WHY CAMELS
ARE THE BETTER CIGARETTE
Camels contain 'such tobaccos and such
blending as have never been offered in
any other cigarette.
They are made of the choicest Turkish and
American tobaccos grown.
Camels are always smooth and mild.
Camel quality is jealously maintained. . .
by the world’s largest organization of
expert tobacco men ... it never varies.
Smoke Camels as liberally as you choose. ..
they will never tire your taste.
Nor do they ever leave an unpleasant
after-taste.

The Daily Times on Wednesday
morning received an advertising
plate from an electrotyping concern
in Cincinnati, Ohio, that cost $8.25
in postage. The advertisement is for
Lucky Strike Cigarettes, and is one
of a series that appears regularly in
The Times. The American Tobacco
Company wants its advertisements
to appear on schedule time and in
order to get this particular one here
at the proper time sent it by air
mail from Cincinnati to Chicago,
then to Dallas, and as the plate
weighed five pounds, it cost, togeth-
er with the special delivery fee,
$8.25 for postage. We believe this
the highest amount ever charged for
a piece of common mail ever
brought to this city.
The most dissatisfied people as
rule are those who do not have a goal
in. life. They beat their wings for-
ever against the bars of indecision
and delay. They move in circles and
come out at no end. And out of this
endless experience there arises at
last a sense of defeat and helpless-
“Yes, old Cedric is a dumb cluck,
all right; but no wonder. Look at his
parents.”
“What’s the matter with his old
folks?”
“Well, the dean wrote to them tell-
ing them that their son had 16 cuts,
and in the next mail Cedric got a roll
of gauze and a can of adhesive
tape.”
ness—a sense of the utter futility of
the life they lead and that often em-
bitters.—Ladies Home Journal.
The first goal in life for the fam-
ily is a home that it can call its own;
a place where it can hug to itself the
security that can be earned in no oth-
er way—a place where the burden
lifts, if but for an hour, and peace
and happiness and ^contentment,

choice. Such service is not merely promised

of General Electric Refrigerators, not one has
ever spent a dollar for repairs or service.
The following comparison of cot-
ton and milk production in one coun-
ty in Mississippi is illuminating, and
worthy of deep thought by our peo-
ple. The country mentioned was
broke from all cotton farming when
dairy farming was started. The fig-
ures given show the benefits of dairy
farming:
Cows and Cotton
Estimates of the value of the 1927
cotton crop of Oktibbeha County are
placed at from $500,000 to $700,-
000. The News is unable to give the
exact valuation but the figures sub-
mitted are estimates from men of
the city who are in a position to give
estimates that will come close to the
correct figures."
The two milk plants of the . county
paid out during 1927 the sum of $1,-
348,586.96 to the dairymen for milk
and cream.
Therefore the dairy industry of
the county produced double the value
of the cotton crop.
If it were possible to get the fig-
ures on the milk sold by dairymen
locally and shipped to other points,
the amount used for home consump-
tion, the surplus cows and heifers
sold, and the value of the fertilizer
produced, another substantial sum
would be added to the credit of the
dairy industry.
Another significant fact which the
figures show is that the dairy indus-
try in Oktibbeha County received
$667,378.63 more for their 1927
milk and cream than in 1926. The
combined pay roll of the two plants
in 1926 was $681,208.63. (Borden
plant was only in operation nine
months.)
The value of all crops (estimated)
of the county (as published in the
News January 7, 1927) for the year
1926 was $1,270,20“ 00—about one
hundred thousand’ dollars less than
the amount paid for milk and cream
in 1927.—Starkville (Miss.) News.
You are probably trying to keep
up with your neighbors or friends in
whatever they are doing, whether
they can afford to do it or not.
They may be putting up just as
good a bluff as you are, for you
know that you cannot figure how to
meet expenses and pay debts with
your income.
And what do you get out of it?
Salve for your pride and endless
worry is about all there is to it.
You would get something worth-
while if you used good judgment and
kept within your income.
You might have peace and
nervous indigestion, anyway
Most domestic troubles are brought
about by the money question.
Extravagance makes family dis-
turbance.
Quarrels grow more numerous and
serious.
Constant recriminations and fam-
ily unhappiness just for the sake of
keeping up appearances—for what?
Would the ones you are trying to
follow lift a finger to keep you out
of jail if the sheriff or your creditors
tried to shut you up?
Certainly not, and they would
laugh—so foolish it would seem to
them that you had gotten into trou-
ble by spending more money than
you had rightfully.—Houston Chron-
icle.

Hardy borders are now as much a
part of the furnishings of a home as
the garage, the fences, or the clothes
poles. They are a sign of perma-
nence, an institution of beauty ap-
pearing each year.
simple, composed of only a few va-
rieties of plants. They may be nar-
row, only three or four feet wide, or
they may be elaborate, 10 to 15 feet
wide and employing a great variety
of plants and a carefully thought-out
color scheme.
The most interesting border is the
one that you grow and plan yourself.
The great majority of the perennials
can be raised in quantity from seed.
A few perennials, such as
peonies, named perennial ]
delphiniums and others, must be
bought as plants if a particular va-
riety is desired. Named plants were
originally raised from seed and the
finest seedlings were selected as
worth perpetuating and naming.
At the start there was only a single
plant of the variety. It was then
propagated either by dividing or by
cuttihgs of the roots or stems as hy-
brid plant do not breed true from
seed. So each named plant in the
world of a certain variety is really a
piece off the original plant.
For instance, the famous old white
peony, festiva maxima, distributed
over the gardens of the world wher-
ever peonies grow, now numbers mil-
lions of plants. All are pieces of one
plant. Such a plant is known scien-
tifically as a clonal variety.
The best way to secure a high
standard of plants for the hardy bor-
der is to raise a large quantity of
seedlings in rows like vegetables un-
til they bloom and then select the
best types and colors for permanent
occupants of the border. This should
be done wherever space permits. \
Delphiniums, pyrethrums and per-
ennial poppies have many inferior
types among seedlings which should
be discarded. However, all of them
make good displays and it is only the
advanced gardener who will be par-
ticular in his selection. It pays in
the long run.
By S. W. Straus, Pres. American
Society For Thrift
Seventeen years ago a young im-
migrant arrived in the United States.
He was without money and with only
a meager education. Recently he was
placed at the head of a large and
successful corporation which oper-
ates throughout the United States.
When asked the secret of his suc-
cess, he replied:
“I have succeeded mainly because
I had the courage of. my ideas. My
observation has been that many men
and women have ideas that are sound
but they do not possess that quality
of putting their thoughts into action.
When I left my native land other
boys in my neighborhood had the
same desires, but I was the only one
who came. Upon arriving here I de-
cided first of all that if I was will-
ing to give up comforts and small
luxuries for a while I would soon
have a sum of money with which to
start in business. . Other young fel-
lows.had the same idea but they did
not put this plan into effect. They
drifted along spending all they made.
“The man who succeeds is not al-
ways the smartest or the most cap-
able. Many others have equally good
ideas, but these come to naught un-
less they are translated into terms of
accomplishment.”
Let us hope that every person who
reads this quotation will apply it per-
sonally. Too many of us waste op-
portunities for advancement because
we will not “knuckle down” to the
things we know we should do for our
own good.
Fulton was not the first man to
dream of a ship propelled by steam;
Hill was not the first to realize the
posibilities of the North West Em-
pire nor was Edison the first to fore-
see the wizardy of electricity.
Dreams are of no practical value
until they become true. The drifter
of today is a failure not because he
does not know what he should do to
succeed. He fails because he will hot
do the things he knows should be
done. He will not economize, make
sacrifices, endure hardships and
work hard.
Long winded sermons on success
are not necessary. Any person with
common sense can make plans. The
great point is to carry them out.
They may be
MILES.—John Finck, who is the
owner of a model diversified farm
located two miles north of Miles, an-
nounced recently that his 550 Brown
Leghorn laying hens brought in a
little over a dollar each from Jan. 1
until May 1 of this year, from the
sale of eggs. In addition to the sale
of eggs, but not counted in the re-
ceipts during that period, are the
eggs Finck kept for setting pur-
poses, and the eggs they used on the
family table. His receipts from the
sale of eggs during the first four
months of this year were as follows:
January, $110; February, $125;
March, $176; April, $146.
While this record has probably
been eualled elsewhere, it is riote-
worhty that Finck’s hens have pro-
duced these eggs almost exclusively
on home grown feeds. A number of
milk cows on the farm provide a
large amount of sour milk, which
Finck believes is one of the best
tonics for a bunch of laying hens
that can be secured. By feeding his
home grown feeds to his poultry
flock, he has found a market for sur-
plus feed on his own farm, paying
him much more than he could get
were he to offer it for sale.
Regular shipments of cream are
made from the farm, providing an-
other important source of revenue.
Cotton is rotated with feed crops,
the yield of the cotton in this man-
ner being increased considerably. A
bad cotton crop or low prices for his
cotton hold no terror in store for
Finck, for his farm gives him a reg-‘
ular monthly income the year round.

this is the first cemetery I ever saw
