Home'* no! merely four square walls.
Though with picture* hunt? and

Home In where affection call®—
Filled with shrine* the heart has
bullded!
Home! Go, watch the faithful dove,
Sailing 'neath the heaven above us;
Home is whore there's one to love!
Home is where there's one to love
tut!
Home's not merely roof and room
It needs joniethliig to endear it;
Home is where the heart run bloom.
Where thi re's some kind Hp to
cheer U.
What Iw home with none to inert.
Nono to welcome, none to gret-t u-
Home Is sweet, and only sweet,
.Where there's one who loves to
meet lis.

An alleged moonshiner arrested at
Oklahoma City recently hoped to I"
set free because he told a federal
Judge thnt he had a good reputation
In Arkansas. The judge informed him
that he noticed that moonshiners gen-
erally have a good reputation in Ar-
kansas. The man drew a six months'
term.

clared. This is'good news, now if old
man winter will spare our fruit this
year it won't be long until we can
again sit down to the table and par-
take of a good peach ccobbler like
mother used to make.
If Gov. Tat NefT's reccommenda-
tions, In his abolition message, are
carried out the sum of $100,000 will
be saved to the state in salaries of of-
ficials of the departments and com-
| p .jglMsions he purposes to abolish and
consolidate. Governor Neff Is for
general retrenchment and the people
are behind him.
Records of the Hegistrat show that
more than forty per cent of the stud-

Mian half .h<-' mail students, 1210 in
numVier, earned all or a portion of
their expenses, and 6*S of these were
women students. 144 earned all the
expenses and 14 8 a part of their ex-
penses.

The Income tax laws should be
changed, letting future generations
help pay part of it. As it is, It throt-
tles business, and puts a premunv on
all whol have energy, pep and desire
to lay up something for the future.
The world was not made in one day,
neither was the war won in one day.
No one objects to doing their dead1
level best, but as the income tax now
is, It "takes the dead level best" out
of many, rnnny a business man.
Commenting editorially upon data
complied and made public by the
Telegram last week, the Mr Kinney
Dally Courier Uasef ;e remarked in a
recent issue;
"The Temple Telegram is encour-
aging the erection of a big cotton mill
at Temple and Is compiling data
showing that the seventeen mills in
Texas have inudu big earnings
throughout their entire cureors, and
more especially during the past three
or four years, several of them having
earned several thousand per cent or
twenty or thirty times their original
cost. The McKlnney cotton mill has
been paying a splendid return to its
stockholders ever since It was built
ten years agu. We favor building more
cotton mills to handle our cotton pro-
duction ut home Instead of shipping it
out of the state to be woven into cloth
and bought back by our people at
fancy prices."
Tho Courier-Gazette Is In an ex-
cellent position to observe '.he suc-
cess of the mill at McKlnney. and It Is
significant that the editor of that
paper wants to see mure mills located
In his town. The one already In oper-
ation has been proving profitable for
tne last ten years, so it must be prac-
tical. In this connection. It Is Inter-
esting to quote again from the report
on Hit! various mills in Texas i uI>-
Iklicd by the Telegram last Saturday. [
lu which the following Information
was furnished regarding the mill at
McKlnney:
'This mill was built in 1911, and is,
one of the few mills west of the
Mississippi river that lias a dye plan' |
and makes colored goods. This mill'
has been in successful and profitable i
operation continuously since It was
built, it started operations during
ry bad trade conditions, nevertho-1
ass it lias been ably managed and a
money maker from the beginning,
and doubled Us capacity some five I
years ago. Capital when organized
$150,000 and was afterwards raised to)
$440.vou through the sale of addition-
al stock. The original cost of , the
stock was $50 per share, and the
present value is $:;oo per share and j
cannot be bought at any price. Thlsj
mill Is pointed out as one of the best
in the state, and while no definite'
figures as to dividends are given out.)
the opinion of responsible people is toj
the effect that this mill has made over
22 per cent yearly since Its organi-
zation. Their products are Denim*
(for overalls) awnings and suitings !
They have 250 employes and a pay-:
roll of $182,000. In May, 1920, the]
capital stock oi this company was in-)
FACTS ABOUT COTTON.
About 60 per cent of the woi Id's
supply of cotton is grown in America.
Cotton Is liidgcnoua to all troP'Cal
and semi-tropical countries.

Moll wei \ 11 has about destroyed the
Sea Island lotton industry.
Moll Wei x 11 first appeared in the
I'lilted St ies at Brownsville, Texas,
In 18*2.
A slngl" pound of cotton h'is been
spun into a single thread more than
1 000 miles in length.
The p jupe'it in that there w H be
mi unspun supply of American cotton
at August 1, of 9,607,000 hales. Be-
fore the war the average amount of
cotton on hand at that date was about
1,200,000 bales.
Tho "Visible Supply" of cotton, and
the total supply on any given date are
two entirely different things.
Manufacture of cotton goods is the
very foundation of British wealth.
There i now enough unspun cotton
In the world to last about two yearB.
The average price of middling cot-
ton at 10 leading cotton markets In
the South Saturday Was, 14.03 cents.

from August 1st, to July .list.

creased from $440,000 to $750,000."
It is no wonder that McKlnney or
any other wide-awake town should
want several industrial institutions of
such character. They would result In
the building up of a real city within
a few years, and there Is no reason!
■why these mills which manufacture
cotton into cloth at big profits should
not be located in the cotton-growing
areas.
McKlnney Is a town Just about
half as large as Temple—having a
population of 6.677, according to the
1920 census—and Collin county does
not differ materially from BeM as an'
agricultural section. If the people of|
that town have been able to build up
a $750,000 cotton manufacturing'
plant, it appears that almost any
town in Bell county ought to be able
to emulate the splendid and profitable
example—and this can and must be!
done within the very near future.
A manufacturing plant that grows!
from a $150,000 institution to a $750,-
000 establishment within ten years,
starting operations during very had
trade conditions and making money!
from the beginning—a manufacutring
enterprise of that sort certainly Is
worth going after and if We had a
number of them in Bell county, man-;
ufacturing Bell county cotton, this sec- \
tion could soon boast of being the
■wealthiest district In the south. Just
as the cotton manufacturing districts
in Massachusetts now boast of being
tho richest area* in the world.—
Temple Daily Telegram.
Sugar in very cheap, but, believe
lis. you cannot tell it by buying candy.
Wonder what expensive material
candy Is made of anyhow?
Both the open and closed shop
seem 10 be out of business pretty
much now. Is the "won't shop" re-
sponsible for the general depression?
Young man, don't boast of your
ancestors and that you don't have
to work. Time has come when has
come when you should go to work.
McKlnney has a water system that
suppllea practically every section oi
our city with water for consumption
and fire protection. It is furnished by
deep wells and is pure and healthful.
President Wilson has refused to
commute Eugene Debs' term in the
Federal penitentiary. Debs was given
a ten years' sentence for violation of
the espionage act. He should serve it
out.
If (Jov. Pat Neff will recommend to
the Legislature the anullment of tho
suspended sentence law, he will make
his popularity in Texas unanimous.
We opine Pat Neff is going to make
Texas a great governor.
It' Gov. Pat Nef keeps on cutting
down the expenses and recommending
abolishment of useless offices, all the
people will lie for him next year. We
have heard many, who wero against
him during ihe last campaign, singing
his praises for his excellent start In
the management of the Governor's
office.
