"After the birth of my
baby 1 had a back-set,”
writes Mrs. Mattie Cross
white, of Glade Spring,
Va. “I was very ill;
thought I was going to
die. 1 was so weak 1
couldn’t raise my head to
get a drink of water. I
took . . . medicine, yet 1
didn’t get any better. 1
was constipated and very
weak, getting worse and
worse. IsentforCardui.”

Crosswhite. “Six bot

was cured, yes, I can say
they were a God-send to
me. I believe I would
have died, had it not been
for Cardui.” Cardui has
been found beneficial in
many thousands of other
cases of womanly trou

Money Saved on Patches
and Sampling of Cotton
By Cotton Association
That I may give to the mem
bers of the Arkansas Cotton
Growers Cooperative Associ
ation, as well as the non-mem
bers, a little idea of the saving
of money by being a member
of the Cotton Association, I call
your attention to a few items.
The average cotton sold on the
streets is sampled from two to
a dozen times, all of which is
done before the cotton is sold
and at the erpense of the sell
er.
The Association will only
take one sample, one from each
side of the bale, and these
samples will be preserved by
the Association, sold and pro
ceeds placed to its credit. The
sample retained and sold by
the association will at least
amount to one bale to every
one thousand bales and if it
sells two hundred thousand
bales during the coming season
it will be a saving of two hund
red bales to the Association
averaging five hundred pounds
to the bale and at twenty cents
per pound will total $20,000.
Another saving 1 call your
attention to, and that is the
patches placed on cotton by the
Association and the cotton
saved by having only one sam
ple drawn will be an additional
saving and an average of ninei
pounds to the bale will be gain-;
ed in weight for the grower.
Multiply nine pounds by two
hundred thousand and you
have one million, eight hund
red pounds at twenty cents per
pound a saving of $360,000.
Another item and that is the
cotton sold by the Association
will eliminate the average mid
dle man and speculator and it
w ill not be denied that this will
save' for the member from $5
to $20 on each bale sold, so we
will average a saving on thi?
item of at least $10 a bale and
if the Association sells two
hundred thousand bales this
alone will be a saving of at
least $2,000,000 or a grand
total on these three items ot
$2,380,000.
This is by no means the only
saving, but I simply call your
attention to these, that you
may have an idea of the good
accomplished by belonging to
the Association. Who is en
titled to this extra money, the
cotton growers or the specula
tor? Don’t you thnk it is time
the cotton raiser should have
some consideration in these ex
tra profits? Think of it; more
than $11,000,000 saved to the
members of the Arkansas Cot
ton Growers’ Co-operative As
sociation in only three items in
a short period of five years.
If all the cotton growers of
the state were members of the
Cotton Association it would
mean more than eight hundred
thousand bales instead of two
hundred thousand sold by the
Association and figuring the
amount saved on this basis com
pared with the figures above
mentioned it will be a profit to
the cotton raiser of the state
each year of $9,520,000 and
for a period of five years $47,
600,000 and this is only the 3
items mentioned above men
tioned.
Will the cotton grower long
er procrastinate? Will he sit
idly by and let the speculator
profit by his mistakes? I am
glad to know that that time
has passed and that the cotton
raiser is coming into his own.
Yours very truly,
L. N. RUTHERFORD,
Director Ark. Cotton Grower*;

AN APPEAL TO THE BOYS
Your first duty in life is to
ward your after-self. So live
that your after-self—that the
man you ought to be, may be,
may in his time be possible and
actual.
Far away in the years to
come he is waiting his turn.
His body, his brain, his soul,
are in your boyish hands. He
cannot help himself.
What will you leave for
him? Will it be a brain un
spoiled by lust of dissipation
a mind trained to think and
act, a nervous system true as
a dial in its response to the
truth about you? Will you,
boy, let him come as a man
among men in his time; or will
you throw away this inheri
tance before he has had the
chance to touch it? Will you
turn over to him a brain dis
torted, a mind diseased? A
will untrained to action? A
spinal cord grown through and
through with the devil grass
|of that vile harvest we call
wild oats?
Will you let him come, tak
ing your place, gaining thru
your experiences, hallowed
through your joys, building on
them his hope?
Or will you fling his hope
[away, cfecreeing wanton-like
that the man you might
have been shall never be?
This is your problem in
| life the problem of more im
portance to you than any or
all others. How will you
! meet it, as a man or as a fool?
When you answer this, we
shall know what use the world
'can make of you.—Exchange.
AN ENEMY OF YOUR LIFE
Feeding on the same mental
food year in and year out; see
ing the same things every day;
working in the same environ
ment; doing the same things
day after day, without any
change or variation sets the
mind in one stereotyped, rutty
groove, and kills spontaneity
and enthusiasm. In other
words, mo.notony is the enemy
of originality, of life itself. It
kills resourcefulness and
throws the mind out of poise,
out of harmony.
On the other hand, new ex
periences; meeting new peo
ple; taking little excursions;
hearing good lectures; going
to a good play when possible;
all these things beget new life,
new ideas, stimulate the mind
and furnish fresh food, new
material for the imagination,
They renew and rejuvenate
the life all along the line of the
entire nature. If you want to
keep growing, progressing, in
stead of deteriorating, to keep
responsive to the new ideas
and thoughts of the world,
keep out of ruts.

BOY BADLY BURNED
F alls Into Vat of Boiling Water
At Paragould.
Paragould, July. 10—All the
skin and part of the flesh from
the feet and legs of Earl John
son, aged 1G, was burned off
today when he fell feet fore
most into a vat of scalding
water. The burns are very
painful but the youth is expect
ed to recover.
Young Johnson is an em
ploye of the Standard Veneer
ing Company and his duties
are to raise blocks from the vat
of boiling water with a hook.
The blocks are scalded so they
will peel off easily for veneer
ing purposes. The boy lost his
balance and slipped into the
vat feet foremost. The vat.
is ten feet square and seven
feet deep, but it was filled with
blocks and the boy went only
about two feet under the boil
ing water.
