It is evident, of course, that this state adeing alone in such an undertaking covrid accomplish nothing. It would b(?Sveil for the farmers id realize that the movement is widespread over the entire cotton belt, and that it is gath- er^pg such a.rength as to make it irri- siStiblc. A strong central conuuittet formed in Columbia is closely coope rating with, similar bodies hi ail the coMon growing states. It {a not only the farmers who are concerned. The bt&lness interests of the South are vitally affected, and should work un ceasingly in carrying home to the fatuier the absolute necessity of sign ing.the pledge to reduce, and what i - nujfe to the point, the necessity ol .abiding by iiis pledge. The opportun- Uy .is presented notv as never before for the South to get from under corn martial bondage. + * ♦ THAT FLU STUFF ♦ * + ♦ * + + * + ♦* + ♦* + ♦♦*« If you have a tummy ache, It’s the Flu!
