SOCIALISTS GIVE
up Their FAITH
IN SHORT ORDER


St. Louisville Dispatch. Sept.
! 81, 1919: "Desdemona, Tex. = For
many years the hotbed of Socialism in
Texas was In Eastland County, with
Hog Town now called Desdemona, as
the storm center of agitators who
preached the doctrine of equtl distrib-
ution Of wealth among all the people.
Now these very same men, who cast
their votes for Eugene Debs for Pres
ident, and prior to becoming Socialists,
were pioneer members of the Populist
party, are simply reeking with wealth
not imaginary prosperity but real
coin-oodles of it. Incidently, 1t may
be mentioned that not one of them is
saving a word about dividing up his
fortune with the 'downtrodden poor
"oil caused the transformation
Strange to say, the owners Of virtual
" all the farms that now comprise the
heart of Desdemona oil field were So
cialists. Many Of them belonged to
the more rabid faction. One OF the
most radical was the editor and pub
Usher Of the Rebel, which was the
recognized organ of the party In Tex
as.
The Rebel Suppressed
Postmaster General Albert Burle-
son found it necessary to suppress the
Rebel early in the war because of Its
alleged unpatriotic utterances. Hickey
was not only a Socialist in his writ
ings, but he acted and looked the part
He became the owner of a piece OF
land near Desdemona. 1t was worth
little as a farm Then came the oil
boom. Hickey has risen from almost
poverty to millionaire in the last eight
months. No one hears him talking
Socialism any more.
I'm former years one of the great
delights of the Socialists OF the HOG
town community and other parts OF
Eastland County was to gather In an
nnal encampment at Ellison Springs
They made It the occasion of solving
al 1.-The problems of the country and
digging hard into the ribs Of the cap
italistIc class At these encampments
Hickey was wont to crate long and
loudly on economic questions from the
standpoint of the radicals. From the
encampment the Socialist farmers and
business men with their wives and
children would travel back to their
homes in canvas-covered wagons to
take up the dull routing Of work that
promised them no remuneration be-
yond bare living.
100 Now Are MllliOnaires
More than 100 OF these men, who
only a year ago were preaching So
cialism and struggling to make both
ends meet, are now milllonaires; sew
eral of them are worth in actual cash
$40 900 900 to $25,0OO,O0O each all
made out of oil leases and petroleum
production. Another 500 Socialists of
Eastland and Stephens counties are
already we'll along toward the million
mark.
"As a result of this wealth, or per-
haps because they are too busy piling
up more, there will be no Socialist
encampment at Ellison Springs this
year. If by any chance these men
should get together, 1t would be con-
rention of more millionaires than ever
before assembled at one time in Tex
IA"

Marietta sufficient funds to make itself independent of

No Lazy Mans Job

IN ITCH DIGGING is no lazy mans job not if the
IL ditch is dug by steam dredge, for to accomplish
results with dredge you must keep everasngy at it.
The cultivation of rich drained land no lazy mans
job either for fertile soil is bound produce something
and not planted in corn, other crop of value it will
bring abundance of weeds and vines of no value
Did look into the rich garden of lazy man and
see the wilderness of rank weeds?
AS you sow so shall you reap and if you fail to plant
something of value your crop will be failure Within
our own experience have many fields of with
the uxurant stalks growing the inner slope of
the CANAL with not weed in sight, and only on one or
two two occasions have this valuable land grown
to weeds and bushes
Years ago in the south saw field of pure white
sand planted in Under it evidently had been placed
just enough fertilizer make the come up and grow
about waist high and then it turned yellow and died
Not one weed not sprg of grass could be any
where for none would grow there and at the moment
the thought occurred to u.s. "What ideal farm for
lazy mani"
The digging of the ditch, the clearing of the land the
planting of the seed and cultivation of the crop and the
gathering of the harvest all work for the Industrious
and not the lazy you know yourself to be lazy
and are going to remain so, you will look for sand field

FARMING METHODS
ADVANCE TWENTY
YEARS DURING WAR

During the past two years the me-
thods of production and conservation
employed by the farmers Of this
country have advanced 20 years be-
yond what they would have been dur
ing peace times, says G. I. Christie,
Assistant Secretary of Agriculture.
Prior to 1914 and even up to the de-
claration of war by the United States
there were farmers in every COM
munity who were not interested in
county agents, farmers Institutes,
the agricultural colleges, or the I'm
tied States Department of Agricul-
ture. But when war was declared
and Uncle Sam asked the farmers to
grow more foodstuffs Of every kind,
those who had before assumed an at
titude of Indifference responded to
the call. Throughout the Nation
these farmers, with spirit of patri-
otism and an additional inducement
of fair prices and assurance Of rea-
sonable compensation for their ex-
penditures, called upon the Federal
department and other agencies that
could give them information. The at
titude as we'll as the spirit Of the
farmers changed from peace-time to
wartime farming.
