YOUR BOY SHOULD JOIN THE
CORN CLUB AND PIG, CLUB

The possibilities of these two boys
clubs for the good Of Upton county
are enormous
1t is up to you, Mr.. Parent, to see
that these possibilities are realized.
Encourage your boys to join. See
that your neighbours boys have a
chance to join. Try and organize a
community Corn club in your noigh-
borhood. The number of boys en-
rolled depends not on the agents in
charge Of the work, but On the parents
in charge of the boys. Show the boy
that you are interested and he will
become interested.
One boy in the county last year
bought a pig for $2.75 and sold him
in the fall for meat for $685..
Three boys, sons of renter, bor-
rowed money and bought three pigs
for $3.50. In the fall, after repaying
this and paying for all feed, they
sold them at net profit of $500.
This would be small business for you,
but it is big bushes for the boy.
One boy in the county last year
made over 80 bushels of corn on one
acre. Another made over so bushels.
This would be big business for you.
Get busy now. See that the boy
writes me a card saying, Il want to
join the Corn club or Pig club, or
both, giving his name, age and adj
dress. See that your enthusiasm keeps
up and give him am acre worth work
ing, or help him find a pig worth
buying. Girls can join the Pig club,
too.
! will have charge of the Corn club
this year, and want to make show
ing for Upton county at the Mem
phis fair that the county will be
proud of.
You and your boy can help me.

HAS NO MORE NEED
FOR CRUTCHES NOW
P. G. Hooks Spent $4,000 Trying to
Restore His Wife's Health-Gains
Is Pounds on Tanlac.

Another wonderful Endorsement for
Tanlac that will be read with interest
by thousands Of frail, suffering wo-
men throughout the South was given
recently by Mrs. Elizabeth Hooks, of
Rome, Ga. Mrs. Hooks is the wife of
P. C. Hooks, a we'll known Southern
railway engineer. Mrs. Hooks made
the remarkable statement that she
had received more benefit from four
bottles of Tanlac than from medical
treatment that had cost her husband
$4,000, which he had paid out in the
past two years in an effort to restore
her health.
"For about two years., said Mrs.
Hooks, 81 have been in very bad
health and have suffered from stom-
ach trouble, extreme nervousness and
bad from of rheumatism. For more
than seven months | was confined to
my bed and was almost nervous and
physical wreck. Ny digestion was so
poor | had to diet myself and rarely
ate anything but soft boiled eggs and
milk and things of that kind, and even
the, lightest Of foods would nauseate
me and lay heavily on my stomach.
"Any sudden noise would affect my
nerves, and my husband had to quit
setting the alarm clock and the door
to my room had to be kept closed so
/ could not hear the ringing of the
telephone. l have had the rheumatism
in my left hip and shoulders so bad
| could hardly bear anything to touch
me.
my condition became so bad, my
husband took me to Hot Springs,
Ark, where / remained for month.
| had to use clutches all the time. The
treatment there helped me for while,
and returned home. / soon relapsed
into my old condition, and then | was
taken to a specialist in Atlanta,
Il had fallen off from one hundred
and twenty pounds until l only weigh
ed eighty-nine pounds--just shadow
of my former self.
FThe specialist prescribed course
Of treatment, but before using the
medicine | decided to give Tanlac
trial. | did this because of what
had read of Mr.. Cooper's new medi-
cine and because my husband had
heard so many railroad men recon-
mend it.
"'That was the best resolution of
my life. ! am now on my fourth bot
tie and feel better than at any time
since ! became i'll. | can now eat
anything | want, and my food agrees
with me-besides, everything | eat
tastes good and / enjoy my meals.
i have set my crutcheS aside and
actually feel so much better | told
my husband few days ago / believed
| would turn off the cook, but he in
sisted that wait while.
Il now weigh one hundred and five
pounds, which is a gain of sixteen
pounds, and am improving right along
every day. Before taking Tanlac ] |
was so weak and frail was greatly
and could not persuade
myself to believe that would ever be
able to enjoy another well day. But
don't feel that way now. am not
nervous like was, and can see and
feel great improvement. / sleep bet

Followers May Soon Be
In Power Again.

Mob Toward
Petrograd.

~Petrograd, Nov. ia decree has
been issued by the congress of Sol.

fishing the rights of land owners and
handing over all estates forthwith to
agricultural committees.
The decree provides that all prod
ucts of the subsoil, including coal,

of small owners is not to be confis-
Gated. Each citizen has the right to
own as much land as he himself cui-
~tivates, without hiring labor.
Revolt Is Weakening.
London, Nov. 12.-Apparently the
Bolsheviki IN Petrograd is nearing its
end and Premier Kerensky may soon
again be in power. Late advices, from
Petrograd are to the effect that the
revolutionists have been defeated in
Moscow and at Tsarkoe-Selo. and
from the latter town, which is Is
miles from Petrograd, are r~etreating
a d~isorderly mob toward the capital.
In Petrograd, street fighting has taken
place, with the Cossacks and other
loyalists having the better of the Boil
sheviki.
Big Battle Expected.
Kerensky with 100000 men is on his
way from Gatchina to reinforce the
loyalists. To stay his progress. how
ever, the rails of the Petrograd-Gat.
china railway have been torn I'M and
large forces of the Bolsheviki are
said to have gone out 10 give battle.
To add to the troubles of the Ker-
ensky government, q state OF war has
been proclaimed in Finland and the
governor general dismissed, his place
having been taken by a sailor. The
Diet has voted to elect a state direc-
torate which will have supreme power
in the province.
