Rev. Parker Moon

Nearly everybody In Southwest Missouri cither knows or has heard of the Itev. Parker Moon, who for a full half century has devoted his life and talents to Sunday school and organization work for the Society of Friends or Quakers. "Uncle Parker' as he Is more familiarly known, came from line old rugged Quaker stock, and there Is not a better known or more highly respected citizen In that part of the state. In referring to his remarkable restoration to health by Taidac, he said: "About live years a'o I suffered & general breakdown. My principal trouble was nervous Indigestion. My appetite was very poor and my food seldom agreed with mo, and I had to live on n very restricted diet. I suffered a great deal from headaches and dizzy spells; I had severe pains across the small of my back and was badly constipated most of the time. In fact, I was so weak and rundown I was not able to attend to my duties. This condition made me very nervous and I could not sleep at night. Frequently I would lie awake most all night and was In that condition more or less for five years. My physician said he could not do anything for me and suggested a change of Stomach on Strike 20 Years Estonia Settled It! "Eatonic is wonderful," says C. W. Burton. "I had been a sufferer from stomach trouble for 20 years and now I cm well." Eatonic gets right after the cause of stomach troubles by taking up and carrying out the acidity and gases and of course, when the cause is removed, the sufferer gets well. If you have sourness, belching, indigestion, food repeating or any other stomach trouble, take Eatonic tablets after each meal and find relief.

climate. I then moved to Texas anfi went back and forth three times, but did not get the relief I had hoped for. Finally, I got so bad off I was not able to get around with any degree of comfort. I was also told I had heart trouble. "I had read about Taniac and, as it had been very highly recommended to me, I decided to try It. I got a bottle and had taken only a few doses until I could notice a marked improvement in my condition. I noticed especially that I was not troubled any more with sour stomach after eating, which was a great relief. "I kept on taking Taniac until I fully regained my health. My appetite is splendid; I enjoy my meals and I do not find it necessary now to tako any laxative medicines of any kind. I can sleep much better and am not nearly so nervous. "I take great pleasure in recommending Taniac to anyone who needs a good system builder, or who suffers with stomach trouble. I have recommended Taniac to a great many of my friends and am pleased to reach others by giving this statement for publication." Taniac Is sold by leading druggist everywhere.

FIREWOOD MAKES GOOD GASH CROP

Farmer Can Make His Farm Pay Substantial Profits by Producing Fuel. USEFULNESS OF MACHINERY Modern Apparatus Not Only Cuts Wood and Standing Trees, but Is Used for Various Other Purposes About the Farm. (Prepared by the United States Depart- . ment cf Agriculture.) The farmer's problems appear, all of a sudden, to have become the leaddk national problem. Congress is talking of little else than legisration aimed to help the agricultural interests. The bankers are busy explaining why they can't lend the farmer tlu cash lit needs. The plight of the farmer is the chief topic of discussion in railroad circles and among business men at all the big markets. Farmers themselves are organizing everywhere to force the prices of their products up to a point where selling will not mean a loss to them. Meanwhile? what the individual fanner needs is not talk, but cash. Certain things he must buy right along for himself and his family. lie can't wait for the national debate to. run down. In this situation farmers who arc hard pressed for cash may be overlooking the fact that all around them "money is growing on the trees," pnd the crop is just waiting to be picked. This is almost literally true. In other words the farmer can harvest another crop his timber. All over the country thousands of farmers are turning to this immediate source of Modern Machinery Reduces Hand Labor ?.n Filling the Woodshed. cash. I", money value, firewood ranks as America's sixth crop. Government statistics show rank of crops in this oider: Wheat, corn, cotton, hay," oats, firewood. Money in Producing Fuel. With one of the practical, low-priced power log saws now on the market, the farmer can make his farm pay substantial profits by producing fuel a commodity that has held up well in price and for which there is an almost unlimited demand. Then, too, there Is always a steady market for ties, fence posts and timbers that can easily and quickly be cut with these lightweight, portable machines. In this way the farnwr, with little work or expenses, can realize good profits and still hang on to his grain and live stock if he wants to, until prices get better. On nearly every farm In most seccions of the country there Is timber In more than sulllrient quantities for fiom use. There are live tre s that need to be taken out to give room for younger ones to grow, or to clear the land for cultivation; there are dead trees that an allowed to decay; and on thousands of farms, the banks of rivers and cnks are lined with great logs and other drift wood. For many years the farmer has been Interested in, and has readily accepted, machinery that would save him time, labor and money. Now he Is seizing upon a machine that actually makes money for him as well as saving him time and labor. Those who have used the 1121 Improved model log saws say thes machines come near to being perfect sawing outfits. They do the work of ten to fifteen able-bodied men cut down trees and saw up logs and branches of any size at an average cost of about , 14 cents a cord. Cutting 3.' cords of wood Is nn easy day's work, and It Is possible to cut as much as 50 cords in that time. Machine Cuts Standing Trees. One of the most popular log saws mnkes over 300 strokes a minute, and its en sine pulls over four horsepower. This particular machine cuts down standing trees, too. ly attaching this clever device, trees can be cut down with the level of the ground, so there will be no stump, or h'shor up. as desintl. Hy attaching a circular saw the outfit Is quickly turned into a buzz saw. which rapidly z!p up limb and branches, those prrt of the tree which usually go to 'vaste. vet which produce fully onethird of the wood.

HOG-PROOF GATE IS HANDY ARRANGEMENT

Cattle and Horses Permitted to Pass at Will. Two Low Fences, About 18 Inchct Hißh, Serve to Keep Swine In . Their Own Pasture Other Animals Can Step Over. A farmer usps this arrangement to keep the hogs In one lot, while allowing his cattle and horses to pass unrestrained into another pasture. The gate was removed from the hinges, and the space from post to post was boarded up solidly to n height of 18 Inches from the ground. About IS Two Low Fences Across the Gateway Will Stop the Hogs, but Allow Horses and Cattle to Pass. inches" from each gatepost, inside the lot where the hogs were confined, a short post was driven., Long boards nailed from one to the other of these posts made another panel of board fence, IS inches high and parallel with the boarded-up gate, with an lS-Inch space between the two low walls. When a hog comes to this detached panel, it will go to the end and pass round into the narrow passage between the two board walls, continuing on through and out at the other end till It tires of the performance. One that is short enough to turn in the 1Sinch passage is too small to jump or climb over the boards before itr and one that cannot turn Is unable to fa'c the wall and make the attempt to climb. All other stock, except small calves or colts, will step over the low walls. No wide cracks, offering footholds, should be left between the boards. II. F.

(Prepared by the United States Department of Agriculture.) In choosing a farm one has the options of buying with the intention of operating the place as his entire business, buying a small farm and renting enough additional land to meet his needs, or renting a farm either on the share or cash basis. One's choice in the matter Is usually determined by the funds available. If one has. only a small amount of capital and wishes to undertake farming as a business from which to derive his entire income, he should, In nearly all cases," begin as a renter. However, If he wishes to buy a farm on which to llw, deriving a part of his income from other sources, then, possibly, purchasing is desirable, even If capital is limited. Whatever,, course Is followed. It is highly desirable that one thoroughly understand the basic principles governing the farm business before deciding some of the finer points. A disregard of these basic principles is re sponsible for a large proportion of farm failures. A man may unconsciously work all his life against some economic barrier when success would have been com paratively easy if he had selected a farm where the economic principle would aid him instead of working against him. AGRICULTURE A NATIONAL PR03LEM A sober national thought with regard to the importance, the absolute necessity, of a sustained agriculture in this country is imperative. There is, perhaps, no single solution for the situation which the farmers are now facing, but there are many steps which can be and should be taken to place our agriculture on a more satisfactory basis and to stabilize the business of farming, not In the interest of the farmers alone but in the interest of the nation as a whole. The matter Is of such tremendous importance to our entire population that it should be recognized everywhere ns a national problem and (b-.ilt with as such.

NOT A "TRENCH" OF BAYONETS True Story of Famous Incident at Verdun, Which French Bravery Has Made Immortal. The scaffolding has now been taken down from the monument over the famous "Trench of the Bayonets" at Verdun which President Mlllerand has Inaugurated. But the term "trench" is a misnomer. The true story is this : Fifty-seven survivors of two Breton battalions were holding the line there, not In a trench, but in a series of shellholes, nearly regularly spaced and plijmed. The men were so packed that when any were wounded they were unable to fall down, while for security they held their rifles, with fixed bayonet?, in the air. During the whole of June IX, 12 and 13, 191 G, a terrible artillery duel raged round them. Caught between the French and German barage fifes, one by one the men died, while, the bursting shells burled them under waves of torn-up rrcnnd. When the scene could be visited all that remained was a line of bayonets protruding from the ground. Continental Edition of the London Mali. Unexpected Reply.
