A PANHANDLE PRORATA.
In yesterday's News was published an artiilr
on Hartley County written by the paper's staff
correspondent which included among other Hart
Icy county good things the facts that the county's
assessed valuations for this year are over six hun-
dred and twenty thousand dollars in excess of
those of last year and that if these valuations were
prorated according to population it would give
four thousand four hundred and forty-four dollars
to every man. woman and child in the county
a concerned prorata probably not exceeded by
any other county in Texas. These marked mon-
ey values in proportion to population have two
leading explanations:
First. Hartley is a Texas Panhandle county
and the Texas Panhandle has no poor people in
the general World definition of the term.
Serord. Hartley county's resources combine
agriculture and the handling on a large scale
of fir.e cattle the county having about fifty thou-
sand head of such stock.
Since May of last year five hundred cars of
feeder and beef cattle have been shipped from
Channing alone while on the county ranges are
now maturing from twelve thousand to fifteen
thousand head of two year old high grade steers
for this fall and next spring market shipment to-
gether with a contracting of a large number of
this spring's calves for next September delivery.
Large as are Hartley county cattle values they
are being systematically and ateadily increased
while agricultural hog. horse and poultry and
dairy interests are being rapidly expanded with
a logical consequence that Hartley county will dis-
play next year as great an increase in assessed
valuations as she has done this year over last
year's assessment
WILL AID TEXAS FARMERS.
The proposed amendment to Section 49 and
52 of Article 3 of the State Constitution authorizes
the formation of irrigation districts levee districts
drainage districts navigation districts and road
districts by a majority vole of the taxpaying vot-
ers of the territory to be organized all of which
districts are authorized under the present Consti-
tution to be formed by a two-thirds majority vote.
In addition to authorizing the formation of these
districts the proposed amendment will authorize
a majority of the qualified property taxpaying
voters of a given community to determine wheth-
er or not a warehouse district will be formed and
whether or not bonds to the amount of one-fourth
of the real estate taxable values of the district will
be issued for the construction maintenance and
operation of public warehouses for agricultural
products.
One of the most serious problems that con-
fronts the farmer of today is the problem of mar-
keting the crop produced to the best advantage
and profit to himself. If all of any particular
crop is placed on the market within a short time
after it is harvested the inevitable result ns evi-
denced by statistics is a decrease in the market
price of the c rop. Hie farmer thereby becomes
the loser since under present conditions he cannot
hold his crop and market it at a time when the
price is good. Especially does this apply in the
case of perishable crops such as vegetables and
fruits millions of dollars worth of which are rais-
ed in this state every year. I he adoption of the
proposed amendment would authorize the con-
struction of warehouses arid cold storage plants
for taking care of the farm product until they
can be properly marketed to the best advantage
of the producer. I he fact that the fanners' Un-
ion of this stale and the various oilier fanners' or-
ganizations have been for a number of years urg-
ing the construction of warehouses indicates the
attitude of the farmers with respect to this matter.
Every farmer in the state will vole for the amend-
ment if he understands its provisions with respect
to the construc tion of warehouses for agricultural
products.

I he July Americ an Magazine celebrates the
fiftieth anniversary of the battle of Gettysburg
with a thrilling illustrated account of the battle by
Edgar Allen Forbes n extract from which fol
lows:
"And if you would grasp the real horror of
Gettysburg hear the story of the wounded of De-
troit. They fell already parched with thirst on
the afternoon of the first; not until the night of the
third came water and medical attention. 'I heir
leader Colonel Morrow had been left on the
field; before he fell into the enemy's hands he
tore the straps from his shoulders to conceal his
rank. A considerate officer took notice of his
wound and allowed him to remain in the village
in a private house instead of being rushed south-
ward with the other prisoners.
"On the third day after Pickett's charge word
came to Morrow that his wounded were still
lying where they fell. Binding a surgeon's sash
about his arm. he went to look for them. On the
way he ran plumb into John B. Gordon and staff.
I le explained to the Confederate general why he.
a prisoner was at large and the chivalrous Gor-
don instantly responded. A staff officer was des-
patched to withdraw Confederate ambulanc es
from I'ukett's field and bring them to Doctor
Morrow whose rank Gordon knew but did not
disc lose. And the wounded colonel rested not
until he had brought in the last of his suffering
men. whose lips were so swollen and cracked with
thirst that they could no longer speak. And that
also is but a small part of the story of Gettysburg."
SECOND WIND.
(By George Matthew Adams.)
'I he race of Success is won just like any other
rrt(e on .Second Wind Second Wind is noth-
ing more or less than reserve power responding
and carrying one through to the end.
Be a Second Wind Performer.
Some people never experience Second W ind
simply because? they never put for the necessary
effort to enable them to draw on their reserve
lung space. But the reserve is there just the same.
Be a Second Wind Performer.
I he successful man goes through all the little
processes of failure and discouragement and de-
feat then he gets his Second Wind pushes all
the setbacks aside and carrying great momen-
tum he goes on and on. This is always the story
of the one who has the courage and stamina to
press on until the Second Wind is reached.
Be a Second Wind Performer.
If you want to experience the delight and
power that result from the acquiring of your Sec
ond Wind you have but to do more than you are
told to do more than you have to do. Second
Wind comes thorugh Initiative. Enthusiasm and
Determination.
Be a Second Wind Performer.
