FARMERS LOSE A . FRIEXD
t' v.a lonth nf W. P. Proctor at
College Station this week the farm-
ers. of Texas lost one of their best
friends. For many years he had been
in -charge of the farm demonstration
work-in Toxas and as head of this
great work was instrumental in
bringing about improved conditions
on farms throughout the state.
Mr. Proctor was a quiet unassum
inir man who never for a minute for-'
ing mau u 4
got that his main mission was to
spread the gospel of diversification
and to teach the methods of improved
farming which have been tested and
found good. His was a personality
-which made of all the farm demon
stration organizations in Txas'a
-working force which was in perfect
harmony and worked in perfect ac-
cord With the director.. As a person-
al and lifelong friend of Dr. Bradford
Knapp originator of the farm demon-
stration plan Mr. Proctor "was thor-
' oughly acquainted with the ideas and
Ideals of Dr. Knapp and through his
efforts there has come a more gener-
. al understanding of the system of
farm demonstration throughout the
state. His death will be a serious
blow to the organization but thanks
to his steady work during the past
twelve years the great work will go
on. and continue to succeed?

The most beggarly truth is richer

terest and principal.
It Is true that
Christ never took a mortgage; but
He never lent any money either. Ho
once sent out a company to preach
His Gospel ami bade them take no
purse. But He afterward told those
same people to take a purse If they
were fortunate enough to possess one.
The conditions have changed mightily
since He gave His instruction to His
disciples. Economics then were un
known as a science. The fact of the
matter Is that money is as much a
commodity as any other thing bought
and sold. If it Is right that a man
should dfcrge for the hire of a team.
It la aMniv rich! that he should
charge xpr the use of money where-
witn a team was nougiu ior use. uue
cannot afford to givo at all times
and to all lengths and It Is right that
security should be taken In cases
where the money cannot be given. It
is no imputation on tho borrower's in
tegrity. There are a hundred things
failure to accomplish "that for which
the money was borrowed death and
so forth against which the security
is a defense. The old Hebrew wasv
forbidden to deep a pledge over night;'
such a provision in these times and
under the condition of them Is sim-
ply impossIbVc. There is a Christian
rule that will cover the whole thing:
"Whatsoever ye would that men
should do unto you do you oven so
to them." To take a mortgage is not
wrong; to enforce a mortgage oppres-
sively or dishonestly is wrong; and it
makes no difference whother tho
holder of the mortgage is "sky-pilot".

Too 3Tany Felonies?.
The Brown county grand." jury
worked" twelve days and returned to
the court thirty-eight indictments
twenty-two felonies and sixteen mis-
demeanors. Mighty ugly for our
neighbors. Ballinger Ledger.
Be it said to the credit of Bron
county that many of the felony In-
dictments returned by the grand jury
were charges against Mexicans and
that the Mexicans so charged have
already been convicted and sentenced.
Brown county is as peaceable and
law-abiding as any other county in
the state but during the past year an
unusually large number of Mexicans
have stopped In the county long
enough to get Into mischief.
Cooperative Shipping.
Farmers of Brown county are
combining their shipments' of live-
stock to the foreign markets and find
it profitable. A recent shipment of
hogs brought the owners more than
three thousand dollars and there
were nearly forty shippers represent-
ed in the cargo which mrfde three1
cars. Cooperative marketing Is made
to pay as does cooperation in al-
most anything we may undertake.
Lampasas shippers may learn a les-
son from others. Lampasas Leader.
It is hoped that during the coming
year Brown county farmers may ar-
range for cooperative shipments of-
other products kof the farm. The hog
Bhipplng club has demonstrated the
fact that this system of shipping
means money to the producers and
there is no reason why the system
can not be extended to Include all
sorts of farm products a3 well) as

-Boosting the Town.
. Some towns adopt one scheme to
get on the map and some another. It
seems that Brown wood has selected
the Dallas way of doing things. High-
way robbers relieved a peanut dealer
of 300 in the bayou city last week
and a few days later robbed a livery
stable man of fifty cents. We advise
our friends to. not go out at night
when they go to Brownwood keep
good company and don't carry any
money with you. Ballinger Ledger.
Bro.whwood didn't select the Dallas
way of. doing things; It was wished
onto us arid we wlllr be glad o give it
up. Ballinger may have full title to

The Preacher's Business.
The Parson in the Brownwood Bul-
letin is discussing the 'question:
"Should a preacher loan money on a
mortgage?" Our opinion hasn't been
asked but we are going to butt In
and say this much anyhow. The
preacher who has accumulated enough
money to loan and hasn't enough faith
In his fellowman to loan it without a
chattel- mortgage ought to quit
preaching. He's not in position to J
present the full gospel of the Mas-
ter. Mineral Wells Index.
Ninety-nine preachers in every
hundred have no money to loan either
with or without a mortgage. But
If there be a preacher anywhere who
wants to loan his money we see no
reason why he 'should not Tequire a
mortgage or other approved security
for the loan. Preachers are required
to meet the same business conditions
as confront all other men. They can
not borrow money without giving se-
curity. It Is no evidence of distrust
in a fellow man to ask him to give
security for a loan; It is a simple bus-
iness transaction and a preacher or
any other man who does not observe
the rules of business soon has no
business to look after.
Eliminating Waste.

Germany has given the world an
object lesson ln the art of eliminating
waste. Texans are too wasteful; they
waste their lands they waste their
crops they waste their opportunities.
If all of Texas were cultivated as in-
tensively as are the German farms
Texas could feed the United States.

more Intensive farming in Texas such
as there has been in Germany for
many years it "will be very difficult to

The tenant farmer like everyoth-
er citizen must be given adequate
protection against oppression. But
he must be made to understand that
he is largely responsible for his own
welfare and that if he would suc-
ceed he must work at his own salva-
tion. The man who owns land has a
right to do with it as he pleases; tie
thrifty tenant recognizes this fact and
soon owns some land of his own.
Brownwood Bulletin.
The tenant proposition is one that
we have not solved. It we had our
way about it every man who works
on land would be encouraged to own
enough of it for a home the home
to have a garden and a place for
ducks hogs chickens and a little
room in which a horseshoe game
could be played. We further belief
yiat rich men-who have the interest
of humanity at heart should put In
eight hours a day bringing about this
condition. That is our solution of the
tenant proposition. We mar take the
stump on that subject yet Not that
we care anything for the man who
rents land it is the women and chil
dren who have our sympathy. Tem
