We cordially invite you to open an ac
count with us with the beginning of
'1922. You will receive a genuine wel
come and if you are in doubt about
coming to us we refer you to anyone of
our present customers, who are our
friends and we are their friends.
We take this occasion to thank our
good friends for their patronage and
co-operation which has enabled us to
make the past year a successful and
happy one.
We cannot face the year 1922 with
out a word of caution. Condtions are
more favorable here than in most parts
of the United States and before 1922
is out we may feel the depression some
what. So it will not be amiss to build
up a cash reserve and keep it handy or
else invest in high-grade easily convert
ible bonds. Any waste or extravagance
will likely come out of principal rather
than profits; hence economy and care
ful buying is in order.

GRAIN OF WHEAT
IS VERY PRODUCTIVE
Bootlegger Liquor Will Be
Getting in Its Effect
About 1926.
j Vallodolid, Spain, Dec. 30. An ex
'perminent to show fecundity of a grani
of wheat ha just been concluded at
the official school of agriculture here
with the result that one grain produced
in a year 322.000 grains.
At the end of July 100 grains were
Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 30. Undertak
ers will have a prosperous year about
1926 in the opinion of analytic and
I consulting chemists here, because, they
' claim, the Grim Reaper is whetting
his, scythe for a harvest of prohibition
liquor drinkers.
J Hundreds of persons are slowly but
' surely asphyxiating themselves accord
ing to J. M. Kovachy, assistant city
chemist, by unsuspectingly assimilating
the poisons found in almost every
sample of what was believed to be
"pure bonded" liquor. Hundreds of
samples are brought to Kovachy each
month for analysis, he said, and all
thus far analyzed have contained u
high percentage of fusel oil in the
raw. In large quantities, consumed by
steady drinking, fusel oil changes tlv;
blood from oxyhemi-globin to methemig
lohin he insists.
In other words, Kovachy says, fusel
oil removes the oxygen from the blood,
causes the lips and body to turn blue
and has the same effect as asphyxia
tion. ;
"Illicit ptddTers of whisky use ethly
lacetate for- flavoring purposes in some
cas-es, and ifhis is very injurious if tak
en in any quantity, acting as a heart
dtpressent," the chemist declared.
M. E. Curtis, proprietor of the
Chemical Laboratories, advises the
present day drinker to "analyze well
before using." Traces of adulteration
that clip year after year from a life
have been found in almost every bottle
of alleged "bonded" liquor he nas
analyzed, he asserted.
"It is true a portion of the contents
of most bottles is pure bonded whisky.
That gives it the color, flavor and
taste," Curtis added. "But the good
liquor is mixed with ingredients tjat
are harmful to the human system and
the question uppermost in the minds
ot those who come to me for analysis
o2 their liquor is how to remove the
ingredients and leave the bonded stuff."
That "bonded" whisky is being gross
ly misrepresented by bootleggers was
revealed recently when a raid of a
printing shop in the downtown section
by federal and police officials uncovered
a plant which is said to have been
devoted exclusively to the manufacture
of counterfeit labels and bottled-in-bond
revenue stamps.
The labels were similar to those
used by prominent distillers on popular
brands of intoxicating liquors previous
to the becoming effective of the eigh
teenth amendment.
Ten thousand alleged counterfeit
revenue stamps were confiscated. Fed
eral secret service operatives declare
. that statements made by some of the
six prsons arrested in connection with
the raid indicate that $50 000 had been
"cleared" during the past year through
sales of the labels to bootleggers in
Kansas City, -New York, Chicago, De
troit and other cities.

sown separately. At the end of Sep
tember the grains had developed an
average of 12 shoots each. These were
cut and transplanted and by the end of
October each cutting furnished an
average of eight shoots, which pro
duced 65 ears each, and each ea.r
gave an average of 50 grains.
A simple multiplication sum shows
that each of the original grains planted
reproduced itself 12 by 8 by 65 by 50.
making a total of 322,000 grains.
