tJOBHORIPTION, !.<«• PEN YEAR

Seyaour, Texas, Sept. 2, 1910.
Quanah is to have a broom
factory. That means more broom
corn farmers and more diversi-
fication.
According to the views of
thiB writer A. & M. college is
doing a wise thing in cutting out
fraternities. Those secret socie-
ties are a benefit to nobody, and
least of all their own members.
A COUPLE of hundred lives and
$20,000,000 worth of property
and timber destroyed is the toll
taken by recent forest fireB.
That is a crushing argument for
forest conservation and for the
dismissal of Secretary Ballinger.
The Banner has another letter
from J. E. Poole, secretary of
the Haskell board of trade, in
regard to the organization of a
or a
scien-
tific farming methods. The state
department of agriculture will
co-operate and the railroads will
give low rates. If anybody that
reads this approves of the plan
let them speak up. I do.
Thkrk is talk of n "squealer
special." otherwise bog demon-
stration train, to go over the
Denver and Wichita Valley roads,
following the example set by
several other roads. Let 'er
come. We are a little short on
corn this year, but we believe in
hog raising and will give the
"squealer" a good audience.
The K. F. C. News believes
there is a movement on foot to
convert a great many rural
routes into star routes and to
curtail as much as possible the
expense of the rural route sys-
tem. Proof of this seems to be
found in the fact that only three
new rural mail routes have been
established in the last six months.
The idea is to keep up the frank-
ing system, and increase it, and
at the same time make the post
office department self-support-
ing. The utmost opposition
should be made to any such
move. It is not necessary, any-
way, for the post office depart-
ment to be self-sustaining. The
army and navy that take hun-
dreds of millions from the na-
tional treasury, are by no means
self-sustaining.
"Dry Farmers' Congress"
congress for the study of
Teddy R. has launched his
western tour and is making (Jn-
cle Sam sit up and take notice.
T. R. is the most popular man in
the world today. He will make
some awful good presidential
timber in 1912 and if the Repub-
licans don't want him here's pre-
dicting that he could be elected
on the Democratic ticket by the
largest majority any presidential
candidate ever received.
The Banner hesitates at this
juncture long enough to make i
apology for not speaking sooner1
• of the Northwest Texas Press
Association and its recent meet-!
ing. For sufficient reasons, not
necessary to mention here (be-
cause one of them was time and
I
another money and we do not.
like to mention money matters
before our readers for fear some
of them who owe on subscription
might become embarassed,)
neither of the Banner partners
attended this recent meeting,
which we understand was a suc-
cess from every standpoint. We
have read all about it, though,
and do not wish to be left entire-
ly out of the N. W. T. P. A.
gang. Next year the state meet-
ing is down on the coast, maybe
too far to walk if it is hot, and
as the home association meets at
Wichita again next year we here
and now promise to be on hand
unless there is some big event
here that requires a special
"Extra."
What is known as the I. & G.
N. bill passed both houses of the
legislature by large majorities.
We are glad to note that our rep-
resentative, R. B. Humphrey, of
Throckmorton, was among the
number opposing the bill. The
motive of the bill is good, but
the means taken to a good end
are revolutionary. It is sought
to protect the unsecured claims
against the I. & G. N. railroad,
but in doing so the legislature
has made worthless, or of doubt-
ful value, every first mort-
gage bond held against any Tex-
as railroad. In other words, the
law would make unsecured claims
the secured, and the secured the
unsecured. If the law is al-
lowed to stand railroad building
in Texas will cease. The Sey-
mour Board of Trade has wired
their approbabtion of our repre-
sentative's action. Let other
towns get busy and have this
thing repealed.

Tm» Haskell JtieiaiJ been
tearing its shirt off here recently
about having a good water sup-
ply. While the Banner has al-
ways recognized the value of
Seymour's fine water, yet it was
such an evident fact that our
town has the best water sup-
ply in West Texas that we have
felt a little delicacy in crow-
ing about the matter. But the
Herald has gone so far as \o
challenge the editors between
Wichita and Brownwood to shokr
ka better water supply than Ha
kell. Here is an example thi;
ought to suffice. Last year dui

Please Think this Proposition Over and See if You don't Think
You Can Afford to Take a Chance
We are making a special price for storage on coal. As the old story goes, money
saved is double money made. Why not save some now? You know that it costs money
to have coal handled; and the more it is handled the more slack accumulates and the high-
er the coal comes to you. Cut this handling out and let us deliver to you from the cars.
We will give you exactly what you buy, both in grades and in weight. We handle nothing
but the NIGGER HEAD COAL. Don't want anything else because it is absolutely the
best coal that money can buy. It is pure and free from all foreign substances. We don't
mix cheaper coal with this and call it the best, to meet competition. We will give you
just what you buy.

that Seymour's supply has neve
been limited even in the dries
times. If you have good watei
Haskell, it is well enough to sa
so, but when you talk aboutha>
ing more than Seymour you r<

This is quite an appreciable help
to the schools, is it not?

Newcastle, Young County, j
Lex., Aug. 29.—Ten business
louses burned this morning.;
)rigin of fire unknown. Ap-
jroximate loss is $20,000.
Now, we imagine, the people;
^f the Panhandle will be inclined
insist that theirs is the humid
lection of Texas. Certainly if
Ihey should hold us bound to the
records of the last two years
(hey could prove it conclusively.
Whether one take the latitude of
Childress or go on as far up as
Lmarillo, he will be apt to find
rnt the rainfall during the last
ro years has been greater at

ititude of Austin or Waco,
irhich are popularly supposed to
iwell within the rain belt.—
