The Dallas council recently threat
ened to revoke the franchise of the
1ri State Utilities Co, because of the
poor electric service furnished the

much better service in the very near
future.

the worst floods they have eyer had
there. A large number of the smaller

loss Of life end property damage from
the flood waters.

GAS TAX GOES INTO EFFECT JULY |

After the first day Of July gas will
pay part Of the expenses of road
maintenance in this state. A straight
tax Of a cent gallon will be charged
to every company shipping gasoline
into the state.
This of course will be passed on to
the consumer at an increased price,
but if the purchaser of gas wants 1t
for some other purpose than that of
burning up the roads," he has a
right to the rebate Of one cent per
gallon excess by the filing of the
proper affidavit and application with
the state auditor. This provision was
placed in the law on the plea that
operators of tractors used thousands
Of gallons of gas on the farm and
should not be compelled to pay the
cent a gallon additional tax. To clear
these cases the rebate plan was adopt
ed, and while it was meant to cover
the tractor owners, it applies to any
purchaser of gasoline for other than
use on the highways.
Just how attractive it will be to the
purchaser of five gallons or less to
send in an affidavit and application
for rebate Of one cent gallon on
the amount of his purchase remains
to be seen, and just how much de-
mand will be made is a subject for
speculation by the state auditors de-
partment which is under the law re.
quired to handle the collection and
rebating of such tax.

] do not lie awake o. nights, until
the clammy dawn, In terror lest my
sacred rights should be infringed upon.
My neighbors are pleasant lot, their
conduct always good, and no ones
slugged and no ones shot In all our
neighborhood. Each one assumes the
other gents are fair and decent scouts
and so no cne his rights lament or for
reprisals chants. Year after year we
go our way, and never have row;
and ! lend Smith bale Of hay, and
he lends me his COW. And / could
change this atmosphere of peace and
its delights, and make discordant
things appear, If jealous Of my rights.
For Johnson's hens at times arrive
and scratch up all my green's; but bet
ter have our concord thrive than raise
crop of green's. And Bildads dog
sits by my gate and bays the moon "a
while; but better lie awake till late
than miss that Bildad smile. And
Hawkins plays an alto horn that
jars things In mJ fat; but he's all
right, and l would scorn to punch his
head for that. And when | sing,
"Sweet Belle Mahone," as am prone
to do, no rocks or bricks at me are
thrown, the parlor window through.
The Others faults we all forget, and
talk of "rights" with tact, and nc
ones ever offered yet to read the riot
act.-Walt Mason.

COMPARE HIGH AND LOW PRICES OF
81 FARM PRODUCTS.

The average price received by pro-
ducers of the United States for hogs
during April fell below SO per 100
pounds for the first time since March
1915. according to a report by the
Bureau of Crop Estimates, United
States Department of Agriculture.
The average price for April reached
the low mark of $7.s6. The highest
price reached at any time was during
August, 1919, when the average was
$3.50 per 100 pounds. Prices advanc-
ed more or less steadily from 1916 to
1919, then took a rather rapid drop
during the latter part of 1919. Dur
ing 1920 the average price for each
month was between sl3 and sl4 until
December, when 1t dropped to about
Sll.
The price which producers received
for cotton seed reached the lowest
mark in April since November, 1914
when it was sl4.0I per ton. The aver
age price for last April was sl7. % per
ton, as compared to the peak price Of
S72.65 in November, 1919. The low
price In lal4 was the result Of the big
crop produced that year, which am
olnted to Is 873. .0O2 bales.
The price of wool In April was be-
low Is cents. which Is the lowest since
May, 1912. In March and April 1918,
the average price of wool was 80 cents
pound.

WHEN YOU ARE HARD UP

You're not hard up when your purse
is fat
And your trousers frayed like an old
door mat:
You're not hard up when your bills
fall due
And you haven't dollar to see you
through;
You're not hard up until you see the
day
That you haven't cheerful word to
say.
You re not hard up when your coin is
gone
And you whistle tune as you jour
ney on;
You may walk the streets while 9TH
ers ride
And your pockets have naught but
your hands inside;
That's not being broke, you may de.
pend
For you're not hard up while you
have a friend.
But you are hard up and in sorry
way
If you haven't cheerful word to say;
If nothing on earth appeals to you
And you can't see the charm In the
skies of blue;
And YOU are hard up II you've reach
ed the end
And now you can say in truth that
you have no friend.
In dollars and cents don't count your
wealth,
But sum it up in good friends and
health,
In the chance to give not material
things
But the gladneSs Of your smile and
CHEEKY word brings.
IL you haven't soul to love or care,
You are hard up-though a million
aire.-Ex.
