THE GRANGER NEWS, GRANGER. TEXAS, JULY 23, 1925
'THEY HAVE KILLED ME—BUT
WE HAVE TAKEN THE WORKS
meetings become very practical In
character. The writer was there laat
summer and hopes to go back this
summer, for he found that there wa
a genuine interest from which he
gathered many ideas that were real-
ly worth while. The time corresponds
with the meetings of the farmers and
the mornings are left open so that
the newspaper folks may go to the
farmers meetings and learn at first
hand how they handle their problems
If yours is a paper for farmers you
should attend these conferences that
begin July 27 at College Station.

Lady Was Very Depressed on
Account of Poor Health.
ill
Mrs. H. S. Miller, of Spindale,
N. C., says: "Five years ago I
was very much run-down in
health. 1 would give out with the
least exertion. At times I would
have to go to bed.
"I read of Cardui. . . My hus-
band got me a bottle and en-
couraged me, to take it. I was
almost a skeleton, 1 was so thin. 1
was run-down and my general
health was very poor. This was
very depressing and 1 was in low
spirits. My husband had to help
me around. He did all he could for
me and had me keep up Cardui.
"1 continued takihg tne medicine
for several months and it was
wonderful the improvement I
made. I gained over twenty
pounds in weight, and I felt so
much better besides. This gain
was permanent, too. I have never
lost tt and my general health has
been much better since 1 took
Cardui."

Farmers' Short Course
Texas A. & M. College will be held in
Texas A. & M. Colege wil be reld in
the week beginning July 27. This ha3
been a feature of A. & M. work for
a great many years, and it is doubt-
ful if there is any thing done at
the College of more far-reaching ef-
fect. Usually there are about 3,000
men, women and children assembled
at the College, practically all of whom
are from the farms, to study the
problems of the farms. There is
something going on all the while of
intense interest to the particular
class for whom the work is intended.
Men and women who have made a
life study of the various farm prob-
lems give the results of their studies
in brief lectures and opinions and ex-
periences are freely exchanged. The
men are interested in matters of the
farm itself: the women spend most
of their time studying home affairs,
and the children—both boys and girls
—give time to consideration of their
own problems of the farm and home.
It is impossible for anyone to spend
the week there without getting some-
thing that is worth more than the
cost of the weeks stay.
• * *
Meeting Others in Same Work
It always pays those engaged In
any pursuit to know others who are
doing the same thing and to exchange
opinions with them: We can nevei
know so much about anything that
some one is able to tell us something
about it we do not know. At the
Farmers Course one will see groups
of people standing around exchang-
ing views about matters in which the*
are much interested. The women
tell each other how they save steps
in their kitchen work, how they re-
furnish their rooms at least cost, and
how they do the thousand and one
things that women have to do aboun
the place. These informal conferen-
ces bring out many new ideas that
may be taken home and used to ad-
vantage. There is something of the
freedom of the picnic about thess
gatherings at College Station, and in
that way they are becoming a profi-
table annual for many both for study
and recreation. Get out your fllv-
er and spend the week of July 27 at
A. & M\ College and you will not re-
gret it.

Farm Writers' Conference
For several years writers on agri-
cultural papers and editors of coun-
try weeklies have been meeting at
College Station during the Short
Course week to talk over the matters
of interest to those who conduct pa-
pers for farmers to read. These
meetings have been growing in size
and interest every year. The expense
of attending them is very small and
the profits in the way of ideas gath-
ered are large. Those who meet here
have about, the same interests, and tne
Getting Acquainted by States
The Austin Rotary Club has start-
ed a movement that it might be well
for other places, even the small towns,
to try. Members of the club from
each state sponsor a picnic to which
all the people of the county from
that state are invited. The Alabaman.^
held the first picnic to which about
two hundred from Alabama went.
Every one from Alabama was
enabled'to get acquainted with other3
who were natives of his State, tell
Alabama stories, sing Alabama songs,
and have a general Alabama good
time. The next week was set aside
for the Arkansas people, and so on
down the list of states. As each fam-
ily takes its lunch and all the lunches
are spread togefhfeiV^hweAs little
trouble other than in arranging for a
family picnic. All that is needed is
for some club to take the lead and
see that a committee from each state
is found to arrange the program. It
is a good thing to know the people
from your native state who live
around you, and these state picnics
bring out a friendly spirit. Try it.

Some East Texas Peaches
The Center Champion has sent this
writer two peaches and they are some
peaches, one weighing ten ounces and
the other eight. They are pink cheek-
ed and luscious looking, and demon-
strate that East Texas grows good
looking fruit of some proportions.
There were two of those peaches, as
has previously been stated, and not
two bushels or two baskets, and as
there are five in the writers family,
it is hard to decide how to divide them
even though they are large enough
to be divided into five parts each.

Short Cotton Crop in Texas
Rains have been spotted in Texas
and in some sections but little cotton
has come up. This is particularly
true of central Texas always regard-
ed as a favored cotton section. Farm-
ers generally agree that where the
crop is up and growing at all the
only hope for it in the dry sections
is in frequent shallow plowing and
keeping the soil pulverized. Even
where it is most thrifty it will be
kept in better condition by frequen.:
plowing.
MILAM FARMER DEEDS
PROPERTY TO 'GOD
ALMIGHTY;' REFUSES
TO PAY TEXES
Can the Lord be sued? Roy Law,
tax collector of Milam county, is puz-
zled over the question nftpr a man
who claims he is the representative
of God Almighty, legal owner of 500
acres of valuable farm land, has re-
fused to pay taxes on it. Law ask-
ed members of the Texas Association
ol tax collectors for advice on the
matter in the afternoon session of the
annual convention here Friday.
Richard Boling, a farmer living
20 miles from Cameron, who also op-
erates a cotton gin on a cash basis
conveyed all his property ni a legal
deed to "God Almighty" about two
years ago, Law said. Since that time
he has refused to pay taxes on it be-
cause he says the Lord has instructed
him not to pay taxes, according to
Law.
"It's a hard question; what would
you do in a case like that?" Law ask-
ed in the convention discussion.
"Sue the Lord," one collector an-
swered.
"Turn him over to the ku klux,'*
President John M. Lowrey suggested, i

Passing through a cemetery the
other day I was struck with the in-
scription on the tombstone of one
of the young Confederate captains
| from the neighborhood—I think he
was about twenty years old when he
fell mortally wounded in one of the
bloody charges in the famous "bat-
tles around Richmond."
This young Southerner's last words
as carved on the tombstone are al-
most unforgettably vivid. Realizing
that his wounds were fatal and deatn
but a few moments away, he yet
thought onfy of the Cause he was
1 serving and died with these exultant
words on his lips:
"They Have Killed Me, but We
Have Taken the Works!"
Far removed as we are now from
the passions and hatreds of the Civil
War, the heart of either friend or foe
must indeed beat faster at the utter,
selflessness of such devotion to an
ideal. Here indeed was enthusiasm
which lifted a man above all concern
for life or wound or suffering. To
him these things mattered not at all
if only they might help forward some-
thing more important than life itself.
And as I left this weatherbeaten
stone, with its still burning message
from the long, long dead, I could only
wish that all of us here and now
might find some cause that would
likewise lift us above the mad ques's
of money or pleasure or power that
seems to characterize the life of to-
day. May we not all look around us
afid ask ourselves if there is not some
movement, some ideal, some ambi-
tion to which we can dedicate our-
selves and finally at life's ending re-
joice that though we die, we have at
least jnade life count for something—
that we have at least "taken the
works" of some obstacle that once
stood in the way of our opinion.
It may be an ambition to get a
square deal for farmers and agricul-
ture.
It may be an ambition to help win
increasing recognition for farming as
the dignified, respected, scientific oc-
cupation it of right ought to be.
It may be an ambition "to see the
farmers of the state or county or com-
munity effectively organized not only
for business co-operation but for mak-
ing each community and each local
organization a little democracy, a
little "government of the farmers, for
1 the farmers, by the farmers" by which,
they may find self expression
and self-government in its fullest
sense.
•It may be an ambition to help for-
ward some movement for the gener-
al good of humanity—as men and wo-
men in other days worked for the
abolition of slavery, the prohibition
of the liquor traffic, or the adoption
of woman suffrage, and as men and
women must now fight for shifting
taxation burdens to unearned incomes
and inheritances, for old age pensions,
and for the universal establishment
human being, no matter how poor,
of public hospitals in which every
may have the most modern hospital
and surgical attention at public ex-
pense.
It may be an ambition just to see
one's own neighborhood distinguish-
ed for the excellence'of its schools, its
churches, its moral tone, for pretty
homes and well-kept farms, and happy
neighborliness of its people.
It may be an ambition to help' the
boys and girls of one's community
by encouraging club work, Sunday
School work, Boy Scout, Camp Fire
Girls, school libraries, playgrounds,
wholesome recreation, and a general
spirit of helpfulness to one another
and to the neighborhood*
It may be an ambition just to make
own one's farm a little example of
thrift and beauty and progress ana
to train one's own children into exem-
plary men and women.
It does not matter much what one's
ambition may be, if only it is some-
thing outside of self, outside of one's
personal gain or pleasure, and big
enough to constitute a real challenge
to all one's powers, Then indeed shall
we find happiness in fighting evet
toward our ideal, and though years
and age triumph over us in the end,
yet it will be enough to know that
we have made life count for some-
thing and that we may say at last in
the spirit of the young Confederate
captain dying in a now forgotten
charge—
"They have killed me—but we have.,
taken the works."—Clarence Poe, in
The Progressive Farmer.
Off The Beaten Path
The real charm of touring lies in leaving the
main-travelled highways and exploring the thou-
sands of alluring side-paths. These dirt roads
and trails lead to spots of rare beauty unvisited
by the throng-—where better camp-sites may be
found—finer fishing and lovelier scenery.
In a Ford car, you can enjoy the thrill of ex-
ploration and discovery. 11 is the one satisfactory
means of travel for these narrow roads—light
—yet so powerful that it will bring you through
—easy to handle—sturdy and economical.
It will carry the whole family and the saving
in cost often pays for the entire vacation.
