There is little in the situation

The other reason must be that
people believe that there are

Here's my guarantee! Ask your drug

and take spoonful tonight. If it
doesn't start your liver and straighten
you right up better than calomel and
without gripping or making you sick I
want you to go back to the store and

Take calomel today and tomorrow you
will feel weak and sick and nauseated
Don't lose a days work. Take a spoon

BOYS, DON'T.

Don't forget that you are to be
men and husbands.
Don t smoke in the presence ot
ladies. 1t is never respectful.
Don t measure your respect 70
person by the clothes he wears
Don t try to make your fortune
by easier means than hard work.
Don't speak carelessly Of a
lady's character. 1t is her only
onchor.
Don't forget that the best and
greatest man was a boy.
Don't haunt the lady of your
choice at ball. party or picIc.
She has certain civilities to pay
elsewhere.
Don't fix your stare on the far
ones that pass along the streets.
To stare at anyone is not manly at
all. Don t neglect your business.
Take pains to do your work well.
Good workmen are always in de-
mand.
Don't sheer at the opinions of
others. You may learn wisdom
from those far less pretentionS
than yourself.
Don't swear. It is not neceS-
sary and does no good. 1t is
neither wise, manly nor polite, nor
agreeable to others.
Don't grow up to be a soured
old bachelor, when there are SO
many true and lovely girls that
will make such excellent wives.
Don't f1irt with young lady to
whom you are perfect stranger:
1t looks most ridiculous; and YOU
may get thrashed for it some day.
Don't unnecessarily make en-
emies. The good will of dog is
better than his i'll will. But don t
cripple your independence and
your individuality to please
friends.-Ex.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING.

Too many of us are looking fol
some thing for nothing. We ex
pect to have something to 'bt
given to us. A rich uncle is sup
posed to die and forget his other
relatives or some other kinsmar
of ours is supposed to leave some
thing to us. And we count or
that so strongly that we neglect
to make proper preparations
against the contingency that the
rich uncle may live or that the
other relative may think of
another.
Of course all Of us don't expect
something for nothing, but many
Of us do. And many of us who
have no rich uncle delude our
selves with the belief that one Of
these days wa shall fall into
something that will pay rich div
idends, without the necessary out
lay Of energy on our part.
Nor does it do us any good.
The man who expects to get
something for nothing, whether
he Is looking to rich relative OF
to the corporation Of firm for
which he is working, ought to be
disappointed.
That is the wrong system of ac-
curing the things desired, be it
money or anything else.
j man wants wealth, he
should fare forth and battle for
If he wants a girl, he
should enter the lists and strive
for the particular woman Of his
choice. If he wants anything
else. he should get into the game
and make q play for it. He may
get any one of the various things
he wants. and get it without q
struggle but the instance will be
rare and the attainment will be
robbed Of much Of its pleasure.
The best way to enjoy anything
IS to get it for yourself. Beau

HIGH PRICES AND INDEPEN.
DENCE, THE SOUTHERN
FARMER s OPPOR-
TUNITY.


is now woth $50 to $3.50; corn
is around $3.50 at most Southern
points, and wheat, oats and hay
are correspondence high. Prices
of all kinds Of livestock are soar
ing, and the same is true Of to-
bacco, peanuts. sugar, syrup
practically everything. in fact. the
farmer grows.
These prices mean, above al!
things else, that the Southern
farmers hour Of golden oppor-
tunity has struck. Never in the
history Of our country has the
farmer had greater opportunity
to achieve that economic in de-
pendence that is the rightful due
Of every American citizen. Never
again probably, will we see time
when the whole world will be SC
dependent upon the farmer. so
willing to adequately reward him
for his labor.
To the whites tenant Of the
South and the struggling land
owner we would especially appeal
to make use Of an opportunity
that may never come again.
I'm many a community in the
South this winter there will be
small farmers. both tenants and
landowners, with the proceeds Of
from ten to thirty five bales Of
cotton, or from one to four or five
thousand dollars in cash. Of
course in most cases the run
must be paid for, but even after
this is done there is probably go
ing to be a large surplus of clear
cash than ever before.
The use that is made Of this
money, the wisdom and fore
sight with which it is expended,
is going to determine the future
economic status of many South
ern farmer-determine whether he
shall remain tenant slave to
time prices. or whether he shall
be independent.
To the white tenant farmer, we
would say buy land. The man
who owns the land he tills. who
lives under his under his own
roof. has achieved an indepen-
dence that is worth all the effort,
the work, the hardship it may
have cost. But in buying, buy
wisely. Get good land. even if il
costs more. for some lands are
dear at any price. And then so
plan that after the land Isl
bought there will be some money
left for equipment and operation.
To the landowning farmers of
the South, now is the time 70
put away forever the crushing
timeprices system that has
dragged many good man down
