Mr. Farmer and Business Man.
When a business man owns a house or
a store or a stock of goods, what does
he do to protect himself? Does he
carry all the risk of loss himself? No.
If he is a wise business man he pays
what they call a premium fee to some
insurance company and puts an insur
ance policy on his property or his busi
ness, so that in case of loss he has
something to fall back on.
Is not that a pretty safe rule to fol
low? If so, whv not follow it in farm
ing? What is the present situation?
No one knows what the price of cotton
will be next spring or next fall. There
is no use in (dunging in on an uncer
tainty. No one knows what will hap
pen to the market if the war continues,
or if it closes. It is not safe to gam
ble or take chances on the future price
of cotton.
Then, why not. put an insurance pol
icy on your farming business and have
something to fall hack on in case of
loss in the cotton market? Here is the
insurance policy I urn talking about,
and all it will cost iH a part of your
land, some labor, tools, a little fertili
ser, and some seed—
1 A home garden for every family,
to provide vegetables ns near as possi
ble the year round, and an additional
plot of ground for potatoes, either
Irish or sweet, or both. liaise sor
ghum or cane enough for syrup for the
family.
2. Produce the corn necessary to sup
port the family and the live stock on
the farm for a year with absolute cer
tainty.
I!. Produce the necessary oats or
other small grain to supplement the
corn as food and for winter grazing.
•1. Produce enough hay and forage to
supply all your live stock for a year.
In doing so don't forget the legumes,
because they produce hay and also en
rich the soil.
f>. Produce enough chickens and hogs
to supply meat for the fumily. In-
cri use your other live stock gradually,
but insure your meat supply with these.
In other words, produce your living
first. That is the best insurance. Dur
ing the past year you were advised by
practically all the agricultural forces in
the country to provide these tilings as
an emergency. When conditions in the
world market are na uncertain as they
are at present, why not insure against
absolute loss by putting this policy into
effect?
Safe farming consists in making the
farm bidf-suHtuiuing — whether the
cash crop fails or not, and whether the
market fails or not.
To put an insurance policy on your
business for the year, to protect you
against uncertainties and risks that
you ought not to try to carry your
selves, means to produce a living on
the farm in the form of things to eat,
bo as to be independent of the market
and be protected against disaster.
Mr. Business Man, is not this a safer
and Burer plan than to risk all on the
price of cotton? Is it not better for you
and better for the far-mer?
Farmers, having done as well as you
have under the stress of the past year,
and brought the South thus far on the
road to self-sustaining agriculture and
independence, are you going to let the
old temptation to risk all on the price
of cotton persuade you to do an unsafe
thing? Think before you act.
Business men, don’t let yourselves be
the cause of disaster by fixing your
credit on cotton. Give credit upon the
farmer's efforts to support himself
upon the land. Provide a cash market
for his surplus food and feed crops and
live stock. You will get what is com
ing to you if you will only help him to
"Play Safe" by planting to insure
against loss by doing safe farming.

When a fellow endeavors to pull
down the town in which he lives, he is
operating against his own interests,
ami when tie engages in the work of
construction is building up his interests
and those of his neighbors. He should
banish the idea that everything that
doesn’t elicit his approval is wrong, for
usually the stamp of approval of such a
fellow is a sufficient guarantee of in
adequacy. A fellow who has the right
view of things gives the town in which
he lives all the boosting that it can le
gitimately hear. It does him no harm
and costs him nothing. And above all,
he should patronize local institutions.—

THIS LITTLE WOMAN
GAINS 35 POUNDS
ON THREE BOTTLES.
Another Thin, Trail. Nervous and
Pain-Racked Woman Restored
to Health.
"Honestly, I am getting so fat I am
really ashamed to tell you now much I
have gained," said Mrs. Nettie McGirrr,
who lives at 1805 Eighteenth Avenue,
North, Nashville, Tenn., several days
ago.
"Actually it has gotten to be a regu
lar joke, for I have gotten so stout that
my clothes are too small for me, and
every dress I wore last winter will have
to be made over again.” she continued,
"and the change in my general appear
ance is so wonderful that my friends
and neighbors ure all wondering what I
have been doing with myself. When
they ask me I just tell them I have
been taking Tanlac, and it is a fact, for
I have just finished my third bottle,
and have gained !55 pounds.
"When I began taking the medicine
I only weighed 1U5 pounds, and now I
weigh 140, and never felt better in my
life.
"1 always enjoyed very good health
up to about two years ago, when I be
gan having indigestion, which gradual
ly developed into a bad form of stom
ach trouble. This trouble began pull
ing me down and I finally got so I could
not eat anything at all scarcely, and had
to diet myself -.intinually. I had to
avoid sweets of all kinds, and always
after eating I would suffer for hours.
1 was also very nervous and dizzy,
and was easily tired. I finally got so
weak I could not walk any distance
without resting. My kidneys must have
been affected also, for I had severe
pains in my sides and back.
‘My sister, Mrs. Minnie Hull, came
to see me one day and she looked so
well I asked her what she had been tak
ing. She told me Tanlac, and I made
up my mind right then and there to
give it a trial.
"Acting on her advice, I bought a
bottle and have been taking it regular
ly since. Of course I expected it to
help me, hut if anyone had told me that
there was a medicine on earth that
would have helped me like Tanlac I
would not have believed them.
‘The medicine seemed to be just the
one thing I needed, for it just filled me
with new life and energy from the very
first dose. In only a few days my ap
petite returned and I began to enjoy
my meals, and everything seemed to
agree witli me and nourish me.
"1 am no longer nervous and dizzy-
headed like 1 was, and can now sleep
like a child. In fact, I feel just like a
person who had been made all over
again. I hope every suffering woman
will hear about it.”

Bear This in Mind.
"I consider Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy by far the beat medicine in the
market for colds and croup," says Mrs.
Albert Blosst r, Lima, Ohio. Many
others are i f the same opinion. Obtain
able everywhere.
David Leslie Brown In Cosmopolitan Magazine.
Take time and make occasions to in
quire into the purposes of life; think
on Bound and basic principles. Eman
cipate yourself from all that is unreal,
dogmatic, hysterical. Be natural—be
yourself. Do not blight your soul with
words or vows you cannot live up to.
Realize that all men are needful of
but one thing — kindness; and that
what the world needs most to effect
its salvation is simple sincerity in mo
tives and actions. To bring these
tilings about you need to know, not be
lieve. Repudiate that sort of faith
which asks you to believe what you
know to be false. We stand alone, we
develop ourselves, though we are re
sponsible to our fellow-men for the sort
of lives we live. Nothing is ever given
to us —we create. Others cannot
create good in us; God Himself cannot.
Through nature und men we got our
lessons; this is the true revelation. The
truth is in us. It is not controlled or
dispensed exclusively' by any organiza
tion or institution. Such ideas develop
dependence and selfishness. Truth
lives on independence; and it is univer
sal, because it is the most personal
thing in the world. Therefore prize
your personality, and remember to
keep it sacred.
Rscommended for Croup.
Coughs, colds, croup, hoarseness, in
flamed throat, bronchial troubles or
sore chest are relieved by Foley's
Honey and Tar, which opens stopped air
passages, soothes and heals inflamed
surfaces, and restores normal breath
ing. W. C. Allen, Boseley, Mo., says:
"1 have raised a family of four children
and used Foley's Honey and Tar with
all of them. I find it the best cough
and croup remedy 1 ever used. I used
it for eight or ten years and can recom
mend it for croup.” J. F. Lee Drug Co.
Two young squirts with hair evenly
balanced and well parted in the middle
stood on the corner here Sunday after
noon and whiled away the time by
malting remarks about nearly every
lady that passed them. This seems to
be a favorite pasttime withsomeof the
youngsters here, and it is about the
lowest thing they could get to do. It is
hard to say whether ordinary strang
ling or plain shooting is best for a pair
like that.—Bainbridge Post-Searchlight
In Memory of J- B. Walker.
Jas. B. Walker was born in Coweta
county in 1845, and reared upon the
farm, with the limited educational fa
cilities of that time and place. In
1861 he enlisted under Capt. Sanders
Lee in Co. A, Seventh Georgia regi
ment. He had enlisted for a year, but
when the time expired and his discharge
was received, he immediately re-en-
listed, this time in Co. K. of First
Georgia Cavalry. He was in the bat
tles of Yorklown, the seven days' fight
at Richmond, Va., and was wounded at
the battle of Sunshine church, Ga., at
the time his brigade captured Gen.
Stoneman. This necessitated a stay of
three months in the hospital. After
having recovered he returned to his
company and remained until the end of
the war. Upon his return he found
his father so affected in mind by the
loss of all his slaves as the result of
the war that the young man was com
pelled to take charge of his estate. In
his management of this, as of all af
fairs which came into his hands, his
diligence in the discharge of duty, his
faithfulness to every trust, were con
stantly manifested.
In 18(56 he married Miss Almeta P.
Shell.
He-had been a member of the Meth
odist church, South, for a number of
years. He was one of Coweta's leading
citizens, and a fine type of Christian
gentleman. He was 70 years old, and
had been married 49 years.
After a few weeks’ illness he died
Dec. 8, 1915. He is survived by his
wife and six children, three sons and
three daughters—Mrs. W. F. Waldrop
and Mrs. Tom McGough, of Turin; Mrs.
E. D. Johnson of Elder’s Mill; John R.,
of Florida; Roland B. , of Michigan;
and William C., of Turin. The remains
were laid to rest in Old Tranquil ceme
tery. J. S. R.

Old-time Indians say every sign indi
cates the approach of a long, cold win
ter. They say squirrels have already
begun storing up nuts, the bark to
trees is thicker than ordinary, the sum
mer has been abnormally cool and wet,
the migration of birds has already
started, and a dozen other signs which
never fail, all go to forecast a severe
winter. It is noticeable that the full-
blood Cherokees in the Spavinaw coun
try are making unusual preparations
for winter. For the first time in years
they have stored up a surplus of fuel
and food, and they are advising their
white brothers to do likew ise.—Tulsa

A certain boy’s mother was away on
a visit. The youngster attempted to
write her a letter.
"Papa,” he presently inquired, "how
do you spell ‘Ike?’ ”
"Ike,” answered papa, wisely, "is a
proper name, so must be spelled with a
capital letter. Otherwise there is but
one way to spell it—I-k-e. ”
By and by sonnie brought father his
letter.

Did Not Know He
" Had Kidney Trouble
“Until I applied for life insurance,”
writes Andrew O'Donnell, Birming
ham, Ala., "I did not know that I
had kidney trouble, but four phy
sicians who examined me for the com
pany said I had, and each turned me
down on account of this insidious
trouble. Later I was seriously dis
abled and used Foley Kidney Pills,
and used them persistently, until now
one of the same physicians says I’m
all right and he will O. K. my’appli
cation. I have caused many of my
friends to buy Foley Kidney Pills.”
Overworked kidneys may become
inllamed and seriously diseased while
the sufferer ignores the warnings.
Backache, rheumatism, uric acid in
the blood, discolored urine, stiff
joints, sore muscles, puffiness under
eyes—any and all of these conditions
deserve instant attention. Foley Kid
ney Pills help tlie kidneys to do their
work, soothe and heal irritations and
help throw out poisonous waste mat

.T. W. Seaton of Linden, Clerk of
the Circuit Court of the Twelfth Ju
dicial District of Tennessee, was for
years a sufferer from stomach troubles
—in part a result of his confining
work. He tried doctor after doctor.
He tried medicines without end.
One day he took a dose of Mayr's
Wonderful Remedy. He wrote:
“Your medicine is the best in the
world for any form of stomach trouble.
I am glad to say that after taking the
full treatment I feel that I am well.
“I had very severe pains in my stom
ach all the time. One bottle of your
medicine did me ten times as much
good as all the doctors’ medicine that
I took for two years. My family phy
sician told me that I would never be
any better—today I am well. 1 have
gained twenty-five pounds.’’ .
Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy gives per
manent results for stomach, liver and
intestinal ailments. Eat as much and
whatever you like. No more distress
after eating, pressure of gas in the
stomach and around the heart. Get one
bottle of your druggist now and try it

YOU CAN GET
POTASH
FOR FERTILIZING
Potash, for fertilizing, is scarcer than hen’s teeth.
No use to look to Germany, the normal source of sup
ply, for Potash can’t be gotten from there now.
But you can get Potash right here at home, in fer
tilizer which contains as a source of its ammonia
COTTON SEED MEAL
Every pound of Cotton Seed Meal, in addition to supplying
from 71V to SC' of Ammonia, also contain 2i',o of Phosphoric
Acid and an average of 2of Potash.
When your fertilizer contains Cotton Seed Meal, it not only
supplies your soil with the desired amount of ammonia, but
also gives to it Potash in the most desirable form and in an
amount larger than can be obtained front any other source of
ammonia. In addition it furnishes over 2’7 of Phosphoric Acid,
another most important and valuable element of plane food,
which fact is not generally appreciated.
The fact must not be lost sight of that in using Cotton Seed
Meal you have a fertilizer which feeds the growing plant grad
ually during its entire growth and leaves in the soil a most
valuable humus with which to sustain succeeding crops.
A demonstration recently conducted at the State College
of Agriculture, extending over two years, proved that the best
production per acre was made through the use of Cotton Seed
Meal as a source of ammonia.
When your fertilizer is based upon Cotton Seed Meal, it
contains all that the other sources of ammonia have, and in
addition, Potash, which the other sources have not.
