vocacy of NO COTTON—unless it be , ness, graft and greed they cause

flowers of happiness should bloom.
“And I’ll tell you another thing, Bish-
op,” said the fellow, “I know of some
folks who are so stingy and grasp-
ing that they would skin a flea for
its hide and tallow.” “Plenty of that
kind of human bipeds in the world
today,” said the Bishop. “They
would follow a dollar silver wheel to
the brink of hell, and grasping after
it as it rolled over into the dark pit
they would lose their balance and
tumble into the pit themselves to
keep company with the rich man
whom our preachers sometimes
preach about when they take for
their text the parable of the rich man
and Lazarus.” In the old version of
the Bible the Apostle Paul tells us
that “the love of money is the root of
all evil.” The Bishop contends that
the apostle was a little bit wrong and
the revised version bears him out in
that contention w'hen it says that “the
love of money is the k root of a great
deal of evil,” because there are some
evils in the world that the love of
money has nothing to do with. How-
ever, the love of money is a great
curse in the world today. In their
mad rush after the almighty dollar

THE SUGAR CANE INDUSTRY. |
Further discussing the sugar cane
industry for East Texas, the follow-, money
ing editorial is reproduced from the
Gai-Dallas News of recent date. The
idea of the writer of 0 the editorial
seems to be the same as outlined in
The Champion last week, that is, the, larger type he would have received
uniform cooking of the syrup, the about twice the amount in money for
sending nothing but a standard make the same number of fowls and they

Here is what the editorial says: | He lost there. Again, he had made no

green forage in the winterhad pro-
vided no egg producing food for
them and they are not laying at this
season of the year when the product
is the highest and in the greatest de-
mand.
On the other hand if he had looked
after his hens they would be produc-
ing him eggs and the eggs would be
bringing him good money. By
looking after them he could keep the
non-layers culled and sold off and
his flock would soon become a splen-
did producing asset for his place.
Thousands of dollars worth of poul-
try and products are marketed here
each month and it pays as it is hand-
led now and would pay so much bet-
ter if handled on a business basis.

the cry of the powers that look after
these things for the last several years
that a short production would bring
the price up. For two years now
we have had a short production, the
last crop being far short of normal
and the price has not come back, in
fact has gone down. Times have
come now when the producer of cot-
ton can make some money by raising
it at 12 cents per pound. It is a
money crop and is better than noth-
ing. This writer is not urging an
over-acreage, but is not advocating
the “quitting cotton,” altogether.
We would urge, however, the
planting of an abundant acreage in
forage crops; the raising and saving
of vegetables for home consumption;

ity several years ago, suggesting such
roads as the county now possess. We
are glad to have lived to see our de-

in old Shelby county which will ever

other towns, the advertising itself has been clev-
erly done, great emphasis has been
placed upon some unusual or out-
standing talking point, the advertis-
ing has been well placed and made
very appealing to the human eye.
More often than that, however, ad-
vertising has to be continuous and
confidence built up in an establish-
ment as to quality, fair treatment,
and all that sort of thing. It is es-
tablishment of confidence and good
will which brings a stream of custom-
ers who are repeaters, and these are
the ones upon whom the real profit
is made.
One city business man estimates
that it costs him about $1.29 :o get
each new cutomser in his store, and
that the first average sale of goods
or service does not net a profit of
more than about 21 cents so if the
I customer never comes back he is in
the hole to the extent of $1.08. It
is not until the customer has- patron -
ized him often enough to yield pro-
fits equivalent to the expense of the
initial cost of winning that customer
position with efficient, -^hat the future business becomes ac-
tually profitable.
But this period of building up
cane syrup over in East Texas; not
as much by some millions of jugfuls
as they could make, but as much as
the market wants, or rather, as it
has wanted. The distinction of tense
| is important. For the market could
be made to want vastly more than it
has wanted. To make it want more
two things are requisite, or maybe
three. One is that the market should
be made more familiar than it is
with the superdeliciousness of East
Texas ribbon cane syrup at its best.
I That is a fact with which not even
L. the home market, meaning the Texas
market is yet familiar, which means,
of course, that the alien and greater
market is in utter ignorance of it.
Another of the needful things is that
no ribbon cane syrup be allowed to
come out of East Texas except at its
best. A good deal not its best,
some even that labels the best, is al-
lowed to escape, with the result that
the whole of the product is put un-
der a prejudice with those who do
at.
