SILOS.
Hhe creamery business la rapidly
growing in the .Suite mi Texas At
present there are seventy-fi/e
creameries running in the State.
The building of silos is a most eco-
nomical necessity by the farmer,
Hand in a few years it will be seen
that these green feed stulf preserv-
ers can not be gotten along without.
The creamery is the coming money
crop for the farmer, every day In
the year.—Weothcrford Herald.
The silo ought to become as usual
on every businesslike farm as can-
ned fruits and vegetables are usual
In the thrifty housewife's pantry.
^Tbe silo is just a canning factory
for feed Btuff, and if it is desirable
to preserve fruits In their natural
freshness for the farmer's table it
la desirable also to preserve green
food for the delectation of his live
Stock. In those fertile regions
where stock farming has been re
duced to n practical science and
where the farms are worth fabulous
prices, the silo is considered as es-
sential, Just as a cotton gin Is es-
teemed necessary for the prosperity
of a cotton growing community. And
we doubt not that a mess of fresh
reens in the barn lot on Christinas
Day is enough to make a horse
laugh.—^Dallas News.
Buy It In MPKinney. It Is Just as
good as you can get anywhere, and
the chances are it is cheaper.
Now let us all get together and
work hard for ,the common cause—
the upbuilding and advancement of
I McKinney.
It Is announced that Burrel Ontes
Is to hang on November 29. We
will believe tlytt when we are sure
that it Is over with.
I The lilgtuoost of living is said to
be mostly duo to waste. Wo are
sure that tills theory Is correct. As
evidence, note the waist of the high
livers.
Personalities should not enter in-
to any matter which lias for its ob-
ject the best interests of the whole
people and the welfare of the town
or county In which we live.
Just an even dozen days from
now and the big Show comes off. And
then Teddy and Willie will have
plenty of time to go hunting, play
golf, or any other old thing that
suits their fancy.
Greenville, our neighbor city, took
first prize on agricultural display at
tho State Fair. And Collin county
could have been right in the same
class with Hunt If our people had
so willed and taken the time and
trouble to asset lble and place on ox
hibition the products of this county
According to reports in the Paris
papers, the pickpockets following
the iiarnum-Balley circus were ply-
ing tholr trude In tliut city last Mon
day, tho day the circus exhibited
there. It is Indeed regrettable that
these fellows cannot bo captured
convicted and given the severest
penalty.
State Chairman Cato Sells has is-
Bued a final, strong appeal to the
people of Texas to come to the aid
of the Democratic party with con-
tributions to pay the expense of the
presidential campaign. Dig up, gen-
tlemen, it is for a righteous cause,
and unless we exercise the proper
spirit of generosity we will have no
one to blame but ourselves if the
Democratic ticket Ib defeated at the
polls on November 5 .
While records are being broken
In all other lines, the railroads are
coming in for their share of noto-
ilety in the movement of raw ma-
terials and manufactured products,
rrafflc managers say that never be-
fore have their roads been called up-
on to handle so much freight of all
classes as they have during the pres-
ent month, and they anticipate even
a greater demand on their equip
ment during November and Decern
her.
Willis, a town in Montgomery
county, with a population of 1,100,
adopted a commission form of gov-
ernment at an election held In that
city Inst Monday. At the same time
the people elected a mayor and two
commissioners Willis* has always
been just a little, quiet, get-along-
the-boBt-we-can kind of a place, but
now watch it move out on a pro-
gressive scale.
Good crops cannot be made pay-
ing crops when transportation fa-
cilities are lacking, either in the
matter of rail or dirt roitys. To get
all the benefits of a good crop it is
ssential that we have good county
roads over which the farmers may
get their products to the shipping
market, and then good railroads
over which to ship the product to the
consulting market. No section can
hope to advance or even get the best
it is entitled to without these essen-
tials.
Three separate and distinct re-
bellions are now in progress in Mexi-
co, at the head of each of which is
man who does not want the job
of president, but says he is working
nly in the interest of the masses,
and that for their sake, is going
to serve in that capacity until his
successor can be selected by the peo-
ple. And lie i3 hoping, very likely,
that they will decide to select him.
Jack Johnson, (lie negro brute
pugilist, is Hearing his grave. fHe
made the statement In Chicago that
he could "get any white woman in
Chicago to ride with him" In his
auto. Johnson's white wife recently
omftiltted suicide, nnd now lie has
another white girl that he is trying
to marry. If Jack will just come to
Texas and make a break like this,
he won't*lnst as long us a snow ball

The unusual has happened, and
Senator Culberson has put him-
self squarely on record as being

when he does make up his mind on a

PRESS COMMENT.
Back to the farm is ^noBtly talk.
It Ib very nice to talk of the freedom
on the farm and the Independence
one is supposed to feel and the good
eating that somehow is supposed ta
be associated with farm life. But
farm IIfo Ib not all sunshine.—Tyler
Courier-Times.
No, farm life Ib not all sunshine.
Neither Is any other life all sun-
shine. It was said a long time ago
by a poet who knew his trade that
in each life some rain must fall, and
there Is no rain without clouds.
Anyway, an Eternity of sunshine
would get on any normal man's
nerves. But the farmer sees more
of the sunshine than any town man
sees. He isn't cooped up inside p
small office all day long,
at nightfall Leisurely mount his
philosophic plow mule and ride
home through the soulful gloaming
while his urban cousin is scramb-
ling for a toe-hold on the running
.board of a street car. And when he
gets home tho farmer can wash his
sunburned face in the pan on the
back porch and then sit down to a
bountiful supper of fried barn and
scrambled eggs without wondering
what the grocer's bill Is going to be
It is true that the farmer misses
a good many moving pictures. But
he has a lot of natural scenery to
solace him.—Dallas News.

If we had prayed more, we need
nofc-hnvo worked sq hard. We have
tob little praying race to face with
Ood every day. Looking hack at the
end, 1 suspect there will be great
grief for our sin/ of omission —omis-
sion to get Trom Ood what we
might have got by praying.
We are to be like .Teiius Christ. Do
not be in a hurry and so eager to
have multitudes converted that you
have forgot the man that is not con-
verted in your own house and at
your own firseside. It is not by
banners and by trumpets and by de-
monstrations that the work of Ood
Is going to be done, but by holy liv-
ing, by patient forben ranee, by one
saved man going out to save another.
A man learns to love books by
reading, and songs by singing; but
the greatest of all loves, tho love of
humanity, of lives, is learned by
bringing into our own life the spirit
of the great Friend of all pieu. It
is learned Just by living with people,
by tking time to find out what is
In thenifc by stopping long enough
in our mad business of making a liv-
ing to rcnlize that the best things of
life lie in love and life of others.

We see then what religion means.
The goal of life is the Expression of
life. The expression of life depends
upon knowledge of life. The only
Interpreter of life Is the Maker et
life. Tho religious man Is, then the
Interpreted man, the man who, hav-
ing come to Ood, has awakened to
what he la and to what he may be.
The religious life is not the repres-
sive, £ut the expressive life. It la
not'Mflsclpllne, but an opportunity,
the very way of life Itself, The rellg-
!ou man Is simply he who comes to
himself In - the presence of his
Maker. «■*•
When you love one another as
brothers and treat each other re-
ciprocally as such, and each one,
seeking his own good in the good of
all, shall Identify his own life with
the life of all, and shall always-be
ready to sacrifice himself for ail the
members of the common family, and
they equally ready to sacrifice them-
selves for him, most of the Ills which
weigh today upon the human race
will >*ijisli like thick mists gathered
upon the horizon vanish at the rits-
ing of the sun; since it it His will
that Love shall unite little, and ever
more closely, the scattered 'elements
of Humanity and 'order them in a
single bodj>, and Humanity be one,
as He is one.
Resignation is the courage of old
age; it will grow in its own season,
and it is a good day when it comes
to us. Then there are no more dis-
appointments, for wo have learned
that It is even better, to desire the
things that we have, than the things
that we desire. And is not the best
of all our hopes.—the hope pf Im-
mortality—always before us? How
can we be dull or heavy while we
have that new experience to look
forward to7 It will bring us our
best asquaintances and friendships.
But there is only one way to get
ready for immortality, and that is to
love this life, Und live it as bravely
and faithfully as wo can.
To use aright all the time and
opportunity that we now
would for the most of us mean a
life of such output as we daro not
think 4b possible. If we could have
now available, for example, every
minute of time that we have wasted^
since the first of the yean and draw'
on that surplus "time account" for
all tho time we need to do things
that arte now being crowded out or
sadly postponed, what a wealth of
resource It would mean to us! If
we should use to Its fullest capacity
every minute of the time atlll left to
ua between now and the close of this
,year, what a record of accomplish*
ment this would mean! Just such

A Christian Gentleman.
He Is above a mean thing. He can-
not stoop to fraud. He Invades no
secret In the keeping of another. He
never takes selfish advantages of
mistakes. He never struts In bor
rowed plumage. He uses no wea-
pons in controversy. He never stabs
in the dnrk. Ho Is not one thing to
a man's fa<-e and another behind
his back. If by accident he comes
in possession of his neighbor's coun-
sels, he passes upon them an ac,t of
Instant, oblivion. He bears sealed
packages without tampering with
the wax. Papers not meant for his
eye are sacred to Jilm. He Invades
no privacy of others, however' the
sentry sleeps. Dolts and bars, locks
and koys, hedges and pickets, bonds
and securities, notices to trespassers
are none of them for hlin. He may
be trusted alone, out of sight, near
the thinnest partition—anywhere.
He buys no offices, he sells none, he
intrigues for none. He would rather
fall of his rights than win them
through dishonor. He will eat hon-
est bread. He tramples on no sen-
sitive feeling. He insults no man.
If he have rebuko for another, he is
sttpdghtforward, open, manl/J he
cannot descend to scurrility. In
Bhort, whatever ho Judges honorable
he practices toward every man.
The setting of a great hope is
like the setting of the sun—the
brightness of our life Is gone; shad-
ows of the evening fall behind us,
and the world seems but a dim re-
flection Itself—a broader shadow.
We look forward into the coming
lonely night; the soul withdraws it-
self: tne stars arise, nnd the
night is holy.
* • f
It is no great matter to associate
with the good and gentle, for this
is naturally pleasing to all. But to
be able to live peacefully with hard
and perverse persons, or with the
disorderly, or with such as go con-
trary to us, is a great graqe and a
most commendable and mauly thing.
A flower will not grow apart from
light. The sun's warm rays paint
the beauty of the flower. They trans-
mute themselves Into the rich juices
of the fruit. There is an alchemy in
light whose secret no chemist knows.
Nor can a human heart unfold from
an environment that is not warm
and nourishing. The drooping heart
Is an infallible sign of a soil that is
frigid and a shadow that is deep.
This world is no^, and waswiot in-
tended to be a place of settled hap-
piness All human beings have
troubles, and as the years pass away
those troubles become more numer-
ous, more heavy, and more hard to
bear. The ordeal through which
humanity is passing is an ordeal of
discipline for spiritual development.
To live in honor, to labor with stead-
fast industry, and to endure with
cheerful patience is to be victor-
ious.
It is not the ability,^he educa-
tion, the knowledge that one has
that makes the difference between
men. The mere possession of know-
ledge Is npt always the possession of
power; k/iowledge which has not
been digested and assimilated, and
become a part of yourself, know-
ledge which <^in not swing into line
in an emergency is of little use, and
will not save you at the critical mo-
ment.
