Perry Morris Advances sound Ideas
A few suggestions to the citizens Of
scurry- County:
It is clear to my mind, and nc
doubt to yours as we'll, that the time
has come in West Texas that a
change in our tactics is needful
We are, no doubt, convinced that
this Is a drouthy country and that
the DRY farming system" as practic-
ed here is a failure.
The great question is what changes
can we make that could be done with
a limited outlay of capital and would
be worth anything after they are
made?
Well, first. let every farmer that is
cutlvating land that lies rolling ter
race or throw up leyles across such
land at intervals which should be
governed by the grade of the land.
the sleeper the grade the closer to-
gether and higher the levy and vice
versa, this will hold all the water on
your land that falls on It instead OF
letting II run out into the branches
then into the creeks, rivers and on
to the gulf
Kansas Is arranging TO Dam every
draw and place where water can be
caught and held. working on the
theory that moisture attracts mols-
ture. They say that they believe they
can overcome TO great extent the
drouthy condition OF the country by
this method believe It, do you?
There are many places over this
country that dam could be placed
so as to use .he water for irrigation.
Those that are acquainted with the
w. r. Thompson farm, about two
miles south OF Snyder, and the pro-
jet OF irrlgating which Mr.. Thomp-
son has done on his farm from such
a dam this year. can get some APP
probation OF what It means to put
forth efforts along this line.
Now. ! offer these ideas for YOU TO
think on believe they are thorough
ly practical and I'm sure that every
thinking man will believe the same
thing.
Now II YOU do believe this get
busy aud show your faith by your
works

QUICK MAIL SERVICE AND
ADVERTISING FOR HOME TRADE

The Signal has been trying for two
years to get a direct mail service
from Snyder to Dunn and Ira. There
are abundant reasons why this
should be and not one reason against
II. The people at Dunn and Ira want
It and are ready to sign a petition
and do whatever else may be neces-
sary to get It and they are now say
ing that the business men I'm Snyder
could get this service II they would,
but every fellow seems to be waiting
for somebody else TO do IT,
In the meantime the people at
those towns are getting their mail
from Snyder two or three days late.
Letter mail and the Signal must take
up two days getting around to them,
whe nthey should get there on the
day of mailing out Besides this the
citizens there must walt four days
for answer to a letter that ought to
come through in one day and get the
answer back next morning.
Snyder merchants are losing valua
BILE trade by this delay in the trans
mission OF mails
The country is being flooded with
Sears Robuck catalogs andpeople are
apt to think II II takes as long to
communicate with Snyder as with Dal
las, they may as well send to Dallas;
besides this the mail order houses
are pushing their advertising matter
into the country homes while the
home merchants are waiting and halt
ing at the cost of printers ink. The
conditions are here and will have to
be met. Get quick mail service and
then send a story OF goods and prices

Fluvanna roads.
Any men or boys in Snyder who
cannot go In person should respond
by sending a dollar in their places
for each day, and you can do this
by turning the dollars over to one Of
the following named persons who
are appointed to receive same, and
hire extra teams with the money
turned in, and acknowledge receipt

COAL NEAR sLATON.

From the Slatonite.--
A coal mine yielding Ignite which
was worked 33 years ago near Sla-
ton is to be opened up on CONNER
cial basis II is hoped at an early date
by COL A. b. Robertson, owner OF the
famous V ranch on whose land the
old mine is located
The mine was worked 33 years a.
go by J. NJ Campbell, now of Miner
tal-Wells, Texas. and his two sons, c..
r. and j. H., of near futile, Oklaho-
ma, who resided on the Robertson
land for almost a year and got all
their fuel from the SLOPE" taking
out or tons in one winter for
home use.
When they left the place they fill
ed in the "slope," which had been
dug back in. the hill for a depth of
over 20 feet and exposing a high
grade vein Of coal 1Sx30 inches thick,
with the idea of some time returning
and developing the mine, and since
then the land has been passed over
hundreds of times by cowboys and
never once was the small outcrop-
pings Of coal near the surface recog-
nized.
Several months ago the Campbells
returned to the spot quietly and re-
located the scene of operations and
went back home without making
their mission known. Some time .ater
they communicated with Col Robert
son, telling him of the coal on his
land, and arrangements we're soon
made whereby I'll interested parties
should share an interest in the coal
rights.
This week the Compbells came to
Slaton and went out to the Robert
son ranch whore they took out some
Of the coal found near the surface
and burned It in a cook stove to
prove its qualities.
