DANGER OF DRAFT.

Drafts feel best when We are
hot aud perspiIing, just when they
are most dangerous and the re-
suit is Neuralgia, Stiff Neck, Sore
Muscles or sometimes an attack
of rheumatism. In such cases
apply Sloan 5 Liniment. 1t slim
ulates circulation TO the sore and
painful part. The blood flows
freely and in a short time the stiff
ness and pain leaves. Those SUI
fering from Neuralgia or Neural
gic Headache win find one or two
applications of Sloan's Linimeut
will give grateful relief. The
agonizing pain gives way 20 a
tingling sensation of comfort and

TOO MUCH COTTON WILL
CRIPPLE THE SOUTH.

One of the leading Federal Re
serve officials says it will be ex-
ceedngly unwise 10 plant large
acreage of cotton this spring. A
mong other things, he says.
Let the farmers, the mer-
chants and bankers of the South
take counsel together, and let the
newspapers, and those published
at the county seats particularly,
advocate in every issue for the
next six weeks, and with all their
force and power, the doctrine OF
Investigation, and let them point
ont the dangers of the One-crop
system
Remembering, my friends, that
if the war continues for = months
longer, in all probability the pur-
chasing power of Europe will be
seriously impaired. The cost Of
munitions and supplies is enor-
nous, and food prices in the war
ring countries are soaring. Ac-
cording to the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics of the Department
of Labor, food taken as a whole,
in the United States costs 3 per
cent more today than il did Il
year ago. Prices in Great Britain
have increased about a per cent
and in France about % per cent
In other beligerent countries the
advance has been 100 per cent
Remembering that the cotton eX
changes are not eleem0synary in
stitutions, and that operators on
cotton exchanges have no senti-
ment except a desire for gain. Man
ket opinions vary as conditions
change, and operators are not
consistent bulls or bears. but shift
their position without notice rs
new conditions arise. The fact
Is realized in all the cotton mar
ketS of the world that the course
Of prices depends primarily upon
the supply, and for the next three
months at least estimates Of sup
uly will be based upon the new
crop acreage. What this acreage
will be in America depends upon
the farmers of the South. Should
;hey decide during the next few
weeks to produce their food stuffs
at home and 10 plant cotton as a
money crop, their position will be
secure. but if, disregarding all
the warnings and portents Of the
times. they decide upon a poll
cy of all cotton, they will be
taking a tremendous risk, which
no prudent business man would
care 10 assume. "

MEXICAN OUTLAWS INVADE
u. s. AND KILL l6.

Francisco Villa, outlawed Mexi-
can bandit, raided United States
territory Thursday. With 500
men he attacked Columbus, n.
Mex, killed at least l6 Americans
and fired many buildings before
he was driven back across the IN
ternahonal bridge.
Not less than $50 troopers of
the Thirteenth United States
Cavalry followed the Villa ban
dts into Mexico, but they eluded
capture. Several of the raiders
were killed before getting back
across the line.
This makes a total of III Amer
cans killed during the Mexican
revolution and brings Pres. VIII
sons policy of "watchful wait.
ing" to a sudden el0se.
