tion. It may be that many persons
would not want the trees budded and
in that case there would be no cost
of money at all.
Then if the cost is entirely ehmi.
mated it seems that every person
could afford to own pecan trees.
The second reason must next be
dealt with-that of waiting a long
time before any harvesting is done.
There was time in this country
when there were no orchards Of
fruit The people were rovers large
ly. TNey moved almost every year
and no man would plant peach tree
because he could not himself gather
the fruit from it. After some time
men began to plant whether they
remained to gather or not. When
men awake TO the importance Of do
ing things for Others who cannot do
for themselves, wher mer try to
build estates even if these estates
are years in maturing and becoming
valuable then they will make perna-
nent Improvements and not before.
We are doing Just as the pioneers
of West Texas did. They would not
plant orchards because they were
long in maturing. We will not plant
pecans because they are long in ma.
turing. The time that 1t took a peach
to grow from the seed and yield fruit
was just as long to the pioneer then
as the time we must wait now for a
pecan tree to fruit.
The Ardmoreite has planned TO
make campaign this fall for the
planting of five thousand pecan trees
in this section Of the state. These
trees need not cost any money what
ever. They will cost labor and that
is all. The information we have is
that the nuts should be planted about
the first Of December, but if we wait
until nut planting time to begin the
campaign we will have failed TO
arouse any interest in the work.
The time to make your plans is
now If you have a farm you can
plant from 100 to 500 with good
profit If you own a city lot you
can plant from one to five and get a
lot Of JOY out Of seeing them grow.
Make up your mind now to get in
terested in pecan growing. We will
have letters from the federal agricul-
tural department. we will also have
letters from men who have given
much thought and study to pecan
growing and we will use the best in.

TWAS A LUCKY DAY
WHEN | GOT TANLAC
STATES TEXAS MAN

L never had much faith In medi-
cine. but Tanlac has convinced me
that there Is one. at least, that does
what they say it will do" said Harry
Davidson, well-known wood.carver and
designer living at 217 East Ninth ST.,
Houston Heights, Texas.
4 certainly would be hard to please
If wasn't satisfied with what Tanlac
did for me. I was run down for a
year and was mighty nervous all the
time. AT times my head ached so
bad could hardly stand it and I was
awfuDy bilious and constipated. l
got to where l could scarcely do my
work and began to be alarmed for
fear would have to quit altogether.
1T certainly was a lucky day for
me when a friend dropped in and
advised me to take Tanlac. This
medicine suited my case exactly and
believe reached every nerve and
muscle in my body. My whole sy-
tenn just feels like it had been made
over again, and it has been many a
day since / was as full of life and
energy as l am now. After what it
has done for me I am convinced that
1t is just the thing for folks in a
weak and rundown condition, for
there is something about it that builds
a man up and makes him feel fine"
Tanlac is sold in Ardmore by the
Frame Drug Co. and by leading drug,

COTTON GROWERS
ASSOCIATION A

The Cotton Growers Association is
pretty well organized in Oklahoma and
what the results will be are to be
seen.
The theory of a cotton association
is good. If it proves out to be serv-
iceable we shall be pleased but if it
fails to possess any merit it will only
be in keeping with all other plans
inaugurated for the farmer and his
cotton.
An association was organized a few
years ago and It went into the hands
Of a receiver and was never able to
accomplish any good.
There are some men connected with
the Cotton Growers Association that
are willing to sacrifice their time and
some money too to make the plan ef.
fecuve. Their sincere desire is to be
Of service to the cotton grower. But
every man in the south is a friend to
the cotton grower. The grower does
not always feel that way, but the
statement is true. II the South could
put cotton 10 CSC or 30c q pound and
Keep It there this country would be
rich. Then why should not every
banker and business man in all the
country be in favor Of the high price?
An organization to keep up with
the cotton on hands and to keep the
farmer advised as TO the acreage that
should be planted in cotton would
lead TO the growing OF only such cot.
ton as will be needed and would help
some. The marketing plan might help
and will if it is made universal
enough but il is doubtful If this will
ever be the case.
Men who have grown wealthy on
, the .arm are the men who have di.
versified, they are men who have had
some stock about them, they are men
who have been self reliant, they
have not looked TO organizations 10
do for them what they should be
doing for themselves. They are men
who have bought lands on time and
have paid them out They are men
who have raised feed and live stock
and provided means for protecting
their stock from the severe weather
Of both winter and summer. The
man who leans on any outside influ.
enee instead OF depending absolutely
upon his own labor and his own skin
and his own judgment does that which
saps his self-reliance and takes away
from him his best friend on the
farm or in any other line Of business. |

SHOCKED THE ENGLISH

When George Harvey, American
Ambassador to England, rode through
Hyde Park in Ford car, English So
ciety was shocked, but the English
liked the shock Mr.. Harvey stepped
down from dignity that no other
American Ambassador had ever done.
He is either more democratic or he
has played such a role with a degree
Of success.
Mr.. Harvey did another thing that
the English made note Of The AmeIi-
can played golf in his' shirt sleeves.
When the drops of sweat began to
run down the face Of the american
he felt the same freedom in removing
his coat that ne would have felt had
he been on the local course playing
a game with his fellow citizens. That
was new to England and TO English
men who have been taught that men
who have been elevated to office
should be the mysterious folk who
attract prestige to their offices be-
cause they do not move along with
the great crowd of people.
The big man on every occasion is
the man who is able to be himself,
who does not change his manners,
the tone Of MS 'voice, his dress and
his personal appearance because he
happens to change company Some
men are natural aristocrats and il
they try 10 be anything else they
are failures. Some men are naturally
less spectacular and if they try to do
spectacular things they end in fall
ure.
Mr. Harvey may make speeches
that deserve the condemnation Of the
folks back home but his democratic
ways win not be so Objectionable
and viii in fact relieve him Of some
OF tho censure which he has been
made an object OF since be went
abroad as a representative OF the

Baron Sakatani said that Japan has

can be no fear Of the question ever

will adhere to the policy of China's
integrity and OF the open door prin-

the Japanece have been dreading for

VIEWS OF AMERICA.
AND JAPAN ALIKE.
STATESMAN VS.
(By the Associated Press)

Toxic, July 27-Baron Sakatani
vice president of the America. Japan
Society and member of the House Of
Peers, writing in the Asahi says that
as practical political question the
views of the japanese and American
governments on the immigration
question are in accord since the Unit.
ed States uoes not desire the increase
Of japanese immigrants, while Japan.
in compliance with the terms OF the
"Genueinan's Agreement" is not send.
ing immigrants TO America.
He expressed the opinion that the
principal reason why America does
not desire an increase OF Japanese
immigrants is that the Japanese are
industrious workers and formidable
competitors Of Americans and not be-
cause they are an inferior race. In
other words, the American opposition
to japanese immigration Is economic
as well as social to which a small per.
centage Of racial prejudice may be
added. He believed that 1t is hardly
conceivable that discrimination In
America against comparatively
small number Of japanese should be
made a casus belh between Japan and
America.
As to the zap question the Baron
says no sane right.think!ng people will
ever think of Yap becoming a Sc.
rious bone of contention between the
two countries and there will be no
difficulty in finding a solution II
Japan and the United States exchange
their views fully and frankly.
II Is true that the Korean question
is being discussed by certain Amerl.

but after all 1t being an internal prob.

PECAN PLANTING
CAMPAIGN

Carter county produces more pc.
cans than any other county In the
state. This production has come in
the natural way from the pecans
which nature has given us The nat
ural inference TO be drawn from this
fact IS that our soil is best adapted
to the growth OF the pecan and men
OF business know that It IS always
better TO work with nature rather
than TO try TO contradict it.
II We raise hundreds OF cars Of
pecans without any effort except 70
gather the crop We might devote
some OF our land TO new trees and in
time raise thousands Of cars.
The county can double Its pecan
crop many times over by planting
new trees.
There are two reasons why more
pecans ar~ not planted. One is that
the cost is greater than the growing
Of the ordinary forest tree and the
second reason is that long wal;
must be made between the time the
tree Is planted and the time it be-
comes profitable.
The first reason. which is the cost.
can be gotten rid Of The heavy cost
can be eliminated by planting the
nuts instead Of transplsnting the
trees. II costs about s2.5O to plant a
pecan tree, one.half Of them usually
fail to grow and that doubles the
cost and makes Il average about IS
to the tree.
: II the nuts are planted and the
sprouts budded and transplanted there
= no money cost Of much considera.

when the River Avon was turned into
a stream Of flames that rose nearly
fifty feet into the air. doing much
damage, even roasting Juicy apples
that hung on trees near the banks.
For two or three days a thick coat

a rubbish FIRE near the bank were
carried to the river by the wind and
ignited the oil. In a moment the

It is important to have good stock
Of general information. but It is equally
important to be able to use 1t quickly

It is possible to measure exactly
your ability along these lines The fol-
lowing ten sentences are a real mental
test Of the kind used by expert stu
dents Of the mind. They seem easy
and look rather like a joke, but they
will reveal important facts about any
body.
In each sentence check the word
that makes the right sense. Stop OF
the end Of minute and half.
