And not many people "have
built up a towji by going else-
where to do thoir buying.
We can expert our city rela-
tivoB to show deeper interest
in us about tile time the country
fruits get ripe.
So far few people have built j
up a business by keeping still i
about it -while tibeir competitors
were advertising.
A strange occurrence came in
the weather records Tuesday.
One year ago Temple and its ter-
ritory suffered a severe heat
wave for tme week ending on
August 24. Then there was a
shtrwer and a cool wave for two
days. Tuesday August 24 a
stiff norther blew up and finally
Bent the thermometer down to
65 Tuesday night. Those sleep-
ing with only sheets nearly froze
before morning. Temple Tele-
gram. Valentino is receiving more
nowspuper space than Dr. Eliot.
Financial returns from their
work also offfci v. basis of com-
parison in popular approval. In
18 years sales of Dr. Eliot's five-
foot' shelf of books have totaled
?20827188. Presumably much
mere than .that was paid at box
offices by. "Valentino fans. In
ten years he t'arned $2;500000
representing salary and part of
the profits of producers. Some
125000000 people viewed one
picture ' aloiie. Dr. Eliot lived
to be 92 Valentino 31.
Out of nineteen contestants
C. G. Wutrich living one-half
mile ean of the Waterloo store
and five miles northeast of Tay-
lor made 100 per cent in the
Williamson county farm contest.
On his 200-acre farm Mr. Wu-
jtrich; has 120 acres in cotton
and according to Judges T. E.
Cftabb O. W. Sherril and A.
Sauer he was graded perfect in
terracing improvements around
house barn and fences; condi-
tion of corn or grain sorghums

A dispatch from Ft. Worth
states that the Southern Union
Life Insurance Company of that
city will construct a- home office

ioa on the southwest corner of
Seventh and Houston streets.!
Purchase of a 99-year lease on
the site which is 100100 feet
consideration $130000 was con-
sumated recently. The South-
ern Union Life Insurance Com-
pany moved it headquarters to
Fort Worth from Waco .three
years ago present offices being
located in the F. & M. building

FARMERS MEET POST-
PONED TO AUGUST 28
On account of the rain Sat-
urday the cortfpronco of farm
on
thoir needs tor cotton
''
;ns be"n postponed un-
il .Saturday (tomorrow) Aug
ust 28th.
Stveral fanners wore pres-
ent Saturday August. 21st and
they heartily approved the call-
ing of the conference and ad-
vised! that they would put forth
all their efforts to scurr a large
attendance on the 28th.
Many prominent farmers voi
ce the opinion that the farmers
should get togelhtr and agree
nn a uniform manner of hand
ling the cotton picker situation.
They are of the opinion 'that
much annoyance and inconven-
venience can be saved by a .clear
undeitanding of each other's
situation and the manner in
which pickere are obtained
It will be to th& interest of
every cotton raiser in William-
son county and nearby points ;to
attend thifi meeting as other
matters bearing on the interest
of the farmers will be discussed.
Taylor "is extremely fortu
nate in having the co-operation
of the United State Depart-
ment of Labor and they have
gone so far as to place a repre-
sentative in Taylor to assist in
this situation. T. E. Crabb
special agent of the deaprtment
has been in Taylor for the past
week and has been very ener-
getic in attempting to get at the
needs of the situation as near
as possible.
No charges will be made for
the services of the U. S. De-
partment of Labor or the
Chamber of CJorainerce. It is
the desire of each of these to be
of service and help to the farm-
ers. Delay in making arrange-
ments might cause a shortage
of pickers and great inconven-
ience to the farmers in getting
their crop gathered.
County Agent H. T. McCol-
lum concurs in the above and
urges the Attendance of all Wil-
liamson county fanners.
The esteemed Houston Post-
Di&patch gets up in the meet-
ing to say that "the next legis-
lature (would perform a valuable
public service if it gave the
state a simple and workable
election law." That passes our
comprehension. The Texas
election law is perfect in every
detail. There is a direct pri
mary law that is decidedly out
ol plumb but it can't be called
an election law for two reasons
to-wit: It ih confined to cer-
tain partisans and it is with-
out constitutional warrant. The
surprising thing to us is that
some court doesn't kill it out-
right. Waco Times-Herald.

next crop to devour leaf stalk
