SHALL THE SOUTH BE FREE OR
 SLAVE?

To say that the south faces a grave crisis is to say what almost every body knows in a vague sort of way, but to bring all the people of the south to realization of the gravity of the crisis is a different matter. And after all the people realize its gravity it is still another matter to get the people to take the proper steps to prevent disaster.
 The crisis is whether the people of the south will accept independence or dependence, prosperity or poverty, enlightenment or ignorance, freedom or slavery.
 If the south is to grow all-cotton, then its people face possible depend ence, poverty, ignorance and slavery; if intelligent diversificaton is fol- lowed to the extent that last years cotton acreage Is not increased, the apostles of these conditions are cer- tain.
 There are hundred reasons why the cotton acreage should not be in- creased this year. The first and most important one is that small crop of cotton will bring greater returns to the south than large one. This is the case in all years, but more es- pecially so this year, when all indi- cations point to a further restriction, rather than broadening, of consump- 'ion' The export situation. now grave, promises to grow even graver. There IS already a scarcity of ships on the hgh seas, and by the time another crop Is ready for market the number VIII De less, rather than more, than at present.
 furthermore, the needs of the bel hgerent countries will certainly be as great Jas they are this year. The chances are that they will be even greater, for the supply of home pro- uueton may not be so large. There !ofe' the amount of available ocean ireight room promises to be steadily oh the decrease. Our own govern ment' made up largely of southern eohgresSmen, has refused in the past 'o relieve the situation by govern laent activity, and the indications are mat no help is to come from that source So that the outlook is for .urther restriction in the amount of iielght room available for cotton.
 mere Is, of course, a chance that .ne war will end by fall. but best Iuuges unite in saying the chance is very small, and even should peace .v'ne' the reaction would probably eieck the consumption of cotton for sufficient length of time to ruin the snahees of full return for this years crop.
 me part of wisdom, therefore, "'uiu seem to be the growing of only .1, "uch cotton as the world will be So'e to assimilate under the worst of ;'ui'iohs' This plan would not only taS ''e greater returns from the cot ''op' but would leave a larger in 'u,t or land available for the grow f,P g oi other crops that would be use- cos r iOf Iced and food and at home. th " enough and some to snare for to oo",'t arnet' plenty of oats and hay spoth os1ry the live stock entirely through pigs year, few more cows and ir tban eiickens rnd a garden will

Sloan Springs Man
 Gets Back Health

John M. Roach of Siloam Springs, Ark, was long a sufferer from stom- ach trouble and related disorders common in this section of the coun- try. Along with his stomach trouble he was occasionally attacked by la grippe. He was congested, unhappy, nervous-just like la grippe always makes one feel.
 He gave Mayr's Wonderful Remedy a trial. He was surprised at the swiftness with which his trouble van ished He wrote:
 When your trial treatment was received l was getting better on an- other treatment, so 1 deferred taking your medicine until an unusually se- were attack of la grippe came upon me. Previously l have had to just wear out such attacks. 1 thought this good test. I took your medicine according to directions and was never more surprised in my life. In thirty six hours the grippe was knocked silly and 1 have felt like a new man ever since."
 Mayr's Wonderful Remedy gives permanent results for stomach, liver and intestinal ailments. Eat as much and whatever you like. No more distress after eating, pressure of gas in the stomach and around the heart. Get one bottle of your druggist now and try it on an absolute guarantee if not satisfied money will be re- turned.

pendent and leave the returns from the cotton cash profit for the years work.
 The efforts of the cotton factors of the belt have already received the in dorsement of the bankers, and should receive not only the indorsement but the cooperative efforts of every mer- chant and man of influence in the south.
 The chief defect in the plans so far promulgated is that the effort is en- tirely negative. It is to prevent an increase in the acreage, rather than to secure a decrease. There is un- questionably going to be some that having eyes, see not" who will plant an increase in their cotton acreage. To offset this someone has got to de- crease his acreage. It is up to the individual farmer to do this. The old argument that "everyone else is going to decrease and I will make killing by planting big crop" is not only selfish, but unsound.
 Mr. Intelligent Farmer, it's up to YOU. YOU can make money out of diversification, therefore YOU can afford to cut your cotton acreage.
 Will you do it t?-Commercial Ap- peal.

WILL YOU HELP7

How much expense and trouble are
you willing to take on your shoulders
to help rid the community Of flies and
most Of the diseases which they dis
tribute? If you are willing to help, this
is what you will have to do:
Buy screens to cover every window
and door that you will open in YOUR
house this summer. Buy or make a
garbage can-something that the flies
cannot enter when the lid is on 1t. II
you keep horse make a manure bin
that will keep out flies. This is impor-,
tant because flies breed almost entire
ly in manure. If possible, have the
manure removed at least once a week
and spread on a field. Keep the horse'sI
stall clean.
Put fly-tight covers on the seats I'M
the toilet clubhouse. If the vault does
not fit the house tight, make it fiy-tight
by using cement-or bank it up with
earth and sod.
Don't throw out loose Feelings or
rotting vegetables. Put out a simple
fly trap near the kitchen door. Use
the swatter. Urge your neighbors to
take the same precautions.

TAKE THESE PRECAUTIONS
One of Our TOWnSWomen Tells
How She Rid Her Home of
Fly Pest Last Summer.

The thoughtful husband and wife
take great pride in the fact that few
flies are to be seen about their home
during the summer. 1t should be the
proud boast of every family in this
town, for the absence of flies indicates
a clean and healthful home place.
We were discussing recently the
proposition of local campaign against
flies with one of the best known wom-
en- in this community.
81 will be glad to help in every way
possible" she declared, and I'm sure
that if we all work together we can
reduce the amount of disease so per
cent here this summer-especially
summer complaint among children and
typhoid fever among the men and
women.
DO you know we had hardly any
flies around our place last summer?
OF course, it was a cool summer, but
believe our efforts to be free of flies
had much to do with their absence.
I'VE screened the house early. We
hung two fly traps near the kitchen
door close to the garbage can. We put
one trap at the door opening from the
dining room into the side yard. We
burned most of the garbage-peelings
and things. We had the manure hauled
away every Saturday morning. And
we used plenty of disinfectant around
the clubhouse. 1t wasn't much trouble
once we got the habit"
