In q Z. S. Government report the
King, from our hands, is shown
producing a bale TO the acre, while
its rival, in same field, produced
less than an eighth of bale-the
King beating by 800 per cent.
We offer certified reports from
farmers from all parts Of the Weevil
infested territory, in which they de
clare the KING PRODUCED FULL
CROPS; while their neighbors,
planting other kinds, produced SO
little the cotton wasn't picked.
What is such insurance worth?
Wouldn't il be richly worth
$1,000 an acre? And YET YOU get
the seed for less than $50 an acre.
And then, too, under any and all
conditions il pays to plant the King

we offer The certified statements of
hundreds: YES, two thousand or
more, who declare, for instance,
that a 5-ACRE BAG PRODUCED

If 5-acre bag produced only one
extra bale of cotton you would get
YOUR MONEY BACK ABOUT
TWENTY TIMES, since the seed

Can YOU afford to pay $3.50 an

THE FAUlTFlN DER

The worlds greatest nuisance Is tho
Pathfinder, for he is conspicuous ev-
erywhere. He does not hide his light
under bushel nor speak In a whis-
per- His mission is to be seen and
heard.
The Creator in six days made the
universe and when il was finished de-
c)ared that the work was good. Yet,
since its creation, the world has been
full of fault finders who do not think
It is good enough for them.
The popularity of the habitual
fault finder is that he has no reason
tG find fault. He dlsturbs the serenit,
of those who are happy and who
would enjoy peace and contentment
hut or him.
Nothing satisfies the fault finder
and no era has been free from his tan
talking presence. The faultfinders ex.
asperated Moses on the mount until
he dashed to pieces the stone tablets
inscribed with the first written laws
OF God and man.
Hc 10 thC VI thO
family circle He undermines affec.
ton, destroys peace and breeds dis
content. He is the fly in the ointment,
the unwelcome intruder He makes
the task of the genuine reformer more
difficult.
He blocks the path OF progress. He
cumbers the statutes with unneceI'
sary and unavoidable laws. He die
tates destructive policies to those In
authority and makes them cover be-
fore his vitriolic tongue. his poison
Gus pen and pestiferous persistence.
No church has been without It's
fault finder, no social organization; no
chop, factory or office and no move
ment for the public good Is exempt
from his intrusion.
The Pathfinder is found everywhere
scattering the seeds of distrust, pois
oning the minds of those who will lis
ten, marshalling the forces OF unrea-
son, casting shadows on the sun, dim
ming the light of the stars, hooking
the hopes of humanity and challeng-
ing the goodness OF beneficent Prov
idence.
Out with the Pathfinder! We have
no room for him-Leslies.

glanced up the hillside again. The
Gray Wethers looked healthy enough
feeding there patiently In the mist.
and he fancied himself both as q bar.

eye for sheep.
Without q word he marched indoors
and wrote out q check. which he
handed to Eric with the remark: IF

Together they climbed the hill, the
oder man puzzled and suspicious. the
younger frankly triumphant and at
last they came to the famous Gray
Wethers which Mr.. Petersen had
bought for $50 kroner.
He looked at the stones, and first he
swore and then laughed.

cried, ito think that Ia man with a

American proudly.
Heavens, how they will laugh at
me when the story comes out"
1T is sure to be cabled across.
Can't you see the headlines, Mr. Pc,
tersen? Eric laughed.
The millionaire laughed too, and
slapped him on the shoulder.
Look here, young man." he said
andy, do you really and truly love
Iny girl?"
81 do, sir"
Then you had better go back and
tell her that her hard-hearted father
has given in. You can save her, you
rascal, and bring her up here to see
her poor swindled father looking re-
gretfully at his latest purchase"
He held out his hand and Eric
shook 1t heartily.
I'VE will make 1t a bargain, sir" he
said jokingly. "In consideration Of
you giving me your daughter I'll keep
my mouth shut about this little deal
OF ours and give you back this check"
He handed 1t over as he spoke and
the millionaire looked at 1t long and
earnestly.

said, "and whenever / am feeling
