Graham is preparing to builds a
$150,000 cotton mill and have the
committees at work. The people
had a big meeting there not long
ago and the meeting was an enthu-
siastic one of both farmers and
•
merchants.

Now is a good time to get your
grape cuttings and set them out. If
.you have no grapes at home, go to
your neighbor and get a number
if he has not yet trimmed his
grapes. Set them in a row about
a foot apart where they can be cul
tivated and if it could be situ
ated where you could water
them two or three times this
summer if there should be a dry
spell you would save'a great many
You can stick a good many along
division fences and a few of them
tpill live and will be a great com
fort in later years.

Stating the advantages
^incrviiauts, farmers and people in
any line of business going to, see
other places and seeing how busi
ness is conducted in these places,
see what other people are doing
and hovy they do it. To prove our
contention it is only necessary to
pont to one instance. The public
school building movement here at
this time is the result of the visit
of several of Jacksboro citizens to
Graham and seeing the magnificent
school buildings there. It made
these men ashamed and they came
back home and began talking up
the matter of building a new and
modern edifice. The first thing the
editor does when he gets to a town
is to mhke a bee line to the print-
ing office and we exchange ideas
with each other and get a mutual
benefit, but there are merchants in
evey town who never were in the
stores of men in the , same line of
business.

The whole country is figuring oh
the high cost of living and there
are as many theories as there are
people, nearly. The News has a
theory too and we have never seen
it presented. It is this: Formerly
there was a big reserve fund in
- - vthetreasury at Washington, now it
is empty ,all the money in the
country is in circulation. The pass-
ing of the law to allow banks to
issue money on their credit in case
of panic has caused the disburse-
ment of reserves all over the coun-
try,' Finally there has been more
gold mined than ever before. This
all means that there js a great deal
of money in circulation or in shape
to be circulated and this state of
V, affairs makes things high. High
An article from Dolly V. in this
issue has much food for thought,
and while she is correct in her
statement about the retailer, the
inference drawn is not correct here
or in the larger cities. It is prob-
ably true that the retailer sells at a
very big percent advance over the
wholesaler’s price, still we can not
condemn him when we know the
facts which are:,that the retailer*is
hot waxing, fat with his profits.
On the contrary the small retail
concerns are not much above the
ialeried men for income and there
are a few that ever grow rich in
the retail business while thousands
fail and loose theiV money. It fre-
quently happens that a farmer
thinks there is a great profit in
selling goods, sells his farm and
moves to town. He gets along well
for a time and apparently is amass-
ing a fortune but hard times corned
and he loses everything or nearly
everything. During the 30 years
of the editor’s knowledge of Jacks-
boro we know of no man or firm
that has made any considerable
amount yet we could probably
count a hundred who had gone into
business here and quit with less
capital than when they started in.
This does not mean * that Jacl^pbro
is especially a bad place for mer-
cantile business for the same could
be said of any of our adjoining
towns. At the same time we could
name-scores of farmers who started
in here 10 or 15 years ago with
nothing or very little that are now
worth ten, twenty and may be a
much as a hundred thousand dollars.
Of all the big rich men} of the
country, the millionaires end the
near millionaires Wanamaker is
the only man’we kncjjv of .who has
made his money by detailing.
A merheant frequently loses m^ney
on an article 4hat he sold for
twice whfat he paid for it. Not
long ago the editor was jn a store
and there was a lady there being
waited on by one of the’dlerjfs. She
staid there an hour looking at
goods and haggling*over prices
and finally made a small purchase.
The editor asked the merchant
what profit did he make on that
sale. He Replied “The money paid
the clerk for the time he was wait-
/
ing on her was mere than the price1
of t’he goods,'besides we stil| have
to collect' the money as you see the
clerk charging it.” And that wo-
man may have spent that much
time at several other stores with-
out making a purchase. This in-
stance is just one of the reasons or
causes of loss. The people are the
cause of some of the reasons and
the merchants are the cause of oth-
ers. We think that if there was*
a better undertanding between the
merchants and betweerT~the merch-
ants and customers, this difference
would greatly lessen.
m
prices prevail in every case except
. where incomes are fixed, such as
salaries, interest, etc. The high
price docs not only apply to food-
stuffs but to everything, even
papers for we can not change the

Drily V. Replies to Dallu News.
Kingsland Kodak: A farmer
took a load of turkeys to a country
town and sold them for $90. He
says they raised themselves and had
no attention after they wer^ two
weeks old. They picked up such
grain as fell on the ground, embel-
ished the days rations on bugs and
worms that otherwise would have
preyed on the crops. So much for
poultry arising on the well con-
ducted farm.
And doubtless hecharged the poor
town folks twelve cents a' pound,
or fifteen, eighteen or twenty, for
his turkeys on the hoof, and then
felt good over his easily gotten
gains. With the present prices for
foodstuffs it is no trouble at all for
farmers to get rich, and for town
people to eat their heads off. City
dwellers with fixed salaries or in-
comes never were in such a tight
place as they are in now! The pres-
sure is fierce.—Dalas News.
Doy V. does not object to the
foregoing but as to the cost of rais-
ing Mr. Farmer is away off, and
then the comment is misleading.
First the hens had to be yarded and
fed, spine during nesting and brood-
ing aftd the care of the chicks fOr
two wpeks a first fed four times a
day. Feed cost and it takes time.
I’ll wager my reputation as a
guesser that tired feet and hands
often cared for* those same hens
and chick. Oh well, it was the
wife. She may have spent days and
tramped weary miles caring for
them. Her time did not count,, no
how, never has been. That $90
would look as though a cyclone had
given it a twist if the care and feed
had been deducted. One great trou
ble, to many farmers don’t count
their own time nor that Wife or
children. Yes, made that ourselves
and did’t cost a cent. Say, Mister
start your thinking machine run-
ning , use your brains, that't what
God expected of you or he Would
not have put Wains in yoqr head.
Npw, as the price the consumer
had to pay. Now, if Mr. Farmer
peddled from bouse to house it took'
a day With team. Do you believe
he did. No, he drove right to the
fellow that is farming the farmer
and Mr. Farmer took just what ife
was offered and the man and family
that had roast turkey for Christrqas
dinner paid the town farmer his
price, It has not been many moons
since the agricultural department
of our govenpment investigated as
to cause of advance of prices to he
consumer. Fifty cities and towns
stated (that the retailers of meat
drew from the consumer from 23
lowest to 46 highest. More than
they paid the wholesale man, ex-
honorating the’ farmer, showing
that wholesalers and the consumers
are beween nether millstone, tak-
ing toll sure enough.
There is no question but that
the turkey * pays. He is ,& great
scavenger,,covers a wide range in
feeding where the ears hang down,
he works*the blossom end, some-
times gets the whole tear, to ofset
he huts for the festive worm and
bug in the cotton field-
What do you. call it, kicking.?.!
well,-I’m not, I guss the town
farmer is here to stay. Dolly V.
