His Biggest Interest.

A man in another State was once
asked which of his several invest
ments paid him the highest rate OF
interest, and he promptly replied
that it was the dollar he paid on his
subscription to the local paper.
Zone day wanted to buy a cow, "
he said, and was intending to make
a trip of about fifteen miles to get
one that I knew was for sale at a
certain price. But just before start
ing l happened to pick up the local
paper and noticed that nearby
neighbor was offering one of the
same breed at a dollar less than the
other one. He really sold it to me
for 81 less. l saved a long thirty
mile drive and 81 in cash because |
had paid a dollar for the paper.
That was just one instance, but
as a matter of fact | saved both
time and money in many different
ways during the year, and all
through reading the ads in a paper
that had cost me but a dollar q year.
l consider that dollar the best in
vestment | ever made, and / am in
vesting as regularly as the year
rolls round, and always with most
satisfactory results" d"

Business Enough for One Day.

The present generation is scarcely
aware that at one time our one-dol-
lar and two-dollar bills were marked
with Roman instead of Arabic num-
erals. Therefore when the youth left
in charge of the general store in a
small country town was approached
by a stranger and asked for change
for an eleven-dollar bill, he looked
curiously at the greenback but ac-
ceded courteously to the request.
The owner of the store sauntered in
some time later.
well, Sam, any business?"
"Nothin' 'cept changin' a 'leven-
dollar bill fer drummer" the boy
answered unconcernedly.
The storekeeper started for the
cash drawer, looked long and sorrow
fully at the old two-dollar bill, then
said sadly:
Put up the shutters, Sam. We've
done business enough for one day."

Loafing by Boys.

We wonder why it is so many young
men can be seen loafng upon our
streets until late hour of night.
Many of them are from our best
families. The fathers of these young
men, many of them at least. are
numbered among our best citizens.
If their COW or their horse or even
their private dog was away from
home after dark they wouldSbe out
on a search, but their own children
can roam the town all night with
apparently no effort being made 20
find them. The boy seems to be
turned loose at a tender age to wan
der at will into the path of sin and
vice. and then we wonder where all
our tramps and worthless specimens
of humanity come from. 1t is re-
prettable fact that too many OF them
come from seed germinated in good
homes and then sown in careless
manner upon our streets and back
alleys. Is your boy wasting his life
on our streets? If so, had you not,
at least, better look after him as
carefully at nightfall as you would
your horse or cow. We do not in
innate that this evil exists to great
er extent in this community than in
our sister towns, but the evil seems
universal and increases in migni-
tude as the years roll by.-Ma1m'''g

UGH CALOMEL MAKES
YOU DEATHLY SICK.
Stop Using Dangerous Drug Be-
fore II Salivates YOul
IT'S Horrible!

It's Horrible!
You're bilious, sluggish, consti-
pated and believe you need vile,
dangerous calomel to start your
liver and clean your bowels.
Here's my guarantee! Ask your
druggist for a 80 cent bottle of Dod-
sons Liver Tone and take a spoon
full tonight. If it doesn't start your
liver and straighten you right up
better than calomel and without
gripping or making you sick l want
you to 60 back to the store and get
your money.
Take calomel today and tomorrow
you will feel weak and sick and
nauseated. Don't lose a days work.
Take a spoonful of harmless, veget-
able Dodson's Liver Tone tonight
and wake up feeling great. It's
perfectly harmless, so give it to
your children any time. 1t can't
salivate, so let them eat anything
afterwards.

Consider the Kn0cker.

One of our exchanges said recent
ly: Newspaper men have a hard
time. If we say nice things in our
paper we seldom hear from them,
but if we make a mistake, or if
some one fails to see what they
think we ought to see, the paper is
criticised"
That's too sadly true. It's an old
saying that the doctor buries his
mistakes, but the newspaper man
can't hide his" Did it ever occur
to you, how few mistakes creep into
the newspapers, ,and when one doesit
is so glaring that it is magnified in
it's Importance. This is not defense
of errors, for there should be none,
but it is to point out that others err
as grievously as the newspapers.
Newspaper workers are proud
race of people. They love their
work. They are jealous of its good
repute. And whenever you hear a
sore head or failure, or a cheap job
hunter knocking newspapers, don't
believe what he says. He might be
the biggest and meanest prevari-
Gator in creation. The best way is
to read the newspaper and see for
yourself what it is. The man who
can't use newspapers for his selfish
ends abuses them. Columbia Record.

Passing Shots.

Keep your eye on this town-get
close to it-stay by it-and in time
you will recognize a good thing
when you see it.
Are you doing as much for your
home town as the town is doing for
you? Think it over, and perhaps in
time you may be able to answer
"yes."
A mud hole in the street is seen
by everybody, is in the way of every
body, is cussed by everybody. and
yet nobody seems to want to re-
move it.
Never tell man with red blood
in his veins not to get angry. He is
liable to construe your advice as an
indication that you have no red
blood of your own.
The twentieth century has pro-
duced at least one brainy man be-
sides ourself. He suggests that
thrifty housewives dry out their old
coffee grounds and keep them for
the use of borrowing neighbors.
We sweat blood for few minutes
the other day when ma.ron with a
marriageable daughter asked our
opinion as to who is the most beauti-
full young lady in town. We arose
to the occasion and came out with
flying colors, but We are not putting
any one wise as to the hole in the di.
lemma. Do your own sweating.

Send us the news.

How true it is that comfort may
be extracted from even the most
distressing circumstances. Nothing
can exceed the discomforts and hor-
rors of war, yet the present tragedy
in Europe is teaching millions of
people to economize who never would
have done it but for the adversities
now upon them. In most cases the
lesson thus gained will continue to
be carried out for all time after the
war is over. In this land there are
thousands of families that would be
better off every way if more econo-
my were practiced, and it should be
done voluntarily, and not through
the compulsion of war.

BRIGHT BUSINESS OUTLOOK.
Beneficial Effect Of Less Fertil-
izer and Reduced Acreage.


Washington, August 15:-A state
ment issued tonight by the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States
after careful investigation by its
committee on statistics and stand
ards takes an optimistic view of the
business outlook in general and an
nounces that the former feeling of
apprehension of something is going
to happen, because of the European
war has almost entirely disappeared.
The statement has the following
to say regarding the cotton situation
in the Southern States:
THE reduction in the cotton acre
age as compared with last year Is
approximately 16 per cent and COM
bined with this is about 40 per cent
decrease in the use of fertilizers, be-
cause being confnedlargely to South
Atlantic States. A tentative long dis
tance forecast on so uncertain mat
ter as the total yield of cotton indi-
Gates a production this year OF about
100000 bales, Exclusive OF linters,
which possibly will run up to 6Oo'ooo
more bales. As whole the crop has
done we'll and is in generally good
condition, although needing rain IN
central and southern Texas. Owing
to the wet season in some sections,
there are number of complaints OF
boil weevil, though it is not possible
vet even to approximate the damage
done. Even with lower priced cotton,
however, the situation in the South
will be radically different from last
year. Enforced economies have ev-
erywhere prevailed in the agricul-
tural sections. Old material and I'M
plements are being used in cultlvat-
ing and the cotton crop this year
will be the cheapest raised in the
war of production in many years.
Consequently the South will be in a
much better condition to stand low
priced cotton this year than last.
