lower house of Congress advises
folks to buy a few laying hens
and combat the high cost of liv-
ing. Champ’s advise is good, and
then it is not good. For instance,
it takes much money just now to
buy laying hens, and chicken
feed is as high and as prohibitive
as the hens, and then about the
time that new-bought hens begin
to feel sufficiently at home in new
surroundings to condescend to lay
occasionally, old time will have
revolved around to spring when
eggs are cheaper. The Speaker’s
advise involves great risks, still
it is to be admitted that laying
hens, in spite of all argument to
contrary, are a good family asset.

POSSIBILITIES OF TOWN-CO-
OPERATION.
If all the towns in this section
of the state could lay aside their
selfishness and unite in some
kind of a mid-Texas commercial
club or similar organization it
would be possible to develope this
section far more rapidly than can
now be done. There is no reason
why any of the towns in this sec-
tion should feel that other towns
are lighting against them, or that
the efforts they are putting for-
ward to advance themselves can
not be successful unless some oth-
er towns are damgaed. The in-
terests of all the towns within a
hundred miles of Brownwood are
almost identical; and whatever
helps some one of them will as-
suredly help all of them. Why
not form an organization includ-
ing in its membership the pro-
gressive town builders of Brown-
wood, Goldthwaite, San Saba,
Blanket, Zephyr, May, Bangs, Co-
manche, Dublin, Santa Anna, Cole
man. Ballinger, and Brady, for
the purpose of assiting in the gen-
eral development of this great
territory ?—Brownwood Bulletin.
A good suggestion and we
would not konek it, but before
some of the towns mentioned a-
ove could be induced to see tin
benefit of such an organization
they must wake up and realize the,
necessity of a local commercial
club. Such work, like charity,
should begin at home, then a mid-
Texas commercial club would

tention of the outside world.
