Some people not only take a fiend-
ish delight in boring other people but
never seem to grow weary of the pas-
time. The Ananias Club now numbers
among its membersbip"iill the official
-war bureaus of Europe.
So many reforms nave been sug-
gested for the Terrell election law
that the overworked statute would be
annihilated if turned over toithe re
formers for improvement To say
the least it has elected several good
democrats to fat jobs since it became
operative.
If all. the Germans in the United
States who are now busily telling of
the greatness of the Fatherland and
how easy it can "whip the allied ar-
mies were only permitted to go to
the war zone and fight life would
at least.be better worth living in

sibly $100000 of this currency will be
received by the Brownwood banks dur
ins the next few weeks and every lit
tie bit helps. A stack of $25000 or
$30000 of currency has an imposing
appearance and one is tempted to re
move his hat when permitted to gaze
upon it. Wonder how the bank offic-
ials feel when they are validating this
currency
with their signatures?
T.ocnl srraiii dealers complain that
their business has been excessively
worrisome this year. The greatest
cause for worry is the grade of grain
that is offered on the market. Owing
to the late rains much of the grain
was avowed to remain' in the fields
after being cut and as a consequence
the quality of -the oats' and wheat-
especially the oats has been mater
ially lowered. Several carload lots
have been ' refused by local dealers
within the past ten days on this- ac
count- They declare there is absolutely
no feed value in the grain -and that
it can not be handled on that account
What a wonderful change has been
made in the . Brownwood waterworks
during the past year! Formerly
Brownwood was known far and wide
as a town whose water supply was
inexhaustible but very very rotten.
Visitors to this city refused to bathe
here on account of the color of the
water. Some declared it was too thick
to run through the pipes and all
agreed that it was not fit water for a
town t)f Brownwood's size and im-
portance. The water now delivered
through the-waterworks system is
sparkling clear and pure and instead
of having a bad reputation on account
of its water Brownwood is frequently
entertaining officials of other cities
who have water problems for solution.
Brownwood unfortunately is occa-
sionally slow fn doing the things she
does but she always does them;
. $ uon i lorgei mat every citizen lias
' - l .
a duty to perform in preparing for
the Free Fall Fair which will begin
October 7th and continue through
three .days. The Commercial Club
'has perfected its organization-of com-
mittees to look after each of the de-
partment but there is yet Work to
be done by every individual citizen.
If you can do nothing else tell visit-
ors Qt the attractions the Free Fail
Fair will offer. Don't be afraid of ex-.
aggerating it is not necessary :nf

MATRIMONY.
The Abilene Reporter remarks that
if it ever goes sailing it won't be on
. .
the North Sea. And even on the well
known Sea of Matrimony the sailing
isn't always safe. Brownwood Bulle-
tin. You seem to speak from experience.
As for Us we have found that it i
pleasant sailing the only difficult part
about it being the embarking and art-
er that the Journey nas always nccn
a safe one. There have been very
few "squalls" and at no time has there
'been a "storm." We still repeat that

'" 1 I 'Y-A- B A LE."
Brownwood has asked Henry Fori:
tha great automobile manufacturer to
; buy one thousand bales of cotton on
the "Buy-a-Bale" plan This sort or
a plan should appeal to' a man who
gave away ten millions of dollars io
his employes and it is a safe bet that
Brownwood will get what she asked
for. All the other towns in TexaB will
then kick themselves for not thinking
of it first. Brenham Banner.
Why didn't the Banner think of
having Brenham ask John" D. Rocke-
feller to buy 10000 bales? We are
surprised that you did not thinji of
that. We are not kicking ourselves
that we didn't ask Ford to buy his
cotton here. We have enough patriotic
citizens not to have to go for outside
help to that extent. We suppose Bren-
ham has also. Abilene Reporter.

buy as many bales as Abilene's pat-

the M. A. Packard Shoe Co. of St. '

ern and eastern concerns looks

county. Brownwood not only used
her resources to. the fullest extent
but succeeds in doing what other

SELLING TIME HAS CO.MK.
In view of the fact that this ear's
cotton croj) will undoubtedly total fif
teen million bales eight and one-half
cents is regarded as a fair price for
cotton. Lven with the handicap of
the creat war in Eurone this irk-e

expect when the crop reaches the fif- and put some asfoedita in it and is lure!lUU 111 iratns oui me ora ae-
teen million-bale mark. The market I using it for puemonin medicine. spatches. The Parson has no monop-
price of cotton has been eight cents.
or more all this week and It mav Jot
remain at that figure long. Ttierefore
it behooves the farmers to sell all the
cotton they have on hand and sell at
once. The Buy-a-Bale movement has
accomplished a great deal but its fu-
ture etlect on the market wjl-1 un-
doubtedly be suiall. This movement
has boosted thp price or cotton from;
tn s i-2 cnnn nmi t)wr.. it win mirt
Tlie farmers will not endorse the
ad vice to sell their cotton at the pres-
ent market prices; they began tlie
vear's work with the idea that they
couiil get twelve cents for their cot
ton and many of them still think so
Nevertheless present conditions are
tinlike any that have vcr ar.-'cn T'c
whoh of America is siifH.'iiiig as a
result of the luiropean war which
caught this nation unawares; Cotton
is the staple c-roj) of the South and
is the only crop of runny farmers in
the South. To hold this vearV croiTorf
the market in sufficiently large quan-
tities to bring the price up to ten or
twelve cents would require not only
more money than can be made avail-
able within the next six. months but
would cause many business . institu-
tions to crash with ouormous loss
The farmer is the Atlas of the
South he hears a 'greater 'part of the
burden of supporting-Ihe people. As
conditions now are however the bus-
iness men and bankers of the South
are bearing the farmer's burdens and
unless a considerable quantity of cot-
ton is sold an intolerable condition
will soon arise. Let every farmer
sell alj the cotton he can dispose of
a! eight cents per pound or more and

to the channels' of trade. The banker i
needK it the jlry goods man needs it 'the grocer needs it. the Hardware man i
needs it. and they must have it. In
the spring the farmer secured help
frni his banker and from the merchant-
of the town who loan him
mone and sell him goods on ' Tall
.time; -' that is he promise's to pay
when liis cotton is out. If the mar-
ket price is not satisfactory and the
"niton is held by the farmer n con-
dition upon which the business men
t'fid not calculated arises and some-
thing must be done. Such a condition
ha; arisen all over -Ihe South. - The
busings men are the best friends the
farmer has. and they always do their
nt most to promote his interests be-
cause their interests are interdepend-
ent. When the time comes as il has
come that the best Interests of both
the farmer and the hp-duress man can
be served by selling oUton on the
open market at the prevailing prices-
the farmer is in duty bound to sell.
His problem is a community problem ' handling any object that.m'ght con-
and his duty is as compelling as his'! tain germs. One day the li tie girl

GENERAL ORDERS.
"Christ's sign upon your brow His
Name upon your tongue
Go forth in bitter hate to deal or
suffer pain;
On blood-drenched fields by rolling
battle-clouds o'erhung
Be it your purpose stirl to slay or
to be slain.
"Your souls shall know no ruth your
eye shall never spare;
Make glad wives widows nursling
babies fatherless;
Where happy homesteads stand leave
smouldering ashes there;
For plenty and content gire want
and bitterness.
"Beat down the monuments upreared
by men of yore
Rich carven walls traced windows
arch and stately dome;
Raze Works of master-hands whicn
Time may ne'er restore;
Burn seer's' recorded thought; de-
molish Learning's home.
"Like flexile willow withes men bend
the stubborn steel
Propel their vast machines with
uns- en vapor breath
A thousand forces tamed subserve the.
common weal:
Therewith have we contrived fell
enginery of death.
"From heaven rain ruin down on hut
' and palace fan-: .
Reap men in ranks as harvesters
their wide swaths reap;
With mines disperse ten thousand
mangled limbs in air;
Shoot unsuspected wreck from
ocean's caverns deep.
"Impoverishing the foe sap your
own wealth the while;
Make peopled lands a desert fruit-
ful fields a waste;
Kill main destroy by open force
and secret guile:
God be your aid in this in Him
your trust be placed."
Ye rulers of the earth reckless with
wrath and pride.
Who send your legions forth to
strive for masterhood.
When Gotl appears to judge O how
shall' ye abide?
What answer will ye make when
He requires their blood?
