ATROCIOUS BIGOTRY
According to a special staff
correspondent of one of the
large daily newspapers in the
state, there was a flogging en-
acted in Harrison County, the
same being not far distant
from Marshall, Texas. It is
stated that a group of men en-
tered the homes of two tenant
farmers at that place and lash-
ed the father of one family
the mother of the same family
knocked the father of another
family in the head and severe-
ly whipped the mother of the
same family. One arrest has
been made in the ease and
other arrests are promised.
The good citizens of that sec-
tion cannct approve of such
actions. They are real men;
they will not allow such per-
petrations to go unpunished.
Regardless of what the tenants
have done or what their records
may be, no set of men, unauth-
orized by the courts, has any
right to t^ke matters into their
own hands and assess punish-
ment. Lawlessness like this
were it practiced everywhere
would throw a nation into re-
volution with a quickness un-
paralleled.
"otJR DADS
Most families- thin\k >that
Dad's Day, is the first of
every month and that is very
true but there is one day set
aside each year as the day to
pay a tribute to our fathers
and this year it comes on th^
lyth of June.
The name father carries a
world of meaning. It signi-
fies head "of the family,
the provider of the means of
a livlinood, the protector, the
medium whereby the contact
between the family anj the
outside is made and the crea-
tion of the family name.
This honor carries with it
a deep responsibility. As
the father so will be the
reputation of the child. Should
his reputaton be good then
the paths of the descendants
are smooth and ripe for a
successful career; if it be bad
there are difficulties to over
come that are oftentimes never
surmounted by the children, or more. New England wants
He makes possible, in most I cheap raw material, and her
' cases, the success or the fail-
ure of the child. The stigma
of an ill-fated sire is never
completely obliterated but a
good father leaves a heritage
to his boys and girls that can
never be erased.
But the term "DAD"' has
come to mean something more
dearer than the word father.
It signifies a comradeship
between father and child that
is deep seated and shows a
filial love that speaks of close
ties and a fellowship that can-
not be based upon fear but
upon a fine confidence found
nowhere else. There is no sub
stitute of Dad. Upon him one
rests absolute dependence. One
knows that in the hour of dis
tress and need at the crisis,
all available help possible will
be forthcoming.
Then to him, and acknowledge
ment of fair tribute is due and
every descendent, who has fil-
ial, love in his heart desires
to tell his Dad in plain words,
"I love you."
So here's to you "DAD"'
There's never a day out that
you are in my mind and even
though I fail to tell you so,
I revere you, feel very close
to you and love you.

Be NEIGHBORS
Twelve good citizens from
Winnsboro journeyed through
Mineola Friday afternoon en-
route to Callaway's Crossing
for a fish fry. They were joint-
ed there by several Mineola
citizens. Everybody had a fine
time together. And just here
is a splendid story and moral.
A better acquaintance was
formed between citizens of both
sections of Wood County; Min-
eola citizens learned to like the
friends and visitors from the
north end of the county; it
is hoped that this feelinsr was
reciprocated; a closer fetling
anj a friendly oint of cont act
was formed by this association
a continuance of such meetings
which brings these two towns
into a finer relation and will
stimulate a county spirit which
will in time grow into a unified
force /for county building.
That's what Wood County
needs.
After all, the citizens of this
eotnrtyT^fear- north to sfrpkh,
are chips from the same blGck,
members , of the Same- gr*'
family and will work togetli
for the common good of all,
if they will get together more
in just such friendly past-times
and learn to know each other
better. It would be great, if
groups pf Mineola citizens
would entertain the friends
from the northern section of
the county quite often and be
entertained by them in the
same manner. Let the move
be started and watch old Wood
County grow.

WHO IS DIRECTING OUR
THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS
The South has permitted
New England to do its cotton
thinking since the Civil War.
The publicity bureau for the
South's cotton crop has been
located and directed in New
York for the past half century

propaganda is to that end.
At the meeting of the Tex-
as Cotton Association, an as-
sociation of cotton buyers, Mr.
H. Parker Willis, editor of the
New York Journal of Commerce
is quoted as saying: "Plans
contemplating the withholding
of cotton from the market is
bad for all interested; that
sooner or later this cotton must
be put on the market, the re-
sult inevitably to be depres-
sion in trade and resultant
losses."
This sort of propaganda is
no new thing from our enemy
publicity bureau. Producing
cotton is our basic inductry.
Manufacturing is the basic in-
dustry (of the New England
States. We are told we must
not "withhold'' cotton from
the market, for what it is
worth, but sell it for any old
price New England speculators
make and offer for it. Does
New England throw her prod-
ucts on the market at any old
price the South might offer
them? Nay, verily! She prices
them as high as foreign compe-
tition will permit and f^en Puts
a triff on import to double the
price to the cotton producers
and consumers of the South,
and thinks jt good business to I
" withhold" them from the I
market for their price. From
the New England standpoint,
that which is "sauce for the
gander." It has ever been so,
and will continue until we re-
pudiate and ignore as friendly
that which emanates from an
enemy source.
New England's propaganda
spreaders find fertile ground in
the South for the seed they
sow. Those in the South who
profit by the fluctuations in
the price of cotton, cherish
such remarks.
Farming nor the business de-
pending upon it will never be
stable, prosperous or depend-
able until the price of cotton
is made so by the South having
a say in it, based on the cost
of production, regardless of
whether it suits New England
Or not.

cutter bar and how fully the John Deere meets
every field condition.
John Deere Mower
The Mower with the High, Easy Lift
The foot lift raises theianer
shoe high enough to clear or-
dinary obstructions and the
outer shoe from 25 to 35
inches. With hand lever the
inner shoe will pass over all
obstructions cleared by
doubletree and the outer shoe
is raised extremely high.
Mower cuts with bar in

John Deere in any fieM in
which you can use a hay
rake—and a boy can run it.
Other advantages of the
John Deere are: Instant
starting of knife; special
drive gear construction re'
duces wear and increases
power; no crank shaft end
thrust; easily-made adjust-
ments in the field with ordi-
nary tools; improved con-
struction of cutting parts.
