with fact you will find that there
is little or nothing to it. The
truth is—altough we will rarely
admit it—the most of us are ruled
by our prejudices and when reason
and intelligence clash with preju-
dice the latter is pretty sure to win
out. Ask the avergage man why
he is a democrat or a republican
and you will discover that prejudice
and not reason is responsible for
his affiliations. Try to argue with
him and you will encounter a
leaven of faith or a leaven of logic
which can be swept away, but
dominating all there is a leaven of
prejudice which cai not^be pene-
trated. Ask the average man why
he belongs to a particular religious
sect and learn how little affiliations
due to study, observation or con-
viction and how much they are
based on precedent and prejudice.
And in every act in life, our busi-
ness dealings with our fellowmen
and our social relations also, pre-
judice always sways us, although
we' are often unconscious of it.

Housework Drudgery
Housework is drudgery for the weak woman. She brush-
es, dusts and sorubs, or is on her feet nil day attending to
the many details of the household, her back aching, her
temples throbbing, nerves quivering under the stress of
pain, pdssibly dizzy feelings. Sometimes rest in bed is
not refreshing, because the poor tired nerves do not per-
mit of refreshing sleep. The real need of weak, nervous
women is satisfied by Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription.
It Makes Weak Women Strong
and Sick Women Well,
This •• Prescription •• removes the cause
ot women’s weaknesses, heals Inflam-
mation and ulceration, and cures those
weaknesses so peculiar to women. It
tranculllzes the nerves, encourages the
appetite and Induces restful sleep.
Dr. Pierce is perfectly willing to let every one know what
his “ Favorite Prescription” contains, a complete list of
ingredients on the bottle-wrapper. Do not let any unscrup-
ulous druggist persuade you that his substitute of unknown
composition is “ just as good” in order that he may make
a bigger profit. Just smile and shake your head I

The census report for Texas has
been handed out. It shows Jack
county to have a population of
11,817 against the population of
1900 of 10,224, a gain of 1593 in-
habitants. Wise county lost a few,
Young county a little more than
doubled. Young now has 13,657.
Parker county only gained about
500, Montague about 300 gain. Clay
county nearly doubled. Archer
county a little more than doubled.
The reason for the gain in Youny,
Clay and Archer counties is that
many of the big ranches have been
cut up and sold to actual settlers
during the last ten years.
Read the article entitled Some-
thing Still More About Grass, in
this issue, written by Mr. J. C.
Jones. The way to get the things
he speaks of is just to go ahead and
do it. It can be done. As he says it
takes united effort.lt also takes the
enthusiastic and concentrated
work of one earnest man at the
head of it. None of this will in<
terfere with the idea that the News
has been presenting. That is, to
put the rough and broken timber
lands of Jack county in bermuda
grass. Three fourths of the farms
in Jack county are in the timber
l win, * The smooth part of the
lands are in farms, the rest in
most cases, though costing from ten
to thirty dollars an acre is earning
practically nothing This land
could be but in grasses that would
be earning from one to six dollars
an acre. This land could all be put
in, too, at times when there is lit-
tle else to do, by the labor that is
already on the farm. It could be
put in gradually, the op*-n spaces
first, a little could be put in every
year which could be increased as
the stock increased. Will you be a
pioneer in this new idea.
You often have heard it said

To The Mothers of Jacksboro.
I desire to call special attention
to the address to be made before
the teachers Institute Wednesday
Dec. 21at 11 a. m. by Dr. J. A.
Rickies. We have recently organi-
zed the Mothers club in our town,
object, the mental, moral and phy-
sical development of the child in
both home and school.
The physical development of
children has been and is today sad-
ly neglected in too many ways.
The subject upon which Dr
Rickies will address yon is one of
equal importance to man and child
It is one of the special subjects in
which the mothers club is interest-
ed and shall endeavor to bring be-
fore the parents of Jacksboro in an
earnest plea for better sanitary,
better physical conditions.
The ladies of the Mothers Club
or Parent and Teacher’s association
are to be congratulated in sucuring
Dr. Rickies as a member and his
profession renders his services to
us invaluable in thjs particular
work upon which he will address
you, and in which the mothers club
is so deeply interested.
I earnestly solicit your presence
on this particular occasion. Will
you not join us in this effort for
the betterment of your own and
your children’s welfare. “In union
there is strength.” We need you

came ill last Friday and grew rap-
idly worse in spite of the efforts of
his physican, who had been in at-
tendance constantly until his death.
Mr. Stoddard was employed at
the Langley Grocery company, and
was one of the most popular men in
the employ of that company. He
was 48 years of age and is survived
by a wife, two daughters, Miss
Jewell Stoddard and Miss Bettie
Stoddard and a son, T. A. Stoddard.
The remains were taken to the Mc-
Carthy Mortuary parlors and the

A stopped clock is right twice a day. You will be right all of the tim
if you pay your bills by check. There is no chance of a dispute over a
settlement, if you have a checking account with us, and pay your
obligations by check. Each check is a receipt, as the endorsement on
•the back of the check is evidence that the partjl received the money.
A CHECKING ACCOUNT insures you from paying a bill twice;
gives you a record of your business, and put system into your trans-
actions. Whether large or small your account will be appreciated by
us. Make our Bank your headquarters when in town. Your private
dapers kept free of cost in the vault.
