There is one medicine which
every family should be provided
with. We refer to ChaM5erlain' :
Pain Balm. When it is kept at
hand the severe pain of a burn or
scald may be promptly relieved and
the sore healed in much less time
than when medicine has to be sent
for. a sprain may be promptly
treated before Inflammation sets in,
which ;nsures a cure in about one
third the time otherwise required.
Cuts and bruises should receive i'm
mediate attention, before the parts
become s,v;:lien, and when Cham
beiiain's Pain Balm is applied it
will real them without matter b=iDg
formed, and without leaving 4 scar.
A sore throat may be cured in one
night. A piece of flannel dam
pened with this iiniment and bound.
over tne seat of pain, will cure
lame back or pain in che side or
chest in tweniy-four hours. 1t is
the most valuable, however,, for
rheumatism. Persons afflicted with
this disease will be delighted with
the prompt relief from pain which
it sffurds, and it can be depe ndcd
upon to effect a complete cure.

| Mr.. Hector d. Lane, presiden,
of the American Cotton Growers
Association, has, SD far, proven
himself to be sagscious and wise
leader He has already given evil
dence Of a thorough knowledge OF
the causes ct the fluctuations of the
cotton market. He is always con-
servat!ve and his estimates can not
fail to command the respect of both
! the cotton farmer and the buyer.
Mr.. Lane has recently issued an
address to the farmers that cotton
will go good deal higher than it is
at present, and that they must not
sell their crops at the actual figures,
81 and 81, but he advises them
to wait until key are offered 1914
per pound. After considering the
size of the crop and the demands
for the staple. Mr.. Lane has come
to the conclusion chat f the farmers
insist upon their rights the price
will inevitably go up to those
figures. 1t is principally upon the
fact that the demand for cot
ton this year will be unusually
great that ne bases his opinion.
Mr.. Lane also believes that the size
of the crop will be much smaller
than generally expected. This
shortage will 81, ely result in an in
crease Of the price.
Mr.. Lane speaks in way that
inspires confidence. He appears to
be convinced that the aeecy staple
will doubtless be very much in de-
mand and that farmers will realize
no less titan 1oE cents per pound
for it. TIE question is how long
will trey lave TO wait, and how
many arc In position to wait
In this parish, for instance. few of
the cotton growers are heavily i'll
debteel, but they are indeed scarce
those w,o arc able to live much
longer without selling cir crops,
and it is not probable that our
farmers are not as we'll off as their
brothers Of other sections. On the
contrary, we believe they are far
more prosperous. Nevertheless, it
is devoutly to be wished that the
sorely tried cotton farmer will be in
4 position IT, follow tn advice of
Mr. Lane and await the expected
rise in the price OF cotaon.
