ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR

deposit It now while you have
it, with the bank that will
help you in the time off need.

DEPORT,
Resolved
That IIdon’t|bear any? grudge
against any farmer. I wouldn’t
blume a farmer for anything—
he has an uphill job at best, with
nothing at all to do. All the
farmer has to do is to plow the
ground and harrow it and sow
the seed and then if a drought
doesn’t come along and burn it
all up a flood waits until it looks
pretty 'good then drowns it.
Then if it is a good year, why
the prices are so low it doesn't
pay to haul it to town. If its al-
right, all he has to do is to reap
it and thresh it or husk it and
haul it and sell it and go back
home and have fun with the
cows and pigs and lead a jolly
life of excitment. Oh its great.
—R. P. Outcault.
The Cotton Situation.
The Department of Agricul-
ture has estimated that the con-
dition of cotton on the 25th of
September was G0.8 normal
against 69.2 the previous month.
Forecasts are yielding 168
pounds to the acre, totaling 10,-
050.000 bales, compared with
16.135.000 last year. Cotton ad
vanced $3.00 per bale on the un-
favorable report. The cotton
census for 1015 up to September
25, shows 2,000,007 bales ginned
against 3,303,752 ginned up to
that time in 1914.

The following article, written
for the Gainesville Register by a
member of the Parent-Teachers’
Association of that city, is so ap-
plicable U> Deport that we pub-
lish it with the hope that every
parent in this school district
will read it:
"Have you a child in school
this year? •
“Do you know the teacher or
teachers of that child?
"Do you realize that your child
spends half of its life in the
school room?
"Are you doing all in your
power to help the teacher make
the half spent in school as profit-
able and happy as the half spent
at home?
"Do you realize that the educa-
tion of your child does dot con
sist in the learning of the capi-
tals of the States, or the finding
an answer to a problem? But in
the far more important thing—
the learning of how to use his
mind, learning how to think,
learning how to live?
"In this age the teacher is not
only expected to teach the daily
lessons, but honesty, courtesy,
nobleness, everything that goes
to make up a perfect life. Are
you helping her or him to bear
this extra burden?
"Have you assured the teacher
of this term of your hearty co-
operation? How many times
last year did you visit your
child’s room to see if conditions
were pleasant—to see what the
teacher thought of his effort?
"Will you not, for your child’s
welfare, try to cultivate the con-
fidence and friendship of the one
with whom he is to spend so
much time? Will you not try to
get an intelligent understanding
of the needs of the school room
and see just what you might do
towards helping to fill those
needs?”
Good Roads for Less Money.
Two years ago The Times man
was visiting in the southern part
of Dallas County. An oil com-
pany had just put two layers of
Shelbyville, Ind—The Lon
Moll farms near Manilla have
the record apple. It is sixteen
inches in curcumferance and
weighs 26 ounces.
Philadelphia, Pa.—It takes fif-
ty cents to commit suicide by
the gas route in Philadelphia.
When Viola Day grew tired of
life, put a pipe on the gas jet, the
other end in her mouth and lay
down to die, the quarter in the
meter ran out and her life was
saved.
Williston, N. D.—When Ken-
neth Jordan, an 8 year-old pris-
oner in the county jail, secured
the keys from the sheriff and
opened the doors telling the pris-
oners they could escape, only
one of the twelve took advantage
of the offer. The one who es-
caped was re-arrested.
London, Eng. —English women
who have always looked on the
use of rouge as bad taste, are
beginning to use it in large I
quantities. The makers of the |
cosmetics say that worry from (
the war is fnaking the women
pale and they are resorting to
paints and powders in despera-
tion* ».
Milburn, O.—J. D. Hart ex-
hibited at the county fair a pair
of stockings over 100 years old.
They were made by his grand-
mother who picked the cotton,
wove it into thread and then knit
the stockings. During the
storm in Galveston in 1900, they
were rescued with difficulty and
by the merest accident were
saved.
Chester, Pa.—When William
Downs was entrapped by blue
dye in a vat which he was mend-
ing, he was overcome by fumes
and taken out for dead. After the
undertakers had prepared the
body for burial and removed it to
Downs’ home, the corpse arose
on his bed and screamed: "I’m
not dead, and don’t you think I
am.”
Beloit, Wis.—Clarence Mon-
troy is earning money to pay his
way through school by allowing
automobiles to run over his

Your Health
depends on the purity of drugs used
and the care employed in compounding
the prescriptions given you by your doc-
. tor. Sometimes it is even a matter of f
Life and Death 7
, Our stock of drugs is the best and freshest we '
can buy. We use the utmost care in compound-
ing all prescriptions, as your doctor will tell you.
It is a matter of conscience with us.
Pity Drug Store
A few months later we again
visited that section and the road
was hard, free of fiust, shed
water like a duck’s back, and it
required a traction engine to
make a wheel track. Since then
we hafte often wondered if a
black land road graded up and
treated with oil would not make
a mighty good road. The follow-
ing from the Honey Grove Sig-
nal gives the result of an experi-
ment along that line:
Honey Grove’s public square
and the approaches hereto fur-
nish abundant proof of the value
of crude oil on highways. Since
the oil was put on there has been
no bother whatever from dust,
and, in spite of the very heavy
rains, there has been no mud.
The square is not well drained,
water standing in many places
following the rains, yet under
this unfavorable condition the
square has been free from mud
and is today as hard as asphalt
pavement. Oil is undoubtedly a
road maker and will in a very
few years be extensively used on
the country’s highways.

Selecting Seed Corn.
"Farmers in selecting corn
for next spring should be care-
ful to select none but the best,”
says Dr. J. O. Morgan, professor
of Agronomy at the A. & M.
College. "We have had so much
rain and stormy weather for the
past few weeks, that much of
the corn is mouldy and unlit for
use as seed. If the cob is in
bad condition, if the seed are
not sound and firm, by all means
do not use them for seed pur-
poses. The lirst step towards
raising a good crop of corn, is to
plant good, healthy seed.”
