The Wise Friend*
Once upon a lime—and not
Very long ago—there was a
brother and oiator who had a
friend. A very special friend
lie was, who told them stories
about men who flew through the
skies over far flung spaces of the
earth; of boysaud girls who had
thrilling and mysterious adven-
tures; of others who had most
Unusual situations confront them
yet managed to come through
their te6ts with steadfast and
courageous hearts; of wild ani-
mals in deep jungles—how they
lived, hunted, and died. Such
tt host of things did their good
friend tell them of, and how in
terestingly he told them!
Came the time when their
friend moved away to another
town. Brother and sister were
saddened by his g"ing, for they
knew they would miss his cheery
smile and the wonderful stories
and amusing anecdotes he was
so fond of telling them Then
oue day the postman brought
them h letter from their friend,
in which he told them he was
Bending them The Youth's Com-
panion so that they would not
forget him, and that In it they
Would find just the sort of sto-
ries they had ho much enj yed
hearing him tell.
And sure enough, a day or
two later the magazine arrived,
and brother and sister found
that it truly did have just such
Wonderful stories of adventure
nod sport $nd mystery, and ju-t
such jokes as they loved so well.
Aud every time that a new num-
ber of The Youth's Companion
arrived, they wrotn a note to
their friend and told him how
much pleasure the magaziue
gave them.

same pleasure, or give that pleas

Helping the Editor.
The efficiency of the local pa-
per, as a news medium, depends
on community wide co-operation.
The local news items are matters
of community interest. We want
to know what is going on in our
City, in our county and it is phys-
ically impossible for either the
editor or an employee to be pres-
ent everywhere and gather all the
items of, general interest, Yet
his paper needs news and we read
it co learn the news in the town
and county; Nor is this to be
misconstrued as a complaint of
or findiug fault with the editor
or the paper. It is rather de
signed to remind myself and oth-
ers of the helpful part we may
have in making our, for it is ours,
local paper the newsiest newspa-
per possible.
This can be done when the
newsrnaking public realize the
necessity of reporting to the of-
fice items of general interest.
Write up. of course subject to ed
itorial revision, matters of Hpe
cial fnterest, send them in. or for
mere items, call up and after say-
ing "Hello Bill," give him the
item—thus we can help the editor
to make "our paper" one of far
reaching interest. By so doing
more people Will desire to have
its regular visits, and so from a
business point of view you are
building "your paper" into a bet
ter advertising medium.—A. K.
Mattingcy in Morris Co. News.
KNOW TEXAS
Texas ranks firft among the
states both as to total production
of sorghum and as to the num-

Tobacco culture W'as introduc-
ed into Texas with the earliest
settlements, and many attempts
have been made to grow it on a
commercial scale. Many parts

ducing area exists here.

watermelon producing states.,

biggest melon producing county
in the United States, Weather
ford frequently shipping as high
as 1000 car loads in a season.

crop of wheat, but could increase
the output fourfold if all the
; wheat laud were fully utilized.

' du try( there being at ieast 116
! Hour mills producing more than
.$40,000,000 annually io flour and

Worm-holes to make it look antique.
But the real treasure was hidden

corners with generations of thumb-

in the entire hook bore tlK secret —

was penned in fine handwriting and
