to inculcate into the youthful mind
a knowledge OF how to care for plants

GOOD CROPS PROMISED.

A Fort Worth paper makes the
prediction that the state OF Texas
will do such wonderful things in a
farming sense this year that she will
go into winter quarters this year
with bullying corn cribs, smoke
houses festooned with fat meat, and
money in the bank from surplus ship
ments. indeed, prospects we're never
more generous and the intelligent
farmer is optimistic.
This is alright, there's already a
good season In the ground and moth
ing short OF a miracle can destroy
the already promised good crops, so
naturally our farmers are not only
hopeful, they are almost iubilant.

The Capitol Freehold Land G In

do their share toward peopling the
Panhandle, for they have signed a
contract to have 300 families of
Swedish people located on their
lands around Farwell within the next
two years. The first 100 families
are due TO Arrive by Sept, 1, next;
100 families more will be located by
Sept. /, 1909, and the third bunch
will be on hand one year later.
1t is well known fact that as a

A WAR IN OIL.


That the various original Texas oil
companies are not puppets Of, nor
in any way controlled by the great,
almighty Standard on company or
any of It's many tendrils. is being am
ply proven by the catch atch-can
engagement now on the mat in Dali
las.
A month or so ago the Texas COM
pany and the Gulf Refining company
commenced, In a legitimate manner,
doing business from their wagons,
on the streets of Dallas, which said
streets had up 10 that time been
wholly and apparently incOuquerably
monopolized by the Waters-Pierce
Oil company, and that the Waters
Pierce Oil company do not care for
Legitimate competition is, too. being
amply proven by the fiercest system
OF price slashing ever known in oil
circles as witness the following dar-
ing and startling reductions in prices
OF kerosene.
Retail grocers who paid 12c a
gallon for kerosene and 16c a gal
Ion for gasoline, less the discounts,
which II is stated in some quarters
amounts to more than usual, about
one month ago, are now asked to pay
only sc for kerosene and loo for gas
ollne, less the discounts. What these
discounts amount to is a matter OF
speculation, these being kept secret,
but retail grocer said yesterday he
believed that today he would be able
to buy kerosene for about Sc net.
These prices are much lower than
those charged at other places in the
common point territory. Paris is
paying sc, lie and 13c for kerosene
and lie for gasoline; Mckinney loo
to IL Nc for kerosene and Is NC to
1871 for gasoline; Mineral Wells
141sc for kerosene and 1910 for
gasoline and Terrell lie to lac for
kerosene and he to / &c for gasoline.
II surely is not out OF the good
ness OF their hearts, nor their heav-
emily feeling for the welfare OF the
poor that these startling reductions
are made, nor is It to make good
the Lands assessment of $4,000
600. Then In the name of the Lord
are they overstocked and want to
unload? or what is It but a dastardly
attempt to swamp honest competi-
ton?
TO get from headquarters a com
plete reason for all this vigorous
slicing is as vain an effort as was
Dame Partington's attempt to sweep
back the rush OF the Atlantic with
a broom.
Rumors are ominous, but II based
on facts such as above they become
portentous, and being so, need care
and scrupulous care. The fair state
of Texas is now known the world
over for her equitable laws, and that
being the case 1t surely should be-
and is---as fair for one affair to enter
into business as another, and that
being the case and we knowing that
Texans readily recognize right from
wrong, these legal competitors will.
before the end receive a royal re-
cep'ion and a goodly show for their
vested capital.

Railroads galore are on the tapis
all OF which eventually means good

Trumpet of Texico published the fol-
lowing and very reasonably closes as
1t does:
There is project on foot for a
railroad to run from Quanah, Texas,
to Texico. Silverton, Texas, has sub
scribed $4,000 bonus. One Ma
jor f. C. Gordon seems to be the
promoter. The projected line is fea-
sible. but whether It ever material
ICES or not is another question, The
must be some fire"
all other proposed cross Texas lines,
seem to head for Texico. In fact
all eyes are conferred on Texico, and
IL seems reasonably probable that
some day some one OF the many'pro-
posed railroads will cross Texas and
enter New Mexico at this point.
Where there's so much smoke there
must be some fire."
