profitable There are certain things
which the man who makes a small
crop must do just as surely rs must
the man who makes large crop, and
the cost of doing these absolutely es-
sential things alwayA amounts to
enough TO wipe out all the profit from
a crop of less than average size.
So, once again, our advice to each
and every individual farmer Is: First
Of all, build up your soil and increase
your average yields. No matter how
high prices may get, unless You make
a respectable yield, you will get scant
pay for your labor. With a good soil
and good crops. you are assured, even
In season OF low prices, OF fairly
remunerative returns. The only men
who makes money on their cotton
crops-or any other crops-when
prices are low are the men who make
big yields. The men who make most
money when prices are high are these
same men. The average farmer-the
170-pound man-will get almost moth
ing for his labor in a season of low
prices, and no very large wages even
when prices, as at present, are good.
We believe it Is the duty OF every
farmer to do all he can to insure to
farmers fair price for the things
they produce; but to him personally
1t Is worth just as much to reduce
the cost of production as to raise the
selling price, and he can do far more
at 1t. The margin between cost and
selling price is what counts, AMI there
is no surer way to increase this mar
gin than to build up the soil so as to
raise larger crops. This is, we believe,
the first and greatest thing for the
farmer to do That he is doing 1t, will
not decrease his efficiency in promot-
ing any measure for the general good.
II will increase II, indeed; for in any
economic struggle the man who is not
his own master financially is not like
ly to be very formidable contestant,
no matter how willing his spirit may
be.
Our greatest problem as farmers is
larger yields to the acre; our first

Nonsense About Criminal Nature"

Criminal nature!" As Thomas r.
lyman, the young warden Of the Colo
RADIO state penitentiary, propelled his
sturdy bulk into the automobile, his
merry Irish face lost its usual smile,
and he fairly snarled the words:
That's the kind of talk that makes
me sick. tell you, there isn't any!
Come right down to 1t, and this thing
they call criminal nature is only hui
man nature at its worst. Look at those
men! Take 'em one at aetime. Honest
to goodness, I've been on many a
camping trip with fellows that weren't
half as fine and likeable and square.
When theorists talk to me / tell them
that the real criminal problem is to
get rid of these criminologists that
fill the people with a lot of solemn
dope about criminal eyes, criminal
ears, criminal mouth and that sort Of
stuff. It's all poppycock. Why, shave
that shock head of yours, take off the
collar and tie, put yourself in a tick
ing shirt, and the average criminol-
ogist would weep with Joy at the sight.

LARGEST YIELD The
FARMERS GREATEST PROBLEM

Last year the cotton crop was small,
but 1t brought good prices and re-
turned to the farmers of the South
much more than the usual amount OF
money. Hence, we now hear much
again of the theory OF small crops and
prosperity; but when we consider that
the average production of lint cotton
was only 1907 pounds per acre, the
matter takes on different aspect.
There is money in growing cotton
at IA or 10 cents pound when one
makes respectable yield; but we sub.
NIT to the judgment of any thinking
man that, even at these prices, the
man who makes only an average crop
is not going to get rich very fast. One
hundred and seventy pounds OF cotton
at 10 cents a pound will amount to
$25.50;j $40 pounds of seed at $50 a
ton will be $5.10 or total return
from this average acre OF $1,000. For
tnls the FARMER must grow his cot
ton, pay his fertilizer bills. pay interest
on the value of his land, pay for or
do the picking, ginning and marketing.
Even at these unusually high prices,
the average farmer does not Lave a
great deal left when he pays for all
these things. The man who grows
twice this much to the acre, however,
can make money even il he gets or
cents a pound less for his staple;
and the man who makes a bale, or a
bale and a half, to the acre is assured
of profit whenever prices are at all
rea sonable.
We believe with all our hearts in
the organizationsof farmers, In their
standing together for better prices, in
every effort to keep the cotton crop
down to reasonable acreage; but
none of these matters is of as much
Importance to the individual as Is his
yield to the acre. The biggest Yield is
not always the most profitable one,
but a very small yield can never be

portant work of the evening was the
passing of an ordinance against gam
ing This is the most rigid ordinance
that has ever been offered here and
surely if any law will prevent gam

feet. The ordinance makes it illeea!

to play at such game, and making l.
illegal for any owner to lease a build
Ing or grounds for gambling purposes
and providing for the destruction OF
all gambling property that is found.
The fines for violating this; ordinance
will be 500 and thirty days in jail.
The ordinance also provides that If
any police officer shall neglect his
duty in enforcing this law that n"
shall be fined $50 or 500, and dis
missed from the service. This will
make it Illegal to operate Slot ma
chimes or in fact any game of chance
in the city.
The resignation of Sid Underwood
as mounted policeman was accepted
bv the commissioners and j. G.
Thompson was appointed to the place.
His appointment wss confirmed,
i. H. Love was granted permission
to erect a warehouse in the rear Of

Commissioner Bridgman reported

Worthy President,
GOT SPLENDID PREMIUM.

The first bale of cotton of the seas
on that was brought here yester-
day by Ance Forbes a negro who
lives on Caddo creek a few miles
north OF the city, was bought by
Love and Thurmond, and the price
paid was fourteen cents. A premium
list was circulated and $135O0 in
cash was secured. This premium will
be divided between the men who
bring in the first and second bales
of cotton. The largest jart of the
premium went to the negro who sold
the bale yesterday. This makes his
bale OF cotton bring him a neat
sum OF money. Aside from the cash
prize he was also given a sack OF
flour. There will be a few more
bales OF cotton brought in during the
next Few days. Cotton that was plant
ed early has been damaged by the
drouth and will open a few day
earlier than the cotton that has not
been damaged. The cotton crop in
this section is very good and with
few more days OF favorable weather
bumper crop is assured. It is es-
timated by those who have looked
over the crop in this section that at
least twenty-five thousand bales viii
Re sold in Ardmore this season, and
with the increased acreage and the
present market prices this years
crop will bring more money to the
farmers than any crop for many
years. The business men are pleased
with the outlook for a good bust
ness this fall and are buying large
stocks of goods for the fall and
winter trade.

gan work today macadamizing Third
avenue from Caddo street to the rail
road tracks. This avenue from Cad
do to Washington was macadamized
more than year past and the work
is entirely satisfactory and Is the
next thing in quality to the asphalt
pavement. The city own their own
rock crushing plant and the greater
part of the work is done by the city
prisoners and at a very small cost
to the city No man in the state un-
derstands this class OF work better
than Aylmer Moore. and when he has
finished a piece OF work every person
in the city knows that 1t has been
well done. A look at the streets in
the city now outside of the paved dis
tricts and a comparison of what they
were when Mr.. Moore was placed in
charge OF the work will show what
improvements have been made. There
is probably not a city in the state
with better streets than Ardmore, and
