The future of the cotton market Is
a legitimate subject for discussion in
this column or elsewhere. If we knew
that the price would go up we would
borrow money and buy some bules,
but, alas, We do not know and are
therefore incompetent to advise the
man who owns cotton. Nevertheless
there Is a strong sentiment looking to
a rising market. 1C the price goes
higher don't blame i^s for it.

right direction. Tho newspaper folks
can hardly presume to form a local

Although tha National Woman's
Suffrage aasociatlon went on record
as being non-parliean, Individually the
women are aa partisan aa they can
well be. Only Mrs. Carrie Chapman
Catt said: "You will never get me to
work for any man until 1 can vote for
him."

In her office she said: "I never was so
tired in my life aa when I got through

have hardly decided, but I think It
will be to clear the map, taking the

win a state that borders onto a

la the newly elected first vice presi-
dent, was also in the office getting
her work In hand. She will have
charge of the office In Washington,
D. C., and will spend the greater part
of her time there. Some people who
think the whole aim of the suffrage
advocates la to get from under the
control of their men folks may be
surprised to know that Mrs. Miller
would not accept this officc until she
had wired her son, the only unmar-
ried member of her family. He re-
plied: "Of course, mother, take It.
I'm proud of you."
We have noticed one thing, which
Is, that tho women political managers
do not talk In that cocked-sute way

If there were no minority in the
United States with more power to do
barm than the brotherhoods have
there would be no reason to worry
about the fate of the republic. If
there were no minority in the United
States whose power to do harm was
not conditioned, as that of the railroad
brotherhoods is, by the habitual per-
formance of a valuable t.orvice, there
wr uld still be no reason to worry.
But the railroad brotherhoods are
mere straws compared with the pow-
ers which actually dominate the rail-
roads of the United States. Louis
Brandeis, now a supreme court jus-
tice, in lils book on "Other People's
Money," tells how the credit and, cap-
ital o" the United States Is controlled
by rln«r within ring of great finan-
ciers, centering in less than a dozen
men. These men can. If they desire,
frustrate the will of the Interstate
commerce commission, wreck or make
railroads, create or prevent panics.
And their power does not rest upon
services rendered, nor is It harmful
merely when they cease operations, as
in the case of the brotherhoods.-—San

HILL COUNTY AI/fO OX MAP.
Col. P. I., Downs, president of the
Bell County Fair, Teaiplc, Tex., says
of the next fair, Oct.]3 to 7: "With
all due deference to t|ie rest of them,
I can unhesitatingly ifay that the Bell
County l-'air is train* {o be the biggest
and greatest exposition of them all.
We can show you lh|it Bell county Is
not asleep, but is rather wide awake;
Bell county Is not only leading all the
other counties in diversification, but
is going to build up a great Central
Texas exposition that will be the pride
of our people and a marked benefit to
our citizenship."
Colonel Downs Is president of the
board of control for the Texas experi-
ment stations and as such ia doing a
great work for the state. He Is vitally
interested in better farming and never
falls to identify himself with agricul-
tural enterprises for progress. 11 is In-
terest in the Bell County Fair insures
its success. D. II. McKenzie is sec-
retary of the fair.—Press Item.
Colonel Downs is a royal good fel-
low, and all that is said about him
above we can heartily endor-e, on the
strength of long and pleasant ac-
quaintanceship.
But we rise to make brief answer
to what lie himself says. The' Colonel
loves to speak and to deal in hyper-
bole, sometimes In disregard of what
is due old General ftatisfics.
What wo wish the colonel to re-
member is that Hill county is alco
a leader in,diversification; in fact, has
a Roland for Bell county's every
Oliver, and then gome left over that
are unmatched. There is, for in-
stance, the fact of a thousand acres
of peanuts in one community. 11111
county nurpasses not only in variety,
but also in quantity or In quality of
the products. Bring on your cotton,
corn, small grain, fruits, potatoes,
etc., etc., and be convinced. If our
number of cattle Is not quite up to
yours, neither are yours in demand In
South America and in Europe for
breeding purpose* For your Hoy
Mitchell, we give you Tris Speaker.
Bell and Hill are about on a par
when it comes to getting Into a demo-
cratic state convention.
Hill county yields the palm to Bell
In area, and In raising dogs and caifi,
though some malicious person has
suggested that the two counties got
their vowels mixed.
We cordially invite Colenel Downs
to see the llill County Fair, Oct. 4 to
7. Inclusive, and bo convinced. -Hills-

How Typhoid Fever Is Contracted.
mVPHOID fever has fourth or fifth place In American mortality
lists coming only after tuberculosis, pneumonia, cancer and per-
haps heart disease. Typhoid takes largely Among us tne plac«
of cholera, that "Asiatic Guest." which European peoples hata
from time Immemorial so constantly and so unnecessarily «ntertalne .
Both those dUeaics are "Ingestion Infections" contracted la absolutely no
other way than by swallowing food and drink (the latter mostly Impure
water and milk), contaminated In various dlagustlnf ways, with elt er
the cholera "rlbrlo" or the typhoid bacillus. Dirty fingers take the centre
Of the stage In the gruesome drama which so often ends tragically.
Scientifically speaking, nothing can be simpler than the prevention
of these Infections; the application ot the prophylactic principles Is,
however, of considerable practical difficulty, by reason solely of
obstinacy and suplneness. For eiample, there Is the cook, Typhoid
Mary, a carrier of the typhoid germ who, although she declared and
probably correctly that she has never had the disease, has nevertheless.
In those migrations from family to family peculiar to her casta, through
• Dumber of years disseminated tha Infection to some score or more of
sufferers. There have Indeed been typhoid carriers who hate had the
disease forty years previously and have contlnned through all that tlma
being a menace. It Is computed that one-fourth of the people who have
had typhoid are carriers, that, disease or no disease, one In every one
thousand of us Is such a typhoid bacillus distributor.
Most infections are self-limited; their quarantining limit is fl"d.
But you cannot quarantine a carrier a whole life time any more than
you can frame an indictment against a whole people. The great trouble
with Typhoid Mary has-been her perversity exceeding that characteristic
of her most temperamental of callings. She has never conceded herself
a menace; she has not obeyed the sanitary directions glveh her by the
authorities; she would not wash and disinfect her hands as required,
she will not change her occupation for one in which she will not
endanger the lives of others; under an assumed name she has emulated
The Wandering Jew, who Is legended to have scattered the seeds of
cholera In his path. Typhoid carriers who are amenable to reason
humanely conscientious, careful and scrupulously clcan need endanger
nobody's eiistence.

Goodbye, old town, I'm going home,
to shuck tho corn and plow the loam,
to prune the tree and train tho vine,
and feed with swill the shrieking
swine. I was not built for urban life,
for city tricks and city strife, and
every time I walk the street I'm
euchred by some smiling beat, who
sees in me an easy hick, and sells me
a gold-plated brick. I'm always buy-
ing costly shares in ginseng plants and
Belgian hares, In silver mines and
orange groves, and mills that turn out
wooden cloves. The smiling fakers
of the town! I simply cannot turn
them down. They charm mo with
their sunny smiles, they fascinate me
with their wiles, and sell ine, from
their catalogues, tin motor cars and
hairless dogs, and remedies that grow
new hair on domes of thought that
long were bare, and lithographs of
Statesman Hughes, and ships and seal-
ing wax and shoes. Tomorrow, If you
look for me, iny form in town you will
not see, though you may rake it with
a comb—^-goodbye, old town, I'm going
home!
literary Cure.
"I'm troubled with insomnia, doc-
tor," said the author.
"Too bad you can't take your own
medicine," said the doctor.
"What do you mean?"
"I've seen lots of people sleep
over your books."
Extensive deposits of coal have
been discovered in Kongo by Belgian
engineers.
Swat the Billboard.
Why in the world will farmers lease
to advertising concerns the right to
orcct lines of billboards along railroad
rights of way? It is one of the most
cxcuseless and unprofitable disfigure-
ments of the country. It breaks lip
the tilling plan of the field, and it
leaves a bad taste in the mouth of the
railroad travelers.
The farmer who lets his barn be
used as a signboard for pills, in con-
sideration of having bad paint put on
it, advertises himself as thriftless. Tho
man who cuts into a good field in
order to get a few dollars from a liver
cure or a blend of booze is losing-
sure money to get what he foolishly
regards as easy money.
One of tire advantages of owning a
farm that thousands of railroad pas-
sengers see every day is the possibility
that some of them will fancy and want
to buy it. If statistics on the subject
could be had It would be astonishing
that so many 6ales come this way.
Well, the farmer who plasters his land
over with circus paper and patent
medicine propaganda is in effect say-
ing:
"I can't make this land pay—Just
farming It."
That's mighty bad advertising for
the farm. Of course, the Pullman
passenger may see it the other way,
and say to himself:
"There's a farm that doesn't pay;
maybe I can buy it cheap."
You can take your choice. Which
do you want 'em to think?—Farm and
Fireside.
