Take Heed.
Farmer friend. listen Right
now is the most serious point ir.
your farm life for many years
Take heed and govern yourself ac
cordingly and you will come out ir
good shape and ahead of the game
Otherwise you. will lose, and at e
time when you' may never recover.
Corn is now above a dollar a bushe
by the car load; oats 75c: hay $2<"
a ton; cotton seed meal $40 a tor.
and other feeds accordingly. F!ou'
is $10 a barrel; meal $5: meat 20c
a pound; butter 40c: eggs 30 tt
4Cc a dozen and every other fooc
product is high accordingly. !i
fact, there is an advance in th
price of practically everything bu!
postage stamps and chewing gum
Flow is the farmer going to live ur,
dar such conditions? Many wil1
say, "Why look at the price of cot
ton- that will take care us." All
right, lets look. The price of cot
ton today is 20 cents and of seed
$57 to $60. Pretty good. But
that is for the 1916 crop. How
about the prices for 1917? Wh
will fix the prices for 1917? Wil
the farmer? Nol Then how car
he depend upon the 1917 prices
for his cotton to pay for his living
at the present prices of feed, food j
and clothing? He can't, unless he
takes chances. To take chances
is to speculate to gamble Farmers!
can't afford that. The farmer!
can t affo’d to lose. There is only
one sensible, business like course !
for the farmer to take to save him
self, i hat is to raise his feed and j
food at bonne next year. Play
safe. The farmers have • an abso
lute certainty of prosperity if they
will do this. Keep cows enough to
have fresh milk and butter all the
time: put in time enough this win
ter to fix up a good chicken house
and get enough poultry wire to
fence the chickens off the crop
in the spring Put in a good gar
den and help your wife work it.
Buy a $10 canning outfit and have
your girls join the canning club
They will can enough stuff to feed
the family all ne<t ytac Plai t
potatoes, sweet potatoes, a fe v i
rows of canteloupes, some peanuts,
popcorn and watermelons. Set out
some asparagas and rhubarb and a
few rows of strawberries next to j
the garden and get a few hives of
bees. Breed your sows so they
will bring pigs early and make your
meat next winter. Half a dozen •
early spring pigs properly cared for
will make enough meat for the;
family the following year. Sow an j
acre of rape for thefn to pasture on \
in the spring. After these things;
plant corn and hay crop« for your
cotton you can work. If you fol
low this course you will be able to
borrow money to hire labor to
make fcotton, and the bankers and
merchants will all rise up in the fall
and call you blessed.

and his ti.^)° card is the best evi

A study of one Of Mr. Edison’s
time cards is interesting. This,
his time card of the week ending
^ug. 2C. shows that on Wednesday
Mr. Edison d:d not come in at all
in the morning, for he was already

:eft at 8:1 C in the morning and n -
turned six hours later "punching
n” at 2:20. Again he worked a
night, leaving the following morr
ng at S: 1 1. after an 18-hou
stretch of work. Thus he labors
light after night and the punching
shows a total of 95 hours and 4i
minutes to his credit. This tirm

world is one who was defeated
Until the last he hoped to win; now
drearily he hikes it. he wears ;
wie'd and wintry grin, and wquk
pretend he likes it. "I did my best
while in the game." he savs hi
eyes abrimqrnng; "There are nc
sore spots on my frame, since ir
the soup I'm swimming." Will he
get back to honest toil, to wise anc
sane endeavor? No! One cam
paign’s enough to spoil a patriot
forever. The lust for office in his
blood he'll never quit his running,
although he meets a nasty thud
when he goes gunning. To save
the dear old sprangled bag anc

Our good old friend and stayer
of hunger, the noble navy bean, for
generations the mainstay of the
poor classes and the all year round
food of the countless millions, has
forsaken its rule and joined the
aristocracy of the high cost of liv
ing table supplies. Not so long
ago a quarter's worth of navies
would keep the wolf from the door
of a large family for several- "days!
but now it takes thirty certs worth
to feed a small family one meal.
We are disappointed in the national
food of the masses. It is tending
toward the fashionable banquet,
and its days of usefulness as a
lemocratic staff of life is passing
At the present rat» of advance

Is only another way of saying “Ready at the right time
and the right place.” No matter how many good chances
to make money come, you cannot take advantage of them
unless you have prepared yourself to take hold of them.
How many times have you seen good chances to make
money if only you had the money saved up to make a be
ginning? How many good bargains in farms or stock have
you let go by because you lacked funds?
The only way to take advantage of your opportunities
is to be ready and waiting for them with money enough laid
up to make the right beginning
We will appreciate your account and take pleasure in
seeing it grow. The man who builds up a good account
from his earnings can always get help at this bank if he
should need to borrow. Start today to get ready for the
opportunities that are sure to come to you by opening up an
account at this bank.

Supreme Test of an Automobile Tire..- For
the same reason the Supreme Test of ''feaw
Test" "Is Yearage.”
There you have the reason for its tre
mendous popularity. As a rule people know
furniture when they use it. The outside ap
pearance is not always indicative of inside
I woith. The only exception to this rule that
we know of is the “Saw Test." Because
everyone who has used it wi'l te'l you that
it is every bit as good as it looks. You
don't buy “Saw Test" Furniture on faith.
No sireel You buy it with the positive cer
tainty that it will look up to its appearance
as long as it lasts. That will he for sever

We are strong on Rugs and Draperies.
Especially the newer designs. Those that
