What would have happened, if, say
ten or fifteen years ago, every home
owner in Bay City had planted paper
shell pecans where they planted cot-
tonwood, hackberry, china, sycamore
and other trees? Had this been
done, by now, in most cases the few
trees around the premises would be
bringing in a revenue sufficient to
more than pay the taxes of 90 per
cent of the homes and enough to pay
the taxes of the most expensive
homes. Besides, there is no prettier
tree grown than a well kept paper-
shell pecan tree. These observations
are not the products of a dream or
guess wark. We have concrete and
actual facts to bolster the statement,
some of them personal and some the
result of a neighbor’s foresight. About __

Let us hope' that the financial in-
of the country will remain
and not start anything so foolish
trying to curtail the money sup-
. , . . This country and the indus-
| tries of the country lack a great deal
of being developed to their highest
peak and until they are, there can be
no such thing as too much money.
Nobody we know of. except those,
who make money out of a scarcity
of money, will agree with Wall Street
or any other financial institution
■when they run up such a red flag of
danger. The .only man who suffers
from “too much money” is the shark
who makes money out of its scarcity
and the misery, want, and privation
that a scarcity brings to the millions.
In addition to this, the more money
there is available the harder it is for
the sharks to get hold of the reins
and manage the affairs of the coun-
try to suit themselves. The man of
small affairs, and his kind, are my-
riad, knows that there has never
■ been, will nevei’ be and cannot be in
this country, too much money.

will reach 100, if not 200, and. nat-

There is no profit in neglecting the

Read Governor Ferguson’s defense
of her pardon record? If you have
been criticising her adversely, and if
you are honest about it, you will read
it and then take back what you said.
Her sharp reply to her critics left
nothing unsaid or unexplained. The
answer wias done up in true Fergu-
son style and it rapped severely at
places. Especially pointed in her re-
marks was she in replying to the
Methodist women of the Panhandle
and the W. C. T. U. ladies of San An-
tonio. Governor Neff was arraigned,
perhaps by these same ladies, for not
granting pardons and now they “jump
on” Governor Fergusin for granting
them. It is ieasy to understand what

difficult and a different problem to

America’s present timber supply’ can
be made to go much farther without
affecting comfort and convenience. A
large part of the present 300 feet per
capita is wasted and there is consid-
erable wiaste in logging and sawing
which will be eliminated in the fu-
ture. As President Coolidge says,
the forest problem is really one of
land utilization. The public must un-

She’s a diandy!
(By Betty M. Hart.)
With the coming of warm weather
lice and mites begin to multiply with
a vengeonce and breeders should be
on the lookout for them. If your
chickens are not healthy and thrifty
you may be sure there is some in-
sect that, is feasting on their bodies
at night. The constant irritation set
up by’ thee isnsects cause the chick-
ens much discomfort and checks their
growing. That’s one reason why so
, many people lose their baby chicks.
A good insect powder should be used
on the hen to bring off the chicks
free from lice to begin their battle
for life. If the setting hen is not
rid of these pests while she is in-
cubating her eggs, when she hatches
and head lice, which fasten them-
selves to head and throat of the little
chicks leaving the head of the mother
hen as soon as the baby’ chicks are
hatched will quickly deprive the lit-
tle ones of all their vitality. Thous-
ands upon thousands of chicks die
from this cause and no other.
It is astonishing the number of
people that have raised chicks all of
•their life and have never seen a head
'ouse. They would lose little chicks
by the hundreds and never suspect
what was the cause of their dying, j
I have been called to konw what was
the matter with the baby’ chicks when .
they were first hatched, they were
thrifty, and in a. few days they would
droop and die or would sleep them-
selves to death and die by the doz-

at the highest levels in the history
of the country. The explanation is,
that, not only are the American peo-
ple as a whole prosperous, but they
are thrifty. They have learned to
save systematically, and they have
become an investing people. The war.
with its flotation of billions of bonds
by the government, educated the
American people to investment pro-
