PATENTS AND THE FARMER Under the American patent system this country has enjoyed the greatest era of industrial and social progress in the history of mankind. What is happening today under the encouraging guidance of our patent laws is positive

COBB ItJEARLY always there is p&thos in stories dealing with the poor, even ’ such stories as are intended to be humorous. Only here the other Bay I was reading in an English paper an anecdote of a child from a desperately poverty-stricken home who had been carried for treatment &o a London hospital. !• A nurse put into the waif’s hands ® long glass of milk, and the • child asked:. ’ ..■ “U; “How far down de I drink before I have to stop?” i I —’ (. \ ——HOM - ps "gw > I r> iA vwf llllriti XL—-IS — The little tale reminded me of one which was meant to be funny, I suppose, but Which made my eyes moist themrst time I heard it. As the yam rune a widow lived with her only son in a tumbledown shanty. Ore n’gLt after sb? had put him to bed a terrific downpour started. ITi- water came through gaps in the warped shingles of the roof. One leak, directly above '.here the boy lay, spouted a stream directly down upon his small body. The mother tried vajivy to divert the Sow away from him. Th«n an inspiration came to her. Ike night was stormy but it was not cold. So she lifted the front <?<w down off its binges and nro'-rwd it fiat over the little fellow so that the orors splasntd upon it instead oi on him. From under his'shelter he peeped but and “Mother, what do poor people do or. t -ike this without any door to put over them and keep off trie rain :”

Evidence that all groups in the United States benefit from them. Certainly thd farmer is a case in point. A survey of what may be expected from research in the next few years, conducted by a Buffalo, New York, bank, reveals tnat the ..■prosperity of the farmer, as well

as that of the manufacturer, is vitally dependent upon patents. Agriculture, as well as industry and its millions of workers and stockholders, has a stake m the American patent system which today is the object of certain illconsidered attacks. The Buffalo bank asked two thousand prominent research men this question: “What will be the oustanding contribution from your field of research during the next three years?” The responses that came in show that there are, in the offing, undreamed of uses for soybeans to make plastics, corn for motor fuel, wood for lacquers, and milk for textile substitutes. New chemical fertilizers that produce amazing effects on plant growth are reported. A new potato aarvester which may eventually save about one-third the cost of potato production has been perfected and is about ready for commercial use. A whole new American industry—:the distillation of American flower oil for perfumes—has been made possible by new scientific and chemical developments. This will create new jobs in .he production of a commodity now imported. Every one of these developments is dependent upon patents. One manufacturing corporation engaged principally in the manufacture of such new products as these is now the biggest single customer for raw materials produced by American farms. Scores of new plastic substitutes for rubber, silg and many other

essentials long imported can now be made from American grown farm products, thanks to the advance of science and technology. The manufacture of these products provides jobs and incomes for industrial workers who in turn create additional markets for the products of the farm. The results for the farmer and all concerned are larger incomes and better living conditions. And without the stimulus to nvent.ion and research provided by the American patent system, this precess could not be carried thru successfully to its vital conclusion.’ READ THE JOURNAL HAY FEVER Test This Quick Relief Try one dose “Dr. Platt’s RINEX Prescription.” Relief usually begins in a few minutes. A physician’s internal medicine in convenient capsules, tasteless—a boon for sufferers from Hay Fever, Rose Fever, Head Colds, Catarrh, Asthma. Not habit-forming. Sneezing, wheezing, itching eyes, running nose quickly relieved. Satisfaction within a few hours psaranteed or money back. Year druggist recommends RINEX, *I.OO. Ax' I/. men love >nrn GIRLS WITH rLr If you are peppy and full of fun, men will invite you to dances and parties. BUT if you are cross, listless and tired, men won’t be interested. Men don’t like •’quiet” girls. When they go to parties they want girls along who are full of pep. So in case you need a good general system tonic, remember for 3 generations one woman has told another how to go “smiling thru” with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. It helps build up more physical resistance and thus aids in giving you more pep and lessens distress from female functional disorders. You’ll find Pinkham’s Compound WELL WORTH TRYING!
