People from the country tell us the
roads are in a fearful condition, an
unanswerable and unimpeachable wit-
ness for the necessity and importance
of ^letter roads.
The recent announcement of the
Germanic powers to regard armed*
merchant ships of their enemies as
war ships, has called a halt in the
settlement of the Lusitania case, and
it appears there will have to be more
notes sent out.
The press dispatches ncs more than
onoe had General ‘ Villa, the-outlawed
Mexican in dose straits^—at one time
surrounded in the hills and just on the
eve of final capture and execution. But
it seems he still exists and-promises
to give the defacto government of
Mexico more and additional trouble.
Recent reports, seemingly well au-
thenticated, are in effect that he is
rallying again his supposed- defunct
forces ii\ considerable numbers and
says he will convince the United
States government that it i made a
mistake in recognizing Carranza as a
leader to correct the evils and reform
the government.

As an evidence of the value of cot-
ton in making gun powder, it is assert-
ed that three million bales was used
4
last year, two million in Europe and
one million in the United States.
Some weeks ago we heard “Uncle”
John Buford remark, he had invested
quite a little bill in plum trees. Some-
one present said, “what did you do
that for? You’ll never'live to eat
them.” Perhaps not, Mr. Buford re-
plied, but if I don’t somebody else
will.” Doubtless, our esteemed and
prized citizen remembered when he
was a boy, some one had set plum
trees for him, and herein, applies his
high sense of the law of reciproc ty,
to leave behind him a country as good
as he found it. In after years the chil-
dren and grandchildren of our friend
may sit under the trees uis wisdom
has fostered, and say, this is an an-
nual luxury our father has bequeathed
for us to enjdy—let us preserve and
perpetuate it.
The recent change in the rates of
the Lone Star Insurance Union has
caused a little apprehension on the
part of some of our members, as up to
this time they had not received the
rate sheets and by-laws and naturally
they-.,wanted to know just what they
would have to pay in future, Now,
that the Constitution and By-Laws
which contain the rates, (just deliver-
ed by the printers) have been mailed
opt*to them, their fear will be dis-
pelled. , ' ' ■ • i
The feeling seemed to be that the
rdtes w ould be raised, all of which is a
sad mistake, as to the whole member-
ship. In truth there w’ill be more rates
lowered than advanced. It is simply
an equitable readjustment. All of
the young members in Classes B and
C will be greatly reduced in rates,
some of them as much as $15.00 to $18
per annum, w'hile the older members
will pay more than previously, but not
more than it actually costs to carry it.
Not a single kick has come to this
office from members under 60 years
of age. Most of them are greatly de-
lighted with the change. On the new'
plan every member pays according to
age, (which is the only fair and just
way to handle insurance) and not in
groups and classes as before. You
can readily see the younger ihembers
in classes pay too much and the older
ones too little, which is of,course, un-
fair to the younger people.
We have had quite a number of ap-
plications already for policies under
our new plan and we expect our grow-
th .will be greater this year than last,
as those who are posted on insurance
want only that which is safe and
sound, foi^they also know rates under
ours are not safe and will not pass the
valuations, and w'ill soon have to be
increased or go out of business as a
large number of them have done with-
in the past years.
All members wanting a level or
while-life rate policy, giving paid up
and extended insurance values or cash
an* loan values, based upon the Am-
erican Experience Table of Mortality,
can get it by applying, without ex-
pense or re-examination and they may
also take additional insurance. A great
many have already spoken for more •:?
our insurance. These new rates and
this change has been approved by the
Commissioner of Insurance and Bank-
ing at Austin Texas.

Lone Star-Insurance Union.

Announcements
The following candidates submit
their names to the voters of Hopkins
county, subject to the action of the
Democratic Primary election, next
July:
FRENCH APPROPRIATION BILL
Government Expects to Spend $15,-
736,000 Daily for Three Months.
Paris, Ffeb. 15.—An appropriation of
T,$18,000,000 francs for the second
quarter of 1916 Is provided in a bill
introduced in the Chamber of Deputies
today by Alevandre Ribot, Minister of
Finance. Of this amount all but 657,-
000,000 francs is for military purposes.
The amount provided in the hill is
330,000,000 francs more than was ap-
propriated for the first quarter. Vir-
tually all of this increase is for artil-
lery and accessories.
It appears from the nancial portion
of the bill that 1 ranee has advanced
to Belgium 600,000,000 francs, to Ser-
bia 165,000,000 to Greece 5,000,000 and
to Montenegro 400,000.
At a special election held at Waco
.Tuesday, ii was declared by a vote of
nearly four to one that moving pic-
tures may be operated on Sunday;
feence, the formal ordinance providing
that picture shows may remain open
on Sunday wilt soon meet the approv-,
al of the city commission.
The recent rains have retarded
farm work; oat sowing will be de'.ay-
ed— but how can we tell, whether this
«r that shall prosper. The great Di-
rector of the seasons and the affairs
of men, has issued His order to “sow
in the morning and in the evening to
'grithhold not your hand.”
From interviews with farmers from
different sections, we are led to be-
lieve they will in a large measure
stand by their policy of last season,
and grow a good supply of feed stuff.
When one grows his own bread and
meat and feed stuff; eats fcis own eggs
and chickens, lubricates his throat
with delicious milk, spreads his Jer
sey butter over his home grown bread,
he is rounding up a happy condition.
Indeed, the time has come, when he
may close the door of his independent
home, kiss Mollie and the babies and
lie down on his couch as the concen-
trated Nobility of the land.
While this “preparedness” for our
National safety is being considered,
let us carry the proposition into local
quarters. Never before in the history'
of this government has such oppor-
tunities been given for an aggressive
warfare on the possibilities of the soil
—beyond the waters the great war is
on; great stores of feed and stock mu-
nitions will be in demand at profit-
able and remunerative prices—hence,
the policy of American farmers should
be ,to grow every possible bushel of
grain and other supplies, build more
and bigger feed and storehouses and
fill them up—for a season give cotton
the cold shoulder, and get prepared to
live at home, and profit from the ne-
cessities of others.
WHY IT PAYS TO READ THE ADS.
Get a piece of paper and a pencil
ajid make a list of the business men
of this town. Now cross off the names
of the ones who do not atfvertise. The
names remaining on the list are the
names of the men who are not only
doing most of the business in this city,
but they are the names of the men
who have their shoulder back of every
enterprise that goes to make up a
better town. You have found, too,
that the quality of the goods and ser-
vice that you get while you are buying
are away ahead of what the non-ad-
vertiser gives you. The advertising
merchant shgres with his customer the
profit he makes on the volume of busi-
ness his advertisements in this paper
bring into his store.—Strawn Tribune.

'We have often heard that a late
Master forecasted azv early Spring. If
thi sbe true, we are to have an early
akening in the vegetable kingdom,
owever, it might not be the proper
thing to plant your gardens now, seeing
that we can’t tell what the weather
Will be. , Experience has taught the
producers that the best seeding time
im when the soil is well pulverized,
tram and the old hickory trees are
“agniiTel footing.”
m. J«- «
Many fanners were in town this
week making the necessary prepara-
tion to get up their supplies incidental
for the coming crop. There’s nothing
like preparedness and getting full
ready for .your work. The past few
- ,
days have been ideal and everybody is
encouraged, and the time is near
when our local creators in partner-
ship with the Master Creator will pro-
ceed to harness up the irresistable
combination of well directed effort,
the soil and the seasons, to the end
of laying the predicate for a bountiful
crop, and as a consequence an abund-
ant prosperity.
Just to show how little signed pe
titions mean, how careless men are in
signing them, and what importance
should be attached to them when pre-
sented, a man of Abilene, Kansas,
prepared a petition urging the Gov-
ernor to "shorten the road to Tipper-
ary.” He went out and secured about
200 signatures to this petition in a few
hours, the signers including many
bankers and merchants and one minis-
ter. We are told that many years ago
a Honey Grove wag prepared a peti-
tion asking that a leading citizen be
hanged, and that several persons
signed it without reading the caption.

HOG FIGRUES ENCOURAGING
Federal estimates of the number of
hogs on Texas farms and ranges Jan.
1 places the total at 3,300,000—a gain
of 320,000 hogs over the preceding
year. Let’s see. Figuring these 320,-
000 at an average weight of 150
pounds, every man. woman and child
in Texas could be accommodated with
ten pounds of sausage or its equiva-
lent/ in chops or pork steaks. So ihe
Texas pork sausage per capita from
increase in hogs is very satisfying and
is more encouraging than figures “320,-
000” indicate.— Ft. Worth Star'-Tele-

WHAT CATARRH IS
It has been said that every third
person has catarrh in some form.
Science has shown that nasal catarrh *
often indicates a general weakness
of the body; and local treatments in
the form of snuffs and vapors do little,
if any good.
To correct catarrh you should treat its
cause by enriching your blood with the
dl-food m Scott's Emulsion which is,'a
medicinal food and a building-tonic, free
from alcohol or any harmful drugs. Tryit^

PREPAREDNESS HAS
ITS VICTORY A LSD.
The Young Man From Hopkins County
.
Failed: Man From Delta Didn’t
!
/
*For the sole purpose of making this
story original, suppose we start with
the moral and end with the facts. Our
moral, then, is that preparedness gets
; results, especially when accompanied,
with preseverance. Past references '-
Woodrow Wilson. Then,-the story:
A little over a week ago a youthful
couple from Cooper came tort his city
to get married. The young man, who
hailed originally from Hopkins coun-
ty, was eighteen years of age. The
bride-who-was-to-be-but—wasn’t was
said to be only fourteen. Ihcidehta^y
it may be remarked that she likewise
hailed fTqm Hopkins county. —
But when the couple arrived here
they were met at the County Clerk’s
office with insuperable obstacles—
they had no one to swear that they
were what they were not, pf age. Chief.
of Police Norman had been notified
to be on the lookout for the couple,
and be apprehended them at the Katy
station, the young man having pur-
chased tickets to Oklahoma. The girl
was taken to a hotel, while the young
man went sorrowfully on his way. A
deputy sheriff frm Delta ccunty car-
ried the girl home the next day.
And then, the very next week an-
other young man came down from
Klondfke while the girl's father was
away, according to the Cooper Review
and got her io accompany him to J ^
Klondike, where they were married.
He had prepared to get the lincense in
advance. And so ends the romance.

At an early hour Tuesday morning
*
following the mass meeting of our
citizens to lay out and construct eigt)t
good roads out of the city, our vener-
able citizen and patriot, “Uncle” Andy
Landers appeared on the public square
armed with a grandfather grubbing
hoe and a garden fork and apenl? and
boldly declared his self constituted
leadership for better highways. With
these formidable adjuncts to subduer
the rough and impassable routes of
the walks of^nen, taken in connection
with the determined and belligerent
bearing of our townsman, all doubts
vanished that the result would he
other than successful on the first
round. This is not a personal matter,
for we can make good on the corro- *
beration of Bob Hurt, who was pres-
ent and stands ready \o verify. We
love a volunteer.
