Cotton Seed Is Expensive, Don’t Waste It!
Heretofore when cottoi) seed was plentiful and cheap, not
much attention was paid to the quantity planted. But now,
when cotton seed is bringing high prices, it pays to use
care in planting. You can save considerable money this
season by using a planter that will, if you wish, plant a
single seed at a time. John Deere Combined Corn and Cotton
Planters will do this.
CHICKENS ARE
ALL RIGHT
IN THEIR PLACE
Remember to Investigate
The John Deere Saw-Tooth Type Steel Cotton Seed Picker
Wheel, the construction that makes John Deere Planters
drop a single seed at a time regardless of quantity sown per
acre, and it does not damage seed—the result is the biggest
crops without wasting any seed.
Look This Planter Over Before You Buy

Walnut Springs, Bosque County,
Texas, Feb. 23.—Plans have already
been started by the Katy Railway of-

destroyed by fire here Sunday. The
company has recently agreed on en-
larging the shops and the fire loss, it
is said, will not interfere in any way
with these plans.
New machinery has been ordered
and the debris is being cleared to make
for a larger building.

In placing my anouncement before
the voters of this precinct for County
Commissioner, I wish to state that I
have had several years experience in
all kinds of road construction, helping
to build the roads in this precinct
when the road bonds were voted a few
years ago. Before this I «pent sev-
eral years in actual construction work
in grading railroads and believe as to
that end of the commissioner’s work,
1 am amply fitted to fill the duties of
same. As to my qualifications to look
after the interests of my people, I
shall let those who know me be the
judge. If elected, which I feel con-
fident of, I shall use my every energy
to see that each section gets exactly
what is due them and will play no fav-
orites as l have always had little use
for the fellow who had to be governed
by one who claimed to possess a pull.
Look up my friends and ask them as
to my qualifications.
Respectfully,
ltp. Silas M. Baskin.
At a congregational meeting held
last Sunday, a call was issued to Mr.
C. E. Newton of Houston, Texas; the
call was accepted and the new pastor
will move to Clifton in about a month.
This young man is a power in the
religious world and the members of
the First Presbyterian Church of Clif-
ton feel honored to have him as their
pastor. He is well known to many of
the Clifton people. Mrs. Newton is
also a prominent church worker.
This paper in behalf of its readers
bids them welcome to Clifton.
The big spring egg deal is on us.
We want to handle more eggs this
Spring than we ever did, also all other
kinds of produce. With the help you
gave us last year we were able to do
the largest business we have ever
done. We bought over two hundred
thousand dollars worth of your pro-
duce last year.
This would be a big business for a
much larger place than our little city.
By your striving to sell us the best
grade of stuff we have built up a
trade on your produce second to none.
When we offer our stuff for sale, the
people in the larger markets know
•what they are to get. This is because
you have kept your stuff up to the
standard.
: We sold a car of Clifton eggs last
Ljuly and we never lost an egg, all were
[good. This car brought nearly seven
[thousand dollars. Later in the year
|we sold a enr of your eggs that
wrought nearly nine thousand dollars.
IThe latter deal was in the New York
produce papers, so you see what your
fcfforts are amounting to.
i We will start, shipping cars of eggs
ftext week and we want your eggs to
§o along. Your eggs in New York
Eel just as big as any eggs.
I It might interest you tor know that
Bou had some of the best turkeys on
Bie market, in New York last fall,
j&nt Texas could put there. We bought
^Ee hundred thousund pounds of tur-
JKys' from you last fall. We made
Hpney out of the stuff. How could
Ki handle this amount of good quality
Kff and not make money? You
we paid the same prices as the
Kger places did. Why ? Because we
Are fixed to handle the produce, and
;lu furnished us the stuff. If you had
lliit this stuff, taking part to some
jSttier market and leaving us only
