There will be no boom in Clif-
ton this year, but there will be
more doing in the way of build-
ing and other improvements in
the resident portions of the city
than has ever been done before
in one year.
Tiie Record is pleased to note
that trees art' being planted on
every street in the city. This
is one of the most substantial
and profitable improvements that
ran he made.
Clifton’s merchants continue
to enjoy a very large part of the
trade of Bosque County, which
fact is sufficient proof that Clif-

what you sell and the most for

Wichita Falls. Tex Feb. 20.-r!
The electric light and water plant j
of the Wichita Falls Water and I
Light Company has been taken j
over by Messrs Kemp A Kell,
owners of the franchise to build

of Clifton
to conduct our1
school in an economical, business
like manner by meeting cifrrent
expenses with incidental fees
collected from-our patrons, we
reached the conclusion that the
plan is about the worst that
could be devised. ' And we real
iae as we never realized before
the need of a local maintenance
school tax.
It is a fact that we capnot, un-
der the law, use one cent of the
State or County school fund for
incidental purposes. Neverthe.
less, incidental expenses must be
met. Money must be spent for
the health and comfort of our
school children. Such expense
items as fuel, crayon, erasers,
janitor service, etc., increase
with the growth of our school.
The demands upon those who
are chosen by the people to look
after these affairs, become more
imperative each year. But the
revenue to meet these increas-
ing demands is no greater than
it was 20 years ago.
Fellow Citizens, consider this
important question seriously.
Some of you will have to serve
on the school board next year.
We are morally certain that
none of you wish to become re-
sponsible for the care and com-
fort of 250 children seven hours
a day and five days in the week,
without any means of footing the
bills, other than such sums as
you collect from those who are
often unable and sometimes un-
willing to pay,
We have a good school house,
though not a showy one. We
have children in whom we are
all interested. Let all help to
agitate the school question;
and when the right time comes
let’s all do our patriotic duty and
vote for it.
As citizens and as school offi-
cers, we feel that a local school
tax is the paramount issue in
Clifton today.

Dear Sirs:—The Two Row Hill

does perfect work and I expect
to plant all my rows 800 yards
long.
It puts the grains of corn just
where they belong (in a hill) aud
of course, will do the same in
cotton planting. A
It’s the planter for a BoJqUe
county farmer.
Yours truly,
Will Manske.
Check your cotton. It solves
the Johnson Grass and Boll
j Weevil problems. Checking cot-
ton in hills saves 50 per cent, of
the sebd. saves 05 per cent, of
chopping. It, gives you 25 to 100
per cent increase in yield with
5o per cent. lojs expense.

ing children in habits of idleness,
for the idle habit is the greatest
obstacle obstructing the road to
education today. As a rule, the
pupil who likes his work likes
his school and teachers; the idler
falls out with his work and at-
tributes his dissatisfaction to
some fault in his instructor. Of
all teachers, ho is most unpopu-
lar who requires efficient work
in reasonable quantities.
Eighteen trees were set out at
