Possibly it was because her virtues were exploited so much: one soon gets too much of that. But years ago I read that, as a g.rl, V ictoria was compelled to learn housekeeping, and it ga%e me a pleasurable thrill, for I believe in training of that sort.

A great medical association lately held its annual convention. The best men in the profession were attracted, And one old fellow, recognized as with out a peer in his line, bluntly told them that with all their investigation, practically nothing of value in pro longing life had been discovered in many years: that old age is the same inexorable thing it has always been. . . . With all our learning, old things finally demonstrate their .supremacy over the new. Southern agriculture cannot be profitable as it should be; and as it will be after livestock is added to bal ance the situation. Take the cotton farmer as an ev- ample. There are farms where a one sided agriculture with cotton is prof itable bat as a general thing this is not true. Labor on an all-cotton farm is loaded heavily while the crop is being made and gathered. In the interims between making and gathering and gathering and making, labor is idle except as to minor farm work. With more livestock this would not be true. Livestock requires attention every day in the year. Consequently labor is not idle several months but is producing every day of the month in the year. It is on the job continuously. And efficient use of labor is esseii- tial to maximum income from farm ing. This is true of the business man, of the bfinker, and of the professional man. Those who are employed in in dustry and in commerce, or engaged in the professions have no long idle periods, except, of course, when labor j is out of work. They work steadily all the year. Therefore, more livestock will The P.

Years of actual use also proved it equally effective for the colds of grown-ups. Today the whole trend of medical practice is away from needless “dosing” and Vicks—a household word in Amer ica—is used in more than 60 co’in- tries abroad. The ever-growing demand for Vicks is shown in its familiar slo gan, expressing the number of jars used yearly.

But no longer is the South isolated. Today it haa taken the place it deserves in the nation’s industry and commerce. Modem transportation by land, water and air carries the products of southern farms and factories to all parts of the world. An important factor in this modem era is the telephone. Whether you depend on it to carry your voice around the comer, across the continent or over the Atlantic, you will find it ready lo aerve you—speedily, efficiently, economically. This company ia ever alert to reduce telephone distance, to make larger telephone neighborhoods.

Those who do so are held in economic slavery. To state that livestock will help the soil is nothing new. It is a fact which is as old as agriculture. European farmers knew long before this coun- I try was settled that livestock impfov- j ed their land and made all farming more profitable. Livestock farming keeps plant food on the farm. It also requires pastures; and pasturing improves the land. In stead of selling plant food^the farmer fefeds it >4o 'livestock which returns ! most of it to the soil. When livestock ' j‘is maii^eted ^ soil is not robbed. ; More efficient use of land is the fourth advantage from livestock. The South has millions of acres of idle land. Much of it will never be profit able for making crops but it can be made to pay if used for pasturing. Such land is kept at a dead loss if it jis not pastured, or if timber is not I grown on it. I The farmer who has 200 acres of I land but uses only , 100 of it is like I unto the manufacturer who operates j with half of his,, plant idle, w’hich means that half of his plant invest- ! ment is not pajwng. Of course the farmer who farms this way has not I improved the land Which he is not us- ■ ing. The land which he is not using jdoes not represent hhlf of his capital stock. assure jependtible TRANSPORIATION/ (I 'll! I 'll The Chevrolet Red ^^O.K. That Counts^^ Tag Protects Your Used Car Purchase. Along wi^h the foregoing-advantag es, livestock calls for better farming in general. For example, livestock farming requires home production of feed, and home production of feed re quires more machinery for making feed at a low cost. With more power and machinery crop farming will be improved because one man can do more work; and, in doing more work, he earns more money. Throughout many Southern states there are farmers who have added j cows or other animals to cotton and j are making as much or more cotton I as they did before livestock was add- j ed. In addition, they have their live- I stock income and they have improved ! and are improving their land. 1 * Another reason for adding more livestock—dairy cows, beef cows, hogs, sheep, and poultry—to Southern farms jis the fact that consumption of live- ^ ■ stock and livestock products in the I South is increasing. This means a i better market at home. Every reconditioned car wt offer for sale is identified by means of the Chevrolet red “O.K. that Counts” tag. This tag is the purchaser’s assurance that the car to which it is attached has been gone over carefully by expert mechanics-.-that it has been thoroughly reconditioned—and that the price is based on the car’s actual ability to render service. Due to the overwhelming popularity of the new Chevrolet Six, we have on hand at this time an unusually large group of these “O.K.’d” cars. Come in!
