Every town has a lot of lazy
loafers. Every town has a lot of
lazy devils claiming to have such
weak backs that if they under
took to split the kindling wood it
would lay them up for weeks.
They allow their wives to take in
boarders and do washing to keep
the family, but they are willing
to bet the drinks that they can
shoulder a twO-bushel bag of
wheat in a half bushel measure.
But when one of these cracker
box statesmen passes in his
checks his wife, instead of hold
ing a iollification meeting, will
weep over his worthless cadaver
and spend a years income on a
funeral outfit that don't fit him
when he deserves to be kicked
into eternity in his shirt tail. =

PANHANDLE DAY"-WHY NOT 7

Monday, October 2sth, has
been set apart as Panhandle Day
at the State Fair.
To help celebrate this day and
to impress Dallas and her visitors
with the great bigness of the
Panhandle, its people and its re-
sources, the Amarillo Chamber
of Commerce wants to make up
two special trains from that point
and to this end invites the coop
GRAFTON of naboring towns.
The News is instructed to say
that these trains will be composed
of chair cars and sleepers and
are booked, if secured, to leave
Amarillo at 10 a. m. Friday, run
through to Dallas without change
and on return leave Dallas at
midnight of Oct. 2Sth. A very
low rate is promised for the trip.
And further. if thirty or more
can be secured from one commu-
nifty special car for them is as
sured.
This proposition looks good to
The News and it is in for a Can
yon City and Randall county car,
duly decorated and fairly we'll
supplied with such things as will
make a special noise for Us and
ours. Why not?
Surely We can make up the
number, thirty, for one car at
least. 1t may be that we can
have two, but one we should have
anyway. Doing this will not only
secure comfort but a very low
rate for the trip. Why not:
Shall we have special Canyon
City car:
How many will go? Send your
names in to The News or give
them to the Commercial Club
secretary, J. F. Smith.

Diarrhoea Cured.

My father has for years been

John ]. Zirkle of Philippi, W. Va.
He saw Chamberlain's Collie,

advertised in the Philippi Repub-

result is one bottle cured him

they will likely keep busy during the

to study the habits OF the hen and
surround her with the conditions OF
springtime. which Is the most prolific
egg-laying season. Notice tho hens on
