The 1922 cotton crop has not been
made. It will be several months be-
fore it is all out of the fields in the
southwest, but as time is calculated,
it will not be long before the forward
locking farmer will begin to make ar-
rangements for his 1923 cotton seed.
Others, no doubt, as in times past,
will wait until the last minute, and
then have to rely upon mixture->»f
gin-run seed which will not produce
test results.
Recently a cotton buyer was heard
to remark that he hoped that the com-
munity idea of planting the same kind
of cotton would rapidly spread over
the cotton belt. In answer to ques-
tions he replied that his company could
afford to pay a better price for cotton
in any community where they could
secure from 100 bales upwards of cot-
ton of approximately unifrom staple

EARLY MORNING OBSERVATIONS
(Geo. M. Bailey in Houston Post)
Some three dozen Y. M. C. A. boys
and their corps of instructors are now
camped at Gray Park north of town
on the BosqUe rives. The Y. M. G. A.
says this is the finest place in Texas
to camp and have a real outing, and
we feel sure they know. Come to
Clifton.
The tourist travel ia unusually heavy
at this time, and you will notice that
but few fail to stop in Clifton and
spend a few nickles. Every person
who has the opportunity should try
and see just how nice they can be to
the strangers who come into our
midst. Clifton people shoold take an
interest and show the traveler the
nice places near town to camp, and
other courtesies.
Twenty-two Federal dry officers
have been alain in their efforts to cap-
ture hootch. But look how they have
been avenged by the hootch which,
uncaptured, has slain thousands.
We are not saying that the United
States will never get into another
European war, but any European
group that counts upon us is a plu-
perfect of blamed fools. -
The people who wll suffer most for
coal will be the poorer workers of the
cities. The cellars of the rich are al-
ready full. That’s the way the strike
works—nails the poor innocent by-
stander eVery time.
National hair dressers have banned
bobbed hair but bobbing seems to us
to be an individual rather than group
affair ,and there aeema to be a wide-
spread sentiment in favor of keeping
the home shears clipping.
willingness to divide with the grower.
In agreeing to plant the same kind
of seed, cotton growers naturally buy
an improved product because they
have to secure it from the same source.
Consequently they will produce a bet-
ter cotton and get a better price, but
unless a considerable number plant
the same kind the full benefits will not
be secured.
Better seed is a crying* need in the
southwest, but in buying seed, grow-
ers should make certain that they are
getting exactly what they are paying
for. Unfortunately there ere ignorant
and sometimes unscrupulous persons
offering seed to growers that does not
come up to specifications. Some of it
is named after the original pure seed,
but it has not been kept true to type
and is otherwise inferior. Be sure you
buy only the best.—Farm and Ranch.
HOW A" FARMER PUTS IN TIME
farm
Tergerville Tim, a humorous
correspondent, writes:
“A farmer is an individual who
works 18 hours a day for a Irving; if
the undertaker gets him before he is
50 he don't get even that. He worka
from five in the morning until noon to
puy Ills raxes a. d i*tert»t; l.e works

C. W. Malone, age about 59 years,
shot W. A. Hensley, age 25 years, with
an automatic pistol Thursday evening
about 7 o’clock. Only one shot was
fired, the .bullet striking Hensley in
the side of the neck and lodging in
the back of the neck. It is said that
the bullet narrowly escaped breaking
his neck. Malone was arrested at his
home in Hico by Sheriff Wright, who
released Him on $500 bond to await
examining trial, which will be held
Monday.
The facts obtainable are that Hen-
sley is a tenant on Malone’s farm,
which is situated about six miles from
Iredell on what is known as the lower
Hico road. The trouble arose over a
settlement, Hensley informing Malone
that he was ready for a settlement at
that time. Malone stated that he had
not come down for such, and made a
motion towards his hip pocket. Hen-
sley told him that if he had the nerve
to shoot, whereupon Malone pulled the
gun and fired one time, striking Hen-
sley in the neck, and when he fell
Malone replaced the pistol in his pock,
et and returned to Hico.
Two men, who were working with
Hensley, assisted him to his home
nearby and summoned Dr. Pike of Ire-
dell, who dressed the wound and stated
that it appeared to be only a slight
wound, however, he. was not sure what
the outcome might be.—Meridian Tri-
bune.
THE GLEN ROSE BASE BALL
TEAM FINDS HORSE SHOES
The fast semi-pro ball team from
Glen Rose visited Clifton Friday and
Saturday, and found all the horse-
shoes and wish-bones in Clifton, and
after the game were glad to admit
they were lucky to be on the big end
of the score for the two games.
The game Friday showed that Glen
Rose earned three runs and Clifton
five. But this was not the way the
game ended as Glen Rose won by a
score of 7 to 6. Clifton got busy and
J hit Hudspeth’s offerings to ail corners
and piled up a nice lead, but in the
I fifth inning the Clifton infield needed
a cooler atmosphere, so they grabbed
their imaginary balloons and ran a
j race to the sky. It was a good race
as they sailed among the clouds until
the game was over. Clifton gathered
fourteen hits during the game, and
Glen Rose succeeded in getting only
eight, but the runs Glen Rosie received
as presents tied up in nice bundles

The farmer wakes up in the morning

“A fanner raises a big family to
help him farm. When they are young
they can’t help and when they grow
up they go to town and drive a street
car or work in a bank.
“There are two kinds of farmers,
check book farmers and grass root
and dirt farmers. The former have
perfume on their handkerchiefs and
the Utter on their overalU. One makes
his money in town and spends it in

save enough in the country to pay for
what he has already spent in town.”—

proved enough to win the game for
them.
Saturday’s game was a farce during
the first three innings, as Hughes,
pitching for Clifton, served Glen Rose
eight runs on a silver platter. In the
second inning Hughes hit the first bat-
ter, walked the next, then hit the
next two in the back of their pantry,
and walked the next two. The next
two batters hit to the pitcher, who
threw wild to first, and then threw
too, late to second when he should have
thrown to first. This ended the scor-
ing for Glen Rose, as Colwick, who re-
lieved him, did not allow Glen Rose to
cross the pUte during the remaining
innings of the game. Clifton also out-
hit Glen Rose in this game and Col-
wick looked good for a shut-out game,
but Clifton could not overcome the
eight runs handed Glen Rose in the
first three innings. The score stood
8 to 6 at the end of the seven inning
game.
Clifton still says she has the best
amateur team in the state and would
like to hook up with Glen Rose in one
more game with Colwick in the box.
Glen Rom admitted after the two
games that they lucked out in each
game and that Clifton is the strongest
team they have played this year.
