Farmers Warned
Not to Plant too
Much Cotton in Y


Warning Is being sent out all over
the state by bankers, agricultural
agents and chambers Of commerce
against over planting Of cotton for
1922. Owing 20 the continued
drought which has prevailed over
the state for the past few months
cutting the wheat crop short, the
fear Is that a large acreage Of cot
ton will be planted causing the price
Of this product 10 fall below the cost
Of production and placing the farm
ers In the same condition they were
in during l920-2l.
The following letter was received
here by a local banker, n few
days ago, from II. +. Shropshire,
Sec'y Treas. Of the Better Agricul-
tural Association Of Texas. Similar
letters have been received from
other sources and Il would be good
idea for the farmers 10 study this
question before the planting Of an
other cotton crop:
As a banker, you know the ex-
IRENE dry weather that has pre-.
vailed for some months has prevent
ed the sowing Of as large an acreage
20 small grain az was generally ex-
pected. This acreage will be plant.
ed 10 cotton and probably a further
increase, at the expense Of other
food and feed crops, will be planted
90 cotton, unless heroic efforts are
made by bankers, business men and
leading farmers throughout the
state 20 prevent H.
No greater mistake, in our judy
ment, can be made by our people IN
1922 than 10 abandon the safe and
sane diversified program rs practic-
ed IN 1921 In the production II an
Independent living az home, and get
back 10 an IN cotton crop

IF BACKACHY OR
 KIDNEYS BOTHER
Eat less meat, also take glass of Salts before eating a breakfast

Uric acid in meat cxcites the kid neys, they become overworked, get sluggish, ache, and feel like Jumps of lead. The urine becomes cloudy; the bladder is irritated, and you may be obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night. When the kidneys clog you must help them Hush off the body's urinous waste or you'll be a real sick person shortly. At first you feel dull misery in the kidney region, you suffer from backache, sick headache, dizziness, stomach gets sour, tongue coated and you feel rheumatic twinges when the weather is bad.
 Eat less meat, drinks lots of water; also get from any pharmacist four ounces of lad Salts take a table, spoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This fam ous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia, and has been used for generations to clean clogged kidneys and stimulate them to normal activity. also to neutraliZe the acids in urine, so it no longer is a source of irrita- ton, thus ending bladder weakness.
 lad Salts is inexpensve, cannot in jure; makes delightful effervescent lithia- water drink which everyone should take now and then to keep the kidneys clean and active. Druggists here say they sell lots of lad Salts to folks who believe in overcoming kid ney trouble while it is only trouble.

MT.FUJI REACHED
 AFTER HARDSH|PS
British Explorers Conquer the
 Heights Of Tokio SummitS

TolSio March 2i.-Major Orde Lees, parachute expert and antarctic explorer and MT, H. Crisp, both of the British Air Mission in Japan, are the first climbers ever to reach the summit of Mount Fuii in mid winter.
 Major Orde Lees is an experienced alpinist but the performance was ren- dcred remarkable owing to the fact that MT. Crisp Is q Londoner with no former experience of mountain climb ing. ..........
 High Altitude.
 Mt. Fuji is 12,S65 feet high. The climb necessitated sleeping for two nights in hut at 4,700 feet The snow extended from the summit down to 2500 feet. The last 4000 feet be- low the summit consisted of solid ice. This portion of the climb occupied nine hours.
 The summit was reached at 2 D. m. February 12. The whole of the de- scent was made in dense fog during the night. A violent storm ragged all through the first night Including iiflS tilt flllllb anu utSCtIll OCCupleu exactly As hours. A record baro- graph was carried throughout the ex- petition.
 Not Cold on Summit.
 The climbers state that the cold at the top of the mountain at night was not severe. They had the misfortune to lose their entire equipment, cam- eras, spare clothing. thermos flasks, snow shoes and all their food through .ca ohiro'' if nt D ''oi~'t af 10.0 900 feet and being unable to find it in the fog and darkness on the way down. In spite Of going without food for twelve hours they arrived in splendid condi- ton at their starting place, Gotemba.
 No guides, coolies, horses or ve- hicles were employed other than small sedge, made from a crashed airpane, on which the climbers pull ed their equipment to the sleeping hut. Major Orde Lees and Mir. Crisp were both in the Daily Mail aeroplane when it crashed at Carlisle on flight to Scotland. Major Lees was a mem Der of the Shackleton expedition of 1914-15 in charge of motor sledges. He has made eighty-one parachute

gation invested with full powers to deal with the matter on behalf of Moslem and Christian societies in Palestine, and the Arab congress.
 The reply points out, 1t is learned from an authoritative source, that some of the provisions of the propos- cd constitution do not satisfy the na- tional aspirations and needs of the Arabs of Palestine and are based on the idea of making Palestine a Jew ish national home. This, according to Arab opinion, Is in conflict with the rights of people constituting 93 per cent. Of the population.
 The Arabs desire form of govern ment which will give them greater measure of control of their own af- fairs
 The note states that 1t Is fully req, lized that the draft proposals are not the last word of the British govern. ment, but are intended to provide tasis for discussion and therefore the door is by no means closed for a satisfactory understanding.

ELECTRICITY NOW
 IN GREAT DEMAND
Has Conquered One.1hird Of Cultivated Swedish Area

Stock holm, March 24.-Electricity has conquered third of the entire cultivated area of Sweden, according to the latest official reports.
 If Sweden continues electrifying at the present rate, it will only be a few years till almost the whole country will be run by electricity,
 Most of the farms within the cleo trified area are now tapping the new Source of energy, and nearly all the power used in the daily labor on these farms is derived from the high power lines which span whole sections of the country.
 o Large power stations deliver most of the electric energy used in the ru- ral communities; but in many places the farmers themselves have installed turbines and built private power sta tions, harnessing for this purpose swift streams and small waterfalls on their own properties. Those enter prises however, are generally coop erative.
 A great deal of the most arduous farm labor is performed by electri- Cally QTlNtu IldCuIuCIy dI d SooI lal below the cost of machines propelled by steam or horse power or of hand labor. Water is pumped for cattle by electricity, threshing machines are driven by electric current, timber is sawed by motor power, and farm hands are no longer ordered to cut firewood by hand because it is chean- CT to have even that labor done by electricity. Candles have almost dis appeared.
 Tn many cases grain is dried and cleared by being passed through cleo trically-driven hot-air flaming ma chimes. It is not uncommon to find on the larger estates electric elevators which lift entire wagon loads of hay or grain and dump them where de- sired in the barns.
 One Swedish estate owner has in stalled an electrically operated irriga- tion system whereby large field can be watered in times of drought. It is now only a matter of short time till blows and harrows will be p1o- pelled by electric power.

Speaks Highly of This Home Made
 Cough Remedy
Loosens the Mucus--Reliyces the Irritation and Stops the Cough
Costs Next to Nothing-for n Big
 Supply

Whenever anyone in my family catches cold and begins to cough and sneeze, and hawk and breathe heavy, 1t doesn't take me many minutes to fix up a remedy that will drive away all such troubles in double quick time.
 It's no secret-anyone can make n half pint of the finest cough medicine in the world for trilling sum.
 Get from any druggist one ounce of Parmint (double strength)-to this add a little granulated sugar and enough water to make one half pint that's all there Is 10 1t.
 But now you've got real medicine mind you-the first spoonful you take acts directly on the membrane of the throat and nose, the tickling ceases almost instantly--the innam- nation begins to disappear-up comes the stubborn mucus and often in 24 hours every trace of the cough that frightened you is gone
 Its really remarkable how this home made remedy acts on the mucous membrane and that is one reason it is so helpful to thousands of Catarrh sufferers.

Pile Sufferers
Can You Answer These Questions?

Gan Ou A1SWcF lHtSc SSutStlOILS.
 Do you know why ointments do not give you quick and lasting relief?
 Why cutting and operations fail?
 Do you know the cause of piles is internal?
 That there is a stagnation of blood in the lower bowel?
 Do you know that there is a harm ess remedy discovered by Dr. Leon- lardt and known as HEM-ROID, now old by The Clark and Brainerd Co., nd druggists generally, that is guar nteed.
 EM-ROID banishes piles by re- moving the cause, by freeing blood circulation in the lower bowel. This simple home treatment has an almost unbelievable record for sure, safe and lasting relief to thousands of pile sick sufferers. There is no reason why it should not do the same for you.
