Calf
Chow
j[s Different
Yes it's unlike any calf meal on the market.
It’s different because it’s better.
Every ingredient is a pure feed of recognized value, no
“ hony” products of unknown worth. It does not con-
Jn anise, or any appetizer. Calves eat it as greedily as
thcy do whole milk.
It docs not scour; blood flour is one of the important
ingredients,
v/hich insures freedom from scours.
Easy to feed, no boiling, just mix with warm water.
It is balanced ju;t like whole milk. Calves thrive from
,hc first on Purina Calf Chow and it
keeps them making gains without sickly
periods. It is used by many of the best
dairy farms in the country to raise the
finest calves.
!foh But it is cheap enough to use on any
calf, costs less than half as much as milk
feeding. So easy to feed that boys or
girls are assured of success.
Stop in and talk it over.
PURINA!

Messrs. W. S. Brown and J. G
Moon, prominent farmers of the Tan-
KI (Wood community, were callers Fri-1
day, and both have our thanks for sub- i
acription favors.
I ■ B. Wootton was over from Cam-
eron Saturday, and paid The Reporter
an appreciated call. Tom has recently
sold his interest in the bakery business
at the county seut, and says he may
decide to get some “easy money” by
resuming his old trade as a carpenter.
1. W. Moseley, from out on Route
3. called Tuesday to renew his sub-
'“ription. Bro. Moseley has been
fighting the flu a few rounds recently I
and says it has thrown him behind
with his farm work.
L- p- Hairston, of the Sipe -Springs
community, was numbered among our
Saturday callers, Mr. Hairston says
he tried fertilizing a part of his corn
crop last year and was so well satis-
fied with results that he will ferti-
lize his entire crop, both corn and
cotton this year.
Henry Luetge, from out on Route
was a caller Saturday, paying for
b- more doses of Reporter medicine.
He reported farming conditions com-
ing along slowly, and the ground tl-ll
too wet to plow in spots.
A. H. Brown, of the Freezeout com-
munity, was a caller last Friday, pay-
ing for 52 doses of Reporter medicine.
He reports the farmers rapidly catch-
ing up with their work, corn land all
ready for planting and farming con-
ditions generally good, with every-
body hoping for a few weeks more
dry weather.
( P. Anderson, of Hicks, Route 1,
is one of The Reporter’s appreciated
new readers. Mr. Anderson is a son
of the late Dr. G. A. Anderson, of
Tnnglewood, one of the pioneer physi-
cians of this section of the state. Mr.
Anderson reports farm work moving
forward rapidly.
Uncle Tom Swanzy called Friday
find bought 52 more doses of Reporter
medicine. Unde Tom says he had
fourteen cases of flu at his home, and
that farming operations have conse-
quently been slowed up. He reports
corn planting started and nearly
everybody ready to plant.

J. C. Hawthorn, of Milano, Route 3,
was a caller while in the city Friday.
Mr. Hawthorn reports farming oper-
| ations coming along, and smart fel-
| lows like Rufe Wilson planting corn.

stock and better stock,” and has quit
raising scrubs of any kind.

All of those who have not got the
flu are out at work this beautiful
morn. Some have planted corn others
will plant this week. Gardens are
being planted also this week while
others have garden stuff up but we
think this cold weather will do them
damage. Seems as though winter
will never be over. We were visited by
a nice little rain Saturday evening
which was needed as some of the land
had become clodded and hard, but the
cold norther which followed was not
welcomed.
Herbert Menn, of the Buschdale
community, called Tuesday to get 52
more doses of Reporter medicine. Mr.
Menn, on account of sickness in his
family, had neglected renewing and
has been without his Reporter since
January, and he said he never intend-
ed to do that agan, as he found him-
self absolutely lost without it. The
Reporter, Mr. Menn says, is an in-
dispensable necessity in his household.
Besides the immediate relatives
the following friends from out of town
were here Monday for the funeral of
J. W. Perry: Rev. W. A. Hamlett,
of Austin; Mrs. John Wright, San An

The Cameron papers last week gave
the news of the death of J. J. Irwin at
the Confederate Home in Austin. Capt.
Irwin was nearly 90 years of age and
had been a citizen of Cameron since
1872 until he went to the Home to
live a few years ago. He was quite
well known over the county, having
made an active campaign for a county
office about six years ago, and at that
time, in spite of his age, he covered
the county and put up an active fight
for the office.
The Reporter quit swapping sub-
scriptions for stoveyvood and “sich”
several years ago, but when J. L.
Modesett of the Duncan community
dropped into the sanctum sanctorum
Saturday and showed us a batch of
home-cured smoked sausage we im-
mediately decided that a “fair ex-
change was no robbery,” and swapped
him 52 doses of Reporter medicine for
several yards of sausage. Mr. Modesett
says the blackland farmers are about
to catch up with the season and every-
body is either planting corn or ready
to plant.
LOOK FORWARD NOT BACKWARD
Will you sit and worry about .he
“flu” and the high cost of living while
other young people are taking action
to prepare themselves to meet ihe de-
mands of business? Training is the
one thing that makes a difference be-
tween the executive and ihe n.-in in
overalls. We are entering a period in
which business training is more neces-
sary than ever. The next five years
in this country will be the most pro-
gressive, prosperous and successful in
our history. It will mean to you much
or little in accordance with the man-
ner you will be prepared to meet it.
There will be no time to train the un-
illed in the business office.
Business is moving ahead by leaps
;i::d bound* Every paper is carrying
many advertisements for commercially
trained help. A country wide inves-
tigation of Employment conditions, to
get information as to tha help in
greatest demand, shows the following
results: 1338 of 2445 advertisements
for help specified a business training,
and 524 of the remaining 1107 adver-
tisements were for positions that of-
fice assistants grow into. No other
profession can claim one fifth as groat
a demand. In fact, this proves that
there is a greater demand for business
training than all other trades and pro-
fessions combined. Are you passing
up a business training and its wonder-
ful opportunities to become a day

WE REDUCE
Car Cost
We Eliminate Waste' *
The cost of gas is a big element in the maintainance of your
car. Gas expense can be materially reduced by a proper
adjustment of all working parts of your engine and car.
A car improperly adjusted does not work to advantage—
it “pulls” against the engine. And every minute of such a
pull means the loss of power and waste of gas.
Loose piston rings, carbon in your engine, clogging of
your oil tubes, hardening of grease in the cups, all of these
are power destroyers and gas eaters.
Start the spring motoring with a thoroughly overhauled
car. It prevents undue wear and tear, increases the power
and will pay for itself in the saving of gas.
We make a specialty of reducing the cost of operating
your car.

For those who are in need of a rem-
edy for kidney troubles and backache,
it is a good plan to try Doan's Kidney
Pilln. Ask your neighbor. They are
strongly recommended by Rockdale
people.
Mrs. M. Winterberg, Rockdale, says:
“At different times during the past
twenty years, I have had pains in my
back and aide that have come from
