Some of our farmers are making
a new departure, clearing off the
unsightly thickets in their fields,
saving some good fuel and laso
bringing into cultivation good land.
A good example, which others would
do well to follow. Now, if they will
follow with 'the plow and scraper,
move the rich compost from deepest
parts to adjacent land for fertilizing,
and make deep pools to concentrate
water that gathers there, amny of
those thickets need never appear
again.
The Weather Bureau promised us
zero weather last Saturday and lack
ed only ten degrees of carrying out

Might Doubt It.
The average man is a doubter.
This is not surprising—the pub
lic have been humbugged so fre

Proof like the following will
stand investigation. It cannot
be disputed.
J. II. Willis, farmer, R. F. D.
No. 2, Newport, Ark., says: “I
suffered intensely from kidney
complaint. I had what I thought
was inflammation of the blad
der. The secretions from my
kidneys passed too frequently
particularly during the night
and my rest was broken. I at
tributed the trouble to the poor
drinking water in this locality.
Thinking that Doan’s Kidney
Pills might help me, I used them.
They permanently rid me of the
trouble.”
Price 50c., at all dealers.
