ANATOMY OF PROBABILITIES
The return of a dry siege or any other prolonged spell1
of weather, or the presence or likelihood of wars, cyclones,
etc., generally becomes the open season for some who like
to deal in the anatomy of probabilities, pronounce how
that God is sending such things because of the wayward-1
ness of the people, or in fulfilment of some recondite pro-1
phecy.
All such persons talk cock sure about what God is do-
ing in such realms as if they had first hand information.
They are ready to quote co *-
piously s.me passages of
scripture, which have been
overworked already by such
prognosticators.
Such pastime may please
the fancies of those who are
so inclined to try and enter
the realm of a delineator of
the motives and actions of
God Almighty, hut it

arise to try and call such
dealers in probabilities a
falsifier, or pr nounce them
a prophet. No one knows
anything about it and conse-
quently no one will take
sides v ih him.
Then.- is so much of which
we know as to our Christian
duty that by the time we are
through fulfilling it and min-
istering to the needy and
helping save a lost world, we
will hardly have time or
take delight in dealing with
the platitudes and general-
ities about what God is do-
ing in a drouth, cyclone,
rainy spell or what not.
He causes the rain to fall
on the just and unjust. That
is the word of the Lord Him-
self. To set ourselves up as
delineators of the plans and
actions of God is the height
of egotism and folly.

The election of Tom Hunt-
er as governor of the state
of Texas wuld be one of the
most advanced strokes to
ward helping Texas to re
covery. He is not only in line
with the President’s policy,
but he is also a friend of the
independent business man
and favors measures, which,
if adopted, would go a long
way toward recovery for
them. His idea of taxing
chain stores is well Khown
and seems to be in line with
other states who have been
using it as a successful mea-
sure to place the indepen-
dent business man more
nearly on a plane with such
competition.
Denison is fast becoming
a city of paved streets. With
the additional streets now
being paved completed soon,

invigorator for others to go
and do likewise in other sec-
tions of the city.

gram of the Kraft-Phenix

announced. The improve-
ments will increase the ca-

ned in Denison ttiis seaaon was

regular meeting of the jumor
Chamber of Commerce held last
Monuay night.
W. j. mil, owner of the Denison
gin, that was purchased several
mon.hs ago, was ai the meeting
and ga.e the organization many
suggestions tnat were helpful in
the laying of their plans.
He sta.ed that it would be a
pleasure for his gin to gin free of
charge the first bales that were
presented in the Den.son .rade ter-
litoy. It was hoped that this in
addition to the premium that is to
be given, would be an inducement
to the farmers in tms section to
hurry the picking of their cotton
and bring it to Denison to be put
in ci-culation.
Edgar Luton, secretary, of the
organization, led the discussion
regarding the premiums. The exact
amounts of the premiums have not
been decided That will be de-
termined following a canvass of
the Denison merchants Tuesday to
enlist their cooperation.
Mr. Hill, in a statement to tho
Junior Chamber of Commerce said
that he had been out a ..ong ihe
farmers in this section for several
days and many of them were pick-
ing their cot on and that he ex-
pected tlie first bales to be brought
to Denison for ginning Wednesday
or Thursday of this week.
It was made known that many
of the farmers that previously had
been taking their cotton to Bon-
ham for ginning had ex reasad
themselves as being willing to
come to Denison for the job.
