THE WORLD WANTS THIS MAN
We seek him everywhere
Amid the throng.
We’ve sought him here and there
And sought him long,
Hoping among the mob
He'll chance to dwell—
The man who knows his job
And does it well!
We know of labor's woes,
Nor hold them light,
But ah, the man who knows
His business—right.

The Morning Dispatch is requested
to ask if any reader has a remedy for
cut-worms. They are doing consider-
able damage, more so than usual, ac-
cording to exppressions from the old-
est inhabitants of Hill county,
William Jennings Bryan has a broth-
er, Chas. W. Bryan, who is priming
himself to enter the gubernatorial
contest for governor of Nebraska.
These Bryans are politicians, however,
in this case no Chautauqua lectures
are mentioned.
He makes a hit,
The man who knows his work
And 'tends to it!
The world has constant use
Per men like this.
Who’s work's not fast and loose
And hit or miss,
it seeks, with heart throb.
Where he may dwell—
The man who knows his job
And does it well.

GOD IS LIVIN IN THE SKY
They's a kind o' growin’ feelin'
Gits to movin’ in your mind;
The Dispatch has recently con-
versed with several owners whose
lands are cultivated by tenants the
suojeCt of conversation being the ques
tlon rf whether or not owners should
should provide their farms with at
least one silo. All are agreed that
every farm should have a silo thereon,
but not all are agreed that it should
be purchased a;;u elected at the farm
owner’s expense.
Several have expressed the opinion
that if there wag any degree of cer-
tainty that their renters would re-
main on their farms for a period of
years they would be willing to provide
the silo, but that they could not afford
to do so on a one-year basis. Others
said that their experience with renters
had been such that they would not be
willing to contract for a longiir period
than one year.
Well, of course, like any other class
of workers, there are good men and
there are—well, others, but since
none deny the desirability of having a
silo on the fart.;—whether tilled by
owner or renter—it would seem that
the best method to pursue would be
for the land lord, whenever he found a
tenant that was worth while, to im-
prove his farm in such a manner that
the tenant would wish to remain there-
on, or at least until such tenant had
saved a sufficient amount of money
to purchase a farm home of his own.
As said before, there are good ten-
ants and then there are others, but
in the opinion of the Dispatch the best
way to have a good renter remain a
good renter is to co-operate with and
and assist him to produce not only
more dollars for himself and owner,
but to build up and maintain the fer-
tility of the soil. Then, too, the renter
for whom the land owner would not
be willing to provide a silo had better
be off your farm than on it, as such a
renter will invariably take away—in
soil fertility and run-down condition
of improvements—more than he will
leave in the way of rents.

the place to get it is next to the Farm-
ers’ gin. A fresh supply of McAlester

Editor Tom Lusk of the Italy News-
Herald was a pleasant visitor at the
Morning Dispatch office yesterday. He
Just came over to greet old friends,
but went home with a “bug" in his ear
to puli off a booster stunt Mr Italy.
He's president of the Italy Board of
Trade as well as a "cracken' good”
newspaper man.
In the early spring, I find;

“Springtime is the time o' birth."
The peanut fever in the sandy loan
sections is rising. Only a few days
until planting time. The Texas In-
dustrial Congress offers the lollowing
Prises for peanut efforts this year:
“Class E. Texas Peanut Club: Com-
petition in this class is open only to
boys and girls ten years of age or
over and under twenty on January 1,
1914 For the largest yield from one
sere of merchantable peanuts and pea-
nut hay, COST Of PRODUCTION
considered: $16000 in Prizes. First
prize, $300; second prize, $200; third
prize, $100; and $1000 to be divided
equally among all other contestants
whose yields are greater and whose
cost of production is less than the av-
erage yield and average cost of pro-
duction of all contestants entered in
this class. Where the nutB and vines
are used for feeding purposes the con-
ditions for determining the yield arc
the same as those for cowpeas in
( lass A. If the nuts and vines are har-
vested, the yield must be determined
by actual weighing them when fully
matured and thoroughly dry. Contes-
tants in this class are strongly ad-
vised to enter Classes G. and H. and
also to use this corp for feeding pur-
poses.”

An' your heart begins to open
Like the blossoms on the trees,
An’ you want the Lord to feed you
Like the blossoms feeds the bees;
Spring thaws out your better nature
Like the sun thaws out the sod,
An’ your soul hit gits to longin’
For a fellership with God.
You can see him in the springln'
O' the lovely verdant grass,
You can feel him breathe the zephyrs,
An' can nighly see him pass;
You can watch his smile o’ mornin's
When the dawn is rosy red,
An’ his glory is the night time
When the stars is over head.
They’s no need o’ any Bible.
They1* no need o’ preachin’ words,
Ca'se they’s evidence o’ bein’
In the cattle an’ the birds;
An’ without a God all bein’
Is impossible, you see;
First comes God, an’ then come
bein’—
Hit’s all plain enough to me.
But as I was jlst a-sayln,’
Springtime thaws our nature out,
Hit clears up our observation,
An’ hit makes us look about;
They’s a growin’ feelin’ in it
That goes coursin' in the blood,
With a kind o’ spirit liftin’
That shore does -a feller good.
Well, of course you will git lazy,
An’ may want to fish a while,
Or may long to jist do nothin'
But He down an dream an’ smile;
Still your heart 'ill keep a-singtn’;
"God is livin’ In the sky,
An’ in all the sighin’ zephyrs
I can hear him passin’ by!”
