Name Your Farm.

Farmers in this vicinity should real
ize the value of naming their farms.
Try it. farmers, and you'll be sur
prised at the prestige it will bring you.
This is especially true if you have
stationary printed bearing the FARMS
name, and if every member of the
family uses it for their correspondence.
In case you can think of no suitable
name, and would like a little help,
let us know and We'll be glad to sug-
gest some names. Just give US des-
cription of the farm and We'll give
you your choice of several names that
might be suitable.
Let us print your letterheads, en-
velopes, statements, business cards,
and any other printing you may need.

nent high rank upon any officers, other
than that which is already provided
for in our regular army, let US have a
report of the stewardship of such Off
GERS. Let US first know whether or not
they are worthy of such honors in the
way of lifelong promotions. The sons
of the fathers and mothers must make
up the next army, and it is but fair
that these same fathers and mothers
should know the mental calibre and
qualifications of the officers who are
to be placed in supreme command of
their offspring.

A good old friend of ours CROPPED his
way into the Office yesterday, planked
himself down in our best chair, stared
fixedly and mournfully into space for
half an hour, then showed his fist into
his pocket, drew out shining silver
dollar, reverently kissed it, handed it
to us with averted eyes, dashed away
the tears, and staggered blindly from
the shop. Now he only owes US for
two years.

China strenuously objects to having
a goodly slice of her territory turned
over to the Japs. And, by the same

if the peace conference were to propose
handing over one of our richest states

LENINE LOSING NERVE
BoIshevik Premier Said to Have
Urged Surrender.
Present Government In Russia Is Re-
ported to Be Growing Steadily
Weaker.

Paris, Jan 22.-Authentic informa
ton received here concerning recent
developments in Russia indicates that
the strength and prestige of the Boil.
shevik government at home has weak.
ened somewhat in the last few months,
although Premier Lenine and his asso-
ciates have succeeded in strengthen.
ing their armies and gaining consider.
able military success in Western Rus
sia.
Premier Lenine, apprehensive of po-
litical developments and the possibil.
ity of vigorous Allied Intervention, is
reported to have proposed to the ex.
ecutive committee of the Soviet con
gress that the Bolsheyiki surrender.
Trotzky, Karl Radek and Foreign Min
lister Tchitcheriu opposed the proposal
vigorously. However, Lenines pro-
posal was defeated by a majority of
only IL votes out of 200 cast.
The prospect of foreign interven-
tion, it Is said. has brought to the Boil
who fear that intervention might re-
suit in counter revolution and res.
toration of the monarchy. The Boil
shevik army is estimated to number
100000 men. 1t is said to be we'll
equipped and under complete control
of its leaders. The high pay offered
by the Bolsheviki, who also control
the food supplies, has enabled the
leaders to maintain discipline and to
attract recruits.

Hillsboro, Tex, Jan. 22.-Bragg
Williams, a negro, murderer of Mrs.
George Wells and her infant son, was
taken from officers here and burned
at stake on the public square by a
mob.
Williams, who was convicted of the
double murder here last week, in a
courtroom guarded by state rangers to
prevent violence, was taken to Dallas
for safe keeping, pending sentence.
He was returned here and sentenced
to hang Feb. %. He was placed in
Jail following passing of sentence.
A mob quietly formed, rushed the
Jail, battered in the doors and seized
Williams. He was quickly carried to
the square and burned.
Mrs. Wells and child were murdered
at Itasca, small community in this
county, in December.

CONSIDERS FOUR
NATIONS UNFIT
Lord Robert Cecil Explains His
Plan of Forming League
of Nations.
REFORMS ARE NEEDED
Germany, Austria, Turkey and 6ul-
garia Should Not Be Admitted
Until They Are Proven
Trustworthy.

Paris, Jan. 22.-The Central powers. |
Germany, Austria, Turkey and But
garia, cannot be admitted to the league |
of nations at present, but should bc
allowed to join when the league Is
satisfied they are entitled to be ranked
among trustworthy nations.
This is the opinion expressed by
Lord Robert Cecil, who has just turned
over to the printer the British plan for
the league of nations which will be
submitted to the peace congress.
Lord Robert made this statement:
"The league should be all-embracing
for all trustworthy nations, since 1t
is for the good of humanity" he said.
Defines Trustworthiness.
Asked for a definition of trust
worthy" Lord Robert replied that in
the case of Germany one criterion
would be in the establishment of
government free from military domi-
nance. This would be guarantee Of
trustworthiness. 1t was obvious, he
pointed out, that Germany could not
be admitted until she had brought or
der out of the present chaos and the
complexion of the new government
was seen.
In Austria the situation was quite
different from that in Germany and
very difficult, since Austria has been
split up by revolution, while Germany
thus far has held together, continued
Lord Robert, and it appeared probable
that number of separate states would
develop from the Austrian empire.
Here. as in the case OF Germany"
he said. stable and trustworthy gov
ernments must be established. But
there is no reason why various states
should not come in when they show
themselves fitted to do so, irrespec-
tive of the rest"
Bohemia Shows Promise.
In this connection he pointed ont
that Bohemia showed more signs of
being settled than the other sections
of Austria
AS to Turkey, 1t was impossible to
make prediction.
I'VE do not know what Turkey win
be-" explained Lord Robert. I'VE
must await the territorial settlement
to be made by the peace congress-
