FARMER IS DOING HIS PART .PRETTY WELL MEREDITH

WASHINGTON. April 6. "It tseemg

to me that the farmer is doing his I part pretty well," said Secretary of) Agriculture E. .T. Meredith in dlscuB8-

ing the high cost of living and a widespread belief that the farmer is in Eome way responsible. Secretary Meredith then went on to show from the records of the department that there are more men working on farms, farming more acres, each acre producing more per acre, and each man producing more per man, giving each person in the country more of the six leading cereals per capita than ever before, from which he deduced the opinion that the farmer is "doing his part pretty well." "Since 1880 there has been a gradual increase of 25 per cent in the yield per acre of the principal crops 25 per cent for the whole country." said Mr. Meredith. "Notwithstanding

the fact that we have placed under cultivation a great" deal of new land, that we have taken deserts and made farms, there has been a gradual increase of 25 per cent in the average yield per acre. "Corn, for example, increased 10 per cent; oats 24 per cent, and potatoes 33 per cent. The acre yields for other field crops have increased 16 per cent. Better methods, the intro-

Republic county was made by doing twelve days' plowing and planting corn on the old Culver farm at 60 cents a day. He hauled thirty bushels of rye to Blue Rapids, forty miles distant shortly after coming to Kansas and received 20 cents a bushel for it.

Now, whenever Mt. Holyoke pirls receive any change from a bill they

the farmer is lying down; whether he is doing his part. Keeps Pace With Population "Production also has kept up with the increase in population. Fifty years ago, or during the period from 1856 to 1874, the average production per capita of the six principal cereals was 38 bushels. From 1905 to 1914 It was 52 bushels, an increase of 14 bushels. The production of corn increased from 23 to 27 bushels per capita. Wheat increased from 6 1-5 to 8 bushels; oats from 4 3-4 to 13 bushels; cotton from 36 to 60 pounds per person; and milk from 84 gallons in 1899 to 96 gallons in 1919.

Kansas Man Owned Same Farm for Fifty Years TALMA, Kas., April 5 Ed Jeardoe, living near Talmo, has resided on the same homestead for 50 years. He save three steers and $125 in cash for the place, which is now worth more than $125 an acre. Coming to Republic county on horseback, he carried all his earthly belongings with him. His policy has always been not to borrow money, and the old homestead has never had a mortgage on it. He has added another eighty and a quarter to his original holdings. Mr. Jeardoe lived in a dugout and bached for five years. He continued there for two years after he was married. Although the family has since lived in a more modern house the dugout still remains. Ten children have been born and reared on the old home farm. Nine of them are still living. Mr. Jeardoe's first earned money in

has put a number of people in opera, frankly advises her students to coinr plete their course in New York. She asserts that within the next year the majority of the famous instructors in Europe will have studios in New York, due to the fact that the war put a stop to their business over there. The same condition exists in art, and scores of well known Parisian instructors have come to America, the major

ity of them stopping in New York. It is believed here that these conditions will continue for several years and that while they last, students will be able to complete their musical and art educations in New York as successfully as they used to do in Europe.

UNUSUAL BLOOD TESTS.

Serology, or the study of the blood serums, has found that the blood of different races of mankind have different reactions when subjected to different tests. This led to the sciencce being introduced Into crimology as a sample of blood, such as that of a murderer or thief that has been hurt is tested and the re-actions tell whether he is brown, black or yellow. The tests have reached the point whereby, it is said, each individual's blood has slightly different reactions. Thus the criminologist can tell whether a prisoner is the guilty one if he has a sample of the criminal's blood. These tests have shown that the Russian is more closely related to the Chinese than he is to the European. In the same way it is found that most of the Esquimaux tribes are descend

ed from the Chinese. The test, made

several years ago, of the blood of the

higher members of the monkey family, it is said, shows man has relationship

Mother! Teach the Children Their Daily Health Duty You can't be too insistent!

FEW children find pleasure in the things most vital to their physical comfort and health, so it rests with the watchful mother to sets that they are done. The child will be grateful in after years. Chief among the functions necessary to the upbuilding of the little body, so that it will not be a dyspeptic, constipated body when it matures, is elimination regularly every morning. If the mother will be insistent and allow nothing to interfere with it, it will soon become a habit, a daily routine that will not be forgotten throughout life. There are times, however, when nature will not operate unaided. Then give Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of simple laxative herbs with pepsin, and the headaches, the biliousness, the torpor will quickly disappear. It acts gently and without griping, and as it contains no narcotics and is pleasant to the taste, it may

be given to infants. Thousands of families have been regidated to healthy maturity with Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. A bottle can be bought at any drug store. In a large family there is always someone who would feel better for a dose of a good medicine like Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. In spite of the fact that Dr. Cald
