The average farmer of tills state, especially right now In the middle of the cotton belt had a real hard time and It has been a continuous struggle to keep things go ing. This year can hardly be any worse than lust season nnd this Is some conso lation to the tollers of the farm. The trouble, however, has not been confined to the farms alone, for It you strike the agricultural interests of the country everything else must suffer pro portionately. If It Wer* not for the farms, as has been aptly said, the seas would be shlpless, deserts and the cities houseless plains. Therefore whenever the farmer feels the touch of adferslty It becomes Immediately contagious and all lines of business and trado feel the same effects. The farmer Is the only man who car protect himself against Luch calamities. The average tiller of tho soil can grow enough things for home use and so for- ;lfy himself as to prevent anything akin to want from coming Ills way. Now Is the time to begin such a campaign.

If you were a merchant, would n't you rather sell a thousand yards of silk in a day. at a protit of 10c a yard, than to sell (with out advertising) fifty yards, at a profit of 2octs a yard? Isn’t it plain that in all such instances the buyer gets the ben efit of the "volume of business” which advertising enables the merchant to do?
