So far we have had no report of
the sorghum midge and the differ
ent plantings are turning out well
or with good prospects. But keep
an eye out for him.
With a fairly good corn crop,
lots of forage and cotton promis-
ing above an average Jsck county
has no cause for worry.
What about a corn show this
fall? The people want to know.
It ought to be announced right
away. What about it?
Don’t kill your competitor. In
doing so you will cripple yourself.
Help him, wprk together for
mutual benefit, and both live
and prosper.
Several farmers have complained
that the bud worm or boll worm
is destroying their kafir corn. We
can suggest no remedy for them
as poison would render the grain
and forage unfit for use.
A hard pull, a 'strong pull and a
pull altogether and Jacksboro will
leap forward with a bound'. She
should have the entire trade of
Jack county with large slices from
other counties and
Jack county frill have an entire
new commissioners court includ-
ing the judge, but ail of these ex-
cept one have agreed to insist that
each road section that has been
graded by the county be dragged
by the road hands after each rain.
If this policy is strictly followed
up, it will be but a short time
until we will have fine main
roads, cross roads and by roads all
over the county. A graded road
that is kept dragged by the road
hands will be kept graded and the
county teams can go on building
new roads. And this will require
but little work by the road hands.

NO TROUBLE AT ALL.
There’s a once popular little
song that had for the burden of its
theme; “Every little bit added
to what you’ve got makes a little
bit more,” or words to that effect.
Suppose we all try to make practi-
cal use of the better significance
of the phrase. Suppose we add a
little more knowledge, a little
more real character, a little more
neighborliness, a little more of the
genuine “milk of human kind-

she can get it

If Jacksboro has any trade faults
she wants to rectify them. Let
na know the faults so they may
bo correteed. All Jack county citi-
zen* want to trade at home for
their mutual benefit. Tell Jacks-
boro merchants why you don’t
trade with them.
~ The editor has never failed to
contribute his full share in work,
or money for anything that comes
up for civic betterment, even
when in our judgment the plan is
not a good one, but where the
majority of the people think the
Idea a good one. We may not be
’right in this policy but we know
that if all would do that we could
hvae much better conditions.
The article in this issue, To
Increase Jacksboro’s Trade is
rather long but*we believe it will
be interesting to all both town
people and country people. A
good market, a good place to both
buy and sell is one of the most
important things to the farmers
and anything that would help to
improve market conditions will
help the farming classes. We
ought to read the article closely
and if possible write something
on this line.
Some one has calculated the
money our government spends for
war and the amount for agricuL
tore and finds that this country
spends 72 per cent of the annual
income of the government for
mlitaryism and but 2 per cent for
agriculture, the base of this na-
tion’s wealth. If these calcula-
tions be correct, it were time we
aB a people cease making war our
goal and warriors our heroes. One
dollar for the nation’s food, cloth-
ing and shelter to every $36 for
means of destroying human life is
not a good proportion, especially
in time of peace.—-Farm and
It is frequently the case that
the uneducated will deride and
even condemn the higher educa-
tion. There is an obnoxous strain
to individuals who are highly edu-
cated a kind of indefinable fueling
when in contact with them that
may give this antagonism a foot-
hold among the common people,
but it must be remembered that to
the highly educated there is a
roughness or crudeness in the un-
educated that is as repugnant to
them as they are to the unedu-
cated. But We must not derid«
higher education for it has done
mbch for the world. A man on
the street a few days ago was say-
ing some hard things about the
highly educated. He was lighting
his pipe with a match that was
discovered by means of high edu-
cation. Without the high educa-
tion this man would have had to
hunt a fire. He was using in-
numerable things in his business,
all the result of higher education.
A preacher in hia talk condemned
and spoke harshly concerning high-
er education yet he was holding in
his hand and reading from the
Bible which had been translated
•%» ...
by very highly educated men, and
without it he could not have un-
derstood a line from the original
Hebrew of Greek. Higher educa-
tion has taught us many common
every day things, the canning of
fruit for instance, the manu-
facture and preservation and pre-
paration of many foods, many of
the common every day tools and
implements are all the result of
higher education. The uneducat-
ed have taken the principles that
have been worked out by higher
education and put to use, put
them togeter in new forms for new
uses, but the principle was first
worked out by the highly educated
mind. The deriding of higher
education has done worlds of
harm. ..It has prevented many
men from edu?ating their children
well enough for the common neces-
sities of life. i

ties as shipping freight, hasn’t it ?”
“Yes, but then cotton is naturally

will never forget his terrible ex-
posure to a merciless storm. “It
gave me a dreadful cold,” he
writes, ' that caused severe pains
in my chest, so it was hard for
mg to breathe. A neighbor gave
me several doses of Dr. King’s
New Discovery which brought
’great relief. The doctor said I
