The Randall County Neva baa
done Itself a great honor in a apecial
iasue w.iich it pleaaed to call the
Panhandle State Fair Edition, in
which not only the fair at Amarillo
is given prominence, but the city of
Canyon and the county of which it ia
the capital, is given a aplendid write
up. To get out such an iaaue re-
quires a good deal of time and effort
and a large outlay of the circulating
medium, not to say a bit of qualified-
ness of the editor. The Northwest
Texas State Normal is shown in its
working condition by means of suit-
able pictures and the county's re-
sources are not forgotten. Last but
not least, is the evidence of prosper-
ity on the part of the business men
of Canyon whose several fine looking
ads make a good impression on other
business men of other towns. The
Brand extends its congratulations to
the editor of the News and his faith-
ful shop force.
Every visitor to Hereford remarks
about the fine lot of trees in the city.
They are at once attracted tc th -
beau.iful setting they give the town
Only this week, a gentleman and his
fister were prospecti ig here and the-
large number of shade trees and cr
chards were subjects of favorable
comment. They remarked thai
Hereford had more trees than the
larger places of the Panhandle and
more than many towns of larger pro-
portions. , They were comtemplfttiugi
making a change of residence arm
the trees were one of the attractions
of Hereford. It therefore becomes
the duty of every home owner and
lot owner to see that the trees al-
ready growing should be properly
cared for and that mote trees should
be planted, so that in time every
street would be an avenue of waving
branches. To aee, though, how
some of the citizens are allowing
their trees to suffer and die for the
lack of attention is painful to the eye
of the other beauty loving people.
Don't let your trees die, don't.
And there is another argument
that falls flat as a pan cake. Some
merchants feel sore about the way
their customers send off for groceries
and dry goods and yet every ticket
and bill for goods sold is made out
on mail order counter pads. They
argue: if the merchant can overlook
the local print shop in the matter of
bill heads and counter pads, why
should he feel disappointed if his
cuitomers should occasionally break
over his desire and order a shipment
of goods from a mail order h9use.
The Brand believes that what is
"good for the goose is good for the
gander." Trading at home should
apply to the merchants as well as to
others. But some have said : we can
get printing done to much cheaper
in K. C. or Dallas. That's exactly
the argument of all who send off for
goods. But the Brand doubft that
the city print shop can do any ordin-
ary job of printing as cheaplyjas the
local shop. Compare the job, the
quantity and the price. *
Ui.ric Clifton has assumed charge
of the destinies of the Dimmitt
Plainsman and the evidences of his
genius is teen in the improved me-
chanical appearancejjof the paper.
The Dimmitt merchants, however,
are failing to take advantage of the
influence of the paper in not running
some good Jive ads every week.
They need not try to console them-
selves by thinking the people do not
read the ads, for they do Look at
the daily perusal of the mail order
catalogs, they are read more con
stantlv and more often than the fam-
ily bible; and they will re^d your
ads too, if you will put the price and
the nicture in to show that you mean
business. Come out in the open;
the people can't be fooled any longer
with glittering generalities, and they
are surely going to buy where they
think their money will go the further-
est no matter how much argument
you or we may put up about trading
at home. The way to get the folks,
who have money to spend, to spend
it at home, is to make the prices and
make the prices right. Advertise in
your home paper and the people will
trade at home.
? :14. We spend approximately
$7,500,000 per annum on publio
highways sod $3,000,000 annually
on paved streets. Of this amount
$4,000,000 is raised by bond issues
and $3,500,000 by taxation. We
speud on an average of $2.00 per
aunutn per capita on our roadf and
the average in the United Stated is
$1.55. We have four per cent of our
public highways classed us "improv-
ed" and the average in the United
States nine per cent.
There is no better investment
tliun money intelligently spent on
public highways and every dollar ill-
vested in road improvement adds
three times its value to adjoining
property and every argument that
applies to the improvement of pri-
vate property will apply with muti-
plied force to the improvement of
public property, and especially to
public highways, as every farmer
must, use the roadu.
There are many important lessons
that can be learned from the good!
roads exhibit at the State Fair of
Texas at Dallas, Oct. 18 to Nov. 2.
Avoid Sedatin Cough Medicines.
If you want to contribute directly to the
occurrence of capillary bronchitis and pneu-
monia, use cough nivdicioes that contain
coding, morphine, heroin and other aedativee
when you nave a cough or cold. An expec-
torant like Chamberlain'* Cough Kemedy ia
what is needed. It cleans out the culture
beds or breeding placet* for the germs of
pneumonia and other genu diaeaaSa. That
is why pneumonia never results from a cold
when Chamberlain's Cough remedy is used.
It has a world wide reputation for its cures.
It contains no morphine or other sedative.

ROAD BUILDING.
Demonstration Work and Ma-
chinery on Exhibition at
the Dalian Fair.
Building a public highway is the
most important human event of this
age and intelligent construction of
roads the greatest triumph in mod-
ern science. It is Authoritatively es-
timated that sixty cents of every
dollar spent on public highways is
wasted through faulty construction
or in unwise methods of mainte-
nance.
The exhibits of road machinery
and model roads will be a public
highway institute that every per-
son who visits the Siate Fair of Tex-
as at Dallas should attend.

The improvement of our public
highways is the most stupendous
problem confronting the people of
Texas today. We have 140,000 miles
of public highways and 4,052 miles
are surfaced with stone, gravel or
similar materials. We spend approx-
imately $53.G0 per mile per annum
on public highways. The per cent
of public highways improved in Tex-
as is 3.2 and in the United State#
