EXCHANGE COMMENT.
The Dalhart Texan in comment-
ing upon what various papers over
the Panhandle are doing said this:
"The Hereford Brand publishes
this week its platform for 1910 and
it is one that if carried out, and it
can be, will put Hereford on the
map in capital letters. Dalhart
joins bands across the Canadian on
the first plank: 'Trains in opera-
tion on the Colorado, Hereford and
Gulf, north and south.' "
And in viewing the situation from
the corner of the Panhandle the
Childress Index remarked:
"Hereford has set her stakes high
for this year. But then what is the
use of asking for a half loaf when
by a little harder work the whole
loaf can be secured. Hereford is
the best advertised town of the Pan-
handle and is making a rapid
growth. The Index expects to
all things they are ashing for
••
A Census Scrap.
Editor Koch of Quanah and J.,
Ray of Vernon are having a spar-
ring match about the population of
their respective cities. Becauos Ed-
itor Koch (pronounced Haw) had
bis Kgures mixed as to the number
of telepnones in use in Vernon the
Vernon Editor takes the Quanah
man to taw. Koch said Quanah had
470 and Vernon only 360; therefore
the population of Quanah was in pro-
portion much greater than Vernon.
Now Editor Ray comes back with a
beam and hurts it at the head of
Editor Koch and claims 463 phones
for Vernon. Neither of the gentle-
men tell ^whether these numbers in-
clude the country and parties running
into town but the supposition is that
they do. Finally Editor Ray invites
this challenge.
"We do not make this correction
in order to reflect upon our friend or
the neighboring towo, but that the
record may be kept straight.
"In this connection, however, we
will state that the number of phones
used in the city is not necessarily
indicative of the number of inhabit-
ants. A better way to arrive at
the correct size of a town is to take
the school children as a basis, multi
plying the number by six. In our
superintendent's report of last week,
it was shown that we have 841 child-
ren attending our schools from with-
in the city limits. This would give
us a population of 5022. Now, Qua-
nah's school district not only includ-
es the town, but embraces a territory
aggregating 25 square miles, and
we would like for the Tribune-Chief
to kindly let us know how many
children in the schools and what
proportion of them come from the
country. If friend Koch really de-
sires to arrive at the matter in a
fair way, he will have no difficulty
in doing so by this last named meth-
od. In the meantime, Quanah will
have to make some good strides be-
fore reaching a level with Vernon,
in respect to size, business or other-
wise."
That's right boys. Stick up hard
for your town. But just wait till
the "Census man comes around"
and your population will "swunk up"
like the nigger's fist.

Editor Brand.
Please find $1.00 enclosed for
which renew my subscription to the
Brand.
Wish you would stir Mr. Gregory
up and have him to write every
week from Kelso as we like to hear
from 'hat community, as we have a
couple of boys there and like to bear
from them. We are thinking of
moving down sometime in the near
future. We are interested in the
prosperity of the country and are
glad to hear of any new settlers
and improvements in that part of
the country or any other part for
that matter.
Yours respectfully,
Oscar Ellison.
