Kansas City, Aug. IA. II. Tandy
of Canadian, Tex, was in the city this
week. lie Is one Of the old time ranch
men of the Panhandle country who
has witnessed the changes that have
taken place during the past few
years. He has seen the raw land
Of the plains that sold a few years
ago at a dollar an, acre and less,
grow in value until It now brings
$40 an acre in places He remem-
bers that country when cattle raising
was the only pursuit OF the people.
Now the big ranches have been cut
up into stock farms, and farming is
being done. He says the small grain
crop this year was good one, and
that the grass is good also. But
our greatest drawback now" said
Mr., Tandy, is in getting farm help,
That country has not been a farm
ing country, so we have no strange
farm hands travelling around look
ing for jobs. Farmers all around me
were unable to harvest hay and
grain this summer simply because
they did not have the help. We are
offering S25 month the year around
for steady men"

First of Season.

Kansas City, Aug. 15--The first
cattle shipments this season from the
Amarillo district came in Wednes-
day w. o. Hamilton, who has been
in that part of the Panhandle coun-
try for IS years, brought in four car
loads Of cattle. He reports that
country in fine condition, and the
stockmen and farmers in an optimis-
tic frame of mind. The season has
been favorable" said Mr.. Hamilton.
THE crops are good and the far
mers are well pleased with the re-
suits all around. They have turned
things around down there during the
past few years, and are now raising
grain, hogs and cattle. instead of cat
tie alone, as they did few years
ago, Wheat, oats, katfir corn and
cane are now common crops. This
season the wheat made an average
yield, and the usual high grade in
quality. Some fields yielded 50
bushels to the acre, which, when the
quality is considered, is hard to beat
in any country. The forage crops
are especially good"

WhyAdulterated
Paint is Dear

A maker of adulterated
white lead sneered "Why
should paint be pure ? No
one eats it."
True, but when white
lead is adulterated with
barytes, sublimed lead,
gypsum, whiting, etc., it
loses the qualities which
make pure white lead the
best paint pigment.
And when these imita-
tons are sold as white lead,
the consumer is deceived
into payingwhite lead prices
for worthless substitutes.
