That Governor Ferguson spesks truly

quite' as Just as was Governor Col-

Rut the point Is that a continuance of
these mishaps is rather to be expe t-
ed. and they cannot therefore be ac-
cepted as a Justification of a policy
that has been so costly to the state.
Governor Ferguson Is even more per-
vious to this criticism than his j rede

of diversifying the enterprises of the
penitentiary system he la committing
It to the single enterprise of farming.

Senator Morris Sheppard lias l.otl-

desire to go ss a delegate from Texas

fice holders snd c andidates should not
shape the policies snd plut forms to
suit their own ideas but leave that
to tl.e people. It does look like they
should be willing to leave something

THE STORE FOR VALUES IN MEN'S WEAR
The Waco Times-Herald wants to
know why Governor Ferguson per
slsts in putting all the penitentiary
erg In one basket meaning the buy-
ing of more farms. The governor no
doubt does not believe It would be
good business policy to dabble with a
dozen different things especially
when nine out of every ten men sent
to the penitentiary know only farm
work or have no trade at all.

THE JITNEY'S PROGRESS.
From such Information tu cttie t
hand we draw a ralnltl conclusion
that the Jitney bus fs inoiig to
enicfti- Ctom Its re.olullonay stut
In other words to cease le'.ng revolu-
tionary at all.
For a little while and In certain lo-
calities the lltney bus enabled v!r-
tuMly any man with a very little
money or -credit to set up in business
fir hlniKelf. It was like the discov-
ery of a new free gold or oil field.
Wp.nln Its limited sphere of opera-
tion it was like a sudden acces.irn
ol free government land upon which
almost any corner could settle. For
a time on the Pacific coast especially
any carpenter bookkeeper salesman
cr what not. could quit his employer
or cease seeking an employer-If he
hud r.one and run his own 'ic hack.
To thousands Hie adventure liHd all
the roman a of prospecting for gold.
Obviously If the jitney bus had beeq
rajinble of indefinite extension its ef-
fect would have been tremendously
revolutionary. With a free choice be-
tween earning a wage and running a
Jitney labor's relation to ci:plt;il
would nae been wiw-ij ciiuhm-u. ic
was an Instinctive recognition of the
thing's unsettling possibilities no
i . i. i i '
cloult that made conservation evry
where frown upon It. Try to Imagine
New York and Chic ago with tens of
thousands now holding Jobs all rs-j
reenlng hither and yon at will pick-
ing up fares for their own Jitney cars!
The thought's Implications make one
giddy!
Nowadays the Jitney seems by way
of getting Itself properly standardized
and conventionalized wth bigger
busses requiring a larger capital In
vestment aud the profitable routes
duly pre-empted. The next step very
likely will be Jitney fcis corporations
with virtually monopolistic fran-
chises with stockholder on the one
side and wage-earning operatives on
the other. The Jitney bus will then
be thoroughly respectable but not
nearly so Interesting. Saturday Even-

CORN
ow
A LIVE ISSUE
County Demonstration Agent Urges
Farmer to Use Care In the
Selection of Planting Seed.
1 want to ask the farmers what
they have done or are going to do
about their seed corn for planting this
spring? Under present conditions I
consider the see-! corn question one
of the most serious that Is now con
fronting our people. Aside from the
freezes and floods in early spring
the overflows In April the drought
In May and early June and then the
storm In August last year there
would have been a short corn croi
any way on account of so much In
ferlor seed planted. 1 have had num
bers of men who had scarcely ever
llefore made a failure In corn pro-
durt'on to tdl we they made a com-
I lete failure on account of the seed
they planted. I never saw so much
sorry corn nor heard so much com
llajnt over any one thing as there
was over sorry seed corn last year.
And It goes without snylng that un
less farmers everywhere use a great
deul of caution and good Judg-
ment condition wii le worse this
year than they were last from the
fact that there wtis so much corn In-
jured In the A-:g lst storm that much
of it will not do to plant.
Have you been selecting your corn
while feeding since gathering time?
Huve any of you tested yo:ir seel
corn as to Its germination qualities?
Or are you go'ng to wait till plant-
ing time and then Just In a big rush
go ahead and plant anything you can
get?
The demonstration agent Is rea.'.y
to come to any farmer" home' In tlic
county and put his corn on test so
he may know what he Is planting:
that Is if the farmer himself does not
know how to test it I am willing to do
anything to help to Improve the qual
Ity of seed corn for the farmers of
this county for I know that the corn
crop can be Increased per cent sim-
ply by- Improving the seed that we
plant. Then Improve our soil and
bring It back to Its original produc-
tivity and we will In a very short
time again be raising corn on the uie
hinds In Ilrazoa county In paying
quantities. Hut It will never be done
mder the present method of trestlu?
i'nd taking care of our soil snd ss
long as there is no more attention
: svn
to the selection of our seed. .
This question should be with every
farmer In the county. If I haven't
I my seed corn on nana wncre am i
going to get It? And what klud am
- l0 And If I have It on
J hand
am I certain that It Is good.
sound vigorous corn? These are ques-
tlons that you must snswer pretty
soon it you intend to plant corn tins
year. And 1 want to say right here
that Draxos County' next year's corn
supply will depend largely on how you
treat these questions within the next
six weeks. A. W. BUCHANAN.

TEXAS WONT PLAY A. AND M.

Disagreement Over Court May Dispel
Prospects of Garnet Between the

Basket ball warriors from the

as' University five this season aa was
planned at a meeting of athletic of-
ficial recently. Tbe stumbling stone
In the way of the same I tb refusal
of Texas to meet the Aggies on an
ludoor court. Texas has both an out
door and Indoor court but there Is
little room for spectator in th gym-
nasium where the Indoor court is lo
cated. A. and M. has an Indoor court
only and the Agglee ssy that to meet
the Texan on an outdoor court would
give th Longhorn big advantage
over them. Th Aggies hsve offered
to play Stat two games at A. and M.
and two game anywhere vise on any
Indoor court that Texaa might choose.
Just now it doe not seem likely that
Texaa will agree to these propositions
and all hope of a game between the
two flvea seems to have "gone a
glimmering."
