—A new shipment just came in to replenish our former as-
sortment which sold so quickly.
—These new fabrics will make up into just YOUR kind of
dresses—the ones that look most attractive even after they
have been tubbed dozens of times.
—The new patterns and colors are delightful—they are
worth a special trip of inspection to the store, even though
you don’t need any wash goods right away. But we know
when you see them and compare our pffices, that your judg-
ment of beauty and sense of economy will prompt immediate

ISSUE WARNING
FOOD CROPS IN THE SOUTH
MUST BE LARGELY IN-
CREASED.
Bonham, Tex., April 11, 1917.
To the Farmers of Fannin County:
Alarming conditions confront us as
a result of the war. The South has
been fed largely from the west and
north, but this year we must feed
ourselves because all the western and
northern food supply will be required
for the armies.
There will be wide-spread suffering
in' the South before the year ends if
food crops are not heavily increased.
The only way to avert this great ca-
lamity is for every, farmer to raise
plenty of feed for man and beast.
Don’t be deceived by the present
high price of cotton. Cotton may
bring 25c next fall, but if you have to
buy corn at $2.00 a bushel and flour
at $4.00 a sack and bacon at 50c per
pound and other things in proportion,
your cotton crop will not go as far in
purchasing power as it did when cot-
ton sold for 8 and 10 cents. Food is
scarce and high the world over, and
food crops are sure to bring high
prices this year.
The undersigned banks of Bonham
have no “ax to grind” in this matter
and are only offering the above sug-
gestions from a sincere desire to save
their customers and friends from an
impending calamity.
Think this over, and you will decide
to cut your cotton acreage and in-
crease your feed crops.
Yours very truly,
Fannin County National Bank.
First State Bank.

VERY FINE RAINS
FALL AROUND HERE
WHEAT, OATS, CORN AND GAR-
DENS GREATLY BENEFITTED
BY RAINFALL.
A magnificent rain fell in this vicin-
ity yesterday, followed by more rain,
last night. The rain was not accom-
panied by any evil effects, such as
hail and a norther, and things can al-
most be seen to grow today.
Farmers had begun to complain
that rain was badly needed for oats,
and what wheat that is planted
around here had begun to look as if it
would die on account of ho moisture,
but the rains came just at the right
time to help everything.

“I want to tell you what wonderful benefit I have re-

liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
they went in on her, but onex good dose of Thedford’s
Black-Draught made them break out, and she has had no
