w HEN we announced Bevo
* * recently, our hopes were
high. We knew that we had
the most unusual soft drink
that had ever keen offered: A
beverage combining the nutri-
tive extracts of wholesome ce-
reals, the zest of Saazer Hops,
a flavor all its own and abso-
lute purity. We knew this be-
cause, true to our own ideals,
we had experimented for years
before we were satisfied to say,
“We offer you Bcvo— it is a
different soft drink — it i.. good
and it is good for you.”
High as were our hopes for
its reception, we have realized
them far and beyond our
expectations.

during the last month. This Denton
item is evidence of that fact. We
have been witnessing the mounting of
prices with an emotion which would
be rational only in people* who had
everything to buy ami nothing to sell,
whereas the fact is that we shall have
a huge surplus to sell of those things
which have been so rapidly advancing
in price. The size of the wheat crop
is yet to be determined: the harvest
may be smaller than usual.
ing is more certain that Texas will
harvest more wheat money than ever
before In its history Our wheat
money is not likely to he less than
twice any previous total, and it may
be nearly three times as great. What
is true of wheat is substantially true
of all other things which Texas will
have to sell. In other words, it will
be a year of unprecedented prosperity
for Texas farmers Pessimism is
shamed and made ridiculous by that
fact Galveston News.
Despite predictions to the contrary,
the German chancellor iefused to dis-
cuss peace, or peace terms, before
I the relchstag last Tuesday .
i His reasons for taking such a stand
i must be clear to every intelligent per-
son.
It were impossible for him to make
specific declaration on such vital
questions without antagonizing some
important political faction, and pre-
cipitating a concrete dimension among
the German people which would sc
rlously interfere with their ability to
prosecute the war.
Another factor entering into the sit-
uation, and one which must have ex-
ercised considerable Influence on the
chancelor’s attitude, was his palpable
linability to devise any terms suffi-
ciently liberal to appeal to the allies
without making them too humiliating
for home consumption

His apparent bewilderment, ns dis-
closed by a resolute unwillingness to

thing that has yet happened a dawn-
ing prescience that Germany is
doomed.
The imperial government no longer
finds itself in a position to speak with
confidence. It does not dare take n
nosltive stand. It can only urge the
fatigued and war-riddled nation to
fight on toward some indefinable des-
tiny which It lacks the courage to

Another thing! The food situation
in the United States has succeeded
in filling a world of newspaper space.
Tlie News printed a little item from
Denton the other day in which it was
stated that “wheat has come out won-
derfully during the cool, wet weather
of tlie last two weeks," and that “in ,
many instances, where it. was thought
the yield would be exceedingly light,
it is now believed a good harvest is in
prospect.” We have been taking
counsel of fear rather than of reason
and that and ultimate starvation. Not
so with the newspapers. They got
their multitudes together, began to
teach conservation and sanity, pre-

have been a condition worse than war.

until the newspapers got their range
and began to pour forth their broad-
sides of reason. Business was teeter-

general hysteria was sweeping over
the country and people went wild. It
was then the newspapers put in their
work, which they have consistently
adherred to. Pessimism was rife and
had a firm grip on the public. The
. papers counseled reason and taught
it to the public. They pleaded with
taeir readers to stand firm and not
become a stampeded lot of wild-eyed

its fruits. Prices went soaring, the

their efforts to obtain the enfranchise
ment of women, was demonstrated at
this afternoon's session of the mem-
bers of tlie Texas Equal Suffrage As-
sociation. when the following telegram
wa ordered send to President Wil-
son :
"For nearly seventy years tlie wom-
en of the United States have tried the
States’ rights route and it's a long
and tortuous path, and since tlie Tex-
as legislature has repeatedly infused
submission of the suffrage amend-
ment to the voters of Texas, thereby
repudiating the States’ rights princi-
ple of the democratic party, the Texas
Equal Suffrage Association, in con

urges your support of the Federal
suffrage amendment to enfranchise
the women of our country by Federal
action."

provides for an appropriation of $30,-
