COUZENS' FARM EXPERIMENT IS RULED FAILURE Two Brothers Discover They Can Not Operate by Senator’s Ideas. EiU United Press PONTIAC, Mich., March 22.—The two practical fanners who undertook to farm the 774-acre estate of Senator James Couzens, near here, getting their rent free and their taxes paid, have given it up because they couldn’t make a go of it. Such is the surprising finale to a unique experiment in practical farming that has been watched with great interest by the farmers and agricultural experts. It was ebgun eighteen months ago when Senator Couzens chose Prank and Mark Williamson out of more than a thousand applicants to take over his farm and convert the everincreasing losses into an appreciable profit. Both boys were well equipped for the job. One of them, Prank, had been raised on a farm and graduated from Michigan State College. The other had been a practical farmer all his life. Falls to Last Five Years The experiment in tenant-farm-ing so great an estate as this was to last five years. But an auction sale of the stock and equipment put on the estate by the Williamson brothers is to curtail this agreement by the end of this month. Yet this test was by no means a failure, if the word of either party to the deal is accepted. Senator Couzens, previous to this agreement, figures he had been losing as much as $35,000 a year in the operation of his estate, which he calls Wabeek Farms. Under the Williamson operation, however, he reports the boys cleared about $3,000 in their 18 months there, and all it cost him was SB,OOO in taxes and the rent he might have collected for the use of the farm. Not Faying Business But it was not a paying business j proposition, and the boys look upon the venture as impractical from the i viewpoint of farming.

MR. 11. C. GENTRY mgs of health over the body in general. But Konjola is especially beneficial to that most abused organ—the stomach. Among the latest to indorse this medicine to the public is Mr. H. C. Gentry, 714 East New York St., Indianapolis, who gave the following report to the Konjola Man at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., this dty, who is personally meeting the public and explaining Konjola to large crowds every day. The statement of Mr. Gentry reads as follows: “I am glad of this opportunity to testify as to the merits of Konjola. After trying all kinds of remedies, which failed to give me even temporary relief. I feel it is my duty to say a word for the medicine which restored me to health. “My trouble was caused mostly from the condition of my stomach. I suffered untold agony after eating my meals, as my food did not digest and a hard rock would seem to form in the pit of my stomach. I was forced to go on a special diet for j everal months. My appetite became very poor and at times I would have to force myself to eat. “After doctoring for a long time without results, I ntegan to look around for something else which might give me relief. Konjola was suggested to me by a friend and I started taking it. It gradually began to relieve me, altho it worked very slowly. I realized that my condition was of long standing and therefore decided to give this medicine a fair trial. I have now taken several bottles and can truthfully say that I am eating most anything and do not suffer afterward. The diets, which I formerly used, are a thing of the past. Gas does not form any more and I never bloat up like I used to. The heavy feeling has entirely disappeared, my appetite is wonderfully improved and I am no longer short of breath. It has made anew man of me and I certainly recommend it lo my friends.” The Konjola Man is at Hook’s Drug Store, Illinois and Washington Sts., Indianapolis, where he is daily meeting the public and introducing and explaining the merits of this remedy.—Advertisement.

Passengers on the S. S. Duilio praised Hazel Wylda of New Orleans, as a heroine as the ship docked at New York.

show-place not far from Pontiac and only 25 miles from Detroit, situated on a main highway. “We haven’t failed in the operation of Wabeek Farms,” Prank Williamson declares. “And the relations between the senator and us are of the best. “But Senator Couzens wants his place kept up as a showplace and we can't afford to pay a force of men to have this done. We have farmed the farm as farmers, not as millionaires.” Those Curious Tourists “We have worked the farm with six regular tarm hands and a much larger crew during harvest time. The force of men we have had could maintain any good farm of this size. “But we can’t keep a staff as guides for interested spectators on the estate, and make money.” The main argument against this experiment, as advanced by Prank, is its over-capitalization. The Williamson brothers say they invested, about $!7,500 in cattle, sheep, hogs, horses and equipment for the tarm. They had an estate of 774 acres to work, 500 of which are tillable. When their property is disposed of at auction, they believe they will have operated the place at a profit, although they are reluctant to put this at the figure set by Senator Couzens. If the boys had had to pay refit and taxes, however, they would have lost between $15,000 and $20,000 for the eighteen months they operated the farm, in the belief of cne Senator. Now speculation is rife as to what Senator Couzens will do with his farm. At present he refuser, to give it any attention, at least until Congress adjourns. “But I will never attempt another such plan,” is his conviction.
