Realizing that great many peo-

their garden seeds, we have made

offer our friends even lower prices
than you can possibly obtain by
ordering yourself. We have all

the following prices for this season:
Three SC papers for Ioc.
Each of these papers contains dou.

and the regular truck farmers say
they are the most reliable on earth.
We will have the choicest seed po-

every home in this bread land. There
are no politics in these words. They
are cold facts, known to US all.
When the homes are properly regu-
lated the tariff, the railroads and the
currency will not need laws to regu-
late them.
When the press and our public ora
tors unite in giving their best thoughts
and attentions to the homes, all our
great national problems will soon
solve themselves.
When the homes are right the en-
tire country will be right The
questions that effect the morals and
purity Of our homes are the real and
vital questions.
Our political speakers appeal only
to partisan feelings and your pocket
book. You never hear them using
their eloquenoe in an honest endeavor
to better our homes which are the
foundation stones upon which rest all
our laws and institutions, both state
and national.
The voters who go ont from moral,
pure homes, will place moral and pure
men in Office. who will give us honest
and pure railroad and tariff regula-
tions. All we need is more moral
and pure homes so as to supply us
with majority of the voters.
Our president takes this view of it,
and it is that which has brought him
so close to the honest thinking people
of all parties. Let us repeat his
words: If the homes are all
straight, the state will take care Of
itself. = It is this thought that in

The fact that Winston Churchill has
been for several years the most popular

his new novel, "Coniston." Primarily a
love story. Mr.. Churcllill's new book de-
rives part of its interest from politics,
but much more from It's superb charAc-
ter-drawng. Those who have read 1t
pronounce it by far the most vigorous,
attractive and engaging novel that Mr..
Churchill has eyer written.
