M. E. Church Notes
Rev. S. A. Draisc, Pastor
The Sunday school Christmas pro
gram is being planned. It will be
given on Christmas eve, There were
several absent scholars last Sunday.
Next Sunday will be a good day to
come again. Class number one car
ried the banner last Sunday. It was
the first time they have won it, but
not the "last time," they say. It is
a great satisfaction to the workers
to have the children so .interested,
and uf course that means that the
parents are also interested, or they
would not get them ready.. The
ideal way is to come along with them.
Why not make it boom? And why
not come and stay for church. Some
folks seem to think it would do some
body a great injury if they came to
church. Forget it. Try it on the
preacher once with something else
In mind. A full 'house would bring
forth a good sermon. There is
about as much inspiration in ar
empty church peW as there is in an
empty coal bin on a cold day.
The program to be given at the
M. E. Ladies Bazaar in the evening
will consist of community singintj
led by Mrs, Mason.
Violin solos by( Kathryn Warner.
Readings by Lucille Morgan, Glad
ys Armbright, and Neva Ramsey.

Catarrhal Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local application!, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of tho ear. There la
only one way to cure catarrhal Vafnesi,
and that Is by a constitutional remedy.
Catarrhal Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed, condition of the mucous lining; of
the Eustachian Tube. When this tubo Is
Inflamed you have a rumbling sound or Im
perfect hearing, and when It Is entirely
closed. Deafness Is the result. Unless tho
Inflammation can bo reduced and this tubo
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever. Many cases of
deafness are caused by catarrh, which Is
an inflamed condition of the mucous sur
faces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru
the blood on the mucous surfaces of the
system.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any cose of Catarrhal Deafness that cannot
be cured by Hall's Catarrh Medicine. Cir
culars free. All Druggists, 75c.

A SQUARE DEAL FOH
THE FARMEH x
Because prices of foodstuffs are high and farm
ers appear prosperous, people out of touch with the
present market situation and the causes behind it
are using the word "profiteer" without reason or
justification.
Do not let the comparatively few instances of the
Farmers' prosperity which come to your attention, lead you to
believe that present price levels are making all farmers rich.
Remember, many farmers were well-to-do before the war.
Present prices have enabled them to increase their prosperity,
but where one farmer Is approaching affluence there are nine
who, for the first time in their lives, are only getting a fair
return for their labor und Investment.
Give the farmer a square deal.

11EEF PRODUCTION
(From Farm Bureau News).
Nebraska Experiment Station bul
letin No. 174 which has just been is
sued gives a report of tho findings
in their last cattle feeding experi
ment finished last April. The cat
tle used were of Shorthorn breeding,
WeTghing an averago of 830 lbs. at
tho, time they were put into tho test,
and costing $9.78 per 100 lbs.
The shelled corn graded No. 5, and
wad valued at $1.40 per bu. Tho
snapped corn was of a low grade fig
ured at $1.60 per 100 lbs. The cot
tQn seed nut cake cost $60 per ton,
the alfalfa hay $25 per ton. Tho
silage, which contained 5 bushels of
corn to a ton, was figured at $10 per
ton. Tho corn fed tho pigs following-
these cattle, where extra feeding
wok necessary, was figured at $1.40
per bushel. This, however, was only
dorie in lot 5 whore silage furnished
thebnly corn fed.
The following summary gives the
results of tho experiments:
I? The addition of 1.71 pounds of
cottonsnod nut enkn to n. rnrn nnrl
alfalfa, ration' failed to increaso the
rate of daily gain, but did increase
tho feed required por pound gain by
.86 pound and the cost of 100 pounds
of gain by $2.16. It also decreased
the -profit $2.05 per steer. (Lots 1
and2.)
II The grinding of corn and al
falfa when fed in conjunction with
cottonseed nut cake gavo a .32 pound
per day larger gain at a materially
reduced cost por 100 pounds gain,
namqly$2.08, and increased tho profit
per head from $5.56 to $11. It also
reduced the pork produced per steer
front 42.6 . pounds to 28.9 pounds.
(Lots 2 and 3.)
III. Tho feeding of snapped corn,
cottonseed nut cake and alfalfa hay
in comparison to shelled corn, cot
tonseed, nut cako and alfalfa hay gavo
a slightly greater dally gain and a
$5 cheaper cost per 100 pounds of
gain. Tho feeding of tho snapped
corn ?ave, excluslvo of pork, a profit
of $13.87, in comparison to $1.26 loss
where shelled corn was fed; rind in
clusive of pork, a profit of $19.85 in
comparison to $5.56. (Lots 2 and 4.)
IV. rThe feeding of a heavy Bllago
ration did not produco as much fin
ish as tho feeding of corn in con
junction with cottonseed nut cake
and alfalfa, but dd result in consid
erable fleshing and a market price
which loft a margin of profit. Tho
margin of profit per steer amounted
to $1.49, in spito of the fact that the
sales prJco was $1 per 100 pounds
less- than whore the steers received a
heavy? feed of corn. (Lots 2 and G.)

i this test may be obtained from the

Nebraska Apples bring Big Returns
Though Nebraska apples wero less
than three-fourths of a crop this
year many growers made good profits,
according to College of Agriculturo
Extension Horticulturists. Ono man
sold $3,000 worth of apples from six
and a half acres of trees. Another
received $6,000 from tho apples oiC(
uii uiu jiugiucicu orcnaru oi jorty
acres, while another sold $6,000 worth
of apples from a young twenty-acre
orchard. Pruning, spraying and
cultivation brought good returns from
old and neglected orchards. Tho
College is conducting a campaign for
better caro of trees and for moro
homo orchards. Much of Nebraska
is a good apple country if proper caro
is given tho trees.
