ONIONS, COTTON AND BOIL Wttvll

Onions are a strong subject, IN

trait of being devoid of any deadly
germs. They are actually toll

DEPENDENCE.

Whenever a man becomes so
self-opinionated that he imagines
that he can paddle his own canoe
and hoe his own row without any
exit aneous help whatever, just
then and there he is making a
woful mistake. Man is a creature
of his surroundings and more or
less dependent on others. no mat
ter what his circumstance in life.
He must make use of the aid,
good opinions and helpful support
of his fellow men, or the circum-
stances which surround and are
necessary for the success and ac-
complishment of his calling what
ever it may be. When he ignores
and disdains these things he not
only stands in his own light but is
building up obstacles that result
in his undoing. Self-help is the
best help in the accomplishment
OF physical tasks. but dependence
on others is the necessary lever
for success in any business or
profession. Do not ignore this
necessary fulcrum in making the
most of golden opportunity.

The plant will be located at Little
Rock. The cotton planters of the
South will watch the development
of this invention with the deepest
