OAT CLUB FOR OLD MEN
ORGANIZED IN BUTTS
Editor Progress:—There has
been a lot said and written about
the Boys Corn club and it is a
mighty good thing, too. But the
boy has a father at home who has
taught him in a large measure
what he knows about the rudi
ments of agricultural education,
let this instruction be accredited
to him to whom it rightfully be
longs.- Since the organization of
the Boys Corn club, however,
even such gallant heroes as Uncle
Next Brownlee, Jimmie Ball and
Jim Ray and others have been
made to see wherein their meth
ods have been lacking in some of
the essentials of successful corn
raising. Now isn’t this true?
Was there not less corn bought
in Butts county this year than in
many, many years? The bov has
put father to thinking. Now for
father:
Well, here is what I am going
to say. I desire to organize a
Fathers Oat club—a boy can en
jter it if he desires, at the risk of
being snowed under. But the of
ficers of this club shall be men
of many winters. The purpose of
It will to stimulate oat growing
and furnish father in his declin
ing years some food for thought
—something that will cause a
friendly rivalry and convert irk
some work into childish play.
Let the conditions be that ev
ery member of the club agree to
donate to the one making the lar
gest yield on one acre, one bush
el of oats. This will probably be
divided among the first three suc
cessful winners.
The following names represent
the members who have already
joined and I want at least a hun
dred members. I have some val
uable literature just issued by
the government on oat growing
which I shall be glad to mail any
one requesting it. Drop me a
card and state you will enlist in
Fathers Oat club. Hurrah for
father!
The members are: S. K. Smith,
C. B. Higgins, R. W. Mayfield,
A. C. Millen, N. K. Vickers, T.
G. Preston.
H. L. Worsham,
Cos. Farm Demonstrator.
Calomel May
Hurt Your Liver
Every time you take this pow
erful drug you are in danger.
Take Dodson’s Liver Tone in
stead. Calomel is made from
mercury, and while mercuy has
many valuable uses, it is a dan
gerous thing to swallow. If cal
omel stays in the system very
long it salivates. Even when it
works naturally, its after-effects
are often bad.
Slaton Drug Cos. will sell you
Dodson’s Liver Tone which is
positively guaranteed to take the
place of calomel. Liver Tone
stimulates the liver just enough
to start it to working, and does
not make you sicker than ever —
as calomel often does. You feel
good after taking Dodson’s and
it wont force you to stop eating
or working after taking it. It is
as beneficial for children as for
adults.
Try a large bottle for fifty
cents under the guarantee that
your money will be given back
cheerfully if you’re not satisfied,
