1--WE WANT THE EARTH"

When j. l.. Smith, president OF the
Amarillo National Bank of Com
merce, made the remark in Satur-
days railroad meeting that ANA
rillo wants the earth" he said it all
in four words.
The Panhandle Is a large territory.
1t is but in the first era of develop
ment, The varied productiveness Of
Panhandle soils we are but beginning
to learn. Our climate surpasses in
healthfulness ana life-giving vlgor
even the zephyr-laden air OF Callfor-
MAS sun-clad regions. Water, as
pure as the molten snow that driSs
from Alpine peaks, abounds upon
our plains. Natures masterpieces,
which no artist ever dreamed OF re-
producing with brush and paint
greet the eye upon everyhand.
The Panhandle seems to us like
the creators masterpiece, preserved
for His Chosen people who are now
coming on from all parts of the
country to take possession of their
God-given heritage.
The population OF the United
States Is increasing rapidly. Within
twenty years We must house and en-
ploy fifty millions OF additional peo-
pie. Within the next forty years,
when the child OF today will have but
reached his prime, he will be in the
struggle for sustenance with two
hundred millions of others. Thus,
while We are fast growing in number,
we will never be able to add single
acre to the agricultural area OF our
country. Our public lands are prac-
tlcally exhausted. The forth, the

time is thus left free Cor other uses,

East and Southeast even now are
facing great peril In their soil ex-

The Panhandle is the natural re-
source, the country which holds

millions OF people. Even the most

remotest conception Of what Is in

HETTY GREEN.

The richest and shrewdest woman
in the world, recently told repre-
sentative OF the Chicago Tribune
some Facts about the financial con.
ditions of the wealthy people OF New
York that will make the compare
lively poor man who has mis- five
room cottage on Easy avenue, or
bungalow on Comfort stree, set up
and be glad he is 0here.
When the great crash came the
millionaires who required q million
a year for their household expenses,
we're up against IL properly, and Het-
ty tells, in words that have no double
meaning how they came to her FOR
help, she had TO loan the rich Har-
ry Payne Whitney million to tide
him over. and the Vanderbilt's came
to her with all the family diamonds
and jewels to pawn for n big loan
to raise the Gladys dowry, but she
turned them down on the plea that
she did know the value OF diamonds,
and did not want that kind OF Sc
curity. She said that rich as the mil
lionaires were, they spent so much
money that many times they needed
money much worse than the mechan-
ic who earned his $40 week
She says, however, that the finan-
cial situation will soon adjust itself
She says the panic was caused by a
lack Of faith, and that Roosevelt was
greatly to blame, "In my opinion"
she said. "the President has not
made good. What would you think
If l we're to say every day, for years,
that / was going out to kill a musk
rat and then never did it. What has
he accomplished"
She says she is no politician but
she makes this prediction about the
coming Republican convention to be
held In Chicago in June. She said:
"All this talk about Taft being the
nominee of the Republican party is
moonshine. The real leaders under
stand the true situation. The scheme
is to pose Taft before the country as
the Presidents choice. He will get
all the delegates he can, but he will
not get enough to nominate him in
the convention. He knows 1t, and
everybody else on the inside knows
it. When it becomes apparent that
he cannot carry the convention Taft
will get up and proclaim that Theo-
dore Roosevelt will be demanded by
the country, or If he doesn't some
body else in authority will.
Taft's whole strength will be
thrown for Roosevelt and Teddy will
sweep the convention like a prairie
fire. He will have to accept the nom
ination then. It Is beautiful scheme
and probably will work"
Hetty Is a wise and shrewd wo-
man, and more than she have the
same belief she has so bodily ex-
pressed.

The Herald accidentally forgot to
mention the ever-pleasant and ever

the signal of the mosquito, among its
attractions. Absence in winter of

1t has been demonstrated that the
Panhandle in the open air can pro-
duce pure bred Hereford cattle which
hold their own with the best in the
country. In fact the Panhandle cat
tie, lately exhibited by John Hutson
of Canyon City, at the Kansas City
and Denver exhibitions have carried
off a number OF first prizes. What
one man can do others ought to try
to do, at least.

$1,5OO,OOO FOR

(From Wednesday sDaily.)


During 1907 on the line Of the
