here, but it is mighty hard to tell
it from the country, AS the scholl
house sets buck from the road, and

taken, and,/-i am glad to tell you
about my friends.

her twin sister, miss sallie veeve
smith, are our teachers and evcrboddy

for hope. they are both colledge
gradurates,
2..dr. early rizer is our only docS
tor, and his wife is- named mrs.
rizer, and she's his sccont one. dr.
rizer started out to be a cow ropperdist,

Dear Gee McGee:
I have been reading your NOBODY'S
BUSINESS for several
years, and must say that Mike some
of it. I have discovered that you
can be serious occasionally., if you
try. According to reports, you are n
business man, so please tell _us w^cn
you think business conditions will
he bct&'r.
Yours for the low-down,
Harbin K. Green.
Dear Mr. Green:
everybody but mc lula propVu
sied when good times will return it
might not bo out of place to take
a try at it and thus carry out your
reque-t. here goes.
1. W'hon cotton goes to 12 cents
or higher..s>. that the cotton farmn
y,-p his product at a profit.
..time- will be bettor up North..as
the Ml grower will have some
money to spiral to help put indu-try
hack work.
2. .Conditions will be better in the
South wlu-n the western wheat grow,.r
ls pa 3 a dollar a bushel for his
wheat .so that he may have some
money with which to buy cotton |
goods and thus keep the cotton mills
running on full time..and then cotton
null labor will have plenty mon-|
oy to spend for bread.
3 Hard-times w.U vamoo-e up

pav a r.asonable price for raw material-,
to sell back to the producer
at a profit when manufactured .am
by >o 3ring. keep tnrr and.
-hops running. la>w prices wi. r*nn

scourge.
1. .The bonus "didn't help much.
Building programs ke.-p mach.nery j
busy and permits men to remain id.e. j
Farm relief don't relieve. .Government.
a.J aids the government when
they get interest for it. A nice,
long drought, or a nationwide crop
pest to reduce production might help
. .but the use of a r.ttie grey-matter
by the masses would be worthwhile.
We've got to consume twice as much
as we produce for 3 years and then
things will hum.
Yours for the humming,
Geo McGee.

Sir Robert Baden-Powell, founder
of the Boy Scout movement over tho
world, recommends to tho scouts
that they whistle instead of smoking.
He says that whistling satisfies him
as a substitute for his. pipe. "It
gives satisfaction to me and annoyance
to almost everyone else, much
as a pipe," he observes.
Real charity is providing work at
living wages.

IT IS NOT the cost of the gift, but the
thought that lies brhiml the giving that
warms the cockles of the heart on
Christinas morning.
Then, instead of some short-lived trinket,
fiow nuieli nicer to give something that
will bring solace and delight for many days
after the Christmas tree is gone; until the
New N ear is on its wav.
For the cigarette smoker, man or woman,
of course give Camels. A blend of choice
Turkish and mild, sun-ripened Domestic
tobaccos, thev are kept fresh and prime
bv the Camel Humidor Pack, with their
natural moisture unimpaired by parching
or toasting.
In appropriate holiday wrapping,Camels v
come both in attractive Christmas cartons
containing ten packages of twenty and in
cartons containing four boxes of fifty each.
For the man who smokes a pipe, we
suggest either a pound tin or one of
those crystal glass hunmTors of good old
PRINCf ALBERT. Here i- a present that j^oes
straight as a Christina- carol lo a mans
heart; P. A., the best loved pipe tobacco
in the world, all dressed for the occasion
in bright Christmas costume.
What gift can you think of that will be
more welcome or give more genuine
pleasure and satisfaction?
Don't you hope someone will think of
such a friendly gift for you?
We wish you Merry Christinas /
