From the government cotton
ginning report of total number
of bales ginned by counties in
Texas up to Nov. 14, we note
that Milam county is credited
with 59,045 as against 72.839
bales up to same date in 1912.
Rockdale this week pulled off
one of the finest poultry shows
ever held in Central Texas. It
was the first attempt of the
Milam County Poultry Associa-
tion, and from all viewpoints
was a big success, regardless of
the downpour of rain and the
sea of mud.

vades the very air in Regal

At a meeting of the City Coun-

ducting compress air fihd gas for

sult is, thousands upon thousands of

These climatic changes are Inevitable.
No one can prevent them. The very

Good health is the best preventive.

excess vitality, this is Nature’s own
preventive and protection.
.We do not all have this, however.
Some of us must have assistance.
The assistance that I use for myself,

BOYS AND THE FARM.
The editor heard ahoy in Win-
ona say, one day last week, that’fit, iney wear,
he would not work as hard for!dale,
anybody for nothing as he did
for his father. We gather from
what the hoy said he was the son
of a farmer, and as soon as he
made the remark it occurred to
us that right here was the solu-
tion to the question that is being
asked daily why the farmer boy
is quitting the farm to go to the

This year Milam is also famous
as the home of the champion
Boys Corn Club of Texas. The
big solid silver Trophy Cup from
the Dallas Fair attests that fact.
And all this in the face of the
worst crop year the county has
sfeen in twenty years. Truly,
Milam is matchless.
The Reporter welcomes Sen-
ator-Editor H. B. Terrell to the
fraternal fold in Matchless
Milam. Mr. Terrell last week
acquired the Cameron Herald,
succeeding R. W, H. Kennon
who retires from newspaper
work for the present We are
not informed as to the plans for
the Herald under the new man-
agement, but Mr. Terrell is a
capable newspaper man and will
no doubt bring the Herald up to
the plane of equality with his
other papers-the West News
gfcntly to the tasks before them.
Often they are urged to the lim-
it of their endurance, but there

average is as fair to the country1
boys as to the town boys who
work. Indeed, it is fairer to the
country boys if the opefi air in
which they work is compared to
the close and stuffy places in
which so many town workers
earn their board and clothes.
We think it is not the work that
drives the country boys to town;
it is the unfair division of the
proceeds. Every farmer boy
should have a share of the pro-
fits. State Press heard a farmer
Bay a few days ago that he gave
his two sons, both minors, a cer-
tain small field of growing cot-
ton for their own this year.
They had just finished selling
their crop, and the two youths
split $500 in cash between them.
That was their profit on the
year’s work, for they had their
share free of their “livings,”
which the father supplied in ex-
change for their assistance in
the general work of the farm.

says: “I had a very heavy cold
which settled into a ehronig. cough

The effect of taking your cod liver
and iron remedy, Vinol, is tijiat my
cough is gone. I can now get a good
night’s rest and 1 feel much stronger
In every way. I am 74 years old.”
It is the combined action: of the
medicinal elements of the cods* liv-
ers aided by the blood-making and
strength-creating properties of tonic
Iron which makes Vinol so efficient
for chronic coughs, colds and^bron-
chitls—at tber.same time building up
the weakened, run-down system.

Did you ever stop to think
that goods of known quality are
in nearly every instance trade-
marked or branded and bear the
maker’s name, and that the pnce
is the same everywhere? Think
of some of the best articles of
any lines and you will agree that
they invariably bear the maker’s
name, brand or trademark.
There is a reason for this. When
a manufacturer puts his name on
hit goods that name is sponsor
to the consumer for the quality.
If you market an article bearing
your name it is safe to say that
you will at all times protect that
name with quality. When trade-
marked, branded
goods 0 are
brought to trial the burden of
proof rests on the producer.
And do not send away or go
away from home for articles you
may want until you have first as-
certained whether your local
merchant can supply it at the
same price quoted elsewhere.
Don’t send money away which
your community produces unless
you are sure that it is to your
advantage to do so. If the ar-
ticle wanted bears an establish-
ed brand look for it in the local
market Get acquainted with
the stock carried by your local
merchant; he as a rule keeps
abreast of the times just the
same as you do.
