EVERYTHING Bad.

A prominent planter recently had
occasion to visit some of his holdings
In southern Arkansas. The land was
situated several miles from a railroad,
and 1t was necessary to finish the
journey in buggy. So he took a
friend with him and started out.
After traversing several miles of
sparsely settled country, they came
upon farmer blowing corn on the
side of hill. The planter, wishing
to appear civil to his neighbors,
stopped his horse and yelled at the
man, who came to the fence, hopping
his face with red bandana.
Good morning"
"Mornin', mister!"
"You live here. I suppose?"
yep"
Flows crops?"
Fair to middlin'."
That's bad hill you're plowing."
II know 1t. Bad boss, pullin' tn
pillow, bad pillow, bad everything"
why, you talk like you were the
poorest man in Arkansas" laughed the
planter.
Il amt, though" was the response,
as the young fellow smiled good
naturally. Another teller owns half
o. this CROP"

yard measure. 1t is made of 80 parts
of platinum and ten of iridium, which

next ten years 1t will be examined,

the husbands and brothers and their
fortunate assistants were relieved of
all drudgery by labor-saving inven.

struggled on in the old crude, barbar.

TAKE THEM OUT
Or Feed Them Food They Can
Study On.

When a student begins to break
down from lack of the right kind of
food, there are only two things to do;
either take him out of school or feed
him properly on food that will rebuild
the brain and nerve cells. That food
is Grape-Nuts.
A boy writes from jamestown, N. Y,
saying: "a short time ago got into
a bad condition from overstudy, but

l see that nearly every farmer
has his cotton nearly all picked
out, and it is now going into the
hands of the gamblers, which is
bringing the price down, and they
are getting the money that the
farmer ought to have.
There are a great many of the
farmers in this section that have
dug their sweet potatoes and are
banking them for spring use.
Some of the farmers are gather
ing corn and making preparations
to sow wheat. Every farmer ought
to SOW enough wheat to make
enough to do him, and plant corn
enough to do him, and then he
could hold his cotton until he
could get the worth of it; but un-
til then, he will have to raise his
cotton and take whatever he can
get for 1t. and be left in debt after
it is all sold. Plenty Of corn IN
the crib, plenty of wheat in the
box, plenty of meat in the smoke
house, brings prosperity to the
farmer whether he has any cotton
or not. BEUEAH.
