planter can hold back the crop of this
year.-Sherman Democrat
1t is apparent that the farmers are
holding their cotton this year with
more tenacity than ever before. Sew.
eral reasons can be advanced for this.
Inc first and main one is that diyersi-
hcatlon of crops has enabled them to
Keep out Of debt to a great extent, and
creditors therefore can not make them
sell. Then again, the Farmers Union
mas done a great deal in the direction
or teaching the farmers the wisdom
OF holding back their crops. The I'm.
ion is the best farmers organization
that has ever been created in Texas.
1t has learned many things from the
other organizations Of farmers which
preceded it, and is thus enabled to
do better and more effective work.
Under its teachings the farmers are
learning how to protect their crops

German princes have had a more TO

his wife as his assistant, his fiye-thou-

Poor people flock to his hospital,

TO ADVANCE COTTON SELLING.

In the report of the committee on
the growing and handling of cotton
laid before the International confer.
ence of cotton growers and manufact.
urerS, the recommendation were as
follows:
l. That all planters select and save
their seeds for the next crop, the OBJ
ject being to insure a higher standard.
2. That all cotton be housed 40 to
60 days before being sent to the gin.
3. That, as fast as possible, plant
ers adopt gin COMPRISING as it would
relieve planters in great part of the
exactions of the so,called compress
trust and permit of direct handling of
product from planter to spinner.
4. That the Egyptian form of bale
be adopted as fast as possible.

Some people call Peruua a grea

Which Of these people are right
Is II more proper to call Peruna a ca
tarrh remedy than to call it a tonic?
Our reply is, that Peruna is both g
tonic and catarrh remedy. Indeed
there can be no efectual catarrh rem.
sdy that is not also tonic.
In order to thoroughly relieve any
case OF catarrh, a remedy must not
only have specific action on the mu.
sous membranes affected By the ca.
tarrh, but it must have general tonic
action on the nervous system.

otherwise strong, is a weakened con.

The bears are having a lot of fun

not benefited by the bears exploits,
but they are benefited by anything
that benefits the farmers, and so there
is all sorts of money with which to
hold all the cotton that anybody wants
to hold. There will be a time when
the mills want the cotton, and it is a
