CLUB RECERHR6 MANY INQUIRIES
For the past several months
the Commercial Club of this
place has had many inquiries re-
garding the possibilities for an
oil mill at Paducah. Quite a deal
of correspondence has been done
along this line, and we might say
that there are more than a dozen
people who are interested in put-
being 40 per cent of the df >ital I

PRACTICAL TALK

— should they not? Cottle county
is raising more cotton per capita
than any other county in the
state of Texas excepting Collin.
The last statistics show this. If
you doubt the statement look up
the government report. And in
addition to this it must be taken
into consideration that we raise
feed, cattle, horses, hogs and
other things that are not dealt
with in the other cotton growing
counties. Collin county raises
cotton alone. They have to buy
their feed every year, and yet
Cottle county is the next in the
state to Collin in the production
of the fleecy staple, to say noth-
ing of the enormous amount of
feed that we grow, live stock, etc.
The day is not far off when Pa-
ducah will have one of the best
oil mills in Texas. The condi-

Our vast territory to the south

POINTING OUT SOME OF THE MISTAKES MADE HAPPENINGS OF INTEREST AT TNE NATION’S
HEADQUARTERS-ITEMS APPEALING TO
ALL TOLD IN BRIEF MANNER
At a recent meeting-held un-
der the auspices of the Interna-
tional Peace Forum, over which
Senator Sherman presided, John
Hays Hammond urged that after
war is concluded in Europe, the
Congress of the United States
should call a peace conference
which should formulate a plan
for international amity, to in-
clude an agreement for concert-
ed and permanent disarmament;
the drganization of a supreme
court of nations, whose findings
from an experienced oil mill
man. that looks very flattering:
“Dallas, Texas, Jan. 21, 1915
Secretary Paducah Commercial

Sir:—Replying to your favor of
January 8 relative to oil mill pro
position will state that I am in

I would come to Paducah to in-
vestigate and make a definite
proposition if conditions are as I
expect to find them.
"I am an experienced oil mill
man and can furnish satisfactory
references as to my ability as a
mill man, concerning both con-
struction and operation. I can

BY THE SOUTHERN FARMER AID BUSI-
NESS MAN ALIKE-READ THEM
By those who attended the
farm demonstration meeting at
the court house two weeks ago
it will be remembered that Dr.
Harkey of the A. & M. College
pointed out the fact that the
credit of the South would not be
based on the cotton question
next year as has been the cus-
tom since the Civil war, but that
the credit to the farmer would
be based upon the amount of
feedstuft he raised and his pos-
sibilities to raise what he eats at
home. The idea was well taken, shall be accepted as conclusive
and we believe that most of the i^nd final by all; and an interna-

During the past week, in pur-

Agricultural Department to
awaken an interest in farm life
among our boys and girls, I have
addressed seven of the twenty
schools of Cottle county. In ad
dition, I have visited the farms
of many demonstrators and co-
operators on my route. My visit
on Monday was to Moon Dis-
trict 11. This school, though
small, is doing good work under
the management of Sam Draper
and Miss Eula Horne. Tuesday,
delivered a lecture on “Bugol-

the one of which Dr. Harkey
spoke as being the best disci-

the state of Texas. Wednesday
was spent with Fairview District

Green Valley District 15. pre-

excellent work. Thursday was
