twenty-five bidders.

were not considered.

and no traitors are to be allowed in
the camp. If the plan is adopted
success is bound to attend it. Fail
ure could not possibly come. A GER
tain amount of tobacco must be had
and had at any price. Farmers
could demand that price and tile
manufacturers would be forced to
give it. The plan furnishes great
opportunity to farmers. Their farms
could be rested and improved for
one year, their attention turned to
grass, grain and stock raising and
their bodies rested from the slavish,
wearing strain that tobacco crop
always occasions. The question is:
"Will the farmers do it?" If sew
enty-hve per cent. of them say they
will, and stick to it, 1.-THE world
and the fullness thereof is theirs.
1t costs them nothing to try. The
plan is feasible. 1t is practicable,
inexpensive and certain. Cotton
growers in the South have tried it
and it proves a success. Why not

loss of appetite, lack of energy, insomnia,
frequent headaches and morbid tendencies,

and restore the nerves to their normal activity.
