Paint or Not,
Is a horse worth more or less

Hay and oats are high today;
shall I wait today and feed him
tomorrow?
That's how men do about
painting their houses and barns
and fences. Paint has been high
for several years; and so they
have waited. Paint is high yet;
they are still waiting; thousands
of'em are waiting for paint to
fall.
Their property drops a trifle a
yeur and the next job of paint,
creeps-upcreeps-upcreeps-up; it'll
take more paint by a gallon a
year; they don't save a cent, and
the property goes-on suffering.

KING COTTON WILL SIT ON
HIS THRONE AT THE TEXAS
COTTON PALACE.
All
The Fleecy Staple Shown in 1
Forms From Planting
to Making Cloth.
Cotton shown in all its forms from
the plant to cloth will be one of
the leading educational features of
(lie Cotton Palace at Waco Opening
November 1st and" r-Iosing Novem-
ber ltith.
All the subjects of King Cotton
will assemble at tlic Palace. The by-
products of,both lint and seed will
sit around the tliro'ic in the order
of their importance and the man-
ufacturing processes will be demon-
strated in important instances. It is
His re all subjects will give an annual
account to their king and the rec-
ord will be one of glorious conquest
and achievement. By visiting the
throne room of King Cotton, one
will be convinced that the half has
never been told.
In the production of cotton per
capita We excel any. other country
on the globe, and without our
cotton the world would ga naked
and shiver with cold. Civilization
has assigned to Texas'the monumen-
tal task of clothing 300,000,000 peo-
ple. To perform this gigantic mis-
sion, a half million plows must turn
12,000,000 acres of fertile soil per
annum and over 2,000,000 people
cultivate myraids of plants whose
tiny looms weave from earth and air
a fleecy staple that runs -1 ,(500 gins,
operates compresses, runs 104
oil mills that crush 2,000,000 tons
of reed, runs 30,000,000 spindlos
and fills the counters of two hemis-
pheres with the most serviceable rai-
ment the world has e\tr known. The
story of the growth, utility and
power of the world's greatest indus-
try will be presented in a most con-
vincing and unforgetebfe manner.
The whir of the machinery as it
takes the fibre from tbo boll and
transforms it into a beautiful gar-
ment for tlie wardrobe of mankind,
is one of the most instructive and
important lessons in Twentieth ccn-
tury civilization.
The turning of cottonsecd from
waste into profit is the most won-
derful industrial achievement of the
age. The seed, considered worth-
less a quarter of a century ago, now
brings the Texas farni"r $40,000,000
per auuum. The by-products of this
marvelous seed arc legior and they
will be on exhibition at tbo Palace,
«8<sh telling a simple story of u#«-
fulness and power.

Texas Millers Heavy Purchasers

Wheat.
Industry Susceptible to Mar-
velous Development.
The flour mills of Texas consti-
tute one of the most important in-
dustries in the State. According to
the Federal census report of 1910,
wc have 238 mills, employing 1,890
people and representing an invest-
ment. of $13,219,000. The industry
has shown an increase of 1.1.8 mills
and an increase of investment dur-
ing the past decade of $9,236,000
and now ranks third among our in-
dustries as to capital aud second in
value of its output.
Wo have a flour milling capacity
of 7,800,000 barrels annually. The
average consumption per capita is
about one barrel per annum or ap-
proximately 4,000,000 barrels, leav-
ing 3,800,000 barrels to seek an ex-
port market. A few mills not able
to enter the export trade have been
compelled to shut down for want of
a market, although a million barrels
of foreign flour are sold in Texas
each year. The patronage of home
industry would open these mills arid
give employment to .500 people and
increase the demand for wncat raised
by the Texas farmers.
The miller is perhaps the only
manufacturer in Texas that has out-
grown the raw material produced on
our farms. Wo produced hist year
11,025,000 bushels of wheat which
is 26,000,000 below the annual ca-
pacity of the mills. The Texas mill-
ers are heavy purchasers of Okla-
homa and Kansas wheat. A number
of the Texas mills have built up an
extensive export trade with Central
America, Cuba, Porto Hieo, and
quite a few of them go to England
and the Continent with a consider-
able bulk of their output.
The opening of the Panama canal
will -enlarge the marketing r.one of
the Texas output and call for an in-
crease iy the area of our wheat fields,
but both tho farmer and the miller
need the friendship of the consumer
in building up our flour industry.

Specula lion
Jacksonville Reformer: We un-
derstood that a stranger who
was strolling about iu .Jackson-
ville last night got two blocks
away from the business bortion
of tho city and was lost. We do
not understand what was the
cause. It, might have been that
our towri is so very quiet after
tho business bouses close, or it
might have been on accoont of
the poor street light system, or
the fellow might have just a rived
From Palestine; aud there are a
good many reasons*, but we un-
derstand he was lost, just the
same.
Maybe the stranger was a blind
man looking for a blind tiger to
Htay all nijiht with. You remem-
ber the story of the inebriated

. r .
tain at the park one night, and,
after spluttering arousd a while,
he cough t the flash of a police
man's lantern. "Thank heaven"
said the inebriate, "a lighthouse
at last!", .lust as the British
rounder was under the impres-
sion that he was swimming the
English Channel, so your strang-
er might have imagined that he
was exploring the Matnmoth
