Five bushels an acre is too much to pay for inaccu-
racy. No wonder our performance-restoring IH 5-Star
planter service is such a bargain!
Today’s 4 to 5-mile-an-hour planting speeds multiply
the waste caused by worn parts, sluggish operation.
If you’ve used your planter several seasons, it prob-
ably needs service. Whether you,check or drill or hill-
drop, it will pay you to re-
store your planter to "like
new” performance. Call us
for a pre-season inspection
date—today!

And whisper, “I wish you well,

In a way that he’d understand.

The building boom of the last few
years has been accompanied by a ris-
ing trend in the number of homes
mortgaged by their owner-occupants,
according to data compiled by the
Federal Reserve System.
The number of such mortgaged
homes increased by about 1 % million
between 1949 and early 1951 with the
total estimated at 10 y2 million on the
latter date. The proportion of mort-
gaged residences was 47 percent of
the total number of homes in the
United States early in 1951 as com-
pared with a ratio of 45 percent two
years earlier.

I’d like to give him that cheering
word
That I’ve often longed to hear,
And give him the warm hand clasp
When never a friend seemed near.
I’ve gained my knowledge through
sheer hard work
And would like to pass it on
To the fellow that’s going to take my
place
Some day when I am gone.
Will he see all the sad mistakes I’ve
made
And note all the battles lost?
Will he ever guess at the tears they
brought
Or the heart aches that they cost?
But I’ve only the task itself to leave,
With the cares for him to face,
And never a cheering word from me
To the fellow who’ll take my place.
I wish you all success, old chap,
May your wishes be never denied,
I leave an unfinished task for you,
But God knows how I’ve tried.
I’ve dreamed my dreams, as all men
do,
But very few came true;
And my prayer today is that all these
dreams
May be realized by you.
We shall meet some day in the great
beyond,
Out in that realm of space,
You’ll know my clasp as I take your
hand
And gaze into your face.
Then all our failures will be a success
In the light of the new found dawn;
And I’ll wish success to the man
Who’ll take my place when I’m gone.

AUSTIN. — Inasmuch as the inci-
dence of whooping cough in Texas is
expected to show an increase during
the coming months, Dr. Geo. W. Cox,
State Health Officer, released a state-
ment today urging that strenuous ef-
forts be made to control the spread of
this debilitating childhood disease.
There were 1,273 cases .reported the
first five weeks of this year.
“Whooping cough can only be con-
tracted by direct exposure to the dis-
ease, and isolation of cases must be
universally practiced if the increase
is to be controlled,” Dr. Cox stated.
“The infectious agent or germ of
whooping cough is transmitted by
droplets expelled in coughing, sneez-
ing, or speaking,” Dr. Cox said. “The
discharges from the nose and throat
are dangerous to susceptible persons;
the need for early recognition and
careful isolation of whooping cough
is obvious. Your family physician
should be called at the first sign.”
“The first symptom of this disease
is usually a dry cough, which persists
day and night and tends to become
increasingly severe. The disease is
fully developed when vomiting of
food and whooping accompany the
paraxysm of cough.” Dr. Cox stressed
the fact that children who have
whooping cough should not attend
school or come in contact with other
children until three weeks after the
appearance of typical signs of the
disease.
“Prevention and control of whoop-
ing cough, especially among infants
and small children, may be accom-
plished through use of approved vac-
cine and convalescent serum,” Dr.
Cox said, and it is important that suqh
measures be taken to protect them.
Neglecting to do so, and allowing the
young child to suffer an attack of this
disease, may seriously impair his fu-
ture health.”
MEMPHIS, Tenn.—Dog food makes
dandy harsh for husbands who don’t
know what they are eating, says a
Memphis housewife. She let hei- hus-
band eat dog food by mistake several
years ago. Since them, she says, he
has demanded that she keep “plenty
of that good hash” on hand.

RICHMOND, Va.—The statistician'
at the Virginia Department of Agri-
culture sometimes wishes that he’d
taken up some other line of work.
Henry M. Taylor says Virginia’s
farmers estimate their corn yields in.
“barrels.” That would be all right
if they all meant the same thing.
But they don’t. Farmers in the
Shenandoah Valley mean one thing
when they say “barrel”; farmers in
Eastern Virginia mean a unit much
larger. In between the two regions is
a no-man’s-land and a statistician can
only guess what a farmer means
when he send in his crop report.
Taylor is philosophical about the
situation, however. He remembers
the prohibition days when farmers
sometimes estimated their corn in
gallons.

TOO BUSY TO SEND
BILL FOR $507,323
MILWAUKEE.—The City of Mil-

never had been billed for $507,323
worth of building material and sewer
castings it bought foi' 1946.
The fuel dealer who made the sale,
Lee Schneider, remained in seclusion
Monday.
His wife, however, offered an ex-
planation:
“There has been so much business
he hasn’t been able to clean up the
loose ends,” she said.

NEW YORK.—An elderly woman
sat in hex- hotel room Thursday of
last week and prayed that police
would recover a lost black bag con-
taining $17,800 in cash and jewelry
valued at $15,000.
The woman, Mrs Betty Bates, a
widow about seventy years old, told
police she kept the money with her
because she lost faith in banks.
Shortly after midnight, January 13,
she went to a cafeteria near her ho-
tel, carrying the little black bag. She
placed it on a chair and put her coat
over it. When she finished eating
she could not find her check and
went searching for it. Her coat was
on the floor and the bag gone when
she returned to her table.

A simple way to clean venetion
blinds is to put on a pair of work
gloves and use them to wipe dust
from the slats. Turn the gloves in-
side out, put silver cleaning powder
on them, and polish your silver.
So new putty will have the chance
to harden, wait a few days after in-
stalling window glass before cleaning
or painting the window.
To clean plaster walls covered with
an oil-base paint, a solution of tri-
sodiitm phosphate in warm water is
good. Use about an ounce of phos-
phate to a gallon of water. The stuff
is harmless to the hands.
Keep a fire in the fireplace over-
night by putting a shoveful of dead
ashes over the embers. Set a wire
screen in front to hold stray sparks.
Nexa morning a handful of wood
chips on the embers and a few puffs
of your own should start your fire
blazing again.
Sharpen up old dulled scissors by
cutting through a piece of sandpaper
once or twice.
MOTHER APPEALS
TO DOG POISONER
AS CHILD FALLS ILL
FORT WORTH.—A young Poly-
technic mother whose child was seri-
ously ill last week appealed to a dog
poisoner Monday “to stop his dirty
business endangering the lives of
children” in the neighborhood.
Mrs. J. R. Johns of 4012 Ave. L said
that she suspects her 2%-year-old
boy, Bruce, was sick possibly from
poisoned meat strewn in her yard for
dogs.
One dog was found dead from
poisoning Wednesday. Another, also
belonging to Mrs. John’s next door
neighbor, died Sunday. A leg of
chicken was lying near the second
dog.
So many people who get a dog do
so because they want one “that will
be a good watch dog.”
That’s all very well and good—up
to a point, declares Harry Miller, di-
rector of the Gaines Dog Research
Center, New York. Unfortunately,
he states, so few people realize that a
dog trained to be hostile to all stran-
gers may take a slice out of rich
Uncle Joe who is just coming for a
surprise visit, or bite some youngster
who climbs over the garden fence
just as readily as he will attack a
burglar.
That home is rare indeed which re-
quires the services of a specially-
trained guard dog, who renders his
best service on large estates, in bus-
iness houses, industrial plants and
civil and military institutions of va-
rous kinds. What the average fam-
ily needs for guarding the home is the
average house dog, Mr. Miller says.
He notes that an ordinary family dog
will usually bark loudly and in vary-
ing degrees; in friendly greeting
when someone comes to the door,
warningly when an intruder creeps
into the cellar or when a fire breaks
out unexpectedly.
If some stranger with a bludgeon
in his hand attempts to sneak up on
some member of the family, this same
house pet may very likely take a
piece out of the intruder’s leg, or at
least interfere with his work. The
dog will likewise probably raise a
considerable rumpus if some stranger
tries to snatch the baby out of its car-
riage.
The true guard dog, on the other
hand, must be trained as such, he
states. He is taught to be hostile to
everyone, ready to
slightest provocation.
most of the time; for there’s nothing
like being chained up a lot to develop
an unfriendly attitude in a dog. And
he must be chained up, or kenneled,
when not under direct supervision of
his owner.
