CHINESE PROVINCES FACE GREAT FAMINE; FIELDS ARE BARREN

The Farm and Farmer

PEKING. Nov. 5. Relief work for the 20,000.000 estimated sufferers from famine in the four Chinese provinces where the crops failed this year has been undertaken energetically by' both Chinese and foreign organizations. One of the latter is an American committee to raise and distribute famine funds which "was organized on the initiative of the American minister, Charles R. Crane. The Chinese ministries of finance, agriculture, and interior have appointed a commission to dispense $1,000,000 fund to be raised by means of a short term loan. From Shanghai comes news of another fund of $1,800,000 undertaken by seven provinces at the instigation of Tang Shao-yi, the chief southern peace delegate. Reports. Not Exaggerated. Comprehensive reports submitted

to the American Relief committee indicate that the early reports of distress have not been exaggerated. Dr. P. P. Tucker, writing from Tehchow, Shantung, says: "Today an old man with a keen memory was describing conditions 42 years ago (when a memorable famine occurred) and he is quite sure that conditions are worse, for then, he said, there was a wheat crop Just before the drought, which crop we have not had except in very limited areas." Mrs. Edith C. Tallmon, missionary, says portions of Shantung and Chihli provinces are practically without any iharvest. Even the trees had been stripped of their leaves for use as food. Sells Family Garments. "One well-to-do farmer has already .used all the produce from his 10 acres and has sold the wadded garments that his family need for the winter. Another farmer near Lintsing has torn down some of his buildings in order to use the sorghum stalks of the thick roof for fuel." "The selling of children is common," continues Mrs. Tallmon. "A fine little lad a year old was offered for $2 and none wanted him. A boy of five, whose mother had died of cholera and whose lather was sick, was led by an old beg.gar woman. She has four boys of her own, but she said: 'I couldn't leave him; his father is trying to give him away and says if nobody will feed him he will have to throw him in the river.' Little children are found deserted in the streets and some have been rescued from the river. People are trying to make marriages for their daughters, even very young girls." Nothing in Fields. Another writer from the district southwest of Paotingfu, says: "As far as one can see in any direction there is nothing growing in the fields that can keep the people alive this winter. No one was working in the fields and almost no one travelling on the roads. The people have either left or are sitting in the villages conserving energy as much as possible."

it is expected that Liberty will have an old-fashioned corn show, the tentative date being Dec. 5. The acreage has been measured and reports made to Purdue, to which no reply has been yet received. In connection with the corn show there will be an attractive display of poultry, also, according to Miss Nell R. George, secretary to county agent Campbell, there will be an exhibit by the class in household economics and others, at the coliseum, of interest to all the women of the county. This means that Dec. 5 will be "show day" in Liberty and that nearly everybody will be "among those present." Although living in town Miss George is an enthusiastic little farmeress. She keeps in touch with matters pertaininz to sericulture in her county, is

and other printed matter, and is interested in the girls and boys of the pig and calf clubs. She keeps the records of the various prizes and ribbon awards, and can tell you all about them. Owen County Organized. Owen county, not heretofore organized by the farm federation, recently completed a membership drive and reports 984 enrolled. Monday and Tuesday, Nov. 15-16 will see a bunch of the best farmers in Indiana in attendance at the annual state convention )f the farm federation. A few state and national officials of farm organizations, outside of Indiana, will be. present, and Purdue will be represented at the meeting. Grain in Sight. There are but 800,000 bushels of wheat in Chicago elevators now, against close to 19,000,000 in the same week in 1919. Per contra there is 6,500,000 bushels of corn against 600,000 a year ago, in store, also nearly 13,000,000 bushels of oats. P,ut the most striking comparison in the visible supply table relates to wheat. Total United States wheat in the "visible" last week was 35,500,000, against 96,352,000 a year ago. There are more than 40,000,000 of wheat afloat for Europe at this writing. Now On a Cash Basis. The Chester White Swine Record Association, which was organized in 1913, "Not For Profit," has this year financed the South American view herd, state fairs, state and local pig clubs, etc., to amount of $11,000. The association meeting will be held at Chicago on November 30, for the election of officers, and at this meeting the need for an increase in price of supplies, recording fees, etc., will be shown. In the meantime, the association went on a cash basis on Novem-

Should the estimate just made by Goodman of Chicago, be realized we shall harvest 350 million more bushels this year. W. B. Snow, widely known crop reporter for the Board of Trade at Chicago, cuts Good

man's figures 110 millions, his esti

mate being for a crop of 3,157,000,000

bushels. Cwring to the long delay of serious frosts, allowing almost complete maturity of the crop, the estimates have been increasing with each

ARGENTINA PROBES GOVERNMENT GRAFT; AIR STATE CONTRACT

(By Associated Press) BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 5. Argentina has been having a graft investigation as a result of which it has been found that 5,500,000 pesos have been "unduly" disbursed by former government officials who directed payments to contractors for building the capitol here. The present government has announced its intentien of bringing Buits to recover the money Improperly paid. The building, a magnificent structure of classic architecture, marble facings and broad sweeps of marble steps not unlik.e the capitol at Wash ington, is jestingly called in the newspapers, "El Palacia de Oro," Spanish for "The Palace of old." It was begun in 1897, and was originally to have cost 10,000,000 pesos. It is not yet entirely finished and has cost 27, 000,000. Probe Construction. Recently a committee of the National Accountancy department completed

Buy Less Food-But Get More Real Nourishment If you want plenty of strength and vitality

The human body runs on its food, Just a 6the engine runs on coal or gas. If you shove poor coal into the engine It will not produce the power to make it go. Putting Into the human system foods which do not contain sufficient nourishment, is just like throwing poor coal or weak gasoline Into the engine. Yet probably nine out of every ten people not up to the mark in health, strength and vitality are weak, run-down pale, and underweight simply because they are eating every day foods from which most of the real nourishment has been destroyed. .Science now knows that In the milling of grain, the preparation and cooking of vegetables and other raw foods. Nature's most nourishing substances the vitamines are almost totally lost. So necessary are those vitamines to build physical power, mental vigor, and give you a full enjoyment of life that the eminent Nutrition expert Dr. Carl O. Johns, says: "We may have all th foods but without vitamines we would get no good from them." As a matter of fact, a dollar's worth of food with plenty of nourishing, health-giving vitamines supplies you far more energy and endurance than ten dollar's worth of food without sufficient vitamines.

There is no question in the mind3 of physicians consulted that, had a means been found long ago by which the body could receive ALL the vitamines Nature intended instead of only the small part remaining in everyday foods, endless illness might have been prevented and in many cases life greatly prolonged. But only recently has science found a way to preserve and condense these precious vitamines into a form that could be pleasantly taken with your meals and actually feed the blood, the nerves, the tissues and all the bodily organs with real heaflh-building nourishment. There concentrated vitamines in the tablet form known as Vitamon provide a simple and easy means by which you can draw upon Nature's hiddn source of power and quickly gain the strength and vitality that should be yours. Dr. John J. Rudolph, a former Health Commissioner says: "The results obtained both from taking Vitamon myself and prescribing It for my men and women patients have been so astonishingly gratifying, that I do not believe there is anything whatsoever to "which this discovery can be compared."

INFORMATION IMPORTANT TO YOU In counties disorders associated with weakness, anaemia, lack of energy, loss of weight, nervous troubles. Indigestion, constipation, sallow skin, poor complexion and a general run-down condition, the astonishing health-value of vitamines has been so clearly demonstrated that physicians are now regularly prescribing VITAMON as well as taking it themselves. So confident are the manufacturers of the rapid and pronounced benefits it produces that they make the following unconditional guarantee; Use VITAMON for ten days and see for yourself the surprising change in your health and physical appearance, your energy and mcAtal vigor and the Joy you get out of life. If you are not entirely satisfied with the results and are not convinced from the way you LOOK and FEEL that it has been worth to you far more than you paid for it, your money will be promptly refunded and the trial will cost you nothing. Your own druggist has VITAMON in stock or can readily obtain it for you. In any case you can be sure of getting it from Thlstlethwaite, Daffler & Spanagal, Quigley's, A. G. Lukcn.

Buenos Aires newspapers told years ago that wagon loads of building material that went in the front door of the structure, soon after came out the back door and then disappeared. Charges were made that marble was paid for but concrete used for part of the construction, and other accusations of graft were aired. It was then that the newspapers began to call it "The Palace of Gold."
