The drouth is simply fearful. Corn, tobacco, gardens, and in fact everything growing out of the ground is ruined. So many failed to sow wheat last fall, and should the dry spell continue a few days more they will be without bread for their families. Their only show then is to try it again. We have so many good farmers who depend entirely on a tobacco crop for their money, who will be left in a fix, and our stock men who have small herds of cattle, with nothing to take them through the winter. It is a serious matter to the farmer, while our town brothers are also affected, for with the failing of the farmer, so goes it with the town man.

The whole island of New York was originally bought of the Indians for an equivalent of twenty-five dollars. Today New York has a population of 3,500,000, which is exceeded by only one other city—London. Its wealth is enormous; its annual expenditures are more than twice those of the Republic of Mexico, and as much as those of the German Empire with a population of 52,000,000. And it has become the financial center of the world. July Ladies’ Home Journal.

A Cup of Good Coffee
To get a really good cup of coffee you’ll have to start back of the actual making; you’ll have to look to the roasting and the grinding. In ARBUCKLES’ you have a coffee that’s scientifically roasted, and delivered to you with all the pores of the berry hermetically sealed. You’re sure of a good cup of coffee because all the coffee flavor and aroma are kept intact until you want it. The fame of ARBUCKLES’ induced other coffee packers to put out imitations of it. These imitations cost the grocer (and you) a cent a pound less than ARBUCKLES’. But don’t be tempted to buy a package of some other coffee when you can get
Arbuckles’
Roasted Coffee
for it is actually less expensive than the cheap kind; goes further—besides being better flavored, more satisfying.
You will find a list of useful articles in each package or Arbuckles’ Coffee. A definite part of one of these articles becomes yours when you buy the coffee. The one you select from the list will be sent you on condition that you send to our Notion Department a certain number of signatures cut from the wrappers.
