WHY FEAR?
H
—when "delicious and re-
freshing" mean the most.
The Coca-Cola Company
ATLANTA, CA.
To fear is to fail. There is no
likelihood of success in any field of
endeavor for one who is a slave of
that great wrecker of human happi-
ness—fear.
It is pitiful to think how many of
us are slaves of this harsh master.
From the cradle to the grave, we fear
things and people.
When we get along toward the end
of life’s journey, we commence to
fear to die. In fact, this is one con-
stant bogy’ we always have to fall
back upon if there is any scarcity of
other fears.
Emerson says: “Always do what son.
you are afraid to do." He is quite j
right.
Every time we do something we
are afraid to do, we are stronger for
the next battle.
After all, what have any of us to
fear ?
The power of good is certainly
stronger than the power of evil.
If we could only remember that our
welfare is dear to the heart of our
creator, we would fear nothing.
No man can achieve either happi-
ness or success while he is a sla/e of
fear.
In the morning, consider the many
things you are afraid to do. Then
do them. You will be surprised at
the number of them.
Don’t be afraid to do anything ‘hat
is right, anything that does not bring
unhappiness to others.
If you want to succeed, you must
not be afraid to try.
Above all, don’t be afraid of failure.
The person of real courage does
not fear defeat.—Robert W. Babson.
Cotton seed are now selling at Rose-
bud, in Falls county, for $30.00 per
ton, and it is most certain that the
price will go still higher.
Within the last ten days farm meet-
ings have been held in various coun-
ties, and strong protest made against
the great reduction in the price of
seed, and the unreasonable advance in
the price of ginning.
The oil mill people have attempted
to answer these charges in the news-
papers. They say the decline in the:
price of cotton seed was brought about .
by the low price of cotton seed prod- ■
ucts. The facts do not bear out this ;
contention.
The South Texas Cotton Oil Com-
pany of Victoria, Texas, on August
14th, this year, gave a merchant at
Rosebud, Texas, the following prices
on cotton seed products of this crop:
Prime cotton seed hulls, loose, at '
$10.00 per ton, delivered at Rosebud, j
Prime cotton seed hulls in bags of;
100 pounds, $16.50 per ton, delivered
at Rosebud.
Prime cotton seed meal, in car lots, I
delivered at Rosebud, $61.00 per ton;
immediate shipment.
This shows conclusively that it is
not the low price of cotton seed pro-
ducts that caused the low price offered
for cotton seed, but that it is for the
purpose of making more profits and
dividends.
The oil mills, as a rule, sell cotton
seed oil later on in the season, usually
in the spring, and after they buy up
the bulk of the seed they will advance
the price of the small remnant of un-
sold seed, and will then base the
price of cotton seed oil, and other
cotton seed products on the price they
pay for this small remnant of seed
brought in the latter part of the sea-

Brunswick Principles etc
In Fine Tire Making
The reason you are interested in the name on your tire is
that it identifies the maker. By knowing the maker you can
judge his ideals of manufacture.
The only secret of a super-tire lies in the principles of the
maker. His standards decide the quality. For there are no
secrets in the tire industry.
.What you get depends on what is behind the name on your
tire. Brunswick, as you know, means a very old concern,
jealous of its good name. Since 1845 the House of Brunswick
has been famous the world over for the quality of its products.
The Brunswick Tire is all that you expect —- and more.
Your first one will be a revelation. You’ll agree that you’ve
never known a better. And you’ll tell your friends. So spreads
the news among motorists. The Brunswick is the most wel-
come tire that ever came to market.
Try one Brunswick Tire. Learn how good a tire can bo
built. And remember, it costs no more than like-type tires.
