CLAIM 20.2 PER CENT COTTOX REDUCTION'. New Orleans, May 16?Pointing out that the South never again will raise as large a cotton crop as in the I past because of what were termed "successful efforts towards an acreage reduction" the crop report com^^^jnittee of the newly formed American Cotton Association made public its findings at a meeting here today of members. Lack of potash, the detrimental effect of certain domestic fertilizers, 1 bad weather conditions and the pros| pects of a heavy toll to be taken by L the boll weevil, are chief points com& mented on by the report, the reduces tion percentage for the entire Southem belt being placed at 20.2 per ?H cent. Stating that tne report was ori-iJi9n^&ally prepared for the Southern CotjWMjMn Association, a temporary organiH Hoii, and that the estimates on reflSgsltions were obtained through the wWlk of "an army of agents employnp In every State of the cotton belt."

' Counties which have made no provision to use Federal Aid in constructing roads or bridges cannot under the Federal law share in the distribution of trucks from the Federal Bureau of Public Roads. These trucks are part of the surplus war equipment built by Uncle Sam for use in whipping the Huns. An act of the last congress instructed the Secretary of War to turn over to the Secretary of Agriculture for distribution to the State I^Highway Commissions, tlirough the Federal Bureau of Public Roads, all surplus war equipment, including trucks. It is expected that South Carolina will get a good deal more road building equipment and supplies besides the 2!t6 trucks which have been given tD it. NOTICE.

Mrs. Dolly McKenzie, Dillon, says: "My kidneys started to bother me and g I had an awful lot of trouble with them some four or five years ago. My J back ached like it was broken and _ ll was so weak and lame I could hard- j bendly over. Those awful pains in 'my back seemed to sap all my vitali-lt i ty and energy, causing me to become L so weak that I could hardly get ^ around. My kidneys acted irregularity, too, and were very annoying, i A also had dizzy spells. As one of my family had used Doan's Kidney ' Pills with good results I began to use ^ them and they soon helped me.

Which indicates that a smoker's enjoyment depends as much upon the flavoring used as upon the tobacco, o: Your nose is a sure guide in the mat- ^ ter of flavorings. Try this simple test with several tobacco brands: pour some p tobacco into your palm, rub briskly, ^ I and smell. You will notice a distinct i-; difference in the fragrance cf every a brand. The tobacco that smells best to : you will smoke best in your pipe, you a ' can rest assured. * ; I) Carefully aged, old Eurlev tobacco, ;Q plus a dash of pure chocolate, gives ; TUXEDO Tobacco a pure fragrance ; your nose can quickly distinguish from ! any other tobacco.
