as never successful until I began
Using HERB JUICE. And like so
many others, according to their
Own statements in the papers, l
found the relief I had been seek*

only medicine to ever relieve me
of constipation, regulate my bow

my system I am no longer troubl
ed with that awful rick, heavy
feeling after eating caused from
gas and I can now eat anything I
please, it is properly digested and
docs not hurt me. My nerves are
in much better condition, I have a
wonderful appetite, have lots ot
energy and now my work is a
pleasure. I go to bed, rest and
sleep the whole night through,
arising in the mornings feeling re
freshed. I can heartily recommena
HERB JUICE to up.vone suffering

WORMS MAY DAMAGE COTTON CROP
ABOUT FIFTY PER CENT. COKER ASSERTS
Hartsville.—Young cotton in
South Carolina will hr damaged
fully 50 per cent by the invasion
of the cotton leaf worm, unless poi
son, administered in an effective
manner, is resorted to David K.
Coker, seedman and recognized au
thority on farminy of this place,
declared in a statement issued this
week. There is much of the young
crop in the upper part of the state,
Mr. Coker outlined the method ot
poisoning he has found most satis
factory.
Ilis statement follow.-.;
I'oison Does Work.
“Cotton leaf worms are present
in small numb; rs in many fields T;
$out.h Carolina. The second crop is
beginning to hatch off, however,
and we have discovered one spot on
i ne of our plantations where they
were in sufficient numbers to strip
the cotton. Few found this spot of
several acres hist Thursday and
diluted the field Eric, ay morning.
The writer inspected this field yes
terday and found that praeticil'y
■-11 the v >rns we*e killed on the
rmtr of ,he field which was dust
ed in the early morning. On t; i
hart of the field which was dint
dried the worms had nfi parr n't !'j
net been harmed. The writer I''"re
fore advises dusting with calcium
arsenate for leaf worms while li
plants are wet with dew, or better
s'ill, spraying the cotton with cal
ciurn arsenate-water mixture, in
1922 we found a mixture of tw >
pounds of calcium arsenate to 50
gallons of water effective fer kill
ing the worms on one acre.
“Some ha' P the i;!< a that ti <
leaf worm nt this season will not
damage cotton. This is a great mis
take if ther>' are young holls that
are not just ready to open ns tie
leaf worm kills the plant at once
by stripping it of all folic g" and
young bolls not fully matured will
be badly-injured. In 1911 we allow
ed the laef worm to kill out cot
ton about the middle of October, at
which time all holls were fully
grown. We afterwards regretted
that we had not destroyed him by
poisoning as we found that many
of the top bolls did not open at all
or made weak immature fiber.
“Every farmer who has live cot
ton should watch his fields closely
and where the leaf worms are found
to be at work it should be pois
oned immediately by spraying wi h
alc.’um preenatorwafer mixture or
by dusting when the leaves are wet
with dew.
“There is much young cotton nii
over the state, and especially in the
Piedmont, and the writer believes
that this cotton will be damag 'd at
least 50 per cent if the leaf worm
is allowed to kill the plant within
the next ten days or two weeks.”
“DAVID R. COKER."

novel experience of seeing the
work of the army worm that is
playing such havoc with the cot

followed No. 2.0 to the county fair

four mile:; and went into the Fall

We hear that Max Gardner has

Love *Fm ArH
Loot ’Em Girl?
Dublin—“Love then and lui.i
thorn,” seems lb be the slogan of
! many young ft ills in Dublin today,
j where the cost of wooing is higher
! th"n ever before.
Young men here are complaining
. that the flapper, amt, indeed, her
eider sister expect too much and
j that “keeping company” has bo*
! come prohibitively expensive.
The boys declare thai the flap
j pers’ appetite for iocs and candy
; has become abnormal, that she tn*
sists on sitting in too expensive
seats at the theater—which is vls
j ited too often—and that she ex
i pects to he taken to and from a
: dance in a taxi.
Gone are the times when the
young girls were content with a
(piiet walk along some lonely
lane and an occasional bunch of
flowers. Nowadays the girls wa:.t
gaiety all the time.
It is also said that the affectior. ,
of many girls in these days is too
fleeting, and that, after they have
had a good time for a while, new
cavaliers are sought.
“Oh, for a nice demure, domes
ticated girl” is the vain cry of the
boys whose pockets no longer
jingle thanks to the modern a^iss
and her methods.

Duy'n.g On Time
Brings Prosperity
Installment buying Is helping to
promote prosperity and with prop
er development will produce higher,
standards of living, expand trade
and will make a permanent contri
bution to our economic prosperity,
according to the investment reviev*
published by Dillon, Read & Co.,
New York bankers.
The undoubted popularity of the
plan can he proved according to
this viewpoint, the bankers say, by
the fact that three-fourths of the
sales cf automobiles, radio sets,
sewing machines phonographs and
furniture in 1925 were reported to
have been on the installment plan
The total volume of sales on this
plan in 1923 is estimated to hav-»
been between $'1,500,009,000 and
$5-000,000,000.
In answer to critics of install
ment buying who argue that this
system prevents savings, increases
the desire for luxuries and creates
a precarious economic situation
should wages decline, the Review
points out that companies employ
ing this method have found it enor
mously profitable. Students of the
plan report that losses by default
of payment so far have been neg
ligible. It is the opinion- of the au
thor of the article irt the Review’
that installment buying, through
the distribution of many useful
and cultural commodities, has in
creased standard of living of the
American wage earner in a sound
ly beneficial way.
