Jacksboro with waterworks and
two new railroads almost ready to
build soufids good to the booster
and the man who loves to see
things happen._
The indications are now that we
will have a wet spring, but an old
timer seldom predicts tile weather
in Texas. Still he must, guess at it
and risk his judgement or guess.
Jacksboro with abundance of
water and the very best for boiler
(Purposes, with coal right at our
'door, with abundance of cheap
building material makes an ideal
place for factories and mills of all
kinds. Patronize the few we have,
that will make others come.
Many of the boys have manured
their ladns for corn this year,
have the land well prepared and
are ready for planting time. After
this rain it would be a good plan
to harrow the land thoroughy and
get all clods pulverized and then
Just before planting harrow again.
■ ^President Taft is insisting on
congress passing the bill of reci-
procity tariff treaty with Canada.
Reciprocity tariff, the News
considers good democraic doctrine
and every true democrat in con-
gress should help tfle president and
those republicans who wish to pass
Xhislaw.
The slow rains during the last
^reek have been worth much to Jack
county. It puts the Aground in
good season, it makes the grass
grow for the cattle, and absolute-
ly secures the small grain crops un-
lit blooming time. No stock wat-
yet as all the rain that has fallen'
lias gone into the ground.
“No man liveth onto himself” is
exemplified very strongly just at
Ibis time. Big orders for crushed
g one are being held up at Dallas,
Whiting for a big. rain ao that there
will be water with which to use
the stone, so we here are interest-
ed in whether Dallas a gets a big
rain. Not only are the crushing
people interested but the business
men and citizens and even the far-
mers.
Any action taken by the 32nd.
legislature on fish and game laws
should begin by wholly abolishing
the “open season” for quail. The
present law is for “sportsmen”
alone. It contemplates so much
protection as shall insure'abundant
shooting—a season of warfare a-
gainst these jolly insect destroyers
that practically cleans them out.
There should be a trial made of
real protection of this little friend
of the farmer.—Henrietta Review.
We hear things and hear them a-
gain until we get to take them for
rganted. We have always heard
people talk about the whale swal-
lowing Jonah, until it is taken for
granted by all. Rev. Young, in
his sermon Sunday had Jonah for
his text and he showed that the Bi-
ble did not say that the Whale
swallowed Jonah, we only infer
that it did. It does not even say
that it was a whale but a fish.
Again we infered that it was a
whale and have heard it so often
that we naturally believe it was a
whale.
All remember the old yarn about
the Arkansas man who would not
fix his roof when the weather was
good because it did not need fixing
then and would not fix it when the
weather was bad because he could
not do it then. It is that way
with almost all of us. We do not
fix the roads when the weather is
all right, then when the roads get
muddy and boggy we can not. The
last two years have been dry and
the roads have been in fine condit-
ion, there has been no need of
working them, yet thev could have
been prepared for rainy times.
There should be a drag for every
road section and arrangements
made for the road to be dragged
after each rain._
The News prints this week the
copy of a bill that has been present-
ed to both branches of the Texas
legislature. Several southern
states have adopted this law or
something similar and great bene-
fits are being derived from them.
The demonstration work in this
county has been greatly handicap-
ped by the fact that the commis-
sioner’s court could not appropri-
ate Anything because there was no
law for it. Mississippi, which is
astonishing the country agricul-
turally lately also has a county
demonstration agent that cooper-
ates with the natiohat department.
This state has a few state men that
with the national agents and it
gives a double chance for the infor-
mation to get to the people. As
the law makes it optional with the
commisisoners court, and would be
where the people could do as they
please about it the law should pass.
In the early day of the republic
the cry was “We must educate or
we perish” The result of this
great cry all over the country was
the establishment of the greatest
free school systems in the world, j
and the biggest item of taxes now
in the different states of the Uni-
ted States is that for the mainten-
ance of public free schools. The
great cry now should be “own a
home.” It should be preached from
every pulpit, it should be shouted
by evrey public speaker and every
newspaper should continually ham-
mer at the idea. Every citizen
should keep this in mind that every
citizen should own a home, for the
salvation of our Amercian institu-
tions depend upon this. We must
own our homes. We are becoming
a nation of renter. This will soon-
er or later drift to serfdom, big
armies, aristocratic government
and our freedom will be gone.
Many renters say “I can’t.” and
give various reasons why they can
not buy a home, but the foreigner
who comes to our shores soon ac-
quires a home, and our own people
can do the same. The editor of the
News by personal talk and argu-
ments with renters has been able
to induce several to buy homes,
most of them are paying them out.
Some became afraid and gave up.
Every citizen should do what he
could to persuade and induce every
renter to buy a home. We in the
l South,especially need men to buy
nomes.

The News has in press the second
edition of the Kandy Kitchen com-
piled and written by Mrs. Tom M.
Marks, the first edition having

ple in several States of the United
States and were advertised only in
the News and by peole sending
them to friends.
Very few books devoted ta candy
recipes have ever been published
and most of them are very expen-
sive, besides containing many reci-
pes that are worthless, or requiring
special machinery to make.
