Common Sense Farming for Cotton

There is one hope and only one hope
for the farmers in the cotton belt, and
that is in the production of the neces-
sary food and feed and then cotton
Let us not entertain the notion fol-
one moment that cotton conventions
and warehouses will save US if we de-
pend on the credit merchant for food
and feed. All cooperative plans for
holding and selling cotton will surely
fail if We go in debt for the food fol
our families and the feed for our
teams.
There is absolutely no hope for the
farmers of the South as long as the
husband, wife and children cultivate
the larger part of the farm in cotton
to pay for high-priced bacon, lard
mules, lay, corn and other farm pro-
ducts. This means that we must dump
our cotton on the market in the fall

Liquid And Tablet
Form

Why should any girl or young
woman continue to have pale, sal
low complexion and a listless, run
down system devoid of energy and
vitality?
Such young folks are continually
unhappy and detected simply be-
cause they accept such condition
as their misfortune, and envy their
friends who are in the bloom OF
health and enjoying all the good
things of life.
If such young women would
realize that their anemic condition is
probably due to thin, impoverished
blood, which could easily be enrich
ed by Guides Pepto-Mangan, how
much happier and attractive they
would be.
GUIDES Pepto-Mangan is a safe
beneficial and pleasant tonic for any
one suffering from any ailment
caused by poor blood. If taken reg
ularly for few weeks it will en-
rich the blood with thousands of the
healthy red-blood cells that are need
ed to carry nourishment to every
part of the body.
Pepto-Mangan is sold in both liq-
uid and tablet form. Both contains
the same medicinal ingredients.
Buy Pepto-Mangan at your drug
gist's. Be sure the name "Gude's''
is on the package. Without "Gude's'
it is not PePto- Mangan.

Smith is the youngest SO licitor we have ever seen conduct an investigation before a grand jury, he proved himself in every way compe- tent and qualified and his ability to conduct the investigation and dispatch the business would speak well for a man far in advance of his years.
