Gentlemen :
We desire to cull your attention to
the daugor of cotton seed being Im-
ported into your community having
wed perhaps from regions in TVxa
infested with the link IkiIJ worm. We
am ud vised that some seed from theae
infected districts have already gono
into parts of West Tens. Already
numerous findings of the pink poll
worm eggs have been discovers! in
peed from Infested districts.
If any traces of the pink boll worm
i-oiild bo found In seed shipped to
your county It would moan that you
would be placed under a very rigid
yuarantlno against shipping your
cotton or cotton socd. It would also
mean a material decline In land and
real estate values. In fact It would
be a real calamity. T.et us cona'der
this seriously and If you or your
neighbors have received seed from
m Suffer? m

"I beard ot Cardui and
decided to use it" con-
tinues Mrs. Simpson. "I
saw shortly it was bene-
fiting me so I kept it up
and it did wonders for
me. And since then I
have been glad to praise
Cardui. It Is the bent
woman's tonic made."
Weak women need a
tonic. Thousands and

Simpson have found
Cardui of benefit tattiem.

CLOSE observers Id the ranks of tUe
medical profession have noted one
very Interesting fact concerning I ha
CLrtstinas season that It generally
ha a good tonic effect upon their pa-
tifiits. In explanation of Ibis the
London Lancet says thae siuce Christ-
mas has come to ba regarded at a
time for good cheer a universal feel-
ing of contentment sad happiness Is
engendered at this time of Joyous-
ness. roudue Is for a while relieved a
certain freshness It given to the dally
round differences of opinion ere sunk
and a charltabU spirit prevails. Is
It by the way. hoping for too much
asks the lancet that the season of
good fellowship should leave some
lasting effect upon the manners and
methods of all?
It may not be easy to trace exactly
why the sense of exhilaration and
well-being comet with the advent of
ChrUtma. for the psychological fac-
tors concerned are not simple. Rut
the main point la thai th mental
state doe eveiybody gOol and the
annual festivity Is Just at ex vllent an
Institution at the prescription of the
physician which gives tone ur.J vigor

Is no need nowadays thank to the J

Many more persons than formerly
feel where u.e end-i and abuse begins
and they act sensibly accordingly; and
ao far from it being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying on a
little extended anle perhaps the
creature comforts of Uf some de
elded good Is done to both (he mental
and physical health of the Individual
The festive season may therefore
be welcomed which brings cheer t.;
thousands which induce the generous

OLD YULETIDE CAROLS
"Holy Night" Regarded as One of
Most Beautiful Songs.
"Draw Niflh Immanuei' One af Old-
est Piacaa and Far Ante-
dates Any Others
TIIK ancient Christina carol. "Holy
Night" Is Herman In it origin
und Is considered by many persons to
be the most bcuutlful of all Christ-
ma carols. It has sometime been
ascribed to Martin Luther but the
consensus of eipert opinion la that it
Is much older than his time and is one
of the oldest of German folk songs.
The carol "(Jod Rest Ye Merry
Gentlemen" Is English In Its origin
and date bnck to about the beginning
of the Seventeenth century although
the author of the words and tho com-
poser of the music are unknown. The
flue old melody sung to this poem pos-
sesses all the best qualifications of a
sterling hymn tune and will probably
last as long aa tho verses with which
It is always associated.
The carol "Draw N'tgu. Immanuei"
It one of the oldest pieces of coherent
music In existence and both the word
and music far antedate any of the oth-
er. The music le an o'd French mel-
ody dated from the Thirteenth cen-
tury although of course. It has been
harmonized to conform with more
modern standards.
There Is a most curious but beauti-
ful musical effect at the close of this
carol. The words of "Draw Nigh Im-
manuei" are about 10i year older
thuu the tuuslc being takeu from the
Mozarabie breviary of tho Twelfth cen-
tury and it Is generally believed that
they were taken from the liturgy of
the early Christian af Toledo. Spalo
where the Morarablc breviary was for-
mulated. Another carol. "The First Noel.''
has a traditional I'renih melody and
probably originated In Rreton al-
though the exact origin of thlt fine old
long la somewhat In doubt.

We Tli a nk You.
We want to thank oil our friends
who huve remembered us with
ChrlHtmns Greetings cards Callend-

la nlco to have such remembrunces.
Everybody receives thorn of course
und we are sure that we are express-
ing all other's appreciation when we
apeak for ourselves.
In the busy humdrum of life'a ac-
tivities we too often forget about
our friends nnd neighbors about us
and forget that little tokens of re-
membrancer mako for lasting friend-
ship und the Chrlatmai season is
the time when all hearts and minds
are turned in that direction.
Wo wish for you aU a very happy
and prosperous New Year that our
heart may be strangely warmed to
each other and that Peace and Qulc-
tudo may be our country's lot in 1922
