"If I knew that a word of mine,
A word not kind and true,
Might leave its trace on a loved
one’s face,
I’d never speak harshly, would
you?

Might linger the whole day

FIRE PREVENTION DAY.
Mayor Zimmerman has designated
Saturday, October 16th, as fire pro
vention day in Coleman and called
upon the citizens to observe the day
hy a general cleaning up. "Remove
from our premises all trash and waste.
Hotels and boarding houses shtmhl
ree that every means of safety have
been provided for their guests. Ex-
amine your Dubs and see that they are
in a safe condition. School board arid
jo niters of the school buildings should
see that every physical hazard ha
been removed.”
"We ask the united action and co,
operation of the entire citizenship in
this movement,” concludes the mayor
in his call.
The fire waste of Texas is $5,000,-
000 per annum. The fire waste of the
United States is $250,000,000 per an-
num. Fire losses in the United States
are ten times greater than in Germa
ny and France and eight times great

THE LAND TENANT LAW’.
Hon. John K, Davis, member of the
Legislature from Dallas county, of-
fers the following explanation of the
application of the land tenant law
enacted by the 34th Legislature:
“The land tenant law (page 76,
General Laws of the Thirty-Fourth
Legislature) merely amends the land-
lord’s lien law so as to provide that
except where the landlord furnishes
everything and the land is cultivated
on the'halves, the landlord will not
have an enforceable lien for the rent
if he collects in rent more than one-
fourth the value of the cotton: and
one-third the value of the grain. If
a man should rent land for, say, $7
per acre, money rent, he could not
legally collect game unless the value
of the crop grown on said land wa
as much as $28 per acre for the land
planted to cotton and $21 per acre
for the grain. However, if a land-
lord rents land to a tenant farmer for
more than a third and fourth, no pen
ally would attach to either party,
except that the tenant would have the
right, within two years after such
rent was paid, to recover in court, by
action of debt, double the rent so col-
lected. The use of the words 1 the
value of’ in the law makes it dear
that the maximum ren" which may be
legally collected, whether for money-
rent or a part of the crop, depends or:j
the yield.”
Press Paragraphs
The recognition of Carranza by the
Washington administration places
Villa In the class of "blown up suck-
ers,”
If the Entente allies allow the Ger-
mans to whip Serbia as they did Rus-
sia, the Entente powers will merit the
condemnation of the world. Poor lit
tic S'ornia has suffered much, and
h;iK lought bravely and without com-
plaint. She is depending upon the help
of the allies and must have it.—
Brownwood Bulletin.
Do you suppose for one moment
that the entente allies are throwing
off in this race? We have an idea
that they, like “Unde Rich” Coffey
when the Red Skins were crowding
him, are doing their best and not
throwing off one bit.

It is fifty years since the civil war
closed, yet there remained at the end
! of the past fiscal year a total of 306,-
370 persons on the government's pen-
sion roll, receiving' pay as “Union'
veterans,” about 83,000 less' than a
year ago. The total amount paid out
intensions during the year was $156,-
068,000, compared with $172,417,000
the preceding year, lensiom office
records show that nearly 1,817,000
soldiers have died since the close of
the civil war and that since that time
a total of $4,614,643,000 has been paid
in pensions to veterans, their children
and widows. Thus, we have an an-
swer to the question, “What makes a
wild cat wild?”
After many months of watchful

MR, BRYAN’S PEACE DREAM.
;i permanent investment, another
outlay of at least live per cent ‘bf "the
total cost would have to be mad* an-
nually, entailing an additional- outlay
of $700,000,000, or $1,400,000,000 in
the age regate, u sum far gt enter than
our present national expenditure or.
ull account#,-1"including the operation
of the postoffice department.
•‘Naturally, these roads would be
under Federal Control and jurisdic-
tion, and they would mean a further
disappearance of the rights of the
states and u further advance in the
direction of centralization. Another
glorious consideration is that there
would be added to oi#r Federal civil
list not less than 200,000 permanent
officeholders, which ought to cheer
the heurts of ul| patriots who believe
that the true mission'of government
s to supply offices for the citizens.
“Of course, this would constitute
very nice system and the farmers
would like to have these roads and
could u-’t- them,,especially in that part
of the country where there are farms,
hut .they might not relish the condi-
tions under which they might use
the roads, any more than they would
relish the taxes they would have tr
pay for the construction, interest:,
upkeep and sinking fund.
We forbear to discuss the military
aspects of the proposition. Mr
Bryan’s ideu, of course, is to have
no army until some power invades
the country and their call upon the
untrained youth of the town to take
Ford automobiles and rush to the
point of danger. If it should be a
Japanese attack, the volunteers of
New England other Eastern sections
would get into the Ford machines—
three, to a machine, not counting the
'armor who would act a# chauffeur—
and proceed to the I’acific coast.
Three hundred ami thirty thousand
machines would thus transport an.
army of one million, and we suppose,
tlte cost of-transportation in'that way
"would not be more than $250,000,000
or $‘b>0,000,000, because the farmer
would want pay for IBs time, tires
anti the wear and tear of the ma-
chine.
“A for tiie ammunition trains,
commissary, cavalry and artillery,
that would be entirely another riiattei,
out the more you con idm the whole
scheme the more wonderful and beau-
tiful it appears and the more light
it throws upon Mr. Bryan’# amazing
fancy
‘It i« nted!g%, to pur-uc *he viaUet
■ the* point . uggos'itir that .by the
l re a trnii'c-1 army had destroyed
i Ur uulrjiinedl and poorly equipped
boys and captured the machines that
transported them, the factories could
turn out 330,000 more machines to
take another million boys across."
