The golden rule is still golden.
This fall promises to he a busy
one In McKinney.
Now Is the time to get the split'
log drag In operation.
No town in Texas offers better
inducements as a cotton market than
McKinney, ,
Negative virtues are all right, but
they don't accomplish much for the
good of humanity.
Here's some mighty good advice
from the Farmersville Times:
Are you just letting your boy
grow up, or are you Instilling into
his character principles of honor
and truthfulness? Keep his mind
employed—give his faculties an op*
portunity to expand. An unused
piece of machinery soon rusts. The
same principle applies to your boy's
mind and character.
Uig page and half page ads in the
local newspapers, says an exchange,
are the worst shot any town gives
the mall order house. They tell of
tirstclass goods at prices that no
mall order house can beat. They tell
of goods the customer can see be-
fore he lets go of the money. You
can see what you can buy. The
merchant who has goods to sell
sells them at mall order margin of
profit and tells his story through a
newspaper that is read by the peo-
ple. That makes the most vital
way of breaking up the mail order
business.
There Is plenty of money in Mc-
Kinney for the establishment of sev-
eral paying factories.
A good many people mistake their
chronic laziness aud general moss-
hucklsm for conservatism.
Mw Fanners of Collin County, bring
your cotton to McKinney and receive
the highest market price for it.
A wise Kentucky editor observes
that some of us are made on the or-
der of billboards, u flashy front with
n vacant lot behind,
The Oklahoma campaign Is draw-
ing to a close and ir« growing hotter
with each succeeding day. Oklaho-
ma is long on politics.
Hon Rice Maxey of Sherman has
broken Into the pasture of Hon. A.
Perl Barrett. On with the dance. -
Dallas Times Herald.
McKinney merchants have the
right goods and the right prices.
Do your trading with them aud you
will make no mistake.
Th^re is a vast difference between
u chronic knocker and an earnest
kicker. The knocker does only
harm, but the kicker often rights a
great many wrongs.
Don't look continually on the
dark side of life or business condi-
tions. Remember that behind every
cloud is the sun still shining.
Bryan is giving the voters of
Oklahoma something to think about.
His visit assures the success of the
entire democratic ticket in the new
& State. ^
President Bule and the Texas
press gang are shoulder to should-
er with Dallas for the success of
this year's Fair. The press boys al-
ways do their part. Dallas Times-
Herald.
The right of contract has been
vindicated. The Attorney General
has ruled that contracts made with
the railroads for transportation be-
fore the pussage of ih ' anil-pass
law. are not abrogated by the law.
The State of Texas has again
scored against the octopus, the In-
ternational Harvester Company hav-
ing pleaded guilty to being a trust,
and belnjr heavily fined, also forfeit-
ing its permit to do business la
Texas. Life Is not "one grand
sweet song"' lo the octopi these days.

Good intentions are all right, but
of themselves they will accomplish
very little.—McKinney Courier-Ga-
zette.
Good Intentions are only the be-
ginning and they come easily, ll is
carrying them out that lo so hard.—
San Antonio Express.

Senator Looney says the reason
the papers criticise the Thirtieth
Legislature Is because the Thirtieth
Legislature took their passes away
from them. Which Is not true. The
Thirtieth Legislature took the news-
paper's right of contract away from
them because the newspapers had
demanded that free passes be cut off
from executive officials who had
the power to punish or reward the
railroads at the expense of public j
office. Which Is true. Denton Rec-
ord and Chronicle.
The Record and Chronicle has the
record straight. In Justice to the
press, now. senator, please keep It
straight.- McKinney Courier-Ga-
zette.
Do not be too hard on the sena-
tor, It was only the expression of
the spirit of ' tit for t;it" bubbling
over the brimful patriotic hearts of
the legislators.—Wylle Rustler.
«
Forgive your enemies even if It
lakes the "hide off." We have done
this several times during our life,
and every time we feel much better.
Try It. McKinney Courier-Gazette.
The Courier-Gazette editor is ev-
idently a good man and does not be-
lieve in the doctrine of hate being
taught by an eminent character In
Texas just at this time. He would
not chase his enemies Into the gulf,
and those failing to be submerged
he would not teach his t hlldren to
remember with malice. It takes a
good man to forgive his enemies
and lose his hide at the same time.
The McKinney editor Is one of them
and If a newspaper man Is ever ad-
mitted to the circle of the beatified
the Bee will Insist the editor of The
Courier-Gazette be entitled to the
distinction of being Hie only subject
of cnnnonl/.atloii found in a news-
paper office.- Heeville Bee.
Won't he be so lonesome "up
there" that it will be In the nature
of punishment? There will lie no
marriages, no divorces, no scraps,
no wrecks; there will be only arriv-
als to report and no departures.
There will bo no one to scoop and
no one to boust to of past exploits.
A dull old place, it seems lo us. —

It Is positively to the personal ad-
vantage of every man In a communi-
ty that tbe roads In the community
are In good condition, and for this
reason It Is surprisingly strange that
so few men feel or take a real lively
Interest In the subject of public

. After getting through boosting
your town go out and use the split-
log drag. Then use the split-log
drug again. This recipe If followed
to the letter will help to make you
a better man. Try It. It will do
you good.—Purls Advocate.

Just a little while now. after a
good mellow rain has fallen, and
the split-log drag will be put to

Denton County has three convict
gangs and not enough convicts to
keep one convict gang filled. They
are run at an expense of from two
to five hundred dollars per month
for each of them. Why not consol-
idate them into one good gaug and
let each commissioner have the ser-
vices of the gang .*or three months
In the year. Let the gang build
permanent roads and when a piece
of road passes through the hands of
the gang let It be fixed so that It
will be years before If needs atten-
tion again. If may be slower than
the old way of scratching over a
whole lot of road and doing no per-
manent good, but It will win in the
long run. Would It. not be better
for the county to quit scattering Its
shot at good roads and put in Its
best licks and muke some roud that
will be a matter or pride to the
people. Our roads will be here after
we ure all dead and gone. Let us
fix them so they will be good ones
alter we are forgotten. It Is cheap-
er in the long run.—Denton County
News.

The Board of Trade, which by
the way Is going to have the biggest,
membership tills year in Its history,
is going to take hold of the good
roads proposition, and try to devise
some practical way v*" reby the
county can have better and more
permanent roads. In the meantime
the county court Is directing some
good work in this line, and some
really good roads are being con-
structed. Palestine Herald.

That, about one-third of the
Kchool children of the United
Stat'-s, or about 12,000,000 boys
and alrls, are behind their proper
grades because of physical defects
thill could be remedied, is tin1 gist
of a report made by a committee of
prominent educators, headed by
raCharh>s C. Burllngham, former pres-
ident of the Board of Education of
New York. These are startling fig-
ures and call for prompt remedial
action.
Rev. M. F. Wheeler, Baptist
county missionary, lias returned
from Foote where he preached Sun-
day evening and raised $700 at the
meeting for the erection of a first-

PIPE LINE IS
COMPLETED
The pipe line run through this
county west of town, from the Tulsa,
I. T. oil fields, la completed to Dal-
las. and the Dallas News has the
following concerning It:
All of the 270 miles of eight-Inch
main for the oil line of the Texas
Company, connecting Tulsa and Dal-
las. have been made of the carrying
capacity of the line to the West
Dallas pumping station and that the
result was satisfactory. The line
will be pushed steadily onward, and
It is Intended to have It completed
to Kleanor by Oct. 1 and the load-
ing facilities Installed there. The
line will be In operation Into Port
Arthur, If the plans carry well, by
the beginning of the year.
From Tulsa to Dallas there are
stx pumping stations. These are
made necessary from the fact that
there Is a greatly rolling country
and that the line follows the sur-
fur • In its lips and down. South-
wait! from Dallas the land lies
more smoothly und there will be but
three stations for pumping.
Out In West Dallas there are
twelve great tanks of steel ready for
the storing of the oil that will flow
down from the Glenn Pool at Tulsa.
Each of these tanks will hold 37,600
harrrels of oil, or 2,2")0,000 gallons.
While the full from Tulsa to Dallas
would glvo a flow of oil by gravity,
the pumping Is aimed to give almost
a tunkful a day. The total storage
capacity there is 450,000 barrels,
or about 27,000,000 gallons. The
tanks are scattered about over a
270-acre farm, with ample safety
precautions between the tanks.
It Is stated that the cost of the
pipe line with the pumping stations
will, with the necessary tanks and
tank curs, cost In the neighborhood
of $5,000,000.
