Also "A man void of understanding strikcth hands and becom-

..When you sign another's bond you are binding yourself for years.
What will happen in the next ten years? You dont know.
Why should you ask a friend to sign with you when you can easily
get a surety bond?

Commissioner Terrell
Will Not Hold Any
institutes mis iear
Commissioner of Agriculture Geo.
B. Terrell will not call a meeting
of the State Farmers' Institute this
year because of bad financial con-
ditions of the farmers and his in-
ability to secure free transportation
or reduced rates for the meeting.
His statement follows:
"To Secretaries of Farmers' In-
st it ot.-.s:
"This is to adwso you that a del-
egated meot.ng of the State Farm-
ers' Institute will not be held this
s'lnvo r li-caiis; of the imjvivejvsii-i-i
financial conditions of the farm-
ers reruli 1 irg a great many c
them unable () at'end the mect-
iiig. "The Sta'e laws permit the R:i 1-
r iaN to give free transportation fir
(ic e meet i gj and I tried to se-
cure so h free transport.-!' i in but
the Railroads declined to grant the
transportation in the follow ii
statement: "in view of the etab.
lished rule not to issue any free
transportation not authorized by the
Interstate Commerce Commi-sinn
Act it would not be consistent for
us to make an exception in this
cause and issue the transportation
requested.'
"Since we ennnot secure free
transportation and cannot get re-
duced rates except on the certifi-
cate plan which require the pur-
chase of a large numher of tickets
at full fare before the reduction is
granted on the return ticket and
knowing the attendance under ueh
conditions would not be large
enough to secure a reduction in
rates. I have decided not to c nil
the State Institute this year. I re-
gret this very mm h a the farmers
oMi'ht to come t' gi-ther once a year
and discuss plans for bettering their
conditions. Hut the conditions above
-'ated make it impossible to have
the meeting this year.
Respectfully
Geo. B. Terrell Commissioner."

NOTICE

tion Number 5
Just organized has nearly 100 members and in view of the fact
that more people have indicated a desire to join than it will take to
fill it we suggest any who expect to join avail yourself of the op-
portunity at an early date as the indications are we will fill it in
sixty days.
We had an ambition to get up five Associations and have
made good on four of them and in less time than we had expect-
ed each of them is now worth a full thousand dollars No. 4 hav-
ing 1000 members instead of 100 as was erroneously reported a
few days ago.
Every one ought to have a policy in Lubbock Mutual Aid Assn.
even if you have plenty of other insurance as this is a home in-
dustry that is worthy of the patronage of all our citizens es-
pecially when it offers insurance at cost which has been very low
an average of $5.00 a year for 6 years. We hope to see the good
day (soon) when all five of the Assns. will bo standing full then
the person who has taken in all of them will have a pretty nice
little amt. of insurance with us. Delay is uncertain join us with-
out it.
