MR. MILLS GOES TO WASHINGTON Opposed to Fixing Price of Cotton Seed. Be lieves Farmers Should Receives Full Benefit. Hon. J. H. Mills of Jenkinsburp, State President of the Farmer Union, is in Washington this wee k conferring with Herbert Hoover, national food administrator, in re gard to the price of cotton seed. There is a large delegation in the party, Mr. Mills and Commissioner Brown being among the number from Georgia. The party left Sat urday morning and were present at the hearing Monday, Oct. 15. Mr. Mills and the other South erners take the position that the government should not interfere with cotton seed at this time, and that the law of supply and de mand should be allowed to gov ern the price. In 1915, they point out, when cotton seed were at a low ebb and the South was in the throes of bankruptcy, almost, the national government refused to help the cotton farmers. Now that seed are bringing a fancy price it is unfair, according to the contention of Mr. Mills, for the government to deprive the cotton farmers of the prosperity that is their due. The Georgia party, assisted bv delegates from other States, will make a strong fight against the regulation of the cotton seed mar ket. —Jackson Progress. The Farmer’s Day. Who wouldn’t be a farmer now? Although no crown rests on his brow, and though no scepter’s in his hand, he lord%it o’er this hun gry land. His bins and barns are running o’er, yet room there must be made for more. His bank ac count grows day by day, and not a debt is left to pay. It matters not what crops he’s grown, what grain he’s threshed or hayfields mown, whate’er he has the na tions need their lean and hungry hordes to feed. They clamor for his corn and wheat, his cotton, hay, potatoes, meat, his peanuts, syrup, velvet beans, and e’en his lowly collard greens. Whate’er he has that man can eat, though it be grain or food or meat, whate’er he’s raised that beasts can chew calls forth the coin of yellow hue. The war wiii rage, but men must eat if Huns be kept in full retreat, must eat the stuff the farmer grows in fertile fields with serried rows. For now the farmer holds the key to power to keep free nations free —to squelch the Turk and chain the Hun, and make full sure the job’s well done. The “horny handed son of toil” who digs his bread from stubborn soil has waited long to greet “his day,” but now it’s come, and come to stay. —Albany Herald. Worth Their Weight In Gold. No man can do his best when suffering from backache, rheu matic pains, swollen joints, sore muscles or other symptoms af kid ney trouble. B. H. Stone, 840 N. 2d St., Reading, Pa., writes: “I contracted a most severe case of kidney trouble. I gradually grew worse and for months was unable ty attend to business. I began to use Foley Kidney Pills and soon found the pains were gone and I have had no aches since. They have been worth their weight in gold to me.” The McDonough Drug Co. Your subscription, please. Electricity. There will be shown at practi cally every State, County and Dis trict Fair this fall a modern and simple device for producing elec tricity on the farm, and making the electricity do the work which is now more or less laboriously performed. While electric generators have been in use for some years, they have not until recently been prac tical for farm use. They have been of the old belt driven type, cooled by water, and were contin ually giving trouble because of the water having been boiled away or frozen. This new type of dynamo is in one seif contained unit with the engine; it is air cooled, and may be operated by kerosene even more readily than by gasoline. This greatly reduces the fuel cost, which, in view of the present high price of gasoline is particularly important. Their construction is so simple that they are set in mo tion by the movement of a lever, and will stop automotieally when the battery is full. Children read ily operate them, tlie only instruc tions necessary being a single demonstration. There is scarcely any kind of work that is not easily done by them. They light the home, the barn, the dairy, or any place where light is desired; and brilliant elec tric light may be had by the sim ple pressure of a button or the turning of a switch. Attached to the pump, they keep the tank fill ed with fresh water; and luxury of running water for house, barn or dairy, is enjoyed just as in the city supplied by the costly waterworks system. Current from these machines will operate the churn, the sewing machine, the corn sheller, the thresher, the cream separator, in fact any farm machinery of this sort to which it is attached. In a word, it provides the farm with the comforts and conveniences, due to electricity the same as are enjoyed in the large cities. No one should miss the oppor tunity to see these remarkable machines in operation at state and county fairs. Compared to the comfort and even luxury which they afford in the country districts where electric cuarent is unob tainable, the cost of installing them is small; and when one sees and knows that they will really do ail that is claimed for them and more, it means the installation of a plant in the home at the first opportun ity. Actual demonstrations of these Delco-Light plants will be made at practically every fair, and undoubedly it will prove one of the most attractive of all exhibits.

SHE CHOOSES A MAXWELL High Priced Cars Fail to Do as Well in Mountains Possessed of a regular fleet of high powered motor cars, Miss Charlotte Walker, a society belle of San Francisco, whose fame as a motoring tourist extends to all parts of the United States, chooses a Maxwell touring car for moun tain work in preference to the much higher priced motors. “The easy of control and sturdy power of the Maxwell are ideal for the difficult trails in the Hills,” Miss Walker says. She asserts the Maxwell takes the steep inclines in the mountains much better than any of her other possessions. She has toured over the Rockies, the Selkirks, Grand Canyon, White Mountains and vis ited nearly all the beauty spots in the United States and Canada. Motoring to inaccessible places is a much stronger hobby with Miss Walker than the usual society di versions to most young women. She is now planning several very difficult trips for the early fall season. For Sale —one two-horse Mitch ell wagon. See B. L. Harper or C. W. Walker. It Helps! There can be no doubt as to the merit of Cardui, the woman’s tonic, in the treatment t>f many troubles peculiar to women. The thousands of women who have been helped by Cardui in the past 40 years, is conclu sive proof that it is a good medicine for women who suffer. It should help you, too.
