IN ADVANCE
In support of his national de-
fense policy, President
Wilson
quotes the second, third,
fourth
and fifth verses of the 28rd chap
ter of Ezekiel. Read them.
Many are complaining about
violations of the stock law. It is
said that stock—especially cal-
ves are turned out to graze at
night with* the hopes that the
town marshall Will not find them
Pew of our farmers have much
faith in the "top crop.” Many
are plowing under the green
stalks to destroy the disease
that attacked cotton following
the tropical storm in the sum
mer.
Several have asked us if quail
can be lawfully killed in Novem-
ber. The last legislature clip-
ped that month from the open
season, allowing us only Decem-
ber and January in which to en-
joy the sport of sports.
Congressman Eugene Black
has announced that he favors
diverting the money that is being
spent on worthless Inland water
ways, to the construction of good
roads. Sooner or later, all of
our law makers are going to do
the very same thing.
Personally, we would like to
know which of the three, De-
troit, Deport or Blossom, is the
best cotton market. One at a
time, gentlemen.—Bowie County
News.
Bro. Miller, if you can induce
our friend Crosby to publish the
cotton receipts of his town all
you will have to do is to look
over The Times, the Bee and
the Herald to find out which
town has the best cotton mark-
et. As we said before the larg-
est pile of sugar always attracts
the greatest number of ants.
Death at Clarksville.
Mrs. Charley Grant, the wife
of the county assessor of Red
River County, died at her home
in Clarksville at 2 o’clock Friday
morning. She had been in a
sanitarium in Dallas for treat
ment, but had been brought
heme last Sunday and was
thought to be getting along well
until Thursday, when she began
to grow suddenly worse. She is
survived by her husband and
three small children, two girls
and a boy. The funeral took
place at Stone’s Chapel Saturday
morning.

On Wliars Is the Money?
The bankers of this state have undertaken the pa-
triotic duty of providing money to relieve the distress of
the present cotton crop. Conventions have been held,
committees appointed and raaolutlons adopted which
make a good beginning.
Moat every kind of Information has been given out
on the eubject except the amount of money available
and rate of Interest demanded on the cotton fund. The
farmers would like to hear thla phase of the subject dis-
cussed by the bankers. Tbe crop la beginning to move,
where Is the money T
Will tbe bankers, who are willing to lend money, at
the rate of alx per cent per annum, on cotton stored In
an Interior warehouse the loan to terminate at the option of the farmer,
please state the amount they have available for such purposes. We are fast
approaching the time when the Texas bankers must fleh or dig halt, and the
farmers of this state want to know what they can depend upon.
I recall the 1135,000,000 cotton pool of last year that spent lte energies
In discussing plans, organizing commltteea, hurrying across the continent,
sending telegrams and giving out newspaper Interviews but no money was
available for lending purposes. Cotton la the thing and a movement that
exhausts Itself before It gets the money to the farmer had better never been
started. A broken promise Is worse than a drouth. I am not questioning the
integrity of that movement but the results were dteaetrous to the farmer for
the cotton was held down to a low price until U left the hand* of the producer
and every effort should be made to prevent repetition of that calamity.
Lending money on cotton et a low rate of Interest la as much the part
of the warehouse system as the warehouse Itself. Building warehouses will
not solve the problem and warehouses without money would he of little use
to the farmers. The purpose of the warehouse la to make the loan of tha
banker more secure. If a banker would lend money to a farmer on cotton
held on a larm there would be little necessity tor a publlo warehouse except
as a safe and convenient means of storage.
The farmers will patronize the warehouse If It Is to hie Interest to do
so. The Interest rate, storage and insurance charges will determine largely
whether or not he will store his cotton. What are the rates7 We now hava
on deposit In the banks of Texas about 9200,000,000. Is any part of It avail,
able for handling the Texas cotton crop?
It Is time to get down to business. How much money have the hankers
available for cotton loans and what do they want for It? That Is the ques-
tion and Its answer determines the prosperity of the farmer of the South.
The farmers are depending upon the Texas bankers to handle thla year's
crop and I hhve no doubt they will do so for they have announced a willing-
ness to do it and are thoroughly capable of the task, but the danger of all
publlo movements Is that we urge and expect the other fellow to put up the
funda, hence the queatlon where Is the money?

The Eye and Its Needs.
Not until more people realize
the eye is a complicated struc-
ture and requires the attention
of one who understands and
makes a special study of the op
tical defects of the eye, can they
obtain the true results that
should be hod from the wearing
of glasses. I have done nothing
but fit glasses for the past five
years. I have gone equally as
far into a college training as any
man in this country. Therefore
I find it is no longer impossible
to correct all the optical defects
of the eyes with glasses, except
the diseased eye, which in most
cases is caused from strain and
neglect. My specialty is not to
take care of diseased eyes, but to
correct the optical defects of the
eyes with glasses,' which reliev-
es strain and prevents disease.
