TWO GAZETTES A WEEK ,
FOR NEXT FEW WEEKS.
In order to better advertise our big
subscription contest (full particulars
of which will be found on page four
ia this issue) and keep the contest-
ants in closer touch with the voting,
we have decided to issue a number of
extra editions of the Gazette during
the time of the big contest. These
extra editions will be mailed out on
Tuesdays and the the regular paper
will continue to go out on Friday as
usual. This will keep the candidates
in close touch with the contest and
will also give our readers an extra
lot of good reading matter, with Jto
extra charge to them.
Read about the big contest,- nomi-
nate your sweetheart, wife, sister,
daughter or friend, in order that she
may have opportunity to win one of
the handsome prizes.
Brush up your “specs” and be ready
for the novelty of getting another Ga-
zette next Tuesday. We never do
things by halves, and you can depend
on the “extra” edition of the Gazette
being of the same high standard of
the regular editions, only not quite
so large. /

AT THE END OF THE ROAD.
Seek not after wealth for alone ;
It has no value in that higher zone.
Money brings temporal pleasure and ease,
But at the end of the road it doth not appease.
(
No soul can buy entrance at the gates above;
The pass-port there, is Peace and Love.
The power of the dollar chnnot be denied.
But at the end of the road it is defied.
« Not a dollar or a dime can you slip through.
And yet you must “pay” the Devil his “due.”
If your money came wrong, it can only goad—
Blighting all hope—at the end of the road.

TEXAS FARM LOS8ES.
Commenting upon the difference of
5.61 cents a pound for cotton, or some
$30 a bale to the farmer and paid by
the European spinner, Mr. W. D. Lewis
President of the Farmers’ Union of
Texas makes the calculation that by
co-operative marketing the difference
could be reduced to *10 a bale for
handling and transportation, and' the
conse<luent saving on the Texas crop
of 4,000,000 bales would be *80,000-
000. That amount might bfe cut in half
and still it would be a staggering
waste which is easily perventable.
But that is only a part of the pre-
ventable waste in cotton marketing,
as we have shown repeatedly.
The question is: What is to Be done
about it? A remedy was offered to
the last Texas legislature and reject-
ed for reasons largely political, some-
what personal and pbssibly selfish in
some degree. The opportunity for re-
lief will -not be presented again until
the Texas legislature meets a year

Editor I. M. Payne of the Hunt

The prohibition
Texas quite smoothly in last Satur-
day’s elhhfnatory colinty conventions.
It bounced over “Brooks” at one
bound, and its onward flight towards
the state house was in no way im-
peded by the “short” but hitherto
supposedly ‘{muddy” and formidable
“Lane!” It was not a good day for
Mayes, and Thomas had quit, so the
“Ball” rolled toward the Prohibition
Democratic nomination for governor
which will be made at Fort Worth to-
morrow with practically no resist-
ance. All of which means to the av-
erage -student of current state politics
that Thomas H. Ball, of Houston, will
be our next Governor and that the
prohibition fight in Texas has really
Just begun.

r The question has been ask
“What will Mr. Lane do now?" That
Is a question we doubt if any man in
Texas could answer intelligently just
now. However, he has gotten a taste
of office-holding, and, besides, is suf-
fering from a quintripically-exagger-
ated case of ego, and it is safe to pre-
dict that he will not retire from pub-
lic life—on his ewn motion—and, will
be "in the race” for something. He
will surely see enough “light” to de-
sist in his hitherto steadfast determi-
i *
nation to be the next governor of
Texas, for we give even a man of his
small mental calibre credit for having
sufficient political sagacity to realize
that a good large sized “Ball” from
the city of Houston has been plunked
squarely through his self-launched
gubernatorial “boom,” leaving his
golden dream of being elected gov-
ernor In 1914, a pulseless heap of
broken ruins. Many men/ would go
in mourning, paying homage to the
ashes of their “broken idol,’* but not
so with Mr. Lane; he will recover
from this solar plexus blow in time
to polish up his prohibition armor and
get back on the firing line as a candi-
date for some other important state
office within the next thirty days.
Warranty Deeds, Mortages, Ven-
notes, promissory notes--
the race all kinds of legal blanks at the Qa-
zette office. T '.
hence. . Will the farmers and
ness men of this state then unite in a
concerted demand upon the legisla-
ture or will they be fractional and
fraternal divisions, jeolousies and
pride of authorship to dofeat any [prac-
tical accomplishments?
It is sincerely hoped that the com-
mittee authorized by tho state union
in its January special meeting will
succeed in formulating a comprehen-
sive measure that will provide the
means of correcting all abuses in cot-
ton marketing. We are sure that no
good citizen will envy the union the
credit it will deserve for originating
and promoting a measure of such tre-
mendous consequences to the Welfare
of the state.
Meanwhile we submit that the mem-
bers of the union and other fanners
collectively and individually sbould
see to it that candidates for^the legis-
lature are pledged to this reform.
They should not only commit them-
selves to the reform in general terms
but they should be Induced to study
the problem of marketing and financ-
ing agricultural products, fer after all
it is lawmakers and not private citi-
zens who writes laws, and every mem-
ber of the legislature owe3 the duty
of amending a proposed measure ha
any manner he deems wise. Hence
intelligence about marketing is as im-
portant as zeal for reform.
It is little less than a public scan-
dal, besides being almost criminal in-
justice to producers, that *10 to *20
a bale of Uie actual value of cotton is
lost in getong
it from the farm to the
mllL—Fort Worth Record.
NOAH'S ARK.
By William Fanning, Jr.
Once upon a time (h^re was a man
named Noah; he was a good man and
V
pleased the Lord, so one day there
was an angel who told Noah to build
an ark and get two of oacb kind of
animals. Noah built tho ark and got
the animal*. The rain rained forty
days and nights; the ark struck on a
mountain; Noah sent out a dove and
it did not come back, and Noah kfacw
that the land was not flooded.
The above was written by Wiliiflfaa
Fanning, Jr., aged 9 years, in exami-
nation in the high third grade of the
dSast End school, in response to the
request to write a short Bible story
of Noah’s ark.
The family that keeps on hand and
uses occasionally the celebrated Prick-
ly Ash Bitters is always a well-regu-
lated family. For sale by Askew &
Buford.
The trial of Senator Gore for at-
tempted assault on one Mrs. Minnie
Bond was a short order affair. The
jury was out just ten minutes and
brought In a verdict of acquittal. It
was a clear case of malicious “frame-
up” against an innocent man that
wouldn’t work.
KING CORN’S JUBILEE.
Will P. Lockhart. •
The corn is here with its kernels,
And the Colonels will come with the
corn,
Gay blades, all be-<jecked and be-tas-
selled,
And silks with their ladies adorn.
Though some will be husky—the Col-
onels—
Well husked every kernel will be,
And the Single-Star-Goddess of Texas
Will welcome King Corn jubilee.
From the Golden Gate, east to the
ocean,
From Brownsville to Kalamazoo,
The onrush of Colonels for Dallas
Will be quite a-mazing to view.
Our Fair Grounds will blaze out a
welcome;
They’ll move through its portals in
tiers,
The long rows of corn-laden Colonels
All boasting the length of their
ears.
\
There the corn will be praised by the
% Colonels, \
As moved by the spirit (Oh, hush!)
They’ll enthuse o’er that moonshine
delusion,
The stay of our granddaddies—
■ mush;;
ig * p
They’ll laud old lye hominy, yum,
yum,—
In * parentheses, “Bursts of ap-
I plause,”—
They’ll enlarge on the cause of the
sucker,
In order to succor the cause.
’a , , / •
They’ll explain why the early spring
' weather
Will warp the fresh corn row about,
And how the fool pig of a neighbor
Can trace every hill with his snout;
They will tell how the corn raisor
chuckles
On a mid-August day, as he hoes,
With the Zfuid in the gay thermo-
measure
_ As near to the top as it goes.
So the Colonels will shell off the ker-
nels,
And scatter the corn’s stalks about;
As thrice welcome guests of great
Texas
They will never be told to shell out.
From the Golden Gate, east, to the
ocean,
From Brownsville to Kalamazoo,
We bid every corn Colonel welcome—
And this, my dear brother, means
you.

THE TREE CROP.
(
Throughout the country the gov-
ernment is encouraging the planting
of forests by private land owners, and
the total area planted in the last few
years is enormous. In Nebraska
alone there are at present some 286,-
000 acres planted forests. The public
is being educated to appreciate the
high commercial value of these for-
ests.
j*
The forests of the country consti-
tute an enormous source of the nation-
al wealth. It is estimated that the
value of the forests for a single year
is $1,050,000,000. To realize what this
total signifies, it 1b interesting to
to point out that it is some fifteen
times the value of the annual gold
and silver output. In addition to this,
the forests are a safeguard against
floods, winds, snow-slides and moving
satads, and have a direct influence
upon the rainfall. The presence of
great masses of trees modifies the
temperature, doing away in large
measure with extremes both of heat
and cold. The presence of a forest
it has been observed, lowers the sum-
mer heat average more than 7 de-
grees, while raising the temperature
in winter some 4 degrees.—The Ok-
lahoman.

GIVE THAT PUNY CHILD
THIS GUARANTEED REMEDY.
\ few
If your child is under-weight, list-
less, ailing, liable to get sick easily, it
needs a medicine to build its weight
and strength. For this purpose there
is nothing else we know of that t we
can so strongly endorse as Rexall Ol-
ive Oil Emulsion. The remarkable
success of this splendid medicinq, is
due to the fact that it contains ingre-
dients that tone the nerves, enrich the
blood and furnish to the entire sys-
tem the strength, weight and health-
building substances it needs. And, tty
does all this without injuring the st&e
ach. In fact, Rexall Olive Oil EasaL.
sion is not only pleasant to take*
even the most sensitive stomach
benefitted by it, and the digestion
proved. On the other hand, it opal-
tains no alcohol or habit-forming drugs
which most parents object to giviigf
their children. It does its good - work:
by taking hold of the weakness and
builds the body up to it* natural
strength, at the same time making R
strong to resist disease. y §>
If Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion doesn't
build your child up, feed the stunted '
puny muscles, and make the little one
lively, stronga, well, and full of the
animal spirits children are meant by
nature to have, come back and tell us
and get your money back. We don’t
want you to lose a cent We think ^
this is no more than fair, and it leaves
you no cause to hesitate. For old peo-
ple also—for convalescente—for all
who are nervous, tired-out, run-down,
no matter what the cause - we offer
Rexall Olive Oil Emulsion with the
same guarantee of entire satisfaction
or money back. Sold only at the 7,000
Rexall Stores, rand in this town only
by us. *1.00.-—Askew
