THE TWICE-A-WEEK DEMOCRAT

AND NOW THEY ARE COOKING TOBACCO TO MAKE IT BETTER

For a good many years The American Tobacco Company have been conducting a series of experiments having as their object the improvement of smoking tobaccos. J And it is interesting to know that one of the greatest of their discoveries was one of the simplest, and that was, that cooking or toasting tobacco improved it in every way, just as cooking most foods improves ’ them. They took a real Burley grown' in this country; toasted it as you would toast bread; moistened it to replace the 1 natural moisture driven off by toasting; l made it into cigarettes, called them 1 "LUCKY STRIKE, the toasted cigarette,” and offered them to the public. The result has been the greatest demand ever created for any tobacco product in a similar length of time. The change produced by toasting is not only most wholesome, but the flavor is greatly improved, just as cooking improves 1 meat, for example.

Sam Karr hauled a load of the dredge for F. R. Erwin with his tractor Wednesday, consisting of the boom, which is very heavy and hard to handle. Jake Spitzer and family of Gary came down the latter part of the week to visit home folks awhile. Jake has been under the weather for some little time, so is trying to recuperate. It is reported the signal block maintainer at this place had his car loaded pretty hbavy a few days ago, when it jumped the track, threw him off and cut him up pretty badly. He was taken to the 'hospital. ” The weather is just about as changeable as ever. Monday the roads were good but Tuesday the bottom had about dropped out and at night it tightened up again. Such is very hard on the wheat and rye. Thursday morning it was down a few degrees below zero again.

OUT OF THE GLOOM. Many a Gloomy Countenance in Rensselaer Now Lightens With Happiness. A bad back makes you gloomy. Can’t be happy with continual backache. The aches and pains of a bad back Are frequently due to weak kidneys. Doan’s Kidney Pills are recommended for weak kidneys. So Rensselaer citizens testify. Mrs. J. J. Norgor, Majhewson Ave., Rensselaer, says: “We have used Doan’s Kidney Pills in the family for a long time and they have kept us in good health. I used to suffer from frequent attacks of kidney disorder. My back got stiff and lame and ached so steadily that it tired me out. When I tried to wash, the leaning over caused almost unbearable sharp twinges in my back. Doan’s Kidney Pills have driven away these symptoms of kidney trouble and (have made me well and strong.” Price 60c, at all dealers. Don t simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that Mrs. Norgor had. Foster-Mil-burn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y. — Advt.

Sir Charles Parsons, who has been experimenting for over thirty years'upon the production of artificial diamonds, will shortly lecture at the British Institute of Metals on the result of his labors. He has ■probably more inventions to his credit than any other living Englishman. The turbine king—for the modern turbine in its application both to merchant ships and warships is the work of Sir Charles — took off his coat some forty years ago as an apprentice in the great Armstrong workshops.

Seed Corn Situation. The tabulated resulta of the Jasper County Seed Stock and Labor committee show that the farmers expect to plant 63,946 acres of corn as compared with 79,644 acres reported for last year. For this there are 8,269 bushels of seed on hand, while farmers estimate 9,503 bushels will be required. There were 2,034 bushels for sale at the time the survey was taken and 3,238 bushels to be bought. The net shortage in the county is given at 1,204 bushels. Members of the comttnittee believe that a greater shortage will be found after all seed is tested, as many did not realize the condition until after the survey was made. The next step of the committee, after the testing campaigns, will be to locate good seed to make up the shortage. This will be under the direction of the State Leader, who will place our farmers in touch with other comimunities which have a surplus. State Leader Henry has Issued the following statement in regard to the condition in Newton, Jasper and White counties: “Your district and the district around Indianapolis has a greater shortage at seed corn than any other part of Indiana. I am afraid we will have to bring corn for your counties from somewhat further south in the state. There is no doubt but what we can get it, or rather there is no doubt but what we can get com of a little later maturing variety than your men have been accustomed to growing. However, there is considerable early maturing corn to be found in the southern part of the state. This corn was brought from northern Indiana and Michigan last spring and used to re-plant the flooded district following the June floods. There may be enough of this corn to meet all northern Indiana needs. I think it would be well to urge upon your men to use a later maturing corn this year for their silos, saving as much early maturing seed as possible for the general crop.” Prominent Livestock Man to Speak John S. Schwab of Purdue has been added to the list of speakers who will appear on the program of the annual meeting of the Jasper County Better Farming association March 2. Mr. Schwab has done excellent work in swine production and his work will appeal to men. Other speakers will include a representative of the Bureau of Plant Industry, Prof. Myers and Clarence Henry, who will deal with organization work. The meetipg will be held at the court house and will begin at 1© o’clock, lasting all day. A war pro* gram for increased crop production will be formulated at this meeting.

Farmers’ Clubs The North Union Farmers’ club will hold Its regular meeting at Virgie Saturday evening, March 2. Mr. L. ®. Harrington has. arranged an unusually attractive program which will include an address by C. Henry, state leader of the government seed stocks survey. . The club is thriving and Invites all to share in the good things that it provides. The Kniman Farmers’ club will hold a county institute at the Kniman school house Saturday, February 23, beginning at 10:30 and continuing throughout the day. Prof. F. G. Gaylord of Purdue will concuss “The Farm Garden;” Mr. R. A. Conn "Profitable Dairying,” and Mr. I. F. Meader will tell of his hog feeding demonstrations. There will be plenty of music by the Kniman Glee club. The Gillam Farmers’ club will hold its regular March meeting at Independence church the evening of March 6.

The Farm Labor Problem “Where are we going to get help this summer? is the cry of the farmers of the state. With the high wages that must be paid for skilled labor, many farmers are turning to boys for assistance. 135 farmers in this county have signified their intention to use boys this summer if they can be secured.” Dr. Stanley Coulter of the Boys’ Working Reserve states that he believes he can supply this number for us. “Our ifarmers are appreciating the value of the boys now much more than they did last year,’’ said Dean Coulter. “They realize that most of these boys are energetic and intelligent and that a little time and patience will make very useful workers of them.” Try the want column of The Democrat for results.
