The Crook County Journal
Makes Clubbing Arrangement With
The Oregon Farmer
Offers Unusual Opportunity to Its Readers
AMONG our "large circle of readers
there are a great many who are in
terested directly or indirectly in
fruit growing, dairying and other
branches of farming. All of these
naturally wish to keep in close touch w ith ag
ricultural activities throughout the state;
and to know about any fight which is being
waged for the measures Oregon farmers
want and against all sorts of schemes that
are detrimental to the people and agricultural
Interests of this state.
We have, therefore, made a special clubbing
arrangement with THE OREGON FAR
MER whereby any farmer or fruitgrower,
who is one of oar regular subscribers and w ho
is not now a subscriber to THE OREGON
FARMER, will be entitled to receive THE
OREGON FARMER in combination with
this paper at the same rate as for this paper
alone,
This offer applies to all those who renew or
extend their subscriptions as well as to all
new subscribers. If you are interested dl-
rectly or indirectly in Oregon agriculture,
do not' miss this unusual opportunity, but
send your order in now.
THE OREGON FARMER is the one farm
paper which is devoting itself exclusively
to the fanning activities and interests of
Oregon. It has a big organization gath
ering the news of importance to farmers,
dairymen, fruitgrowers, stockraisers and
poultrymen; and it has the backbone to at
tack wrongful methods and combinations and
bad legislation, and support honest leaders
and beneficial measures. We are confident
that oar readers will congratulate us on our
being able to make this splendid and at
tractive dubbing offer.

WHY YOU ARE NERVOUS
The nervous system is the alarm system
of the human body.
In perfect health we hardly realize that
' we have a network of nerveB, but when
health is ebbing, when strength is declin
ing, the same nervous system gives the
alarm in headaches, tiredness, dreamful
sleep, irritability and unless corrected,
leads straight to a breakdown.
To correct nervousness, Scott's Emul
sion is exactly what you should take; its
rich nutriment gets into the blood and
rich blood feeds the tiny nerve-cells while
the whole system responds to its refresh
ing tonic force. It is free from alcohol.

There will be 30,000 Smith Form-a-Trucks

huge production will not be enough.
So if you have waited for further proof
of the wonderful economy efficiency

achievement in motor transportation,
don't wait another day.
Over 10,000 users over 450 lines of work
are all the proofs you need, and there is
not a single Smith Form-a-Truck owner
who will not say that he has cut delivery and
hauling costs from 50 to 75.
This year you not only get this wonderful attachment at
the price of a good pair of horses, but you get it adapted
to any Ford, Maxwell, Quick, Dodge Bros., Chevrolet or
Overland Car. So you can select the power plant you like
