About 89 per cent of a child's school work depends on vision. The child who cannot see properly has trouble reading and may fall behind his cl«ss. Then he may become a behavior problelfi. Every child wants to excel in something. If he cannot compete in school work he may turn to anti-social activities. He may lie, or cheat, or steal to draw attention to himself. Juvenile courts in Toledo, Ohio, and Denver, Colo., to mention bul two have found thai visual problems are abnormally high among juvenile delinquents. Seeing well and comfortably is important tc normal living,, and the child who has difficulty is likely to show il in. his personality development. Need rubber stampsl Order at The Plaindealer.

Value of 8ilage /• Silage for winter use, cut, cdmpressed and preserved by its own fermentation in an airtight chamber, is essential for profit-making dairy and stock farms. Practically every kind of livestock thrives when fed palatable and nourishing silage. And the farmer who feeds! silage to his dairy herd, beef cat-i tie or sheep gets the full value out of his forage crops--the 40 per cent1 in the stalks and. leaves as well as j the 60 per cent in the ears and! grain. When stalks and leaves are| left in the field, they are largely j wasted. In a silo they are preserved with a minimum of waste. Feeding! silage also enables the farmer to' boost milk and meat production, j •realize savings }n feed storage) costs and labor, and maintain' larger herds of livestock.
