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 we're 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. H. G. HASTINGS

they have discovered surprising
amount of Wilson sentiment among re-
publicans
The pacifist cult seems to be strong
among the farmers in many sections of
the state. They were friendly toward
Hughes at first. but seem to think since
his campaign tour that his mood is too
belligerent. They object to his criti-
cism of Wilson's foreign policy, taking
the ground that Wilson has kept US
out Of war and that his methods
should not be criticised so long as he
has attained that end.
The German vote is still hostile to
Wilson, but the reported detection is
among Scandinavians and native Amer
leans. 1t is disquieting here as straw
that may point toward the decision in
doubtful states. While there is little
chance that Wilson can carry Mime

seems to have been made without con-
