Pian now for the
balance of this year.
The results next
fall largely depend
upon the fore-
thought given to cultivation, fertilization, and the
quality of seed you intend to plant.
Intensive cultivation of your land, properly ferti-
lized and sown with Registered or Government
Tested seed is the best assurance of profitable
results.
If you need a Farm Improvement Loan or money
to carry out any profitable program this year, come

Mrs. William Shannon read the ad-
dress and made the presentation.
Rev. W. J. Patton then introduced
Rev. U. Cronhiem of Benmiller, who.
was a missionary in Tibet for five.
years. He showed lantern slides and
gave a very interesting lecture on
life in Tibet. This country is very.
hilly. stoney, and the land is scarcely
cultivated. There are no roads of
any account. One of the main facts
as seen from the lantern slides was
the poverty of the rank. and file
of the people. Nearly all the people
are illiterate and only the very
wealthy had adequate clothing. The
poor people were clad in rags. They
have no fuel and no fires. One pic-
ture revealed a girl of ten years
whose bones appeared to be cutting
the skin.
Rev. W. J. Patton moved a vote
of thanks to Rev. U. Cronheim, to
the children who took part in the pa-
geant and to all who had helped in
any way. The closing hymn, "`The
day Thou gayest, Lord is ended" was
sung and Rev. W. J. Patton pro-
nounced the benediction.

We are trying to keep prices down—realizing that i
inflation is so easy to start and so difficult to stop.
It starts with little things, like everyday com-
modities, a few pennies increase here and there.
Hardly noticeable .at first, then suddenly we
realize our money doesn't go as far as it used to.—
We have slashed prices, in many cases 20' ; or
more in the hope it will help us all to gain a more
firm foundation for prosperity in the future.
