I^ich man has got his way to go,
And each way queerly winds;
And only when his sun sinks low
Does each know what he finds;
And if he has found good, or ill.
It shan’t much matter then
To him who has to climb no hill,
To take no trail again.

And my way winds along
Where flowers bloom and children play,
And so I go with song;

For what there is of woe—
A something catching at my throat—
Byways my brothers know.

The Chain Tire Stores Corporation
with stores located in various cities
throughout the state, have announced
their intention of opening a local
Chain Tire Store in this city, accord-
ing to a representative of the com-
pany who was in this city last week.
The firm is a $100,000 corporation
with stores located in the principal
cities of the state. They now have
15 stores in operation and expect to
have 75 stores open by the first of
the year. The company’s headquar-
ters are in Dallas, with distributing
points at Houston and San Antonio
later. The company will only carry
the highest standard of guaranteed
tires and tubes and a complete line
of automobile accessories.
Our branch managers will make
the adjustments on tires and tubes at
all our stores and save the public the
annoyance of delay in making adjust-
ments.
The local manager will employ
those whose ability and references
come up to the organiaztions require-
ments. It is expected that this store
will be opened in the next few weeks.

census figures would indicate we would have to
grow the other way to get down to the Taylor

thrust of State Press only indicates the inflated
idea? that obtain as to West Texas.
THE SOUTH’S LABOR SUPPLY
The South is waking up to the fact that it has,
in the negro race, the most dependable labor in
the world. This is being realized quite keenly
in many sections of the old Southern States when
an effort is made to replace the negro labor that
has gone north to work in the mines and factories
of that section. It is said that other available
labor is very scarce and that it represents a
foreign element that is not relished in the South.

BONUS BILL TO
BE INTRODUCE
NEXKONGRESS Eagle Shirts
Washington, June 11—Predicting en-
actment of an $1,200,000,000 adjust-
ed compensation bill by the next con-
gress, Senstor Holm O. Bursum, re-
publican of New Mexico, chairman of
the senate pension commission, today
announced the bonus fight in behalf of
America’s 4,000,000 world war veter-
ans would be waged from a new angle
—that of legality.
The government, Senator Bursum
said, had contracted a "legal obliga-
tion” by forcing its soldiers to pay
tbeir own insurance, and in forcing
allotments during the war. He cited
state compensation acts, affecting
peace time employment to emphasize
the government’s obligation.
Furthermore, Bursum declared, the
bonus bill when passed will be signed
by President Harding. If not, he said,
there are enough votes to pass it over
his veto.
Bursum announced he would intro-
duce the bonus bill as soon as con-
gress reconvened and was prepared
to lead the fight for its enactment.
The new Bursum bill, he said, will
be modeled after the one introduced in
the last congress with certain changes
The bill will pay a minimum of $32
a month to the veterans, through the
following principal provisions:
1. Refunding of all isurance pay-
ments, averaging $7 a month per
man.
2. Repayment of a’! enforced allot-
ments ranging from $5 to $15 a month
and
3. Repayment of a “retractive”
wage increase of $20 a month for ser-
vice during the war (equal to the in-
crease given civilian employes during
the war.)
Bursum declared his new bill would
“contain no gratuity.”
"It would simply provide for the
refunding to the ex-service men of'
moneys which were wrongfully with-1
held from his payment, first the $7|
a month insurance he paid should’
have been paid by the government and,
not deducted from the soldiers’ wages.'
It is manifestly wrong to exact from
the man, who hazards his life in de-1
tense of his country, the expense of I
carrying an insurance to cover that
hazard and to deduct it from his
wage.”
Bursum declared the government al-
so should refund the enforced allot-
ments. He termed this practice a
“great liberality with other people’s
County Road Superintendent Tuck-
er and Commissioner Moore and Mc-
Neil were in the Elysian Fields coun-
try last week, leaving town on section
27. They found some work had been
done on this section but more work
needed to be done. They found the
rest of this road greatly improved,
except sections 24 and 25 and a part
of section 4 and work needed on
No. 46.
They also visited the Woodlawn com-
munity and found the north end of
section 30 in bad shape, balance sec-
tion good. Section 31 was in fairiy
good shape except that ditches needed
opening. Section 3 was in fine condi-
tion. Section 54 in bad shape; Patrol-
man Bender was working on this sec-
tion. Section 33 J. W. Calloway

Supt. Tucker says that all sections
of roads that have not been improved
has still got most of the money on
hand and that it will be spent on
them.

by Dallas and Fort Worth in the recent attempt of
a few cities to get the advantages of the Shreve-
port freight rate. The two big Texas cities op-
posed it and told the West Texas people that while
Dallas and Fort Worth was paying the same rate
that places 300 to 500 miles west of them were
paying, that they submitted to it because it was
building up West Texas. But when East Texas
wanted relief the cry from the Twin Cities was
that we must not disturb Texas rates. Yet, that
now Marshall and Jefferson and other East Texas
cities have won their contention and are about to
get the Shreveport rate we see Dallas and Fort
Worth coming in wanting the rate extended to
those cities.
We wonder if State Press knows that two
years ago that Dallas offered to donate $15,000
per year to help maintain the West Texas Cham-
ber of Commerce? If he does know this he pro-
bably knows that never a cent was offered the
East Texas Chamber of Commerce.
East Texas has come to the conclusion that it
is an orphan so far as the big North Texas com-
mercial cities are concerned. We realize we must
go it alone and if State Press thinks this is the
isolated opinion of a small town editor he has
another think a coming. The feeling is universal
throughout the piney woods section.
East Texas is especially the territory of Dallas
newspapers and yet we have never known a rep-
resentative of a Dallas paper in Marshall that
didn’t come on special invitation to make a speech
at some banquet or other. Where are staff cor-
respondents of the Dallas papers now?
We do not fail to appreciate what the loss to
East Texas is, in that we are practically ignored
by our state’s great commercial centers. It means
a slow growth or retrogression. We do not feel
that we are dependent of the great influence that
these centers could extend to us. But until Dallas
and Fort Worth fights out the battle as to which
of them shall be supreme in the arid West, we will
have to wait in patience or look to some other
source for help. Just now Houston has an oppor-
tunity that she is not neglecting to improve. And
with our cheap rates that we have secured
through our own efforts, and in spite of the oppo-
California, the Marshall News isn’t going back in

Morning News.
This was not small talk stuff for home con-
sumption. The local part of the question is West
Texas—not East Texas. The entire question of
building this college was to placate the voters of
West Texas. State Press knows this but at the
same time he knows that no paper seeking West
Texas patronage dare oppose this spending of a
million dollars to start a new college that will’foreign immigrant to any great extent,
cost possibly a million yearly to maintain. !
Press knows that except for the sectional pressure' labor from Russia and Lower Europe and the re-
that is being brought politically and commercially. suit has been that anarchy and bomb throwing
that the West Texas Tech College wouldn’t have a'and I. W. W. and other kindred isms have never
chance. State Press knows that the common
schools of the state are only running an average
of 187 days per year and he knows that more than
98 per cent of the children of Texas only attend
these common schools. He knows that under the
tremendous stress of taxation that the people of
Texas as a whole do not favor the building of any sire to overthrow the government. As a general
more colleges just now.
And yet for commercial reasons Dallas and
Fort Worth dare not oppose this vast expendi-
ture. And the papers of these cities are a unit in
favoring the loading down of our educational sys-
tem with an unnecessary college. Everything in
the two cities mentioned bows to West Texas. The
railroad companies arrange their schedules so the
newspapers can get their "Bull-dog” editions out
at ten o’clock at night and get them all over.
