That each kept a birthday, and Patrick

Until good Father Mulcahy, who show

Said no one could have two birthdays

SUGGESTIONS TO FARMERS.

Editor Commonwealth, Greenwood
diss,-Realizing that the interests Of
he newspapers and the railroads il
Southern development are identical, J
axe the liberty of asking you to give
pace to some brief suggestions to farm
RS in the territory into which the Mex
ian Cotton Boil Weevil has spread.
The successful production of cottor
nder boil weevil conditions requires:
Thorough preparation of the seed
ed. Ut should have been deeply
broken in the Fall or early Winter anC
Il vegetation turned UNDER.
The selection of good seed of ar
arly maturing variety.
Planting as soon as the soil is warn
enough to insure a good stand.
Frequent and shallow cultivation un
il the hollis begin to open.
Gathering and burning every wecvi.
hat can be found.
AS soon as squares begin to form
gathering and burning all fallen squares
nd all squares which show signs Of
avirg eggs in them by faring and
urning yellow.
On account of the rapidity with
'hirh the wcevil multiplies and the
argc number of generations in a sea.
on, gathering the weevils and the pune.
urcd squares should never be delayed.
t should be commenced as soon as the
rst weevils m out in the Spring and
hOuld be continued until the crop has
,cen made.
Owing TO the additional work that
|nust be done if cotton is to be grown
n spite of the weevil, the acreage that
nm be successfully handled by a given
of men and teams is smaller
han where. the weevil is not present.
it is strongly recommended, therefore.
hat each farmer shall not plant more
otton than he feels sure that he can
andle properly, The land released from
otton should be used for other crops
ind for live stock.
Every farmer, especially in boil
vcevil territory. should e~ndeavor, as
ar as possible, to produce everything
onsumed on the farm. He should grow
ell Of the feed for his live stock and
hould grow at least enough fruits and
e%getables for home use. His condition
will be very much improved if he can
a surplus Of some other crop be.
ide cotton for sale.
The raising Of more live stock in all
parts of the South is of great impor.
ance. 1t is especially important in
bill weevil territory, not only for the
of direct profits, but also on &C.
cunt of the value Of manure in improv.
ng the soil. Every Southern farmer
HVulu piouuCt MS own meat, dalry
products, and poultry, and, taking into
ccount the value of the manure and the
Increasing demand for meat products
f all kinds, Southern farmers will find
t profitable to raise live stock BY
reeding to the best pure'bred males

INDIGESTION OVERCOME
Overcome by Simple Remedy

Overcome by Simple Remedy.
 Hurried and careless habits Of eat ing, irregular meals and foods that do not harmonize, tend to weaken the digestive organs and result in different forms of stomach trouble.
 If you are one of the unfortunates who have drifted into this condition, eat simple foods only. slowly, regu- larly and take Vinol, our delicious cod liver and iron tonic.
 Mrs Fl. J. Smith, Thomasville, Ga., says: q suffered from a stomach trouble, was tired, worn out and ner- vous. A friend advised me to take Vinol. My stomach trouble soon dis appeared and now I eat heartily and have a perfect digestion and I wish every tired. weak woman could have Vinol. for I never spent any money in my life that did me so much good |"
 The recovery of Mrs. Smith was due to the combined action of the medicinal elements of the cods' flyers --aided by the blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron, which are contained fin Vinol. We will return the purchase money every time Vinol fails to benefit.

WITH THE STAGE AND THE PICTURE PLAYERS
AT THE PRINCESS

{ One of the best and most novel musical acts that has appeared at | the Princess during the present sea. son is The Chalahoo Gautemalans, quintet of musical lads from the Cen tral American republic, who offer one of the finest numbers of it's kind ever heard here. These boys play mammoth marimbaLl1one, a musical | instrument that is peculiar to the Iatin-American countries, and on which they get some of the sweetest music and the greatest range of musical tones. The instrument is capable of creating the tones of al- most any known instrument. and these five Gautamalan boys have per fected themselves Go such a degree that it is impossible to describe the music they offer They play both American and native airs, as we'll as the Indian music of their country, and also give a demonstration of the native Indian dances of Central America Without exception this is one of the best musical acts of the season.
 Max Weiley and Miss Melissa Ten Eyck. in their latest vaudeville sen sation, "The Gambol of the Gods" in troduce some artistic posing and present the coming to life of Pigmel- yon, in which the sculptor dreams that his statue has come to life, Here the couple introduce an acrobatic dance that is nothing short of mar vel They perform all the feats that other like dancers have offered and go away beyond the usual repertoire. It is decidedly pretty act and al- ways makes big hit.
 Marshall Montgomery, the ventrilo- qust. seems to have commenced where others have left off. In the ventriloquial voice he sings a song while eating a lunch and drinking wine, afterwards smoking cigarette while keeping Up the running fire Of quips and songs. The climax of his offering is the whistling solo of the dummy" and his closing feat of whistling with a silk handkerchief stuffed in his mouth Montgomery is the greatest ventriloquist Hot Springs has ever seen and heard.
 The Creighton Girls, three of them, offer a clever number in their sing | ing, dancing and piano number, some of their dancing numbers being of an especially high order They never fail to inspire an encore and their repertoire is sufficiently varied to permit them to respond to them all.
