Clothes Worth While
Is a Suit that you can put on'in the Spring of 1920
with the moral guarantee that you won’t have to THINK
of replacing it with another Dress Suit before 1922 at
least.

“Wear Your Clothes Longer” went over the country.
WE LIKED IT. For the very simple reason that ©
ONLY kind of Clothes a man CAN wear longer J is
GOOD Clothes—the kind with the reputation and ggar-
antee of it—-the ONLY kind we sell.
GOOD CLOTHES cost more than inferior kinds so
does good paint, or good seed, or good fertilizer. tit's
only on the FIRST COST. Carry your calculatign out
to the end—and they’re cheapest eve ry time. ¥

Vulcanizing Retreading
SAVE YOUR WORN TIRES
WE can save you maney on
your tire expensg¢ each
year—and enough to make it
worth while, too. J
The motoring public are being
rapidly educated to re-tredd their
tires as soon as the original tread
is mutilated to a point where
damage to the canvas, through
wear or rotting commencés.
Therefore, just as soon as the
tread surface begins to ‘develop
blisters, or to separate from the
canvas, and particularly’ where
faulty alignment wears away the
tread surface through continuous
skidding, re-treading should be
immediately attended to.
Don’t throw your old worn out
tires away or sell them to the junk
man just because they are tread
worn, for we can re-tread them

FARMERS" COLUMN
Items in These Columns Are Pre.
pared in the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington, D. C.,, and
Are Strictly Reliable.
How They Save Farm Labor
With a 28-inch horse-drawn plow,
one man accomplishes from 70 to 80
per cent more than with a single-bot-
tom plow. One man with a 28-inch
plow drawn by a tractor covers from
30 to 35 per cent more ground in a
day than does a man using six horses
on a horse-drawn plow of the same
size. A three-bottom plow drawn by
a suitable tractor enablgs one man
to accomplish from 60 to 70 per cent
more than does the two-bottom plow
drawn by six horses.
These facts were brought out by
about 600 replies to an inquiry ad-
dressed to farmers in central Illinois
by the Office of Farm Management,
United States Department of Agri-
culture. Under conditions where the
use of a two-row corn cultivator is
practicable, this machine enables one
man to cover nearly twice as much
ground per day as with a one-row
cultivator. In the section represented
by replies received by the depart-
ment, three horses are most com-
monly used on the two-row culti-
vator and the addition of a fourth
horse apparently increases but little
the amount of ground covered per
day.
Such of these farmers as use corn
binders have found the use of this
machine increases the efficiency of
man labor 50 per cent, on the aver-
age, over that achieved when cutting
and shocking by hand. Eighty
bushels, the reports show, is an aver-
age day’s work for one man when
husking corn from the standing stalk
by hand.
With respect to the value of a hay-
loader, they learned that the use of
this implement reduces by about 25
per cent the time required to put on
a load of hay, while the amount of
labor required for unloading into the
mow is only a little more than half
as great when a hayfork is used as
when the work is done by hand.
It’s “Milk Cow;” Not “Milch Cow”
Hereafter it will be “milk cow”
and not “milch cow”—at least so far
as the United States Department of
Agriculture is concerned.
This decision marks the termina-
tion of a controversy in which ety-
mologists in the department have had
not a little interest. Those defend-
ing “milch” have pointed to scrip-
tural use and certain of the classics
as establishing precedents, while the
opposition has contended that dairy-
men, ranchmen, and farmers in gen-
eral use “milk” instead of ‘“milch”
almost universally. The advocates of
“milk” also favored that word be-
cause, they contended, it was more
strictly an English word, while
“milch” was akin to German. Since
Americanization of language as well
as ideals in an article in every
patriot’s creed, it is thought that this
last «sally of the “milk” defenders
helped as much as any to decide the
question in their favor.
How A City Library Helps Farmers
Few city libraries have as many
country book borrowers as they
should, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, but the
free public library at Stockton, Cal.,
is a pleasant exception to the rule.
Not only does it send out traveling
libraries to communities and school
districts but it also encourages the
country people to make direct use of
the main library. Aside from the
liberal policy of the trustees of the
Stockton library, its central location
and the good roads leading to the
city have been big assets in the
building up of the large country cir-
culation.
There are now 80 communities
and 22 school districts that are re-
ceiving county free library service
from Stockton, but the main library
has a direct country circulation of
6,281 volumes. The large" collec-
tion of books at the main library is
attractive to country book borrowers.
Another incentive to country
readers has been the co-operation be-
tween the farm adviser and the home
demonstration agent and the county
librarians. These extension workers,
sent out by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college, make ar-
rangements with the library authori-
ties to forward books on fly control,
clothing, and study of food to the
communities where these subjects
have been discussed at the centers
and where they are to be country-
wide projects for the coming year.
Tobacco Consumed in United States
Figures showing the consumption
of tobacco in the United States over
a long period have recently been
compiled by the Bureau of Crop Es-
timates, United States Department
of Agriculture.
Tobacco consumption in 1790, the
oldest year for which it can be es-
timated, appears to have been nearly
29,000,000 pounds in this country.
For 1839 to 1844 the yearly con-
sumption is reckoned to have been
over 60,000,000 pounds, and for five
years of the decade 1845-1854 the
average stood at over 71,000,000
pounds. In the entire decade 1865-
1874 the yearly tobacco consumption
had increased to nearly 76,000,000
pounds. Thereafter the increase was
more marked. The average con-
sumption of 1875-1884 was 219,000-
000 pounds; of 1885-1894, 312,000,
000 pounds; of 1895-1904, 401,000,-
000 pounds; and of 1905-1914, 588,-
000,000 pounds. The quantity of to-
bacco available for consumption, ac-
cording to the process used, in-
creased from 669,000,000 to 900,-
000,000 pounds from 1915 to 1916,
and was 1,000,000,000 pounds in
1917 and 828,000,000 pounds in
1918. The average of the last two
years is better for those years than
the numbers mentioned, and this is
914,000,000 pounds. Prewar con-
The computed per capita consump-
tion of tobacco in this country has
been steadily gaining since 1865-
1874. Before that time, back to 1839,
seems to have been about 3.3

pounds. Following the Civil War the
computed average is as low as 2
pounds, and this was followed by a
climbing movement that reached 6.4
pounds in 1905-1914 and 8 pounds
during the following four years. For
domestic tobacco the per capita con-
sumption grew from 1.8 pounds in
1865-1874 to 5.9 pounds in 1905-
1914, and for foweign tobacco from
0.16 to 0.49 of 1 pound.
A Florida Girl's “Chicken Money”
Marie ‘Bradfisch, who lives in St.
Johns County, Fla.,, has found
poultry raising profitable. In 1919
the net returns from her birds was
$739.75.
This little Florida girl two years
ago joined one of the poultry clubs
supervised by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture and the
State agricultural college. She made
a good profit the first year and won
the State championship. She started
her second year poultry work with
105 fowls, valued at $258.
During 1919 she sold 1,030 eggs
and set 14 dozen. From the fowls
raised she sold 49 for $89 and kept
209, valued at $525. The total in-
come from her flock for the year
was $1,330.75. When her expenses
for feed and the value of the original
flock were deducted, her profits for
the year were $739.75.
This excellent record won her the
prize of $50 which had been offered
by two members of the Board of
Control of the State Institutions of
Higher Learning to the girl who did
the best work in a poultry club in
Florida in 1919.
Awkward Ways Waste Energy
From buttoning shoes to washing
dishes, there is an easy and awkward
way of doing all work, as everyone
well knows. Now, along comes the
scientist, who says his experiments
show that, aside from feeling and
looking more comfortable when you
do your work in the right way, you
also save considerable energy.
This fact is one of several which
recent experiments made by the Of-
fice of Home Economics of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture have disclosed. These ex-
periments have been made for the
purpose of determining the erergy
requirements of an individual in the
various circumstances of his daily
life and for use in estimating the
amounts and kinds of food required
by him to meet the needs of his body
for energy.
It was found in the homely every-
day task of dish washing that, when
a woman washed dishes on a table so
low that she was obliged to bend
over, her energy output was 30
calories per hour. When she washed
them on a table that was a little too
high for comfort, it required 25 calo-
ries per hour, while only 21 calories
were used when the working surface
was of the right height.
It doesn’t take long to saw off the
legs of a table or to put blocks under
it which will make it the right height.

PAID FOR VISITING
THE BEERLESS HOTELS
When is a saloon not a saloon?
was a question before the court on
Saturday at the opening of quarter
sessions that caused an official up-
heaval and mear-strike of the con-
stablery of the county.
It all happened something like this.
After the constables made their
quarterly reports to the court that
morning they sought pay for “visit-
ing the hotels and saloons” as of
yore. Based, in a way, on the Hass-
ler opinion, of ' Saturday which or-
dered the license money of the sa-
loons returned to the proprietors and
which to all intent and purposes held
their were no saloons in the court
since the last quarter sessions court.
County Controller Enos Mowrer re-
fused to approve the constables’ bills
for visiting hotels and saloons.
Immediately there was an outbreak
of constables and many threats to re-
sign. The matter was carried before
Judge Landis at Chambers, who in-
formally ruled that the constables
should be paid which was done. At
the same time the court intimated
that no more such fees would be paid
until a “case stated” had been pre-
sented to the court and it had been
passed on in all its phases.

WANT AN AVIATION
FIELD NEAR MARIETTA
Marietta may be the site for a
United States Government aviation
field.
Preparations for the building of
hugh railroad storage yards at this
place by the Pennsylvania System
has attracted the attention of the
United States government, apparent-
ly, and a survey will be made to de-
termine what qualifications Marietta
and its immediate vicinity may have
to offer for the constructon of an
aviation field.
Monday Burgess George Zink re-
ceived a letter from the Operations
Department of the United States
Aerial Service asking detailed infor-
mation about a farm located near the
boro. The letter inclosed®a long list
of questions that Burgess Zink is
asked to answer regarding the field.
He is asked to return the questions
as soon as possible.

Pays I Cent Income Tax
The most quibbling stickler on in-
come is not likely to eclipse the low
record in income tax payments made
by a silk mill girl at Altoona, who
after careful computation decided
she owed Uncle Sam one cent, and:
she has made payment of that
amount to the income tax collector.
