it should do, and the work it should
do is to digest all the food you eat.

time the stomach is getting strong

natural work again. Kodol digests
all you eat. It makes the stomach
sweet and it is pleasant to take. It

Luther Daniels, one of Tip’s

Thursday was a very pleasant

On Saturday before the first

The cotton crop of this country
has been over-estimated. It is
said by many farmers that this
crop is not as good as it was this
date last year. In Texas the crop
is short at least •£. One man said
that he had 120 acres, well
worked, and large stalks, and if
he gets 10 bales he will do well.
REV. A. J. PORTER TELLS
OF HIS WESTERN TRIP.
Dear Editor :— For the bene
fit of my friends who are readers
of your valuable paper I will give
you a write-up of my recent trip
out west.
I left McCrory for Little Rock
where I remained a couple of days
attending the State meeting of the
Farmers’ Union'and from there I
went to Dallas, Texas, then to Fort
Worth, Wetherford and Mineral
Wells, the last named being a pop
ular health resort.
Here they are making crystals
out of the water which they call
salts. This salts can’t be made
only in winter, but during the
heated term they distill the water
and ship same to almost every
state in the Union at a price of
fwenty-six and two third cents per
J gallon.
From this place I went over
land to Cornish, Oklahoma. On
my trip from Mineral Wells to
Spanish Fort, via Salesville, Oak
ville, Jacksboro, Newport, Bowie,
Montague and Nocona, I never was
out of a lane from the time of my
departure until my arrival, a dis
tance of about 150 miles.
From Spanish Fort I crossed
Red River into Oklahoma, the
first town being Petersburg. This
place is surrounded by settlements
whose homes are built of logs that
are as rough as I ever saw, the
homes being about 12 by 14 feet.
From here I went to Orr. This
place is another small town out on
the plains and surrounding this
town you will find people living in
what is known as dug-outs.
I will close at this point and
give the remaining details of my
trip next issue.
Respectfully,
A. J. Porter.
