Because the climate is perfect.
Because landi abundantly cheap.
Because the soil is fertile and
prolific.
Because home can be made with
little labor.
Because so great a variety of pro-
duets can be grown.
Because the yield is large and the
price always remunerative.
Because the country is advancing
and property values are increasing.
Because the vast and varied re-
sources of the country are yet to be
developed.
Because unlike other sections, it
does not require a small fortune to
secure piece of land.
Because there is health in every
breeze, and strength and vigor I'M
der its cloudless skies.
Because there are chances for a
poor man which he can never hope
to find in older countries.
Because a man can make a liveli-
hood here with less labor than in
any part of the United States.
Because capital does not block all
the avenues to wealth, nor crowd
the poor man to the wall.
Because the wealth of its farming
valleys, its grazing lands and its
forests will yet build up a great and
prosperous country.
Because the worker receives fair
compensation for labor, and the rus
tier has field for the display of his
energy and enterprise,
Because vegetation is so rapid that
in two years the home is surrounded
by a growth of trees and shrubs
which would require FIVE years
growth elsewhere.

He Would Not Get Mad.

The following from the Dallas
News strikes the nail squarely on the
head and drives it home at one
blow:
A delinquent subscriber should not
get his back up when notified that it
is high time for him to step up to the
captains Office, pay his dues and re-
new his subscription or ask that his
name be stricken from the books.
He has used the goods and should
pay the bill without grumbling, He
does not flare up when the butcher,

maker sends in monthly statements!

AN AMERICAN BOY.
MARGARTET HOLMES BATES.

You say you aborn here that settles the matter
Not quite; perhaps much as the marching and noise,
The burning of powder the din and elatter
On Fourth of July makes soldiers of boys.
You see, the American standardwas set
Quit high at the first and it's rising still higher;
No American boy is allowed to forget
That he cannot be great through the fame of his sire
The men who are great on our hstorys page
That speaks of our first hundred years,
Whose fame is increasing age after age
Rolls backward, to drown in the gulf Of the years
They batted each evil that into sight
For the good of their fellows, forgefu of self
This is what is expected. You may have been born
In the slums Of a city, or far in the West
'Mongst the shimmering plumes of the rpening
Or first saw the ightwhere kings golden CREST
Overshadowed the land; where the poor turned their eyes
From their novels, far out over mountain and wave,
To the sunset Republic, where libertys skies
Smiled down the homes of the free and the brave.
Being born American can't be denied,
Gives fair start on the highway ofame,
Or Of wealth, or whatever else he may decide
To deserve, to achieve and attach to his name.
But whoever would win must be ready to work.
He must and secure before he may enjoys
In all the wide field there's sheaf for the shirks
1t means this tobe American boy.
You may not be seleeed for perous trips
Over mountains and glaciers, or sail in the
OF the fleet for enrappng enemy's ships
Then take to waves catamaran.
But you must be ready, and stand by your guns
Wherever you find them as firm as the earth,
If you would be proved one Of Uncle Sans
BY lawful adoption or fortunate birth.
Then hold your head high your eyes the
And stripes of our banner, your hand firm and sure;
You will win, though you carry enemy's scars
Like Galahad strong because you pure.
Stand fast for the right. Look we'll to your ways;
Build your life of pure gold, with grain of alloy;
Do your best if you'd win yourself loftiest praise,
And deserve to be called an American boy.

The Life Of Homer,

Homer wrote poetry Tor the papers
in Greece long before Harper, the
Red Oak bard, even stuck a pen IN
ink. His poetry about Spring
seemed to make great hit around
that country, but it wouldn't
amount to shucks if written today.
He came the nearest, however,
filling the bill when it came to writ
ing stuff that nobody could under
stand of anybody prior to the days
of Robt. Browning
This is merely our personal opinion
hence doesn't cut much ice, but we
think that half the folks who rave
over Homer don't know poetry from
string beans.
He was a shiitless cuss and put in
his time inventing things for poster
ity to read. Posterity didn't know
it in time and has to take its medi-
cine. About all that we have been
able to ind that Homer ever did
was to write books for our colleges
where BOYS 90 to learn foot ball,
smoke cigarettes and acquire long
hair. What world of trouble it
would have saved if everything he
had ever written had been thrown
into the waste basket.
1t wouldn't be given space in the
papers now
He grew dissatisfied with his life
in the little town where he lived He
did this about the time that bows
grow sour and naughty and talk in
deep, hoarse voice. AT about the
same time he began to patronize the
barber shop, where he read the "Po-
lice Gazette" the "Standard' and
Town Topics"
HIS parents were plain people and
he got ashamed of them as he grew
up and his name appeared frequently
in the county papers. His father
was plain man and wore his pants
in his boots. He also ate pie with
his knife. But he was honest. He
paid, his debts and was good
neighbor. He helped the neighbors
thresh every fall and at butchering
old man Homer was in demand.
Little Homer got ashamed of his
folks, though, and the best they
could do, he would sit up till elsEe
O'Clock S0me nights to bemoa3 II
fate. He was a boy who lallgss
soar. lie should have been .dad
with a barrel stage. Excuse til
tie joke.
So when the papers at the cou
seat printed his poetry it turned
head and one evening while his ia
er was out doing the chores, lit
