Not Put
 Bed Against The Wall
HID you ever stop to think that
 Ny your nights rest depends large

IND, you ever stop to think that NJ your nights rest depends large
 ly upon the position of your bed !?
 A bed should not stand against a wall. If it is an outside wall the req son is obvious, but not only is this possible dampness injurious to health, but if you lie close to and facing the wall there is not sufficient spaces for proper respiration ad ssou are apt to inhale your own exhafations.
 If you always have a headache when you arise in the morning swing your bed into the centre of the room. Such cases of headache have been cured by this simple precaution.
 Physicians and scientists advise that we sleep with our heads toward the North Pole and this position is espe- cially recommended to persons afflict- ed with rheumatism. Where it is. im- possible to place the bed in this po sition it is suggested that the head of the bed be toward the east.

PROVES
PROFITABLE
For Farmers Living North Of
MaSOn-DixOn Line
BY George Britt
NEA Service Writer

Cairo, Ill.,, June l6--lf Uncle
Toms Eliza, hot footing it across
the Ohio River to freedom. had
stumbled into a cotton field on the
far shore, she probably would have
bewailed her fate at being still be-
low the Mason-Dixon line.
Times have changed since ELIAS
day. ode land OBJ cotton Is no
longer exclusively in the south.
Right here at the tip end of the
Egypt" section of the Yankee state
of Illinois, in the counties of Pu.
laski, Alexander, Massac, Union and
Johnson, farmers are busy today
planting and cutivating cotton. In
terest is tremendously keen in the
new crop, and there is enthusiastic
belief in its possibilities.
Test Successful
AS an experiment last year be-
tween 1900 and 1000 acres of cotton
were grown. 1t was the first time
in more than fifty years, according
to the oldest inhabitants. The crop
proved a success, and this year there
is prospect of planting more than
10000 acres.
Overtures have been made to join
the cotton growers associations of
Tennessee or Missouri. The Illinois
Agricultural Association is back of
the movement and the crop promises
to become Il staple.
Four factors go to make southern
Illinois favorable to cotton produc-
oh Of fh,i
dread boil weevil, which hasn't
spread this far north. Then there Is
contentcd labor, exceptional trans
pCrtation on both Ohio and Missis-
sippi Rivers and radiating railroads,
and favorable climate.
Good Climate
Cairo is only forty miles north ~
the Tennessee line, and weather bu-
eau records show it's climate Is a.
warm as at points even IN the state
of Mississippi, in the thick of the
cotton belt. The average for fifty
two years put the last killing frost
ir the spring at March 30 and the
first in the fall on October 20. This
makes an average growing season Of
seven months.
With such climate, with fertile
river bottom soil and need for an
other crop to rotate with wheat, corr
and clover, it is not surprising tina
the turn should be made TOWARD
cotton. Encouraging the farmers t.
MIKE such a choice is the fact q
cctton's high price. Figures indi
cate it is relatively the most profit
able crop produced by the American
farmer today.
