es-
Hardeman county, and
pecially the Chillicothe end of
the county, bids fair to come up
with a bumper crop.
The first Texas cantaloupes to
arrive on the Chicago market
the other day brought $25 a crate
of fifty-four melons.
Good Reading for Parents.
Where does your boy spend
his evenings? This is a question
that should interest every father
and mother of this town. We
don't know whether it is your
boy or not, but there are several
who spend most of their time
loafing on the streets until a very
late hour. There are some parents
boys and should have a little
training before the habit of
loafing becomes so enticing that
they cannot iquit it. Loafing is
classed among the worst habits
that can come into a bov's life.

In one of our neighboring
schools the teacher was instruct-

person's writing or draw infor
mation from outside sources.
boy might have been a different
character. Our American parent
is frequently governed by false
modesty. The boy and girl of to-
day should be advised as to all
of the problems of life which
they must face sooner or later.
Let mothers take their daughters
into their confidence. Let fathers
talk frankly to their sons. It is
not necessary to be severe with
children, but it is to be careful
with them. Guided in the right
direction the average boy and
girl will tide over the dangerous
period of life and will become
As a result of this advice, one
bright young lad turned in the
following: "We should not at-
tempt any flights of fancy, but
write what is in us. In me there
is my stomach, lungs, liver, two
apples, one piece of pie, one stick
of lemon candy and my dinner."

Mistakes will be made. The
American boy in the formative
period is inclined to be a little
wild, but this does not indicate
that he will be a failure in life.
It is the natural impulse to be
wild. Properly advised and prop-
erly guided the wild oats are
quickly scattered and the whole-
some, healthy boy is the result.
The moral influence of home is
the making of the man. Educa-
tion is a great help, but the in-
fluence of a patient mother is
the greatest help of all. No boy
is so hopelessly bad that he can
not be saved. The reform insti-
tutions of the country are doing
a splendid work. They are re-
boys who have gone

in Hardeman County.
The Farmers' Union has been
conducting an exhaustive inves-
tigation into agricultural con-
ditions with reference to the cost
of producing and value received
for farm crops with a view of
recommending a substitute for
cotton, as that industry is al-
ready suffering from over-pro-
duction. In discussing the sub-
'ject, President Radford of the
, Union said: "The Lord made the
J greater part of Texas a cotton
'country and it will always re-
main the money erop of Texas
so long as the farmer markets
his crop direct from the harvest
field, but I believe with plenty
of good livestock and a silo a
farmer can successfully raise
feed stuff and he will be justified
in planting less cotton and rais-
ing more livestock."
The Federal census reports
show that we have 14,080,936
head of livestock in Texas, and
96 per cent of our farms reported
domestic animals.
There were 1047 farms in
Hardeman county that reported
livestock when the Thirteenth
census was taken, according to a
report just issued by the Fed-
eral department of Commerce
and Labor and the total number
of domestic animals on these
farms numbered 25306, which
has a combined value of $1,005,-
1151. Cattle is the predominating
class of livestock in this county,
as shown by the following table:

The man who has enemies
amounts to something. He is a
live man. He is a fighter. ^People
don't kick a corpse. A live man
can swim against the |current; a
corpse floats down without hin-
drance. One's enemies make life
worth the living.—Sunset News.
Still, it is not a good idea to
put in too much effort to make
enemies. Making friends is the
better idea and it is just as easy.

Thank God! some of us have
an old-fashioned mother. Not a
woman of the period, painted
and enameled, with all her so-
ciety manners and the dresses
whose white, jeweled hands
never felt the clasp of baby
fingers, but a dear old-fashioned
mother with a sweet voice, eyes
into whose clear depth the love
light.shone, and brown hair, just
threaded with silver, lying
smooth upon her faded cheek.
Those dear hands, worn with
toil, gently guided our steps in
childhood and smoothed bur
cheeks in sickness, ever reaching
oat to us in yearning tendrness.
Blessed is the memory of an old-
fashioned mother. It floats to us
like the beautiful perfume of
some wood blossoms. The music
of their voices may be lost, but
the enchanting memory of her
will echo in our soul forever. —
