The fond mother dreams great dreams
of baby's future as she holds the sleeping
little one in her arms. But b dreams
will never come true unless she has
given him a strong body and a healthy
mind. Children die in hosts, or live to
struggle through life feeble of body and
dull of mind because the mother was
unfit physically and mentally for moth
erhood. Women who use DIR. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription endow their chill
dren with strong bodies and bright minds.
It is every mothers duty to give her
child the advantages of a healthy body
and mind. A weak or sick1y woman
cannot do this. "Favorite Prescription"
makes weak women strong and sick
women we'll.
Mrs. Orrin Stiles, of Downing, Dunn Co., Wis.
writes: III have been intending to write to you
ever since my baby was born in regard to what
your 'Favorite Prescription has done for me. I
cannot praise it enough, for I have not been as
well Tor five years as I now am. In July last I had
a baby boy, weight II pounds, and was only sick
a short time, and since I got up have not had
one sick day. have not had any womb trouble
since I got up. I was not only surprised myself
but all of my friends here are surprised to see

THEIR INTERESTS IDENTICAL.

Farmers, Glnners and the American Cot
ton CO.. Share Roundup Savings.
Certain Southern papers r pub
l1shing articles designed to pre-
JUDGE against the ronndlap bale
those who do not know their origin
or purpose. They r paid for by
the square bale compress associa-
tons, whose interest is, not that the
farmers cotton shall be baled in the
way that will bring him the most
money, but that it shall be put up in
bales that will have to be COM
pressed. The people of the South
are not to be caught with such chaf.
The favor with which the roundlap
bale is received wherever it has
been introduced is due to it's merit
alone, and to the fact that the pro-
Queer receives more money for his
cotton in this form than in any
other package. He will continue to
use the roundlap bale so long as he
finds Improbable, and no longer.
The interests of the farmer, the
ginner and the American Cotton
Company are Identical.
The farmer has his cotton put in
roundlap bales because the savings
which accrue in their marketing en-
! able the buyer to pay him a prem
ium sufficient to pay the baling
charge and leave him a substantial
profit besides.
Much as congressman would like
to have farmers believe otherwise,
the American Cotton Company has
no purpose further than to secure
for itself a fair share of these say
ings. Its interest lies in enabling
the presses which it builds to bale
as much of the Southern cotton crop
as possible. In order to insure this
result it is essential that cotton
] growers find profit in the use OF
these presses, Dr. they would moi
~patronize them. To this end, ane
in order that the full savings O
which roundlap bales are capable
might be realized, the America
Cotton Company became a buye,
of roundlap bales, paying for then
a premium above the market valu,
of square bales. Thus the renta
which the company charges for tn
. use of it's presses by ginners wh'
prefer the lease to purchase, is palt
by neither the farmer nor the gin
ner, but by the cotton buye
whether the American Cotton Com
pany or some other) and it is pais
, out of the savings.
Beyond insuring that cotton i
roundlap bales shall in all cases Sc.
for the premium to which it is Ell
Titled and which is paid for it at til
Mills, the company does not go. Il
cotton agreement does not requil
that a single bale of cotton be sol

Says dispatch from Columbus, Ga,'
Col. II. Bussey, one OF the best-ln
formed men in the south on crop con
ci,ions, says it is practically certain
that large crop of cotton would mol
be made this year.
Even in this section OF Georgia
and Alabama" said Col. Bussey, "the
rains are beginning to make the stu
alton somewhat serious. A large part
of the cotton was freshly planted
when the rains set in, so that the lands
were asily washed. This is especially
true of the hillsides, while in the bot
toms so much moisture rots the seed.
Ii is very evident that stands from the
first planting will be poor, as a rule,
and great deal of replanting will be
necessary. The problem now confront
ing the farmers is where to get the
seed in this section. If the rains con-
tinue much longer, the situation viii
become more serious. The scarcity oil
seed is general throughout the cot
ton belt, and it is very sure that mucn
Of the lands overflowed will not he
planted in cotton on this account, even
f the farmers had the time to prepare
heir lands before the season for plant
ng is over. Even if the rains should
ease now, it would be several weeks
,e1ore the bottom lands would be dry
nough to be plowed up and prepared

A man may refrain from robbing hen
roosts, and pay the grocer and baker,
and even the printer, as matter of
policy, and still be dishonest cuss. To
be honest, he must think, act and talk
like a man who has high conception
of duty toward his fellowmen, and must
not try to palm himself off for what he
is not. When Robert Burns observed
that "an honest mans the noblest work
of Cod" he did not refer to the fellow
who was honest because he believed in
the old saw that "honesty is the best
policy" but to the man who had just
comprehension of his duties toward his
fellows, and who would not "wantonly
set his foot upon a worm. ."-Punx'y
