It is true that we are also con-

-o that it is hard for honest and
compentent men to ser.e with-
out U-ggaring themselves. It is
true that we do not often volun-
teer our services in public affairs
We ought to raise a higher
tandard of public service. We
o ight to show ourselves ready

condign punishment falls on

fidence and misuse the public
money.
And we should not stop with
p itting an end to actual graft,
to theft of the people’s money.
We -houJd make it understood
that waste and incompetence
on the p^rt. of p>ublic officers are
uorthy of, and subject to, se-
vere punishment.

Do Not Plant All Your Land
To Cotton
THERE IS Every indication that cotton will be a #ood
price next year and the present season will go a
long way towards maturing a good crop in 1924.
Plant as much of it as you can, but do not
MAKE THE Mistake of planting all your land to cotton
and be forced to buy feed to carry your livestock
through next winter.
FARMERS WHO Diversify each year by planting what
feed they will need and the balance of their land
to cotton, get along with the least expense.
REMEMBER THAT It gets cold in the winter and the
li\e>tock must be taken care of. Make your plans
and work to to them.
