PICK COTTON QUICKLY And Kell lt Slowly-Advice Whereby You Can Save 40 l*er Cent. (Progressive Fanner.) Here's the slogan and shibboleth j we would suggest to cotton farmers now - Pick Cotton Quickly and Sell lt Slowly. In the matter of picking 1 the Importance of promptness-the utmost promptness was very ef fectively summed up by a former State demonstration agent who re cently declared: "From careful observation we are certain that under average; condi- ' lions a field that will turn out ten l>ales of cotton If picked in Septem ber and October, will hardly make more than eight bales if left in the field until December or January. Then the reduced price ?lue to poor j grades will probably result in fur- 1 thor loss to the value of two more bales. In other words, the man who. ? inst? ad of picking his cotton as it opens, leaves it in the fields until late fall or et rly winter, suffers an average loss of around 40 per cent of its total value." The utter wastefulness of many of ( our folks in this respect is almost sickening. Men. women and ch il- \ dren will work through the holiest ! days of summer to kee]) the cotton : cultivated and free from grass, andi then throw away their profits by failure to pick promptly when the gentler warmth of autumn makes it a joy to be outdoors. The fanner's profits are none too large when he gets the biggest prices the market offers. Let him not throw awa> by careless and de layed picking any hard-earned dol lars SO much needed by bis wife and children. Let's pick the cotton j quickly. And then let's sell it slowly. 1. Authorities point out I ho great depression every season from "dis tress" cotton and Hooded markets: prices advancing Inter, as was the case last season. Millions of bales rushed on the early market were sohl at (i and 7 cents Ia?I fall, but it was 10 cents before planting ended. What then ought a 12.000,000-bale crop to be bringing by lilli, planting time? 2. Warehousing is the key to suc cess here, and a State warehouse sys tem is needed In every State. No tice Mr. MeLaurln's report that far mers can borrow Sn per cent of the value of the cotton stored in the South Carolina warehouses And notice Mr. Hardings report thal the government will stand behind the banks In financing the crop. .''.. Warehouses are also needed to prevent the weather-damage to bales left out in the open after they a-re ginned-a loss which is estimated a* $25,000,000 a year to Texas farmers alone. This is shameful. 1. Notice also that the Arkansas Farmers' Union is helping farmers grade their cotton and sell both cot ton and cotton seed in pools -work farmers in every county should or ganize and do for themselves. \Yh not In ^i oru county? lt's easy enough to blame England and Hie government and everybody else a thousand miles away, but the first thing to do is to get right In our own cotton patch hy having the cotton picked quickly; then take in the neighborhood by getting neighbors to hold, grade, warehouse and sell together; then reach the market town by having a committee interview the bankers there and get 'hem right, and then luke in the whole state by demanding a state warehouse system. Pick quickly and sdi slow ly and | the twelve-cent battle will he won! RV KR SALIVATED HY CALOMEL ? HOKHIBLE. ('aloin? I is (Quicksilver and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Calomel loses you a day!

BIG KISS. IA>SSKS RKPORTKR. Ilerlln Claims 1,100,000 Have Reen Captured-300,000 .Missing. Berlin, Sept. 1.-An official review | of tlio east ion campaign given out here to-day by the Overseas News Agency estimates that since May 2 Hie Russians have lost at least 300, 000 men in killed or wounded, and 1,10 0,000 mon captured hy the Ger mans. Tile announcement is as follows: "General army headquarters pub lishes a review of the results of of fensive movements in Roland Russia since May 2, lieg i niling with the hat tie at Goilice, tin headquarters esti mates the strength of the Russian troops which were then directly en gaged in that direction was about l, 400,000. in the fighting since May li 1,1 on.non have hoon captured and a minimum of 300,000 wounded or killed. This is a very conservative estimate. The actual figures are suieiy much higher, because tho Rus sians saved artillery by recklessly sacrificing their infantry. Thus it is evident that annies which were first attacked at the beginning of the Austro-Germ?n offensive movement have been annihiliated and their losses mailc- up by withdrawing troops from oilier regions especially forces which were ready to Invade Turkey. "Garrisons of half-drilled men were hurriedly transported to the front from interior fortresses. All efforts of the Russians were fruitless, however. They were driven out of Galicia, Poland, Courland and Lithu ania. They were rolled backward in two sep?rale groups. Two fortresses, among them four large and modern ones, which formed the Russian inner lines of defense, are in the bands ol' the Germans and Austrians. This is the result of a campaign of less than four months." To Drive Out Malaria And Build Up The System Take the Old Standard GROVE'S TASTELESS chill TONIC.
