Stonewall County Has Two
Contestants For Grand
Prizes.
Stonewall county has two con-
testants for the grar^d state prize
offered by the TexaSy Industrial
Congress. These prizes are
offered for the highest yield of
cotton and corn. We are real
glad to know that our county has
entered the contest and there is
no reason why grand old Stone-
wall county sfcould not capture
these prizes and here is hoping
that our farmers will cai*ry th^m
off. Names of the parties who
are in the contest in Stonewall
county: W'm. H. Hood and
Victor Kirtley, both of Peacock
Texas Farmer.
The past decade has witnessed
a marvelous improvement in the
condition of the Texas farmer
and he has passed from a life of
toil and hardships to one of in-
fluence and luxury. His prod-
ucts are sought after by the mar-
kets of the world and the, prices
are all he could ask. He has be-
come a leader in society, business
and public affairs.
The farmer who once hooked
up his pants wth a nail now wears
silk suspenders,^and where he
once drove an ox team, h4 now
rides in an automobile and prob-
lems of Texas development which
were once in the hands of the
politicians are now being dis-
cussed across the fireside. Back
to the soil with our economic
problems where they will be
settled and settled right.

We had a good rain.
Our little city is growing
some.
W. T. Robbins has moved into
his new residence and has pur-
chased a new piano.
G. H. Spiser is also erecting a
new residjence.
Mrs. R. B. Hanke who has been
visiting her parents, Mr. and
Mrs. A. Hecht for a few weeks
returned to her home in Thur-
ber last Tuesday.
R. H. Ottmers of near Asper-
mont attended the Lutheran
preaching here Sunday after-
noon.
Misses Zeola and Lanora Cor-
ley and brother of .near Hooker
were at the singing and Sunday
school here Sunday.
Quite a number of Branden-
burg young folks attended the
picnic on the flat top mountain
near Sagerton Sunday before last.
Loius Spiser of Sagerton spent
Saturday night and Sunday with
his brother, G. H. Spiser here.
Sunbeams.
The Farmers are our Best
Citizens.
Every battle field that marks
the world's progress, the victory
of liberty over tyranny, or right
over wrong has been deluged
with the blood of our farmers.
TKe farmer evades neither the
tax nor the recruiting officer.
The sons and daughters of our
farmers are filling the semi-
naries, colleges and universities
of the land, and from our farm
homes have gone in the past, as
they are going now, leaders in
literature, science and art, presi-
dedts of great universities, the
heads of great industrial enter-
prises and they direct our Gov-
ernment. The typical American
today is the farmer and city life
with its bustle and stir, its hurry
and rush must be replenished
from bur rural homes.
The West.
To the west, to the west to hear the
winds roar,
I long to be there forever more.
Where I can hear the coyote howl
And the distant sound of the old hoot
owl.
Back to the west in thoughts I go,
Where I can hear the cattle low.
I long to be in that peaceful retreat,
Where life's journey seems so sweet.
The land of sunshine so rich and free,
Nothing like it from sea to sea.
I have roamed far and near
But the west I hold most dear.
In the land of good people I long to be
They have always been so kind to me.
A people that's kind and true,
Who've extended the glad hand to not
a few.
You may talk of tha Fast, \
But in the west I find happiness and
peace.
Nothing like it this side of Heaven,
Is a country so precious given.
Land of sunshine and fresh air,
Land of hope and not despair.
No chills or malaria there we find,
No pesky mosquitoes to trouble your
mind.
I long to see the prairie dogs, as they
feed on the grass so green,
A more beautiful sight can never
be seen.
To feel the western breezes blow,
As they scatter sweet fragrance to and
fro.
Towards the setting sun we gaze,
At its beautiful golden rays,
And with fond anticipations my
thoughts do roam,
4.s I long to be there, in that "Home
Sweet Home." * /

Hog and Hominy Day.
For the purpose of encourag-
ing both the Hog and Corn Club
boys in Collin county, the Mc-
Kinney Commercial Club has de-
cided to hold monthly meetings
for the boys of the county, the
day to be known as "Hog andl
Hominy Day." It is estimated
that over five hundred vouthtul
farmers of Collin county will at-
tend the first meeting. Greased
pig races, sack races and other
forms of amusemeut will be pro
vided and in addition a brass
band in full , uniform will play
popular airs on the Courthouse
lawn and a gala time is expected.
The Boy's Corn Club and Hog
Club movement throughout the
state is becoming more promi-
nent every dav and the Commer
cial Clubs are endeavoring to en-
courage these lines of industry
by offering prizes, giving enter-
tainments, etc. for the boys of
the rural districts.
Good roads aid the social and
religious, educational and indus-
trial progress of the people; they
make better homes and happier
hearthsides. >
The Texas Hand Shake.
According to data compiled by
the Commercial Secretary's Asso-
ciation, the citizens of Texas
spend annually in visiting among
their relatives and friends. This
item of expense measures to a
certain extent our prosperity
and sociability. We are all good
fellows and we like each other.
We are never too busy to form
new acquaintances, tell j^arns
and split our sides laughing.
We welcome 69,000 immigrants,
shake hands with a half million
winter tourists and visitors per
annum and in addition entertain
our friends. True Southern
hospitality abounds in Texas and
the Texas hand shake has be-
come world famous.
■ 1 r
Our farmers ^re the heart of
our national life and the chief
source of our material greatness
Tear down every edifice in our
towns and cities and labor will
rebuild them, but abandon the
farms and our cities will crumble
away and disappear forever.
