HAVE DANCED. NOW

rAT HUULtn, SAYS FARMER TO TOWNS

Opinions of fanners on the agricultural and industrial situation follow: ROY E. SMELKER, New Paris. O. I am one of the many farmers of this neighborhood that will be forced to decrease production of food supplies during the coming season, because of inability to get help. I believe I can make more clear money and do less vork, myself and not have to bother or worry about any hired help. A neighbor of mine tried this plan last year 'and it worked like a charm.

If city folks really realized the importance of agriculture, they would devote more time to the study of this subject than they do to Latin. They 'realized Its importance when the Ger,man submarine peril was at its height. They will realize its importance more and more during the next few years. Why is there a sugar shortage? Be- , ause the production of sugar cane and t ugar beets has been a losing game for the farmers. Hundreds of Louisiana frugar cans planters went bankrupt early in Wilson's administration because of ruinous legislation. Town Life Attracts. For 20 years people have been leaving the country and going to town. They all go for the same reason; phorter hours and more money. This movement will continue until in a few years city folks go hungry and ragged, because there are too few producers cn the farms. A friend of mine planted an apple tree, cared and protected it for six 1 years. Took the first bushel it produced to town and sold it to the grocer for $2. The grocer retailed them in less than 24 hours for 10 cents a

i.rnfit nff of that nnnle tree in one dav

than the farmer had in six years. If the retailer earns the 10 and 15 conts a dozen he charges for handling fggs, the farmer ought to have at least $2 a dozen, if he gets as well raid for his work. Retailer Is Gouger. The city retailer gouges the producer and bleeds the consumer. He refuses to handle many of the farmers' products, unless he can make at least lOO profit in a few hours time. At present he offers me eieht cents a t ound for popcorn that he retails at 24 cents. A few years aeo I lived In a citv s'hout half the size of Richmond. There wasn't a grocery in that town lliat would sell you an honest neck of potatoes and e-ive you full weight, that you were entitled to by law. One of Hie leading procers of that city said Miat an honest man had no business trying to run n grocery store. That , if. a grocery d'dn't get rich while the war was on. he never would. On with th dance! You citv folks rniov life while you can. but remember! those who dance must pay the fiddler. Farriers Arn Oroanlzlncj. Tlie old line politicians in North Dakota hnve hee.r kicked overboard and ihe farmers a -e runninsr the state house, frori n-rrt to foundation stone, nomine cc . r Vcp. here In Ohio the farmers li.'V balance of power In the htato VH(Wyrf) and run the show to suit thenselves. The PF.lvat!n of th farmer defends

o. le:irti"r' to srratch his ticket on 'er-iion dav. As long as he brags that b votes his ticket straight, he doservtr. no sympathy and will get rno relW. There are plenty of farmers of both parlies that would vote their ticket straight (and brag about It) even if there was nothing on them but yellow goods and billy goats. Exchange handshake for Knife. Just before election the city politician comes out with a hearty hand-f-hake and a cheap cigar and then puts the knife Into Friend Farmer during his entire term In office. Organized labor is going into politics. Yes and organized farmers are going into politics. For every vote that Labor casts for many candidates, farmers will cast 10 against. I have always been a Wilson man and am proud of it, but Wilson has not given the farmers a square deal. I believe that the farmers of good old United States of America will select and elect for the next president a man who understands that agriculture is the life blood of our nation, that without it the streets of your city

and all other cities would grow up in weeds or be covered with desert sands. Hats off! Governor Low den, of Illinois, the next president

FATHER DIES; 81X CHILDREN ARE SICK WITH INFLUENZA SULLIVAN, Ind., Feb. 24. John Swaner, age 39, a farmer living three miles' south of Sullivan, died Saturday of influenza. His six children are all critically ill with the disease and his mother, 80 years of age, fs also a victim. The widow is attending the seven stricken members of the family. Many of the Swaners' neighbors are bedfast with the same disease.

Judging from the countless preparations and treatments which are continually being advertised for the purpose of making thin people fleshy, deeloping arms, neck and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and angles by the soft, curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinness-. Thinness and weakness are often due to starved nerves-. Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained in modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this deficiency so well as the organic phosphate known among druggists as tltro-phosphate, which is inexpensive md sold by Conkey Drug company and aiost all druggists under a guarantee of satisfaction or money back. By ieeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cell? with the necessary phosphoric food elements, bitro-phosphate should produce a welcome transformation in the appearance ; the increase in weight frequently being astonishing. Increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of energy, which nearly always accompany excessive thinness, should soon disappear, dull eyes brighten and pale cheeks glow with the bloom of perfect health. CAUTION: While Bitro-Phosphate is unsurpassed for the relief of nervousness, general debility, etc., those taking it who do not desire to put on flesh should use extra care In avoiding fat-producing foods.

EDWARDS INVADES

9. S. FROM AUSTRALIAN

Lew Edwards, the lightweight I

champion of Australia, who Is now in this country, intends to make searching inquiry into the matter of Benny Leonard's weight before he consents to meet the champion in the ring. Edwards is a small lightweight He can do 130 pounds if necessary. Benny Leonard may meet Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight champion. The ambition to fight Mike O'Dowd is not a new thing with Leonard. Long before he became champion Benny wanted to mix with bristling Mike. After he won the title he insisted that he could take Mike into camp. W. R. Sheehan, representative of William Fox, movie producer, is on his way to Paris after the signature of Georges Carpentler to fight Jack Dempsey in the United States either July 4 or Labor day. At Fox's office, it'3 said the European heavyweight champion has accepted the ofer of $250,000 and a split of the receipts.

Connie Mack's batterymen will head the parade of major league players to the training camps in Dixie. They will leave Philadelphia next Friday, Feb. 20, for Lake Charles, La. The regulars will follow a week later. Al Demaree has discovered that the distance he must travel from the majors to the minors is quite a trip. Demaree goes from Boston to Seattle. Cleveland teams have trained at New Orleans in 14 of the last 18 years, and the 1920 team will also do its conditioning in the Crescent City. No tether team has stuck to one training camp so consistently. Ray Demmitt, one-time Yankee and a member of the St Louis Browns for the past two seasons, is not to be a member of the St. Louis club In the Icoining campaign, according to reports from the Mound City.
