are being raised 10 offer as a

and Investor very much desires
to see this educational institu-
ton located in the Panhandle
country. 1t will certainly mean
much to the surrounding terri
tory TO have a state educational
institution in this section of Tex.
as. In these days of close compe.
tition. high living expenses, and
concentrated thought and action.
il takes special training to fit
men and women to contend sue
cessfully with the problems
which confront them in every
walk of life and at every turn of
the road. Hence, We say that
we hope the Panhandle country
will be successful in landing the |
normal. We have boys and girls
here whom we can send to it: !
lads and lassies who need to be
taught what to do and how best
to do it in order that they may
be we'll armed and equipped to
engage in life's battle with some

A Boosters Pledge,

The following article was hand
ed in to The Texan by one o.
Dalhart's best citizens and the
spirit of it is so appropriate thai
it is commended to the careful
consideration of every man tina,
holds at heart the prosperity OF
his town:
On my word and honor,
hereby now declare that as long
as | am a resident of this com
munity, it will be my constant
aim to boost all the time and ev-
cry time.
| will do what l can for any
public work that has the good of
the community as its object
| will submit and abide by ma
jority rule and will not knock
and howl my head of if things
are not done my way.
| will take no radical or ex-
IRENE position on any question
before the people. and will have
due respect for the opinions of
my friends and neiglbors when
their opinions are opposed to
mine.
| will try to always say some
thing good about my town and
my people, or Il keep my bazoo
shut, and "cut-it-out" like a man.
/ realize that if this communi. |
~ is good enough to live in and .
make my money in. it is the prop F..
er place to spend my money in |
especially when l am patronizing
Legitimate home industries.
| will do all within my power
TO foster, promote, build up and
support every Legitimate indust-
ry or enterprise in my home
town. '-Dalhart Texan.

Comparative Values.

Below is a comparison of the
value Of farm products per acre
In Iowa and Texas at the farm
for ten years, 1897 to 1906. in
elusive. taken from the United
States Government Hand Book.
published by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington. D.
c.. for 1906:
Corn-Iowa: $685.: Texas:
Ss.91. Wheat Iowa: s.. o.: Texas
S9.62. Oats-Iowa: 500: Texas:
Sll.24. Barley-Iowa: S-.91:
Texas: Sl4.96. Potatoes Iowa:
s32. 53; Texas: SCI. %. Hay-Iowa
S9.72: Texas: S12.6e.
From the above figures you
can see that Iowa corn was only
% cents more valuable per acre
than Texas corn for the past ten
years; but you can notice the
value of the other crops. and if
Iowa land is worth $40 to $50
per acre, how much is Texas
land worth that will net the far
mer more money per acre for a
period of ten years, and the ay-
erage farmer can cultivate some.
thing like twice as much in the
Texas Panhandle than he can in
Illinois or Iowa. S. w. Farmer
and investor.
