Condensed Statement of Condition, February SO, 1912
Mr. Worldly Wise-man knows he can’t get something for nothing.
The most artful craftsman couldn’t make a silk ptirse out of a cotton
rag. It takes quality to make quality, ^ just like it ^takes two, and
test^yles and the highest grade tailoring it is possible to put into
v clothes. They have all wool fabrics as their basis and this basic
idea, of worth is followed, throughout. Garbed in “Benjamin and

0 TWE DEMOCRATS OF TEXAS.
The election of a Democrat to the
residency is of/ too much importance
1 the welfare of the country, and par-
cujarly to the South, for us to permit
lathing other than substantial issues
^‘determine our attitude between
^mocratic presidential candidates.
In Texas, where our Democratic ma-
►rity is reliably great, we are apt to
idulge in personal politics at the ex-
ense of serious and-fundamental is-
ahd that you write us or see
scnally at the Woodrow Wjlsoi
Headquarters, Southland Hotel,
which we have opened up ted

too sure—over-confidence is always
a dangerous condition.
If Texas is to send a; Wilson dele-
gation to the National Convention, we
must have not only the loyal support
but also the active and aggressive co-
operation of “'Wilson tor President”
Democrats in every part of the state.
Yours and ours must be a patriotic
service—a free-will offering for the,
public weal.
We are conducting the Wilson cam-
paign in Texas in the most frugal1'
manner, for we have practically no
funds. *
All of the small expense thus far in-
curred has been contributed by a few
Texans who regard the election of
Gdv. Wilson to the presidency as the
greatest possible assurance of the per-
petuity of the real genius of our in-
stitutions and the prosperity of our
entire citizenship—-a government fn
both theory and practice without dis-
crimination in favor of or against any,
but in fact, for all alikq. ’ ' j

Once again we find in almost every
neighborhood some blackened field
where the foolish farmer has burnt off
the grass and vegetable matter wifh
which nature was seeking to enrich
his famished fields. When will opr
people learn that only through this
burmus—this decaying vegetable
matter—can any field be enriched with
out expense to the owner? And as
hundreds of thousands of dollars’
worth of this invaluable form of fer-
tilizer will be converted into smoke
and ashes before planting time. Well

farmers should “use less flue and more

Progressive Farmer.

One of the saddest things in Ills is
to see a man with many attainments
burdened with financial troubles, while
all about him are people with more
money than they can spend, Incapable
of an uplifting thought and4 void of
lofty sentiment. After all, we must be-
lieve that the blessings of life are fair*
ly equally distributed, and no man has
a monoply of all the good things.
Mental attainments are in themselves
comforts and blessings, and wealth
has its own reward.—J. R. Ransome,
Jr., in Cleburne Enterprise.
