In the first place It is wrong, both on aeCountt of the effort to dcceive and its damage to the ow ners of the gii propelrties. As a means of ia-'piig ,>ul up tli, pric of cotton, it is valueless and even harmful. The ginning figures are taken as an index of the crop. If an effort is made to deceive the world as to the size of the crop, the natural conclusion will he that the crop is larger than we wish it to he known. When law le~sa 's , Is resin ted to in order 'to hide t-he size of the cr-op, it is taken as a sign of f'relzy. The cool and calculatin ; spec'ulator takes ad vent age of a f'enzied Iiarket to reap his profit.

HIELPIN( TI!

But, holding cotton for a .iig her Price may not be the succe.ss it has been ill the past. A new sitation confronts the cotton grower.

C., tells how Ziron helped him: "I was nervous, and my limbs seemed to ache as though I was scared--or some such feeling, I can hardly describe it. I would have weak "trembles." I was sallow, had a draggy, worn feeling; didn't rest well at night. I read of Ziron and thought if it had helped others it might do the same for me. I knew I could at least try it. I began using The Scientific Iron 2Tonic and veiny shortly I felt better, ate and slept more, and thme w.eak, nervous feeling gradually left me. It was a tonic-.a builder-I needed, and Ziron seted to hit the spot." If Mr. Moore had not beena benefited by the first bottle of Ziron he *took, he could have gotten his~ money back, for Ziron is sold by reliable druggists everywvhere on a money-back guarantee. Insist upon Ziron Iron Tonic. When you need Ziron, there's nioth ing ese as good, so refuse imitationls and substitutes. Ask your druggist for Ziron. Actcept no substitutes.
