\ FORMER WAHNH ltHIAN
ENDORSES "BIl \ BALE" PLAN

w L. Ilipp OF this city has re
ceiyed the following letter from
Osce Goodwin, former Waxa-
hachie citizen, who is in Battle
Greek, Michigan. for his health;
Battle Greek, Michigan, Sept. 10.
Dear Will: Am glad to note the
move on foot to assist the farmer,
Everybody buy a bale" Ii this is
properly and honestly carried out it
will be of great benefit to the farm
er and therefore TO everybody else
The purchaser should be REQUIRED to
hold his bale until it was seen that
the farmer is going to reduce his
next years acreage and until trade
becomes normal again. Every farm
err should also agree 10 put aside a
bale to be held in like manner.
None of this VIII be a hardship
on the farmer In fact, believe in
the end will materially help him
On account of conditions all other
crops are going to demand a good
price, and when trade becomes
normal cotton will also bring a
good price. If Waxahachie goes
into this and prepares proper ware
houses, all of which I leave to Won
you will please buy from some
farmer friend of mine who needs to
sell bale and hold recent for my
account. Am glad to say am still
improving. | am, yours truly.

+ While the sun beats down with the
golden ardor Of midsummer, there is
still a suggestion of autumn in the
glowing days Of August. The grass
has grown browner across the hill
tops, the first dry leaves are falling.
SE Over the green of oaks and naples
there steals a soft purple haze. Here
and there by the dusty roadsides a
Sscarleta leaf burns like ruddy flame
Ripening fruit makes fragrant or
of grain fields creeps on to the even
lowed stalks where the hollyhocks
bloomed and the asters and golden
glow are rioting in, their stead. II
"A scent of half dead clover comes
from the sturdy second growth where
bees delve droningly, and white and
gold butterflies idle gaily about
Starry daisies sprinkle the meadows
and lavender thistles and."brown-eset
Susans.'' r:
Most of the birds are songless
Fat and lazy and silent, they haunt
the coolest shadows, awaiting the
mysterious call to southern chimes.
There's an eery note in the west
wind that carries an unaccountable
hint of pathos as II thousands Of
fragile flower ghosts had freightet
its passing breath. Jr
Crisp, green acorns litter tht
driveway, the little brown brook II
the hollow is only a trucking thread
Out Of field and garden, from or
chard and meadow and woodland
comes the voiceless summons to an
other season OF death. But with i
is the old reinsurance of a COLDER
] harvest of wealth.
Instead of buds there's the seed
time, the fruitage, the precious full
fillment, and q sound like the crool
of Ia lullabye creeps out Of the rows
OF corn. Rose Henderson In Registe

ROOSEVELT AND Il I'll e. PANAMA
s$s CANAL II

Every American 3 should be. and
most Of them are deVoutly thankful
that Roosevelt IS not now the pres
sident Of the United States; but, while
that as true, every American should
be, and most Of them are j quite
thankful that Roosevelt was president
during the negotiations which pre-
.ceeded the commencement, by this
country, !. Of the work Of completing
the Panama Canal In an arbitrary
and questionable manner Roosevelt
took the canal, while the unpatri-
3otic and mercenary obstructionists
were debating their schemes for
sblackmail or delay.
No other president this country
has ever had would have taken the
Panama Canal as Roosevelt did,
but he did not take it day too soon
At this time, when the world is be-
ing deluged by a cataclysm OF war,
who is there that does not rejoice
over the uniting of the two great
oceans at Panama? 3,4
