Feel that we would be derelict in
our duty and that we would not be
serving as we should, the business and
professional interests of Greenwood

not to put before them the present
paper situation as we zee it.
10 days ago there was an unexpected
and decided advance on all bonds,fl:.ts.
ledgers, envelopes, tags, etc. In some
instances as high as 25 per cent.
However, the advance in price is
really q small matter when even at
the advanced prices it IS impossible
to get stock in lots Of instances. And
the worst of the whole business is
that the situation is growing worse
every day. We have had this brought
to our attention most forcibly during
the past three weeks for the reason
that we have ! large number Of both

II You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the Best

Have you ever stopped to reason why
II is that so many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to a medicine.
"A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited to those who are in need of it.,
A prominent druggist says "TaSe for
example DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, q
preparation / have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has so large .
sale"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp-Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. T.,

Communities. as well as firms and
individuals, can reap legitimate profits
through advertising. In her day Rome
was a big advertiser and kept at 1t
SO persistently that eventually all roads
led To that metropolis. From the stand
point of legitimate municipal publicity,
America has several Romes. But this
monopolized by the big centers. In
deed there are scores Of communities
rural and semirural-that have put
themselves on the map in big red let
ters Their fame has not been re-
stricted by their small size. The secret
lies in their emphasizing some local
product which the community is well
suited to produce, and getting all In
terested persons to do their very best
In that line.
A purse Is trash compared with a
good name, according to Shakespeare,
and many towns recognizing the in
estimable value Of a good name have
bulk up regulations that have lined
the purses OF those forming the COM
munity. For example, Monroe county,
IN southern Wisconsin. has built up
national reputation for the fine quail
ity of its cheese. Not the least fac
tor IN winning and keeping leadership
In this line has been the annual
cheese day, a splendid community
event at which quantities Of the deli
cious product of the region arc given
away In sandwiches and In other
forms to thousands who share In the
occasion.
What Monroe county has done with
cheese, Garlic Springs, Tex, has done
with strawberries. The whole country
side In the vicinity Of this village joins
in honoring its favorite product each
season. Distinguished citizens come
from miles around to take part in the
festivities. The governor Of the state
counts It d privilege to be present.
Flowing Made Fine Art
That the humblest of farm tasks
can be honored and exalted by com
turn greatly profit thereby Is shown by
the record OF the Wheatland blowing
match In northern Illinois. This an
nual event, instituted something like
half a century ago along lines fol
lowed by the founders ancestors In
Scotland, attracts annually 10000 tC
$1,000 people. Here plowmen Of all
ages are divided into classes, the mem
bers Of which compete for prizes Of
fered for the best work done with rid
ing. walking and tractor plows. The
reputation for skill In agriculture ere
ated by this annual event has beer
worth an incalculable amount to the
farmers of this region, and partly be
cause Of 1t Wheatland farms ant
Wheatland products are considered

among the best In the whole Mlssis-
sippi valley.
The orange, growers of California
have learned SIMILAR lesson. Each
year they hold magnificent orange
festival which Is one of the big events
of the Pacific coast, attracting as many
as $4,000 people, some Of them from
distant states. The rivalry for hon.
ors has done much to raise and main
tain high standA>ds among the orange
growers OF the region.
A community celebration of a some
what different character but equally
effective in its advertising power, Is
the Ground-Hog day picnic at PUNK
sutawney, Pa. AT this novel annual
event farmers, politicians and former
residents to the number of many thou
sands gather to share in eating
splendid repast, the principal feature
Of which Is grounding meat. The
meat Is cooked in barbecue fashion
and invariably wins the praise OF the
celebrants. Speeches and informal
hearty greetings of old friends occupy

fine spirit of hospitality that obtains

Texas Turkey Drives Famous.
The little town Of Cuero, Tex, has
won fame FROM ocean to ocean be
cause OF it's turkey drives. Drivers Of
turkeys within a radius OF 100 to $50
miles bring in f1ocks Of birds on foot.
The fowls travel at slow rate dur
ing daylight and at dusk instmctively
huddle together. while their drivers
camp by the roadside untM dawn.
when the journey toward Cuero, a
Mecca Of turSeydOm, Is resumed. The
eliminating feature of this event Is
the turkey parAde In which all OF the
drivers lead their flocks through the
principal streets of the town. On a
recent turkey day no less than $4,000
birds were in the procession. Follow
ing the parade the turkeys are loaded
on cars and shipped to markets In all
parts Of the country.
There are thousands Of commune

CUT BADLY DISEASED TREES
Excellent Forestry Practice to Use All
Inferior Specimens IN Wood
Lot for Fuel.

1t Is an excellent forestry practice
to cut out the badly diseased, crooked
overcrowded, inferior trees In a wood
lot for fuel wood, giving more growing
space to the straight, promising young
trees, according to forestry specialists
of the United States department OF
agriculture. In some cases. such as
in stands Of old pines, few large
trees should be left for seed to re-
stock the land, unless the area Is to be
cleared. In many sections Of the coun-
try the present high prices of coal
have made profitable renewal OF the
wood fuel industry so that many farm
ers are finding it worth their while
to clear out the less desirable trees In
cordwood or shorter lengths.

FRAzEE. MAY SELL OUT
Group of Boston Men Ready to
DECKER for Purchase of Red
Sox and Ball Park.

BOSTON. December 3.-Joseph r.
Conway and Joseph P. Kennedy. men
toned as prospective purchasers of
the Red Sox, denied yesterday they
had any talk recently relative to pur-
chasing the FORMER champions from
Harry Fl. FraZee, but admitted that
there had been a conference some time
ago.
MANY months ago I talked with
FraZee. when he was willing to sell,
but since that time l think he has
gone cold on the proposition" said
Conway.
However, / am still interested in
base ball, and if there is an opportu-
nitv to purchase the Red Sox at the
right price / will not hesitate"
According to a story circulated in
this city the Red Sox were due for a
change in ownership before another
base ball season rolls around. Ac-
cording to this story. a group of Bos-
tonians, headed by Capt Joseph f..
Conway and Maj. Frank Cavanaugh,
were in the field to purchase outright
the Red Sox, together with the Fem
way Park property.
Frazee realizes the unpopularity in
this city of outside ownership and
also the suspicion among fans of a
syndicate between the New York
Yankees and the Red Sox.
With the time ripe for FraZee to I'M
derstand he is not the man to restore
pubici interest. it seems likely that a
new ownership composed of all Bos-
ton and New England men would be
good thing for the game.
