The governor of Oklahoma de-
clared a legal holiday of six days
to tide the banks over the money
tie up. ‘It worked all right, but
the Texas way was the best for it
allowed business to continue al-
most the same as tho nothing had
happened._
There has been some rumor
that Judge Patterson would run
for congress, but in an interview
at Weatherford the judge denies
this. When he was asked whether
he would run for district jndge
again he said that he probably
would but might not.
Those who gather pecans
without the consent of the owner
of the land should remember that
they are violating the law just the
same as though they would go into
a man’s cotton field arid pick his
cotton. Still there are many who
do this, not only for pecans for
their own use but to sell. It is a
three hundred dollar fine and
three month’s imprsonment in the
county jail._
The finest ears of cotn we have
seen tbit year were gathered the
other day by W* D. Bentley from
the farm of P. M. Randall, east of
Memphis. The corn is the new
Mexican Laguna corn, a very
White full ear and grows on black
tight land, two large ears to the
stalk. The corn is said to stand
dry weather well and be a very ex-
cellent corn for this country. The
seed were furriisbed by tbe United
States department of agriculture.—
Hall County Herald.
Some of this fine corn will be
distributed to the farmers of Jack
county by Mr. Bentley for next
year’s crop. Those who wish some
of this corn will have to apply
quickly or all the seed will be
spoken for.
A letter from Mr. Bentley says
that he wants as many farmers as
possible to have a peejf of tbe
Laguna corn. This seed corn
must be bought right away and all
who wish it should write at once.
Last year when the corn that
Commissioner White distributed
here arrived, the News requested
all who wanted it to apply, and for
a time it seemed that the corn
would go begging but latter on
there were probably a hundred who
applied who could not get it.
They were too late. It will be the
same this time. Apply at once
jf you want corn or cotton seed.
The Amount will be limited to
each person, a peck of corn and a
bushel of cotton seed. Write or
call at once._

Hold Your Cotton.
On Sept. 3, 1907, the representa-
tives of one and a half million
planters met in Little Rock, Ark.
The committee appointed to re-
ceive reports of crop conditions
were not boys bnt men that had
spent their lives raising and hand-
ling cotton. After gettings re-
ports from all over the cotton belt
they pot the minimum at 15c for
lint middling basis, provided the
law of supply and demand govern-
ed prices, that figure would main-
tain.
That committee had a better
means of knowing the crop con-
ditions than any man or men in
these United States of America.
The Southern Growers Associa-
tion meeting in Georgia about the
same time after hearing from the
fields also set the minimum at 15c.
Is it possible that all these planters
knew less about crop conditions
than the gamblers of the cotton
exchanges of New York
and New Orleans? You will
take notice that there is no one
bulling the market now in those
cities. Hands off. The fight is
on. The planters are the bulls
now. The bears and bulls are
united against us, are we going to
allow (I wont call them thieves)
the manupulators of prices to make
their annual raid on this south-
land and take without any return
a hundred millions dollars of tbe
hard earnings of the cotton planter
Are the planters going to submit
to this skinning or will we, by con-
certed action on onr part, put our
veto on it? The Farm & Ranch in
its stand for the farmer sent out
2,000 letters to the bankers of the
cotton belt asking as to their help-
ing to hold cotton and their ability
to do so. The answers so far have
been unanimous in favor of the
planters holding and nearly all able
to loan on cotton money to meet
their obligations.
The United States Government
loans to the banks of New York to
help out the gamblers in stocks
and bonds when they get in a
tight, why can’t they deposit a
few million in the banks of the
wheat and cotton belt to loan on
wheat in elevators and cotton in
warehouses on Y its value—the
best security ^n the world? The
difference is the New , York
manupulators must have their
pound of flesh to the detriment of
all. While the farmer only asks a
fair price for what he produces and
by standing together they will get
it, and by so doing will benefit all
mankind.
You remember the cotton crop
of 1906 the producers received from
9 to 11 cents per pound in March
1907 when out of the planters
hand up lint went to 14 cents.
How does that look as a business
proposition— not much credit to
the planter is it? When he pays 3
commissions instead of 1.
All men should meet their obli-
gations in cash or satisfy the
creditor. The planters with our
system of warehouses holds the
key. The only way it can be
wrestled from us is by our bankers
to refuse loans on cottonSmd the
merchants force collections by bank
correspondents, wholesale houses
and retailers, and when they do
that they simply kill the goose
that lays the golden egg.

The Swastika. •
Tbe Indian Good Luck symbol
or Swas-ti-ka, is a Sanscrit word
and signifies “of good fortune.”
The symbol comes to 'us from
the Brahmins and Buddhists of
India.
Ifi the Pali tongue it is “suti,”
which means “it is well.”
The Japanese call it “manji,”
the Chinese “ouan” or “wan,”
the' French, “le croix pattee,” the
footed cross.
The ancient English named it
“fylfot,” four-footed.
It is found ip nearly all parts of
the world. Wherever archaeolog-
ists have di gged up buried cities,
in Asia, Europe and America, they
have found the swastika, painted,
painted, drawn, carved, woven or
scratched on burial urn, sacrificial
stone, and utensils of everyday
use.
It has been found among relics
of the bronze age and stone age of
man.
Prof. Schliemann found it at
Thissarlik under tbe ruins of Troy
which proves it to be more than
3000 years old. R. P. Grey, an
eminent English scholar, says. “It
was a much used and favorite re-
ligious symbol among the earlier
Aryan races, and was intended by
them, in the first instance, to rep-
resent in a cruciform an ideograph
or symbol suggested by the forked
lightning.” The lightning was
supposed to be the weapon of Jupi-
ter who was their god. How it
ever got to aboriginal America is a
puzzle.
The swastika is found embroid-
ered in the miter of Thomas Beck-
et. In the norseland, bells often
bore this symbol.
In the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts is a large painting on silk
used as a temple decoration in
Japan 600 years ago. It represents
tbe Buddha enthroned surrounded
by saints and deities.
Directly above his head is a
splendid silver white swastika. It
is one of the signs by which
Buddha is td be recognized when
he returns to earth.
The attache Chung of China,
while at Washington City, wore a
robe with the swastika embroider-
ed on it. He said it meant “many
years,” or “long life,” and was an
emblem of good fortune. It has
been found among the remains of
the early lake villages of the Swiss
and among the Finns and Lapps
and on the early Greek pottery.
It is older than history. It has
been discovered carved on shells in
prehistoric burial mounds in Ten-
nessee, on copper plates in Ohio
tumuli.
At the present day the Kansas
Indians draw it on their song
charts. It is woven in the bead
necklace of the Sac woman, paint-
ed on the gourd rattle of the
Pueblos, figures in the dry sand
painting of the Navajos, ornaments
the bead work of the Kickapoos
and decorates the bull-hide war
shields of the Pimas of Arizona.
And our women aqd girls are
wearing'it today as broaches, belt
buckle, stick pin, collar fastener,
hat pin, etc., and call it a “good
luck” bringer.
And who can say that such a
long and universal association of
the thought of good fortune with
the swastika has not made it so—
especially if you believe in it as
such? Association of the idea of
bad luck” with Friday and thir-
teen has, in a measure, made
unpropitious to those who believe
in and fear the superstition.
