Tke Farm and The Farmer By William R. Sanborn

According to Rome Shurley, the Question before the bouse down at Glen Miller yards last week was: What remedy would you Buggest to quiet the agitation and unrest among the farmers?" More than 100 shippers came In from day to day and every man of them got a chance to express himself. What was the answer? Well, it was the simplest lever. "It was agreed that sunshine, warm spring-like days, with balmy winds and warm showers as needed, would effect a cure. Every farmer, would quickly get on the Job. He would have no more time to lose; no hours for argument: he would start in with might and main to try to raise a crop." - In line with this reasoning was the decision of Ott Rich, who having received a perfectly good check for I1.C70 for all his rights and Interests in a sundry bunch of hogs then and there delivered, discoursed as follows: "I shall do as I have done In the past, that Is shall feed all the grain I can raise on a 300-acre farm, and buy what I am " short of from my neighbors. If I make any change whatever from my usual routine it will be to raise a bigger crop to improve the quality of my live stock as much as possible." Farmer Able to Pay. According to Mr. Rich the farmer "should have no trouble to get help, for he ia as able to pay good wages

as the next man. Besides the farmer lias so much improved, labor 6vlng

machinery available that he can do a whole lot more work with fewer hands these days, and do it up quicker: right when it nods to be rushed." Having

thus expressed himself he hied down

town to the bank and to do a utue marketing. "To tell the truth, many of our farm-" era are seemingly dissatisfied and more or less restless, these idle wintry days." says O. M. Kumler, editor of the Lewiburg Leader. "Many of them haven't been able to keep help and

others are unable to get help, with all

fhn snrlnr work rieht ahead. Some of

them don't feel able to do a whole lot of planting and are likely to decrease their .-creases on that account. And with less corn they are likely to feed

less lrnes and cattle. Some are in

clined to blame the boys for wanting

to make more monej in shorter hours and to enjoy towrt life but you can't

hogs every year, a car for January shipment and one- for July or August market, and plan to do bo this year." From Morning Sun, Ohio. The wheat isn't showing color around Morning Sun, according to J. E, Williams, merchant. "We can't see any wheat now and it will take sunshine and warmth to tell the story. The fields are not greening as yet. I thing our farmers will raise a good lot of hogs, will try to at least, regardless of market outlook, but some of them complain of losing some spring pigs owing to cold weather hanging on so long. "Our farmers are prosperous, are buying freely. Including Implements, am told, though these are out of my line. Can't say that they are making much of a stir as. to organization: haven't heard a great deal along that line. There is a shortage of labor here, but the farmers will do the best they can in the circumstances. Farmers, you know, are inclined to help each other out in a pinch, and to swop work. No tobacco is raised in this vicinity," Business as Usual. "Haven't heard anyone say they were going to cut out hogs because of low prices,, which seem to be on the upturn once more; in fact hogs have had quite an advance," said R. G. Beeson, of Bloomingsport. "Don't believe we are very short of farm help right around here, though some would be glad to get a good hand or so more. Guess they Will farm to the limit of the land they can care for. Yes, there has been some losses of spring pigs, can't say how many have suffered on that account, though, but, some have complained. Our business has been very fair; the farmers have" money to spend nd in the main, all seem to have done well. They will carry out their usual rotation and raise all they can, so far as they have talked In the store."

MAN WHO "ADOPTED" MARY GARDEN DIES IN FLORIDA CHICAGO, March 16. David Mayer, wealthy real estate man, who paid for Mary Garden's musical education, died yesterday at St. Augustine, Fla., according to word received here. Mr. and Mrs. Mayer took Miss Gar'den, then a young Chicago choir singer, into their home 20 years ago and ibegan her musical education. Later '.Mrs. Mayer and. Miss Garden spent

several years in Paris. In 1909, after an alleged slight to Mrs. Mayer by Miss Garden in New York, Mrs. Mayer demanded and re

many farmers, he thinks, will put forth no extra efforts, having no personal need to do so. "As to the general farm line up, It is hard to say. Don't believe, however, that there is a general tendency to reduce tillage. Don't think we lost many spring pigs around Lewisburg, though some have complained. Wheat doesn't look at all promising but may turn out better than now looks probable." Are Buying Implements. "We are looking forward to a good season." said H. L. Morgan, implement dealer at Dublin. "We have already booked some good orders, and are making sales every day. As to wheat this has not

The damage was done early in the fall "by fly, but at that, some fields are promising. "As to hogs. I "believe that "we sb.all raise about the usual number, except where there has been a loss of spring pigs. Looks as if our farmers are going to farm all the acreage they can handle, taking a chance on the kind of crops they harvest and the market prices at that time. "As to summer prices on hogs? Well, that's a problem for the future. It isn't profitable to raise hogs at present prices, considering cost of -corn and feedstuffs, they are too far apart. Still. I don't look for any toppy prices to come, nothing like we have had; there isn't the export demand for our meats, it seems. We "have been raising a couple of cars of

GOOD STOCK BRINGS $10,500; SPRINGBROOK FARM IS CLOSED UP

BY WILLIAM R. 8ANBORN The C. D. Brumfield sale of Percherons, Shorthorns and Poland China hogs at Springbrook farm, two miles west of Winchester, on Monday, drew a large crowd of farmers. In addition to the live stock a lot of bay, grain and implements were disposed of, Mr. Brumfield having decided to take a rest for a time. W. H. Rust, who has managed the place for the past 9 years is to remove to Newcastle, and this was the cause of the sale. Two 8-year-old imported stallions, a Belgian and a Percheron, and a few registered Percheron mares and colts were shown, also a few fine Shorthorn cows and heifers. There were some registered Poland China sows, also a bunch of shoats and gilts, which developed competition among farmers who are intent on improving their strains. This was by no means a breaders' sale, and no outside prices were paid. It was simply a general farm sale where "better than the ordinary run of stock was on offer. The top on sows was $100, the most of them bringing around that figure. One of the largest crowds of the sale season insured a cleanup at good prices and events moved rapidly from the opening of the sale, which was set for 9 o'clock. Receipts Were $10,650. An indication of the size of the

crowd may be gathered from the statement that the Ladies' Aid of the Sparrow creek church harvested a profit of over $60 on the generous lunch provided. O. E. Ross of Winchester, and Delno Driesback of Muncie, cried the sale and the sheets were kept and the cash handled by Harry A. Smith, cashier of the Randolph county bank, assisted by H. E. McNees. Mr. Smith reported receipts totaling $10,650, largely in cash. About 20 tons of mixed hay sold around $27 per ton and nearly 2,000 bushels of corn went in two lots at an average of $1.46. Farmers around Winchester are anxiously awaiting the outcome of the well drilling, 'in the test for oil now being made. If oil is struck Winchester is in line for a boom and farm lands will be off the market mostly, except as oil properties, for a time.

The Theatres

WASHINGTON. To duplicate with absolute realism a reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic for the production of "The Copperhead," the great picture featuring Lionel Barrymore at the Washington Theatre, the last time today, the National Headquarters of the organization was appealed to with a proposition to have several hundred Civil War veterans appear in the film. "Because of the patriotic appeal and Americanism quality of "The Copperhead," the G. A. R. agreed to give their hearty support. As the result, a regular reunion of the ex-fighters was held before the camera. They brought with them not only their wartime uniforms but some score of battleworn flags and cannon properties which it would be difficult to duplicate. "The Copperhead" is in every respect a big picture, and the performonce of Lionel Barrymore as the hero, Milt Shanks, is as effective and striking as his characterization of the misjudged patroit on the stage. RICHMOND Herbert Rawlinson does one of the finest bits of acting of his screen career in the two-reeler, "The Silkless Banknote," the first of the Chief Flynn series, made by Republic, which opens at tne Richmond Theater Wednesday. He not only has finish and polish, but subdued power and forcewhich carries right through to an exciting

climax. "The Silkless Banknote," written by Wilson Mizner, the noted dramatist, from authentic material told him by ex-Chief of the Secret Service, Willlam J. Flynn, Is one of the most perfect detective stories ever unfolded. Many a five-reeler lacks the punch it contains. The mystery is excellently sustained and the ending unexpected. MURRETTE.

At this time the wide wedding band is removed from her hair, and she becomes a married woman.

As a musical and singing feature we doubt if there is a better act playing than Mile. Diane and Jan Rubini, and their assistant Salvatore Santaella at the piano. Rubini as a vielin virtuoso is a finished product, his big numbers bringing volumes of recognition from the audience. The nearest he descends to the popular is his closing number, "I Hear You Calling Me," and he plays this like McCormack sings it, faultlessly. Mile.

LADIES! DARKEN YOUR GRAY HAIR

Use Grandma's Sago Tea and Sulphur Recipe and Nobody Will Know.

The use of Sage and Sulphur for restoring faded, gray hair to Its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," you will get this famous old preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be depended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair all disappears, and after another application or two, it be

comes beautifully dark and glossy. Advertisement.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., March 16. "As a general tonic for building up a weakened and run-down condition of the system Trutona is without an equal. "These are the health giving words, of Lew Shank, former mayor of Indianapolis, spoken recently in what he calls well merited praise, of the perfect tonic. Mr. Shank then said further: "I must say that it gives me pleasure to recommend Trutona to those suffering as I did. For several years I have been bothered with indigestion and constipation, and I didn't have a good appetite. I tried numberless medicines in an effort to get relief, but to no avail." "Trutona was recommended to me and I decided to try it. Today, thanks to this medicine, I feel more able to attend tc my business than" I have for years. I've found Trutona a remarkable medicine for overcoming constipation, indigestion and a weakened condition of the system. I believe I am passing the good word along in making this statement and I feel It my duty to recommend Trutona." Mr. Shank, since completing his terra as mayor of the Indiana Metropolis, has been engaged in the storage business at 227-29 North New Jersey Street, and resides at 3547 East Washington Street. Trutona is really a medicine of unusual merit. It is unsurpassed as a reconstructive agency, system purifier and body invigorant. It has been declared peerless as a treatment for stomach, liver and bowel troubles. ' Trutona is sold in Richmond at Clem Thistlethwaite's Drug Store. Advertisement.
