No matter, how well favored we may be, there are times when we all, I believe, have sinking spells when much that we thought we had gained,, seems' to have slipped away. And -we are not,1 at such times, very good companions not even to ourselves. Lite is a great deal like a musical instrument, needing adjustment and tuning during its entire period of use. You need to plav up to yourself to your better self all the time. Keep aiming beyond your immediate ability to gain the end you have in mind. In other words, keep buoying yourself up, so that there shall In: ro melting away of valuable reserves at critical moments. The most, valuable time we spend is that which we have as our very own, in seclusion and solitude. At such times will you be able to grow broaden, and enlarge your- soul or else witness just the opposite. . What you are is your asset. Increase it each day! Play up to yourself.

Keep breaking the shells of your outgrown experiences and in the words of Oliver Wendell Holmes, "make each new temple nobler than the last!" 1 All life will become a more livable proposition as you become a better .companion, " to yourself.

Farmers are serving themselves by becoming allied with the purposes of the bureau through membership in it. Its local achievements are great enough to warrant the personal co-operation of every farmer, and its national scope so filled with promises of ultimate good to the whole industry, that no farmer can well afford.

Conditions of U. S. Farming Farm Land Values Increased, But So Do Also Number of Mortgages on These Lands.

Bt FREDERICK J. IIASKIN WASHINGTON, D. C, Jan. 12. The enigma of why American farming can not survive under present conditions, although the prices of foodstuffs are higher today than they were in any pre-war year, is not the only topic dealt with in the report of the joint commission which investigated the agricultural crisis. The report itself constitutes a broad survey of farming as it is at present conducted, and as such it makes clear what a change has come over the business of food production during the past 20 years. One prime characteristic of farming today is its increased and increasing use of fertilizer. The virgin soil of the nation that once produced a heavy series of crops year after year and seemed inexhaustible in its richness, has at length worn out. Not even manures and the rotation of crops can sustain its productivity. Fertility has to be added in the form of commercial fertilizers. At the beginning of the present century the farmers of America, and principally those of the older states east cf the Mississippi, were buying com mercial iertiuzers at the rate of about $i4,000,000 in value each vear. In 1919 they spend nearly $330,000,000. Twenty years ago not $4,000,000 a year was pent for fertilizers by farmers west of the Mississippi river; in 1919 the farmers of that region spent approximately $27,000,000. The Pacific states are using nine times as much fertilizer now as they did then. These figures are evidence of the exhaustion of the soil. The hired man on the farm gets bet ter pay man he used to. His wages now, figuring in his board as part of his pay, are about three and one-half times what they were in 1S9S. It is costing farmers today nearlv four times as much to feed their livestock as it did only 10 years ago'. In 10 years the farms of the nation have nearly doubled in value, due to the increasing cost of land. The average farm in 1910 was valued at $5,471. The present value of the average farm is $10,51 1, while the total present value is close to $GS,000,000,000. This represents an increase of about $32,000,000,000. On this increased value interest must be paid, and the greater difficulty of making the farm pay as an investment is one of the things which is embarrassing our farming. Although in 20 years there has been a great increase in the use of farm machinery, tho crop statistics do not indicate that machinery is increasing production. It is permitting fewer men to operate the farms, but it is not sending the farm ahead of the increase in population. Yet, as farm labor grows harder and harder to secure, the tendency is toward a greater and greater use of machinery. This is another indication which points to higher food prices" in the future. Machinery and tools of all sorts used bn the farms have greatly increased in price. So has lumber. Today one

SAGE TEA KEEPS ; Y0UR HAIR DARK When Mixed with Sulphur it Brings Back Beautiful . Lustre at Once. Gray hair, however handsome, denotes advancing age. We all know the advantages of a youthfur appearance. Your hair is your charm. It makes or mars the face. When it fades, turns gray, and looks streaked, just a few applications of Sage Tea and Sulphur enhances its appeamace a hundredfold. Don't stay gray! Look young! Either prepare the recipe at home or get from any drug store a bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound," which is merely the old-time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients. Thousands of folks recommend -this ready-to-use preparation, because it darkens the hair beautifully; besides, no one can possibly tell, as it darkens so naturally and evenly. You moisten a sponge or soft brush, with it, drawing this through the hair, taking one small strand at a time. By morning the gray hair disappears; after another application or two its natural color is restored, and it becomes thick, glossy and lustrous, and you appear years younger. Advertisement

tarm in every 28 owns at least one tractor; two out of every hundred maintain motor trucks: while the autamobile has now become so prevalent that practically one farm of every three has one. The great wheat and corn states of the upper and middle Mississippi valley are the chief users of tractors. Here there i3 a tractor ror every nine farms. While machinery has not Increased the output of crops per acre, it has in creased crop output per unit of labor. in tnat way we are meeting the comyeuuon or tne rest of the world in our farm produce. The use of ma. chinery has had the incidental effect of increasing the size of our farms, iuiuuku me aouuy or fewer men to work more land with machines. The average American farm today is 148 acres in area, and that is 10 acres larger tnan it was in 1910. The physical conditions of living on tarms are growing better. The great uumoer or automobiles in use near ly -,uuw,uuu cars on the farms in 1920 is an indication of this. There are auinii iw.uuu motor trucks and 250,vw nacLurs m use. Telephones are now installed in over 2,500,000 American farm houses, or in almost 40 per cent of them. Xearlv 650,000 American farm homes have their own water ana sewerage systems. About 450.000 of them are lighted by gas or elecincuy. Science May Do More For Farmers Science, while it has done much Tina not yet rescued the farmer from the business hazards of weather, destructive insect pests, or nlant snd animal diseases. The commission believes that much more can be done to render farming less exposed to these risks. Hand in hand with the increase in the value of the farm lands has gone an increase in the total morteage on those lands. The lands themselves have nearly doubled in value, but the mortgage has considerably more than doubled. It is estimated that the nresfent total mortgage debt on American tarms is $8,663,000,000, as against approximately $3.600,000,000 in 1910. On SALTS FINE FOR ACHING KIDNEYS We eat too much meat, which clogs kidneys, then the back hurts. i Most folks forget that the kidneys, like the bowels, get sluggish and clogged and need a flushing occasionally, else we have backache and dull misery in the kidney region, severe headaches, rheumatic twinges, torpid liver, acid stomach, sleeplessness and all sorts7 of bladder disorders. You simply- must keep your kidneys active and clean, and the moment you feel an ache or pain in the kidney region, get about four ounces of Jad Salts from any good drug store here, take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts is maae from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and is harmless to flush clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activjty. it also neutralizes the acids in the urine so it no longer irritates, thus ending bladder disorders. Jad Salts Is harmless; inexpensive; makes a delightful effervescent lithiawater drink which everybody should take now and then to keep their kidneys clean, thus avoiding serious complications. A well-known local druggist says he sells lots of Jad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kidney trouble while it is only trouble.

Farm managership Is a growing profession, and the number of farms run by these experts slowly but continually increases. The average size of farms operated by managers is over 787 acres. The report of the commission gives some interesting figures to show how the prices of foods at the grocery stores and markets have failed to come down with the drop in prices of farm products. In 1913, for instance, corn meal sold at retail for three cents a pound, the retailer making about a , cent and a half a pound profit. In 1918 corn meal hit the high mark of seven cents a pound, the wholesale price reaching five cents and a little over. The dealer was then content with two cents profit. Then came the big break in the wholesale price of corn meal. It dropped to one cent and a fraction a pound, but the dealer did not reduce the retail price to below five cents, making a profit of practically four cents a pound. Similar figures are shown for rice, round, steak, lard, bacon, and other staples.
