DO YOUR BEST.
By J. J. Mt'NDT.
Just because you have not had the
years of schooling someone else has
had is no reason for you to feel that
it is hopeless for you to try to attain
greater heights in your work or ac
complishment. The use of good judgment, dis
play of interest, honesty, dependa
bility and activity, with a desire to
learn, will nearly always prove an
open sesame to the goal you seek.
t Unused ability, vigor not drawn
upon, and a negligible quantity of
true purpose to gain results where
head and hands combine, are of lit
tle value to the possessors.
-The man who uses his mental and
physical ability to the limit, even if
he has less than the other fellow,
stands a pretty good chance of suc
cess. No matter how well equipped, the
laggard is a failure.
What you lack in education, try
to make up in a receptive mind and
the necessary energy to concentrate
and pursue knowledge and work
things out by your application' in a
practical way of all you can learn.
That is what education is for, any
way, to make practical use of. The
educated lazy man won't work hard
enough, so you can see your chance,
can't you?

Parents Problems
How can a 10-year-old boy be
taught to be kind to his 6-year-old
brother?
Remind the 10-year-old that he was
once 6,' and not so very long ago!
Point out to him that he is now
much younger than his father, who
is kind to him. He will learn in time.
Be careful that the 6-year-old does
not make too great a demand upon
the forbearance of his brother.
While the quality of scntch feed
may be easily estimated by the eye,
that of mash feed is not determined
so readily and 13 dependent mqre
upon results obtained from an actual
feeding test. It is possible with
scratch feed, however, to determine
roughly the percentage of the various
grains used by the simple process of
counting the actual number of each
grain in a fair sample taken at ran
dom from, say, a hundred-pound bag
Of the mixture.
The eye can also judge the quality
of grains in scratch feed. For ex
ample, good cracked corn will be
hard and have a clean, bright ap
pearance with no evidence oj chaff A
little practice and you can tell very
quickly the various grades into which
corn, wheat, oats, barley, etc., are
divided. An examination of oats and
barley for instance will show wheth
er or not these grains are running too
much to hulls.
Quality in feed is essential to best
results. Food must be palatable to
poultry just as it is .0 humans. The
poultry raiser should study quality in
feeds, learn the purpose for which
various ingredients are used and then
insist on feeds that have such in
gredients or their equivalent.
Don't forget that corn, wheat, oats
and barley in whatever form are not
alone sufficient to give the greatest
egg yield. Animal food and green
food must be supplied in addition to
these and must be as nearly as pos
sible like that . which nature gives
the hen that nas tree range in
springtime, her natural laying sea
son. This condition, with grain 1
feeding, gives the hen a perfect ra
tion. The successful poultryman
imitates nature's springtime feed tlje
yeararound.
Ready-Mixed Feeds.
Ready-mixed poultry feeds have:
proven a great boon to small poultry j
raisers, particularly the hack-liters ,
in cities and suburbs. Lity ana su
burban dwellers do not as a rule
have storage facilities sufficiently
large to make home mixtures profit
able. To buy the various ingredients
for grain and mash mixtures at a
reasonable once, would require the
purchase of atf least a 100 pounds
of each lngredirtit. How many back
lot poultry plants are equipped to
store feed in such quantities witn
safety? It is a certainty that the
big majority are not.
Aside from this, however, one
must be pretty well informed on how
to mix the various ingredients if a
properly balanced ration is to be ob
tained. Added to this, is the incon
venience of hand-mixing. Only the
poultry raiser well versed in feeding
requirements can, in my opinion, for
mulate a home mixture that will
compare favorably to reliably man
ufactured gram and mash teeds
particularly masn leecis as inev re
quire considerable skill. j
To say that all ready-mixed feeds
are Equally good, would be making
a very broad statement. Undoubt
edly some feeds are prepared with
greater care than others and con
tain better ingredients. 1 he repu
tation attained among poultry
raisers by the manufactured brands
of feeds, the reputation of the manu
facturer and the dealers who repre
sent him, and-the earnest and sin
cere way in which the manufacturer
gets behind the various mixtures of
feed, the manner in which he backs
up his claims all these points evi
dence the value of his products.

T. F. STROUD
for
County Commissioner
Some Reasons
He did not seek the nomination, but was asked to run
by friends and business associates.
He has retired from business after a very successful
career building road machinery.
He has plenty of money and does not need the salary
or money offered for any special privileges.
He is an honest, capable business man that will run the
, county's business the same as you would want your
business run.
There are millions of dollars paid into the county for
taxes each year. It is well to have honest men guarding
and spending this money.
Mr. Stroud is the kind of a man who will look after your
interests and see that you get good roads and a square
deal at the same time.

has come to stay, lie is an asset
to the industry because he has helped
to make poultry raising easy.
Poultry Shows.
Progress in any branch of animal
husbandry is most rapid in localities
where exhibitions of stock are held.
The general average in quality of
stock in any particular section of
the country is generally reflected
in the quality of the stock at the
shows. ...
The poultry show is educational.
Much knowledge can be gained by
attending the show and studying the
great variety of birds on exhibition
It offers an excellent opportunity
for the beginner to make the deci
sion as to which variety he prefers
to raise. It is a chance to view all
varieties at close range a.d note the
many distinguishing characteristics.
All cities and towns where poul
try shows are held, should encour
age and support these exhibitions in
every way possible. The city of
Quincy is a fair example of the sort
of backing every community should
give. In Quincy, the business men
of the city, the Chamber of Com
merce and various other organiza
tions, put their shoulders to the
wheel ilorig with the poultry fanciers
and the result is that Quincy al
ways has a show that attracts at
tention throughout the entire cbun
try. In Kansas City, too, this spirit of
co-operation is very evident and it is
freely predicted among those of the
poultry fraternity, that Kansas City
at its present speed will be entitled to
national recognition as the HEART
of America's poultry show interest.
More and more the real worth of
the poultry industry is being realized
and as men of big business become
better informed of its true value,
they will be found in the front ranks
of the supporters for all movements
along educational lines.
Tlan to visit all the poultry shows
you can. Talk to the big breeders
exhibiting and learn, their views.
Many of them have devoted their
lives to this business and can give
you practical information that sel
dom gets into print.; I have never
found poultry raisers unwilling to
impart information to any who are
interested.

MR;

o
James M. Cox Is a Tested Executive
Experienced Organizer and Business Man
Jn ,His First Term as Governor of Ohio, the Great Dayton Flood.
In His Second Term, War.
In His Third Term, Reconstruction.
And in Each Emergency He Demonstrated His Courage, Resource, . Initiative
and Constructive Ability.
Thomas W. Iam on t, Republican, and a great financier, says:
"Another reason why i Vbte for COX is that in h im the country has an experienced organizer and
executive. Even his opponents admit that, as governor of Ohio, he. has done an extraordinary job in
handling the problems of labor and of capital and in introducing budgetary ana other reforms."
He Knows How to Deal With Men c
"No governor has accomplished so much in main
staining harmonious and equitable relations between em
ployers and employes," says one big Ohio manufacturer.
' ...''
He Virtually Remade Ohio ' i
- After effecting reforms in the tax system of Ohio, Gov
ernor Cox called a special session of the legislature to re
duce the tax rate and it was reduced. He is pledged to
readjustment of the national taxes.
He established a budget system and saved millions for
the state. i (
He is pledged to an additional budget.
He gave Ohio an up-to-date constitution. ;
He scrapped its outworn legislative machinery, .
Isn't that business man, the .kind of a president you
want? , -. . '
Prosperity Uuder Democratic Leadership
For the last eight years the United States has enjoyed
the greatest prosperity in its history.
From coast to coast Governor Cox noted not one
tramp, not one vagrant, in all his speaking tours.
The extravagancies and inequities of the tariff system
have been removed. .
.Under the republican banking system there was an
average of one national bank failure for every (twenty-one
days) over a period of (nearly forty years).
Under the present democratic federal reserve system
there was only one national bank failure in (every four
months) in 1916 and 1917. In the year 1918 there was one.
(In 1919 and 1920 there has been none). . ;
The disastrous recurrent panics common to republican
administrations are no more.
Think, Mr. Business Man, what this means to you !
Republican Obstructionists
Under democratic leadership, the United States has
acquired the greatest foreign trade enjoyed by any nation
in all history.
It has become a great maritime power, with a merchant
marine unsurpassed.
The republican party asks your support on the pre
tense that it will give you a superior business administra
tion. , i
Republicans have controlled congress for nearly two
years and have enacted (NOT ONE) constructive law.
They have been condemned on all sides as time wasters.
Why expect constructive policies during the next four years
from a party which has proved itself during the last two
years capable only of destructive tactics?
The republicans in congress have succeeded in nothing
but preventing ratification of the league covenant and the
treaty of peace with Germany. '
What League Means to Business
The league of nations will stabilize international cred
; its and stimulate American trade at home and abroad.
Under Article 1 of the league covenant none of the
forty-three member nations can withdraw without giving
two years' notice. Nor can the league, as a going concern,
be scrapped, as Senator Harding proposes to do, single
handed without a majority vote.
Would any sound business man offer a project so pre
posterous? If we go into the league our foreign trade. will continue .
to expand, and greater prosperity will be purs.
If We rvemain Out of the League We Lose Its Commercial Advantages.
Think It Over, Mr. Business Man!
