HUGE TURNIPS
RAISED BY A TEXAN

Alb Garris is there with the goods in
raising turniPs, says the Collector
CTex) News. That's not hearsay,
either; he has shown the product. Re
Gently Mr. Garris, who farms not a
great distance from the county seat,
came into the News office with what
appeared TO be a couple Of pretty big
b1nches Of tJTnips-that there were
only q couple of turnips instead of a
bunch.
One Of the tuTnips was weighed, and
tipped the scale at eight and a half
pounds, and the other is but about a
pound under that. The tops are more
than a ward in length, and The breadth
of the leaves are in proportion. Pardon
the expression, but that's -urnips some.
And Mr. Garris says it's all COlleton
county product, too; he bought the
seed at home-sOme of DR.. Klein $
stocl1-and brought on the crop him
self.

We are ready to wager the hest
suit of clothes to be bought in the
district that the organ has earned less
money in the last year than has the
News, and that left to any three bus
mess men in the district the News
will be given decision for having said
ten times more in praise of Ely, more
in effort to build up Ely and to have
spent more actual cash in helping
boost Ely in the last year than has
the organ in its entire history. Also
that a popular vote will show over
whelming opinion that the methods
of the Ely handful in the past have
done more to hold the town back
than all other influences combined.
Today these same methods are being
pursued in further effort to hold the
town back through the election of a
do-nothing board of commissioners
which will bring decline in the prop
erty values of Ely and enable the
hand orgen crowd to buy in lots
cheaper than they can get them to-
day or than they ever will be able to
get them If the Republican board OF
commissioners is elected on Noyem-

No matter the price of copper in
the markets of the world, the mines
and reduction works of Ely district
will keep going AFTER they once
get in full swing and are producing
the metal at the minimum cost they
will eventually be able to reach. This
time is a couple of years ahead, when
our monthly production will be
around ten times what 1t is today.
The stupendous proposition we have
here cannot be brought to perfect OPP
Grafton in a day, week, month or
year. The progress that has been
made to date is marve1ous and sets a
new standard in the copper mining
world for rapidity in the attainment
OF results, which reflects credit upon
all who have been associated in
bringing about that which has been
done here. But as yet, as every man
with the slightest knowledge of large
! industrial undertakings knows with
out being told, there is a great deal
to be done before the experimental
stage Is left behind. Meantime We
are in no shape for cent copper
which Bryan's election would mean
and which would close us down along

Who have made the improvements

the corporations And how does the
organ argument that corporation

strike you in that light? Do we want
to tie the purse strings of the cor
porations, or do we want to
have them with free hand in the
expenditure of more millions for the
upbuilding of the district and the
