Indications strongly point to the
fact, that owing to the hard times
recently experienced in New York
millionaires' quarters, living ex-
penses of some OF them must, dur
ing the next few months be consid-
erably reduced. Indeed, among all
the bunch, only one--the Astor fam
ily--will not see the necessity Of
curtailing. This, doubtless, is due
to their tact and care in garnering
and outstanding their hard earned
money" when same was coming in,
SO now the rainy day is upon them,
and they are fully equipped with a
roomy. substantial umbrella. But
what on earth the Goulds, the Fishs,
the vanderbilts, and others of their
ilk will do, 1t is hard to conceive.
Truly hard times are troublous.

ENTERPRISE
Shares Of Packing House Stock
Necessary for Good Stand.
Ing In City
(From Saturdays Daily.)

DO you belong, or don't you be-
long?" is about the way the pullers
for the packing house proposition
put 1t up to citizens now. To quality
for standing in the order of Accepted
Boosters one must own at least one
share OF packing house stock, and
Of course the man who owns ten or
twenty or forty, can claim a higher
standing For a succinct, definite,
and emphatic definition of an "un-
desirable citizen" the general public
is respectfully referred to j. II.
Avery, l.. A. Wells, Lon D. Mars,
II. Joe Isaacs, or any other OF the
committees and citizens who have
been soliciting support for the en-
terprise
1t is surprisingly easy to pay for
a share OF the stock and the number
of small men financially who are
signifying their willingness to in
vest in Panhandle enterprise is in
creasing No money is required now
and when the organization is COM
pleted, which will be in about three
months, half Of the amount, or $50
for each share, will be paid in. The
balance Will be paid on demand Of
the board OF directors which will not
be before probably six months more.
The share Of stock which may be
purchased on these easy payments
will be worth cash from the start and
while the returns from such a new
enterprise are not likely to be i'm
mediate, they are sure and the pur-
chase, the committees will prove to
the prospect, beat life insurance as
an investment scheme.
Mayor Lon D. Mars, chairman Of
the committees gives out the appeal
this afternoon for the final subscrip-
tons on the amount:
The Chamber OF Commerce,
through the committees haze been
for the past two weeks, earnestly
procuring subscription for stock in
the packing house.
"A great many men, who are in
business in Amarillo and others who
own town property, have neglected,
failed, or refused to subscribe for
stock.
NOW we earnestly plead with said
parties to come forward and help
in this work, and to secure this great
industry for Amarillo.
The Chamber OF Commerce and
the committees at work are in need
of your assistance. Stop and con-
slider, why do you expect the Coop
GRAFTON and patronage OF the public
in your affairs, when You fail and
refuse to help support and build your
own town?
This enterprise is for your own
personal benefit, then come forward
and show your willingness to help
your town, by subscribing for pack
ing house stock. This stock is sup
posed to be worth what you obligate
yourself to pay for It.
"The committees have been work
ing hard to raise the necessary sub
scription, have lost their time from
their own business and avocation and
pad their own expenses, so far, while
you have been at your desk, behind
your own counter, regularly conduct
ing your own affairs.
Now ask you to please consider
this proposition seriously, and give
this matter due consideration and
let your neighbors know that you
are patriotic and prove to your town
and to the people among whom you
live, that you may be entitled, to be

Western Kansas people are pros

The department OF agriculture in
Washington says the crop outlook Is
better, on a whole, than 1t ever was
before at this time OF the year. It
estimates the value OF the countrys
farm products for 1908 at $4,000
10000 mark. This will leave all
records far behind, 1t will more
than double the value OF the farm
yield of 1900 Big crops have always
heretofore meant good times for the
country and they will mean the same

CROPS PROMISE PROSPERITY.

Henry Clews says in his Wall
street letter: Good news OF the right
sort was forthcoming in the form Of
favorable crop reports. The July
government estimates indicated o.
$4,000, 900 bushels OF corn, which
would be 1870, 100000 bushels more
than last year and has been exceeded
but once. and that by the bumper
crop OF 2,927,O00, 900 in 1906. The
wheat crop is estimated at 692,79O,-
900 bushels or 100000 bushels
in excess OF last year and closely
approaches the largest crop on re-
cord. The promise for oats is L.
Ol2,00O,0O0, a bumper yield and
compared with 754,000,00O bushels
year ago. In addition to full
grain harvest the cotton crop prom
ises to be abundant. prevalent esti-
mates being about 1900, 900 bales;
and we have already secured a good
crop OF hay. The fruit crops, too,
are better than usual. There is, OF
course, the probability OF these es-
Inmates being reduced by unfavorable
weather. July and August are often
months OF deterioration, and in Sep
TENDER there is always danger OF
early frosts to both cotton and corn
in the northly sections OF the produc-
ing states. But these two leading
crops are not SO backward as year
ago; and, with larger acreage and
better condition than existed at this
time in 1907, there is ample ground
for hopefuness regarding the crop
situation. Since prices for nearly all
agricultural products are high, es-
pecially corn, our farmers are as
sured OF another prosperous year.
Cotton and wheat are cheaper than a
year ago, but current prices still *
ford a liberal profit to the grower.
Nothing more fortunate could hap
pen at this time than a good harvest,
for nothing could contribute more
effectually toward a general revival
Of business than large and profitable
crops. The wheat crop will stimu-
late railroad traffic and the proba-
bility OF good export demand will
strengthen our credit abroad. Corn
Is a product that will be turned
largely into pork and beef; also Civ.
ing a big tonnage to the railroads.
and tending ere long to lower the
present high and burdensome prices
Tor meat products. Surely the coun-
try is justified in taking spirit of
nopefulness as long as nature con-
tinues as special partner"

Commenting upon the fact that the
bureau OF navigation has, after an
expensive experience and a thorough
Investigation OF the subject, decided
that the newspaper is the best OF all
advertising mediums, the Baltimore
American remarks that there is moth
ing new in its decision TO rely upon
the papers in securing recruits for
the navy.
Other large advertisers have made
important tests this year, and have
decided to spend more OF their mop-
ey in the newspapers. Since last
fall the heaviest average advertl7-
ing loss of the newspapers in any city
has been less than Is per cent, In
the magazines 1t has been over 80
per cent.
In swinging back to the newspaper
general advertising is merely doing
what 1t has always done Both in
this country and Europe the big adj
yertlsers have tried every means Of
publicity only to settle down ia the
newspapers after all their expensive
experiments. The newspaper with a
home circulation is the one sure pub
LEFTY reliance. Nothing can take its
place. 1t is the universal medium.
Every member of the family uses it,
not once week, or once month,
but daily.

Thomas p. Gore. United States
senator from Oklahoma, thus ex-
presses his personal appreciation Of
William Jennings Bryan:
ut has been said OF Mr.. Bryan that
he is the greatest citizen OF America
II not In the world. His greatness is
not due to patronage or the glamour
OF office, nor to a klngly throne or
presidential chair. He has the
power neither to reward service nor
punish opposition His influence Is
due to the fact that he trusts the
people and the people trust him.
Better than any other man he en-
bodies the spirit OF our institutions
and lnterprets the thoughts, feelings,
hopes and aspirations OF the masses.
He combines the patriotism OF JEFF
ferson, the heroism OF Jackson and
the universal Philanthropy Of Lin
coin. He possesses the virtues OF
the conservative and the liberal,
without the vices OF either. He is
as brave as the bravest, as strong as
the strongest. From the path OF
duty he cannot be allured, either,
nor the hope or the glory OF official
preferment. Truth, justice and duty
form the lone star of his public and
private life"
