MAMMOTH SWEET POTATO.

Buck, we hate to do 1t, but your lit
tie ten pound sweet potato will have
to 60 way back and sit down. Last
Friday we reported the finding OF one
that tipped the beam at little better
than eleven and half pounds; We
thought II a whopper and were very
gratified at being able to beat your
record. This morning the gentleman
who brought In tho first ten pound
tuber came In with one which looks
like a small keg. II was dug last
Thursday and has been thoroughly
washed OF all dirt and foreign sub.
stances and tips the scales at exactly
sixteen pounds. Buck, II Is some po'
tato, and II you don't believe our state
ment we will gladly pay your way
down here and back to your sanctum
sanctorum, provided you find our
statement incorrect. We have the pc
tato 10 show for itself. And. by the
way. this particular potato was dug
last Thursday and has perhaps dried
out at least half a pound. Mr.. c. II
McManus OF Retreat raised the pota
to and he thinks maybe there may BE-
others In the patch that will weigh
more.
Now, Buck. come clean, and tel
your readers that your little potato l;
not in II. When 1t comes to raising
stuff we don't have TO go beyond the
confines OF Grimes countN-Navasoti
Examiner.
This last potato? you dug up" Ed
must have been growing for severa
years. However. We hand II to you To-
the present. but as the potato crop o
Brazos county has not been grab
bled" yet, We may have something L
say later.

WILSON'S LATEST EPIeRAMs.

AS an author, or rather PROFOUND.
er OF epigrammatic wisdom, President
Wilson has few equals. He can Say
more in fewer words than any man be.
fore the public today. Here are few
OF his latest nuggets OF wisdom In
tabloid form:
If you are wrong, you will get 1t
knocked out Of you; and II you are
right, you will help knock it out Of
other people.
It is much more interesting to help
man than to hit him.
Being Republican or a Democrat
does not make a thing true.
Politics consists OF something that
you can almost express in the formula
get together"
When the nations Of the world come
to love America, they will obey and
follow America.
Life Is bitter only when It is lonely.

not see that they are destroying the
very thing upon which their business
depends social structure.
II you want to get your neck broken,
try to stop 1t (progress).
A free, self.governing people is q
people which does not need to be

rest so much in its thinking as in III
feeling. Outside the heart there Is nc
