A FARMER WHO DIDN’T BE-
LIEVE THERE’S MONEY
IN POULTRY
i 1
if:
(
to
There is one plain, frank farmer
in Smith county who says that his
wife took a notion a few years ago
that she could make a lot of money
by raising poultry and eggs for the
market; that he didn’t believe she
could do anything of the kind, and told
her so. "However,” this honest far-
mer continued, "you can’t do anything
with a woman when she gets her head
set on trying out a thing. She just
kept on at me till I had to decide be-
tween spending my nights out in the
bam or fixing her up a henhouse,
some coops and nests. I quit my work
and lost two Saturdays from town in
order to get the henhouse, the coops
and the nests to my wife’s notion.
I thought that would settle the mat-
ter; but, lo and behold, the first fall
hadn’t come before she made me
give up two acres of the best cotton
land I had right behind the bam to
sow oats on it for a chicken pasture.
I was half mad; I knew she would
fail. And besides that, her ambition
to try out an idea that we farmers
don’t believe in had pestered me a
whole lot and cost me fourteen dollars
and two days hard work.
“But ‘long about time frost fell
Bhe began to send six to eight dozen
eggs to town twice a week—and got
50 cents per dozen for them. Along
about December she sold 43 old hens
at an ‘ungodly’ price (It was a shame
to take the money from the poor
town folk who had to buy them). At
the same time eggs got so high that
I was afraid she’d get more for her
year’s poultry and egg crop than I
had gotten for my year’s cotton crop.
In fact, whenever I carried the eggs
to town, I felt like knocking down
some of the cash receipts to keep her
from beating me and then saying, ‘I
told you so.’
“She’s been working at her job for
the past four years, and during the
last three I haven’t had to buy the
kids any clothing, Or school supplies—
and she has had the kitchen and hall
ceiled, wall paper hung in every room,
new furniture placed in the girls’
room and a kitchen cabinet and a lot
of other new fangled things put into
the kitchen. It hasn’t cost me a thing,
except the fourteen dollars, two days
work and giving up two acres of my
best cotton land for a chicken pasture.
“Besides that, my wife has now got
over $200.00 of poultry money in a
Tyler bank, and says she’s going to
have enough in the bank from poultry
and egg sales this winter to paint the
house, buy some more nice shrubs
bery, and get either a piano or a good
radio set by time eggs get cheap next
spring. I would come right out and
say that I am convinced that Ihe poul-
try business is a paying proposition,
but, jiarn it all, I just hate to ad-
mit that any woman has got more
money-making sense than I have.”:
WOE AWAITS IN THE' OFFING
Woe is awaiting the young man or
boy. who undertakes to formulate a
plan or devise a scheme by which he
-nay iivt without • honest labor.
The though impelling such an ef-
fort—to try to live without earning
one’s way—is the principal cause of
the present prevalence of crime.
There are too many who have the’
idea, or at least they so express
themselves, that the world “owes
them a living.”
The truth of the matter is that the
world owes nobody a living.
On the other hand, every man owes
the world everything he can give it.
He owes it his very best efforts—his
best thought, his best skill, his most
earnest and constant endeavor. If
he has exceptional capacities and nat-
ural qualifications they but empha-
size and enlarge his responsibility.
One who is endowed with genius owes
much more to the world than he who
i work only with his hands, but
they both owe it their most faithful
and constant service. A masterful
mind, extraordinary talent, aptitude
for a particular work, or trade, or
art, simply adds to the duty and re-
sponsibility of its possessor.
There is no warrant in the law of
man, the law of nature, or the law of
God justifying idleness on the part
of any one.
Neither is there warrant for the
employment of one’s abilities in any
but a good work. By good work is
meant useful work, work that con-
fers benefits upon humanity.
God never gave man genius, tal-
ent, capacity, qualification—ability of
any kind—that he should devote to
one single deed of a useless, barren
or sinful nature. Neither does He
give him opportunities that he can ne-
glect without incurring the sin of
omission. The same is true of the
instrumentalities in the nature of
money, or institutions, or business
concerns, that may be placed at his
disposal. He is responsible for what
he could have accomplished had he
taken advantage of his opportunities.
He is responsible for the achieve-
ments made possible by the instru-
mentalities which it is his privilege
to use for the benefit of mankind and
the glory of God.
The life of the idler is one long-
drawn-out sin of omission.
Its enormity may not be so great
as that of the sin of commission by
him who devotes his time, opportuni-
ties, talents and instrumentalities to
the doing of ill deeds, but it is sin
just the same.—Dallas News.
FARM OPPORTUNITI
The fallacious idea that opportuni-
ty is less common now than in the
past has robbed some people of their
hopes and prevented their best de-
velopment. The truth is that oppor-
tunity is as plentiful now as ever but
it wears a different complexion, and
it takes mental activity and judg-
ment to recognize it.
The following is from the Nation-
al Farmer-Stockman, quoted from the
report of a farmers’ meeting in
Ohio, and should renew the faith of
those who have been accepting the
The Dallas Morning News issued
■A special “Anniversary Edition” on
October 1, in commemoration of the
40th anniversary of its establish-
ment. It was a piece of journalistic
literature that brought joy and a re-
call of former years to thousands of
the readers of The News; and it
should find a permanent place in the
library of every Texan. So many
congratulatory messages have cor
to the publishers that they must feel
indeed that there is a higher reward
for all their years of constructive ef-
fort than the preeminent business suc-
cess which has come to them. There
is no question but that the Dallas
News and other Belo publcations hold
the place of highest preferment in
the hearts of more people in the
Southwest than any other publica-
tion. Newspaper editors in Texas
and the adjoining states have always
regarded the Dallas News as the fi-
nal authority and pattern, both in me-
chanical excellence and editorial fair-
ness and sincerity. The Journal Edi-
tor has never found a greater source
of helpfulness and editorial inspira-
tion during the twenty-odd years he
has been in the newspaper business.
So in gratitude he offers his con-
gratulations to The News.
COLUMBUS DAY
Monday, Oct. 12, was Columbus
Day. In some sections it is regard-
ed as a legal holiday. We understand
that one business house in the city
closed for the day and hung out this
sign: “Closed on account of Columbus’
birthday.”
How many school children among
our readers know who Columbus was,
what he did, and when he did it, that
a day should be set aside in honor of
his memory? There is some very in-
teresting—and very essential—history
connected^ with this matter. Suppose
you look it up.
The average person puts 25 per
cent of his energy and ability into his
work. The world takes off its hat to
those who put more than fifty per
.cent of their capacity, and stands on
its head for those few and far be-
tween who devote 100 per cent.—An-
drew Carnegie.

false doctrine
ties:
A rather remarkable assertion was
made by one of the farmers present
but all others agreed with him. He
said, “I would rather go into farm-
ing now than twenty-five years ago.
I would have a better chance to suc-
ceed now than I had then.” Those
young men who think that all the
agricultural opportunties are in the
past might reflect on this verdict of
the veterans who have been through
the “mill”.
It is quite true that free land no
longer exists; that to capitalize a
farm under modem conditions
as much as to organize a bank; that
the cash rewards of farming are not
yet on a par with commercial arid in-
dustrial pursuits. But for sheer
satisfaction in living, for intimately
sound prosperity, for the greatest
possible measure of independence in
an interdependent world, and for the
building of the best heritage for
prosperity, the farm still stands
above every other human activity,—
Texas Farm and Ranch. :

CARBON KNOCK or motor deton-
ation aside from being annoying
greatly reduces power efficiency-
combustion taking place before the
complete rise of the piston. The mechanical
method of correcting such knocks is to retard
the spark which again reduces power efficiency.
Many gasoline mixtures have been devised
which in a way might eliminate the knock but
oftimes the remedy is worse than the ailment
In NO-NOX Motor Fuel we have the remedy
without a single harmful feature—it positively
takes the carbon knock out of the motor, and
any motorist knows that this means easier and
quicker acceleration, smoother running motor
and More Power, less gear shifts and generally
a more satisfactory operation of the car at a
lower repair cost «

ORANGE
NO-NOX is Non - Noxio us, Non-Poisonoua
and no more harmful to man or motor than
ordinary gasoline. We ask you to try it dher
that be your own judge.
