ABOLISH EMPRESS COMPANIES.

The Texas Corporation Commission
is making earnest fight against the ex-
press companies doing business in that
State. The contention is that the ex-
press companies are taxing the people
who have small parcels TO send or re.
ceive, unnecessarily, and that the
railroad companies must be made to
do the express business, which can be
done at a saving Of just one half to the
people. There is practical work for

Owl Brand For
PLANTS.

If you have watched the tobacco
sales this season you have noticed
that when good tobacco is offered
1t brings a good price. 1t is the
medium grades that are cheap.
The reason for this is plain-the
market is flooded with medium
grade tobacco. 1t is evident that if
we are going to make any money
IN this section we must plant
smaller crop, fertilize it heavily
and make ii better. 1t does NOT
cost any more 10 work an acre of
poor tobacco than an acre Of good.
The first step is to have good plants.
and to have them in time. The
OWL BRAND SPECIAL seems
10 come nearer a perfect food for
plants than any other. This is no
fairy tale.n Scores of farmers
who Ouy other fertilizers for the
crop want Owl Brand for their
plants, knowing it is the best
thing on the market for that pur-
pose.
We have just received a car load
OF 100 10. bags, put up specially for
plants, and will be pleased to have
your orders for 1t.
