Ain't it The
Truth?
A Timely Hint
The American Eagle Is About to
break into politics joining the eleph
ant nnd mo painted donkey as narty
symbols and succeeding the late lam
ented nun Moose. The names of poli-
tical parties may soon be expected to
resemble tho roster of blc leacuo base
ball teams; in a few years there may
he the Wildcats the Bronchos tho
Navigators tho Red So and tho
Ilravcs to say nothing of a heteroge
nous assortment ot Phillies Panthers
Giants nnd cubs. The world do move

We now hnvo the donkey tho ele
phant tho camel nnd prospects for
tho eagle. No political party should
bo allowed to adopt the eagle for that
majestic bird belongs to all Ameri-
cans. It Is the cniblcm of America
just as the lion is the cmble innf Kug-
land ahd the buzzard of Mexico.

You never have any
small change when
they pass the contri-
bution plate:
The Taylor County Farmers Short
Course to be held at the Central West
Texas Fair Grounds August 7th. 8th
and 9th will doubtless attract a con-
siderable crowd of people since some
of tho best speakers and agricultural
exports of the atate wilt he in attend-
ance and conduct the program. Pro-
fessional men of all callings mer-
chants bankers editors and minis-
ters find it to bo to tholr advantago
to incut and study together Improved
methods of handling their business.
Farmers who attend meetings hold
for fanners c'lnlm they are always
more than paid for tho time and cx-
PCDBO that It requires. Come to Abi-
lene during the sessions ot the com-
ing meeting and see what you think of
tho Farmers Short Course plan.
Postmaster General IJurlosou de-
clares: "If I can keep down uselcbs
extravagance not postal hut politi-
cal In tho rurnl mall sen Ice. I could
promise now that I would take tho
first step towards penny postage."
The Postmaster General muut'.ons two
ether unnecessary expenses. Tho
flooding or tho mallB with froo post-
ago by members of congress and tho
abuses of the second class nails.
Penny postage is an advance stop
that the people are entitled to have
as soon as tho rovenues of tho pos-
tal department will permit however
penny postage will mean more to the
large business concerns than It will
mean to tho ordinary person. Let It
come as coon as tho Postmaslor Gon-
cral is ready to tako caro of the Pos
tal Department on that basis.
LAND IJAXKS-
The United Statos is to havo twelve
land loan hanks. The uew rural cred-
its bill providing for their establish-
ment has been signed by President
Wilton. Tho Reporter is not prepar-
ed to bay that tho bill Is just what the
country neeuX wo aro not even pre-
prred to say that the bill Is tho best
bill that could havo been passed by
Congress yet wo believe that the law
Is a Btep towards tho solution of tho
rural problems of tho nation. It Is at
leaBt a recognition of the demand for
better facilities for serving tho fann-
ers of the nation. Tho now banks
will bo under the dircetiou of the Fed-
eral Reserve Banks and will have the
active support ami encouragement of
tho Reserve System. It is not always
Ibo to borrow money no matter how
essy It may be obtained nor bow low
the Interest chargo inay be. In fact
the wisest course for people to pur-
sue is to stay out of debt but there
are times wheu most people need to
borrow money. When those times
come tho farmer who has the best
security known to the buslnobb world
should be able to get what money ho
needs at a very lovy Interobt charge.
President Wllbon in signing the rural
credits bill said:
"The farmers it seems to we. have
occupied hitherto a singular position
of disadvantage. They have not had
the same freedom to got credit on
their real estate that Others uvsv had
who were In manufacturing and com-
mercial enterprises and while they
have bufatalned our life they did not in
tkt saroa degree with otheis Uiaro In
tho benefits of that life. Therefore
thU bill along with the very liberal
provisions of the federal reserve act.
puts them upon an equality with all
others who liavc genuine a&sets and
makes the great credit of the country
available to them. One cannot but
feel that this is delayed Justice to
them I look forward to the benefits
of this bill not vlth extravagant ex-
IwttatiauB. but with confident Qipc-
tatlon that It will he of ery wide
retelling benefits and Incidentally it
will be at &dvantst; to the Inventing
community? for I can Imagine no mora
jtatufaetory aud bolld uivoetiuuu
t&cu til system will afford those
wteo have moaty to usa.M
Notoriety
Interest In Joe KiiowIob proposed
second trip to the woods and back to
nnturo Is enhanced by the request of
twenty or more young women to nc-
pompany him. Tho devil finds work
fur idle hands to do and it is n bit
more thnn probable that It is his Sat
anic majesty that is prompting the
daughters of thr Idle rich to join
Knowlcs. Austin American.
Press dispatches now state that nt
least two young womon will go to the
wilderness with Joe In the allot-other
lust as the Hon Is the emblem of Hng-
dtpouent salth not but it seems Idle
to BUggest that Joe Is from Missouri.
.MMnke Somewhere
A college professor has Vomt' lor-
ward with the assertion that sharks
do not bite people. He say tho stor
ies of alleged man-eating sharks Kill
ing persons along the caBt coast have
been manufactured for tlio lovo oi no
torlrtv. lie further claims that the
onlv Ilvo things that sharks eat are
Btunll fish. The professor may be cor
rectlv lnfonned. hut ho will havo to
ctad'.catc the impression created by
the storlcb that sailors have been
telllnc for tho lonEcst before ho will
convince tho avornKo person that
gn hunting around sharks is not dan-

It la bandy possible that the men
nnil liovs who Were blttun in two by
tho sharks were reigning. Perhaps
tin lonrited professor would have us
believe that a naughty wave uui me
