We note that oue of our lo-
eal merchants h?s “fly swat-
ters” for solo. This should re-
mind the people that they have
no excuse for not joining the
“swatting” hunch wheu a
swatter will only cost them a
few penuies. Get busy and
help in the crusade.
An old Confederate soldier
who lives in Oklahoma is re-
ported to have found his old
sweetheart at the Chattanooga
Reunion after haviug lost trace
of her for the past forty years.
Of course cupid got very busy
and the old “Cap” bought two
tickets when he returned home,
It is often said that cupid
never rests, but we'U bet he
got tired of this job before he
finished it.
fore us again iu many years.
What is doue in this matter-
must be done now. If you are
iu favor of the issue as it stands,
be sure to tell your neighbors
so and try to get them to see it
as you do. If you are against
it you have the same right to
say as the other fellow has to
work for it. By all means don’t
get a straddle of the fence.
Take your stand on one side or
the other and help this precinct
to have the best roads of any
place iu this part of the State,
or take the opposite side and
kill it forever.
It is just a little bit interest-
ing to note the announcements
in regard to the graduation
classes that have came from
the different public schools

tion. June has been pointed
out by the weather charts as
the wet month of the year, and
it certainly seems that the
prophecy is going to come
true.
.while the girls are gradually
climbing to eminence? It
would be well for our boys,
especially those who love to
loaf around town, to take this
into consideration and strive
to make a better record next
year. _
We note that a number of
our exchanges are being work-
Such was not the e(j g00(j and proper by a certain
‘" baking powder firm in the
United States. This baking
powder company sends out
lot of dope in plate form which
is supposed to be cooking reci-
pes, but they always mauageto
get the name of a certain bak-
ing powder mixed np with the
recipe and advise that no other
be used. It’s an old way of
cheating the newspaper man
out of. his advertising space.
Just why these publishers will
do it is beyond us. It Dot ODly
hurts them, but it hurts other
papers that hold out for decent
advertising rates and do busi
ness on legitimate competition
basis. These people would do
real advertising and pay the
cash for it if they were turuec
down by all publications for
this “free dope” stuff. By ad-
vertising is the only way they
can keep in business, and just
as long as they can work some
of the newspapers with such
junk as they are running now
they will never spend one cent
for adyertising space.
is where the corporation will
fail to accomplish what is set
out to do, if it fails at all.
There is no doubt but what this
institution is working on the
right plans, but they must
have the co-operation of the
farmers before they can put
these plaus into execution.
The cotton market can be han-
dled just as easily as the rice
market, or the fruit market of
the West. It is the same plans
as that adopted by the fruit
growers of California, Florida
and other states. These people
have found the plan to be a
good one, aud there is abso-
lutely no reason why it will not
prove to be as beneficial to the
cotton grower. If the farmer
can get 11 cents for his cotton
the day he puts it on the mar-
cet, with the assurance of 4
cents more within a few more
mouths, there is no reason why
le can not farm on such
methods. As a usual thing 11
cents will pay all expenses of
raisiug the crop aud a little be-
sides. If the crop is marketed
under the old system the farm-
er ouly gets just what the lo-
cal market will pay, aud nine
chances to one it will be below
the 11 cent point. Of course
we all realize that every plau
leretofore offered for a safe
marketing system of cotton has
been a failure; but that is no
reason why this plan will fail.
eople always profit by their
experiences. All the different
farmers’ institutions that have
ever been organized have ouly
been stepping stones for this
proposition. It will be a suc-
cess if the farmers will only
place their cotton where this
corporation can have eontro
of it.
We are glad to say that for
the past few weeks the county
jail has been almost devoid of
prisoners
case during the winter months
when we had great crowds of
railroad laborers here all the
time. At the present time we
have but little need for a coun-
ty jail, and we trust that this
record will continue through-
out the year.
A number of stockmen of
this and adjoining counties
have been in Paducah since
the rains and report grass doing
nicely. The outlook before the
rains for the grazing lauds was
very unfavorable and some of
the ranchmen were figuring
on moving their cattle to other
places, but now the tide has
turned and everything bids
fair for the range throughout
this section to be as good, if
not better, than any part of
Texas.
So far very little has been
said about a celebration on the
Glorious Fourth of July for
Paducah. The time has come
when we must settle this ques-
tion. It has been the custom
to have something of this kind
in Cottle County every year,
and, so far aa we are concerned,
we would hardly be in favor of
not having it this time. Cottle
County has but very few at-
tractions each year when we do
our best, and to deprive us of
the Glorious Fourth is getting
over the line entirely to far.
It is time that every voter in
this precinct was making up
his mind as to bow he is going
to vote on the road bond issue
on June 28tb. This issue has
been discussed quite a deal and
so far we have heard but lit-
tle opposition to it. This elec-
tion most mean better roads
for our preei&et* or it will mean
that the issue will not come be
In another part of this paper
appears an invitation from the
President of the Southern
States’ Cotton Corporation to
the people to attend the meet
ing which will be held in Dal
las next month. Quite a deal
of enthusiasm has been arousec
in this county, through the ef
forts of local parties, iu regarc
to this corporation. A number
of substantial farmers have al
ready pledged a certain amount
of cotton, while there are others
who are hesitating and waiting
to see what the outcome wi
be. Those who have not sign-
ed the contract seem to be
afraidjo risk the proposition
until it has been tried out
year or two, and on that point
We note that the city officials
of Childress are making their
prisoners “do time” on the
streets instead of allowing them
to board with the county or at
the expense of the city. This
is the way all towns and cities
should deal with those who
break the laws and are not will
ing to fork over the cash,
has been the experience of the
city and county officials of this
ilace that many prisoners are
perfectly content and willing to
do their time in jail. By this
method they get free board, a
good place to sleep and live
comfort and ease. There are
so many people who do not
care for a jail sentence that
this way of dealing with pris-
oners is considered a joke
among that class of men.
the city officials will adopt the
same plan as the Childress
Council has done it will only
be a short time until boys am
men will learn to keep out
meanness or either fork over
the cash when they are fined.
The State of Illinois almost
has equal suffrage, a bill
that effect having passed the
Legislature only a few days
ago. The only thing that wi 1
keep it from becoming a law is
the probability of the Gover
nor’s veto, which people are in
doubt about at this time.
Equal suffrage is spreading
very rapidly throughout the
United States, and we are go-
ing to predict that the day is
not far distant when every
state in the Union will allow
female citizens to evercise the
right of suffrage. Equal suf-
frage is quite a “pill” for some
people to swallow, but, whether
it be best or not, the medicine
is going to be taken just the
same. Recent political moves
have made it possible and poli-
tics will never be satisfied un-
til their privilege is granted.

Burleson in the hope of obtaining
personal interview, figures |
that his chances to be made post-
master at St. Louis are good. He I

interview will be granted and
will depart in a few davs for |
Washington.
A week ago Payne received I
word from friends in Washing-

mastership fight there was a
good opening for a dark horse.
He sent the following wire to |
Burleson:
“St. Louis, Mo., June 13.—Al l

eral, Washington, D. C.—Honor-
able Brother Burleson: Please
wire me when I may see you. I
wish to be the next postmaster

The Fly Decalogue
The health department of Ash-
ville, N. C., has issued what it
terms “The Good Citizen’s Dec-
alogue,” dealing with the fly and
sanitary problems, as follows:
1. Remember thy garbage can
to keep it covered, less thy gar-
bage become a stench in the nos-
trils of the people and breed flies.
2. Thou shall cut the weeds in
thy vacant lot, lest it become a
hiding place for old tin cans,
which catch water and breed
mosquitoes, papers and divers
sort of trash.
3. Thou shalt bear witness
against thy neighbor’s rubbish
heap, likewise his dirty back
yai’d.
4. Thou shalt clean out the
habitation of thy horse and tby
cow frequently, lest the table fly
flourisheth and spread infantile
paralysis, and the housefly breed
by the thousands and millions
and annoy thee and thy beast and
produce much sickness in thy
family.
5. Thou shalt prevent the
breeding of the fly in the spring
time, that thy children unto the
third and fourth generation need
not swat him later.
6. Remember thy back yard
and alley, to keep them clean.
Six days shalt thou labor to keep
thy premises clean and if yet
the task is not accomplished, thou
couldst no worse than continue
on the seventh.
7. Thou shalt covet all the air
and sunshine thou canst obtain.
8. Look not upon the milk when
it cometh from the unclean dairy
for the doctor will not hold the
guiltless if thy infant sickeneth
therefrom and die.
9. Remember thy cleaning-up
day and keep it wholly.
10. If thou dost harken unto
these saying, to do them, thou
shalt live long in the land.—Ex.

The greatest need of the Texas
farmer is cheap money and bet-
ter marketing methods. The
city man should stand behind the
farmer instead of standing in]
front of him.
Farm products are increased
in value by gettfng them where
needed at the proper time. Good
roads increase values.
