THE QUESTION
OF FURNITURE OUALITY
There are few things that quality effects so vitally as furni-
Often things that people buy fo personal wear and for ho
use are not always expected to last a long time, but this COLhor bo
said about furniture. When you buy furniture you are buying
something you expect to render you long service. It will if you
buy it here, because here we think of quality first. All the furni-
ture we buy must measure exactly up to requirements which we
make as to the manner of workmanship. And, after all, in the
long run, well-made furniture is the cheapest sort of furniture to
buy. We invite comparison, look around, . compare qualities and
prices and then come here and see ur vast-assortment.

CHINESE ESTEEF GINSENG FOR
ALLEGED CURATIVE VALUE
When a product has no market
value for food, medicine, or other
use in this country it is surprising to
find it representing an export value
of more than $2,000,000 a year, with
an established market extending
back more than half a century.
Ginseng is such a product. Amer-
ican medical authorities have never
recognized it as having curative
value, but for more than a hundred
years its root has been highly es-
teemed in China, and the 1919 ship-
ments of 282,000 pounds sold at
from $3 to $23 a pound.
American ginseng was taken to
China by early traders, and formed
the principal part of the cargo taken
by the first American ship that visited
China. This ship, the Empress of
China, sailed from New York for the
Celestial Empire on February 22,
1784. Decrease in the available
quantity of wild ginseng has led
many American farmers and gar-
deners to undertake the domestic cul-
ture of ginseng, and the United
States Department of Agriculture
has issued a new bulletin, Farmers’
Bulletin No. 1184, outlining the best
methods of culture. The department
previously issued Farmers’ Bulletin
No. 736 on diseases of the ginseng
plant.
Ginseng culture is a long and pre-
| carious process, requiring six years
from seed to marketable root, with
| the most particular care during the
{entire process. The market also is
[limited to such an extent that it is
i estimated 700 acres would furnish a
continuous supply of all that is need-
ed. In the middle of the last century
exports to China were eight times
what they were in 1919. The price
at that time averaged 94 cents a
pound. In 1919 it averaged $7.29
per pound.
PUBLISH WEEKLY FIGURES
OF EXPORT GRAIN TRADE
Under a plan newly put into opera-
tion by the Bureau of Markets of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture weekly export figures for
grain are made available at the points
given below simultaneously with
their release at Washington, D. C.
Every Tuesday the figures for the
preceeding week are telegraphed to
the Federal grain supervisors at
Omaha, New Kork, Baltimore, Min-
neapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis,
Chicago and Cincinnati, where they
are published on the grain exchange
bulletin board and in the dasfiews- |
rpapers. The sane. mation is
published later in the week in the
Market Reporter, a weekly publica-
tion of the Bureau of Markets with a
distribution of 83,000 copies. The
fipures are based upon reports of in-
spections made by licensed grain in-
spectors at the ports of Boston; Port-
land, Me.; New York, Baltimore,
Philadelphix, Newport Mews; Galves-
ton, Port Arthur and Texas City,
Tex.: New Orleans, Seattle, Tacoma,
Astoria, San Francisco and Portland,
) | Oregon.
The bureau calls attention to the
fact that, as evidenced by the list of
ports covered, the figures do not in-
clude all grain exported from the
United States, and therefore are not
intended for use in lieu of the De-
partment of Commerce monthly ex-
port figures. They cover only grain
exported each week through the
principal and specified grain- export
points of the United States.
AREAS REQUARANTINED
FOR CATTLE FEVER TICK
Six entire counties and parts of
five other cotinties in Arkansas were
recently requarantined for cattle fe-
ver tick by the United”States Depart.
ment of Agriculture. Department
officials say that it was necessary to
requarantine these areas because lo-
cal county authorities failed to com-
plete the eradication work after the
quarantine was lifted. The counties
requarantined in Arkansas are Chi-
cot, Desha, Drew, Lincoln, Yell, and
Logan.
It has been the policy of the de-
partment to release from quarantine
counties or areas in which the tick
had practically been eradicated.
When all of the territory in the coun-
ty or area was tick free, except per-
haps a few herds which had not com-
plied with State dipping require-
ments, it was not deemed advisable
to hold the quarantine on the entire
county or area and it would be re-
leased with the understanding that
local authorities would continue the
eradication work on the farms or
areas which still remained in local
quarantine. This plan has been suc-
cessful in the majority of cases, the
specialists say, and seldom has it
been necessary to requarantine coun-
ties. Of several hundred counties
that have been released, only a few
have failed to live up to the agree-
ment.and have had to be requaran-
tined.

DANGER OF A COLD
Mount Joy Peaple Will Do Well to
; Heéd Them
Many bad casés of kidney trouble
result from a cold or chill. Congested
kidneys fall behind in filtering the
poison-laden blood and backache,
headache, dizziness and disordered
kidney action follow. Don’t neglect
a cold. Use Doan’s Kidney Pills at
the sign of kidney itrouble. Follow
this Mount Joy resident’s example:
Jacob W. Grogg, W. Main Strect,
says: “Every winter! when I took a
little cold it settled ‘on my kidneys
and made me miserable. My back
was so stir and sore that when I tried
to get on my feet, it was as much as
my life was worth to |straighten my
body. The kidney secretions were
retarded, too. Doan’s’ Kidney Pills
helped me at once. I keep them on
hand and used them odcasionally as
a preventive.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—get
Doan’s Kidney Pills—the same that
Mr. Groge had. Foster-Milburn Co.,

FOR FARM BUREAU MEMBERS |
Pork Day is one of the big annual |
events of Kings County, Calif. It
comes in October usually. In this
contest the farm bureau center is the
unit, and every farm bureau center
in the contest advances one carload
of hogs to be exhibited and rated by
an expert judge. Every farm bureau
center must have at least six con- |
sionors to the load, thus preventing |
any big concern from exhibiting al
carload. In the contest ast fall six |
farm bureau centers as well as a
boys’ pig club took part in the con- |
test. Ten carloads were auctioned !
in addition to seven cars that had |
been in the contest. |
The county agent leader says in |
his annual report to the United
States Department of Agriculture:
“There seems to be no more con-
vincing argument to a hog producer
than to see the actual sales of his
animals take place and to know the
difference in price paid for a superior
quality animal.”
Farm bureau sales of this kind
were started in California in 1916 on
the initiative of the county agent of
Kern County. They are now becom-
ing common in all pork-producing
counties of the State. There were
175 such sales in 1920, with sales ag-
gregating $1,400,000.

East Donegal Farms
Not many farms are offered for:
gale thruout the Donegals but I have |
succeeded in lieing three within
the past few days. I am also in a po-
sition to give any young man that
has a little money, a chance to buy
these farms. I will sell any of them
and accept one-fourtn the amount in
cash next April and take mortgage
for the balance. Now if any one is
interested get busy. Call or phone
at once if interested as I propose
gelling these farms quick. They
