THE OLNEY ENTERPRISE—100 Per Cent American
EVERYTHING LOVELY AND
THE GOOSE HANGING HIGH
From the best information ob-
tainable, from the bead sourc-
es from which such information us-
ually emulates, we should say that
the present outlook for bouncing
old fashioned Democratic landslide
in the November election was
never brighter. It seems that
the Democratic Convention
that picked the candidates
at San Francisco ‘ ‘ picked
better than they knew,” and if
they had balloted a month would
in ail probability have named near
so strong a ticket. It has develop-
ed that Cox and Roosevelt are both
live wires; strong, virile, wide-
awake men who never loaf on the
job and ready at a moment’s
notice to give a good account of
themselves. Although official
notification has not been made,
both candidates have been hard at
work, shaping up and making
plans for the coming campaign.
And it’s safe to say that when the
b ill opens the two leaders will be
“on the job,” with guns primed
and loaded and lockers filled with
ammunition, guaranteed to kill
and cripple and bring home the
bacon!
Governor Cox is comparatively a
young man and has worked his
own way up from the foot of the
ladder to the top. He had no such
advantages as his competitor en-
joyed under the protecting wing
and fostering hand of the Tate
“Boss” Marcus Aurelius Hanna!
for it was under the auspices of
Boss Hanna’s regime that Senator
Harding, with his newspaper,
began his political career.
From all accounts, the choice
for second place on the ticket
could not be improved on. As in
the case of Governor Cox, Mr.
Roosevelt is a young man, and is
holding a position in Mr. Wilson’s
cabinet. He is a New Yorker by
birth and residence, and ever since
reaching his majority has held
positions of importance and res-
ponsibility, mainly with the Gov-
esnment. He is a forceful and at-
tractive speaker, and said to be
well able to keep his end up in any
controversy. It is planned"'that he
and_ Governor Cox will divide up
the country when the campaign
opens.
Everything looks good to us.
The Democrats go into the fight
under conditions that are excep-
tionality favorable. They have a
strong ticket, a weak and vulner-
able foe, who have furnished all
the cause and ammunition neces-
sary to win a glorious victory.
A BEAR CAT
company him to the city.
No words were exchanged be-
tween the two as they motored
down in pa’s old boat that had
seen six years of sensible service.
Pa was at the wheel. He calm-
ly drew up in front of a prominent
Dallas department store. He and
son went in. He inquired for the
proprietor, who was an old friend
of the family. The proprietor was
not available at once and they were
told to wait five minutes.
While they were waiting, son ar-
rived at the conclusion that pa was
going to buy him four or five hun-
dred polka dot ties to match his new
car, so he put in five minutes paw-
ing through the tie boxes. Present-
ly Mr. Sanger came up and greeted
pa warmly,then pa said,“ Alex,this
mionkey headed boy of mine is back
from the university with his sheep
skins. I have given him an A. B. at
Texas University and a full law
course to top it offf.Now I will give
you a hundred dollars to tolerate
him at your button counter. I am
Avilling to pay that much just to
find out if he has brains enough
to sell collar buttons.”
Alex took it all in at a glance.
He couldn’t turn down his old
friend. He smiled approvingly
and agreed.
“Take off your cap,” said pa to
son—and son took off his cap.
As the floor walker led son away
toward the button counter pa ele-
vated his voice slightly and an-
nounced: “Don’t be afraid to
treat him rough, he’s a BEAR
CAT!”—Pitchfork.
No matter how you look at it,
or from what angle, there has
nothing even been discovered yet
that is better to tie to than the
Fatherhood of God, the Brother-
hood of Man and the Gospel of
Sunshine. Even if there is nothing
mjuch to it, as torpid-livered pes-
simists claim, it’s good anyhow.

PREPARE TO HELP
HANDLE TEN MIL-
LION BALES OF COT-
TON THIS YEAR
The oldest son of a Dallas bus-
iness man returned from a certain
university last month. He came
back a graduate and ready to em-
bark on his lifes work. The first
thing he did was to convince his
father that he needed an automo-
bile. He did this by first eonvhicing
his mother, then the two of them
laid down a barrage and attacked
the old man. He soon surrendered,
but inssisted that he wouldn’t put
up over $1,500 for a car. Instead of
buying a modest priced - car and
paying for it in cash, the enterpris-
ing young graduate paid the $1,500
down (and gave notes for the bal-
ance) on a low-slung, rakish look-
ing automobile that could digest
ninety miles of country roads in ex
actly one hour by his wrist watch.
The first time that son settled the
gasoline hound at the front gate
pa took a squint at it and snarled.
7: it ma settled him and made him
control his great surging feelings.
That night son took his benzine
buggy and burnt up the roads for
forty miles to a house, where “the
grown up ladies act like babies ’ ’
and corn licker was to be had in
abundance at $10 per. He got home
at 4 a. m. feeling bully. The next
morning before pa finished his
grape fruit, a sign painter appear-
ed in the back yard and son show-
ed him the exact spot on the side of
the car to paint the words.
Ma was beginning to get a little
nervous. Her sex instinct seemed to
tell her that an explanation was
due somwhere along the line.
Pa silently continued from grape
fruit to oat meal, thence to a bacon
and egg omlette with dry toast,
thence to black coffee and a cigar.
Son was the. only mortal on the
place that wasn’t alarmed.
Pa walked to the back door and,
looking toward the garage, observed
son’s new car. On the side of the car
was fresh paint and the fresh
paint spelled: “BEAR CAT.”
Pa was so mad he wouldn’t trust
himself to talk. He was as calm
as the haze on the rim of an indian
summer afternoon. He was a pow
erful man, made in the old days
when God made a speicality of
making Men. He was afraid to kill
son for fear ma might cry. With
his jaw set like a vice he called son
told him to get his hat and ac-
The Government estimates this
year’s cotton crop at ten million
bales. Prepare to help handle this
enormous crop. It requires from
four to six weeks to qualify. If
you act quickly you can be ready.
We have the largest and best
equipped Sample Room in the
State, with a solid glass wall on
the north to afford light. This
room was constructed especially
for teaching the cotton work. There
.being such a difference in the
grades of cotton and with the ever
increasing demand for help along
this line, young men and women
should prepare themselves im-
mediately. When we say women,
we say so based on the fact that
there are several women taking
our cotton classing, realizing what
an opportunity is open to them and
the State admits women to the Cot-
ton Examination the same as men.
A special summer course is given
for $40.00, including tuition
samples and material for Cotton
grading.
An exchange declares the cocktail
is 76 years old. We never saw one
get over ten minutes old, and gen-
erally nine and a half minutes less
than that.
In sizing up the presidential pos-
sibilities it looks like newspaper
men are getting to be almost as
popular as lawyers in politics.
“Think of last winter and lay in
your fuel supply,” says and ex-
change. How in heck can anybody
think of winter in weather like
this?

prepare for the coming cotton sea-
son, write, wire or ’phone for in-
