! DRILLING j
There are several kinds
ot drilling but the kind
the kind that makes the
farm pay is the drilling
.which makes water avail
able. There is no need
of a dry farm. The task
is not so great as you
may think. I have had
years of experience and
understand the well busi
ness thoroughly.

ANOTHER
AUTO PIH
Frank Lilly, County Judge Henry,
John Collier and Publicity Manager
F. B. Currey. today formed a party
similar to the ones which yesterday
toured the east and south ends' of
the ralley In automobiles, soliciting
exhibits for the county fair. The par
ty went In the Judge's automobile and
visited Imbler, Summervllle and Elgin
before starting on their return home.
The party reported by telephone this
afternoon that general Interest was
taken in the visits to various towns
and cities and that the fair la the
tuning fork of every community.
These trips are inculcative of much
good. The surprising fact which meets
them everywhere is that the rural dis
tricts do not realize how the fair can
be conducted for an admission fee of
la cents. However tnai is tne stand
ard price, and one that will be main
tained throughout.

The u ual symptoms of Scrofula are enlarged glands of the neck,
ores and ulcers on the body, skin affections, catarrhal troubles, weak
eyes, and general poor health. The Inherited poison, transmitted througl.
the blood, pollutes and weakens this fluid, and in place of its nutritivo
Qualities fills the circulation with scrofulous matter, which saps the vitality
of the entiro system. Thousands of children, born with a scrofulous taint,
have spent their childhood in constant physical suffering, and grown to
manhood or womanhood handicapped by ill health and stunted growth,
and Dorhaps later some disease ot tne
given In their early life, would
cleansed and purified the blood of
their systems, and assisted each to grow into strong, healthful manhood
or womanhood. S. 8. S. is the very best remedy for Bcrofula. It goes
down to the bottom of the trouble, and cleanses the circulation of all
scrofulous matter. It supplies the
and health-building qualities, and under the purifying effects of this great
remedy all symptoms of Scrofula pass away. 8. S. S. contains no minerals
In any form, and Is an absolutely safe treatment for children, even Infants,
