In fact there is so little of it
The mosquito crop has certainly
been plentiful in North Texas this
summer. Too plentiful to be com-
fortable. These pests seem to take
a delight by infesting this office with
their music and their bites. We had
rather they would go to some other
part. They can visit Pa Ferguson at
Austin for all we care. But it will
require more than a mosquito bite to
force his wife to resign immediately.
An editor of a certain newspaper
says: “Don’t never try to stop a fight
between husband and wife. If you do
you will certainly get the worst end
of the deal.” We once knew of a
certain party trying to stop such a
fight and both the man and wife
ceased hostilities and pounced upon
the peacemaker and liked to have
beaten him to death. This is a warn-
ing to some good conscious person
to lay off in such cases. Let the
man and wife scrap it out.
The editor of the Itasca Item, a
splendid weekly publication in Hill
county, was so completely knocked
out in the recent gubernatorial elec-
tion that it was some two weeks be-
fore he was able to recover himself
and see how it really happened. This
editor was supporting the candidacy
of Lynch Davidson, and was so thoro-
ughly convinced that he would be in
the run-off that nothing would cause
him to see otherwise. If the Item
editor had asked our advice on the
matter we would have readily given
it to him gratis as we make no extra
charge for such information. In a
way we feel sorry for the dear broth-
er and hope that he has now suffi-
ently recovered from the shock to
support the nominee this fall as all
good democrats should. The News
man is optimistic over the election.
He believes that Dan Moody is going
to give the state a splendid admini-
stration. The people of Texas think
so as expiessed by the big vote he
received. If he fails then the voters
will give him the same dose that was
handed out to the Fergusons. But
why worry over the outcome? The
best is hoped for.

The News at Roxton lost two sub-
scribers on account of the stand Edi-
tor Williams took in the recent elec-
tion in supporting Dan Moody. We
notice that the News has not sus-
pended publication but is continuing
right along dishing out the news to
its readers. Some folks who become
peeved at the editor and who rush
into his sanctum sanctorium and or-
der the paper stopped really think
that the paper will have to close
down the next week on account of
their name being dropped from the
mailing list. This experience act.tal-
ly happened to this editor who at
one time was conducting a newspaper
not over a thousand miles from La-
donia, when two or three fellows be-,
came peeved at something that ap-
peared in the newspaper columns,
had the paper stopped, and were ex-
pecting the sheriff to come around
the following week and close us out.
Wouldn’t that jar you? Some folks
have peculiar ideas we must say.
Next Friday will be “Friday the
Thirteenth.” We call attention1 to
the fact so no one will sow turnips
on that day. We simply must have
greens next fall and winter.—Honey
Grove Signal.
And by the way, it is this editor’s
birthday. We shall not tell you how
old we are, other than we are twice
as old as we were eighteen years
ago. We do not consider the thir-
teenth an unlucky day at all. Fact
is we call it lucky on our part. The
worst drawback is that alt the public
executions seem to be on this day.
If we can escape that terrible ordeal
we ought to have something to feel
thankful for. If there is another
person in this section whose birthday
appears on August 13th, dismiss all
fear, because you are a lucky person.
Ladonia merchants are getting
their stocks of merchandise ready

there is some despondency over the
short cotton crop prospects but this
should be dismissed at once, as this
section is going to make some cotton

yield. Folks always become discour-
aged in the early part of August over
the situation, but when the fleecy
staple is gathered there has always
been a pretty fair yield. The News
Fish and Milk Together
The idea that it is harmful to eat
fish and milk together is entirely er-
roneous. Fish and milk arc frequent-
ly cooked together and eaten in the
form of chowders or’ milk gravies.

potatoes is a favorite disk and is of-
ten given to children. Certainty if

If the Ladonia section escapes an
epidemic of typhoid fever this sea-
son it will be very fortunate. There
are millions of mosquitoes and their
bites are said to spread the germ.
When weeds and gress are allowed
to grow and water stand about the
premises in old cisterns and storm
cellars, the typhoid germ is sure to
spread. Commence now to cut the
weeds and cleanup all old rubbish
that harbors these insects. Also
little kerosene poured in the cistern
will drive out the mosquito. A little
precaution now may means the ward-
ing off aicktiexs later on. From now
of the year for typhoid ftver.
Don C. Seitz, who has been pub-
lishing articles in the New York Out-
look, treated of “The Country Press
in the January 27 issue of that period-
ical. Having stated that there are
some 2000 dailies that “can be call-
ed country,” he takes up the latter
first and proceeds to discuss the larg-
est newspapers in such cities as New
Haven, Providence, Detroit, St. Louis
New Orleans, and theleading dailies
of the South and West in general,
pointing out that to a far greater
extent than “their city brethren”
they have improved in appearance
and wealth, many of them being “ver-
itable gold mines.” Obviously it is
only in New York that these papers
“can be called country,” but in his
metropolitan atmosphere Mr. Seitz
manages to be altogether serious as
he does so.
When he takes up the weeklies,
however, he proves that he does
know something, if only from hear-
say, about the real country press.
He says, for example, that a good
newspaper means a good town, “if
the people only knew it,” and fur-
ther: “The small towns, as a rule, [
do not respect the local papers
they should. The little locals are snif-j
fed at with contempt. Slang names
are employed in designating the use-
ful publications. I do not know why
this is so, except that small towns
contain more condensed cussedness
than big ones. The newspaper is loy-
al to the community and everybody
in it, but nobody feels any sense of
loyalty to the newspaper. Most of
them receive but $l.f»0 from subscrih-
ers—less than three cents a copy for
convenience. .
