tact with the simpler and sweet-
er phases of existence. The far-
ther man gets away from Mother
Earth the longer the route to his
spiritual satisfactions. The
ground grows souls just the same
as it grows crops for the nurture
of man. The largest souls this
nation and other nations have
produced were souls which early
in their being were associated
with the soil. That is one reascn
to Fort Worth to be sent out
from there by mail. This is in-
dicative that it pays to adver-
tise, and the firm that does this
gets their share of business,
while the man that does not,
sets around with a long face
wondering why times are so
hard. Shake off that grouchy
look for it scares away your cus-
tomers. Advertise and smile.

A son was born to Mr. and
Mrs. Graham Wall last night, but
being too tender for this sinful
world, it only lived a short while,
its soul being wafted back to
Him who said, “Suffer little
children to come unto me and
forbid them not, for such is the
Kingdom of Heaven.”
Don’t forget the 15 Cent Tea!

needed legislation but the finish-
ed product is yet to come. But
the sixty days, at five dollars
per day, will soon be up and then
the members will only draw two
dollars per day. This very fact
will cause a majority of the mem-
bership to vote for adjournment
which will mean the killing of all
the matters now so near the fin-
ishing touches. Twice within
the last ten years the people
have been asked to amend the
Constitution so as to permit the
payment of members of the Leg-
islature € nough to permit them
to go to Austin and stay long
enough to finish their work and i
enact such legislation that is
needed for the state. Twice the
people have refused and this is
one time the “people” are going
to suffer for it, for we need some
legislation that we are not going
to get.

«quire a broader reach than boys
born and bred in cities. The city
boy always is narrow. Just as
in childhood his natural vision is
hemmed in by artificial walls; so
in maturity his mental vision is
circumscribed by the experiences
of his pent-up youth. If State
Press had it in his power to leg-
islate singly and alone for this
Republic, the first law he would
pass would be one forbidding
more than forty thousand people
to live in one city. He would
forbid any community becoming
larger than, say, Waco. And no
two of such cities should be clog-'
er together than fifty miles. In
addition to regulating the size of
urban communities he would or-
ganize the rural communities
closely. He would give every
farm family sixty acres of ground
and require that as long as there
was a child to inherit it no farm
should ever be alienated from its
rightful owners. As the number
of families increased, and after ;
