give these Peace rumors much

laid to rest in the Denison Ceme-

mind, leaves s vacancy in the
ranks of Port Worth's influential
men that will be hard to fill. Not
only will Port Worth miss him,
but all Texas will suffer a loss.

Agriculturial Journals, Farm
Demonstration Agents and those
who are keeping in touch with
the high price of cotton seed, are
warning the farmer to store
away plenty of seed for planting
next year. Twenty cents a pound
for the staple will be the cause
of many farmers who here lo-
fore have not planted a cottoa
crop, to try their hand and they
will want seed. And more so.
these Agriculturial papers say,
that )be fellow who has never
tilled the soil, is going to rustle
next spring for a few acres of
land, a mule, and some cotton
seed. .
To say that the farming class
of people in Wilbarger County as
whole just now, are in good cir-
cumstances finaneialy, in our
opinion juat midly expresses the
term. For we believe the farm-
ing element in this country is in
better shape than they have
ever been in the history of Wil-
barger County. Of course 20
cent cotton is responsible for
their prosperity, but cotton is
worth the price to grow it, and
more so, since the farmer is of-
ten refered tons the ’ back-bone
of the nation", be ie entitled to

Did you ever atop tu think'

that there is plenty of land in
thi* part of Wilbarger Connty I
that i« oaying its owners more
per acre thu > ear than they have
been valuing an acre of land at.
Of course this land has a cotton
crop on it and cotton has sold at
twenty cents a pound and better j
lhi« fall. But it ia an evident
fact, that if notion holds up to1
t
the twenty cent mark for another
year or two. some of these old
sandy land farms are going sky
high in valuation. The cotton1
crop in this country^as produc-■
ed this year under, what seemed
to the glowers, very unfavorable
circumstances. No rain to apeak
of moistened the cotton fields J
until late in the summer, yet!
these same fields are yielding the
farmer all the way from a third ,
to a half nale of cotton to thej
acre. W hen a bale of the staple,!
not counting the seed. Sells tor |
from seventy five to one hundred j
dollars and on some few farms;
an acre of dirt has grown a balr. •
Doesn’t it seem that a whole
lot of the land in this part of the
County ie undervalued.
Struggle for Self-Control
Self is the greatest enemy with
which men contend. Not all men
are selfish in the true meaning
of the term. Many are unselfish
in that they are s> mpaihetic and
kind to their fellow men. But
where ie the man or woman who
has not had to coo tend with self?
The ware fare for self-control
ie often fierce. There ye many
who have contended Tn battle
