, Now that American experts have settled the
German reparations problem and the French
war debt problem it might not be out of place
to have some of them do a little high-class solv-
ing on the American agricultural problem.
If you have not before, begin now to pay at-
tention to lovely flowers, beautiful landscapes,
good music, good poetry and find after a few
weeks how much more real enjoyment you are
getting out of life.
Some splendid fruit was shown at the Col-
lin County Fair that was grown in the county
and grown in a drouthy year. Every home that
has a few yeards of spare ground can grow an
abundance of fruit with just a little trouble.
" The Masonic Grand Lodge of Michigan for-
bids smoking in the lodge room on the ground
that “a lodge room is dedicated to God, the Holy
Saint John and Masonry and it is as improper
to use it as a smoking room as it would lie to
use a church for the same purpose."
: Many boll weevils have shown up in Collin
County fields since the big rainfall in Septem-
ber. Some farmers regard themselves lucky
that the summer was so dry as it was. Other-
they feel that the weevil would have greatly re-
duced their cotton yield.
Pithy, Pointed Paragraphs
By BRICE COLLINS.
The bravest woman in the country is the
female who is going to marry Harry Thaw.
Love has intuition-vision. Its pierces a rough
exterior and finds the fine individuality be-
neath.
Up in Alaska there is a railroad 365 miles
long which will operate without lights for
several weeks on account of continuous day-
light.
Wallace Manning, of Rochester, N. Y., has
been blind since he was sixteen, yet he has
learned to detect motor trouble by sound and
to repair by touch. He is an expert. Believers
in lick and kickers at “fate” take notice.
Frances Marion quit a $15.00 a week job to
become a scenario writer ami now makes
$200,000 a year; but before you do likewise re-
member Miss Marion’s assertion that accord-
ing to actual figures only one in ten thousand
of the scenarios sent to the motion picture pro-
ducers is accepted.
Who knows? John W. Davis may become the
leader of a rehabilitated, restored, reincarnated
old-time Democratic party. It’s not a daring
dream. But let us hope. 1 do not believe he is
reactionary or radically "progressive." His
record justifies the belief that he is sanely sen-
sible and lucidly liberal.
The great New York department store of R.
II. Macy & Company was founded by a man
with a capital of $300. He had an idea which
had not been tried out. His idea was that if a
merchant would sell for cash at one price to
all and give no discounts to any one he would
win out. One of the two or three largest stores
in the country is the result.

FOOT-AND-MOUTH DISEASE
IS UNDER CONTROL
Washington, Oct. 18.—The ont-
break of foot-and-mouth disease
near Houston, Texas, officially con-
firmed on September #7, was con-
sidered under control on October 13,
according to the United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
The disease has been found in only
five herds and there has been no
new infection during the past eight
days except in one dairy heard of
17 cows in an enclosure adjoining
an infected pasture. All the dis
eased herds have been slaughtered
and buried, the last one being dis-
posed of the same day that It was
found infected. This propt dispo-
sition of infected animals reduce;
to a minimum the danger of the vi
rus being spread to other herds.
Cleaning and disinfection of infected
premises are being pushed vigorous-
ly, usually being completed within
a few days after the animals have
been put under ground.

THE LOCAL MARKET
United States Senator Frank Brandege of
Connecticut committed suicide in Washington
Tuesday. He was worried over financial mat-
tors. He was a leader in the liepublican party,
sixty years of age and a bachelor. As far as
history shows, Senator Brandege is the first
I nited States Senator to take his life. Senator
Brandege had enough to make him take his
life: Being a Republican, a bachelor, and the
failures of the Republican party on him.
Some high class doctors will not write li-
quor prescriptions. Some high-class druggists
willnot sell liquor on prescriptions. Neverthe-
less there are in Texas drug store bootleggers
who are profiting largely from the sale of whis-
key. It should lie stopped. The records in
the comptroller’s office show that during a spe-
cified time one drug store in Dallas sold more
whiskey on prescription than all the drug stores
in Houston combined.

A news dispatch from Paris, Texas states
that Ringling Brothers’ circus was made to
pay $10,000 at that place for damages it is al-
leged to have done to the three streets of Paris,
parts of which the circus used. This on top of
the State quarantine and whatever fines and as-
sessments other Texas towns may levy against
them will probably lead the Ringling boys to
a somewhat different conclusion regarding the
American public than that reached by the la-
mented P. T. Barnum, who said the American
people—loved to be swindled.
Last Sunday’s Dallas News contained 218
pages of reading matter and advertising. It
was the largest paper ever published by the
News or any other Texas paper so far as we re-
. member at this time. The News is a wonderful’
paper. It has 500 employees to help issue
the paper each day. This particular issue
consumed $13,000 worth of white paper,
amounting to several car loads alone in the one
Sunday issue. We congratulate A. H. Belo &
Company on their enterprise in producing such
a mammoth publication, which was so full of
information and interest to every one old or
young, man or woman, girl or boy.
In a recent address to the Rotary Club nt
Denison, J. J. Taylor, “State Press” of the
Dallas News for twenty years, says 450 men
and women, not counting carriers or news-
boys, are, employed in the Dallas News build-
ing and that approximately 90 per cent are
Protestants. The board of directors consists
of seven men. Six belong to Protestant
churches. One to no church. The editorial
council is composed of ten or twelve men. All
are Protestants except one, who is a Catholic.
There are 15,000 shares of stock in the News
company. About 10,000 shares are owned by the
heirs of Col. A. II. Belo. They are Episcopal-
ians, Geo. B. Dealey, the court of last resort in
general management, is u Presbyterian. He
has been given a doctor’s degree by Southern
Methodist University.
Editorially Tom says he hears “Many fav-
orable continents” on this column and requests
those who like or dislike any paragraph 1 write
to write me. It is probable that no reader has
coincided with every opinion 1 have expressed.
1 am equally sure that neither of the owners of
the Courier-Gazette have agreed with me in all
things. Indeed, I may have been radically
wrong in some of my expressed opinions. I
only try to be right. No one can do more. I

"Tuberculosis seals ave greatly reduced the

Some weeks ago I wrote that i had never
known an agnostic who was willing to live in
a community without churches. A gentleman
in Van Zandt county wrote me a courteous let-
ter stating that he was an agnostic and would
be delighted to live where no churches were
near. He wanted a debate by correspondence.
I wrote him a courteous declination, giving
several reasons, one of which was that there
was no point of contact between our views and
we would “get no where” as he walked by
sight, I by faith. However, if any one should
write me and conclusively prove that I have
been wrong in any statement, I will frankly
confess my error in this column if to much
space is not required to devote to the subject.
