Always Another Fight
Left
I have failed in a thousand cases,
But I still have the heart to try;
I am scarred in a hundred places,
No darling of Luck am I!
In many a crucial hour
I have hoped, and been scorned and
kicked;
But never has Fate had power
To convince me that I was licked.
I have trusted and been mistaken,
My friendship has been betrayed;
I have struggled alone forsaken
By women who have had my aid
And women who have had my love;
I have listened to those who flattered,
Their motives misunderstood,
But my faith has remained un-
shattered ;
I believe in the ultimate good.
I ask for no unearned pleasure.
No pathway through flowery lanes;
I offer a full fair measure
Of effort for all my gains.
I’ll try, though the pace be grilling,
Nor whine if I'm tripped or tricked,
As long as my soul’5s unwilling
To let me believe I'm licked.

all that can be dun now is to pray
that you don't fool some fine young
Corrygin man into marryin you and

The newspaper business is not a
romance. It is just a plain, work-a-

perhaps, with none too firm founda-
tions, hungry for young life, but filled
with uneven, precious streaks of fine
gold, that remains after the dross has
been washed away.—Phillip Kingsley

’J'O GOVERNOR STERLING and the Legislature of Texas, and to the gov-
ernors and legislatures of the cotton-growing states outside of Louisiana: I
The table which appears below shows what all the cotton farmers of
| all and each of the Southern states would receive on the Government’s crop
: estimate for their cotton at 5 cents a pound—the present prifce to the far-
mer. The Governor of Louisiana believes that the adoption of the T.ouis-
[iana law by other Southern states would bring $86,600,000 to Louisiana far-
mers for their cotton instead of $21,650,000. If he is right, Louisiana cotton
growers would receive in round numbers sixty-five million dollars more
for this year's crop.
On the same basis, Texas cotton farmers would receive $376,000,000
more for the year’s crop.
The cotton mill owners of North Carolina, and of the world, would
have to pay this additional sum for their cotton.
These mill owners pay millions of dollars a year to get information
] on cotton. These figures are assembled and printed to give the cotton
1 farmers a few figures of their own on this subject.
At 5 cents a pound, they will get for this year’s crop $389,000,000.
At 20 cents a pound, they Would get $1,558,000,000, or $1,169,000,000 for
| their cotton crop.
Those figures are too big for anything but a “convervative” cotton
man to understand. But we have divided them so the dirt farmer can
understand. At five cents for cotton he will take this year for himself
and family $194.80. At 10 cents, $389.60, and at 20 cents $779.20. Or at
twenty cents he would have five hundred and eighty-five dollars more for
j his cotton crop.
The Booster makes no predictions as to cotton prices with or without
legislation. But they are barking the drop-a-crop partly because they fear
' that without its adoption cotton prices may go even lower for this year's
| crop and for next year's crop.
This table Is offered any Southern newspaper that wants to print it.

“DISTINCTIVE
WORKMANSHIP”
Livingston, Texas
Both arms were pinned to th£
ground by slate. Fellow workers freed
his left arm by lifting the rocks with
an automobile jack, but were unable
[to free his right.
Dr. George Fordham, Powellton phy-
sician, suggested Cotter's life might
I be saved if his arm could be ampu-
jtated. Dr. W. B. Davis, company phy-
Isician volunteered if means of reach-
ing the arm could be found.
Miners dug a 15,foot tunnel to Cot-
Iter's arm and Dr. Davis crawled to
Cotter’s side. Lying upon his back in
the small bore, Dr. Davis injected the
'anesthetic and a short time later
Cotter was carried from the mine.
' Saturday Jie was recovering in a hos-
pital.
