Capes for Fall
As a result of the conservation
measures, designers have created a
variety of cape designs, which were
shown in their openings. Their grace
full lines appeal to all women and they
NAV be made from minimum amount
of material. One of the smart women
seen at an aviation fete not long ago
wore a beige duvetyn, the lower edge
of which just dripped with heavy silk
en- fringe Of darker shade. The body
of the cape was shirred on a deep yoke
which extended around the shoulders.
The long ends were edged with fringe
to correspond with the lower edge.
However, coat suits are vieing fol-
favor, and so far are running them a
close second. The majority Of suits
are fur trimmed and the materials are
not pure wool. For wool, too, must we
give up, not entirely, but that percent

AT LAST! MIGHTY
MANTONE Is HERE
Great NOn-Alcoholic Tonic For Men
And Women Has Finally
Arrived
This town gets Mantone:

This town gets Mantone:
Mantone is the great non-alcoholic
reconstructive tonic for men and wo-
men. 1t is from the formula of an
eminent physician and for years has
been changing numberless nervous,
half-sick and rundown grown-ups in
to well. strong and happy folks.
I'VE intended to bring Mantone
here long ago." said the Mantone
Medical Director, but the people in
other sections likes it so we'll that
they taxed our output. Recently,
however, we made labratory in
creases an. though the demand is
great and grows greater each day,
we will be able to keep up with it.
"A few of the many reasons for
the success OF Mantone follow. Man
tone contains no trace of brooze, it's
al medicine. Therefore its results
excel so many of the alcoholic so
called medicines that flood the mar
ket today. Ask your doctor what he
thinks of alcohol in medicine. Then
ask him about nuX-vomica. phos-
n"Cr"" I'D iron. all of which are
found in MantOn". We know that
Mantone will put new strength,
health and life into any man or wo-
man not victim of incurable dis
eases. Consequently we are able to
tell the people. IF Mantone fails to
help you then go to your druggists
and get your money back What al
coholic preparation is sold on this
guarantee?
"Mantone is sometimes called the
King OF Reconstruction Tonics,' a
name given by doctors after they put
it to the test.
Makes You Feel Good
All Over: is such a good medicine
that all druggists in and around here
sell it.-3-14-1t.

Ion County swats that often this
summer, what terrific racket it will
make, day and night.
Etomologists figure that if all the
offspring of a female fly in the
spring would live, there would be
more than five thousand billion to
attend the family reunion in the
autumn.
According to this. the flies can
never be swatted out of existence
unless we redouble our efforts. which
would mean that all of us must swat
11,197. .44O.O 200 times this sum-
mer-and begin with the advent of
warm weather.
If this tremendous swatting cool
ed us off. instead of making us
warmer. we'd more than double our
quota of swats.

What Soldiers ut Home Can DO

There are such things as soldiers
at home as well as soldiers at the
front. and it is we'll for those who
are at home to realize what they can
do. There are many view points Of
what the "stay-at- homes" can do to
cooperate with the government
but they have been tersely stated by
Mr. Clarence Poe, the distinguished
editor of the Progressive Farmer,
who represents the United States De-
partment Of Agriculture. He outlin-
ed what the ''stay-at homes" can do

The slow movement of fertilizers
is giving the farmers of Dillon
county much anxiety. Heretofore
the farmers have been able to get
their fertilizers hauled by the latter
part of January but the middle of
March finds many farms with less
than one-third of the seasons re-
ouirements on hand The situation
is becoming serious. The manufac-
turers claim they are helpless be-
cause they cannot get the cars and
the farmer has no assurance that he
will be able to get his fertilizers In
time to make crop. The same sit
uation no doubt exists in other cOun-
ties throughout the southeastern
states and if something is not done
to facilitate the movement of fertil-
iHers the cotton and corn production
in these states will be seriously i'm
paired. 1t is conservatively estimat-
ed that there are million tons
which must be moved within the next
80 days and with no cars to move
this huge amount of fertilizer the
outlook is not very encouraging to
the farmer who is preparing his land
for this years crop. 1t is claimed
that the car shortage is traceable to
the recent order of the director gen
erai of railroads transferring $500
cars to the west to haul grain. The
south does not want to rob the west
of its transportation facilities but the
south must have cars to haul it's fer
tilizer or the nation will suffer. The
government is urging. the southern
farmer to make his lands produce
maximum crops this year but the
south. and particularly the south
eastern states. are largely dependent
upon the use of fertilizers in max
ing crops and if it is impossible to
obtain an adequate supply of fertil-
izers the south will fall far short OF
its normal production in cotton and
corn.
