Make Gottoii Your Servant
We should “live at home,” of
course, but merely to make
enough to exist at home is not
enough. The Southern farmer
can make money growing corn
and stock, as Western farmers
do, and can thereby acquire the
comforts that they enjoy. The
old idea of considering cotton -
making the farmer’s supreme
purpose in life, and all other
crops as mere “supplies,” is what
has brought us to our present de-
plorable plight. Cotton has been
King indeed, and the cotton
farmer the servant. And this can
be done only by adopting a
thoroughgoing system of diversi-
fied farming—not merely “sup-
plies” to enable the farmer to
“live at home,” but profitable
money crops and stock raising to
enable him to have all the com-
forts and conveniences that farm-
ers in other sections enjoy.
Old Aesop has a fable which
comes appropriately to mind just
here:
“A poor man, who longed to
get rich, used to pray day and
night for wealth, to a Wooden
Idol which he had in his house.
Notwithstanding all his prayers,
instead of becoming richer he got
poorer. Out of all patience with
his Idol, he one day took it by
the legs and dashed it to pieces
upon the floor. Hundreds of gold
pieces, which had been hidden in
the body, flew about the room.
Transported at the Sight, he ex-
claimed: ‘How have I wasted my
time in worshiping a graceless
deity, who yields to force what he
would not grant to prayers.’ ”
The farmers of the South have
been in much the same condition
as the poor man in the fable.
They have made themselves the
humble, servile slaves of King
Cotton only to get poverty for
their pains. Now let them assert
their independence and have
done forever with the idol-wor-
ship that has set him up as the
one god of Southern agriculture,
and he will rain golden showers
nn them in return.—The Progres-
sive Farmer.
Texas Industrial Congress Notes.
That the work of the Texas In-
dustrial Congress in encouraging
scientific agriculture is widely
recognized as being practical is
evidenced by the following para-
graph appearing originally in the
Springfield (Mass.) Republican
and reproduced by the Boston
Transcript.:
“Mention was recently made
of the Montana farmer, who won
a $1,000 silver cup for prize
wheat at the New York land show
last November, and now wants to
sell it because it is too big for a
sugar bowl and too small for a
churn. He has a big family and
a three-room house and his de-
sire is quite reasonable. In Tex-
as the Industrial Congress is
sensibly distributing $10,000 in
gold for agricultural prizes.
After all, farming is not golf or
yachting.”
97 cash prizes, aggregating
$10,000, are offered by the Con-
gress this year in five different
classes for corn, cotton, kaffir
corn, or mito maize, either irri-
gated or unirrigated, and for
model farms.
The Congress will send full in-
formation concerning the contest,
together with entry blanks to
anyone wishing to compete for
the prizes. Its headquarters are
at Dallas.—By Request.
I have moved my livery and
veterinary business to the Gracy
stables, where I will be pleased
to have calls for. work in either
line. J. C. Earnest. ditf
The Educated Man.
From time immemorial a man
who h,as been to school has been
called educated and one who has
been to college has been called
highly educated.
Education has been supposed
to begin when school life began
and to end with school or college
graduation. After that a new
existence began, called “life.”
According to the modern idea,
education is life, of which the
school work is only a part. It
begins with life; it is never
finished. It is a gradual change
wrought in the mind by the ac-
tion of the mind itself and can
never cease.
The world of things and of
people is the chief means of ed-
ucation. The flowers, the birds,
the changing of the seasons, the
experiences of life and the peo-
ple we meet, set at work the pow-
ers of thought and feeling and
will, and by this work a man is
educated.
, The necessities of life by stim-
ulating to thought and exertion
educate. Because a man must
have food and clothes and shelter
he must think and plan and
work. Hand and eye and brain
are trained together. Therefore
the skilled artisan is an educated
man.
The unknown in nature stimu-
lates some men. To uncover na-
ture’s secret requires keen and
p atient observation and a genius
for hard work. Hence, discov-
erers are educated men.
But the most important/part of
education comes from inter-
course with people. , From this
side comes the education in love
and duty and service.
The action of people stimulate
imitation and emulation. By
these men grow in power and
skill. From observation of the
character of people men form
ideals of character for them-
selves and are transformed there-
by. Herein lies the consummate
educative power in Christianity—
the transforming power of the
Divine Man.
^ A^gorfeg to -thi^rrew idea,
education is not merely^ receiv-
ing but giving; not learning,
alone but doing. The educated
man is open-eyed and open-?
minded, quick to respond to in-
fluences from without, learning
from all his experiences and
growing in power as he grows in
knpwledge.
Education is an individual
matter. No two men can be ed-
ucated alike in manner or de-
gree. They respond to different
influences and grow in different
ways. One becomes educated by
the way of schools and colleges
and life, another by life alone.
The measure of a man’s educa-
tion is the measure, of his use in
the world.—George H. Martin.
Fined One Thousand Dollars.
Galveston, Texas. — Pleas of
guilty were made in the federal
court here by Charles Horn
and Fred M. Schulz, president
and secretary of the Brazos Coast
Investment Company. The for-
mer was fined $1000 and the lat-
ter $500. The fines were im-
mediately paid and a bond given
for payment of costs as soon as
ascertained.
The men were charged with
selling lands near Velasco, Texas,
to large numbers of northern
purchasers, that were not as rep-
resented,'and with conducting a
lottery through the United States
mails in connection with the dis-
tribution of the lands.
About 14,000 acres were in-
volved and 100 witnesses were
present, to whom the sud'den ter-
mination of the case came as a
surprise.

We’re Opposed
I to
Mail Order Concerns
Because— 1 n
They have never contributed
a cent to furthering the interests
of our town—
Every cent received by them
from this community is a direct
loss to our merchants—
In almost every case their
prices can be met right here,-
without delay in receiving goods
and the possibility of mistakes
in filling orders. ,
But—
The natural human trait is to
buy where goods are cheapest.
Local pride is usually second-
ary in the game of life as
played today.
Therefore
Mr. Merchant and Business
Man, meet your competitors
with their own weapons—
. advertising.
Advertise!
The local field is yours. All
you need do is to avail your-
self of the opportunities offered.
An advertisement in this paper
will carry your message into
hundreds of homej in this com-
munity. It is the surest medium
of killing your greatest com-
petitor. A space this size
vWon’t cost much. Come in
and see U3 about it.
