Mr. J, F. Fanner, citrus fruit
inspector, has returned from a
visit to his family at Harlingen
and will be in the city for a few
weeks eradicating citrus canker.
Mr. Fanner says he finds most of
the canker in the useless trifol-
iata growing at random all over
the city. He says if the people
will destroy these trees immedi-
ately great assistance in stamp-
ing out the disease will have
been given him. This trifoliata
has been very popular with cit-
rus fruit growers as it was the
stock on which oranges, grape-
fruit and other citrus fruit was
grafted. For this purpose, how-
ever, it was useful only at its
tenderest age and becomes a use-
less nuisance after it grows old
and tough. Sour orange stock is
now used for frafting or budding
and has almost put the trifoliata
out of business. The citrus tri-
foliata is a great breeder of cit-
rus fruit diseases, so if you have
any and want to help stamp out
the canker here, Mr. Fanner sug-
gests that you destroy it.—Mata-
gorda County Tribune.

Crumbs From A Country Cupboard
By JESSE E. CAMPBELL
MY LITTLE PAL
My little boy pal is growing so big
That I scarcely know him any more;
He but yesterday boyantly called himself THREE!
And today he informs me he's FOUR!. .
Which is quite a ripe age for a "buster" you know,
And I just cannot make it seem true—
That the little wee babe of a few breaths ago
Is now claiming he's "most big as you."
When I asked if he wrote to good old Santa Claus,
And what all he'd asked the Saint for—
Replied, "Yes, I wrote him a big letter twice !
And I afterward wrote him two more—
Because"—says the man —"I'm getting so big !
And of course need a great lot of things-
Such as roller skates, flags and a pair boxing-gloves !
And an airship with wide spreading wings."
Then 1 sigh as I fondle his tousley head
And breathe—as my most fervent prayer,
That his steps may be guided in ways fine and right!
And his pathway be thornless and fair.
And that he may well learn, as his lesson of life,
If he wishes more brightly to live-
He must not only learn—while 'tis sweet to receive!
'Tis far sweeter—to learn how to give.
BOW-WOW.
Dear Sam:—When we left Den-
ver we provided a nine years'
supply of shirts because we ex-
pected to do some strenuous pio-
neering. We still have two
shirts with tails almost intact!
All others have been worn off to
a point approximately two inches
above suspender buttons. You
win,—almost! Good roads is
still your only salvation.
ANOTHER SHOCK.
During one of those moments
we've set aside for retrospection,
introspection and self-analysis,
this thing popped into our head
so hot it almost singed our hair!
"You simply must get that 2nd-
hand Ford soon, or be classed as
a freak!"
RESULTS NOT ALWAYS GOOD.
It looks as if the ability to bor-
row money easily on farm prop-
erty might do more harm than
good to many of us who will use
the money to increase our stan-
dard of living merely, and cease
hitting the ball as we were for-
merly compelled to. Better 40
acres clear than 160 under mort-
gage, even Uncle Sam's kind.
Means for efficient marketing
service however is a different
thing. Uncle Sam will soon be
the big landlord.
ISN'T IT TRUE?
If praying cost a nickle per
each ten minutes, there are folks
who would petition the Lord to
make it four cents, otherwise
they would be compelled to do
business with the devil.
TRUE HAPPINESS.
A little girl with fluffy curls
And the wreck of a pretty doll—
And a little boy with a shattered toy,
Are the blessedest things of aH4
And they who have never earned the joy
Of living and loving these—
Have made a mess of true heppiness!
And of life but a bungled wheeze.
Notice.
Just received a car load of 4in,
and 6 in. Sewer pipe and fixtures
for house connections to Sewer

Why Farmers Are Turning
to
HBliMliiifiii
CHEVROLET
for Economical Transportation
In 1922 Chevrolet jumped from seventh to second
place in sales of all cars, and to first place in sales
of fully equipped modern cars.
Purchases bv farmers were the chief factor in this
remarkable development.
Farmers are shrewd buyers and study costs and val-
ues carefully.
They want automobiles not only of low first price, but
also of low later cost for operation and maintenance.
They want room, comfort and the ability to stand up
under hard conditions.
They find that Chevrolet, fully equipped as sold is
the best value per dollar in the low-priced field, and
neighbors tell them it costs less per mile to operate.
They find it roomy, easy to handle and reliable.
They like its finish and its long stream lines.
That is why the farmer demans for Chevrolets is dai-
ly increasing its lead among modern, quality auto-
mobiles.

NOTHING TOO GOOD FOR BOYS
Witty Girl Gives a Variety of Reasona
Why She Envlee Youngster*
of the Present Day.
"It ecems to me as if boys are in
a fair way of being spoilfl," said the
red-headed youth. "Look at the
mothers, how they beam ou their
freckled-faced offspring! And the
fathers are half bursting with pride
in their Scouts! And the big sisters
are waiting for a chance to taffy
Bub about how grand he looks in his
uniform. The youngsters will begin
to think they own the earth!"
"That's just it," laughed the witty
girl. "Nothing's too good for a boy
and there's nothing he doesn't know
or dare. That's why I envy them.
They can look forward to growing
up into a Babe Ruth or a Jack
Dompsey or a Teddy Roosevelt. And
when they are grown up they can
look back to having been a boy and
dreamed of owning the world. I
suppose the adventurers and discov-
erers have been half boy all their
lives. It takes a outlook to
discover a North pole or trail goril-
las into Darkest Africa or puzzle out
the secrets of radio. In fact, I be-
lieve the nicest men I know are
more than half boy!"
"Thanks, Virginia. I feel about
three-quarters boy right now, my-
self. Let's scout around and sop off
a little fun for ourselves —Chicago
News.
TERSE SALESMANSHIP
The commercial traveler of today
could hardly recognize himself In this
description of a Yorkslilreman who
boasted of doing seventy calls a day
regularly,
"How do you do it?" asked a friend.
"Oil," sold he, "I puts my head ln-
de t'door and says, 'Marnln',' I says,
oraln',' says she. 'Owt?' I says.
'Nowt,' snys she, 'Marnln',' I says.
'Marnln',' says she. And off I goes
to t'next shop."—Edinburgh Scots-
man.

Something Worth Thinking
About for 1923
When you patronize a merchant who prac-
tices honesty in his advertising, and always
sells the quality he offers through his printed
announcements, you acquire confidence in
him. You can go to his store at any time
and get honest treatment, honest values
and honest prices.
We are always appreciative of your pat-
ronage—ask your neighbors
