Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half


Tens of thousands Of farmers as well 40
town and city folks cut down their store
bills one-half last year and saved money
in spite Of generally short crops and re-
duced wages.
Absolutely millions Of dollars were
saved and countless families lived better
than ever before in the face Of the cotton
crisis and general business depression.
How were these burdensome store bills
cut down. BY the real money-saving
power Of good home gardens, rightly
planted and kept planted and tended
through the season.
Hastings 1916 Seed Catalogue tells how
10 cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds Of kinds and quail

4 WOMAh'S VIEWPOINT
ON PREPAREDNESS.

In the March Woman's Home
Companion is an article by Agnes
Reppher on preparedness in
which she says;
ssThe cartoon Of Uncle Sam
opening his tattered umbre LA,
with the remark Here's hoping it
dosen't rain !express the attitude
of men and women to whom his
tory has taught nothing. Why
should we deem ourselves safeg
The ocean offers no more protec-
tion in this century than did the
Mediterranean five hundred years
ago. A large civilian population
offers no more protection now
than it did when Theodoric over
run Italy. We cannot say that
we are in nobodys way, for we
are distinctly in the way Of the
coveted South American trade.
We cannot say that we are not
worth invading. When Field
Marshall Butcher gazed upon the
splender of London he said with
the robust simplicity of his race
What a town to loot The splen-
dor of New York lying defence
less on her beautiful harbor is
enough to make old Blucher turn
regretfully in his grave, Our
treasury is bursting with the
allies gold. Our wealth like the
wealth Of Carthage. Is an affront
to the world. Our neutrality has
won for us neither friendship
nor respect. 1t has not protected
us from repeated affronts. II
has not saved our citizens--men,
women and children from de-
struction. The sinking of the
Lusitania the Arabic the Heaper-
ian and the Ancona were tributes
raid to our imitless forbearance
Whatever may be our capacity
for self-deception, we can hard
ly base our hopes for the future
upon the tenderness shown us in
the past

that I have endeavored to faithfully
serve you people to the best Of my
ability and fully realize that every

none other have dispatched your
business with the Office just as fast
as the schedule Of the three routes
permits. Tis true that oversights oc

appointment that such might cause

This Is very gratifying to me In

department am proud to state that
my postal report which is made
every three months and the money
order report every month has bal
anced to a cent. This is nothing to
you Of course only in general way.
In spite Of the hard times I have

lup considerable sum. Also we
have handled about 125 600 all classes

make. The law requires that mail
boxes be erected at suitable places
for the Carriers to serve on post at

On the two rural routs we have

FINANCIAL OUTLOOK FOR.
AGRICULTURAL SOUTH
| NOT CERTAIN.

j. A. Wade state commission
or of agriculture and industries
in his weekly letter issues q
lgravs warning to the farmers Of.
Alabama. He says:
The financial outlook for south
ern agricultural conditions in the
fall OF 1916 is the most indefinite
that the southern people have
faced since the days following
the civil war. Will the financial
skies be bright or will the dark
shadows of depression hang
heavy overhead with war still
raging in Europe and cotton
contraband of war with the
country infested with boil weey-
lis and weakened by the depress-
ion Of 1914 and with fertilizer
material scarce and prices high :
Efficiency and economy in all
labor and expenditures will be
the best policy TO persue.
If you would be prosperous
do not borrow any more money
than you are obliged to have do
not buy on a credit any more
than you can possibly avoid use
commercial fertilizer sparingly
applied with the seed as q crop
starter and keep your crod grow
ing by frequent shallow culti-
vation extending late into the
season. Plant plenty of food
crops for your family and feed
your live stock. Take care Of
your cows and beefers and pro-.
vide good pastures in order that
you may have plenty Of milk
and butter for the family and
some to sell. Take good care of
the sows and Keep the pigs grow
ing. Increase your poultry and
make the hens help feed the fam
lily and have some eggs and fry
ers to sell. Make a good garden
And try to get a living out of it
you will be surprised how nearly
you can do it. Plant plenty OF
corn velvet beans, peanuts, COW
peas potatoes and hay. Stay at
home and work every day that
you can find something to do.
Go to town only when you carry
something. Remember that it
is while you are In town that
you are either spending money
or going in debt while the value
of your labor at home is going
to waste.
Plant few acres of good early
| cotton. Do not wait too long
to get better cotton seed as the
best seed may be all sold while
you are getting ready to buy.
Plant cotton on good warm
we'll drained upland and the boil
weesils will give you less trouble
Dampsfich land will no longer
make cotton but will make bum
per crops of weevils.

WILLIAMS IS UN.
OPPOSED.

4 e.
"All talk Of opposition to the
reelection of Senator John Sharp
Williams has about subsided aud
indications now are that Senator
Williams will enter the approach
ing senatorial primary without q
single opponent. 1t is well that
this is so. In the first place
where is the man who could de-
feat John Sharp Williams and if
by any eccentric turn in politics
this could be accomplished, where
is the man who could occupy the
place in the affairs of the nation
that Senator Williams now holds?
.'Senator John Sharp Williams
is recognized as one of the
ablest Statesmen in congress.
He is President Wilson'S right
hand bower and has never
wavered in his support OF the
administration. He is leader
in the fight for Preparedness
and for other legislation which
with information available in
his position in the affairs of the
nation tells him is for the ulti-
mate good of the whole people.
Senator Williams has never.
betrayed the trust imposed IN
him by the people of Mississippi
and at such a time as this when
the country most needs great
men it would be most unpatriot
ic to even attempt to unseat
him. .,-Laurel Leader.
Reproducing this, the Green
vile Democrat says:
-The Leader is edited by Col.
Mott Ayres a supporter Of Gov.
BiIbo and on the governors staff.
Whether the Leader speaks with
any authority beyond the views
of its capable endtor we know
but the views expressed coming
from the Leader would Indicate
that even if Senator Williams
had opposition it would not
prove serious.
''The towering ability of Sen
ator Williams and his recog.
nized leadership in the senate
make him an honor to the nation
and especially to Mississippi.
We believe the Democrats OF
Mississippi regardless Of political
faction will agree that it is we'll
to keep Senator John Sharp Will
liams in the senate"
And there are many others
that think the same way; still
one could get up an argument on
the subject without leaving the
capitol on a busy legislative da u,

THE NEED OF COOPERATION

Because Of the clear evidence in state such as ours
of the need of cooperation work has been in progress
for years to apply that principle in numerous activities
of people TO this end there have been established
cooperative elevators creameres and cheese factories
In some cooperative stores have been established
and we have many banks which, because of the general
distribution OF ownership among members Of the local
community are in principle cooperative Much of this
work has been experimental and all of it has been
Immediately successful Inadequate capital lack of ex
perlence, and in the dishonesty of trusted
agents have placed many Of these enterprises in Difficult
ties But as experience mas been gained effective
methods have been employed and nothing is now more
clearly established than that the cooperation of members
OF community engaged in like occupation is practical
and profitable, not only for the members themselves but
for al with whom they have business relations

growing interest in the policy of cooperation pro-

To the Citizens of North Dakota:

The state Of North Dakota today faces the greatest
crisis in it's history On the result Of the approaching
primary election will depend, in very large measure,
whether the state will retain it's present position the
most prosperous state in the Union will enter upon
an era of uncertainty and disaster
The statement that North Dakota is the most pros
porous state in the Union is not open to question 1t
is matter of record and Statistics Undispued official
records show that not only is North Dakota per capita
production of products greater than elsewhere in the
United States but that the returns from those products
have given to the people Of North Dakota during the
past year dollars and cents per individual than
anywhere else the continent And because have
among men Of very great wealth, and because
abject poverty such found in the congesed ceners
is unknown among us, the wealth realized the result
Of the activities of the past few years is evenly
distributed than in any other state
