A London paper, which Is far

Mary Ann problem thus: I'm the
United states the Mexican dollar has
exchange value az SOC In Mexico
the American dollar has the same
value on the frontier OF the United
States where Texas Joins Mexico
there are two saloons, one on each
side OF the frontier, A man buys a
Toe drink OF whisky at the American
saloon and pays for II with an Amer
lean dollar, receiving a Mexican dol
lar as change, With this he crosses
the border, goes into the Mexican sa-
loon, hands over the Mexican dollar
for loo drink and receives an
American dallar In change. IL is evil
dent that the limit OF his purchasing
power is the length OF time he can
stand, He finally wakes up with a
bad headache and the American dol
lar with which he started. Who
paid for the whisky?"-Hamllton

OF course the London paper being
edited far away and by Englishmen,

thousand-mle stretch Of territory
where Texas joins Mexico" and
where "there are two saloons" But
that distant contemporary should
know that II liquor could be obtained

That the great plains country Is
moving TO the front as successful

EXCHANGE COMMENT.


Parties from Wildorado state that
farmers in that community are busy
in the planting OF wheat. The most
OF these are from the northern por-
lions OF the country, and declare that
wheat-sowing need by no means be
carried over until the snow flies.
The early planting is prompted by
the desire upon the part OF the farm
ers to have winter grazing on the
grain. This style OF wheat-growing
is somewhat new to the people OF the
Panhandle, but those engaging in 1t
state that there can be no doubt of
the wisdom OF the nomenclature
rillo Panhandle.
The Northern farmers way is to
keep something going on all the year,
He grazes his cows on his wheat dur
ing the winter and threshes out an
abundant store OF grain from the
same field In the summer. He fat
tens few choice beef steers from his
corn crop and a few choice hogs
from the steers leavlngs. Thus he
feeds the same corn twice and util-
ICES the same wheat in two forms.
And he gets rich and lives in a fine
house close to a big barn while his
wife goes to town in an automobile.
Dallas News.
The time is not far distant when
combination grain and stock farm
will be the rule in the great Pan
handle. The fact that Amarillo will
soon possess packing plant Of the
first class has given impetus already
to the small stock farm industry over
the plains. There will be thousands
of hogs grown from this time on
where there we're only hundreds
heretofore. The News will probably
take pleasure in telling the other
portions Of Texas about the way
Amarillo and the Panhandle are do
ing things these days.
