away 60 subs to the east for each
section of land owned it-would
be a fine scheme. The publisher
can't do it all. Paper and print

Just a few days ago we had a
land owner in Crosby County to
call at our office and pay us 50c
on Subscription, and after he
had received our heart felt
thanks for the half, he proceed
ed to tell us thatwewere getting
/up a very creditable paper, and
went on to say: "You fellows
ought to print 500 extra papers
each week and mail them to the
—east as an advertisement 4o
Crosby County, you get up the
best country paper I have ever
seen." After ! had the wheels
;; in my toad to whirl round and
.round a few seconds I said:
* "Well, how much land do you
.own in Crosby County?" He
said: "W-e-1-1, I own a little
more than four sections." I
said: "I don't own an acre, but
to show you that the Review is
in the game and that our heart
: is in the right place, I will meet
you half way old man, and we
, will distribute the 500 pacers
back, east, if your heart is in the
J' right place. I will make you
this proposition, if you will pay
for 250 subscribers, $250.00, to
v go ngclreast I will put 250 names
on the list, which means $250.00
| to me, and you and I will cer-
tainly do some very wise adver-
tising.. It don't look right for
me to furnish the money to do it
all, and now you come across
with your doctrine, and we will
do the work." Well right at
this stage of the game, this
darned old moss back felt a long-
ing for better company and said:
"Well I don't want to go into the
newspaper business." I said:
"Neither do I want you in as a
partner, for if you are so narrow
|as to want me to advertise your
forty-thousand dollars worth of
real estate and you dig up a
measly half dollar every six
months to donate after advising
that 500 papers should be sent
oat. Such men as this gives me
the jimmies and the only way
we would suggest as % remedy
for such cattle would be to take
between two little chips and

alright for a man to farm as
sees, fit, the farm is his, and

It is hardly too soon to remind
the people of this State that Feb.
22 is Arbor Day. . That is less
than a month hence and TKe^in-
tervening time will not be too
-much, in many cases to prepare
for a fitting celebration of the
day. Every man ought to ar-
range to have bis tree ready; and
there ought to be a good deal of
propagandic work, -not only in
th^neWspapers, I? u t in the
schools and churches. It is a
day that ought to commend itself
to the teachers and preachers
with double force; for while the
reasons for tree planting are pri-
marily economic and esthetic, it
is a service that generates a mor-
al influence. We do not believe
there is a man of normal spirit-
ual sense who is not conscious
of exultation after he has with
his own hands dug and planted
a tree. He is sensible of having
done someteing unselfish and
worth while, and in that feeling
there is a benediction. Arbor
Day, too, ought to be made to
serve excellently those cities and
towns which are so badly in need
of shade trees. That means
probably 95 per c§nt of the cities
and towns of Texas, but par-
ticularly those in West and South-
west Texas, where there is a
woeful lack of trees—a distress-
ing barrenness. Can not some
enthusiasm be generated by pub-
lic meetings, open to men, wo-
men and children, at which there
will be addresses on tree plant-
ing an-enrollment of such as will
pledge themselves to plant at
least one tree? There ought to
be 5,000,000 trees planted in
Texas next Arbor Day. That
would not mark as much of an
observation as the day deserves,
bu#it would make a fairly good
beginning.—Dallas News.
Now- that reminds us of a duty
that should not be put off. See
to it, let's get together and see
that at least 1,000 trees are
planted in Crosbyton on Arbor
day, Feb. 22 1910. Come to the
office of the Review and let's
get up a program and push Arbor
day for all it's worth. You will
see some nice trees planted at
the Review office and if Crosby-
ton does herself proud more than
1000 trees will be planted on that
day. Remember that planting a
tree means much—possibly after
you are dead and gone, the tree
will live and your children and
friends will preserve the trees in
memory of those who have gone
before.

In planning what to do with
the surplus eggs, butter, feed
stuff, or any other thing that
you have to sell always think of
the man in Crosbyton who will
be glad to give you the cash for
it and bring it here where you
get the top price, the place you
will be able to get what you want
to buy at the right price, "and
you will go home in a happy
mood every time you come to
Crosbyton.
The Crosbyton country is in
fine condition and the seasons
are just right so far, for a bump-
es crop this year and with it will
come the home seekers by the
hundreds this fall. Make your
yard beautiful, make your orch-
ard beautiful, make your farm
beautiful, make your home beau-
tiful and last but not least wear a
smile that wont come off and you
will please the world, be wealthy
happy and wise.
