THREE WAYS FOR MERCHANTS
n TO & COOPERATE WITH FARM
ERS.


First, provide greater conveniences
throughout the town for the coun-
try people to use while in town on
busApess. With all the shade trees
POSTED "s5 Fine for Hitching Here"
and all the grass plots posted "Stay
Off the Grass" and no vacant lots
near the business centers, country
people often suffer great inconven-
fences in finding suitable places for
keeping their stock while in town or
in finding a place free from dust and
filth to eat their own dinners, which
it is often necessary to carry with
them.
Provide rest rooms where the coun-
try women and children can go when
through trading; where the mother
can leave the smaller children which
she is often forced to bring with her
while she does the family shopping;
where county, people w:o find it con
venlcnt to bring their lunches will
have a suitable place, Tree from dust,
filth and flies in which to eat; a com
mon meeting place for country
friends or town ana country friends
to find each other.
e. Merchants should encourage CO.
operation among farmcrs.--There has
been no single hindrance to- the de-
ve.opment of cooperation among far
mers more effective than the attitude
of the business world. Directly and
indirectly the idea Of cooperation
among farmers has been discouraged
and even broken up in many in
stances by underhandeG efforts when
n
business and agricultural methods is
absolutely essential to the highest dc
velopment Of the Souths unlimited
resources. Better rural conditions
are Fundamental in the South's de-
vclopmcnt. Larger profits from farm
ing. is the only hope for the "Wherc
with to make rural conditions bet
ter. Cooperation farming is the only
method that has proved profitable to
the masses.
3. Merchants should help each
county feed itsclf.-The merchants of
every town could render valuable as
sistance by being able to inform the
farmers of the fact that they are hav-
ing to bring into the town from out
side the county certain number of
bushels of oats, corn, Irish potatoes.
SO many bales Of hay, pounds of meat,
butter, so many hundred cans of to-
matoes, peaches, etc. They could help
the afrmers to standardize their pro-
duets SO as to meet the demands of
the markets. The farmers as a whole
throughout the South now but little
about preparing their products for
the market. The merchants know
what their trade demands, when they
have to make their purchases, etc,
and this information given to the
farmers will stimulate greater eff
fort to supply the demands of the
market and thereby save sending
thousands of dollars outside of the
trade territory of any town.. II.

WHY A FARMER SHOULD
DEPOSIT HIS MONEY

We have been urging. farmers to
start bank accounts, and it is inter
est!ng to see what effectsthis system
has o.! the business man with whom
Mr.. Farmer has dealingsa We believe
this effect is pretty we'll stated by
MIR. Hamp Williams, a prominent
arkansas hardware merchant, who
said recently:\
IF. after q farmer has bought a
bill OF goods, he takes out his check
book and writes me a check for the
amount, I naturally place a higher
estimate on him than | would if he
had paid me the cash. He CONVEYS
the idea to me that he is business
farmer, and | wonder if he has con-
siderable money in the bank; but if
he pulls from his pocket a little
greasy wallet and takes the money
from it. | can usually size up his
pile. If he makes mistake and paws
me too much cash, he must depend
upon my records to show the trans
action, and if my system of doing
business is no better than his, we can
never tell. On the other hand, if he
gives a check, the mistake is easily
found"
In this connection, too, let Us re-
peat that the thing to GO this fall is
not to paw your debts and then de-
post the balance of your crop money
IN the bank, but to deposit all this
money in the bank and then;-pay your
debts by check.-The Progressive
Farmer.

HE ALMOST. LOST HOPE
IN REPEATED FAILURES
Charleston Man Declared He Was Up

Charleston Railroad Man Declares
That at Last He Has. Conquered
His Troubles.

"Tanlac has done great deal for
me. Since l began taking it l have
gained ten pounds in weight and /
do not suffer ith any of those dis
tressing ailments and I am steadily
improving in health and strength"
In, these words, w. H. Lewis, a
Southern Railway section foreman, of
A Drake St., Charleston, summed up
the great relife Tanlac, "The National
Tonic" had given him. Mr.. Lewis
statement follows:
My system was generally run
down and out of tone before l began
taking Tanlac. I was a sufferer With
indigestion and nervousness. | had
contenled with indigestion and stom-
ach troubles for about twenty-five
years and it seemed that nothing |
took would give me permanent relief
and generally I failed to get relief.
l have taken\a great maTy different
medicines and\ have beeH treated by
physicians, butN continued to suffer
with my stomach.
"Gas formed in grgat quantities on
my stomach and i was troubled a
great deal with hhins around my
heart. at night Nwas very restless,
and my sleep WIS \broken and unre-
freshing, and | fvas\ \up and down all
night long. Pains Vn my abdomen
also added to/ my troubles and dis
II was subject to severe attacks of
nervousness and when \my nerves
were in that condition, and noise, if
it continued a while, would almost
drive me crazy.
"The Tanlac advertising had caught
my eye. and finally decided to take
1t, even if so many other medicines
had proved disappointing to me and
had done a lot to kill my faith in
medicine. But Tanlac proved the ex-
ception to this rule. Tanlac has done
great deal for me. have gained
ten pounds in weight and l do not
suffer from any of those distressing
ailments as did. My appetite is
good and l digest what l eat and /
DO not have those pains after eating
as once did.
MY nerves were quieted by taking
the .Tanlac, and l was also improved
so much that can sleep we'll now
and | feel much better and more re-
freshed in the morning now than
used to. In every way l feel whole
lot better.
"My wife also took Tanlac, and it
gave her just as satisfactory results
as it gave me.
81 am glad to recommend Tanlac
because of the results it gave my wife
and myself. Tanlac has been of great
benefit to both of us, and 1 highly
recommend it,"

Why Not "a Country Library.


Guilford County, N. c., has set a
good example Of town and county CO.
operation. The county commissioners
there and the authorities of the CITY
OF Greensboro are cooperating to
make the Greensboro library county
library instead of a city library. The
e9mmissloners GO nm have appropriated
1880 a year to help support the
library on condition that all white
residents of the county have equal
privileges in getting and using books
on call, and that six library sub-sta-
ttionss be established at six postoffices
IN the county. Fifty volumes are
sent to each postoffice for one month
ana then new lot of fifty is sent.
VI course, these six suD-stations are
SO situated that nearly everybody in
the coupty is now in reach of the
sive Farmer.

LOOKING FOR WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it isn't the work half SO much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard.
Rich blood, strong lungs and health
ful digestion make work pleasurable
IN business, in school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, but weak and ner-
vous-would just take SCOTS Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
to pulsate through every artery and
vein-let it build a structure of healthy
tissue and give you vigorous strength
you would find work easy and would
look for more. Insist on SCOTS.

DAVIS EXPLAINS ABOUT
STATE FAIR TICKETS
Most of Those Passed Free Were Con
nected with Fair in Various
Capacities.

Ny attention has been called to the
following editorial which recently APP
peared in one of our Vermont papers: :
''The Vermont state fair GER
tainly takes first place in passing
the dead-heads. You have a fairly
good attendance before anyone
pays admission when 7,400 free
tickets get past the gates
The State Fair Commission and its
officers have given the question of
free admissions great deal of care
full thought and consideration. Each
year this question comes up for atten-
ton at the meetings of the commits
sion and its executive committee, and
an effort is made to still better svs-
emize the giving of free tickets. The
officers are continually striving to re
duce the number of free admissions
and it now seems that we have got the
number down as low as is consistent
with good management. Anyone read
ing the editorial quoted above would
get the impression that over 1000
people were passed through the gates
without charge, and for the sole pur-
pose of seeing the fair, but such is not
the case and / think that it would be
well to show the various classes OF
free admissions that the public may
see that no more free tickets are is
sued than are necessary. First it must
be understood that at fair of this
size, it takes a large number of PEG
pie to run the Fair, pass the crowds
safely through the gates, look after
the grounds and live stock, and con
tribute to the amusement and comfort
of the patrons.
The grand total of free admission:
for the 1915 Fair was 1875 and wa.
divided into various classes as follows
L 27O employees of the fair
This class was composed of ticket
sellers and takers, policemen, detec
tives, attraction people, workmen il
care of the grounds, judges, boys tc
lead stock in the parades, Norwich
Cadets, band men, and the superin
tendents of the various departments
with their assistants and helpers.

Wilmington Times Says Annual Board
of Trade Meeting Was Frost.

Heading its story Annual Board

Wilmington Times printed the follow
ing concerning the annual meeting of
the Wilmington board of trade which
was set for Tuesday, February %:
''The annual meeting of the board
of trade, scheduled to be held in the
town hall Tuesday evening failed to
take place and the general opinion of
the nine members who turned out
seemed to be that it was the end of
the board.
"The meeting was scheduled for s
o clock, but it was long after that
time when the faithful few appeared.
Some of these stayed around until
satisfied that there would be no meet
ing and departed while others sat in
the hall until 'clock and then went
home. The affair was to have been
marked by election of officers and bv
reports of officers and committees, but
these have evidently been shelved for
all time. At any rate those present
are disgusted -

keep URIC ACID
OUT OF JOINTS
Tells Rheumatism Sufferers TO Eat Less
Meat and Take
Salts.

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states a well-known authority.
We are advised to dress warmly; keep
the feet dry; avoid exposure; eat less
meat, but drink plenty of good water
Rheumatism is a direct result OF
eating too much meat and other rich
foods that produce uric acid which is
absorbed into the blood. It is the
function of the kidneys to filter this
acid from the blood and cast it out in
the urine; the pores of the skin are
also means of freeing the blood OF
this impurity. In damp and chilly
cold weather the skin pores are closed,
thus forcing the kidneys TO do double
work, they become weak and sluggish
and fail to eliminate the uric acid
which keeps accommodating and circulat-
ing through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles causing
stiffness, soreness and pain called rheu-
matism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put tablespoon
full in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have a pleas
ant, effervescent Whitewater drink
which helps overcome uric acid and is
beneficial to your kidneys as well.

charge of the Y. NJ. G. A, and to the
few guests of the fair.
This makes a total of 1919 free adj
missions to the fair; only 100 of which
were strictly complimentary tickets.
1t is assumed that these tickets were
used each of the four days of the fair,
so the 1919 multiplied by four gives
the total of 1876.
| trust that the above explanation
will correct the wrong impression that
will no doubt be caused by the editori-
al and show the public that the Yer
mont state fair is not issuing an un-
necessary number of free admissions.
