The stalk, bean and pea fields
will soon be open for pasturage,
then you will not need to feed
the cows so much.
If you have an abundent sup
ply Of silage it will pay you to
feed a small quantity daily to
supplement the shortage Of pas
turage at this season.
If you have not a plentiful
supply of silage for feeding this
winter, you should thoroughly
prepare a. rich spot near your
barn and SOW to purple top tur-
nips or rape Tor some of each).
You have time yet to prepare for
either of these crops if you will
get them in Immediately, and
they will reduce your feed bill
considerably and increase the
flow of milk this winter. These
crops should be fed just
after the cows have been MIXED
to avoid tainting the milk.
Sow a small patch of crimson
clover for winter grazing and to
produce seed for next year. This
should be done Immediately.
Oats or oats and vetch sown in
this month or early next month
will furnish grazing for the cows
this winter and produce a good
crop Of oats or hay next spring.
Get bur clover and white clover
started in your permanint pas
ture.
The cow must have an abun-
dant supply of green succulent
feed the year through if you ex-
pect her to give her maximum
flow of milk. Watch the milk
flow this month; keep it up, it
will mean money to you later as
now.

Everybody Sees a
Change in Father
Farmer Suffered for Over Twenty
Years and Paid Out Thousands

my father has suffered from
chronic stomach trouble for over
20 years and has paid out thou
sands of dollars on medicines
and DOCTORS" said G. w. Slay-
ton, a we'll known Cobb county
farmer, who lives near Smyrna,
a short distance out of Atlanta.
1--WE tried nearly everything
trying to cure him. and he went
off to springs, thinking maybe
the water would help him, but it
just looked like would
nothing reach his trouble.
Then he tried dieting, and lived
on liquid food until he was al
most starved but even that
failed to do any good, and he
just kept going from bad to
worse.
Il don't guess there ever was
a case as stubborn as his, and if
there ever was a confirmed dys-
peptic he was one of them, and
| guess he would have been one
yet if it hadn't been for this
Tanlac.
The first we heard of this
medicine was when my father
saw an advertisement in the pa
papers from parties he knew
in Tennessee, who were friends of
his, and he knew what they said
about it was the truth-so he got
it right away and began taking it.
well, sir, it acted just
like magic-and everybody no.
tices the change in father now
why, he is just like a different
man, and sits down to the table
and eats like a farm hand. Only
yesterday, he ate pork and tur-
nips for his dinner, and ate SO
much we were actually afraid
he was overriding the thing, but
he laughed and said nothing
hurt him now, and that he was
hungry and expected to eat and
make up for lost time.
Nov, when a medicine will
do things like that, / think the
people ought to know about it,
and / want to say right now
that | would not give one bottle
of Tanlac for all the other medi-
cines and health resorts in the
country put together. -
Tanlac is sold in Okolona ex-
clusively by w. E. BEARDEN,

facts are that this report was not
only a lie but lie promoted by
high handed forgery and fraud.
The facts are that instead of
naming II cents pound as a
reasonable minimum for this
years crop, the Farmers Uuion
presidents named 15c and say it
should be 20c. 1--WE find that
conditions warrant a price of
zoe, and we urge farmers not to
sell any cotton at all at lass than
l5c," is the official statement
signed by those presidents who
remained in New Orleans after
the discovery of this amazing
fraud.
The tragedy of it is that the
press agency which sent the
false report to all dailies seems
to have sent out no correction
whatever. We therefore urge
all papers friendly to farmers
to copy this article, and for fear
many editors will not see it we
urge every cotton growing reader
to send it to his newspaper.
The fight for fair prices can
not be defeated by knavery.
Conditions now are such that
farmers should get back the
millions they lost two years ago
and every GARNER should help
in this crusade. Progressive

To the adult portion of Okolo-
ma who do not give at least a
part of their life service to Chris
ton work, we the undersigned
feeling a very great interest IN
the place in which we live and
in you, beseech each Of you to
seriously consider what are we
doing to not only make our own
lives better but what are we do
ing to make those of our fellow
man better and happier?
Not a flower that blossoms and
blooms but watts its odor upon
the air; no aged or knarled oak
is ever wrenched from its bed OF
earth but an upheavel on the one
side and great depression on
the other is left.
Yet we of more value than
these and Created in Gods own
image" regard very lightly in
deed the influence we could have
for veal or woe. Why not de-
termine today, my friend, to
make your influence felt for
good and good only.
You would not live in place
where there were no churches,
yet you leave its institutions for
others to keep up, while you,
perhaps, are idling, eating, rec
reating and being merry.
You would not let any thing,
scarcely, keep you from a place
of worldly pleasure, but many
take the Sabbath for worldly
rest and recreation, for extra
dinners; as men and youth take
that day to sit on the street and
fill it with business gossip and
sensational reading; some allow
dress and money matters to
absent them; some take not
liking the pastor, superintendent
or even others as an excuse.

The pastor or superintendent
has not our obligations and re-
sponsibilities to discharge. We
alone can do that. If we will
only fill our lives with these good
things and of service to God
through our fellow man, in these
we will find our truest and most
lasting pleasures and the only
ones worth striving for.
We appeal to you, not because
we are so worthy, but because
we wish you to enjoy the bless

Keep the Milk Flow Up

/ Butter fat is now 80 cents per
bound and Elgin quotations are
advancing each week. From
present indications the price will
be unusually high all fall and
winter. It is therefore. impor-
Eant that you keep your cows
living a maximum flow of milk.
ITO do this you will probably
have to supplement the short,
dry pastures with some green
Efeed and will need to feed a lib
hral grain ration. Mix equal
barts of. cottonseed meal and
eorn meal or wheat shorts and
feed one pound of this mixture
10 each three or four pounds of
milk produced. You can not
afford to let the flow run low
|when butter fat is so high. You
would be unable to get the flow
lnp again if you once let it get
low at this season of the year.

Mississippi Next to Head

The next to the largest num-
ber of cattle dipped ever made
for cattle tick in any one month
in any state were carried out in
Mississippi in August of this
year. In that time the people Of
Mississippi, who apparently are
not delaying tick eradication un-
til their recently passed dipping
law becomes compulsory on jan
uary l, had provided 1,056 dip
ping vats, an increase of 35 over
the number in operation in July,
according to field reports receiv-
ed by the U. S. Department of
Agriculture. In these vats there
were 705, 424 supervised dippings
of cattle, or an increase of Is, 600
over the dippings carried out in
July.
Texas, where herds of cattle
are larger, is the only state
which has exceeded this number
of cattle dipped in a month. In
Texas, the dippings for July
were 760,846 and for August
740, 751 dippings under state or
federal supervision.

PICKETING
 IS LAWFUL
 J. 5. COURT

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.-The right of the members of the Tri-City Central Trades council of East St. Louis to picket the plant of the American Steel foundries was upheld today by the United States circuit court of appeals in a decision reversing the United States district court. The lower court was directed to modify it's decree en- joining picketlng and to make an entry in accordance with the ruling of the upper court
 'The right to strike for higher wages and improved conditions of labor is too firmly established to nec- essitate further elucidation," the de- cision said.
 ~In the pursuit of a lawful purpose to secure a raise in wages, picketing may be employed as this court has held, to ascertain whom the late en- plOyer has persuaded or attempted to persuade to accept employment and persuasion may be used to induce them to refuse or quit employment.
 Undoubtedly picketing and per suasion would interfere with the plain tiff's conduct of it's business in making it more difficult for them to retain old employees and hire new oness Indeed, the very act of striking often seriously interferes with that free and unres- trained control of the employers busi- ness. But the lawfulness of the strike is not to be tested by such in- cidental effect of it.
 ''The order in the present case fails to recognize this difference between the lawful means of interfering with another's business as an incident to the party's own right and unlawful means adopted by the same party.
 Methods may be considered law ful, even though the employers busi- ness is interfered with because such methods are incidental to the right of the employe which right should be and is recognized as equal to the right of the employer"
 The decision was handed down by Justices Mack, AlschnFer and Evans.

NEW CONCERN GETS AN IMMENSE ORDER
CFrOm Thursday's Daily Miner.)

The Mohave Lumber company has booked the largest material order ever placed at one time in Kingman. It will supply nearly all of the building material for the new high school building, including 13 carloads of Riverside Portland cement, all rough lumber and interior finish, sash and doors and all of the material that could be purchased in Kingman. The enterprising firm is one of Kingman's newest and most progressive concerns.
 Manager Scott is on the job night and day and wherever there is any thing doing in his line he does not overlook any bets. In a few days the firm will receive a solid trainload of lumber and building material, every bit of which is already sold and will be immediately delivered. Some of the material for the new high school build ing has already been delivered and is on the ground. Excavating has been started for the foundation. The con struction work is in charge of MT.

RICH STRIKE MADE IN OLD EMMA MINE
 IN STATE OF UTAH

Telegrams received here late yes- terday afternoon announced that a new crosscut had just broken into high grade ore in the Old Emma mine at Alta, Utah, near Salt Lake City at practically the identical spot where extensive diamond drilling, carried on the past seven months, had located, with almost mathematical precision, the faulted continuation of the famous Old Emma bonanza, lost over 40 years ago. An average sample of the en- tire face assays 125 ounces silver and 21 per cent lead.
 The Old Emma Mines and surround ing territory, in Utah are owned by interests which are identical with those in control of Arizona Copper fields, Inc, owning property in this county and c. S. Herzig and J. J. Beeson occupy the same positions in both enterprises-those of consulting engineer and geologist, respectively.
 In few months careful investiga- ton and examination of the Emma fault-system these two gentlemen solved the problem that had been mystifying their predecessors for 40 years.
 Consulting Engineer Herzig and Geologist Beeson are attacking the property of the Arizona Copperhelds, Inc, in the Mineral Park quadrangle about 20 miles north of here, in the same thorough and painstaking man. ner which solved the Old Emma fault system so successfully, and important local news may be expected in the near future.

GREAT INTEREST IN NEW CORNELIA WEST
 IN CAMP OF AUD

AJo, Dec. 5.-Local people are watching the pre-organization sub scription offering of the syndicate which has taken over the Savers Rowley-Thal group lying just west of New Cornelia, and which will be called New Cornelia West when organized as company.
 There will be a heavy subscription right in this camp, and word coming from Douglas, Tucson and other min ing centers that men who play first is sues of approved coppers, are taking kindly to the stock; in fact, indications are that by aSturday next, the issue will be more than doubly subscribed.
 Ajo is so well advertised by the great New Cornelia it is not surpris- ing that men who watch for quick money opportunities are after New Cornelia West reorganization hold ings. When the concentrator plan ned for Ajo Consolidated becomes a certainty, this camp will take on a boom that will be heard throughout the country, for with that company working, and the New Cornelia under way teaching in it's big 4,O00 ton daily capacity plant, the production of the camp will be coming from a monster total reservoir of ore that runs up to better than 75,OOO,OOO tons. That is a figure so staggering as to be beyond the comprehension of even oldtime mining men who have never seen such vast masses of copper ore piled up in heaps.
