do not make paths through the garden unless necessary. If your plot is large enough for wheel hoe cultivation, run the rows the long way of the garden. How should the various crops be grouped? Perennials such as asparagus or rhubard should be placed at one side; next to the mthe group of earliest vegetables such as early radishes, early peas, leaf lettuce or early turnips. Next groups that you will plant a. few weeks later such as onions, chard and cabbage, then the ones that you will plant when the weather starts to get warm, such as brush string beans; finally the rows of tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and squash. In your plan make provision for the sowing of companion and succession crops. Arrange your plan so that when one crop is harvested another vegetable can be sown between the old rows or new’ plantings in the space vacated. Do not be content to raise a single crop, when two or three

axe possible. It there is a variation in the soil in dierent parts of the garden, that must oe considered. itpart of your soil is higher and drier than the rest, plant your early crops there to give tnem the advantage of quick warm sod. Grow a large enough garden to supply you with Doth summer and winter vegetables. . . - Like* Silver King Corn. Robert leoman, oi Newton township, is an enthusiast over Silver King Corn, a variety which originated in northern iowa. This is a white variety characterized by a rather small stalk and medium sized ear, with an exceedingly deep kernel and small cob, giving an unusually high shelling percentage. Mr. Yeoman states that ne used tnis variety several years ago but lost the seed in some way or another. During tne spring of 1917, the writer was much interested in introducing this variety into the county to be grown on the lighter soil types and lower lands. Unfortunately the farmer who carried on the trial planted late and the early frosts proved disastrous. Enough was learned, However, to show the value of the variety and now that seed is abundant it is hoped that a number of farmers will give it a trial. To Study Cost Account*. How much does it cost a farmer to grow a ousnei of wheat, a pound of pork' What does a farmer receive for a day's wages? These are some of tne questions which throw real light upon the business of farming and which may De answered in this county next winter. Wood Brothers, of Marion township, have installed a system of cost accounting designed to determine the cost of production of each of the different ± arm products raised and the labor income of the farm operators. While this ims been done primarily for their own information, results are expected which will be of value to farmers of the county. It is very likely that a presentation of actual costs will do much to dispel the idea among certain classes of people that farmers are becoming immensely wealthy and that they are “profiteering.” . Want Better Marketing System. Chairmen of the Fountain, Warren, Tippecanoe and Benton county better farming associations met at Williamsport Jan. 6 and passed the following resolutions on the hog situation: “Whereas, there exists at present an intexerable condition in the matter of shipping hogs ready for market, because of the inability of the owners of such hogs to obtain through the prpoerly authorized local authority,} the shipping permits required by a>, ruling of the Food Admiinstration. i Therefore,- we, the representatives of he farmers’ organization of Fountain, Tippecanoe, Benton and Warren counties, in joint session, assembled this 6t hday.of January, 1919, adopted the following resolutions,; “First: Resolved, That immediate steps should be taken to relieve the situation in order that serious losses to all parties from the producer to the consumer may be avoided. • “Second: Resolved, That this meeting delegate two representatives to bring to the attention of the State Federal Food Administration the existing facts in order that necessary action may be expedited.” Home Economic* Meet*. The Newton Township Home Economics Club will meet Thursday, January 16, at 2 p. m., at the_home of Mrs. Benton Kelly. The following subjects will be discussed: Butchering, Home Curing of Meats, Canning of Meats, and the Cooking of Meats. Experts from the federal department of agriculture and from the war department will begin a series of experiments in the south in the effort' to utilize a powerful gas that was used by the American army in the war in Europe. The gas will be used in attempts to destroy the cotton boll weevil, the pink boll worm, cater; pillars, potato bugs and other inserts that ravage crops. -It is . said to be a byproduct of southern pine.
