One of the first things that a soldier should learn is to wait.
Also some of the folks are not so much interested in the
origin of our war as they are in its destination.
I«lfe is just one thing after another—a different kind of an
agitator in a different kind of trouble zone.

:
The railroads and the government ask the business man
and merchant to load the freight cars heavy and unload thein
quickly.
There is not much of a story for the paper when the auto-
mobile beats the train to the crossing, but some news when it
fails to do so.
He might be an enemy of the country without being a Ger-
man spy. Some one has asserted that "A blunder is worse
than a crime."
If It is true that "Whatsoever a man soweth that shall he
also reap," the kaiser will have to come to the harvest before
peace can be declared.
Canadian women are doing men's work while grey haired
men are drilling for the finish fight, with Germany. Texas
people have not yet realized the terrible consequences of fail-
ure to win this war.
Autoists should discover the intention of the law and obey it.
Why should the owner of a car put himself in the attitude of
a resistor of the spirit of the law because the letter of the law
may have been defective?
The boys are home occasionally on vacations, called fur-
loughs. They bring the fever into the community and each
young woman who expects to fight to keep her brothers and
friends at home wishes that she herself were a soldier and
could fight in France.
When Colorado national guardsmen found "Made in Ger-
many" stamped on the plates from which their food was being
served one of them declared his belief in the following illumi-
native language: "Turn hell upside down, and I'll hot you'd
find 'Made in Germany' on the bottom," On second thought
one might hold to the opinion that since war is hell, and
Germany started the war, the mark is plainly visible on the
upper surface.
An election will be held Tuesday, August 21, for tho pur-
pose of endorsing an amendment to the constitution providing
for the reclamation of overflow lands, Irrigation of arid lands,
drainage of swampy lands, etc. The system is the same as
that allowed communities in the building of good roads. The
people can combine their efforts in the<phievement of public
progress that could not be financed by individuals. It is a
good move which will add to the value of Texas river valleys,
and cost nothing to those who are not in position to receive
the benefits.
The Telegram called attention of the public to the fact that
potatoes could be put into cold storage and fooled into sprout-
ing for a fall crop. The editor tried the experiment himself
and left his seed potatoes in the local refrigerating plant for
the required number of days. He then went to the plant and
asked the man to hand out his sack of potato seed. The man
went into the cold storage room and remained for some time.
When he came out he announced: "You will have to help me
find those potatoes." The editor went into the cold room and
was surprised to find that it was stuffed, as It were, with
Backs of seed potatoes. The people have learned to take
chances on succeeding with new experiments. Here is hoping
that all of them will raise fall potatoes.

; THE TEXAS PRESS I
By Andrew UcDoatb.
\
The Kllleen Herald remembers:
"The biggest chewing gum factory in
the South Is located in Bell county."
The people of Texas have always sup-
ported out of the state institutions
because they could not belt#ve the
state Institutions were as worthy of
support. When they learn that the
building up of home industries Is the
building up of their own property
values they will be more Interested in
buying the home product The Her-
ald also compliments J. 8. Hair, edi-
tor of the Holland News, on being
elected mayor of that city. That is
an honor not to be held lightly by
any man and we have a conviction
that Editor Hair will give to the of-
fice the benefit of the many opinions
he has formed while working oil the
outside looking in. Newspaper men
are usually progressive In their na-
tures and we predict a forward move-
ment for Holland during the adminis-
tration of the editor as mayor.
From the San Angelo Standard we
learn that twenty Hoy Scouts of
Troop I have gone on a gunless deer
hunt during a week's outing. They
will attempt the kodaking of such
deer as they may meet, and other
wild life as well, no doubt. The Idea
is a good one. Everybody likes a
good boy scout and hopes that they
will live long to defend their country
and protect wild life against natural
and unnatural enemies.
From the Troy Enterprise we clip
tills burst of enthusiasm: "Most of
the towns that had such enthusiastic
Ited Cross workers two or three
months ago have abotit lost Interest
and seldom meet. No so with this
Troy band. They sent off their first
shipment of garments Monday to
headquarters, and are now ready for
the next. They have had the most
attractive display window in the town.
We hope you noticed it." That is a
fine report and we endorse the en-
thusiasm of the Enterprise's editor.
We are in a big and beautiful war
which Is not to be won by those who
work early In the morning while the
dew Is on the grass, but by those
who will cheerfully hear their bur-
dens through the heat of the day and
on into the night, with never a whim-
per about the pain or the cost.
Makes no difference about the right
or wrong of being in the wflr. it will
be cheaper to win than to lo?e it.
Some of the folks who do not go to
war will have to help win it.
The Bar tie tt News has liad a talk
with T. 1'. ltobinson relatives to bees.
Mr. Robinson stated that the bees
cannot produce honey for the mar-
ket this year unless ft great amount
of rain falls by Monday. This is a
condition unfortunate as some others,
but we who know nothing of the bee
problems must trust those who do
know to pull through the present dif-
ficulties somehow, There Is always
fine times ahead of dull ones In com-
munities that are as full of life as
ours.
What wonderful changes are
wrought by time and the development
of people# of countries. American
troops marching through the city of
London! A London paper notes this
in a headline reading "Sons of the
Pilgrim*' Sons Back In London," and
thus describes Uncle Sam's soldiers:
"Lean, lithe, straight backed, thin-
lipped, set-Jawed, they Impressed
everybody as doers rather than
dreamers; men of few words who
look you straight In the eye, take your
measure at a glance, give you their
opinion in a rough epigram and then
get to business. They are a distinct
set of men of a definite type. Not
Canadian; not Australian; not New
Zealanders—but In the snap of the
eye and the expression of thejnouth,
something distinctly United States."
They are something "distinctly Uni-
ted Statest" With that precaution
taken by the censors, It Is not relat-
ed what body of troops Is In London
nor their numbers. It may have been
but a small detachment and It may
have been many more than the peo-
ple have yet learned have crossed
the seas, but no matter, large or
small, any body of American troops
Is bound to attract attention In any
land. London, the city of all the
cities In the world, the most to dote
on "the military," Its people know a
soldier when they see him, and this
great outpouring of the English peo-
ple to see the American soldiers and
the greeting accorded theAi is but
another tribute to the fitness, the
fighting ability and the good behavior
Of the soldiers this country Is sending
to aid in the war for democracy, for
freedom, for liberty and the principles
of humanity,
feut a fraction of the great Ameri-
can army has as yet reached the other
side, but as the number Increases,
when they get into action, the people
of the United States, those who have
made sacrifices tbat their fathers,
sons, husbands, brothers might go to
the defense of their country, will
have still more cause to be proud of
the American soldier than they will
find in the story of their reception in
London and this in Itself is very
gratifying.—Austin American.

and college builder of Texas, to speak
In Georgetown last Friday at 2:30 p.
rn. was frustrated by the rain that
came at that hour and continued until
time for liim to take the train for
Temple.
Judge Grubbs intended bis speech
here fo be the opening of his long
delayed campaign for the overthrow
of the political machine in this state
which aspires to dominate and sub-
ordinate to the personal Interest and
political ambitions of its leaders and
which lie charges has appropriated to
their own benefit every substantial
opportunity resulting from his unsel-
fish activities in behalf of educational
reform.
He says that same machine has
Commercialized, prostituted and de-
moralized the College of Industrial
Arts of which he is the recognized
father, thereby excluding the girls for
whose benefit It was established, mak-
ing of the Institution a school for the
rich and recklets. He also charges
that said political machine now seeks
to take control of the Grubbs Voca-
tional College which was established
at Arlington by tho Legislature as a
tribute to his service.—Georgetown

; FARMERS'FORUM {
Farm Loans,
J. H. Hart, secretary of the ShlloTi
National Farm Loan Association was
in to see us Monday and reported the
association In good working order.
Several farmers have already received
their money and loans to the amount
of $18,000 have been approved. Oth-
er applications are in for more than'
$15,000. They get the money on 86
years time at five per cent interest,
payable on amortization plan. The
borrower on a loan of $1,000 pays $60
per year for 86 years which liqui-
dates both principal wild interest.—
Eden Echo.
The first loan made by the Federal
Land Bank of Houston in San Saba
County was closed up last week, Ga-
briel Hart of the Shiloh community
geting a loan of $1,000 for forty,
years at five per cent. This is the
first land loan ever made in San Saba
County at as low an interest rate as
5 per cent and Is a forerurtner of
prosperity for the farmers of this
section. Much of the credit for the
promptness with which the Shiloh As-*
soclation is obtaining these Federal
loans belongs to Mr. Henry Hart, the
secretary of the Shiloh Association,
whose untiring efforts in behalf of his
community arc now bearing fruit. A
number of &ther loans will be made
as soon aa titles can be perfected.
Mr. Knight Hector, Jr., Secretary
of the San Saba Association reports
that loans will soon be closed up on
lands near Ban Saba town.
Five per cent money means the
salvation of the small farmer and a
decrease in the tenant farmer class.
