Country Credit Conversation
(By Peter Radford)
Credit is the bheath of the
farmer’s life.
The farmer is constantly in
the money market.
The average farmer regards
debt as a natural heritage.
Interest is the worst bug that
eats the farmer’s crops.
Credit is as oil to the farmer’s
income producing machine.
The farmer must 'have
financial help or agriculture will
perish.
Give the agriculturist ample
working capital and you increase
the national stability.
Farming is the least profitable
business in America and pays
the highest interest rate.
If city borrowers had to pay
the same interest as country
borrowers, most urban enter-
prises would throw up the
sponge. '
John Cash of Dost City, came
in yesterday to visit his old
Bosque County boyhood friends.

PAUL DORBRITZ, Clifton
Definition of a Knocker.
A knocker is a moss-backed,
swivel-headed, penurious, sel-
fish, suspicious, withal an objec
tionable, hesitating, near sight*
ed fellow. His eves have a fond-
ness for scarecrows and skele-
tons, his ears seem to itch for
grunts, groans and shrieks of
distress. His voice seems a
strange combination of the
squeal of a pig,the bray of a don-
key ahd the growl of an old cof
fee mill. Perfume to him is
nauseating, but his nose laughs
at a touch of carrion. He de^
lighs to tell the inequalities of
leaving things to his children
but wants them to take care of -
themselves, like he has done.
He.dwells among the tombs
holds communion with the mom-
ies, seems sorry he is alive, and
ia tffftd that he is going to die.
A knoker is a wart on the
public nose. He is a cancerous
growth on the face of social
beauty. He is a crick on the
neck, a catch in the back, tfc
stringhalted, bklky horse in 11
team, a break upon the wagon
going up hill. The leak in the
steam chest of an engipe, the
electric battery, the discordant
note in music. Men with healthy
1
.1
spirit for public improvement
shun him as they Would a leper,
tread on him as a serpeHt and
life's business failures and is a
great prophet of evil. To him
the future is a great dungeon of, , ...
horrors. He says eDnditionSI» howj.og coyote,
have (jrown worse for a Jong j anKe- ,
time and will do so more rapidly! r, .. a* D r*»
in the future. "He has all the] - H'"S Bclr Prof,t
horrors memories without any Healthy^ h$n«, are great pro-
of the pleasures of hope. He is j hearers. Use Ross' “Dead
miserable, when he is happy.! Qoipk' • Spray about your poul-
The suggestion of any improve- ^rY- ^ 13 1 h b ''just-rigj
ment gives him the nightmare.
Stagnation is his ideal condi-
tion. -He does not believe in aBy
other outlay for the building of
schools, churches, roads and
bridges, waterworks, sewers,
sidewalks, pavements or any
other public improvements, be-
cause our fathers did not have
them, and he does not believe in

Governor Colquitt has Issued
his annual proclamation designa-
ting the second Sunday in May
as “Mothers Day.”
For Representative
Hon. J. R. Keith of Cleburne
authorizes the Record to place
his announcement in its columns
as a candidate for representative
from Johnson and Bosque Coun-i
ties to succeed Dr. Colquitt, who!
is not offering for re-election.
Mr. Keith is a prominent;
young lawyer of several years |
successful experience and claims
old friends and relatives who live iif elected’ wiH be 111 realit-v what
*
there. Mr. Reesing's friends
are expecting him to return ac-
companied by his bride who now
lives there. He has been away
eight years, leaving Norway
when only sixteen, but it is claim-
ed that in this case distance has
actually "lended enchantment.”
Curtis Glass and Antone Peter
son left last Saturday night for
Tyler where they are now stu-
dents of the Tyler Commercial
College, preparing themselves to
better meet the business
problems of their future life and
be able to command a better
salary or conduct a more suc-
cessful business for themselves
as the case may be. These are
two of Clifton’s most popular
young men and their friends are
wishing for them a successful
business career, which they
have just begun.
E. C. Bromley, Accompanied
by his wife, went to Temple last
Sunday to be treated for a
cnronic case of appendecitis.
The doctors at the Sanitarium
concurred in the diagnoses of tlie
family physician. Dr. J. Owen
Carpenter, and on last Monday
morning performed an operation
which is thought to be success-
the word implies, "a representa-
tive of the people. ”
Mr. Keith is pretty well
known in Clifton on account of
Ins frequent visits here to see bis
sister, Mrs. B. S. Hill, and has
made quite a number of friends
arnodg our people who wish him
success.
