Lyons Ruth Lyona Katered at the Postoffice in Sterling, Kansas, as Second Class Matter SUBSCRIPTION $2.00 A YEAR A BUSINESS LIKE POLICY Dealing with other nations in a friendly but business like way--in a manner befitting a nation with self respect, is the policy of Presidentelect Harding.

In a speech at Kansas City on October 8 he said, concerning the debts owed to the United States by European countries: "I know what I would try to do if I had the authority. I'd try to get some definite word on how and when it could be paid. I'd ask Europe in neighborly consideration if they did not think we ought to figure out how and when they could pay. There should be a readjustment by a promise to pay in negotiable bonds of Europe. Offer these to Americans and get $10,000,000,000 that would go a long way in eliminating unnecessary war taxes with which we are.

now burdened." Mr. Harding does not promise to go at our debtors in a brusque or offensive fashion, but in a "neighborly" way, just as individual neighbors would do who expected to remain on friendly terms. He would have a definite agreement, which is far less likely to lead to trouble than if matters are left in a vague and indefinite state, resulting in misunder-1 standing. That is the only right way to proceed and we can only regret that, after the people voted for a change in national administration could not get it early i in December instead of early in March. Great weather we are having--but don't pack the snow shovel away in moth balls yet.

FIRST NOTICE The Publisher's Responsibility Much demoralizing reading is printed on the plea that "the public wants it" A mother might as excusably give her child the glistening arsenic for which it crys. The publisher bears a responsibility to society like that of the preacher or the teacher. This, at any rate, is the view of the Publishers of The Youth's Companion. From its first issue to the present it has been a constant force for character building. And with all that it has been so widely edited that no publication exists of more varied charm, more inexhaustible and refreshing sources of interest.

The 52 issues of the coming year will be crowded with serial stories, short stories, editorials, poetry, and fun. Only $2.50 for an of readng equal to thirty-five volumes of fiction, humor, Youth's Companion, Commonweath Ave. St. Paul Boston, Mass.

What is that? If he remains rooted to the spot, he can't branch out.

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED STOCK FOODS Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices Charged Are UnwarrantedMakes His Own Hog Food, With Better Results "That he is through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog remedies and that he is raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market" was the statement made recently by E. H.

Beckstead, well-known hog raiser and autority on live-stock. Mr. Beckstead's hogs are the envy of his neighbors, and have "topped the market" for several years in Iowa. He states that for years he bought high-priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of his wonderful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated minerals and costs only a couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a hundred pounds.

All hogs, and especially brood sows, require minerals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of dition, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This inexpensive mixture placed in a sheltered box where the hogs can get at it as they need it, will produce far better results than any high priced so-called stock foods. Send two dollars to The Mineraline Chemical 1638 North Wells Chicago, and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make full hundred pounds. 6-4 NOTICE OF FINAL SETTLEMENT (First published Feb. 3rd, 191.)
