No wonder, about 95 pe r cent cf our adults and semi-adults are either chawing and spitting or puffing and blowing, or dipping and slobbering the nasty weed. Why, the manufac turers could "Jesse James” the whole crop and still kee.p on boosting thei r prices. It’< the habit that counts •^plus advertising. Adam’s apple. Just imagine how wonderful it would be to have your own private cot, and a cell-mate no better pr worse than you are, clean linen every Sat urday night, cU&n clothes occasion ally, running water, electric lights, meals at Regular hours, and plenty of well-cooked food that you don’t have to pay for.

Tub and shower baths, plus soap and towels, are free and expected, and just think of tt—no community ser vice or foreign mission drives are ever put on in jail.

Tn addition to large, grain acreages, there wer* ^ planted on those farms this year about 50 acres of tomatoes, 50 of beans, 60 of Irish potatoes, 100 of hay crops and 40 of cabbages. "We use to advance $150 to $200 a year per cropper to share tenants,” says Mr. McGregor. “The total of advances to 38 tenants this year was between $500 and $1,000, and about one-half of them paid out, with crops already marketed, before mid-sum mer. All will have enough corn and meat to do them. All have poultry apd maintain all-year gardens' and most «f them have milk cows.” • The new kind of farming has proved profitable for him and thorf e he rep resents as well as for tenants, de clare* ..Mr McGregor.- Profits have lapse, say* he, but there has been no falling behind.

The farm board will sell Germany 1,350,000 bales on credit, and that would a good thing, laid end to end. It is still pos sible to make a big crop,, regardless of the moratorium, but the govera- ment’s estimat e seems to be satisfac r tory to all parties concerned except the long*. which alone, says Mr. Knotts,' would have made the operation profitable. Whin you feel that you are down Mr. Knotts has thus^disposed of f*^d and out, and realize that you r credi- nearly every year during a decade tor* are yearning for your goat, and and always has found the operation what your wife says rasps upon your profitable. He ha s been equally suc- nerves, and you decide that cotton | cessful with hogs, having marketed j won’t fetch over 3 cents thi g fall, | don’t shoot yourslf—ju*t tak a dose of liver medicine, that’s all.* My wife had a birthday—not long ago. She always insinuates that one is on its way about two weeks befoie it arrives. I never fail to remember her in a big way. She dearly loves jewelry. Just to prove to her that I still love heri I went down town and bought her the pret tiest string cf beads—that Wool- worth had. Some of our garages have cut their prices. Up till last year, it coat $2.50 to have your jigger -fixed, now you can get that same jigger fix ed foy $2.50. Grinding valves is $4. Last year it was $4. Adjusting car bureter now costs only $1. Two years ago, they charged you a* much as fl for the same thing. Over-hauling | motor today is only $25 and up. During the war, you had to pay $25 and up to have the same work done. Railroads, telephones, hospitals, poli ticians, tax-gatherers, electric power companies ,and a few other “favored’ industries have cut thei r rate 3 and fees in a like manner. 1 have come to the conclusion that as soon as w e can emerge from our big mergers by unmerging —and stop discharging men and women because we think we can pos sibly make an extra nickel by doing so, we will have better times. How i an a guy have anything to spend if hi 3 employer turns hHi off? as many as 450 in a year. He -till grows cotton and is going in for as paragus. “If we will adi’.pt our habits and our labor to it, cattle feed ing is capable of revolutionizing farming in this section,” Mr. Kotts declares. Our Prices on Job Printing Are The Lowest in Years n Ranged Dairy Ccuvs Pay. While having a fenced pasure on their .500racre place, Laurie C. and J. C. Fowke, son and father, find it well to range their dairy cows in the Western manner much of th e time. They have a big herd of mostly pure bred Jerseys and do no farming that doesn’t tie in with dairying, which they turned te gradually. By tanging them, their eows get much grazing off idle land adjacent their own. The Fowkes operate on an old cot ton farm about 13 mites from Allen dale and 10 , miles fron^ - Barnwell. milk in both places. Their place is off main roads. Milking 25 to 30 cows and growing about half the feed given them, their earnings above operating cost s average around $165 a month, they state. If you haven’t, bought any Job Printing lately, you will be surpris ed at the very low price 3 that we are quoting. And in spi(e of the reduc- POWER COMPANY BUILDS STATION AT DENMARK Thank Ycu.

Of course—you would want to be turned loose as soon as the present type of prosperity end ed, but you’d enjoy all jail-peniten tiary comfort s till then. Nearly everybody .is trying to sell everybody else something. The streets are full of venders. Agents are so thick that they are mistaken frequently for mobs.
