DON'T RAISE WEEDS!
USE A JONES WEEDER
Built in Morrow County
fm
(Patented Dec, 16, 1913)
There has !oon a great need for a machine to cultivate mm
mcrfallow that would do it thoroughly with the least possible loss of
moisture mid "do it quick."
Wo claim the Jones Wceder will do all of this and more. It
can he used in ns many sections as wanted, like a harrow. Four
sections cut 18 feet 8 inches and pull no heavier than four sections
of steel harrow.
The blades having u slope of (10 it will not choke under nor
mal conditions.
I am now putting up 100 sections. Parties wanting this
maul due should send in their orders at once.
For further information, prices, etc., write or see

By Wireless.
Apropos of wj.at is going on in
( ojjgrefcis, C. C. Goodwin of Good
win weekly tl.ii,ks that a wireless
report !!;. the following would be
more j -rotable than many of the dis-yiSj-hit
revived daily.
i. ii. "Of course, U. S., you will
hVji all ti e free tolls chatter that Is
;o4u? oh in your country."
V. SS. " Vi'hy should I John?"
i. B. "IcaaBe it is so nominated
tl.? bofid. Hath net the intent
aud p'j.-p-, of the law full relation
to the p'r.aKy?. I crave the law."
V. B. "My over-sea ships will
pay the eame tolls that all nations
vill pay on tr.cir ships. Is not that
enough?
J. B. "You have no over-sea ships
to speak of. We have attended to
that. While we pay millions in sub
sidies and bounties, we pay thous
ands to some of your great newspa
pers, to point out to your gullible
people what a si ame it would be to
pay subsidies to American ships to
make some rich ship owners money,
to make them still richer.
"We have played that game suc
cessfully for forty-five years, but It
has cost us a great deal of money to
keep some of your strong newspa
pers from telling the truth."
U. S. "Has the canal cost you
anything?"
J. B. "Not a penny."
V. S. If it is never paid for, will
you be out a dollar?"
J. B. "Not one."
U. S. Had I not built the canal
would you have built it?"
J. B. "Not much. The risk I
would have held would have been
top great."
U. S. "Then all your present in
terest has been obtained by bluff
ing?"
J. B. "Please use a less vulgar
word? Call it diplomacy"
U. S. "What interest have you In
my coast shipping?"
J. B. "Directly, none. Indirect
ly, a vast amount."
V. S. "In what way?"
I. B. "I will cite one case which
you can understand. Did you notice
what your consul at Salinas Crus
told your newspapers when hi
reached California on Tuesday last
That the business of the Tehuantepec
railroad averaged 2.000,000 ton. an
nually, that formerlv it was nearly
all from abroad but now it is moit
than half from the United States?
Well, with tolls on your coast shipp
ing suppose one of my ships takes on
coal at St. John or Halifax, runs
down to one of your posts and takes
on a cargo for Tehuantepec, unloads
ships the cargo across the 178 miles
of road end loads it upon another
English steamer for San Francisco.
The tolls paid by your ships and the
cost ot coal which would be burned
in the 1,600 miles extra, the dis
tance from Salinas Cruz to Panama,
would be more than the transship
ment over the railroad.
Of course American ships could
not do that for the Tehuantepec rail
road is English and would of course
charge you, a foriegner, more than
it would charge home ships for
blood lp thicker than water."
U. S. "Then your .purpose is to
destroy my coast shipping as yoa
have my oversea shipping?"
J. B. "Do not speak so bluntly,
please. Have we not the word of
yoi-r president, secretary of state
and many learned senators, represen
tatives and great newspapers, thai
It is not a matter of money but your
sacred honor is at stake?"
U. S. "Have you any other be
nevolent schemes in mind, through
which to fleece me.
J. B. "Really your vocabulary is
more plain than polite. But in the
Interest of trade I do not mind in
forming you that we are watching
with a good deal of interest your
proposed treaty with Columbia. If
that goes through we have an idea
that Columbia will be a great mar
itime power within a year. It is not
dillicult. ' It is not difficult to lower
the cross of St. George from a top
mast and run up the flag of Colum
bia, if there is no special change of
ownership and it is necessary in the
interest of trade. Have you not no
ticed the unstinted praise which our
English press has heaped upon vou
for your enterprise in building the
canal? Do you want evervthinrr?'
Tremendous Meat Shortage.
In the last three years our popula
tion has Increased by about seven
millions, our appetite for meat has
grown in proportion and the supply
oi cauie, nas as steadily declined
To give our present population the
same supply as the country enjoyed
in laio would require 18,259,000
more meat cattle, sheep and swine
than we now have. Putting the
comparison on a smaller basis, the
Department of Agriculture shows
that there are nine less beef cattle,
seven less sheep, and three less hogs
now for each one hundred persons
than there were in 1910. The value
of cattle during the same period has
increased by $400,000,000. While
this, as the Agricultural Depart
ment points out, may not mean that
farmers or stockraisers are making
any more profit, because of increased
cost of production, it does reveal an
opportunity for every farmer in the
country. With the ranges cut into
farms, and no more range lands to
fall back upon, it is up to every far
mer to become a meat producer, or
the shortage will be greater and
prices higher in the future than
now.

this reforestation may not have an
