Mattress
This wonderful mattress is
made in Sugar I.and, Texas, the
heart of the finest cotton land in
the world. The long, white,
springy cotton, the choicest of
the Brazos Valley, is blown into
the mattress by a piieumotic
process, where the long cotton
fibres interlace and intertwine,
forming one huge batt, Which is
just sufficiently resilent to con-
form to every curve of the body.
You owe it to yourselves to pro-y
vide the most comfortable place
to sleep. The SEALY will last
twice the time and give twice
the comfort of any other mat-
tress. It gives universal satis-
faction, yet costs no more than
any other pure, cotton mattress.
The T. T. C. will meet Wednesday

Giles.

PLANT LOTS OF COTTON.
The Transcript believes the farmers
of Oklahoma should put in a large
acreage of cotton this year.
They should not decrease the acre-
age of last year, at any rate.
There is going to be a considerable
decrease all over the South and the
1915-1(5 crop will be short—with a big
and ever increasing demand, which
will insure good prices.
Plant lots of cotton.
