Senator Bristow of Kansas
says that henceforth he will
stand always for principle in-

The New Orleans States says:
"Tom Marshall's thinness is the

graph." Nope; it's his Adam's
apple.
Prof. Tuft is going to take out

City Buiiding Notes.
The way to build a city is to
build it.
When sidewalks go down prop-
erty values go up.
Instead of kicking your town
try kicking yourself.
All things come to towns that
present a solid front.
Don't bleed your town to fat-
ten some other -trade at home.
What your town needs is not
merely to say what your town
needs.
It is a short cut from the gar-
bage can to the dinner table, via
the tly route.
Selfishness is responsible for
more sorrow in the world than
anything else.
There must be organized
strength, harmoniously working
together to build a city.
An "ad" in your local paper is
the advance agent that goes
ahead and-creates the desire.
The man who boosts intelli-
ently, truthfully and persistently
is truly a builder of builders.
The merchant who talks most-
ly about hard times doesn't ad
vertlse in his home paper.
Lots of people pretend pro
gressiveness, but their actions
give this the denial. After all,
actions are what count.
The booster has his uses as
well as the builder •the rooster
is a booster, but as a laying
proposition he does not amount
to much.
A man who wouldn't light for
his town in a pinch shouldn't
feel peeved if the town lays down
upon him at a critical moment.
On 1 y hard
work receives a
recompense.
C o - operation
is the farmer's
salvation.
The secret of
success is con-
stancy of pur-
pose.
Power is per-
manent when it is a product of
principle.
One of the greatest problems
of civilization is to eliminate the
parasite.
Tomorrow may never come but
the wise farmer plans for it just
the same.
No man ever climbed the lad-
der of success with his hands in
his pockets.
Progress is not only desirable
and necessary but it is natural
and inevitable.
Hands that work and brains
that think are the silent partners
of successful farming.
The person who expects some-
thing for nothing usually
harvests a good crop of expecta-
tions.
Don't forget good health when
you take an inventory of your
assets; its value outranks all
others,
Farm products are increased
in value by getting them where
needed at the proper time. Good
roads increase values.
The greatest need of the Texas
farmer is cheap money and bet-
ter marketing methods. The
city man should stand behind
the farmer instead of standing
in front of him.
Good roads annihilate distance
and cancel space. They bring
the farmer nearer the market
and place the city man in closer
touch with nature,
