How Farm Production Is Geared to Demand -■ — r £ 4 SINCE the_discovery of petroleum, the per capita production of wheat in the United States has more than doubled, and this in the face of a constantly decreasing percentage in our farm population. The products of petroleum have been largely responsible for the increase. In 1850,90 percent of our people lived on farms; in 1919 only 33 percent of the population was listed as rural. In 1850 the per capita production of wheat was 4.4 bushels, while in 1919 it was almost 9 bushels. On the farms of the Middle West —the bread-basket of the nation—the gas engine is best known. And here this engine is plowing, seeding, and harvesting oy the square mile instead of by the acre, and it is doing the work better, quicker, and cheaper than it could be done by horse-power. These engines must have gasoline, and they must have oil, both products of petroleum. That is why the U. S. Government declares that “petroleum is a basic necessity, as much so as wool or wheat”. The manufacture and distribution of gasoline, lubricating oils, and other petroleum products, have been developed to a high degree of efficiency by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). This organization, trained by years of experience to anticipate unheralded conditions, has been able to foresee and prepare to meet problems, which, unsolved, might have proved disastrous. Even transportation and other troubles in allied industries have failed to make an appreciable interruption in the steady flow of products from the refineries of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) to the consumers of the Middle West.

COMING OF NIGHT NO LONGER HOLDS OLD TIME DREAD

Mn., Adama Sleeps Better Than She Has For Years Since TakingTrulwuu —-—-- Terre Haute, Ind., June 7.—“1 no longer dread the coming of night as I used to, and it’s all due to Trutona,” says Mrs. Agnes K. I Adam?, who lives in Terre Haute, 'at 1504 South* Fifteenth Street. | “My stomach had been in such I wretched condition for about five • months, that even though I ate a 1 few bites of toast and drank a ' little water,' I would become bloated and suffer from gas formations. This caused me much misery. I simly couldn’t sleep at night. I’d feel as tired of mornings as I had the night before. I dragged about many days, trying to do my work when I felt as though I’d drop in my tracks.’’ “Well, it wasn’t long after I began taking Trutona that I noticed a marked improvement in my cohditioh. .I’m able to eat a nice big meal now, and it doesn’t hurt me afterward. I haven’t had a pain around my heart, and that bloating misery from my stomach i$ not nearly so bad now. I simply can't say enough in praise of Trutona, when I think of the relief it is giving me.” Trutona’s healthful action reach- ’ es evety portion of the body, and performs its work faithfully and efficiently. Trutona rebuilds diseased nerves and tissues, creates a healthy appetite, and assists in the assimilation' and digestion of the food. Trutona is sold in Rensselaer at the Larsh and Hopkins drug store.

PROMISES TO STOP GAMBLING IN SUGAR SALES

Attorney General Palmer late yesterday made public details of an agreement negotiated with eastern sugar refiners whereby speculative resales are to be eliminated. • This, it is believed, will keep the price of sugar within bonds by getting it directly into the hands of the ultimate consumer without speculative profit taking along the line. The sugar committee which cooperated with Herbert Hoover, food administrator, during the war, has been reconstituted, and will co-op-erate with the department in hnait‘ing margins of profits to both wholesalers and retailers. Officials were assured they would have the support of this committee in running down cases of profiteering, hoarding, or market speculating Mr. Palmer said.

He said that the farmers in this county are especially fortunate in having capable leaders and officers who have shown a disposition to cooperate in the movement. The county board of directors will name a representative who will be in active charge of the membership drive to be put on in this county. He is to have the asistance of a State organizer to work on the uniform plan, as outlined by the State Federation. Mr. Reid said that each township in the county, participating in the membership drive, will hold a meeting at least ten days prior to the date set for that township’s drive. At the township meeting the plan and purpose of the drive will be explained by the county director of that township and committees will be appointed to, make house to house campaigns. It has been, decided that each team shall consist of at least three members. In order that every farmer be reached, the committee will Keep an accurate list of all new members, men . not at home and men who refuse to join. s ' Mr. Reid said that the member,ship drives under the uniform system have cost but 27 %c a member, whereas in many of our neighboring states, under • a different plan where results were not so good, the costs have run from SI.OO to $1.50 a member. He was very enthusiastic as to future of the organization in this State. Although less than one year and one-half old, he said that 86 of the 92 counties in the state have farmers’ associations * affiliated with the Federation and that there was every indication that one hundred per cent organized before the second annual convention, to be held in November.

CHURCH BEGINS MONEY CAMPAIGN An intensive campaign to raise ten thousand dollars will be begun in a few days by the First Christian church. A preliminary effort is being made at this time. The church bulletin for last Sunday said, “If you think this church cannot do a big thing in a big way* just watch the progress of the campaign to raise SIO,QOO. In fact $5,000 is already in sight and we expect from six to seven thousand dollars in black and white pledges in the next ten days.” The purpose of this fund is to pay off an old indebtedness on the building, make some needed repairs, and pay for the recently purchased parsonage. In about two weeks a drive will be made to raise the full SIO,OOO.
