LITTLEFIELD FARMER
TO PLANT COTTON

A. V. Nickel and son, Leonard,
were here Saturday from their farm
near Littleficld. for extra equipment
and accessories for their tractor, with
which they win cultivate large
crop. the greater part Of which VIII
be planted 10 cotton.
Mr.. Nickel has been farming on
the Plnins for about six years, and
il very successful with All his IN
dertakings. and we are sure that he
will make n bumper crop next year,
n given u fair season.
When we consider that Lubbock
gets some business from the smaller
ncighboring towns such as tractor
and larger farming machinery which
Is not generally sold IN the smaller
stores. we can figure on q mighty
large trade territory, a. there arc
men here from those places every
few DAYS TO buy implements and
other farm necessities.

ReIiqion in Ireland,

One of the strangest contradictions
IN Ireland Is the fact that the old
Catholics worship in new churches.
while the new Protestants retain the
old churches. in Armagh, for instance,
p. w. Wilson writes in Worlds Work,
there are two archbishops, the one a
cardinal and the other the Protestant
primate. The cardinals cathedral,
with its delicate spires, Is recent
fresh-looking-m modern. The primate,
however, controls the old gray shrine
with its grim tower, which was reared
for Catholicism by medieval monks
Some Catholics think this is a grev-
ance; others consider that new build
!ngs are better suited than old ones to
the needs of the Twentieth century.
Be that as 1t may, you have in Dublin
two great cathedrals-St. Patrick's
and Christ church-bOth medieval
and both Protestant-while Catholics
fill their churches five times on a Sun
day morning.

1--WE put Tanlac to the test four
times right in my own family and it
hasn't failed me once" declared Mr..
'Gingras. "My wife, my son and my
daughter. as well as myself, have all
been built up from a half-sick, rum
down, worn-out set Of people into a
healthy, happy family brimful Of new
life and energy"
And the experience Of this family Is
only typical of thousands of others
whose statements are on file in the
Tanlac offices. Hardly day passes
that does not bring scores Of such mes
sages of praise from every part Of the
United States and Canada from fami-
lies where mother, father, son and
daughter have all found health, con-
tentment and the Joys Of living
through simply taking course of
Tanlac.
Take, for instance, the case Of John
Widner, 1911 Roosevelt Ave-, Los An
geles, Calf, who says: "My wife, my
self and little boy are now as healthy,
happy family as you will ever see
and it's all due to Tanlac."
Or that of Mrs. John Marquis and
her family of sixteen living in Man
chester, N. H., at 292 Belmont St.
She says: "Tanlac has been the only
medicine used in our house for two
years and it has kept every one of the
sixteen here in the best of health"
In Chicago, Frank X. Richards, of
AL South Wood ST., writes: eve will
never be without Tanlac in our house
after the remarkable way it has built
up my wife, my son and myself to
where we are the very picture of
health"

Killing MOSQUITO Larvae.

A mixture of one part paris green
to one hundred parts of dust-road
dust Is good-thrown up in cloud,
to be carried by light wind and al
lowed to settle on pools where mosqui-
toes breed, is the newest and most
successful method of killing the lar
vac. The minute quantity of the pol
son Is not injurious to stock that might
drink of the water, and the only pos
sible danger Is that Of inhaling the
dust, which can be guarded against.
The larvae of the mosquito eat any.
thing that is held suspended by the
surface tension of the water, and they
are easily poisoned.-Youth's Compan-
ion.

Representative Of New York is the
case of Chas. e. Van Colts family, re-
siding at 100 Fourth Ave-, Albany. He
says: every member of our family is
enthusiastic over Tanlac. It's certainly
a medicine for all the family"
From far-away Canada comes this
message: MY little girl, my son and
myself are all enjoying splendid
health now and Tanlac brought it nll
about" Mrs. Bert Hewer, 1913 East
Avenue, Toronto. Ontario.
"We call Tanlac The Family Medi-
cine here in our Virginia home, be-
cause 1t restored my mother and sister
to perfect health, just the same as 1t
has done me-" is the enthusiastic
statement of Mrs. ]. F. Robertson.
Danville, Va.
And on through the list, men, women
and children from every state in the
Union and every province of Canada
unhesitatingly come forward and tell
in words ringing with sincerity Of the
wonderful benefits of health and hap
piness that Tanlac has brought into
their homes that were formerly dark
ened by the gloom Of sickness, suffer
ing and despair.
And should yours be one of those
homes where any member of the fam
lily is thin, run down and weakened
from loss of appetite. caused by indi-
gestion and stomach troubles, you have
at your very door the means that will
no doubt bring the sunshine of vigor-
Gus health back into their lives and
yours, just as 1t has done in so many
thousands of other cases. Do not de-
lay. Get bottle Of Tanlac from your
druggist today.
