FARM RICH IN
OPPORTUNITY
Nothing today offers th;
-young man a better opportunity
for success, prosperity and indc
pendence than farming, saic
Francis H. Welch of Taylor, prcs
ident of the Texas Bankers' As
sociation who was in Dall
Saturday. .
Mr. Welch has lived all his
years in the midst of a com-
munity that is renowned for its
thrifty farmers and he has seer;
it demonstrated that good farm
ing will succeed on most an.
soil and that bad farming genei
ally will fail no matter what th.
soil is.
"The human element is the
important factor in farming.
i A dispatch to The News from
! Tyler Tuesday reported that G
' Mont Adams had sold fifteen
I baies of his prize-winning crop
| together with nine other bak -
! grown on an adjoining thirteei
i acres, to E. B. Guthrie & Co.
of Dallas. The price was 23c a
pound. The cotton graded strict
| middling and one and one-six-
teenth-inch staple. For strict
middling cotton the quoted pric<
in Dallas on the day that tram
actionwas 20.90c. Mr. Adams
got the premimum due to stapL
evidently. The premium was
2.10c a pound, something mon
than SlOabale and $240 on hi?
crop.
It cost Mr. Adams no more t
grow staple cotton than it
would have cost him to grow-
half and half cotton. He might
have got a, greater quantity of
cotton if he had grown half and
half; at least the old notion that
half and half is the more pro-
ductive allows that to be regard
ed as a possibility. But Mr.
Adams' own performance must
make that notion much less
plausible than it formerly was;
must suggest that it is a fancy

Mr. V. B. (Virgil) Shaw an-
nounces this week for the office
of District Clerk of Wood county
subject to the action of the vot-
ers of the county, having made
the race for that office four
years ago, at which time he led
the ticket in the first primary.
In the run-off he was defeated
by the present incumbent by
the small margin of 56 votes
He is the son of the late Andrew
Shaw, was born and reared in
this county near Hainesville
and has taught several terms of
school in different parts of the
county, being now engaged in
teaching at Democrat, east of
Mineola" He is a farmer, having
lived on a farm most all of his
life, wa.s educated in the public-
schools of the county and has
had commercial training in one
of the best commercial schools
of the state. He is well qualifi-
ed to fill the position to which
he aspires and promises in case
of his election tha,t he will not
seek the third term. After mak
ing the race and receiving a
splendid vote four years ago, he
has been content to wait four
years before offering for the
place again, but now he is justi-
fied in seeking the office once
more, and believing that he is
qualified to fill the position with
credit to the county and to th^
satisfaction of the voters, h<
asks that you consider his claims
and he will appreciate your sur
port in the July election.
