Cut Your Store Bill
Down One Half

Tens of thousands of farmers as well as
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
to cut store bills down; tells about gar
den and farm seeds of kinds and quail
ity that cannot be bought from your mer-
chant or druggist. It's full of garden and
farm information. It's free if you ask
for it. Write for it now. ii. G. HASTINGS

So many drag along through
life and never speak a word of en-
enlargement to their fellow man.
If you never tried it just step up
to a man some day and say to him
that you appreciate him as neigh
Dor and friend and see the
change that will come over his
countenance. The very look that
he gives you will amply pay you
for ten times that amount of
trouble and besides it will do him
so much good to know that he is
not without friends and that he is
worth something to his fellow
man. If glass of cold water is
given in the name Of the Son of
Man is not without its reward !,
certainly few words Of en-
enlargement spoken to a friend
will be the means of helping him
along through life. Many a man
would have given up all hopes of
ever succeeding. in life if it had
not been for the encouragement
of friend. 1t costs you nothing
to do this. The world is in great
need of sympathy. Union County

GET OUT OF THE OLD RUT.

What's the use of spending oui
whole lives sleeping in the same
old rut when there are bigger
ones all around us?
What's the use of being in rut
at all?
We want more industries in thi:

Let's crawl up out of our rut.
There is nothing in the old rut
for us, but there are opportunities
in every direction if we care to

We can stagnate in our rut, OF
we can reach out and grasp some
thing-pull ourselves out-dc
something-get to the top.
But we'll never do it as long as
we rattle around in the same old

cestors for company.
We need new industries, and
there are manufacturers all over
the country looking for changes
in location.
But they will never erect their
plants in a rut.
They are full of life, and they
want live atmosphere about
them.
They want to locate in a com
munity with advantages.
We have them.
They want to be surrounded by
people of intelligence, who know
how to use their brains.
We have the intelligence, anc
our brains are capable of accom-
