Writer Commends Manning For Public Spirited Letter Editor Palladium: Being a subscriber and constant reader of your paper, I have been reading with much interest the farmers' letters you have been publishing, and must say that the letter of U. G. Manning, published a few days ago, is certainly one worthy of commendation. If all of us. no matter what our vocation may be, would enjoy our work and live for the good of our fellow men. as does Mr. Manning, things would be much different. But so long

t e cUC itUellU mill yvo win nuiiv more than the other fellow, just that long will we have shortage of raw materials and finished products. And so long as there is a shortage of materials, just that long we will have high prices on all articles. Public spirited men, as Mr. Manning proves to be, are the kind of men we need .in every walk of life, and the kind we especially need in our state vnd national legislatures. G. M. ARNOLD, 2302 North D Street.

advantage. Our bank is prospering and the demand for loans is keeping up. Land Values at Modoc OERL JOHNSON, of the bank at Modoc Land is probably 50 per cent higher than in pre-war days and one farm has just exchanged hands at $225 an acrf. Leonard Baling was the buyer. Considerable land has been sold from $175 to $200 per acre since the advance set in. Hardly expect our farmers to cut down plantings, though there may be fewer hogs fed. Think . hogs already pretty well marketed, as we shipped actively before the holidays and in January. WILLIAM THOMAS STEERS, cashier First National.

and a farm was sold recently at $2S0 per acre: it was fine tobacco land. There will be a number of changes of tenants on March 1. As to reduction of acreage, farmers who are dissatisfied with present live stock prices may feed less, and in view of labi roblems many will like

and cultivate less land

Inquiry for new tobacco at 16c and some little has been sold at ISc I am told. There is a great demand for money and interest rates are firm. Money in Demand at Lynn. O. J. PIERSOX, Banker at LynnThere is a large demand for money, one that we are hardly able to supply. Several farms will be transferred here on March 1. mostly sold last summer, and none sold of late. There are usually a lot of changes among the

tenant farmers and this spring will . see considerable shifting, most likely. : Some plan to cut their acreages and i will also feed less hogs, they tell us, but this is not the general idea. It. ; depends on how the farmer is fixed to : handle his land, in spite of hired help ! being scarce. Oats w ill take the place ' of wheat, which was cut some last fall ,

though there will be some transfers , March 1, and a few changes in tenants. Hogs in light supply, but j many marketed and shipped early. J Hogs must advance or feeds decline if j farmers are to continue to feed ! liberally. Demand for loans so great ; that it is hard to supply the funds

now. Outlook at Economy JOHN MANNING, cashier of the bank at Economy Rather expect that our farmers will plant every acre they can handle Vlth the help available and to rotate as usual. Not many farms celling just now, though one was sold the other day at $150 per acre, by Everett Broder. There will be a few farms transferred on March 1, and some changes in tenants, a3 usual.

to $273 per acre, and possibly higher. There will be many changes in tenants March 1, perhaps a greater number than usual. No talk of cutting crops that I have hoard. There will be an increase in corn and oats because of what has happened to wlieat. Some may raise fewer hogs, can't say as to that, but most are planning to farm and raise live stock as usual. ALLEN RIDGE. Fountain City Regarding the Orville Rich sale, the 26 acres brought, around $7,000, the place being well improvrd. Earl Odell was the purchaser. The Sam Ball place, a fraction over 2G acres, was recently sold to John Freeman at $200. The buyer sold his own 40-acre rlace at $223 per acre a short time since. Transfers at Williamsburq. WILT. LEWIS, of the First National at Williamsburg Farm loans are in demand and we have so far taken care of our customers. We have occasionally borrowed from the 'Federal Reserve, but not recently. The government is inclined to favor farm loans and to discourage loans for speculative investments. Several farms have been sold in our vicinity and three are being trans

ferred today, for instance: Clarence J

Pitts farm to Geortre W. Hutchinson: i Enos C. Veal to Charles Study, and William Cooner to W. R. Bogue, with others to follow by March 1. Have heard no talk of cutting down planting. May add that there has been more changes in ownership of town orooerty than in any year in my recollection Will Plant As Usual JOHN CHENOWETH, cashier Farmers Bank. Losantsville Our farmers are an industrial and sensible lot of men, who usually farm to the limit and are likely to do so this year, though possibly some will curtail feeding operations, owing to live stock

prices. Quite a few farms have been sold, some at double the prices asked in 1913. Believe the winter crop of hogs pretty well marketed. Don't think farmers will buy so much commercial feed In future, unless prices drop, but will feed what they can grow to best

have plenty of funds for good

Many farmers are looking for men and

there is work in town. Three crops of 1918 tobacco are moving this week at 22 cents per pound, but many are still holding for more money. Not to Cut Acreage FIRST NATIONAL, Hagerstown There will be a number of farm transfers on March, 1, with usual number of changes in tenants, presumably Haven't heard of any proposed cuts in acreage, think farming operations will go on as usual, regardless of market prices. Money is in demand and Interest rates firm.

Mr. James Ratcliff, a prosperous farmer near Radley, Grant county, Ind., twenty miles from Muncie, gives the following signed statement for the benefit of the public: "I made a special trip to Muncie today to tell about what this new medicine, Dreco, did for me and to get some for a neighbor of mine. This Dreco has almost saved my li,fe. For years I've suffered from eczema. I'd itch and scratch all night long; sometimes I'd get clean out of bed and sit in my chair for there was no rest lor me. "My stomach was also out of order, and my food did me no good but bloat me up with sour gas. I was very bilious and my entire system was run down. "I've taken two bottles of Dreco. and I want to say that even the red spots on my body where the eczema used to be are gone. I sleep all night long in peace; no more itching, scratching; no sitting up. in chairs as before. My stomach digests my food without causing gas to form; my liver has been cleaned off; in fact I'm in fine shape again and I give all the credit to Dreco, the great root and herb remedy." The blood has to be cleared of poisons to get rid of eczema. No better medicine for this can be obtained than Dreco, which is made of the juices of roots, herbs, barks and leaves, which act on the vital organs and tone them up. All good druggists now sell Dreco, and it is highly recommended in Richmond by Thistlethwalte's drug stores. Advertisement.
