Commenting upon the above irfci-

says: ’
“The above item recalls an inci-
dent that occurred a few years ago at
Fremont, when Brand Whitlock
wasn’t quite so famous as he is is
today. Motoring through the San-
dusky county metropolis, he end his
wife stopped at the FremSnt House
for dinner. Entering the dining room
they took their dog with them and
insisted on having a seat for the ani-
mal at the table. Landlord Lins
politely informed Mr. Whitlock that
dogs were not allowed in the dining
room.
“The dog stays or I go,” said
Whitlock haughtily.
“Sorry, but the dog can’t stay,”
replied the landlord, and the Whit-
loek party left in a huff for Toledo,
where folks are not sp particular about
their table companions.”

mitted by theW;hief of the intelligence
department of the All-Russian Gov-

alone is placed at 12,280,000 liv'es.

ed several requests from school tea-
chers who already are requiring their
classes in the sixth and seventh grad-
es to familiarize themselves with
these facts as they appehr from day to
day, asking for the data in book form
for use in their classroom work.
’Following are some of the terse
facts about Texas which have appear-
ed since the inauguration of this ser-
vice:
Texas produces one fifth of the cot-
ton crop of the world. Its value last
year was in excqss of $400,000,000.
Texas and Louisiana yield 99 per
cent of all the sulphur produced in the
United States.
'Texas ranks second in rice grow-
ing. The value of the 1918 crop was
$15,445,000.
The value of the ten principal
crops in Texas in 1918 was $676,041,-
000, or $144 for every man, woman
and child within its confines.
Fifty counties in Texas last year
produced one-tenth of the world’s sup-
ply of cotton.
■ Texas has produced for the first
nine months of this year more oil than
it has yielded during any other two
years since production began. Texas
production January to Oct. 1, 1919,
was 79,760,782 barrels.
Texas has more separate farms than
any other State and has more than
Kansas and Iowa combined.
Terras leads all States in the Union
in the production of broom corn. Last
year’s crop was worth $4,992,000.
Texas ranks fourth among the Stat-
es in peach growing. The 1918 crop
was 2,041,000 bushels, worth $4,082,-
000.
Texas produced 6,046,000 bushels of
sweet potatoes with market value of
$8;830,000.
Texa3 last year produced one-eighth
of the total peanut crop of the Uni-
ted States. Its production was 7,117,-
000 bushels, worth $14,661,000.
SUFFERED SINCE
HE WAS A CHILD
.
Hardly
Realize How Miserably
He Was Before He Took
Tanlac.
“I feel so fine and well now,I can
hardly realize how miserable I was
before I started taking Tanlac,” said
J. F. Melcher, of 319 West Ninth
street, Houston, Texas.
“1 had a weak stomach ever since I
was a child,” he continued, “and had
to be particular about everything I
would eat, for the least little thing
would upset me and cause me no end
of suffering. My system seemed to
be full of malaria and I would come
down with fever every year. I could
hardly sleep for nervousness, was
constipated and would feel so tired,
worn out and drowsy all day long that
I wasn’t fit for a thing.
“I took plenty of medicine, but it
did me good. Finally 1 tried a
bottle of Tanlac and found I was
improving on it. Since taking Tan-
lac I can eat most anything I want
and have no trouble digesting my
food, my nerves are steady and I
sleep like a log at night. I am
stronger and better than I have been
in a long time and I never get tired,
no matter how hard I work. Tanlac
in a great medicine an3 I can’t praise
it enough for the good it has done me.’
All druggists sell Tanlac.--Adv.
NEWSPAPER SHOP TALK.
As illustrating the prestige which
the home paper enjoys Mrs. C. P.
Estes of Coleman says that after she
reads the Democrat-Voice she sends
it to her daughter in Dallas, who, in
turn, forwards the paper to a sister in
Washington.
Recently a Coleman advertiser re-
ceived an inquiry from a man in Long
Island, New York, who had perchance
picked up a copy of the D.-V. in a
street car in Forest Hill district, Long
Island. Evidently Louis Litt, a form-
er Coleman citizen who now lives at
Forrest Hill, accidentally left a copy
of the D.-V. on the street car seat—
and had a fuss'with Mrs. Litt when
he reached home.

KNOW YOUR OWN STATE,
A news dispatch from 'Washington
■a few days ago said:
“When the King and Queen of the
Belgians came to Washington, Mrs.
Brand jVhitlock, vgife of the ambas- , , _r_
sador to Belgium, drove to the station j already has become so great that it is
The Texas Chamber of Commerce
has inaugurated a "Know Your Own
State” propaganda intended to pro-
vide the people of -Texas with in-
formation along these lines, served in
homeopathic doses to daily newspa-
per readers.
Although this service was inaugu-
rated primarily for daily newspaper
readers, the .demand for the data
the Fourth Estate says:
“Newspaer advertisement^hre' ex-
cellent agencies making for thrift,
economy and wealth. They are home
savings banks, handy bankbooks and
not infrequently proofs against fam-
ily jars and divorces. Next to the
Bible, says the New York Herald,
they are the most important house-
hold guides ever, set up. >
A good advertisement is proof of
the power of suggestion and the psy-
chological potency, of printer's ink
mixed with brains. As a magnet
attracts the needle so .a newspaper
advertisement attracts the reader and
draws the crowd.
Suggestisn creates want and want
creates purchases. There is a direct
connection between the suggestion and
the. purchase. The extent of the pur-
chase is in direct ratio to the power
of the suggestion.
Newspaper advertisements are_ for
the benefit of the advertiser. This
may sound strange, but it is true.
That the public hitherto has not
realized it is due to the fact that
most persons have looked at an ad-
vertisement as they look at dry
goods and articles of food. The ad-
vertisement is not the article but the
idea behind it, the guideboard that
leads to it, the bridge that safely car-
ries the troubled householder or weary
breadearner to safety.
Trade-marks familiarize; figures
vitalize. Prices tell the story to the
prospective purchaser, and prices hon-
estly revealed in figures usually mean
good goods, fair profits and no profi-
teering. The result is satisfied cus-
tomers.
Prices made clear and prominent ih
advertisement prohibit profiteering.
Prices openly made are guarantees of
^square deal. Hence the value of
newspaper advertising with plain fi-
gures all can read.
Prices in good newspaper adver-
tisements are measured not by prof-
it, but by service. That is the keynote
of the ad writer—the song he sings as
he builds an attractive advertisement
out of facts,'figures and genius.
He is society’s benefactor, the
country’s deserving citizen, for he
tells the people wh#re they can save
money, and in saving money assist
in saving their Nation and the Na-
tion’s financial and economic honor.
Newspaer advertising and prices are
co-partners in the groat firm of
Thrift, Success & Co.”

kEGARDLES.S of all other considerations — the
wagon does not; fit the road. Any advantages it might
possess are offset by the fact that it ia a stranger on its own
roads. It rides the ridges, which causes broken axles,
wheels and other parts, and the tongue whips about which is hard
on the team, *
The justly famous Weber wagon « built only in 56" auto-track because
this is the standard approved tread of automobiles — and the automobile
makes the ruts in mud or soft roads. If the farm wagon is not made to follow
the same path it is out of date for road service. Automobiles are increasing
among farmers because they are a time-saving necessity, and every farmer
who hasn't an automobile intends to procure one ct the earliest opportunity.
The Weber 56* auto-track wagon wtd do everything that the^old 60*
wagon would do. It will haul cotton bales as easily as the wide track wagon
and the team can draw the load without having to pull every inch of the way.
It lends itself just as readily to all kinds of farm work and in addition it fits
the prevailing road tracks. ,
Besides the auto-track feature the new Weber ha*, the patented Fifth
Wheel and the “Safety First" Swivel Reach Coupling — two advantages that
•re worth $20 apiece to the user during the life of the wagon.

THEA/NIVERS AL car
Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford cars
now in use, about sixty percent have been sold
to: farmers. Probably no other one thing has
brought to the farm so much of comfort and
profit as has the Ford car. It has enlarged
the social life, doubled the facilities for market-
ing, brought the town next door to the farm,
multiplied for the farmer the pleasures ofliving.
A family car without an equal in low cost of
operation and maintenance. We solicit your
order for one now because the demand is large
and continually increasing. ,

Insurance Man Tells
of Friend’s Recovery
“He suffered considerably from gas
in stomach and colie attacks, and at
times was very yellow. His doc-
tors diagnosed his ailment as gall
bladder trouble and that an operation
was necessary. Some one persuaded
him to try Mayr’s Wonderful Rem-
edy. Since taking it one year ago he
tells me he has been able to eat any-
thing.” It is a simple, harmless pre-
paration that removes the catarrhal
mucus from the intestinal tract and
allays the inflammation which causes
practically all stomach, liver and in-
testinal ailments, including appendi-
citis. One dose will convince or mon-

Chicago recently to compete in the
-international stock judging contest

is the second time that A. & M. Col-

the greatest showing ever made.
Cedar Gap Well Has Showing.
Abilene, Texas, Dec. 1.—Another
fine showing of oil and gas has been
found in Hamilton No. 1 of R. H.
Allison, in Cedar Gap, fourteen miles
south of Abilene.
A strqpg showing of oil and gas
was ,struck Friday evening at 1,850
feet. The drillers have been having
trouble with a large boulder in the
bottom of the well, having drilled
through the same bolder, it is reported
six times. Limestone was pounded
into the hole Saturday to Arrest the
movements of the boulder and make
drilling possible. Several showings of
oil and gas have been found in this
well. The locating geologist, I. N.
