friends for Individuals or families said
to be needy for -Carious reasons. The.
sum and substance of the situation is
that the people or Brownwood have
been yielding up a considerable sum
of money to uninvestigated and pos-
sibly unworthy charity instead of em.
ploying thejfacilities of the organized
Charity Association which is being
efficiently administrated by the local
Pastors' Association.
It is neither heartless nor selfish to
refer a beggar to the Charity Associa
tion for trie assistance sought. The
'.Association is organized and main
tained for that -very purpose and in
its administration the Pastors Asso-
ciation acts promptly and conscienti-
ously. There are many professional
beggars hero who'prefer to beg rather
than to earn a living and who are
always fortified with a soul-stirring
story of illness and hardship. To givo
them assistance without first inves
tigating their need and its causes is
but to- encourage thriftlessness and
dishonesty.. On the other hand there
aTe from time to time families anil
individuals who are really worthy of
assistance and many people feel that
it is their duty to .contribute to all
appeals for help lest by refusal they
miss an opportunity to aid the latter
class. The Paslors Association does
not guess about the situation. Every
call that comes is investigated prompt-
ly and thoroughly and where "help is
needed it is given in generous mea-
sure wnere neip is noi requirea u

comes to the Pastors has been answer-

PIE PRELIMINARY work of arrang-
ing the budget of the Chamber of
Commerce for 1324 is under way and
merchants and other business men
are considering the question of how
much thoir subscriptions to the organ-
ization for the new year shall be.
Slany have voluntarily announced their
intention to increase their subscrip-
tions and it is thought that many
others will do so when- the completed
budget- is presented and the campaign
for financing is launched.
It is certain that the 1924 budget
will. -be larger than that of 1923. The
demands 'which will be made upon the
Chamber. of Commerce during the com-
"ixig yoar will be very heavy not only
in oosaection with the entertainment
cf the many conventions which are
scheduled to meet here but on account
of the general industrial and develop-
ment program of the organization. It
is hoped that some kind of plan may
be evolved which will relieve the city
of JHOHt of the

tioa self-supporting from aj enter-
tainment standpoint. But even with
the utmost care in the expenditure of

Now that winter has set in you will find that feeding- cottonseed meal
and hullp to your milk jtock will prove advantageous. Cottonseed
hulls are clean aweet appetizing roughage free from dirt sticks weei
and ether foreign matter usually found in hay. Cottonseed meal is
the highest protein bearing feed known and a combination of the two
produces a very satisfactory- balanced ration. You can produce more
milk on less money feeding cottonseed meal and hulls.
