Returns l'rom Dairying
Having worked up an interest in
Lockhart for th- building of a mod-
ern creamery, Kdit^r Sehofield. of the
Post-Register, is now confronted with
some doubtintr Thomases that think
the lands around Lockhart are t■ o
valuable to be u-"d for dairying.
Shades of Fhylock! What do they
expect to do with iheir land? Up in
the Canadia: border -tate- where
lanrl is held at from tr< $1,00<.i an
ncre, and e ws have to be kept
housed in close barn- about half the
year to keep them from freezing,
dairy farmer are getting rich and
buying more IhihI when they can
find anybody who will sell it.
Unless Caldwell county lands are
worth more than that, and winter
conditions are harder on the cattle
than "up North," dairying will pay
around Lockhart. If the land are
too valuable for that they are certain-
ly worth too much to be used for
cotton. Only oil gushers and gold
mine- will beat it, and these "play
out" after awhile, leaving the dairy-
man still in clover.

The Snyder Times-Signal is rejoic-

Natural gn adds to the comfort and
convenience of the people as few
other things do, and it is an asset for
ore-perity when rightly used. Here
are a few reasons The Times-Signal
irives for rejoicing: "With an unlim-

I merely had a little visit with the

" 'Is your daughter usually an ac-

I Margery had for drawing and music
and how I saw ty it that she had op-
