The Farmer who is without the backing and
support of a strong bank is treading upon dangerous
ground. r
The business of fanning is, at times, precarious,
and no farmer can afford to be without the protec-
tion that is afforded by a friendly connection with a
helpful bank.

ELIMINATING FOREIGNISM.
(United States District Judge Chas.
F. Amidon.)
‘‘.When wfe get through with this
war, and civil liberty i» made safe
cnce mote upon this earth, there is
going to be a day of Judgment m
these United States. Foreign born
citizens and the institutions, which
have cherished foreighness are going
to be brought tot liei judgment bar
of this republic. Thht day Qf judg-
ment looks more to me-today like
the great day of judgment than -any-
thing I have thought of for many
years. There is going to be a separ-
ation on that day of the sheep from
the goats. Every institution that, has
been engaged in this business of
making'foreignness perpetual in the
United States will have to change or
cease. That is going to cut deep,
but it is coming.”
Joe Taylor says: “The $15,000,-
000 Potter Palmer estate at Chica-
go was mulcted for $276,000 of in-
heritance taxes. Mrs. Potter Palmer
was a fine lady, but she ought to
have paid her own taxes without pas-
sing them down to her heirs. To
count upon inheriting fifteen million
and then get only fourteen million,
seven hundred and twenty-four
thousand, is a hardship on any young
man. We wouldn’t want to be treat-
ed that way.

WOULD TREAT GERMANS AS IN-
DIANS WERE TREATED.
The Germans have been likened to
the Seminole Indians, with the odd?
all in favor of the noble red men.
“The Semipole Indians were cul-
tured gentlemen and Christian phi-
losophers beside the Germans,” de-
clared Sam Myers of Montana, in the
Senate, urging fitting punishment
for the hun. •
Myers thought some such punish-
ment as General Jackson meted out
to the Seminoles, the cut-ups of their
day, would be appropriate for Ger
many.
“When they refused to surrender
unconditionally he burned their
towns and villages and camps and
pursued them into swamps and sur-
rounded and practically annihilated
them,” said Myers, tracing the In-
dian rebellion.
“The punishment administered to
the Seminoles by General Jackson
would be, in my opinion, a hundred-
fold more fitting to the German ar-
mies,” he added. ■

BOOZE MARKET UP.
(Paris News.)
A man from an adjoining county
who was spending the nigbt in town
and had succeeded in- forming the
acquaintance of a bootlegger, was av
rested in the small .hours'of yester
day morning on the charge of being
drunk/ When he faced the recorder
a few hours later he didn't attempt
to deny the accusation but pleaded
guilty and paid a fine and costs that
amounted-to $9. When he paid off
and was liberated he remarked to
the officer who had arrested him that
he was going back to the pla.ee where
he had got the whiskey and get some
more and repeat the dose.
About 3 o’clock in the afternoon
he was found on Bonham street in a
■dale of intoxication and was again
arrested on the charge of- being
drunk and paid a second fine. He
claimed that he paid $15 for the bot-
tle of whiskey that made him drunk.
The officers tried to persuade him tc
give th| name of the bootlegger
from whom he had bought the whis-
key bqt he said he would die before
he would tell.

' Was First “Over the Top.”
Miss Cleffie Coleman has received
the following letter from one of the
comrades of her brother, Clarence
Coleman, who was killed in a battle
with the Germans at 5 o’clock on the
morning of September 15th:
"I am writing you with a sad mis-
sion. but one That you can be proud
of—to have a brother that paid the
supreme price for freedom of the
world. ‘Clarence was killed‘by a
large shell on September 15th, -the

over at 5 o’clock. I hope I will Have
the opportunity to see some of you
ail and tell you just how brave he
was, as I can’t by mail. I can say
this: He didn’t have to be in a-o
dangerous a place as he was, but he
told the boys, “I am with you.” He
was always the first man to face
shell fire to help a wounded com-
rade. He was loved by every man in
the company, and we join j you in
your grief, also in the pride of hav-
ing such a brave brother. I don’t

OFFICIAL OUTFIT FOR 1018,
FISCAL YEAR, REACHED 44r>,-
000,000 PIECES.
The annouticement from Washing-
ton that 445,000,000 1-cent pieces
were coined by the government in
the fiscal year 1918 lends interest to
a compilation by the National City
Batik of New York regarding the
'country’s growing demand for these
little coins, of which the ?918 out-
put was jthe largest on record. The
hank's statement shows that the
number of 1-cent coihs manufactur-
ed by the mints of the Ignited States
trom 1793 to the end of the fiscal
year 1-918 was 3,463,000,000, while
the number issued in the last, <ux
years *is, in round numbers, 1,000,-
000,000. The number-of 1-cent piec-
es coined never touched the 100,-
000,000 line in any year previous to
1907; the annual average from that
time to 1916 was nearly 100,000,000
a year: in 1917} 213,500,000, and in
1918 445,228,201 pieces. The num-
ber of 1-cent pieces coined from the
beginning of the government to date
would, even if all were in existence
and circulation, allow for each indi-
vidual about thirty-three. Coinage
of 1-cent pieces began with the flr3t
operation of the mints,* the total
number coined in the first period for
which details are available (1793-
95) having been 1,066,033. In that
same period there were coined 142,-
524 haif-cent pieces. The number
of 1-cent pieces coined averaged less
than 10,000,000 per annum down to
about 1855; when there came a rap-
id increase, the nuntber coined in
1857 being about 18,000,000,in 1860
more than 20,000,000, in 1864 53,-
000,000. Following the clo^fe of the
civil war tm>. aumkef again declined
greatly, being ii£ 1870 less than 6,-
000,000, in 1880^39,000,000, in 1890
47.000. 000, in 1»00 67,000,000, in
1906 90,000,000, crossing the 100,-
000,000 line in 1907, and making
the highest record in 1910, 152,046,-
218; -while the total for the fiscal
year 1916 was 101,230,311; 1017,
213.501.000, and in 1918 445,428,
000. All 1-cent pieces now issued
by the government are of bronze.

Ideas of Peace.
(Dallas News.)
P.. W; Reeves, who resided at
Clarksville before enlisting, and who
is now at Base Hospital No. 69, in
France/ has written a letter to J. J.
Taylor, State Press of the Dallas
News, in which he attempts to give
the opinion of the soldiers as to
peace with Germany.
That the most rigid guarantees of
allied military supremacy should be
given before an armistice is agreed
to is the opinion of most of the sol-
diers, according to Private Reeves.
It is pointed out that Toul and Ver-
dun would have been required by
the Germans if the French had eve*i
sued for an armistice, and the tak
ing of equally strategic German for-
tresses by the allies is ont of the
proposals advocated strongly by the
boys in the trenches. . i .
However, Private Reeves say's tha^
it is the general belief that hostili
ties will have ceased by Christmas.
