Western North and South Dakota
AND much of Montana, are greatly in
,.sd of large yield of spring wheat
~, season to recompense them for
,.vsral successive crop failures in the
Inst few years
Within the last two weeks there have
b,en general rains throughout the
.oyn belt in the West and the Central
West. They came in the nick Of time,
for corn was beginning to curl and
vither in some states. Pastures and
meadows were dry, and the tobacco
sections of Tennessee and Kentucky
were in parlous state. Things are
different now, and very much better.
There is the promise also of that
necessary accompaniment of agricul-
ture prosperity, an abundance of feed
and forage for livestock.
Cotton Improved
Clear skies and very hot weather in
the latter part of June brought much
Improvement 10 cotton in Arkansas, in
portions of Texas, Oklahoma and
Georgia, and in much Of the Central
South. Boil weevils continue to null
tipy in vast bordes, and stories of
serions damage come from some sec
tions. Continued high prices of cotton
tell the story OF the general thought
as to the seriousness of the situation.
1t is a seriousness which is not dis
pelled BY those interesting fctions
mown as "private estimates" and
which gravely forecast encouraging
yields from the kaleidoscope condition
Of the times which change from day
10 day and from week to week In the
South, especially in the cotton belt,
general business still waits upon the
determination of the crops. Yet there
are numerous localities where business
is brisk and collections good because
Of heavy marketing of garden truck
and fruit
Some Of these fortunate sections are
around Charleston, s. c.; in eastern
North Carolina, around Norfolk, Va;
in southern Georgia, where peaches
and watermelons are going northward
weekly in hundreds of carloads, and in
southwestern Mississippi, which ex-
pects to ship Pr 10 cars of tomatoes
his season. sorac of them all the way
70 Montreal.
Building and construction are
qreading to the agricultural sections
g The harvest progresses. Prices of
balldng material are frmer as re
suit of the growing demand.
In the early part of June the lumber
business had a brief breathing spell of
comparative quietude, but it has its
second wind now and is overrun with
orders, with the full conviction that
this condition will be more and more
accentuated as the summer lengthens
and fall comes on.
In the past. building activity has
always been the last industry to be
affected by good times, because it took
some space of prosperous going to &C
eumulate the profits needed for invest
ment in construction. Likewise. it was
the last enterprise TO be slowed down
by the pinch of hard times. since

simple explanation of this July
marxet and one that because of the in
definite terms in which it is expressed
cannot finally be gainsaid is that the
effects of the reinvestment demand
traditional to this season of the year
are its foundation. There is great
variance of opinion as to the extent of
this demand, but general agreement
that in some measure it is factor 1t
arises from the fact that disbu rse-
ments of interest and dividends on
July ] are heavier than upon any other
date of the year excepting January /,
when the distribution is increased by
the inclusion of annual bonuses, prof
its and other funds incidental to the
year-end settlements. Recipients, of
these disbursem ents have in the ag-
gregate more money to reinvest than
normally, and much of it flows into
the bond market.
For many reasons, however, the re-
investment demand no longer serves
as an adequate explanation. When
bonds were bought in large blocks by
men of wealth, when they were more
uniformly dated from January | or
July than is the case to- day, and be-
fore Federal taxation became so heavy
as strongly to influence the character
of purchases. the reinvestment demand
in January and July was important
The bond market of 1922 is funda-
mentally different from that of five
years ago; the small investor is it's
main support and the purchases of
large investors are still limited in the
ma jority of instances to issues enjoy
ing tax exemption,

sOUR ECONOMIC AGENT
PUTS LAFAYETTE COUNTY
ON THE MAP OF FAME

At the State Fair at Jackson last
week, in competition with eighty-two
Counties, Lafayette County captured
more than fifty prizes in Home Eco
nomic work. This speaks volumes for
the efficiency of Miss Doney and the
young people in her Department. Is
here taxpayer in the County who
does not feel a pride in the work of
these young people, or who begrudges
the small amount he pays to carry on
the work? If there is one so selfish
that he would abolish this work to
save the little mite he contributes to
it, l feel sure he is ASHAMED to let it
be known.
If we could have had an efficient
County Director carrying on the work
in this line, among the boys of the
County, what sort of showing would
Lafayette County have made? To
say nothing of the thousands of dol
lars. which might have been added to
the earning power of our people.

During the first seven months OF
this year 3,584,0OO bottles of Tanlac
have been sold and new world re-
cord for proprietary medicine estab-
lished.
Tanlac's widespread and ever in
creasing popularity is the strongest
possible proof of its unquestioned
merit. No product, no matter how
extensively advertised, could continue
to establish world records for sales
year after year if it did not produce
actual and positive results.
Tanlac is composed of the most ben
efcial roots, herbs and banks known
to medical science. The formula is
ethical and conforms to all pure food
and drug laws, and although Tanlac's
superiority is abundantly supported
by leading authorities it is the people
themselves who have made Tanlac
what it is. Millions upon millions
have used it and have told other mil
lions what it has done, while thous-
ands of the best people in every COM
munity have given public statements
of great benefits they have received
by taking it.
Tanlac is sold by all good druggists.

A WAR RECORD.

One of the many things in ever
war is to keep every man in the best
of physical condition. This can only
be done by prevention if possible and
immediate cure if disease is con-
tracted.
A large percent of the soldiers,
while cover Seas, contracted that
well known skin maledy "Itch." One
of them has the following to say
about a famous itch remedy. II want
you to know just what / think Of

Mr.. Shelby Woodward, of Louisville,

medicines, which did no good. One
day heard about this Spiva's one day

according to directions and was well
within a day or two, all the bumps
were gone within a week."
"While was in the army several
of my friends got this disease and |
wrote for box so they could try It
and it was such success that re-
ordered several times and it never
failed in single case. This. remedy

It Is unfortunate for the children
when q parent Is partial, and jusl
as bad for the favored child as, the

becomes spoiled and the other suf
