in when 1 went to Prof. Larson
seven weeks ago. I noticed some
Improvement during the early
stages of my course of treatments,
but the marked change for the bet
ter came all at once about three
weeks ago. To me it has been q
wonderful demonstration OF Prof.
Larson'g power, to take me In that
shape and straighten me out 30
quickly. I think now my stomach
trouble and constipation are cured
and I am only too glad OF the op-
portunity to speak a, word in praise
of this great healer. 1t isn't often
that we have a healer of Prof.
Larson's power and ability to
whom we can go and j am glad
that L placed myself under his
care"
Mr.. Cowdrey's statement that he
is feeling fine" is borne out by his
looks, for If a man ever looked to
enjoying perfect health he is that
man. The story also shows that
Prof. Larson is sustaining in To-
peka the reputation for cures that
his patients elsewhere have given
him.

While in Blythcdale last Saturday we
had the pleaure of meeting Mr.. Brown,
the gentleman from Bowling Green,
Ohio, who is leasing land near Blythe
dale with the intention of prospecting
for oil. Mr.. Brown owns valuable oil
property in Ohio and Pennsylvania and
has unlimited experience in the bust
ness. He will commence prospecting as
from Ohio. AS soon as some drillers,
who are now at Bradner, Ohio, can com
plete their contract there they will
come to Blythedale. AS soon as they
come Mr.. Brown will push the work day
and night until he finds oil or is salts
fled that it is not there. OF course he
considers the prospects very fattering
for if he did not he certainly would not
go to the expense of prospecting. We
do not see how he can do the work he
expects to do without an outlay of less
than $4,000 or 1000. All he asks of the
people is that they allow him to lease
the land for Oil and mineral purposes.
Many people believe there is paying oil
gas fields in this section, but up to the
present time no prospecting of much
Importance has been done. In fact the
deepest hole yet drilled in Harrison
county is less than 900 feet deep. Mr..
Brown expects to go down 5000 feet.
His efforts will be watched with inter-
est, for should he develope paying oil or
mineral it will be one of the greatest
things this section has ever experienced.
1t is sincerely hoped by all that Mr..
Brown will be successful in his pros
pecting.- Journal.

GOOD ADVICE
TO FARMERS.
Stay on the Farm and Don't Rush to
the Cities.

True it is that one must learn to
let we'll enough alone. The grand
result we are all striving for is often
acquired by iudicious letting alone.
1t is part of wisdom to know Just
when wcll-doing means letting well
enough alone to take up something
else, and when it means letting that
something else go altogether.
| One Of the most disquicting fca-
lures of the social condition of our
farmers is occasioncd by not letting
well enough alone, but rushing to
the cities to engage in new lines Of
work. 1t is an alarming condition,
as the stability and national charac-
ter comes from our strong foothold
on the soil.
Every city is full of human fail
urcs, results of misdircctcd efforts
of men who should remain on the
farms. An investigation Of the
cities will prove this to be true.
Many Of these people who rush to
the cities are doing nothing which
is effective to themselves or for
others. They are misfits in city
life and should go back to the
farms. For specialists, for those
who can do one thing better than
any one else, the city will furnish
employment. But the majority Of
farmers who are rushing to the
cities are not specialists; thoy do
not know how to do anything we'll,
that is, anything that the people Of
the cities want. Organized capital
is not the only obstacle in the way
OF the workingman, but We find in
efficiency also bar to his success.
The man is wanted who can givo
intelligent and loyal service. Com
petition in cities is severe, and few
can find employment at good wages
There is no room for the man whose
labor does not show brain and heart.
Do not leave the farm for the
city unless you know there is a
place waiting for you, which you
can fill. Rewards for labor on tho
farm may not be brilliant, but fail
ure will not be ruinous. The labor
question will be settled when each
man learns to use his power to the
best advantage. However, no one
succeeds in city or country unless
he does his work well. Resolve to
do something useful and honorable
and do it with a good will. Repel
the thought that you can live with
out labor. The most pitiable object
in life is the person who is content
to do nothing, and is, therefore,
nothing. What miserable career
it is to be a dronc, with no purpose
in life, with no helping hand to
give and no effort to put forth to
right the wrong. Make up your
mind to some line of action-inde-
cision squanders much time. 1t il
| not often people succeed by chance;
the wheels of fortune are often
turned by luck; it requires conf
dcnce in our ability and hard work
to accomplish anything. Some
people remain useless through life
because they cannot make up their
minds to do one certain thing and
stick to it. One must have a def
mite object in view, and work, dare
and sacrifice in order to gain oven a
FREELY glow.

COTTON'S CALL TO BATTLE.
Southern Cotton Growers To Or
ganize-President Jordan's Call
for an Interstate ConVen-
ton to be Held in New
Orleans on January
24-26, 1905.

Macon, Ga, December 27th.-A
special to the Telegraph from Mon
ticello, Ga, says that President
Harvie Jordan, of the Southern
Cotton Growers Protective Associa-
tion, has issued call for an Inter
State Convention, to be held at New
Orleans, January 24-26, 1905.
Among the matters for consideration
to be acted upon are the following,
according to the call:
Financing the entire spot cotton
business of the South, creating n
bureau of statistics for the benefit of
the producers; the establishment of
a Cotton Exchange in each State,
through which our cotton can be
sold direct to the manufacturers;
organization quickly of all the cotton
producers in each cotton growing
county; reduction of cotton acreage
and use OF commercial fertilizers for
1905, of not less than 25 per cent !;
adoption of q local ware house sys-
tenn to meet the practical demand OF
both farmers and bankers through
out the South; to make New Orleans
the leading Cotton Exchange in the
United States; the formation of a
close alliance between all the South
ern agricultural organizations now
in existence for mutual cooperation
and protection. These are among
the leading matters for considcra
ton. They are momentous anC
some of them involve tremendous
propositions. But none are incapa
bic of quick solution and practica
realization. The South possesses tn,
brains, the manhood and the none,
to solve any great question whicl
threatens her future prosperity"
