THEY GROW.
Good Humor and CheerfuIness from
 Right Food.

Cheerfulness is like sunlight. It dis pels the clouds from the mind as sun light chases away the shadows of night.
 The good humored man can pick up and carry off load that the man with a grouch wouldn't attempt to lift.
 Anything that interferes with good health is apt to keep cheerfulness and good humor in the background. A Washington lady found that letting coffee alone made things bright for her She writes:
 -Four years ago I was practically expected to live long. My nervous system was in a bad condition.
 But I was young end did not want to die so began to look about for the cause of my chronic trouble. I used to have nervous spells which would exhaust me and after each spell it would take me days before l could sit up in chair.
 q became convinced my trouble was caused by coffee. I decided to stop it and bought some Postum.
 .'The first cup, which I made ac. cording to directions, had soothing effect on my nerves and I liked the taste For time I nearly lived on Postum and ate little food besides. l am today healthy woman.
 My family and relatives wonder if I am the same person l was four years ago, when could do no work on account of nervousness. Now am do. ing my own housework, take care of two babies-one twenty, the other two months old. I am so busy that hard ly get time to write a letter, yet 1 do it all with the cheerfulness and good humor that comes from enjoying good health.

Moose Jaw. sask.. Nov. 18th. 1907

Moose Jaw, Sask., Nov 18th, 1907.
 Writing from Moose Jaw, Saskatche. wan, MT. s. K. Rathwall says:
 T have much pleasure in saying that on my farm this year I had 800 acres in wheat, and 120 acres in oats. My wheat averaged about P bushels per acre, and 1 had 200 acres cut be- fore the frost, which I sold at 85 cents per bushel, thus realizing on that wheat $500 per acre, not count ing cost of twine, seed and labor. With regard to the other 300 acres of wheat, it got touched with frost but is worth 50 cents per bushel. It will net me $13.00 per acre, but l do not intend to sell it at that price, as I can make more money by feeding it to hogs.
 My oats turned out about 50 bushels to the acre, and at 35 cents per bushel will give me $17.00 to the acre, not counting seed, twine and labor.
 "On account of the late spring, a percentage of the grain was touched with frost, but on account of good prices, farmers will realize a fair profit on their farms even this year. We are as usual up against a short. age of cars to get our grain removed"

s3,ooo, 900 Compress Merger.
SVAP

Ho,UUU,UOO OOHlJ CSS mGTNCTs
 A New Orleans company, which controls the Luce system of compress ing cotton, and a Little Rock concern which controls another system, will he merged into $3,O00,000 corpora lion with headquarters in New Orleans and then campaign will be started to introduce the system into every cotton gin in the south. The two each had some advantage over the other; and, by combining, it is claim ed the best of the two will be in cluded in one device. The new system will permit of 100 bales of cotton be- ing placed on one car, and this means enormous saving in local and ocean freights. It is claimed that this pro cess will solve the question which seemed to be uppermost in the minds of the English spinners on their re- cent visit to the souh-that of i'm proper packing of the cotton. w. G. Wilmot. of New Orleans, is now in Chicago perfecting details of the new
 
 corporation.
 The Little Rock Company is the Thomas Gin Compress Company. Dr. A. D. Thomas, who lives at HIS Cum berland street, Little Rock, is the in. ventor of 9 machine to compress the bales at the gin. Some time ago the Luce company in New Orleans was sued by the Little Rock company for alleged infringements of the Thomas patents.
 Recently oyertures were made look ing toward the consolidation of the two companies, and the details of the consolidation have been arranged, so it is stated by Dr. A. D. Thomas. The new company will be known as the Southern Gin Compress Company.
 The consolidation oI the two inter- ests will not affect Little Rock It means simply that the new company will use the patents of the Little Rock company. The Thomas Gin Compress Company will not be moved from Little Rock. Dr. Thomas con- irmed the statement in the New Or leans special to the effect that a cam paign to place the compress in com mon use throughout the south will be commenced at once.
