EVERY ORCHARD
IS GUARANTEED!

R. Bruce Brough personally guaran-
tees every unit in these orchards. IA
absolutely guarantees to plant 20 of the
finest 3-year old grated paper shell
pecan trees to each acre unit, to care for
them, cultivate them, replace where
necessary, and manage the orchards eff
ficiently for seven years Cat which time
they should be bearing WELD. Then he
will turn over your units to you with
their full quota of healthy growing trees
or, at your request, continue the man.
agement for small percentage of the
net profits.
This insures your prosperity! For any
banker or business man in town will tell
you that such a guarantee from r.
Bruce Brough is in every sense guar
antee!
Your trees are thus in the most COM
petent and careful hands-you have no
trouble with them whatever. All you
do is spend the income!
And such an income! 1t is estimated
that you would have to invest $4,000
at the usual 60 to even equal the sum
you will be getting from just one unit
as early as the 10th year. Why, the
first profitable yield, indeed, should re-
turn your entire original investment.
And this is but the beginfnngy
Can you think of another investment
where $425 will mean so much?

A FEW DOLLARS
SAVED TODAY

can mean lifetime income for you in
Just very few years. How? Why, if
you invest it in Tex-La Pecan Orchards.
Examine it carefully! This is no ordi-
nary investment. With every unit in
these orchards you own an active money
making business of your very own. And
yet you haven't one single minutes work
or worry with it.
Before you realize it your trees will
be pouring their golden wealth into your
welcoming hands in never ending
stream. Really! So enormous are the
yields, in fact, so regularly do they bear,
so hardy and strong are they, that graft
ed paper shell pecan trees (such as your
orchards will beg have been the awed
subject of numerous Government sur
veys.
The particular feature of these or
chards is that, instead of decreasing as
so many investments do, your income
will continue to grow and grow; the
older the trees the more they bear. And
they live for centuries.
Why, your children. and your chill
dren's children will still be getting fine
protective income from these same or
chards!
There will be no "hard times" for
either you or them!

Thanksgiving AtLoulie
 Compton Seminary

The Thanksgiving season at the seminary was ushered in on Tuesday evening by the usual banquet, given by Miss Morton to the faculty and students of the boarding department. On this occasion the seniors were the guests of honor. The dining room was beautiful with flowers and autumn leaves over which the lights fell with a soft radiance. At the central table covers were laid for 20 the senior class and their teachers with Miss Morton as the generous hostess. Between the courses songs and yells, table responding to table, cheer to cheer, created that babble so characteristic of happy-hearted school girls. As the feast progressed so did the enthusiasm, until the mince pie and ice cream called forth wells for everybody, from the princi- pal to Frank the cook.
 After two hours of genuine fun the banquet ended with two verses of America" Further pleasures awaited the honor guests in the drawing room where games and fortunes were in store for them.
 On Wednesday morning in the chapel the real Thanksgiving spirit of the seminary girls was shown in their offerings. The primary depart ment contributed $34 to the Mercy home, the other classes gave $55 to the Old Ladies home while individual groups visited twelve families, talk ing fruits and groceries. These gifts were bestowed with a hearty good will beautiful to see.
 On Wednesday afternoon the semi nary students bade a merry good bye to books until Monday morning.

 Later in the evening dancing was enjoyed at the Country club. The ballroom of the club being decorated with smilax and wall pockets of or enid chrysanthemums were effective lY placed.

There are or have been

with increduity but the fact stands. There are or have been
mice that sing.
When the family had gathered in the living room after the
day was done and its activities were over we heard a plaintive
and very sweet singing, a mysterious, radio-ike music which none
could locate or explain. Several times each week the concert be-
gan about 8 o'clock of an evening and was maintained for an hour.
We searched everywhere for the source and failed. Then one
day mother got up on a chair to dust the big clock and found, much
to her horror, a mousehole just above the timepiece where it was
concealed from those standing or sitting. That evening the singer
came again and the mousehole in the mind of some one suggested
that the music might come thence. Cautious investigation re-
|veaed a little gray mouse and the singer was located. Night after
night when the song began the family fell silent and listened.
lSongless mice advantaged by the discovery for traps were taboo
Hest we catch our singing mouse. She came and sang for several
months and then the visits ceased. Perhaps a cat, maybe the
span of mouse life had been reached. At any rate we lost our
singing mouse and never knew another.
1t was about a singing mouse that Hough wrote his little
classics of home and family, of the group that gathered before
the stove or about the evening lamp and listened there together
of unforgetable days afield with a father who loved outdoors
and the gun; of mother and her infinite loving kindness and
service; of the family and its joys and sorrows and hopes and
disappointment; the story of home before home ties loosened and
broke. Hough was poor. He failed to win out in the west and
had not Caught on" as yet. So he sat with memory and lived
over the days of home when home was home, the days we never
forget and to which we turn when loss and disappointment afflict
us. He heard the little grey mouse singing in the wainscoting.
Hough "came on" His articles on the west, the old west
and the new are contributions to history. He has helped greatly
to embalm a time and conditions that have utterly passed, the
days of the great ranges, the cowboys and the cattle trails. Al
present a periodical is running his latest, a story of the breaking
of the cattle trail north of 36, from Texas to the railroad, a tale
of wild adventure that has all its foundations on solid fact and
that revives and describes conditions following the civil war wher
carpetbaggers raised and robbed a conquered people.
HOugh was a born vagabond, blessed with the uneasy foot
of the wanderer across the open spaces and blessed still further
with the will and the determination to let the foot follow the trail
Thousands of us have the instincts without the will or the oppor
tunity. The man lived as he wished to live and died as he would
have wished to die when the weakness of age and illness reared
their barriers between him and the wide outdoors and the opel
country. Perhaps he shall find again those who with him sat slen
and happy when the little grey mouse sang.

THAT A MORE DRIVE.

Flour mnlers of the country are to tage an "eat more wheat"
in an effort to bolster up the price of wheat, and editors
have been asked to get behind the campaign with newspaper pub
LEFTY. Wheat, of which a surplus is raised in this country, is
depressed in price because Europe is unable to buy the surplus
we are accustomed to send abroad. There seems no way whereby
to cause farmers to grow less wheat so the nation is to be asked
to eat more bread. 1t is estimated that if every man, woman and
child would eat one slice of bread more than usual per day the
price of wheat would be restored.
Raisin growers, orange growers and lemon growers are said
to have created markets for their products by advertising and
why not wheat growers?
Then by canning time there will be a drive on to use sugar
substitutes and eat less sugar until the price comes down. It
seems that as soon as the price of wheat gets down we must eat
more wheat to help the farmer and as soon as the price of sugar
goes up we must eat less sugar to stop the planter from profiteer-
ing. The chances are that most people will eat wheat as they
darn please SO long as they can afford it.
Politicians and farm organizations are proposing that the
government fix the price of wheat at a fair figure for the farmer.
wheat and the government couldn't eat it so the wheat would
have to be sold abroad at a loss and we would be taxed for the
deficiency as we were taxed to pay losses for government owner
ship of railroads. Brazil tried it on coffee and had to tax it's
ipeople in order to sustain a government price for coffee.
Then if the government did fix the price of wheat up for
wheat farmers it should fix the short crop price of sugar down for
consumers and Immediately sugar would be sold to Europe and
we would be out of sugar on our American markets.
The best thing the government can do to the price of COM
modities is to let it alone, and the consumer will regulate it. In
the long run high prices for sugar will curtail consumption and
promote the use of substitutes. Low price for wheat will dis
courage production and wheat will come back in time. America
could swamp the world with wheat if the government would
guarantee a profit in its growing all the time. Sugar beet raisers
will swamp the world with sugar if the present price remains
very long.

NOT so IMPOSSIBLE.

Elihu Root, once Roosevelt's secretary of state and the great
est international lawyer of modern times, tells US that in entering
the international court as recommended by President Harding:
eve undertake to do nothing and we give nobody
authority or power to do anything to US"
That is vastly different from joining a political pact wherein
we agree to help with army and navy to compel foreign nations
to obey and observe the rules voted by the supreme council of q
league of nations. #f
our moral approval to the establishment of the same kind of court
which our government has been urging for a generation"
Senator Borah, who has never yet established himself in
international prominence as an authority upon the relations of
nations, tells us that:
81 think the proposition that you can go into the league court
and still stay out of the league is the most remarkable PROPOSE
tion ever presented to the public. 1t is an impossible proposition. "
The public will remember the league of nations compact was
a compact containing many articles among which Article X won
a great deal of prominence and objection. The senate made many
changes in the compact that had been signed by other nations
and called them reservations. With those changes or reservations
to the compact the senate voted to enter the league.
The point is that it was possible to enter the league then as
to part of its covenants and still hold ourselves in reserve as to
others. Why then should it be an impossible proposition now
to enter the court of justice set UP by the league without entering
the league itself and being bound by every one of its articles?
Root and Hughes and Harding seem to have the best of the
argument as far as superficial judgment of the public is con-
cerned. The nation wants to do what it can to prevent war in
to prevent war, but it should be willing to assist in establishing
an international court of justice that will adjudicate controversies
that nations or overnment are willing to have adjudcated. We
do not need to be such towards as to be afraid of the dark just
because bears have been known to go about in the night.
