Get Boom Parka Now.
There la not a town or village In
Texas that baa enough attractive

before the land fete too high. The
price of land now ia lower than It

At first one would think there ia
little news iu the fleet tbot a town
like LttMefieM baa organised h Ro-
tary dub. Really it ia a big Mem
for that town, for St means that
some 80 or 40 men in the town have
caught a new and better vision of
service, and with a vision of that
kind organised into a working body
aranething has to happen. Oritlce
of suck organisations as Rotary,
Klwanls, IAona and Akruaa have to
adarlt that they put better life aod
better working spirit into their
membership and that their Influ-
ence permeates beyung the members
and throughout the entire commun-
ity. Therefore Littlefield and other
towns organising tbeir buninesa con-
tingencies Into civic duhn are do-
log things that wNI count for the
good of the whole people.
lobbying at Austin.
After viewing the work of lobby'
tsta at Austin for many years I am
of the oplnlou that their real influ-
sure upon legislation In practically
nothing and that moat of them are
merely partakes feeding upon the
fears of corporations and individ-
uals tlfat Imagine they are likely
to suffer at the hands of tho legis-
lature. Very few timmumi Indeed
owe tbeir peonage or defeat to die
influence of tbe lobby. Very little
out right purchasing of legislative
votes is ever done. The lepiala-
tor who would sell Ms Influence
hen tittle or none to sell, lloyond
being “worked" for a .few dinners
nnd even at times for n rather pre-
toot tou* banquet, ail paid tor at
tlie eipanm of hie cl lent a, the lob-
byist in given ttttto earnest atten-
tion alt Austin, Uaunlly he la a
hireling with nothing muth to do,
and oftener than not he doe* even
a than be to paid for doing. The
loneliest looking people around Aus-
tin are the professional Mfbytsta
during a legislative anmtoa, and
many <tf them look like they even
hold themselves in contempt aa pro-
fessional parasite*.

What Texas Need* an farms.
Addressing a farmers' banquet
given by die Chamber of Commerce
at Weatherford, R. (J. Lee, former
president of the Went Texas Cham-
ber of -Commerce, gave figures to
■bow that throughout the Mouth
there la now a shortage of grain,
forage crops, potatoes, vegetaldes

well ba I* noed living, while too
much cotton la being grown. Fann-
ers need to team that die flrwt

tention may bo given to die pro-
