would live and die in the shad-

should not the same farsighted
sagacity be applied to the selec-
tion of your dairy stock! Too
many people are content to buy
dairy stock and trust to quantity
to produce the financial returns.
Their expectations are seldom
realized. Quantity is quantity,
but it is quality that brings the
price. Quantity, in fact, is one
of the underlying results of quali-
ty, aud the man who keeps up j
the quality invariably reaps the |
reward of both quality and quan-
tity. There is no economy, no
spirit of thrift, in buying cheap
dairy stock, for a cheap cow.

The title to your home is no strong-

should you hereafter decide to sell, or

the question of your title will become a

A great many people view Car- j
ranza's present role of “good:
Indian” with suspicion, and reas-1
onably so. Carranza is tottering
on his throne. His power is on
the wane. His army is dis-
gruntled and his generals are dis-
satisfied and defiant. And there's
a reason. The self-styled first
chief is out of money, and with-
out money or loot or the prospect
thereof the Mexican does . not
fight. He prefers to loll around
in the sun and smoke cigarettes.
There appears to be but one
source from which the Mexiean
government can seiure the financ-

so distressingly in need. That is j
from the United States. And we.1

Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky.
“It certainly has no equal for la grippe, bad colds,
liver and stomach troubles. I firmly believe Black-Draught
saved my little girl’s life. When she had the measles,
