The Wisdom Of Dealing at Home.

A well known Chicago mail
order house has been indicted at
Des Moines, Iowa, on three
counts charging fraud by the
use of the United Statee mail.
1t is charged that the firm sold
paint which it represented to
contain white lead, which was
false; that it sold a ring repre-
sented to contain four pearls and
four sapphires, which was false;
that it sold another ring repre-
sented to contain twelve pearls
and two rubies, which was false.
The firm may be convicted and
required to pay a fine, but the
dupes who bought the spurious
goods still have the bag to hold.
They have parted with their
money and can never get it back.
But the mail order house, though
it may have to pay a fine and
costs, will recoup itself with
more chalk paint and colored
glass stones. The moral is to
buy goods at home and thus re-
fuse to help these Chicago cor
mOrant pay fines and costs. 1t
is one of the second seven won
ders why people will send cash
in advance to these mail order
houses and risk being swindled
when they can buy goods just as
cheap at home and on credit be-
sides. Goods purchased at
home can be taken back if they
prove defective or unsatisfactory,
while the mail order stuff has to
be kept, good or bad. Or if it
could be sent back the purchaser
would have to pay transportation
charges both ways, which would
be as much a loosing game as

A tower boomer gets off this:
Tell me not in mournful num-
bers, that the town is full of
gloom, for the mans a crank
that slumbers in these bust
ling days of boom. Life is
real, life is earnest, and the
grave is not its goal; every dol
lar that thou turnest helps to
make the old town roll. But en-
joyment and not sorrow is our
destined end or way; if you have
no money, borrow-buy a corner

out of his way to falsify against
thai country, when he says:
Sixteen years ago this coun
try had bigger boom than that
now on. Farm land ran up in
price along the railroads. Far
more settlers We're drawn here
then than now. Everything
bloomed as the rose. Then came
the great drought. 1t lasted
nearly six years. Farmers lost
nearly everything they had.
Many walked out while on every
road were covered wagons drawn
by lean horses, taking the once
prosperous families back to

Their he says.
But the whole Panhandle
country is something different
when it fails to rain. Then all
crops fail, the grass dries up,
cattle perish, fruit trees wither,
and die and gloom and despair
is everywhere extant throughout
the region"
Mr.. Dickerson further states:
TO reply to Mr.. Smith in de-
tail would require more space
than the average newspaper
could spare, but enough can be
said that would convince any fair
man he is either chron-
ic Kicker" or else has an utter
ior motive in Knocking" on the
fairest land in the South, The
Texas Panhandle.
The Government weather
bureau at Amarill was establish
ed nearly 10 years ago, and since
that time the average annual
has been about n inches.
Ten years ago, or in 1897, it was
1916, the lowest any year since

Smith evidently rekoned without

Up in the Panhandle country
and throughout Central West
Texas they are breaking the land
with steam plows. That's meet
ing the intensive demands of de-
velopment. Outside capital is
the steam pillow demanded by in
side opportunities for enterprise
and commerce. The one-mule
power turning pillow and the dime
invested in the crouch are not
heavy enough for the firing line
in Texas today. We need the
wonderful energy and power of
the investment dollar. Progress
sive sentiment has retired the
dime. Let Texas grow Fort

THE PANHANDLE OF TEXAS.
1T Offers Greater Opportunities Today Than
Any Other Place on American Continent
Says Prominent Newspaperman.

Kansas City, Mo-, Dec. 10TH
(Special) j. B. Dickerson, edit
or of The Southwestern News
Syndicate, and one of the best
known newspaper and magazine
writer's in the Southwest, was
shown an item which appeared
in The Carthage Press under
date of Dec. 9Th. While he did
not care to criticise the author
of the erroneous and slanderous
statement published, said it was
a pity that such misleading
stories were given publicity. He
said an investigation by an i'm
partial judge would disprove
many of the statements, and if
Chas. H. Smith owns land in
Jasper county, Missouri he de-
sires to sell, he should give this
as a rea son for knocking"
against the Panhandle.
After reading the Smith "Spe-
cial correspondence to the Press"
dated Amarillo, Texas, Nov. Both,
Mr.. Dickerson says:
"Practically every positive
statement made by Mr.. Smith
can be disproved by men who
neither have lands for sale in the
Panhandle or elsewhere, but men
who only desire justice. spent
