sisting any attempt at down-
ward revision of the present tar
iff duties on mohair, wool, sheep, i

mitted to all voters of the coun-

Tari ffPolicy that will equalize
the cost of production between
this country and foreign coun-|
tries, to the end that American1
standards of living may bei
maintained.”
The formation of the Kimble j
County Tariff Club is a continu-
ation of the program of tliej

cry county in the eighteen south
ern states. During the jiast
thirty days similar organiza-
tions havt been formed in Tom
Green, Menard, McCullough,
Irion, Pecos, Sanderson, Schlei-
cher, Reagan, Sutton, Crockett,

States has the power to decrease
or increase existing schedules

tions asking for a decrease in
the tariff schedules on wool have
been filed with the United States
Tariff Commission in Washing-
ton.
The Southern Tariff Associa-
tion, through its local clubs all
over the south will strenuously
oppose any attempt at down-
ward revision of the import du-
ties on farm and ranch products
I of Texas and the South.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO TELL IT—THEY KNOW IT.
Number 97.
You don’t have to tell how you live each day,
You don’t have to say if you work or you play;
A tried, true barometer serves in the place_
However you live, it will show in your face
§ §
false* the deceit, that you bear in your heart
Will not stay inside where it first got the start;
For sinew and blood are a thin veil of lace—
What you wear in your heart you wear in your face-
ts ^
If you’ve gambled and won in the great game of life,
If you feel you have conquered the sorrow and strife
If you ve played the game fair and stand on first base-
You don t have to say so, it shows on vour face.
§ §
If you dissipate nights till the day is most nigh
I here is only one tattler, and one that won’t lie;
Since your facial barometer is right in its place—
You don t have to tell folks, it shows in your face
g §
If your life is unselfish, if for others you live,
For not what you get, hut how much vou can give;
If you live close to God in his infinite grace—
You don’t have to tell it, it shows in your face.
—Lottie Pratt Brown.
