The rule of “marry in haste, and re-

according to divorce statistics, “marry

For the past half century cotton has
enagaged the brightest intellects of
the world In science and commerce
and many of its problems are only
half solved. The Inventive minds of
tha universe have pored over its fibre:
merchant princes have studied its mar
kets and the ablest financiers have
fought to fix ifs value.

sistent, steady worker who recog-
nises no semblance of failure and who

The free list bill now before Con-

will get bis tools, vehicles, wire fenc-

The cotton field has aroused the in-
ventive genius of the country and It is

numerous forms on all markets of the

That "truth crushed to earth will
rise again,” has been fully demon-
strated in the Alaska coal and land

Cotton is by far the most Suable of
our farms products. In 1910 we har-
vested 10,530,000 acres of cotton, mak-
ing 3,140,000 bales valued at $219,
656,000. The increase in yield In 1910
over 1909 was 24 pounds per acre. The
crop of the United States in 1910 was
11,426,000 ttales.

Now that copious rains have fallen
in practically every portion of the
county it would not be amiss to plant
fall crops of turnips and Irish potatoes.
Both do well in Parker county soil and
go a long way toward providing sus

Why need the farmers of Parker
county complain of hard times when
they can earn $66 per acre raising
melons, and can raise melons that will
take world premiums at the big fairs.
One Parker county farmer has made
as high as $109 per acre In one year
raising melons. Come to Parker
county and grow more and better
melons.

The Rock Island railway company
has adopted a slogan: "Save a nickle
a day for the company,” for its em-
ployes to follow. They also advise
countesy on the part of their employes
to patrons of the company, but they
have never made any provision for ice
water to throw any the faces of those
who faint, because of the supposed
countesy they are to receive at the
hands of the employes.

Runnels is one of the few counties
in the state where not a pro or anti
speech has been made during the pres-
ent campaign for state-wide prohibi-
tion, and they have announced that
none will be made. Runnels recently
underwent a strenuous local option
campaign and has had a surfeit of
oratory, proscription, Intolerance and
the other things that go to make up a
genuine campaign of this nature.

The state average of cotton produc-
tion per acre 1910 was 149 pounds, the
lint selling for $20.86 and the seed at
$3.77 making a total average produc-
tion per acre of $24.63. Comparing
with this the leading agricultural prod-
ucts of other states, we find corn in
Illinois producing $14.85 per acre
wheat in Kansas $11.93 per acre and
oats In Iowa $10.20 per acre; these

Is Texas never to be free from in-
vasion by the pests of the Mexican
Republic? First the peons who at-
tempted to subjugate her, then the de-
tested boll weevil, and now the feath-
ered pest. Perhaps we would do well
to build an Insurmountable wall along
the Rio Grande, but then the ding-
blasted birds would fly over, and the
Chinese smugglers and other undesir-
ables would doubtless charter aero-
planes.

We can see no safe or sane reason
why Representative Randell’s bill to
forbid any public servant from accept-
ing fees, favors, or other reward, re-
compense or remuneration from pub-
lic service corporations should not
become a law? Is it impossible to
throw wholesome restrictions around
our officials, without stepping upon
some one’s toe? If so we should re-
move the toes, and strengthen the re-

Election of senators by direct vote
of the people, which Is now held up In
Congress by an amendment supported

Never shrink from a duty.
Some men bad rather be obstinate

Many people waste time enough to
earn a fortune.
Adversity, tho’ a severe task master,
is a great teacher.
Faithfulness and sincerity never fail

Courage next to honor is the great-

‘The straight and narrow path" is

Of all the obtuse propositions in the

Many a good cause has gone to the

The Texas Nut Company at Denison

that when completed, will hold 30,000
bushels of peanuts. The warehouse is
over a hundred feet long and fifty feet
wide and will be constructed of gal-
vanized Iron and will be fireproof. In-
dications are that the peanut crop will
be the largest 1n the history of the
state this year. The acreage has been
Increased 500 per cent over last year

Brownsville has organized a Deep
Water Association and is falling in
line with the movement now on for
deep water at many places along the
Texas coast. Brownsville depends
largely upon overland shipments to
get her products to market, but the
citizens of that place are determined
to continue In their efforts until they
secure one of the most profitable wat-
erways in the country. Texas is a
world's factor In commerce, and the
opening up and improvement of our
ports will greatly lower the cost of
transportation. ' .
A doer of things Is worth a barn
lot of those who merely tell how It
should be done.
Funny isn’t It. The more a man
thinks he knows about a woman, the
less he really knows.
A fond mother is not always com-
plimentary when she tells her “young
hopeful” he is just like his papa.
Some mules know more than some
men—they at least know when to go
ahead and when to stop, if told.
An exchange says three of the great-
est drawbacks to East Texas “is pine
timber, bad roads and d—d laziness.”
Don’t “scratch” is a pert saying, but
a “plow deep” Is a good motto for
the business man as well as the far-
mer.
When once started upon the road to
success, you will have plenty to offer
aid, but you must make the start your-
self.
Be guarded In what you say. Oft
times you may say that which will do
you no good, and others a great deal
of harm.
Fort Worth, always dirty, gave her
park streams and lakes a soap bath,
Saturday. Thats another way of
"cleaning up.”
Some philosopher has defined the
“real good fellow” as one who “buys
more drinks for his friends than shoes
for his children.”
Do you suppose the showers which
are falling more frequently as we ap-
proach the 22nd, are an indication as
to the result of the election?
It is impossible to climb to the top-
most rung of the ladder with your
hands In your pockets, or while re-
clining on flouny beds of ease.
‘Tit for Tat” is a game whose prin-
ciples are exactly opposite to those
of the Golden Rule, and oftener proves
boomerang than otherwise. Try the
golden rule.
What do you owe the town or com-
munity in which you live and earn a
living for those dependent upon you?
Do you consistently do your duty In
this respect?
Why will millionaires, near million-
aires, and others continue to write
letters to girl friends, only to have
them rise up In their face as ghosts
of their past sins and follies?
In the eyes of a certain Texas "or-
gan,” Reciprocity is the pet measure
of a Republican President and should
be defeated, notwithstanding It Is In
the interest of the common people and
inimical to the trusts.
Some local election enthusiasts claim
a majority of from 10,000 to 70,000 In
the coming battle of ballots, and it
depends altogether as to which side he
belongs as to who will win. So much
for “knowing you're right" and going
ahead.

$606,000,000—the most powerful and
gigantic in tha world—which owns and
operates the American Bell Telephone
Company, tha Postal Telegraph-Cable
Company and the Western Union Tele-
graph Company. Theodore N. Vail, of
Boston, is president of this gigantic
corporation, and says he Is In favor of
the control of all public utilities by the
people, thru commissions, elected for
the purpose. Judge Gary of the Steel
Trust also claims to assume a like
position, altho operating one of the
greatest monopolies known to the civ-
ilized world. The mere fact that these
gentlemen favor and advocate the con-
trol of public utilities by commission
should mske the average man suapici-
ous. Perhaps they figure it would be
cheaper to corrupt and control a few
members of a commission of say three,
five or seven, than the different legis-
latures and the different members of
congress.

Lest we forget allow us to remark
it is not yet too late to make that
proposed auto trade trip to the coun-
try. It won’t cost a great deal and
would do much to attract trade to
Weatherford this fall. If you want
business you should ask for it, and
go out after it Unlike water, trade
will not seek a level, but will go
where the strongest effort is made to
pull it, for instance—note the success
of the large mail order houses. Let’s
organize an auto trade trip. Go out
among our people and mix and min-
gle, and get thoroughly acquainted
with them. Study their needs, and
show them we are their friends, and
that their success means our success,
—that we are dependent upon them
and want their friendship and good
will. The columns of the Herald are
open for discussion of the question.
Make free use of them.

Mr. and Mrs. Chester Marston were
recently married in Bonham, and kind
friends, sollcltus as to their welfare,
the bridal tour supposedly being their
first trip away from home and the
parental roof, had a number of circu-
lars printed, which they scattered at
the train, requesting the passengers
and all with whom they came In con-
tact to entertain and amuse them, for
fear they might get lonesome In each
other’s company while presumably
playing hands, reading the old, old
story In each others eyes, and whisp-
ering silly nothings In each others
ears. But read the circular as print-
ed: “NOTICE—NEWLY-WEDS. This
Is to notify you that Mr. and Mrs.
Chester Marston, (newly-weds) are on
this train. Anything done for their
amusement and pleasure will be ap-
preciated by their friends at Bonham.”

The Northern Texas Traction Com-

the different interurban stations be-
tween Dallas and Ft. Worth, and to
this end has employed an experienced
land scape gardener. The spirit of
civic attractiveness Is taking hold all
over this great state and well It should,
for It goes a long way toward creating
a love of the beautiful In nature, and
make all who see and enjoy better
men and women. The great Dallas
News has done, and is still doing, much
toward promoting civic pride, and an
esthetic taste among the people of the
southwest and is to be commended for
Its efforts along this line.
