TEXAS Poems.

The Fort Worth Record takes the
position that the Ubiquitous fee system
in Texas Is responsible for Texas
peonage, II In fact a condition Of peon'
age does exist In this state. The Rec
ord says:
Chattel slavery was abolished more
than so years ago. Industrial slavery
was not abolished. Seagoville is a
small town in Dallas county. The
Herald is a Seagoville publication.
This comment is reproduced from the
Herald:
United States District Judge Ed.
ward r. Meek. In delivering his
charge to the federal grand jury this
week, declared that peonage existed
in the country and that he wanted 1t

GREAT DAY COMING.

Still, It Is well to remember that
debt is relentless. Better ten acres
paid for than 100 acres on credit. Gov
eminent aid might prove hurtful In
the long run.-Waco Times-Herald.
Right; as is not infrequently the
case with you. But let us not ignore
the fact that 100 acres on credit may
be better than nothing at all. 1t is
the firm conviction Of many sound
thinkers that the farm loan banks
will work q revolution in American
agriculture. They will put the means
Of home ownership within the reach
of practically every good farmer
State Press does not exaggerate when
he says he expects to see this blessed
black land country Of Texas become
. region Of small farms owned by
those who cultivate them. With their
natural fertility, their nearness to In.
exhaustible markets. their adaptable.
ity to diversified farming. these prai-
ries will attract and hold real farm.
ers, men who know how to maintain
their fertility and make them blossom
as they heretofore have never bios.
somed. The same will be truepro-
portionately, OF the less valuable and
less populous areas OF this state and
others. When the time comes. as II
soon will, that an industrious tenant
farmer can buy 40 or so or 60 acres
Of land by paying fourth Of the pur.
chase price in cash and securing the
remainder with first and second
mortgage spread over 10. 20 or AZ
years. with low interest, the smart
ones will not be slow to avail them
selves OF the chance. The present
owners. many Of whom are netting
not more than per cent interest on
their lands at market prices, will be
equally glad TO change their invest
ment from land to farm bank bonds
offering equal or superior security
and equal or superior income. Is II
not reasonable? Is II not probable?-
State Press.
II Is not reasonable. neither Is II
probable. The farm loan banks will
never be the means OF tenant farmers
buying up the black land farms Of
North Texas. In the. first place. the
blessed black lands" State Press
speaks OF. are worth $3.50 an acre and
a 60-acre farm would represent $4,000
For renter to buy such farm and

be little short Of miracle from

A new and very handsome devel-
opment Of the tunic appears In this
unusual dress Of gray satin, trimmed
with bands Of sealskin. If ever any
frock was designed, versatile enough
to play q greater number of roles in
the days drama, the memory of the
fashion writer fails to recall 1t. Here
Is a costume, with a detachable collar
Of fur, which needs only a touch to
make it quite in place on the street,
at dinner, at almost any place that the
rounds of the day will carry its wearer.
The tunic and over-bodice in one
look like n of those slip-over affairs
that appear in dresses and blouses and
sweaters of approved style. In reality
1t fastens at the left side, with snap
fasteners under a knot Of satin-cov-
cred cord at the waistline. The de-
sign is so simple as to hardly need
description, which is one sure sign
that it is the product of a genius. Who
ever is to be credited with it welded
