A WARMIN6 TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts Alb gu I
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon the condition
of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases of
serious illness, makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are doing
their work properly, the other organs
cannot readily be brought back to health
and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics, Brights disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is Dr., kilmer's Swamp-Root,
the great Kidney. Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of this
preparation, in most cases, Is soon re-
allied, according to sworn statements
and verified testimony of those who
have used this remedy.
II you feel that your kidneys require
attention, and wish ; sample bottle.
write to DR.. Kilmer 4 Co., Binghamp-
ton, N. Y. Mention this paper, enclose
ten cents and they will gladly forward
1t to you by Parcel Post.
Swanp-R Root is sold by every drug

DlCED.

| reduced. says thu CORN" -cial-Apperl.
1t IS urged thaL il q. tnan thIus ;
five of his ne'sh'ols os" .to'Gg to r.
duce and that l5c~ proportion viii be
kept up all over the belt. TINT the one
man will increase his acreage and the
five other men. each thinking tine 9th
ers will reduce, will increase their
acreage.
This theory will not be true in 1915
as against previous years.
Publicity is more thorough. The
planters Of Texas put in their crops
earlier than the planters Of Arkansas,
Tennessee and Mississippi. If in the
spring the Texas man increases his
acreage we will very quickly learn it.
The trouble in the past has been the
doubt rs to the certainty Of the reduc-
ton. There is no doubt this year as TO
what will be done next year.
Already in many parts of the south
land that was planted in cotton is be-
ing plowed for corn and some Of it has
been planted IN other grain crops.
In order successfully to grow corn
the deep pIowing should be done in the
winter, and there is An extraordinary
amount of this blowing now being
done.
In former years men were asked to
let their cotton land lie idle. 1t were
better to plant every acre in cotton
than to turn the land out.
The cotton reduction this year does
not contemplate letting an acre Of land
60 to waste.
If a man last year plarted 100 acres
of cotton and contemplstes planting rs
acres this year, he also contemplates
putting the other rs acres in corn or
grain.
A fence thrown around almost any
so acres of land in the south, without
any seeding, the incloscd land will af-
ford natural grasses sufficient to sus-
tain 50 head of cattle.
The reduction in acreage in cotton
does not mean reduction in acreage in
cultivation.
The only safe method is to turn the
unused cotton land into corn, grain,
hay or grazing land.
Finally, iftvery small and big farm
er puts q half acre of his land in a gar
den, beginning in the spring and cult
waiting all summer, that man cnn re-
duce his grocery bill one-half. This
will enable him to cut his cotton acre
age materially, because cotton acreage
is prcdicated upon how much food and
clothing a man will buy during the
summer.

FUTURE CLEAR AND BRIGHT.

President Wilson is full of optimism
and hope for the future, which he says
is ''clear and bright with promise of
the best things" He says the future
will be very different from the past,
which we will soon look back upon a.
Il upon q bad dream.
From the presidents viewpoint, the
clouds that have lowered upon our f.
nancial and industrial life have blown
away and the full sun Of prosperity Is
ready to burst upon US in greater ef-
fuIfence than evcr before.
Oar American industries should reap
richer harvests ia years before them
than they ever did under the old order
OF things.
With the readjastments OF our ma
tional affairs and the removal Of per-
plexities and suspicious Of government
tai favoritism, the people in every
avenue Of trade should get down ia
brass tacks and reap the benefits that
are coming to them. There Is some.
thing good in store for every one who
is industrious and enterprising enough
to 90 after II.

OF WHY NOT!

"Will good times ever %return7' in
CURED q pessimist in specializing on his
Christmas expenditures.
OF course they will! Why not!
Here's the why Of tho will:
/. There 10 Just ~ much money in
the country now as there ever was.
2. The farmers have just harvested
one Of the biggest crops in history.
5. Federal reserve hanks have been
opened and millions OF dollars OF new
money will be placed at the disposal Of
the banks of tie country.
1. The banks in turn will have plenty
OF money to loan to big manufacturing
and other industries for operating
capital.
8. These concerns in their turn will
start tho wheels Of commerce to re-
volving and millions Of unemployed men
and women will return to work.
q. Foreign governments arc placing
heavy orders for all kinds Of supplies
needed in prosecuting their war.
7. Other orders for American made
goods are pouring in from all parts Of
the world.
8. The financial situation has clxri-
fed. Congress has adjourned. banks
are opening up their vaults, and great
manufacturing industries are prepar-
ing to open up again o. An extensive
scale, many Of them eve now calling
in employees who were laid off many
weeks ago.
Yes, you can dig down and spend
that Christmas money without any
fear of where the next dollar is coming
from.
1t is on the way and hitting the
high places.

GET READY FOR 1T.

What about your plans for next year.
Mr.. Progressive Farmer! Are they
msde7 Have you a definite, clear-cut
system already outlined and to which
you an to sdhere? Above all, have
you agreed with yourself that next
year POUR cotton acreage will be re
duced and that you will give yourself,
your family, your stock, and your land
a chance by planting literally Of food,
feed and oil-building crops'
We want to make this an urgent,
individual appeal to you. for
We believe it il only as the
individual grower realizes that all cot
ton another year means ruin that we
can hope to achieve any real results IN
acreage reduction. Let's see what the
facts in the case are and then look
them squnrely in the face:
l. Cotton 10 now selling At
seven cents. or from three to three and
one. half cents 4 pound less than the cost
Of production. tits, Of course. always
unsafe TO attempt TO prophecy, but we
are only stating a truth when we say
that TO base our 1915 operations N any
higher price Is to court financial dis
aster.
2. Undoubtedly the coming season
will see the almost entire withdrawal
of the credit usually extended to the
cotton grover. This is merely good
business on the part Of the merchant
and banker. for they will see that
advancing money on a crop for which
there may be no market is too danger
Gus 4 risk to take.
3. Corn. oats, hay, meat, butter
and eggs-in fact. food and feedsthfs
of every kind. because Of the vast
destruction wrought in Europe. will be
In enormous demand and at higher
average prices than for years.
With these facts before US. it is
nothing more than sound business
to plant less cotton another year.
And let US not forget we are not cut
ting the cotton acreage to get q higher
price for cotton. but simply because
we cant afford to grow 1t at present
prices-prices that In all likelihood
will prevail next year.
Let's not expect the other fellow to
do it, for experience has shown that he
cant be depended on. Rather we, you
and /, my friend. must do this thing,
and prepare for it now. Otherwise
the hard times we are nov
experiencing will be doubly, trebly
severe a year from now. For the all
cotton farmer the handwriting is on
the wall, says the Progressive Farmer.

DODGE BROS. CAR MAKES ITS
DEBUT.

When John F. and Horace E. Dodge
in the very zenith of a career of %
years as machinists and manufacturers,
closed out an automobile parts prbduc-
ton enterprise, involving contracts
worth a million and a half dollars o
month, to embark as automobile man
ufacturers, the big public had a perfect
right to sit up and take notice.
Believing that a genuine demand OK
listed for a thoroughly well-huilt, good
appearing car in the popular priced
field, Dodge Brothers felt that they
were peculiarly well fitted to produce
such y car. With an immense institu-
ton and unlimited capital behind them
they were fully confident in starting
out to build a second career upon their
first.
With characteristic energy, orders
were issued for several immense build
ings, 1000 feet and 500 feet long re-
spectively and four stories high, as an
addition to their plant. Avoiding pub
licity as far as possible, a cool, half
million dollars was further expended
in new machinery of the most advanced
type o%btainable.
Wisely, if unusually. they determined
not to court an advance appeal. No
whit Of information would be divulged
until Dodge Brothers idea of a motor
car stood complete in every detail. And
so the work Of designing has gone for
ward, unhindered, until today the car
has been publicly announced and placed
on exhibition.
Something of the immense confidence
reposed in Dodge Brothers, before any
detail as to the car had escaped from
the factory, is shown by the fact that
over 10, 900 dealers wrote in for the
privilege of selling the car. place
the price any place under $1,000 and
ship us all the cars you a spare
wrote one enthusiastic dealer who cap,
tured the sales rights for his city,
From all sections Of the United States,
Canada and ever foreign countries, the
impression seemed to prevail that Ell

company possibly can"

THE QUESTION OF TAXES.

There is something in the make
up Of most OF us that prompts us
10 rebel against the payment OF
taxes; yet, most taxes are an in
yestment. Our state and county
and city taxes give to US a govern
4 ent, protection for life and prop
erty, public roads, bridges, lights,
streets and many blessings, while
leyee and drainage taxes are d.
rect investments that bring good
dividends in increased products
from our farms, increased value
to these lands and increased bust
ness to almost every dealer and
professional man. Of course the
tax payer should secure value
received, should not have the
tax money squandered. But On
the Question of Taxes" the
Natchez News makes the follow
ing pertinent observations:
Recently we saw a picture OF
Everett True. A fellow towns
man was showing him a new hat
that he had paid seven dollars
for" You paid seven dollars for
that hat" exclaimed Everett, and
just yesterday you let out a bel
low because your taxes were a
few dollars more than last year."
Whereupon he proceeded to
smash the hat.
How many times do we see q
similar incident in real lifel When
ever a public Improvement is pro-
posed to help the city and in
crease property values some men
are sure to let out a howl. They
spend $50 worth OF time working
to defeat a bond issue that will
increase their taxes ten dol
lars. Many times we have seen
men vote against increased taxes
Of a few dollars and then stand
up and spend a ten dollar note
over a bar or for some kind of
foolish pleasure"
But the fellow who starts talk
ing about taxes soon becomes un-
popular so we had better keep
