THE BULLETIN'S 'EW DRESS.
The Brownwood Bulletin beginning
with its Issue of last Saturday became
a Seven column paper instead of a
six column one as in the past. The
Bulletin has. put in a new press and
has doubled its Associated Press tele-
graph service and It announces- Its in-
tention of making further improve-
ments as business warrants. The
first number that appeared in the new
form announced that arrangements
liad been made to increase materially
the volume of local news. that would
'hi printed and that special attention
would be given to the oil develop-
ment In the Brownwood field. San
Angelo Standard.
Then along comes the Ballinger
Ledger with thi3 observation: "That
is just a little sample of what an oil
boom will do for a town. Less 'than
six months ago an oil Loom struck
Brownwood and as usual the news-
paper is the first to put on city ways
We congratulate the Bulletin on being
located over a lake of oil and here's
hoping it will set examples we can
follow when the oil begins to gush in
Runnels county.
THE HOARDER.
A quantity of flour hoarded by. a
farmer near Brownwood . has been
seized by the food administration. The
man who hoards flour now Is de-
liberately taking fqod out of the
mouths of American soldiers and crip
pled children and tired mothers on
the other side of the Atlantic. The
entire county feels a sense of shame
that a case of hoarding has been un-
earthed here and hopes that it is the
last that there are no more Brown
county citizens who -will deliberately
violate the laws of their country and
the laws of humanity in order to sat-
isfy their own appetites.
A spring garden is the best invest-
ment a citizen can make. The vege-
tables produced will materially re-
duce the cost of living for the family
and the exercise obtained in working
the garden will be worth a great deal
to any city workers. The government
has arranged for an extra nour of
daylight for all people working regu-
lar hours and this time should be
spent in some profitable recreation;
and no recreation is better than gar-
dening. Plant a garden by all means
and water it and work it and make
it productive.
THE CHIDING OF FRIENDS.
Lest some one mistake the spirit of
friendly chiding which has long ex-
isted between this editor and The
Parson we hasten to explain that
The Parson has had to say ia his
"Colyum" failed to raise a single
blister. "Whom the Lord loveth He
chasteneth" we are told and it was
long ago demonstrated that Tiie Par-
son never "takes a crack" at some-
body whom ho dislikes unless he Is
at a safe distance. Anyhow we still
contend that his poetry about the con-
crete traffic posts was rotten just as
we said before his explosion of last
Saturday.
A NATION UNITED.
Let us. then stand by. the constitu-
tion as it is; and by our country as
Jt is one united and entire; let It be
a truth engraven on our hearts; let it
be borne QiTihc flag under which we
rally in every exigency that we have
one country one constitution one des-
tiny. Daniel Webster.
. Corsicana voters have authorized a
bond issue of four hundred thousand
dollars for waterworks improvements
Brownwood is going to have to vote
a large sum In bonds to increase the
water supply here in preparation for
the bigger Brownwood which we all
hope will soon be built here. Im-
provements cost money but they are
essential to progress:
' primary Tuesday in wmcto only wnue
citizens voted and a large number of
women went to the polls. Now ttmt
the movement has been started the
ice broken so to speak It is up to
all the women of Texas to go to the
polls next July and vote for good gov
ernment through good officials
The beans and peas and radishes
and lettuce are coming up in scores
of war gardens in Brownwood and
their owners are almost as 'proud of
them as they were of their first war
stamp. Somehow the fellow with a
war garden feels that he is vastly
superior to the neighbor without one.
Three thousand quarts of whiskey
were destroyed at Wichita Falls a day
or two ago shortly after the town
went dry under the ten-mile zone act.
Arrests were made in connection with
the raid on Illicit whiskey.
It has been estimated that the mor
lamy of children is seven times
greater than tho mortality of soldiers
In the trenches. What an indictment
of American home conditions!
Buy a Liberty Bond and then buy
another and a Thrift Stamp.

"NEXT TO FATHER. ;
(By Roger W. Babson.j
"To whom do you feel most srate-
ful outside of your own family?"
Ask this question of the next ton
fellows whom you meet and they will
answer; "The man who gave me my
first job."
Think yourself who he was in your
case. You know how kindly you feel
toward him and what you would do
for him if he got Into trouble and
needed (help. Tou know how you
would like to be the one to give his
son his first job. Next to father
there are very few Then for whom
you would do as much as for the man
who gave you your first job.
Gustav Sinnsburg was an ugly un-
ruly fellows. He was always "cuss-
ing" the government. He was "agin"
everything and everybody. For that
reason he had great trouble In getting
a job and in holding one after he got
it. He was especially tetter against
the private employment offices which
had taken his good money and which
had done little or nothing for him in
return.
One day Gustav droppied into one
of the offices of the United States em-
ployment service. The fact that he
was treated so well and way asked for
no deposit made him suspicious at
first! He thought that- her sure was
up against a bunch of crooks. "They
were altogether too nice" he said to
his pal. However the manager of the
United States employment survice got
him a position and a good position
too.
Ever since that day Gustav Sinns
burg has been a good loyal friend of
Uncle Sam. He now feels the Bame
toward the United States government
as you feel toward the man who start-
ed you out in business and put you
on the road to health happiness and
independence.
The work of the United States De-
partment or Labor is not merely to
find men for jobs and to find jobs for
men. The real work of the Depart-
ment of Labor is to make friends for
Uncle Sam; to make loyal enthus-
iastic citizens of glumpy sour knock-
ers; to make the people of tlio Unit-
ed States realize that our government
is worth fighting for yes. Is worth dy-
ing for. !
We can get an army by drafting1
men; we can raise money by taxing
men; but we can make friends only by
serving men. The United States De-
partment of Labor is the great friend
maker of the government. It wants
to help every employer wage earner
and consumer. It is helping thou-
sands and thousands every week right
now. Mr. Employer and Mr. Wage
Earner Is it helping you today? If
not write them your troubles and let
them do what they can for you. There
is no charge.

IIOBHY EXDOKSED.
Secretary McAdoo says the one aim
of the United States and . all of its
loyal citizens .is to win the war.
Therefore the secretary endorsed all
movements calculated to promote this
purpose and all citizens who aid such
movements.
Speaking a few days ago at Beau-
mont Mr. McAdoo congratulated Gov-
ernor Hobby in these words: "I re-
joice in the splendid war measures of
the last special session of your Legis-
lature and let me congratulate you
on the great governor of your state
who was in a. large degree respon-
sible for this magnificent aid which
Texas has rendered toward the win-
ning of the war for the allies.
"Speaking now in the home town of
this governor I want to congratulate
you as his fellow citizens upon his
achievements."
All Texas is to be congratulated
that there is a man In the executive
chair at Austin who possesses large
Vision unquestioned patriotism and a
thorough realization of the needs of
his country. . v

ed tho home of this farmer he found
