BOLL *WH,
Aii investigation into the bull wee v.
il situation in the south by the At
lanta Constitution has revealed the
fact, it is asserted, that the guinea
is a foe of tile weevil, and that a
flock of twenty will ordinarily pro
tect a many acres from ravages by
thi- j test. Investigation has disclosed
that where the cotton farmer main
tniiied guineas that he has invariab
!v raised a crop of cotton every year.
As the weevil invaded the greater
part of Oklahoma last year and i-
expected to make its appearance again
the coining season, a flock of guineas
would be cheap crop insurance to the
cctton rai*s*r

THE SUNFLOWER
Oh. emblem of that Kansas soil
On which a hardy band doth' toil!
With head held high and haughty mien
On highway, meadow you are seen.
Your head with every morn is turned.
The hazy west by you is spurned.
The red-faced sun doth call to you
And always to him you are true.
And with its parting rays, your head
Is bowed in mute servility
Did I say mute Xo that misled;
It peaks in sweet tranquility

CHEWING
TOBACCO
Penn's spells quality.
Why?
Because—
Penn's i9 packed air-
tight in the patented
new coniainer — the
quality i9 sealed in.
So Penn's 19 always fresh
— an entirely new idea for
chewing tobacco.
Have you ever really
chewed fresh tobacco?
Buy Penn's the next time.
Try it. Notice the fine con-
dition.
And after that, use fresh
chewing tobacco — Penn's.
