t* " not Luck!
SUCCESSFUL farmers don't trust to luck. Their success
in getting money-making crops is due to the fact that, year
after year, they us# plenty of Chilean Nitrate of Soda.
Check back on the beat cotton crops in your neighbor*
hood... inquire about tests made by the Experiment Station,
or other field demonstrations. Remember the cotton champions
of '25 and '26. Was it just chmrtca that the best results
always came where Nitrate of Soda Was used?
It was Sodm, not luck, that gave these outstanding results.
Cotton High?Soda Iafw!
There is no substitute for Nitrate of Soda. It is the nitrogen
that meets every cotton requirement. It absolutely beats
the weevil. It has no acid effect on your soil . .. won't burn
your hands or clothes.
Last season many cotton growers waited too long to buy
their Soda and were forced to go without. This year, with
cotton high and Nitrate of Soda lower than it has been for
years, wise farmers are ordering their Soda now to make sure.
There is plenty of Nitrate of Soda to be had at favorable
prices . . . but we urge you to make the most of your
present advantage by placing your order immediately.

Vital Statistics.
Somebody said the South was busted,
and maybe she is now, but 1 went
to a football game not long ago, and
there were 14 thousand people there
counting myself only once, and it cost
2 dollars per head to see th4 teums
clash, and that made us spend 28
thousand dollars, and there were 4
thousand automobiles there, and they
"stood" us 6 hundred thousand dollars,
not counting the balance due on
8,999 of them, and the girls chewed at
least 2 thousand dollars worth of gum
while the scramble was being scrambled,
and there were 6,463 powder puffs
and the same number of lipsticks on
hand that averaged 50 cents each.
(There sab 1 woman present that had
gone of theM shenanegan articles a*
rong, but she ilas over 86 years old.)
The young man that owes me 12 dollars
for coal furnished him in 1926
was there with his girl and her
mother. There were also 9,676 men
present that had not paid their 1925
taxes, but this includes me and you
both. No, wp are not busted: we
simply are not using our money at
this time to pay our debts. That's all.
Where is My Wandering Boy
Tonight.
The chief statistician of Wild Hog
says that 50 per cent of the automo- j
bile wrecks nowadays are caused by
short dresses, and 40 per cent by
booze, and 30 per cent by hugging
with 2 arms instead of 1, and 20 per
cent by speeding, and 10 per cent by
trying to pass somebody elso who is
already driving too fast, and the
j balance of the catastrophes are
brought About, by pure cuftfednei&juid
carelessness. He forgot blowout*
end chewing gum*. (P. S. My wandering
boy is somewhere with your
wandering girl tonight, if you must
| know),

The man who owes my grocer W
dollar* for groceries bought last
spring is spending the winter in Florida,
being accompanied by hiil wifeand
6 children. Ain't it funny how
a fellow can spludge on unpaid bills?
Skinnein Quick invented what he
called an "Automatic Auto" and got
it all rigged up with wires and bat- t
teries and cells and coils and fu*?* .
and buttons and ohms and kilowats :
and meters and galvanic tul>es. He
and his family went to ride last Sunday
in this "wonder" and little Susie
Quick pressed a button somewhere ]
near the rear seat, and the engine
stopped, the brakes flew on, the
doors hopped open, the windshield
wiper began to wipe, the cap jumped
off the gasoline tank, the water
squirted out of the radiator, the steer-,
ing wheel fell off, the 4 tires went
down, and the horn blew "taps."
Skinnein has not yet received his
patent for this vehicle.
I asked a high school teacher the
other day if she had any morons in
her classes. She replied?"No, I
don't think so. it seems that all my
pupils are Baptists, Methodist, and
Presbyterians."
Business is so dull in a certain
Western North Carolina town?a tree
blew across Main street in front of
the court last Tuesday and it was not
discovered till Sabbath morning, and
then Bro. Smith ran into it on his
way to church.

deer mr. editor:?
i notised a piece on yore resent
paper wich sed the coining legislature
had plans ansoforth to exzempt
furrin copperations from paying anny
taxes for 6 yr. or sd, and i am riting
to inform them that i will allso move
my stoar from here to there if they
Nvill leave off my taxes, i am not
exactly a furrin -copperation, but it
will be a big help to have a good
merchant like me in yore mist. I allso
sell beef and deel in cows generali
ly, so they can leave that lisents off
too, as my cattel will no doubt be
bought in georgia. if you all won't
do*this i will hafter move to a town
where i will be furring capital, rite
or foam as soon as you can get my
agreement threw, it shore don't pay
to be home folks no more.
Yores trulie,
mike Clark, rfd.
The proposed tax reduction now
being discussed by Secretary Mellon
will prove a big help to 3 farmers in
the south, and possibly 5 laborers in
the United States, and mebbe 9 or
10 other individuals. The tax burden
is not a National Burden as concerns
99 per cent of the common people:
our tax troubles are "homo
affairs." The Treasury Department
could cut taxes 5 billion dollars, and
not an acre land, or a mule, or a
cow, or an automobile, or a stock of
merchandise, or a store-room would
be taxed a single penny less by such
an action. When Uncie Sam slices off
a few slices it helps only rich folks,
(and 1 ain't no Bolshevie when I say
so), hut the point I am making is
this: the taxes we all kick about
are those same taxes that you and 1
and your brother Bill voted on ourselves
for good roads and fine (?)
schools and bootlegger protection,
and we'd raise sand without these socalled
luxuries.

.Modest Governor.
T nomas Chittenden, Vermont's
first governor, was chopping wood for
his fireplaces one day in the yard beside
his home. A pompous stranger
rode up on horseback and ordered the
humble wood chopper to hold his horse
while he went in to see the governor.
Thomas Chittenden held the horse,
and the pompous stranger went to the
house only to return a few moments
later.
"Why," tradition says he demanded,
"didn't you ell me the governor was
out ?"
"He is," said the wood chopper. "I
am Thomas Chittenden."
