Mackin tosh reports conditions in tho Dakotas Montana and Wyoming to bo terrible, tho dry weather has ruined tho hay and dried up tho creeks so that cattle men must cither sou their stock or ship tc other states, whero tho grass Is still good. Hay in these states is already selling for from $20 to ?30 per ton. Wo drove up to Sarben Sunday af ternoon, crossed tho south river at Paxton and came down tho south side to the state farm. Tho trip was somewhat of an oyo-opener as to, tho extent of crops grown, and especially was this true of the section south of the river between Paxton and Horshoy, whero one sees hundreds of acres of wheat and oats in tho stack and hun dreds and hundreds of acres of corn that was in tho pink of condition Sundayi TOO WILD IN CELEBRATION , f Americana In Parla, Relented From the Horrora of Trenchea, Somewhat Astonlth the French. Not the lenst of our prldb In the ex peditionary force wn8 Its good behav ior. For general morals wo were the prize winners. But, of course, foldlcrs In a nonprohlbltlon country will get drunk now nnd then. Ono reason for our prohibition wave is tho fact that many Americans have no moderation lu their use of alcohol, and that they sometimes tend, when drunk, to tear up the sidewalks,' writes Will lrwiu, in the Suturday Evening Post. Your French pollu, who, In Ids reac tion from the trenches took to liquor, got a blissful nnd gonial Jng, which ex pressed Itself lu talkativeness nnd in flirtation. The American whooped It up. As two coyotes on a moonlight night can give tho impression of a whole wolf pack, so two drunken Americans could give the appcaruuee of a drunk en army. They might bo surrounded by fifty pollus, all half sens over; It was tho Americans whom one noticed. TIiIh tendency brought its most de plorable effects In Paris. Tho capital of the world wns not a lenvc center. Nevertheless nil sorts of commissions and activities centered there; soldiers were constantly coming and going on military errands; moreover, though Tarls was ofllclnlly barred, men never theless got Paris lenvc by pull or ca jolery. In spite of the provost marshal nnd tho military police wo nlwnys nnd the American drunk with is) uiul when present ho nlwnys announced himself. The French, who, as I have said, grow merely genially expansive with liquor, dtd not like this. LOCAL AND I'EKSONAL it Mrs. Joo Sullivan, of Brndy, spent Saturday, with frionds in town".

As soon ns women have tho vote nnd tho league of nations becomes n renllty, says Dr. Annn Howard Shaw, she Is going to be a "gay young girl." As It is, no one would suspect her of being past seventy. And she likes to tell stories on herself, This Is one sho told in Indianapolis to a group of friends: "When I was in California recently, folks kept coming up to me nnd say ing. 'How young you look, In most surprised tones. Well, it begnn to wear on me. Why shouldn't I look young? So when n young girl came up and said It for the 'steenth time, I said, 'So do you look young.' "And then I learned the renson for all the surprise. The newspapers had been told that I was in California in '00 with Miss Antiiony. It had some how got twisted to read: 'Dr. Shaw wus ninety-six when she wns here with Miss Anthony. That would have made me nbout 120 years old." Caught at Last. A father said to his pretty daugh ter one morning: "What time did you send that young Simpson home last night?" "Oh," replied the girl, "I don't think It was very late." "It must have been close to mid night I" "Why,, father?" "Didn't you send him out tho back door nnd hurry off to bed' when you beard me coming In?" -"Why, futher, I had been In bed for hours." "You heard me, then?" "Yes, you woke me up." " 4And you had been in bed for Hours?" "Ur huh I" "Thnt certainly Is funny I" "Why?" "Because when I went to light tht lamp I nenrly burned my hands of! on the hot chimney." -Youngstown Tele gram, No More Insects or Plant Diseases.

Do not discard the sprayers nnd Insecticides, however, ns they will still be useful to combat tho old and lMw troubles that are bound to appear, THE UNIVERSAL CAR The Ford One Ton Truck may well be classed as an agricultural necessity, it fits into and fills so many wants on the farm. It is a reliable bearer of farm burdens; not only doing the work of several horses The Farmer's Truck quicker and better than the horse, and does not "eat its head off" when not working. The aggressive farmer has only to consider the possibilities of the Ford truck and he is ready to buy one. We judge this to be so from, the way farmers are buying them. Truck Chassis $550 f. o. b.
