Plant a good garden and live
at home during 1915.
Turkey, poor bird is in war
again to get picked.
Raise more to eat at home and
plant less cotton, is the slogan
of Texas today.
When people of Texas learn to
live at home the state will pros-
per, and "hard times" will be a
back number.
England has borrowed the
stars and stripes from Uncle Sam
without his consent, to land
their ocean liners in their harbors
safety. Their flag must be a
hoodo to them. What do you
think of that?
farmer mast think about feeding
himself and make his plana ac-
cordingly.
Ways and means of helping
the farmer do this have been
outlined and discussed. It is
admitted the farmer will have to
have help in order to meet this
condition. lie will have to have
credit to secure a no?/ or two and
seed for a garden. Furthermore
the land owner will have to help
and instead of hendering, by re-
strictions in his lease, he will
have to not only permit but
encourage the tenant to become
■alf-supporting
The result of these conferences
was more than satisfactory. A
good start has been made. And
it will be kept up and must be
kept up if the tenant farmer of
Texas is to escape hardships and
the prosperity of the Stat* is not
£o suffer a serious set-back.

L?t Texas Feed Itself.
That Tired Feeling
Do You Continually Feel
Sluggish, Disinterested?
If you do, is probably caused
by your liver. When th3 liver
fails to perform its functions
properly, the system becomes
clogged with poisonous matter,
that weighs you down mentally
and physically.
The liver gets out of order very
easily, and if neglecte, chronie
trouble usually results. Don't
delay if you feel badly. You
knowingly lay yourself open to
to life long pain, when you allow
yourself to contiune in a run
down condition. Cure yourself
quickly and harmlessly with the
natural vegetable remedy, Liv-
Ver-Lax. It has all the effect-
iveness, but not the effect, of
calomel. Genuine Liv-Ver-Lax
bears the likeness, and signature
of L. K. Grigsbys, and is guaran
teed to give satisfaction or money
refunded, Insist on it.

The opening skirmish in the
campafgn to induce Texas to feed
itself has been fought out and
while the battle is far fiom won,
the skirmishers made a most
satisfactory impression.
Over one hundred towns were
visited last week by evangels
from Dallas and Fort Worth and
they went right to the root of
the matter. They conferred
with the bankers who is to fur-
nish the money; the merchant
who is to furnish the credit and
the land owner who is to fur-
nish the land on which the crops
in Texas are to be grown. They
made as plain as a pipe stem the
fact that this campaign is in no
sense an acreage reduction propo-
sition in so far as cotton is con-
cerned. Every one knows that
in cotton section, cotton is the
money crop and the basis of both
credit and prosperity. But they
do not stop there. They went
further and showed that it did
not profit a cotton farmer to
raise all cotton and spend every
dollar he can rake and serape for
feed for his animals and food for
his family. And a further fact
was emphasized: The cotton
farmer, who for years has mort-
gaged his crop before it was
planted for food on whieh to sub-
sist while he is making that crop
is apt to find this year that the
merchant, neither of whom has
been able to collect last year's
account, are not going to be in
position to advance the same line
of credit this year., They have
sounded the warning that the
Health is as fine as ever.
Mrs. Marion Spears is at the
bedside of her sister Mrs. Reece
who is sick this week.
The farmers have been delay-
ed from work on account of the
rain and cold weather this winter
but it is getting so they can get
