Boston Jan. 1. The first retire-
ment system for state employes to be
established In thlg country was put
Into effect In Massachusetts today.
The new system which was created
by an act ot the legislature last year
Is not In reality a pension system but

ance (or public employes.
The retirement fund Is made up In
part of state contributions with as-
sessments upon the empolyes amount-
ing to not less than one and not more
than five per cent ot their wages as
the administrative board beaded by
the state treasurer shaU determine.
The funds are to be placed at Interest
with a semi-annual compounding and
when a person retires the amount that
the fund will yield Is equaled by a
contribution from the state. The total
of the annuity or pension is not to
exceed half of the wages paid at the
time of retirement but it shall in no
case be less than $200. Employes may
retire at the age of sixty and they
. must retire at seventy. Employes who

To the Farmers of Texas:
The Texas Industrial Congress Is
formulating plans for agricultural
prizes for 1912 and will make condi-
tions public Just as soon as practica-
ble. In the meantime we advise all
farmers who may or may not enter
the contests to plow all of the land
that they expect to cultivate for
prizes or otherwise at least one Inch
deeper than heretofore and when it
Is practicable to do so to follow in
the regular furrow with a bull-tongue
going six to ten inches deeper but
turning up no new soil. This will
cause the earth to hold more of the
winter rains to be used during the
coming season. Plow and harrow until
you have a practically perfect seed
bed six or eight inches deep; plow
around Instead of up and down the
slopes to prevent washing; terrace
when it Is necessary and drain well
if the land needs It. Rotate and di-
versify your crops save and use every
pound of manure ot all kinds and put
It on the land. Do not burn stubbles
or grass or any other substauce green
or dry that would decay in the earth
but plow it all under. Get ready for
a better crop than ever but prepare to
plant some kaffir corn as a safeguard
against a dry season. As far as it Is
possible to do so prepare to raise your
own bread meat vegetables fruit and
feed and then put a moderate amount
of land In cotton and by best methods
get larger returns and consequently
an Increased profit on a smaller acre-
age. Increase your ability to live well
and surround yourself with all neces-
sary comforts and as many luxuries
as possible by stopping waste in the
nome on the farm and in transit.

STOMACH DISTRESS.
Gas and Sourness Vanish.
What's the ' use of always feeling
miserable just because your stomach
isn't behaving itself?
Don't you know that scores of thou
sands of people have changed bad
stomachs into perfect working ones by
thn simple method of swallowing one
or two little MI-O-NA stomach tablets
after each meal ?
. MI-O-NA is compounded from the
formula of what is probably the best
prescription for Indigestion and upset
stomach ever written. E. J. Jenkins
the druggist guarantees It.
It relieves distress In- five minutes
but better still it removes 'the cause
of misery in a few days.

thoroughly and not temporarily. Read
this carefully:
L. B. Kern Bryan Texas says: "I
can not recommend Doan's Kidney
Pills too highly as they weYe of great
benefit to me. Sharp pains In my back
kept me from sleeping and as the
result I felt miserable in every way.

results that were gratifying."
