It Is no trouble to be courageous when everything is

THOSE NATURAL PARTNERS.
These are the days when you need your premises con-
nected with' a sanitary Bewer in order that your family
may not be exposed to disease.
Governor Colquitt has announced speaking dates at
Amarillo and McKlnney The Governor is taking an ac-
tive part againBt state-wide prohibition.
President Taft has tfonned his war clothes and informed
the Senate that he will v6to any reciprocity bill carry
ing an amendment. Likewise he will put the fixing on
any tariff measure
Tho Yoakum Bplrit is spreading and working
Tho farmers and the rnllroiUls arc sure enough natural
ptirtnors and all olnBses are coming to see more clearly
what Colonel Yoakum pointed out some two yenrs ago In
Oklahoma and which at tho Umo many were disposed to
consider a Joke. The Breeders Gazette pf Chicago snys:
"Tho agricultural missionary work of thc railways him
assumed great proportions. Generally It lifts been di-
rected toward tho exploitation of new regions where t'hti
steel track lias been recently proJecMl. The aim has
been to stimulate the production of crops and create
a mrtrkct for manufacturers so that a two-way freight
traffic might be rapidly developed Prosperous agri-
cultural communltlcsc Blipport the railways by the busi-
ness and traffic which they create. Neither tho farmer
nor the railway can prosper independently. But ttn in-
crease of traffic from old communities Is really worth
moro than fresh traffic in new territory because It h
handled over old rondbceds nnd with new equipment ex
ceept an increase in rolling stock. The first step toward
the best agricultural practico is to reqlaco defective and
wasteful methods with those which may be followed just
ns readily and which giv'e Increased yields. Tho rail-
ways can be of Immense aitt to American farmers by
carrying to their homo towns the positive proof that
modern scientific agriculture pays. And it pays the rail-
ways to teach this lesson." .
On which the "Wall Street Journal- makes tills com-
ment:
"Demonstration trains have done wondeers not only
In the newer agricultural regions but alsd in tho older
states. In an orchard district of Ohio at one of whose
townB a New York Central farm train recently tarried
nineteen spraying outfits were sold Immediately following
a demonstration that this method afforded an effective
mode or insurance against defective fruit and against
Insect ravages. To anyone who remembers when granger
legislation was running riot in tho preposterous effort
to paralyze railroad development the change in relations
Is full of significance and hope."
Beyond question as the Chicago rap3r suggests it is
to the advantage of the railroads to do all tills In old or
new states. .
It is also greatly advantageous to the individual farm-
ers and to the land they live in.
It's benefit that runs in several directions .Increasing
railroad tonnage and agricultural profits and enhancing
the value of taxable property of many kinds in the
States.
May the good partnership go on indefinitely anld Colonel
Yoakum its discoverer live long and prosper continually.
Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
No business man will succeed it he seeks to build up
his business on the harm he can do his competitor. Jt
is also true In town building. You can't build a city op
the short comings of some other town. The way to build
up a town is to push her interests an every body work
In harmony.
Wichita Falls is discussing the advisability of raising
a fund of $5000.00 to be donated Us a bonus to the first
oil or gas well to bo brought In near thatcit y. Abilene
might profit by taking up a similar proposition. Cheap
fuel is what we need.
Tho investigation pf the Lorimer matter continues to
Vgrow more interesting as the days come and go. Tho
"big boss" is attending the committee meetings and sits
quietly through its sessions. So far as this paper is
concerned it has reached a vertljct aid Jr Is that Lorimer
is not entitled to his seat in the Senate but we have
.great faith in the present committeee
The Texas vital and mortuary reeport for April shows
that the births of whites more than double the number o!
tleathB in that race while tho number of deaths reported
for tho blacks exceeds tho number of births. Such a
disparity of birth and death rates is frequently Bhown but
It may prve nothing but that tho Btntistios for tho ne-
groes are very unreliable.
Tho Texas horse has contributed more toward tho
progress of tho country than auy other animal an flour
philanthropists as clvillzers must all take off their hats
to this dumb brute. During the past quarter of a qen-
tury he has given away more thaa half his occupations to
the cauBo of science and scientific discoveries and lnven?
tors are now operating In his remaining territory but he
lias more than held hie own in value and he is today the
unit of power by which all his competitors must meas-
ure potential nergy
The announcement by Dr. Flexner of the Rockefeller
Institute that they have at last discovered the germ
or rather its presence for the strongest microscope fails
to reveal it which is responsible for infantile paralysis
will bring widespread hope and joy. Starting In Sweden
and Norway twenty-five years ago this insidious and
easily infeectlous disease has traveled to many countries.
Neither preventive nor remedy has thus far been found j
and "While not always fatal the after effects or crippled
muscles or weakened mind have frequently made recovery
more to be regretted than death. The action of the germ
is to attack the marrow of the spine and the brain. In-
fection is imparted through nasal discharges which often"
last for several weeks and after recovery is well advanc-
ed. The infection may be carried by those in godd
health who not taking the disease themselvese may
carry it to others. Now that the cause Is definitely loca
ted we are assured it will be less difficult to find the'
remedy. H. rf. Windsor in the July Popular Mechanics
Magazine.

Ant! prohibition papers are seeking to make much of
the figures recently made public that 20000000 gallons of
booze was shipped Into prohibition territory last year by
mail order houses. They fail to give the amount which
was consumed in scaloon territory by the same number
of people. A'nother thing that looks funny to a man up
a tree Is that fact .that saloon Interests fight prohibition
so hard If it does not prohibit. Whiskey people are nt
in the business for their health or to build up morals
and if they can do as some claim made more money
unller prohibition laws by running blind tigers wo do
not believe the big breweries would be spending -nilllons
to defeat prohibition. Abilene la an example of what
prohibition will do. Still there Js lfot a day that whiskey
is not shipped in but tho amount is nothing compared
to what waB consumed under saloon rule. The influ-
ence of the saloon on the young men of the city la
also removed and that is one of tho greatest benefits of
prohibition.
An Associated Press dispatch under a Chicago dateline
says: The most dlstresisng thing to the' housewives of
Chicago just now Is the niggardly purchasing power of a
dollar In the vegetable anil fruit stores of the city. Prices
of potatoes have reached the highest ever known. Mew
potatoes sold on South Wator street yesterday at $0.40 a
barrel That meariB that thq grocer tho. vegetable store
map and tlio peddler paid $2.50 a bushel for them Thq
housewives paid 75 cents a. peck. This condition of af-
fairs is due say wholesalers to the fact that the south-
west potato crops this Beason are practically failures
Forty cars of potatoes are required dally to supply the
normal domand of the city. Yesterday only thrfo cars
arrived. The average dally recelptB during the last
several weeks have been about twenty-seven cars.
By which you may profit favor us
with your grocery patronage and re-
duce your grocery bills.

"The Ideal city is not one in which the beautiful alone Is
considered but one In which thero is a combination of
health and beauty and this can be obtained only by what
wo may term team work on thq part of all municipal offi-
cials with the health officer as tlo leader backed up by
an enllghteneid and educated public For without the as-
sistance of the citizens of a city and their moral support;
no campaigns for cleanliness decency and health can be
effected. The competition among cities Is today of such
a character that no city may expect to be successful
without .giving ample consideration to all the conditions
that tend to promote Its public health.- Co-operation of
officials should be voluntary and active ;co operation of the
people can be easily obtained by education." Mayor)

A BANK ACCOUNT
AT WORK FOR YOU
Is the best insurance against hard luck
and hard times. Your common sense tells
you to save. We all agree that it is the best
course; then why not put some money
away now? You may not always be able
to earn as much as you arc earning today
Better get over on the safe side by open-
ing a savings account with this bank. It
is surprising how quickly and how easily
you can have a good sized bank account
if you will devote a little thought to sav-
ing a part of your income and put a little
determination behind the wish to save
money. We pay 4 per cent on savings
accounts credited quarterly.
