itors to tbe Mexicnn fide of the Ulo
Orande are said to bo frequent,
though our party experienced no
serious trouble."

several good hunts.

DONT FUSS WITH
MUSTARDPLASTERS!
Musterole Works Easier, Quicker
and Without the Blister
There's no sense in mixing a mess of
mustard, flour and water when you can
easily relieve pain, soreness or stiffness
with a little clean, white Musterole.
Musterole is made of pure oil of mus-
tard and other helpful ingredients, com-
bined in the form of a pleasant white
■intment. It takes the place of out-of-
latc mustard plasters, and will not blister.
Musterole usually gives prompt relief
from sore throat, bronchitis, tonsilitis,
croup, stiff neck, asthma, neuralgia, head-
ache, congestion, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, pains and aches of the back or
joints, sprains, sore muscles, bruises,
chilblains, froslcd feet, colds of the
-Ufst (it often prevents pneumonia). _

MADE GOOD GUESS.
Chicago,Stork Brokers Advise Custom-
ersiof Probable Peace Offer.
(Xssoctated Fr«s Dlnwtcli )
Chicago, HI., Jan. 5.—On Fee. 11,
nine days before President Wilson Is-
sued his peace note, Thomson & Me-
Kinnon, Chicago stock brokers, mailed
to their customers throughout the
country a printed circular reviewing
conditions In the warring countries of
Europe and suggesting that a move
for peace might be expected at any-
time.
li. W. McKlnnon said the circular
expressed tho opinion of the firm on ,
market conditions and was not based
on any advance Information that i
President Wilson was about to Issue j
a peace note.
"The circular was Issued in the I
regular course of business and was f
mailed to all our customers," said Mr. !
Mi Kinnon. "It was based on our own j
judgment of the situation In Europe j
and not on any Information of what!
President Wilson or any one else
might do. Since we Issued thnt eir-
culur we have been adv ising our cli-
ents to get away from the long side ]
of the market."
Wrong Impression Made.
Mr MeKinnon expressed the opin-|
ion that Congressman Wood had |
placed a w rong construction on nies- j
sages which tho fir m had sent to Its ;
correspondents iu the regular course
of business.
ilo denied ever having sent a mes-
sage to Mr. Hartley, a correspondents
of the firm of Oshkosh, Wis., based on !
advance information that President!
Wilson contemplated the issuance oft
a peace note.
The printed circular issued by the
firm Dec. 11 read in part us follows:
"Under such conditions coupled
with sentiment throughout the world (
in favor of peace, would it be surpris-1
ing if a suggestion from an authorita- |
tive source should meet with a fa-
vorable response from all the war- ■
ring powers?
"We cannot too strongly recom-;
mend to our friends tho advisability
of taking advantage of tho present)
comparative steadiness and strength j
of the market to liquidate all stocks
that are in any way dependent lor,
profits upon the war."

Everything is getting settled down
for business for 1917. Conditions have
held up remarkably well for the past
several weeks, and the New Year is
starting off admirably. It seems that
cotton will command a fairly good price
during the year, and we should enjoy
a more prosperous period even than the
one just closed. A sure way of mak-
ing a good "cleaning" is to provide for
the living expenses right at home.
Debts incurred by the demands of the
dining table knocked a considerable
hole in many cotton crops throughout
the county last year. If you need what
money you have in the bank to carry
you over this year, we will be pleased
to loan you enough to purchase some
milk cows, hogs, chickens, etc. This
sort of program is a protection against
inroads on the igij crop, regardless of
whether it is cotton or grain. Study
the matter over carefully for the next
few days and maybe we can be of
further service to you.
