Cotton Very Poor
The cotton crop in West Lamar
County and parts of Fannin,
Grayson and Collin is very poor,
according to a letter received
from The Times editor, who
drove to Dallas on the Ocean to
Ocean highway the first of the
week. In some places in West
I^amar, the crop was very young,
and in others there was a good
plant but nothing on it. Hot
winds are finishing the corn
crops and gardens, anil in Dallas
County corn is as dry as a pow-
der house. Hoad conditions are
tine, and it will not he but a
short time until practically every
mile of such a trip can be made
without getting off macadam
roads.
IS STILL ALIVE WITH
CHANCES AGAINST HIM
Dick McDonald the young man
from F’attonville, who was caught
under a Paris and Mount F’leas
ant train while asleep <*n the
track last week and had his hack-
broken in two places, is still alive,
although it was thought at the
time of the accident that the
chances were ten to one against
his recovery.
Me was operated on at the sun
Barium Monday for the purpose
of removing some of the pieces
of backbone that were pressing
on the chord and produced para
lysis After the operation he
was able to move his legs little,
but the doctors stated th the
chances are still very slir for
his recovery on account ol «■
long time that he will liavt >

CfclMM Minister Waited, but taarad

• Tima Cam*.
___ ♦
i In a London club, when tha Chi-
nese minister happened to be pres-
ent, a rather tactless speaker re-
ferred to the position of women in
China and how they were debarred
from so many of the privileges of i
men. He meant no ill, but what he
said was indiscreet and led to a
moment’s embarrassing silence, after
which.the conversation was resumed
on other subjects.
The minister did not speak fox a
while, but presently, during a pause,
he turned to the man who had made
the critical remark:
“This is a very beautiful elub you
have here, sir.”
“Yes, I believe it is the finest.”
“Much finer than your ordinary
private houses?”
“Certainly. Xone of our private
houses is as large and beautiful as
this,” was the response.
“I suppose you have your women
here—your mothers and sisters and
wives and daughters. Of course, you
must have them here to enjov your
beautiful house with you.”
“Why, no. It is against the rules.
They ure not alloviVd here at all.”
“Why not?” said the minister.
And the clubman saw the point

negro with the white wife, and

When you hear of some great
man’s collapse, you can usually put
it down to staleness. He has kept
at the desk until nature refused to
refresh him.- In a fit of despair he
lias done the rash thing.
Staleness is responsible for many
a heartache. Mental control has
lost its dutch and skidded into ir-
responsible animal instincts. Men
have aecn the drift and felt unable
to swerve from it. They have lost
heart and quit. Others fall into
abnndon suffering moral collupsc
they are ill-fitted to endure.
If you’re on the job you will see
to it that you don’t grow stale. Ix*t
the first suggestion of slowing up
drive you into the open. Bathroom
calisthenics mny serve a temporary
purjtosc, but they can never do what
nature docs for you.
There’s more in life than making
a living. Paid grocers and bakers
should be the minimum. To live
you must meet obligations of the:
inner man as well as the bread-and-
butter instincts. You must know
nature enough to blink at the stars, !
recognize her moods, tell her woods
and living tilings, if you are to en- |
joy the vitality and freshness that j
really lives.—Grit.

STOVE OF NOVEL DESIGN.
A decided departure from the or-
dinary line of stove design is repre-
sented by a new heater. It is mod-
eled on the lines of a phonograph
cabinet and is painted in similar
colors. An internal drum of cast
iron, inclosed within an outer cas-
ing of light metal, holds the fire.
Ait is admitted to pipes from the
outside, through louver openings in
the casing aides. These pipes cross
the open fire where the air is heated
and consequently floated outward in-
to the air. Hard or aoft coal may
be need in the stovt.—Popular Me*

CAREFUL MAILING URGED.
Postal authorities of the larger
cities are working together in the
matter of speeding up mail delivery
and preventing, as far as possible,
letters from going astray for the
want of proper addresses. This is
said to be in line with the recently
announced policy of the new post-
master general.
Many cities are using canceling
stamps with this admonition: “Ad-

WORLD WAITS FOR DEFINITION
Just What Does, or Ought To, Consti-
tute Man Entitled to Be Called
Well-Educated?
VVe are still endeavoring to clear
from all ambiguity the definition of
“a well-educated man.” The diver-
sity is fine. The Edison inns contend
that education is a collection of old
books. The public, exercising a judi-
cial prerogative, concludes that both
farts and books have produced the
conditions under which we now live,
and that both must be in the boat
we arc paddling on the well-known
tide of fortune.
Gamaliel himself couldn’t raise a
Shakespeajrc in a machine shop. Old
Jonathan Edwards, reading Solomon
to a little Edison, would end by
banging the Proverbs upon a listless
head. Not every philosoplfcr is a
“gentleman ami a scholar.” But
the mould of every trained intellect
must la1 fashioned by exigencies,
colored with lore, shaped by the in-
visible hands of the dead, and sus-
ceptible to the external influences
of the throbbing street.—lycslie’g

EXCEEDINGLY GREAT
-*4..
Is the opportunity of man today. It is true we have had a misfor-
tune, or set back, but experience is what makes a man. There
will be in the next twenty-five years as much improvement in
our country as there has been in the past twenty-five, and unless
you stop and think and think seriously, you can not see the im-
provements, hut we have gradually improved, and will continue
to improve as long as we are God fearing people.
Our store has improved, but naturally not like we would have it,
possibly because of some effort that we have not put forth. Our
aim is a furniture business as good as the best, knowing that a
business is built on Quality Furniture, at the right price, backed
by fair dealing and appreciation.
Furniture is down again, effective August 1st, making a decline
from high prices of 35 to 40 per cent, placing furniture back to
pre-war prices. Pay us a visit.
