CONDEMNED HARVEY BUiLDING

The city council In sessions Tuesday
night unanimously voted to condemn
the Harvey frame building on Third
Avenue between the News office and
Perkins Brothers Store. and the city
attorney was instructed to take the
necessary steps to have the shack re-
moved The building is the worst
fire trap in the city, and aside from
that is menace to the public as the
heavy false front is likely to fall and
kill somebody any minute. IL should
have been condemned years ago, for
that matter. Every business adjac-
ent to the building pays a penalty on
his fire insurance by reason Of the
existence of the shack there, and IT is
estimated that each year excess inshr-
ance premiums are paid amounting. to
more than the building is worth. -

This country depends primarily on
cotton for a money crop, and all OF
us, in Whatever calling, must depend
upon the success of the cotton crop,
either directly or Indirectly, and we
all come in contact with the cotton
business in one way or another. Why
should we all not know something
about cotton? How II is raised, cul-
tivated. picked, ginned. graded, and
so forth. A local cotton firm, Hynds
& Company, is soon to commence the
operation of cotton school, where
experts will instruct those in attend
anee in the manner of grading, Sc
lecting and marketing the staple. 1t
will be worth the while and expense
of any of us who do not know cotton
to get in on this course. The school
is not run for profit, but fee is
charged to recompense the promot-
ers for their actual outlay. They
figure IL that If every one in the
county understands cotton business,
the business and the public as we'll
will be better off.

Preparedness is just now the great
and overshadowing question con-
fronting America. Everybody is
talking about it, either for or against.
A few months ago monster peace
parades were held in the large cit
ies and war and preparedness were
denounced on every hand. and today
you can scarcely find the man who
can tell you the month in which one
of these parades was held. They
are forgotten. Recently monster
preparedness parade was pulled off
lin New York city, in which countless
thousands of people in all walks of
life participated, then Chicago fol
lowed suit, and quite recently Dallas
and Fort Worth have held similar pa
rades. Governors of states proclaim
ed preparedness, days and everybody
marched and shouted Are these to
be done in grand style and then for
gotten? We fear it is getting to be
the way of American people to raise
a great hallaobaloo one day and for
get all about it the next.

county in a live stock way as a re
suit of the organization of a Live
Stock Breeders Association, il the
people directly interested will avail
themselves of the opportunity. The
community cooperation idea works
out successfully in almost every line
in which it has ever been attempted,
and farming and live stock raising
is no exception. If this county did
ten times the live stock raising, the
farms would yield~better returns and
the farmer would make an additional
clear profit from his stock. A bunch
