TERRELL PROPHESIES
TWELVE CENT COTTON
Little Ervin Teggeman, four years
old, son of Mr. and Mrs. Eric Tegge-
man, was run over by a car driven by
H. C. Hoffman of Bastrop and very
seriously injured Sunday while the
'relatives and friends of the Frank
Werchen family, on Turkey Creek
were gathered together for the Easter
celebration. The children were play-
ing when Mr. Hoffman of Bastrop,
quite suddenly left the yard in his car,
failing to see the little child in the
path of the car and completely passed
over the child's body before the car
could be stopped. Up until a late
hour the child was in a very critical
condition at the Taylor Sanitarium,
with little hope for his recovery as
the abdomen was badly crushed by the
weight of the car.—Taylor Press.

Commissioner of Agriculture Favor*
Reduction in Acreage, and Pre-
dicts Advice Will Not be Taken
Edenberg, Texas, March 27.—
Twelve cent cotton was predicted for
this year by George B. Terrell, state
Commissioner of agriculture, who »s
here today on a valley inspection trip.
He said that he believed the price
would not go above twelve cents.
Although he will not make his re-
port on acreage until June, he pre-
dicted a planting of more than 18,-
000,000 acres in Texas alone, and said
the indications are that a tremendous
crop would be made despite the cam-
paign for reduced acreage.
Dallas, Texas, March 27.—Threats
from the west Texas farmers that if
the growers of the black land belt
don't raise more feed crops the west
Texans will grow enough cotton to
force the price down have been re-
ceived at headquarters of the Texas
eafe farming association which is
making a drive for more cotton on
fewer acres.
D. E. Jordan, a west Texas farmer
with 1,500 acres, declares that if cen-
tral Texas wants cheap cotton he will
help them raise it because he said
he could raise cheap cotton cheaper
than they could.
His argument is that by putting
most of their land in cotton and re-
fusing to raise their own feed, the
central and south Texas farmers are
bringing down the price of cotton
everywhere. He declares it is use-
less to raise feed crops for sale be-
cause the freight rates eat up all the
profits.
The Elgin Courier: The Elgin
High School girls came out in a body,
all wearing sport hose, discarding the
expensive silk hose until the sciiool
is out, in order that their parents can
afford to support the school bond is-
sue. They estimate that the money
saved on their hose for the next three
months will go a long ways toward
paying the additional tax, should the
bond issue carry.
Fine, fine for the Elgin girls. It
proves that they can sacrifice some-
thing much esteemed by them when
the common good is to be advanced.
It takes a good deal of money to keep
a girl family in silk hose. But when
all the other girls wear silk no girl
likes to don cotton. And when all
adopt cotton none will insist upon silk
In other words, the nether extremities
of the Elgin schoolgirls have been put
in uniform. By the way, it is very
different now from the way it aseo
to be. Schoolgirls of other years were
wont to be content with gingham
dresses and stout shoes and thick
hosiery. They dressed practically,
Uncle Dock says, and not for looks—
although uncle Dock says they looked
lovely. In those days a high schoo?
girl could be clothed neatly and con-
ventionally for a total of $3, while
now her silk stocking cost that much.
Where does all the money come from ?
Uncle Dock says the people every-
where are sinfully extravagant now,
but when pressed he admits that there
seem to be fewer poor people than
formerly—fewer beggars, fewer pau-
pers, fewer ragged men. When anyone
tells Unele Dock that everybody has
more than when he was a boy he re-
plies that everybody seems to, but its
because everybody owes more. That
may give the clue to the answer.
Credit has been made to serve as cash.
If that is correct all of us hope pay
day won't come suddenly.—State
Press.

NIGHT WATCHMAN'S SHOTS
FOIL EDDY ROBBERY ATTEMPT
What is believed to have been an
attempted robbery of the Eddy First
National Bank was frustrated by the
night watchman early Sunday morn-
ing.
Becoming suspicious when a large
touring car drove up in front of the
bank and when one of the occupants
started peeping through the windows,
the night watchman first shouted at
the men then fired several shots.
The prowler darted back to his com-
panions in the automobile and they
dashed away.

When I scolded the fox terrior for
attacking the cat he ran under the
house. I have never punished this
dog. Then why does he manifest such
fear and cowardice upon the slightest
show of resistance? For the same
reason that some boys at school lag
behind in the classroom, on the play-
ground, or in public exhibitions; and
for the same reason that some men
are unable to speak in public. When
this dog was a puppy a little boy
used to whip it, whereupon it hid un-
der the house. In the same litter
were five other puppies that were
whipped by the same little tyrant, and
they too will run under the house
when it thunders. They always will.*
Fear is an instinct, natural and be-
nign, making for self-preservation;
but when associated with the emotion
of terror, it becomes baneful and de-
structive, making for cowardice.
The hen's fear of the hawk would
lead to flight but for the natural
emotion of mother love excited by
the presence of her brood. Thu3 in
the new situation attack takes the
place of flight and the hawk is roat-
ed.
Punishment may be necessary, nut
it is always serious to punish a child.
The purpose of punishment is cor-
rection. There can be no character
without correction. The puppy doesn't
know why it is punished, and it hides.
If the child doesn't know why it is
punished it hides. If the hiding Im-
pulse becomes habitual in childhooo,
cowardice may develop as a rule of
conduct, physical, moral, mental! and
spiritual. Thus the whole personality
may be warped. By the same law
bird dogs may become gun shy. They
stard only till the gun fire^. I have
never known a bird shy or J?nn shy
dog to be re-claimed, because a
fright in early life can never be ex-
plained to him.
I know a "gun shy" lawyer when
he trie* tc speak, trembles ani ftils,
while standing before a jury, but he
can argue a caae while sitting. T*>e
case wa^ an emotional «Wk in child-
hood of which be is im; longer con-

At the direction of Edsel B. Ford,
president of the Ford Motor Company
the name of the River Rouge Plant
of the company, has been changed to
j the Fordson Plant.
This plant, probably the largest in-
, dustrial center in the world, is ioca-
' ted along the River Rouge and has
borne the name of the river ever since
it was established about ten years ago.
Recently, the town of Springwells,
! near Detroit, in which it is located,
(Voted to change its name of Fordson,
and the decision to rename the plant,
comes appropriately at this time.
At the Fordson plant, the company
manufactures Fordson Tractors, op-
erates its own blast furnaces, power
plant, motor assembly plant, body
plant, saw mill, coke oven, steel plant,
and rolling mill, cement plant, paper
mill, sinstering plant and a glass fac-
tory. The plant has an area of 1100
acres, 12.3 miles of roadway and 8t)
miles of railroad plant. Approximate-
ly 65,000 men are employed there.
WHEREAS, it has pleased the most
worshipful master of the Universe to
call to his reward our deceased broth-
er, John Bunyon Barclay, whose de-
cease occured on March 17, 1926, who
being at that time 78 years, 6 months
and 17 days of age, and

WHEREAS, it is fitting and the de
sire of the membership of this lodge

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RE-
SOLVED by Granger Lodge, No. 677
A. F. & A. M-., duly and regularly as-
sembled in a regular stated meeting,
that, in the passing of our deceased
brother, John Bunyon Barclay, that
sincere sorrow prevails amongst its
members, and that each realizes that
the fraternity has lost a faithful and
valuable member, that his demise
will be our loss but will be Heaven's
gain;
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED
that expressions of sympathy of said
Lodge be extended to his faithful
wife and other members of his fam-
ily, to the end that they may know
that this Lodge joins them in their
great sorrow; and
BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED that
a copy of this resolution be spread up-

THE I'EDESTRIAN Is the greatest stffferer In automobile fatalities, accord-
ing to records analyzed by the Stewart-Warner Safety Council for the
prevention of automobile accidents. No complete record Is available for the
United States as a whole, but a report based on 3,023 auto fatalities occurring
In the first seven months of 1925, covering a population of thirty-one million
is significant. Two thousand of these 3,023 fatalities have been classified
according to type. Sixty-eight per cent of the victims were pedestrians, 115
occurred with another motor vehicle; 7 per eent with horse vehicles, 4.2 with
fixed objects such as lamp posts, 3.5 per cent with street cars, 2.7 with railway
trains and 1.4 per cent with bicycles. Tbe remaining 6.8 per cent involved no
collision. The small proportion Involving railway trains Is encouraging and
doubtless due to the gradual abolition of unguarded grade crossings. The
menace to the pedestrian, however, is alarming, and calls for greater care
on bis part In crossing streets and on the drivers for more careful driving.

LITTLE BOY'S ESSAY ON PANTS
Pants are made for men and not
I for women. Women are made for
I men and not for pants. When a man
pants for o woman and a woman
I pants for a man, that makes a pair of
I pants. Pants are like molasses—
they are thinner in hot weather and
thicker in cold weather. There has
been much discussion as to whether
pants is singular or plural. Seems
to us that when men wear pants it is
plural and when they don't wear
pants it is singular If you want to
make the pants last make the coat
first.—Hamilton Herald-Record.
COURTESY ON THE ROAD
"It is almost axiomatic." writes the
J manager of a traffic bureau, "that
, safe conduct on highways is founded
on courtesy."
A million detailed traffic rules cati
not cover up that fact. There is no
substitute for courtesy anywhere,
least of all on a crowded highway.
There used to be more of it, the
traffic man says, than there is now.
That was in the days when automo-
biles were new and few. It was nat-
ural then for drivers to treat each
other courteously, as they would do
in meeting neighbors on the street, or
touching elbows with them at the the.
atre or church.
But with the increase of traffic
pressure on space and nerves, they
have lost that fine old spirit of mu-
tual accommodation.
So we try to make written rules and
signal systems take the place of cour-
tesy, and don't succeed.
It may be harder now not merely
that there are so many more cars on
the road, but because "all kinds of
people" are driving them.
Gentlemanly—and lady-
1ikt>—conduct is contagious and tends
to multiply itself on the road as it
does everywhere else.—Evchange.
