Well, Here They Are
Our 1924-25 Bargain Offers
AFTER much wrestling with the other publishers we are able to an
nounce what we believe to be Ihe best list of clubbing combinations
ever offered by a Southern farm newspaper, at prices which represent a dis
tinct saving to every subscriber.
When we began these negotiations, it appeared that all prices would be
much higher this year than previous.
Yet when we got down to talking about our ability to produce a big
volume of business for other papers, some of the publishers saw the light and
at the last minute made price reductions which make our clubs even more at
tractive than in the past.
It is true that we have no more A-4’s with nine papers included for only
$1.50, but when it comes to class, coupled with economy, you’ll find the real
stuff listed below.
Study them over, compare them with what other papers are offering,
and send in your subscription to the good old Tri-Weekly Journal.

NEW YORK, Nov. I.—The hard
est-fougljt gubernatorial campaign
in many years virtually came to a
close tonight, with the lines of bat
tle drawn in New York City, long
the stronghold of Governor Alfred E.
Smith and the state democracy.
The governor tonight made his
last set address of a partisan politi
cal character.
Colonel Theodore Roosevelt, Re
publican gubernatorial candidate,
will make his last two speeches on
Monday night.
From Republican and Democratic
headquarters came tne usual predic
tions of victory. The election of
Colonel Roosevelt “by at least 250,-
000 majority” was forecast by
George K. Morris, chairman of the
Republican state committee. Ray
mond V. Ingersoll, chairman of the
citizens’ committee for the re-elec
tion of Governor Smith, declared
that “all the signs which forecast
the tremendous victory of the gov
ernor two years ago have manifested
themselves this year.” In 1922. Gov
ernor Smith defeated Governor
Nathan L. Miller. Republican candi
date for re-election, by 385,000
votes.
Governor Smith, Colonel Roose
velt. and Norman Thomas, the so
cialist candidate, have stumped ths
state during the last month. Col
onel Roosevelt's tour was the most
extensive, and he made 211 speeches
before returning to the metropolis
a week ago. Governor Smith con
tented himself with speaking in the
larger cities of the southern, west
ern and central counties, and in
New York.

try is second only to cloth mills in
growth in state, according to Com
missioner of Labor Shipman, who re
ports 131 knitting mills, with com
bined capital of $34,000,000, have an
nual output valued at $29,000,000,
g’ving state rank of third in number
, of plants and seventh in value of
ern and central counties and in
New York.
The state senatorial and assembly
campaigns have been overshadowed
by the intensity of the gubernatorial
drives. The senate in the last leg
islature was Democratic by a nar
row margin and the assembly was
Republican.
Mrs. Florence Knapp, Republican
I candidate for secretary of state, is
I the only woman on the major party
i tickets. The Democratic ticket, in
j its entirety, is the one elected with
I Governor Smith two years ago.

country and there is a strong feeling

the two movements.’’

Owing to the short time at his

bought another 2-bushel lot at $3 a
bushel.
The auction was a red letter day
in the history of the Bluffton church,
marking the beginning of an era
when the finances of the church and
a large number of other rural
churches will be a much easier mat
ter to handle.
The Rev. H. M. Melton, who origi
nated the Lord’s Acre, and who has
been a leader in the movement, was
auctioneer.
The amount received represents
an average yield on the nine acres
at $52 an acre, which is far above
the average yield of farms in this
section.
There was little expense attached
I to the sale, and practically all of
| the amount derived went to the
; church treasury. Another item that
! came as a donation from the J. E.
Martin Auto company, of Arlington,
was a $65 commission on the sale of
an automobile. The automobile was
auctioned at the same time, bring
ing the regular price, the $65 being
given the Bluffton church to sell
i the car. This sum brought the total
amount netted by the church to over
$525.
This is the second year the “Lord’s
Acre’’ plan has been in operation
at the Bluffton church. The first
year seven acres were set aside for
the Lord’s work, netting the church
; about $309, and with $525 derived
this year the Bluffton Baptist church
i is now entirely out of debt, pastor’s
. salary paid to date and surplus in

Mw Congress adjourned last June
tW i VV this large number of proposed laws
Ow wgy'' ’ affecting the railroads was receiving v
the attention of members of the House an d
Ufeailtf Senate. Fortunately for the American
M 0 * people, for you who are reading this news
paper, none of the bills was passed, but
many of them are now on the calendar
n and will be considered without further preliminary
vffijlak action when Congress convenes on December Ist.
Congress generally wishes to do right, but certain
a&SK Interests are now proposing railroad legislation*
which, if enacted, would not only impair the railroad
service but would be seriously hurtful to the general
d business interests of the country.
\ The railroads should have further trial under tho
V, existing laws. They need a prolonged respite from
legislative agitation, during which the railroad man
agers and other forces can devote themselves to
plain transportation and the people can enjoy the
high-class railway service and prosperity which they
now have without risks from experimental tinkering.
Railroad managers feel that it is their duty to ac
quaint the public with the facts about the railrtMMJtaL
and in that way, through the building up of a sqtftid
public sentiment, hold up the hands of fair-minded
Congressmen and Senators, who are willing that thq
railroads shall have their fighting chance at this time
of crisis in their affairs; that they shall have an oppor
tunity to work out their salvation under the provi
sions of the laws now on our statute books, and
that their operations shall not be further hampered

VITAMIZEO WATER
MAKES HENS LAY
New Vitaniine Discovery Gives Anuu»
ing Increase in Egg Yield
Spring and summertime egg pro
duction in the fall and winter month. 4
may now easily be had through ths
discovery of a remarkable new meth,
od of supplying those essential
vitamines that are necessary for egg ‘
production and which are lacking in
the feed at this season of the year.
It has been found that loafing ot
molting flocks, when supplied with
these vitamines, quickly begin to
lay many times as many eggs, are
out. of the molt much .soojier, and
are put in prime condition for heavy
jvinter laying.
These essential vitamines can eas.
:ly be supplied by simply dissolving
Vita-Gland Tablets in the flock'l
drinking water. In addition to pure (
concentrated vitamines, these tablets
also contain Ovarian Gland Sul>
stances which rebuild and revitalize
the egg producing glands of the hensj
and hasten the development of thfl
egg organs of pullets, starting theni
laying much sooner.
How to Get Yours Free
To quickly introduce them to nev4
users, the Vita-Gland
1221 Gateway Station, Kansas City, ,
Mo., are offering to send two regts
lar SI.OO packages of Vita-Gland Tabi
lets, postpaid, for only SI.OO. Or, ii
more convenient, you need send nd

SI.OO and postage on delivery of thd
two boxes. By selling one box to q
neighbor you can get your own sup,
ply free. Moreover, if you are not
gratified with the results,' just say
so and back comes your money. Now
is the time to give your flock 4
good start for fall and winter lay*
ing. Eggs are high and going high
er. and it is by getting them now
that bigger poultry profits are made. ,
especially with the high cost oi
grain feed. As Vita-Gland Tablets
