Good judgment means much in dollars
and cents on the farm; just as I
much there as it docs anywhere.
o ?
The farmer who raised plenty of
supplies on the farm went through
the war period without trouble.
The most valuable thing any farmer
can have in the way of an improve
ment, is a good road right by hjs
door.
o
The "hog and hominy" plan is
about as good as any for getting
rich quick. Farmers will not be fool
enough to lay this old plan aside for
a- while yet.
?
Better attention to the farming
plans and closer application to carrying
them out for 1920, will result in
a greater success to the planters of
this section.
o
Good drainage in this community
has banished the mosquito from the
homes of the people and chills and
fever only remains, we believe, as a
result of germs taken in during the
years that the drainage was bad.
Keep up this good work and the gain
will be enormous in good health and
wealth of this section.
o
WAY OF HUMAN NATURE.
It is the way of human nature "to
act a* if the present condition, whatever
it may happen to be, will continue
and last throughout life. It is
only the better judgment and discretion
that causes men and women to
look to the future and make preparations
for a possible change in affairs
brought about not only by factors
which are known to act, but by
possible unknown forces. It is the
usual way for the people of a country
to go ahead to-day and act
as if the conditions of to-day might
last forever. This brings up a matter
for serious thought in connection
with tha world war and the conditions
brought about by that. At the present
time the prices of everything that ifc
for sale stands at an inflated level.
"Wage earners in almost every line 01"
work are getting higher wages than
they ever got before. Just as in other
things the people act as if this conditions
of affairs, including the high
cost of living, will go on indefinitely
forever while sober second though!
shows beyond a doubt that i'ningi
must change from what they are now
and that prices of everything in th<
world will tumble down sooner 01
later, and a time will come when worl
will be scarce and jobs as hard t<
find as ever they were; a time whev
the old time value of the almightj
dollar will come back again, and Iher
wages will be as low or lower thai*
they were before the war. It standi
to reason that a wise policy on tlx
part of the people of this countrj
would dictate that they make prepa.
rations for this change which i>
bound to come. Instead of buying thr
high priced things which will take ail
?&i. l&M-'Li i jS >'
of the money they can save, let them
be wise and save all of the money
they can. Every dollar saved now
will be worth twice as much as it is
now when things reach their normal
state once more.

THE HIGH COST OF LOAFING.
It is the high cost of loafing rather
than the high cost of living that
troubles America toady, this is the
opinion expressed in a recent issue of
the "Com Exchange," the monthly
magazine of the Com Exchange National
Board of Philadelphia. The
paper says that the country is producing
loss per hour, per man, than
before the war although the rate of
consumption is greater. This being
true, prices continue to advance and
further advances may be expected
until an economic balance is effected
between production and consumption.
The solution of the problem as indirntfvl
hv President Wilson. Govern
oi Harding, of the Federal Reserve
Board, and others, is to increase production
and reduce expenditures.
Investigation by a large manufacturing
plant of Philadelphia, says
"Com Exchange," recently showed
that under identical circumstances
the production per man per
hour was one half more before the
war although wages have been
doubled. Another investigation which
covered states and which was reported
in the same paper showed that
while the average wage per man increased
240 per cent the production
per man, per hour, had decreased 62
per cent.
"The man who loafs on the job,"
says the paper above named, "no
matter what division of society h '
belongs to deliberately elects to surrender
his claim to be an honest man,
for he is pretending to do something
that he knows he is not doing. This
lowering of the moral standard of the
people of the nation * * * menaces
the stability of the state."
The paper concludes; "Let us be
honest with ourselves by recognizing
the high duty of working at maximum
speed at whatever task circumstances
bring to us. The loafer is father of
the liar, and the liar is father of the
traitor to all that we hold dear in
America. It is the worker who has
always won, the shirker who has always
lost. Let us stop talking about
the high cost of living. Let us put
a stop to the high cost of loafing."?

Pepto-Mangan Creates Rich
Red Blood and Increases
Strength.
Surgeon General Blue, of the United
States Public Health Service, in a
recent statement from Washington,
warns the public that the much-dread
ed influenza epidemic will probably
return this fall and winter. All medical
authorities agree that the weak,
bloodless, rundown individual is more
likely to contract this (as well as any
| other infectious disease) than is the
j strong, robust, red-blooded man or woman.
In view of these facts, it is
wise to use every effort to build up
i the blood and thus increase the bodily
j resistance to the invasion of the
I germs of the disease. Glide's Pepto|
Mangan is an absolutely dependable
j red-blood builder in all conditions of
'lowered vita'ity not due to serious
|disease of the vital organs. It improves
the appetite, imparls color to
I the cheeks, and creates new liopc and i
I ambition in those who have become
I pale, weak, and listless. Physicians
?recommend Gude's Pepto-Mangan.
I When you order, be sure the word
ij "Gude's" is on the package. Without
"Gude's," it is not Pepto-Mangan.

Germany are willing to accept almost
anything in return for the many different
kinds of paper currency now
N circulating there.
The paper money, which is in far
greater volume than even before, is
of innumerable varieties. The govBe
ernment, through the Reichsbank, issues
notes in denominations of 1, 2, 5,
10, 50, 100, and 1,000 marks. The
cities and towns too, have recently
taken to issuing notes in some of
these denominations, and, in addition,
are putting into circulation great
quantities of small notes of 10 to 50
pfennig denomination. These emis"\M

American Traveler Annoyed.
One American, who has just got
back from Germany, tells a story of
having changed a good part of his
money at Coblenz, into the paper
tny? notes issued at that place. When he
itly got to Cologne his money was no
, ?s good. Only by accepting a- hoavy
iion discount could he change it, through
and a currency dealer, into money which
arc war current at Cologne. Then, as his
nto travels progressed, he discovered that
- be the Cologne money had no value outues
side of that city, and at Berlin he had
t of to change it again, also at a discount,
In Berlin there is a tremendous
noy amount of counterfeit money in cir
ned culation. The same American who ex
ipor pericnced the unhappy fate of having
'ere to change his "city money" several
.red times was stuck with some of the
mlv counterfeit bills at Berlin, where, he
>f ;; says, the counterfeiters are working
; n more openly than in any place he has
it a ever visited.

cause it had been so widely counterfeited.
The government simply could
not keep up with makers of the spurious
hills, and so resorted to the heroic
method of calling in the real
bills and canceling them. They issued
a proclamation declaring all 50 mark
notes of that date obsolete, after a
certain day ami demanded that all
who had the real bills change them at
once.
The Bolshcviki playetkan important
role in the circulation (?f counterfeit
money in Germany. They first came
over and did a big business by exchanging
Russian ruble currency at
ridiculous figures for German marks.
When the German government stopped
this it is alleged the Bolsheviki
agents went back to Russia and calmly
proceeded t o print mark notes, du-!

Germans Buying Jewelry.

hoping that ultimately they will bo
able to dispose of them to foie'gnorsi
for foreign money. Some Germans j
even have gone to the extent of buy- !
ing merchandise, and one with whom j
| the American banker talked told him:
j he had purchased a fairly large con-1
signmont of canned goods through |
a smuggler and that he expected to
realize a good sized profit on the
transaction "when things get right."
It is forbidden to send money out
of Germany except with the special
permission of the government agents
at the Reichsbank. This is extremely
hard to secure and only in special
cases. But rich Germans, who fear
the imposition of heavy taxes on capital,
as advocated by one of the new
German ministers, are smuggling
their funds into adjacent neutral
countries. The smugglers are demanding,
and are setting, very high
rewards for their services.
An American commercial agent
who has just returned from Germany,
by way of Holland, says he heard of
a case where a smuggler had carried
out of Germany 1,000,000 marks in
paper notes and, under the terms of
his contract, was only required to
