IT CERTAINLY IS NO USE.

\ gentleman who signs his
name as Renter, but not for
long" in the Jacksboro News,
ends his article as follows:
Say, brother renter, if the land
owner won't let you plant enough
grain. forage and pigs to feed
family and stock. well, have
enough manhood to let him alone,
if you have made contracts for
a. D. 1909. Be a true man and
fill them to the letter if the collar
gals the shoulder, do the square
thing every time by the land
owner but have independence
enough TO assert your rights in
the future if you have not in the
past
There is only one thing that l
can see a good excuse for dealing
in futures, that is buying a home.
Talk the matter over with the
wife. the verdict will be: BY
the eternal we will buy a home
if not more than 70 acres" Yes.
a country of homes makes free
men while a country of tenants
makes serfs.
There j. man who will sue
coed for he seems to have the
determination. Ii certainly is no
Use to work and toll for the en-
tire benefit Of others. While we
recognize that there are condi-
tons under which men have to
rent land but still this condition
should not exist forever with that
individual. In this great state of
Texas there IS too much good
land available at low prices for
man 10 be a renter always. Come
to the Plains where land is cheap,

in a very short time.

A Newspaper Ad.

A merchant in one of the
large eastern Cities says an
advertisers magazine, com
posed a circular letter recently
that looked to him like a trade
winner. He mailed 10000 copies
of it to a select list of names at
an expense Of $3.50. The net
profit on the resulting orders
was $3.50. He showed the let
ter and the results to an acquaint
ance in another line of business.
who persuaded him to print the
same letter, word for word, in a
local newspaper. The newspa-
per adj cost $114. The profits
on the sales directly attributed
to it within three days were
1862 80, with mail orders still
coming in at the end of that time.
What is the mOral?" There are
several. The most obv ious
MORALS that the daily newspaper
carries business announcements
at a cheaper rate and with much
greater certainty Of effective de-
livery than Uncle Sam. -Ex-
change.

What better investment can you
make than in shade trees: The

Sleep,-Daily Panhandle.
Shade trees planted along the
streets of a city do more to at
tract Vi 5 tor than many
large public buildings standing
in vacant lots. They make amin
yiting appearance which shows
people who like the "home-life. "
In addition you never saw a town
with nice large shade trees that
the people did not take an inter
est in making their homes have
an attractive appearance. In
fact a few shade trees will make
a permanent improvement which
will live forever in the town.

Success for any municipality i
brought about much the same a.
success comes to the individual
through energy, intelligent en-
deavOr and general get-up-and
get. The life of the municipality
after all. is the life of the citizen
ship en- maSse, and if the either
is a dead one the town will be q
dead one. To state these brief
elementary facts seems peril
nent just at this time when earn
est efforts are being made by a
few men in Amarillo to bring
about a renaissance in the life OF
this town. 1t is no secret, and
has got past the point of "trea
son, - to say that Amarillo needs
waking up, not a gentle touch,
but a shaking that will cause the
dry bones to spring into life.
The hour has arrived in the
career Of this city when its PEG
pie must either get busy or see
its growth checked, and to the
advantage Of other towns on the
plains. Amarillo can not claim a
monopoly Of all industries com
ing to the southwest. The great
bulk Of them, however, will locate
in Amarillo if Amarillo will show
some spirit Of enterprise and
welcome; and the hour las come
to harmonic civic conditions and
work in harmony that men and
money may be drawn to this good
city.-Amarillo Daily Panhandle.
The idea is right. Everybody
will have to 'get-up-and-get" and
do that thing right now, not a
year from now. in order for any
city to amount to as much as the
natural advantages" Of that city
would naturally permit. We use
the word permit advisedly for the
reason that many people seem to
think that things will come to
their town whether or no on ac-
count of the Natural advant-
ages. These natural advant-
ages don't amount to a hill of
beans in making a town without
the aforesaid push and hustle
they only permit" the proper
development of a great city from
a small town. Further down in
the editorial of the Daily Pan ,
handle it says: Wake up! Put
up. Let's get busy, not tomor-
row, next week, next month, next /
year. but today" That expresses
the main idea. Get busy.

Boston, Mass, Oct. Am opera

started" says DR.. Page, "and conf
IDENTIFY believe that the day is coming
when the people will realize that the
cutting Of the appendix is a criminal
operation.
AS fc- the widely proclaimed bene-
fits and saving Of life by operations
to cut the appendix, 1t seems hardly
necessary to cite the long list of
deaths following the operation. Only
recently we have had the striking in
stances OF Clyde Fitch, the playwright,

surgeons cut off Gov Johnsons appen-

him a second time, and on the third
operation he fell victim of mistaken

DUCHESS HERE WITH SON
Daughter Of Theodore P. shonts Says
Young Duke VIII Be an
American.

New York, Oct. 4.--For the first
time since he. marriage the Duchess
de Chaulnes saw her native land as
the George Washington locked yes
terday afternoon at Hoboken With
her was her ten-months-old son, Man
uel, Due de Chaulnes; her mother,
Mrs. Theodore P. Shonts, and her sis
ter, Marguerite. There were sixty
pieces of luggage and the customs in
spection was concluded barely in time
to allow the party to catch the 5:25
p. m. train for Hot Springs, Va, where
they will remain for a number of
weeks.
The duchess looks thinner and con-
sequently taller, than when she left
New York, two years ago. Her eyes
shone with pride when she looked at
her chubby listed, sturdy little son.
No, he doesn't speak English yet;
he understands it, however," the
duchess laughingly remarked. Il don't
think he is a prodigy-I hope he isn't
at least and ten-months-old infant
doesn't speak any language very we'll
But he is going to be just as much an
American baby as he is a French
baby, and so thought I'd begin now
to let him see America" /"

HAL-LEY'S COMET
WILL hit EARTH
PRIEST SEES INTERPOLATION OF
PREDICTION OF DEsTRuc-

Las Vegas. N. M, Oct. 4.-That the
world is in grave danger of being de-
stroyed this winter by collision with
Halley's comet, and that this catas-
.trophe is what Jesus Christ had in
mind when he predicted the destruc-
tion of the world by fire is the start
ling assertion of the Rev. Father M.
Charroppin, S. J., of ST. Louis Uni
yersity, one of the greatest living
astronomers, who is visiting here on
his way to Flagstaff, Ariz., where he is
to spend several months in making
special astronomical observations.
For fifteen years Father Charroppin
has made close study of the periodic
visits into our solar system of this
great comet. Father Charroppin be
lieves that the comet is of sufficiently
solid enough mass to shatter both the
world and itself in the event of a col
lision. At present the comet is at
hand and the scientist calls attention
Of the world to the Savior's warning.
The Rev. Father Joseph M. Maria is
entertaining the astronomer here.
