The town of Whitesboro has shown
what a municipal light and water plant
can do. The first year the plant clear-
ed for the city a thousand dollars, the
second year two thousand, the third
year three thousand and the fourth
year four thousand. That looks like
efficiency and is pretty good proof
that municipal plants are not always
failures. The same policies and meth-
ods that made this enterprise a suc-
cess have succeeded in larger places,
among them Sherman. A good busi-
ness man was elected Mayor and his
helpers were the same sort.

TWO REGENTS RESIGN.
Professor John A. Lomax, who was
here this Week, took occasion to ex-
press the most cordial appreciation of
the editorial work of The Courier in
regard to the University last summer,
and said that every editorial went to
Will S. Hogg, and that each served to
strengthen his arm in the fight. “Few
people realize what the State owes
to Will Hogg,w said Mr. Lomax. “He
was the power, though he was not the
visible agency. He spared not time
nor money in the fight to save the
University, but he gave liberally of
both. To him much gratitude is due."
Two more regents have resigned
from the University board. One of
them did so by request, the other be-
cause of ill health. The latter did
good advice for this great institution,
the other lent himself to the scheme
to ruin it. The two new members of
the board are J. A. Kemp of Wichtia
Falls and Dr. Ralph Steiner of Aus-
tin, the former a big builder of busi-
ness, a constructive force and a friend
to progress. The latter was farmerly

There remains one man on Hie board

He will “stand hitched” and be lone-
some while his fellow members are
going forward harmoniously to better
tilings. This “stand hitched" man
will probably soon resign, since he
can accomplish nothing to harm the
University—and that seems to have
been the reason for his appointment.
The guinea is the fowl that is most
neglected by the poultry people, but
there is no better paying fowl and the
flesh is far better flavored than any
other farm fowl and the equal, if not
the superior of most game birds. High
prices are being paid for guineas in
the city markets now and a broiled
young guinea at an eastern restaurant
would probably cost three dollars.
Raise guineas for the home table and
you will sell your chickens and eat
the guineas after a trial of their table
qualities. There is no game bird that
has a better flavor than has a young
guinea nicely broiled. Few have as
good.

THAT TOP CROP.
Frost Monday night shattered
the hopes of a top cotton crop in
North Texas. It uusually hap-
pens that way. None but the
speculators ever get any benefit
from the soealled top crop; and
their profit comes through predic-
tions that are never realized but
serve to depress the market to the
producers’ injury. If this boegy
horse could be taken away from
the speculator^ farmers would
realize more for their product in
the course of the year.—Denison
Herald.
warships in Europe.
Speculation on Mayo’s mission has
taken a wide range, some saying he
was especially interested in the feas-
ibility of a grand naval offensive
against the German submarine bases,
and even against the locked-Up Ger-
man battle fleet.
However, the Navy Department’s
announcement of Mayo’s return mere-
ly said:
“Th’e purpose .of the visit was to
permit him, in conference with the
other officers of the allied navies, to
become familiar in every detail with
the situation as it is at present, what
had been done before and to discuss
the plans for the future.
“Admiral Mayo visited the British
fleet and our own forces in British
waters in order that he might famil-

the farmers into taking the first price
offered them for the early cotton.
When the first of October passes with •
out a decline, but with cotton showing
a decided upward trend, there is as a
rule mighty little danger that the price
will go much lower. October is the
time when notes and accounts fall due
and in the rush of cotton on the mar-
ket is the best chance the bears have.
If they cannot make a slaughter then
their chances for success are not ex-

it amounts to something. Go after the
top prices.

The money waste directly and indi-

leave a handsome surplus. Cut it

The post card sales will likely drop
off. Few will care to pay two cents to
send a post card. Better write a let-
ter at three cents. At one cent post
cards may be worth while but not at
two cents, in most cases.

There is a joy in achievement and

done that counts. It is worth while.
Look what The Courier has done in
twelve months.
Whitesboro is planning for a sewer
system and will have it in operation
at an early date. This is a vital nec-
essity for that town and will be a suc-
cess, for they have made their other
municipal plants successful.

to send him a check two cents will

COUNTY HIGHWAYS AIDED.

Austin, Texas, Oct. 12.—The State
Highway Commission has granted Fed-
eral aid for road construction to the
following counties: Wichita, $44,000;
Bosque, $60,000; Johnson, $50,000; all
for work on highway No. 2, known as
the Meridian Highway.
Knew Him.
“No man is so well known as he
thinks he is,” says Enrico Caruso, the
world-famed tenor. “While motoring
in New York State,” continued the
great singer, “the automobile broke
down, and I sought refuge in a farm-
house while the car was being pre-
pared. I became friendly with the far-
mer, who asked me my name, and I
told him it was Caruso.
“The farmer leaped to his feet and
seized me by the hand. ‘Little did I
need add to the cards. If you use | think I would see a man like you in
other sorts they will probably require this here humble kitchen, sir!’ he ex-
two cents postage. Meantime the pru-1 claimed. ‘Caruso! The great travel-
dent man will write his letters and er, Robinson Caruso!’ ’’
mail them now and save the extra
cent. The man whose wife is away
from home might write twice a day
until the first of November and then
cut down to once or twice a week. No-
thing like preparedness. ,

Well, the man who has his bought
and paid for is all right, while the
man who has yet to buy cannot .e-
sist a feeling of uneasiness about he
situation. The peace of mind is some-
thing, and a man need not wotry over
past losses. Few of them have the
leisure to do so, even if they have
the inclination, in these strenuous
times.

A three-hundred-pound man stood
