that everyone has on their mind
the deplorable condition of the
farmers. There are many fields
now covered with water that has
backed out of creeks and rivers.
Many acres will be a total loss
others are covesed with mud Sc
they can't get in to get the corn
or cotton. There will not be an
average of more than one-eightt
of a normal crop made and saw
ed. 1t leaves Texas in a bao
condition, but there is someone
always ready to raise howl on
any question. This old world is
getting into such an uproar over
wages, high prices and profits
that we hardly know what we
are to meet. There is one class
trying to get universal peace and
another trying to demonstrate
that universal peace is just a
dream and not practical, Ano-
Their element wants to make a
tree. for-all grab policy. When
it is all stewed down we will find
they are all out for the same

become a great leader and a great
power. All nations and political
parties, labor leaders and socie-

purpose. selfishness. The great
demon of distraction, the worlds
war, has shown that conclusively.
If some smart men would get to-
gether and agree on some plan
to be formulated by which all
could be benefited, and all work
to that end. we might get bet

see by the action of our leaders,
and lawmakers they realize that
there is something to do. No one,
no party and no nation can form
ulate or put forth a plan to reach
all. The league of nations is a
very good starting point if they
will pull it's teeth and strip it of
its spurs and self egotism. This
world is too big to say to it, you
shall do as l tell you. 1t appears
to me the better plan would be
to come closer, lay selfishness
aside and try out honesty of pur-
pose awhile.
