in response to call for more copy"
from the printers, and into your office and
presence saunters well-dressed, smil-
ing masculine, who proceeds to intro
duce himself and gently engage you in
conversation, and then stealthilY pulls
from the ample folds of his coat a book
of great pith and moment, "indispensi-
BILE to every library and home, and be-
seeches you to buy at all hazards regard
less of your purse; then it is that you

The reports come to US that the farm
ers are putting in vast acreage
in cotton, and very little corn and
wheat. The ten cents per pound re-
Gently paid has set them Wild again,
| and they are going to make heap of
cotton and try holding it again for ten
cents. Better be careful, or eight cents
cotton will be the ruling price. The
farmer who makes an abundance of
wheat, corn and meat will be the sue
cessful farmer.
If you are a kicker and see the shadow
of failure in everything that is proposed
to help the town, for heavens sake go
into some secluded canyon and kick
your own shadow on the clay bank, and
thus give men who are working to build
up town a chance. One long-faced,
hollow-eyed, whining kicker can do
more to keep away business and capital
from town than all drouths, short
crops, chinch bugs, cyclones and big
yards combined.

On Pullman sleeper, not long ago,
about o'clock in the morning, when
the passengers we're almost ready to

car began to cry Justify. Just at that
identical moment the porter opened the
door and sung out: First call for
breakfast"
The very fast speed of coming down
Winters street, across the sidewalk on
to the square by automobiles, is going
to result very seriously to some passer-
by, child, woman or man, one of these
days. Some very serious accidents have
narrowly been averted by this reckless
running of automobiles.
