VERY NARROW ESCAPE

At 4:3O last Monday morning our
citizens were aroused by the fire
whistle sad it was soon apparent that
the blaze was in the King apartment
It the corner Of Blake a,d NinGA. The
volunteer fire dspastnsat responded
promptly and did exeslleat wsrk snd
thss protected tAs building from tatal
destruction altAossA searesly snoegh
was lsft to make repain Psaetical.
Only one Of ths three apartnen,
,was occupied, tie tenants being Mr..
AID Mr.. e. T. Sherman a.a their two
little children. Ths fire started il. the
second stsry .ear tie ridge Of the roof
and apparently where the wires enter
the building and this gives rise to the
rumor that the blaze was due to defec.
tive wiring. However, another theory
pointing to incendiarism grows out If
the fact that early in the evening Mr..
Sherman chased two suspicious looking
Characters away from the premises.
What the fellows were doing OF in
tending to do he does not know but
-as he did not like the looks Of the
fellows he asked them to move on and
was obliged, just before retiring, 70
repeat his orders, apparently to the
same fellows who were doubtless prowl-
ing around for no good purpose.
The fire was first discovered by DR..
o. l. Mccartney who was sleepins on
the porch very near the King property.
Ms. Mccartney in drowsy condition
made . remark about the rain aAd her

Now, Mr.. Man, if you really de-
sire to put an end to war, Wen
tell you how it can be done and
give you a chance to prove your
sincerity. War may be stopped
by stopping the system of private
ownership and operation of the
means of wealth and substituting
a system that will operate for the
benefit of the people at large.
This would remove the artificial
conflict!of private interests which
spring from the greed for private
profits, and is the only way to end
all wars. Judge.

There is no escaping the market
problem and the highest development
Of agriculture will not be attained
until it is solved, for a market
is as necessary for the producer
as land on which to grow his crop.
Governmental and educational insti-
tutions have spent $3.50, O00,0 900 in the
United States during the past ten
years for improving soil production
and improving seeds and plants. but
very little attention and less money
has been given to the marketing side
of agriculture.
The problem is monumental one
and one which will never be solved
until it gets within the grasp Of a
gigantic organization where master
minds can concentrate the combined
experience and wisdom of the age
upon it. 1t is problem which the
farmers, merchants, bankers, editors
and statesmen must unite in solving.
The Farmers Union stands for all
there is in farming from the most
scientific methods of seed selection to
the most systematic and profitable
plans of marketing, but does not be-
lieve in promoting one to the neglect
of the other. We consider the work
of farm demonstrators valuable and
we ask that governmental and com
mercial agencies seeking to help us,
continue to give US their assistance
and advice, but we believe that their
influence should be extended to the
marketing side of our farm problems
also.
We cannot hope to develop manu-.
featuring by over-production of the
factory; we cannot build up mercan.
tile enterprises by the merchants load,
ing their shelves with surplus goods
and no more can we develop agricul.
ture by Cutting the market with a
surplus of products.

AS fast as territory is gained
by the allies in the war zone, it is
said the man with the hoe follows
the man with the gun and puts it

of peace and industry closely fol-

and the green fields soon appear
to cover the ground that was
soaked with human blood and
torn with shot and shell.

KNOW THY COUNTRY
III--Telegrdph and Telephone

Our transportation facilities are the
most perfect product of this great COM
mercial age and the telegraph and tel
ephone systems of this nation crown
the industrial achievements of the
whole world. These twin messengers
of modern civilization, born in the
skies, stand today the most faithful and
efficient public servants that ever
toiled for the human race.
They are of American nativity and
while warm from the mind of the in
Yentive genius have, under American
supervision, spun a network Of wires
across the earth and under the seas.
Telegraphy, in its early youth, mas
tered the known world and the tele-
phone has already conquered the
earth's surface, and now stands at the
seashore ready to leap across the
ocean.
No industry in the history OF the
world has ever made such rapid strides
in development and usefulness, and
none Has ever SACA lON a AhOAO pOhcIlul
influence upon the civilization of it's
day than the Telegraph and Telephone.
Their achievement demonstrates the
supremacy of two distinct types of
American genius-invention and organ
ization.
The industry was peculiarly FORUM
ate in having powerful inventive intel
lect at its source and tremendous
minds to direct its organization and
growth 1t is the most perfect fruit
of the tree of American industry and
when compared with its European con-
temporaries, it thrills every patriotic
American with pride.
Ambitious youth can find no more in

little to say or do with fixing the
price on what he buys or sells.

| of the giant intellects that constructed
this marvellous industry and a journey
along the pathway of its development,
Illuminated at every mile-post of its

A brief statistical review of the in

The telephone service of the United

and its rates are the cheapest of the
telephone systems of the world.
We are the greatest takers on earth.
We send go per cent of our communi.
cations over the telephone. The world
has about 100000 telephones and of
this number the United States has ap-
proximately $4,000, Europe 1920. 900
and other countries 100000. Accord
ing to the latest world telephone CEN
sus, the total telephone investment is
$1,906, 100000 and of this amount 81.
100000 was credited to the Uaited
States, s636,OOO,OOO in Europe and
s175,OOO,000 in other countries. The
annual telephone conversations total
24,600, 100000 divided as follows: Unit
ed States 15,60O,O 100000; Europe $780,
100000, and other countries 100000

follows: United States 2O,24S, 900. Eu-

2,679,0O0. About six per cent of
the worlds population and sixty-one

ADVISE FROM
THOSE who KNOW

Read what those who know say
of the young mans opportunity
with cotton grading and CHASING
properly mastered. The wealth
and independence of the South is
in its cotton. Let every young
man better prepare to get the
benefit of this independence and
wealth.
Tyler, Texas, May 6, 1915.
Tyler Commercial College,
Cotton Chasing Department,
Tyler, Texas.
Gentlemen
had the pleasure of visiting
your cotton CHASING class and OBJ
served the work you we're doing.
Having had several years of eX-
perlence in the cotton business,
both as buyer and seller, l be-
lieve | am somewhat a judge, and
in my opinion YOU have a very
complete department. You have
every facility to intelligently in
struct in the work, and no young
man can find more opportune
time and a more practical place
than in your institution.
Expressing my opinion further,
| believe this department is more
practical and far reaching in its
effects than any other department
of your great school, and every
Young man owes it to himself to
take advantage of the opportunity
to thoroughly equip himself along
this line.
Yours very truly,
RODt. Allen.
Mr.. S. Bruck, manager of the
large Mayer & Schmidt depart
ment store, remarked to the
president of the Tyler CONNER
cial College: In putting in you"
cotton grading and CHASING de-
partment you are doing one of
the greatest things for this coun-
try that could have been done"

the CHASING of cotton at the A.
& NJ. College of Texas, finishing
the work in theearly part of 1914.

course of instruction is much
more complete, and in my opin-
ion, covers all the ground thor
B. f. Bell Jr.
Tyler Commercial College,
Tyler, Texas.
Gentlemen
We wish to congrate your
school upon installing, as a part
Of the different lines of business
by YOU, the subject of Cot
ton Grading and the keeping of
correct cotton records.
A young man entering any
class of business in the South is
bound to come in contact, direct
ly or indirectly, with the problem
Of handling cotton, and if he is
familiar with the handling of the
staple, keeping proper records
and is able to correctly grade this
product it will certainly make him
more efficient and make his ser
vice more valuable to his employ
FL.
As distinct line of business
n which to engage, it is the
Judgment that there is
10 more promising field of activ-
ty open to the young man of to-
lay. There is probably a great
n scarcity of well equipped COM
)etent cotton graders than in
most any other line of business
n the South. The losses sus-
aimed by the cotton farmer and |
~ merchants who handle cotton
n the course of their business is |
llmost inestimable but these |
Osses in the course of time can
,e practically eliminated and this
amount saved by such |
