German militarism, with captains
knots on his shoulders and an iron
cross on his chest, was included in a
bag of prisoners that some American
soldiers made just before the armis-

say the least, and his mood intensified
as he was marched back to the intel

He had not heard the questioning
officer speak more than five words Of
German before he burst into the con-
versation.

Pergamum (Pergamos or Pergamon)
was the ancient capital of Iysia. in
Asia Minor. 1t was about three miles
north of the Caucus river and fifteen
or twenty miles from the Aegean sea.
Under the Greek rule of AttaIus i
t24l-l97 b. Co. it became not only a
powerful city but also the center of
the artistic and literary life of Asia.
Attalus built many wonderful
temples, affairs and monuments that
attracted the attention of the entire
world. His son Eumenes III Q9T-I59
.. Cd carried on the policy of his fa-
ther. He founded the famous Perga
mum library, which coni%ned 100000
volumes. This library was later re-
moved 70 Egypt by Antony and pre-
saented by him to Cleopatra.
Attalus III bequeathed his treasures
and the kingdom of which Pergamum
was the capital TO Rome, and so. at
his death, in 133 b. c., it became a
Roman province. This was the first
Roman province on Asiatic soil.
Carl Human, civil engineer, who
had Travelled in Asia Minor, induced
the Berlin museum to fit out an expe-
ditIon to eXcavate for the hidden
treasures of ancient Pergamum. In
1886, at the close of the third cam
paign, Human and a friend named
Come unearthed the great altar and
the site of the library. Subsequent
expeditions uncovered many treasures.
The great altar was shipped, piece
by piece, to Berlin and regretted in
the Kaiser Friedrich museum. A few
parts of it are in Constantinople.
However. the central and main por-
ton of Satan's throne is in Berlin.
With the throne of Satan in Berlin
1t is not difficult to understand the
ambitions and actions of the
German government.

try and make crop without any
work except planting the seed.
There has never been a year in
the history of the Plains country
when prospects for bumper crop
were better, and the section around
Slaton has never known an entire
crop failure.
We are giving these facts, not as a
reflection on Mr.. Humphreys, but
simply to keep the record straight,
because Knockers and pessimists have
no place in this progressive South
Plains country, and it is better that
they 90 elsewhere TO make their per-
manent homes latonite.
The above is a fair sample of the
knocks that this country receives. il
is usually the fellow that does not
try that blames the country for fail
ures.
We asked farmer few days ago
how his crop was looking and he said
il was looking fine. We asked II the
worms had bothered his cotton and
he said he had not had worm in his
cotton that he knew of and added: ut
is only those who do not keep their
cotton clean that suffered from the
ravages Of the worm" This is posi-
bly, the trouble with the man that
fled to the Red River county.
A fair honest-to-goodness chance is
all this country needs to put il over
the top. The haphazard farmer will
not make good here any more than in
any other country. but even that
tribe does better here than most 9TH
or places. because our soil Is new and
rich. and Is not infested with such
poisonous weeds and grasses as many

GOES BACK TO OLD
RED RIVER KNOCKING

G. l.. Humphreys, who moved from
this county to Lubbock County the
first Of the year has returned TO the
Lone Star community. Mr.. Hum
phreys has been farming in the West
and prospects were favorable until
about two weeks ago when the army
worm invaded his cotton crop and
completely devastated 80 acres of
cotton. In addition TO the havoc
wrought by the worms, grass hoppers
made an invasion Of his maize crop.
and after careful survey of the
premises Mr.. Humphreys loaded his
effects and headed for old Red River
County He landed last week in the
neighborhood from whence he jour
neyed early in the year, bought a
crop from a native and is happily
pursuing the life Of a contented Red
River county farmer. knowing that
he will be rewarded according to the
efforts he puts forth in making a
crop Bogata News.
Statement Of His Landlord.
The above item was taken from a
recent issue Of the Bogata News, and
is misleading for several reasons.
Mr. Humphreys was a tenant on
the farm Of W. R. Wilson Of this city,
and Mr. Wilson states that he lost
about thirty-five acres Of cotton by
army worms, but that no other man
on his large farm. nor any Of his
neighbors, suffered any from these
worms where the crops were kept
clean. In fact. Mr. Wilson states that
army worms never appear where the
fields are kept free from weeds.
w. r. Wilson came here from
Grayson County, and owned AIT acres
Of black land in that county and Fan
min. He says that he sold every acre
Of IL and has the same money invested
in about 1900 acres Of land here.
most Of which adjoins the city limits
Of Slaton. and that in all his exper-
ience in farming that he much pre-
fers this alnd. as on an average il
will produce more with less effort,
and the first cost IS nothing TO com
pare with the. black land
When Mr. Humphreys homesick-
ness could be endured no longer Mr.,
Wilson bought the crop that he claims
was dandy good prospect for starva-
ton. had il worked out, and stated
that he would not take one thousand
dollars profit for Il today, not includ-
ING the stock and tools that he bought
from Mr. Humphreys. So you can
imagine how contented real farmer
can be in this beautiful plains coun-
try II he will put little effort in his
crop instead Of trying to burn up all
the gasoline in the country in his tin
henry. People who come here to
farm should arrange their pleasure
and sightseeing trips during the
months when they are not needed in
the fields And in the spring months
when the weeds are growing they
should devote at least a small portion
of their time to their crops. IL is a
mistaken idea that you can come
