flee that 100 bales of cotton did.
People are always hungry and there
is always a market for something
to eat. Get your good milk crows in
good working order and make them
pay their way; II they don't get
rid OF them and get cows that will
sell cream and feed the skim milk
to the pigs and chickens, set every
incubator and hen on the place and
cover the farm with chickens and
turkeys. One man now milking 3
COWS near Snyder is selling over
$4,000 worth OF cream a month
his hogs are enjoying life on skim
milk. Another man with about 450
leghorn hens Is netting around $40
per month from his eggs alone and
is buying feed for them at the rate
OF $4,000 per month. There isn't
a half section OF cotton land in
Scurry county that will average this
return over any five year period.

CITY COUNCIL DOES
SOME GOOD WORK

The present city council has
shown itself to be awake to the
best interest OF the city by the sub
stantial work It has done. The one
and most important thing is the gray
cling of the square, which has prov
en- its worth over and over and with
the possibility OF its being oiled
which is now under consideration 1t
will be in excellent condition.
This council has worker econom-
ically, and. but for the financial
stringency a larger program would
have been mapped out, yet, regard
less of the existing conditions. a step
forward has been made and founda-
tion laid upon which a permanent
civic construction can go forward.
This council. which is composed OF
NJ. A. Fuller, Mayor; T. ]. Black
burn, H. j. Brice, II. L. Davis, j.
X. Blackard, w. NJ. Morrow and Aus
tin Erwin. aldermen, Harvey Shuler,
Secretary and o. p. Wolfe, marshal.
are to be commended for the sound
business basis upon which they have
worked and the harmony which has
characterized their deliberations.
Judging from expressions of trav-
cling men and those who chance to
pass this way. Snyder is a good look
ing town, clean and presentable. and
1t only remains with US, ali working
in unison with the city council,
whittier we shall maintain this STAN
dard.
We are not to infer from this that
our efforts should cease. but rather
give us a greater incentive toward
civic development. There is plenty
to do and as spring is upon us, we
should begin to think about our
spring cleaning, renovating our pre-
misses and every way possible add 70
it's beauty and attractiveness. Some
time soon we will be inspected and
classed according to our cleanliness.
and the rating we ged will signify
the interest we take. We should be
ready when they come.

SIGNAL MAN At
DUNN THIS WEEK

A Signal reporter went with the
Chamber OF Commerce to Dunn last
Friday TO meet the good people
there and talk about certain indus
trial and economic matters as are
guaranteed to come in as real produc
ers. The themes OF these fellows were
social and commercial cooperation
and the value to all of US in the ex-
tension and cooperation in hog and
poultry raising and greater interest
in dairying.
Farming operations are waking up
along the way and few fields Of left
over cotton is still in sight. Pastures
are showing green and blooming
orchards are in evidence at every
home.
Just a few farmers were in town.
Mrs. Brown was in charge OF the
Beakley store. Blacksmith Jones was
sharpening plows. Mr.. Worley was
found in his store ready to meet
all demands Mr.. and Mrs. J. J. Ford
have a nice stock of general mer-
chandise and enrolled for the Signal.
Mr.. d. Olenbusch was interested in
the hog and poultry line. He is a
new citizen there. Came from South
Texas and bought the Kidd farm near
Dunn and intends to make it one sf
the prettiest farms in the county. He
subscribed for he Signal.
Col. Beakley was everywhere look
ing after the business Of the visit
and lining up the young folks for
industrial club work.
At the school Prof NAPLES and
three other teachers have about 120
pupils attending.
The meeting was held in the school
yard and the children gave close at
tention. They mean business.
The farms about Dunn are already
pretty well stocked with good quail
ity chickens. and those people will
be ready with some good stuff for
the poultry show Miss Lucille Cab
bert. has pure blood birds Of the
Ancona strain. Most OF the girls re-
ported Wyandotts, Leghorns and R.
!. Reds. One girl said she didn't
know the name of their chickens,
some kind OF dominecker."
Dunn country is a thickly settled
part OF the county, has good clean
farms good homes. and intelligent
progressive citizenship. They raise
crops there when crops are raised
anywhere. They go to church, main
tain a good school, pay their debts,
trade in horses and oil leases, vote
the democratic ticket and most of
them read the Signal.

Eairy Cattle campaign and the re-
sponse made by these coming young
men and women showed that they
we're keenly alive and interested In
something that would pace them In
the producing ranks OF the COM
munity. The past record OF these
organizations has served to devel-
op the boys and girls into the fore
most citizens OF their community
wherever the work has been carried
on and has often served to stimulate
the older people to n realization that
1t is but the question OF few short
years that these younger people will
soon be stepping into their places.
Judge ] z. Noble addressed the meet
ing which Tas big and an enthusi-
astic one not only being attended by
the school children but a big num-
ber OF citizens OF Dunn and farmers
in the community. w. NJ. Morrow
spoke concerning the Poultry asso-
citation work and +. j. Anderson ex-
planned the Pig Club program and
Dairy Cow development. From the
enthusiastic spirit shown at this
meeting there is little doubt but that

account OF itself in the near future.

Clavier of Great Falls, who conducted
a service and lecture given at the X.
of P. hall Sunday evening under the
auspices Of the international Bible
Students association. The president
of the association, j. f. Rutherford of
New York, has aroused considerable
newspaper comment by a rather SEN
sational prediction that the year 1925
will mark the end of the existing or
der of things in this world, and that
after that Christ will be present as
ruler, that an era of peace and good
will will then begin and that millions
now living will never die"
However, Mr.. Gfavier explained that
the words are not to be construed too
literally and that he does not mean
the world viii come to a physical end
in 1925, or that human beings will not
have to suffer physical death. The
new era spoken of is spiritual, not
physical.
