Rutledge. Tenn.—"For thirty years

“Since I have been married and
had children of my own. I liave
found It to be a fine medicine to
give them for colds and indigestion.
I have three little girls, and when I
see one of them fretful and ‘droopy*
in the morning, I begin treating her
with a course of Black-Draught. It
Is not long until she is lively and
well again. I make a tea of it and
give It to the children, as they take
it best that way.
“I take Block-Draught for con
stipation and indigestion. If X wake
up with a bad taste In my mouth
and fed sluggish and dull. I know
it is time for a dose of Black-
Draught
“We try to keep a bos of Black-
Draught always In the house and
are seldom without It My health
Is generally good, but I think It Is
a good thing to keep a mild, de
pendable remedy on hand for spells
of constipation.”

2. The old method of each person helling their own cotton, by getting local
buyers to make an offer, and then just taking the "Highest Bid’’ is rec
ognized as bud business. For the simple reason, the “Highest Bid” may
be many dollar.', under the market value.
8. Good roads and public trucks enable you to send your cotton to me in a

That advice is probably useless.
The public agrees with the distin

cannot get our faces on Government
money the next best thing is to get
your hands on it.’’ Too many be

get your hands on it.
Calvin Coolidge, tanned, smiling,
beaming with health, is enthusiastic
about American prosperity. He well
may be.
Money is made rapidly here. Three
years ago an investing company was
formed with $0,600,000. Now it is
sues $24,000,000 in six per cent pre
ferred stock, and shows profits of
$40,0000,000. Nevertheless
Fanners are told that the value of
this year's wheat crop has increased
$304,000,000 since June 1. How
much of that the farmers will get,
how much middle men, and especially
wheat gamblers, will get nobody
knows.
Formers might hire an intelligent
wheat speculator to sell their crops
for future delivery when prices
high. As it is they wait until the
wheat is threshed. Then the price
lower.
Present estimates show that the
four big crops, wheat, corn, oata and
rye, are worth $3,645,000,000. an in
crease of more than a thousand mil
lion dollars in two months.
A savage outbreak of convicts in
New York’s Clinton Prison is easily

Too many “life” and “long term”
prisoners were herded together. Such

Lacking hope and its courage, you
