erything Is in order around the

a pride behind the whole thing
and that the occupants OF the

confusion of rubbish of various
kinds, tbs back alley is full OF

able class of junk. 1t is a dis

HOMES CAMPING PLACES.

HOMES -CAMPlNG PLhCES.
A citizen of Jacksboro was
rather riled up at what the News
said about Jacksboro in last
weeks issue of the News. He ac-
knowledged that it was the truth
but was offended. The News
makes no statement with intent
of offending or hurting any ones
feelings, and if there was no
chance of doing any good we
would never make these state
ments, but they do bring results.
This citizen, instead of becoming
offended should get busy and rec
tify the matter so that what the
News said will not be true any
longer and he could rectify it.
The editor in his talk on the Rural
Home at various places in county
has made the statement that
many of our Jack county homes
are not homes at all but merely
camping places. This statement
has offended some, and they have
taken a great deal of time and
trouble to go about talking about
US, and abusing us. If they had
spent that time in fixing up their
homes they would not look so
much like camping places. 90
Jacksboro News.
Circumstances often alter
cases. However there is not
much excuse, if any at all for
ones abode to look like a camp
ing place. Be it ever so humble.
the premises might be kept in a
tidy condition. Be the home
ever 80 small, it might have the
appearance OF a home, in as
much as the windows might be
kept clean. The yard can be
kept free from the many differ
ent articles of rubbish that will
accumulate by neglecting to keep
it cleared away. The weeds can
be kept cut down. raked to-
gether and burned. Home
should be made as pleasant
as the surroundings will
permit. One should not take
poverty for an excuse to be
dirty. 1t takes but little to keep
a household clean with a supply
of soap and water. 1t takes only
short time each day to keep the
premises in a presentable con-
dition. We know of homes that
are not furnished as exquisitely
as they might be under other
circumstances, but the premises
are models of cleanliness. Ev-

AS late as October kale may
be planted and those who have
eaten this somewhat sturdy

know that on a cold winters
day kale soup is not TO be de-

wants to take the trouble that
celery entails. Nor is it too late

kind of work. Any neglect of
the fence will certainly lead to
great loss. 1t will not only re-
suit in loss and great damage to
the crop but will be the means
of running the stock and making
out of them confirmed fence
breakers, and, in the end. a
nuisance on the farm. The old
adage, "A stitch in time saves

WHY NOT A FALL GARDEN?
Abundant rains that have
fallen this month in many parts
of Texas make the opportunity
for fall garden one which our
Live-at-Home League need not
be deprived the privilege of
fresh vegetables until frost
comes on that account.
OF course nearly everyone will
have a patch of turnips and next
to the turnip in popularity is the
Irish potato for a fall crop. But
these are only two crops which
il is not too late to plant yet and
make a yield.
Others are bush beans. late
