Insurance is your money of todsy, change?
saved up and put into mitigation of
the risks of tomorrow. It is not a
blind monster seeking to devour the
prosperity of todsy; it is an intel-
ligent friend looking for a chance to
save you a little more, so that you or
your family may gain by lowering
waste-
Rates are reduced for better fire
protection, for better factory safety
devices, for better organization to
prevent accidents. Rates are lowered
for autos well equiped with safety de-
vices that reduce accident damage.
Rates are lowered for the non-use
of intoxicants; st least to the degree
that habitual intoxication is almost
always a definite bar to insurance at
- any rate.
In brief, insruance is merely our
own common sense hsndling of our
own funds. If we sre careless, de-
fiant, ignorant, our funds dribble
away from our own pockets, and we
save little or nothing though always
at hazard. If we are decently care-
ful, our money lasts because we do
not spend it in so many foolish,
wasteful wsys. By pooling our fi-
nances, snd employing expert mana-
gers to invest the money, we get
the maximum of efficiency. The mod-
ern insurance company is one of the
most effective business agencies ever
devised; with the smallest percentage
of waste or loss, the lowest cost for
the service rendered. — Industrial

READ SACKETTS STORY
EGYPT IN THIS ISSUE
OF
Are you reading the travel-sto-
ries of Fred J. Sackett aa they ap-
pear from week to week in this pa-
per? Many of our readers, both in
the city and in the smaller commu-
nities, tell us they enjoy them.
This week’s story recites the visit
of Mr. and Mrs. Sackett to Egypt
. and the Nile Valley. It’s a gripping
bit of reeding. Mr. Sackett stands
in the shadows of the Pyramids and
the Sphinx, where Abraham stood—
and like that ancient worthy, he
wonders and is bewildered at the
antiquity of the civilization whose re-
mains he there beholds.
Mr. Sackett concludes his very in-
teresting story of Egypt by calling it
“the cradle of the beat civilisation
that the world has ever known.”
Our Editor took the liberty to put
the writer’s allusion in quotations.
We have never visited that land—we
don’t know whether to accept Mr.
Sackett’s statement literally or not.
Is the boasted civilisation of our day
but the faint awakening of a great-
er civilisation that existed ten thous-
and years ago, a civilization whose
splendor and virtues have been wholly
lost to modern Man and can only be
inferred vaguely from the relics dis-
coverable from that stunningly re-
mote antiquity which Egypt holds?
We don’t know; we dare say not.
You will enjoy the story.
Ancient but true: “As a rule a
man’s a fool; when it’s hot, he wants
it cool; when it's cool, he wants it
hot; always wanting what is not.’ :
POLITICS CAN'T BRING FARM
PROSPERITY
All that the Government ought to
do, all that it can do, is to set that
all of us have a right to pursue our
respective businesses under condi-
tions of equity, fairness end equality
of opportunity. We think the Tariff
Laws have worked some hardships
upon the farmer, as against those en-
gaged in certain phases of industrial
production. But here is one of the
main troubles with farming and with
communities whose prosperity and
business activity are dependent upon
agriculture, quoted from Judge Fitz-
gerald:
“We know that the individual
farmer who buys more from town
than he sells from the farm during
the year is losing ground;’and that,
if this is kept up a few years, that
farmer must come to want. If this
is true of the individual farmer
then it is true of the farm community
whose people practice that method;
and, if that is true of a com-
munity, then, when the farmers
of the county as a whole buy more
things in town that are shipped in
from a distance than they sell to be
shipped out of the county, the coun-
ty as a whole is losing ground. And
in all such cases the people of all
classes and occupations must suffer
financially.”' :
Nobody has ever starved to death
in East Texas; and, so far as we
know, nobody has ever suffered real
physical hunger for any great length
of time. But while we have our cour-
age screwed up to face and admit a
few embarassing things, we might ss
well say this truth plainly: That
there have been and yet are want,
deprivation, lack of opportunities.
Therefore, if such has been the case
under the system of agriculture which
we have followed for fifty years,
isn’t it about time for us to make a
:
“Weighed in the balances—and
found wanting”. That is the verdict
that must be set down against the
system of agriculture which most of
Texas has followed for the, past fifty
years. Are we going to continue to
stick to ‘the system which hasn't got
us anywhere in half a century ? Most
men have sense enough to quit or
abandon anything that has proven a
failure fifty times hand-running, or
even forty times in fifty trials. In-
tensive snd diversified farming is
the remedy proposed by the Smith
County Agricultural Council. It will
solve the problem—it will get us
somewhere. We know: for those
who are following it intelligently
have already gotten out of the woods
financially and and are on the high-
road to independence and happiness.:
We know that the all-cotton sys-
tem of farming, as practiced in prac-
tically all Texas counties, has not in
fifty years given us more than “a
hesitant, temporary prosperity;” and
that, quite to the contrary, the per
capita wealth of the counties—has
not increased. The taxable values
in Smith county are not any larger
than they were twenty years ago—
certainly not if we measure them in
terms of the purchasing power of a
dollar. And, as a cold, embarassing
fact, the tax renditions of the county
of late years have not equaled their
totals of ton to fifteen years ago.
This ought to take the wind out of
our pride, even tho we are reputed
to be the greatest crop-diversifying
county in Texas.
Talking about people leaving the
country and moving to town, there is
not a more outstanding example of
“wholesale migration" than that
ministers of the Gospel and physi-
cians do not reside in the country any
more. Nine out of ten (end may be a
larger percentage) of rural churches
are now served by ministers who re-
side in towns and cities—and who
are rarely in the communities they
serve except during the week end of
the once or twice pre month “preach-
ing time." As to rural physicians,
not one in twenty who practice
medicine really resides in the rural
district*.
, IT’S YOU
You say the world looks gloomy,
The skies are grim and gray
The night has lost its quiet.
You fear the coming day
The world to what you make it;
The sky is gray or blue
Just as your soul may paint it;
It isn’t the world—it’s you.
Clear up the clouded vision,
Clean out the foggy mind; •
The clouds ere sways passing,
And each is silver lined.
The world is what you make it-
Then make it bright and true;
And when you say its gloomy
It isn’t the world—it’s you,
—Tit Bits.
MORGAN SANDERS IS “PROD-
DING” THE REPUBLICANS SOME
Congressman Sanders of the Third
Texas District—our "Morg" Sanders
whose home is right over here at
Can ton, has been prodding the Re pub -
licans of the present congress in a
way most embarassing to them. In
e speech recently in the House he
told them of their promises to the
country, particularly to the formers,
end then recounted the sum total of
their achievements in making these
campaign promises of 1920 snd 1924
good. Morg not only proved his case
by the Congressional Record, but by
a whole avalanche of outstanding
facts that he cited from other sources.
About two more broadsides like
that and our Congressman from the
Third Texas District will occupy the
same position with respect to desl-
ing out misery to the “other side”
that Senator Pat Harrison of Mississ-
ippi occupies over in the other end of
the Capitol. !:

Yes; we are willing to admit that
our interest in seeing the Smith
County 10-year Better Farming® Pro-
gram put into complete operation is
a selfish interest. We have got
sense enough to know that if the
farmer prospers every commercial
and business interest prospers. v
