SOWING WHEAT
THIS WINTER

Statement Is made by those who
have had occasion 10 keep closely in
touch with the proposition that there
will be a great deal OF wheat SOW
ing this season, In the Panhandle Of
Texas. This statement ls based on
the fact that there is a great de-
mand for seed wheat, and that much
lands are now being prepared for the
reception Of the grain,
The present rains which are tho
heaviest for the past several weeks,
will have much to do with making
the crops a success. A good sea
son In the ground is considered an
essential to a fine crop, and there
can be no dlsputing the fact that all
Is IN readiness, from that standpoint,
Large forces arc now engaged,
and have been for the past several
weeks in the preparation OF wheat
lands, Seed wheat is being sought,
and within short while a goodly
force will be employed with tho mat
ter Of planting the grain for the har-
vest Of next season.

THE SCHOOL MIDDLE

=
' Daily inquiries are received at the
office oEAhe Panhandle asking when
the schools of tho city will start, II
was q desire to be able to answer
this question that prompted an APP
plication 10 Professor G. G. Foster,
the superintendent, for information.
Unfortunately Professor Foster is In
tho same. condition as the remainder
OF the interested citizenship: He
don't know, but would like to.
II Is unfortunate that the schools
OF the state Just at his time are in
such taRgle, us TO render the be-
ginning OF the next term decidedly
problematlc. II ha sheen held by the
legal department OF tho state that
the enactments regarding independ-
ent districts is Illegal. This has
proved a sad blow to not only the
schools OF this. but practically every
city in Texas. Just what the end OF
the controversy will be, remains to
be seen.

Dear Sir; Would you rather have

heads and say nothing?
We'd rather have ours, at long
intervals, say: 1--WE want some
more paint, and we want Devoe. "
We know it isn't in human nature
to paint very often; we don expect
them Ito come very often; don't t
want EN- to. All we want is to paint
what they have TO paint, whenever
they paint it; the longer the time,
the surer they are to comeback.
There's business enough in the
world; there are houses enough to
paint let EN- take their time.
If we were a shoemaker, we d make
