Whenever Southern farmers Get

work, and when they Get to real
farming with systematic rotation
and diversifcation, they will not
plant every available acre In cotton

next year because prices are low,
And then cotton will be prollta-

crobe theory is being worked to a
sweet finish by those whose boast
ed scientific knowledge is reputed
to be so far superior to that of the
average, ordinary mortal. No doubt
many people in this great big
country of ours are actually being
scared out of their health by the
constant fear that they will some
where, sometime-in town or out
of town, in the house or out in the
public highway, in the field or in
the kitchen, at the stable or at the
store-swallow a disease-bearing
germ, microbe or bug of some sort
and straightway, or lingerinely, be
cut off from the land of the living.
Just the other night we were
very delightfully."- entertained for
several minutes by magazine ar
ticle written by a learned medical
professor of Chicago, who has just
made one of the most remarkable
and most startling discoveries of
modern science. This man has
found out that in order to preserve
the public health and safety; to
keep the world going straight and
the population in healthy growth,
all cats must be killed. Yes, cats;
that's what he said Don't permit
your children to play with cats,
says this monumental ass and CO.
jossal humbue, because cats whisk-
ers carry disease breeding germs
and microbes. Can you beat it?
Looking down to the floor we
saw our own six-year-old son strok-
ing a yellow kitten This thought
struck us; How unjust, then, must
be the Great God, if this ant from
Chicago knows what he is talking
about. The cat, we suppose, has
been with us since Noah's ark per-
formed its mission and unloaded
its cargo on dry land The injus-
tice of the thing is appalling! He
gave the rattlesnake his rattle that
we might know of his presence; He
put the scream to the panther, the
roar to the lion and the yelp to the
wolf that men might know of the
proximity of these ferocious beasts.
He gave man an instructive knowl-
edge, almost infallible, by which he
Is warned of almost every approach
ing and impending danger How
unjust, indeed, that He did not, in
His great wisdom and mercy, give
us some waning of the germs and
microbes in the whiskers of the
cat. The cat-the everyday play
thing and best pet of millions of

the Book says he loves best, The

yonder, everywhere; a germ in this
and a germ on that; even to the
germ and microbe on the whiskers
of the cat; certainly if we can sub
scribe to the whole theory of germs
our credulity is made Of elastic
and Our imagination of rubber, and
both together they can cover a null
titude of germs and microbes, fan
cied and real.
This reminds us of cartoon we
saw in publication the other day.
Seated in big, easy chair was an
old, old man. He looked like he
might have been present at the
falling of more than hundred
winters SHOWS, so white were his
head and long whiskers In one
hand he held a walking cane as
crooked as the average politician,
and which looked as if it might be
a limb from the original Charter
Oak. In the other hand he held a
newspaper which announced the
fact that on certain day all school
children must be vaccinated to pre-
vent certain germ disease. On
another day antitoxin must be ad-
ministered for another germ dis
ease. In all nine days were to be
consumed in fitting up the systems
of the children to withstand the on
slaueht of germs, This news evil
IDENTIFY amused the old man, be-
cause he was smiling as he said:
Wonder how came me here with
all these germs and creeping mi
crobes. ! went to school without
shoes and few clothes, sat in a
house without ventilation, on a hard
bench with my feet on the ground.
My doors were never screened and
| never fought the flies. grew up
with a billion germs and didn't
make their acquaintance. How
times do chanee!"
In the meantime you had better
cough pretty often and spit every
now and then to keep a germ or
microbe from getting down into
your inner works.
o
We know some farmers who could
have gotten ten cents a pound for
their cotton, but they are still hold
ing, We know plenty Of farmers who
could have gotten nine and a quarter
cents pound and nine cents a
pound, but they are still holding.
When this is written cotton is well
under eight ceLts. There was a
great cry some time ago about
holding cotton and cotton going TO
be fifteen cents pound. The hg-
ures on acreage ard production did
not justify this cry, and the Record
| Is glad it did not contribute to 1t.
This paper does not want to injure
Its friends and their families, not
even for the sake of appearing big"
and smart" for q little while. If
we had influenced one man to hold
his cotton and lose money we
should be thoroughly ashamed of
the fact.

you as much good in any other line OF
advertising as you can in this way"
In speaking OF the matter to the

hope some enterpriseing wide-awake.

not later than Sunday afternoon that
he will have a dozen or more fruit
pickers at work Monday morning In

ture without the mountains showing
in 1t would not suit our purpose, and.
therefore, will not be considered by

there is a material Improvement in

TELEPHONE COM
PANIES MERGE
Colorado and Tfi-State Or
sanizations Now Known
as Mountain States Co.

Rumors which have been prevalent
for some time with reference to the
acquiring of the Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company properties
by The Colorado Telephone Company
are confirmed by the action Of the
Board of directors of the former COM
pany at its meeting held recently.
A few days ago The Colorado Com
pany merged with its associate COM
pany to the south-The Tri-State Tel
ephone and Telegraph Company. which
has heretofore operated in Southern
New Mexico and Eastern Arizona. The
merged companies were re-christened
The Mountain States Telephone and
Telegraph Company and the capital
stock increased to $50 0,0o0. 900; and the
first act OF the new corporation is the
acquiring of The Rocky Mountain Bell
properties by purchase.
The official announcement OF the
reasons for the combination. as furn-
ished at the headquarters of The
Mountain States Company at Denver.
is as follows:
ITO those who are familiar with the
financial and operating methods OF
The American Telephone and Tele-
graph Company. the combining of the
properties Of The Colorado Telephone
Company. The Rocky Mountain Bell
Telephone Company and The Tri-
State Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany will be no surprise.
All license Bell Telephone Compan-
les are free from stock-jobbing meth
DDS and all additions to plant are
made with funds realized from the
sale OF their securities, and not from
their earnings. More than this, Sc
curities are not sold in excess of the
dCtudi ihftblcu buSiutcS
SO no element of water is permitted to
enter into such financing. Recently
The Colorado Telephone Company
reached the limit OF its capitalization
30 that re-capitalization became nee
essary to It. The Tri-State Telephone
and Telegraph Company was similar
ly situated and The Rocky Mountain
Bell Telephone Company has for sew
eral years felt the need of an entire
reorganization. What, then, more
natural than that the reorganization
take the form of q merger of the prop
critics to be capitalized on a conserva-
tive basis and at figures which will
Insure reasonable returns to investors
and equitable rates to the public.
The new corporation Is capitalized
at 35o.oo0.o0o. but less than half this
amount will be issued against the pro-
perties and an actual excess of physi-
cal property will be maintained over
the amount OF stock issued. There
Will be no preferred stock and no
bonds. and no attempt will be made
to pay dividends in excess OF what the
public might consider reasonable and
honest. This financial policy is mere
