that Turkey will unquestionably remain neutrat
The fact that John Bull had flatly told him that
Turkey would be wiped off the map for good and
always if he joined forces with Germany may al-

TO THE PRESS BOYS.
The people of Bonham are glad to have you
-with them today and tomorrow. They want you
to have so good a time that you will go away with
only the most pleasant recollection£*of the “Clean-
est town in Texas,” whose citizens are as hospita-
ble as even your own towns people are.
If you are not entertained in all respects as
you can wish tp be, remember that it is not the
fault of the citizens of .Bonham, but of the local
newspaper men who have prepared the program
and who know about how much you can stand
vwithout being spoiled.

Treaties between the United States and Great
Uritian, France, Spain and China were signed in
Washington Tuesday. The treaty provides that
all disputes that can be settled by diplomacy ( and
this includes practically all disputes) .shall be sub-
mitted to a permanent commission for investiga-
tion for one year. This makes an armed conflict
practically impossible. This is the plan that Sec-
retary Bryan proposed, and which has been the
cause of much ridicule by his political enerfjps.
However, twenty-two other nations besides the
four named above have thought the plan wise
enough to enter into a treaty with the United
States on this basis. The world is now, morff than
ever, convinced that any plan that will discourage
war and preserve peace is a wise plafc.

The United States Soldiers ha$e been ordered
to evacuate Vera Cruz and the last of our armed
force is expected to be withdrawn within a
month. Those who sneered at the suggestion that
the United States would withdraw its soldiers
from Mexico as soon as internal peace was
.secured now have a splendid opportunity to re-
vise their estimates of the unselfishness of this
government. Had any but an unusually wise and
firm man occupied the white House this year the
result of our occupation of Vera Cruz would have
been different-

The way the Russians juggle with big figures

Populist leaders used to talk about money.. .
Eight cent cotton has more to do with the anx-
iety of many people for the European war to come
to an end than does the slaughter of men and the
destruction of property.

Baltimore business men and bankers announce
that they will invest one million dollars in cotton
at ten cents a pound to be held indefinitely. The
buy-a-bale movement is bearing good fruit.
Don’t feel too timid to put that bale of cotton
you have bought where the people can see it'. Per-
haps it will encourage some timorous souk to go
and do likewise. ; .

GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
It is predicted by big business men
amd economists throughout the coun-
try that the general European war 5s
going to create an unprecedented
boom in American business. The
Chicago Herald says, “It remains for
American enterprise and the Ameri-
can talent for business organizations
to do the rest; to rise to this enor-
mous opportunity that is not likely to
ever knock at our doors again, and
to reap both its immediate and. abid-
ing regards.”
Are you prepared to take full ad-
vatage of this wonderful opportuni-
ty? If not, a little preparation now
may mean a life of sucecss to you.
' The opportunity is within reach. A
few weeks spent in the Paris Com-
mercial College learning bookkeeping
shorthand, typewriting, arithmetic,
English, spelling, pennmanship, com-
mercial Jaw, business practice, etc.,
things that are essential in the con-
duct of business, wil prepare you for
responsible positions that will enable
you to climb to the most eminent
heights of success.
Do not let the cry of hard times
deter you. Look around you and you
" will see very few efficient bookkeep-
ers and stenographers without em-
ployment. While you see hundreds
of laborers, salesmen, professional
men, etc., standing on the street cor-
ners crying “hard times,” you will see
the bookkeeper and stenographer bus-
ily engaged keping the records and
developing the business that means so
much to American progress. Do not
be a knocker, neither be an idler. Pre-
pare yourself for positions of respon-
sibility and your success is pertain.
Paris Commercial College graduates
are still leading the graduates from
any competing school in holding the
permanent and prominent positions.
It will pay you to make any "neces-
sary sacrifice to enter this school and
prepare yourself for success. Write

NOTICE TO TEACHERS.
Between now and the opening of
the rural schools, I desire that the
principal of every rural school in
Fannin county come to County Su-
perintendent’s office. I would be glad
to see every teacher in the county;
but more especially the principals of
all the schools in the common school
districts. Do not forget to come in
before the opening of your school.
Yours to serve,

County Supt., Fannin Co., Texas.
ONE FARMER’S VIEWS. -
Editor Bonham News:
For the past 60 days, the problem
of marketing the cotton crop has
been the most discussed topic among
the farmers and business men of any
subject, the war in Europe not ex-
cepted.
The congress of the United States
have discussed and advanced various
schemes for the solution of this vex-
ed problem. The Governor* of this
State has called the legislature to-
gether for the purpose of enacting
laws that, in his judgment, would pre-
vent a sacrifice of the present cotton
crop. Many towns and cities of the
South, and especially of Texas, are
forming clubs and associations for
the purpose of buying and holding
cotton, to aid and encourage the far-
mer, all of which I am sure the farm-
er appreciates from the depth of his
heart.
But the main support for solving
the problem, seems to be lacking: The
banks with few exceptions have refus-
ed to advance even enough money
with which to move the crop.
To pick, wrap and gin a bale of cot-
ton costs approxmately $17.50. The
Texas farmers therefore to put the
crop in shape to market must have
$60,000,000 to $70,000,000.
Is there not as much money as
there has been in former years? Is
not the demand for cotton the same
as in former years? It seems to me
that the war should increase, rather
than diminish, the use of cotton
goods, inasmuch as the soldiers must
be supplied with uniforms and army
tents, and the cavalry with blankets,
all of which would not be necessary
were it not for the war.
It does seem to me that the patri-
otic banker with the means placed at
his command by the government
should advance the farmer $35.00 or
$40.00 per bale on cotton ‘stored in
bonded warehouses under state con-
trol and supervision . By such
means the farmer would use • the
bank’s money and pay for the use of
same, and in turn would pay the mer-
chant, the doctor aBd blacksmith, all
of which would turn the money back
to the banks.
If there be a surplus of cotton, it
will only be temporary, and the far-
mer should be made to know that hf\
too, must do his part to meet the
situation by reducing the. acreage for
1915 crop at least 50 per cent to that
of. 1914, thus limiting the supply to
the takings of the American mills.' -
We farmers think we are a very
much .oppi'essed people, and we are,
but-it hasjieeft only by the isestest dip-
lomacy of the. ijhad of our govern-
pient that we ourselves are not em-
broiled in war. Let us be. optimistic
and-do our part by letting the public
know that we will adjust ourselves to
conditions. _ .
Very-truly yours.
