Born Saturday morning, Oct.
10, to Mr. and Mrs. Dan Briggs,
a son.
Mrs. T. A. Nichols, of Rogers,
is visiting her sister, Mrs. G. W.
Cook, of the School creek neigh-
borhood.
Mrs. J. I. Clements, who has
been visiting relatives here and
at Naruna for several days, has
returned to her home at Austin.
Mrs. V. D. Hamiter, of Santa
Anna, Coleman county, is visit-
ing her mother, Mrs. D. J. Mor-
ris, who has been ill for several
days.
J. H. Binney, who has been
here for some time with his par-
ents, has gone to McDade, Bas-
trop county, where he will be em-
ployed in school work.
Mr. and Mrs. James Hilliard
and Mrs. Eugene Peoples, who
came to attend G. W. Cook dur-
ing his last illness, death and
burial, havb returned to their
homes at Rogers,
Mrs. T. G. Alfred is at home
from Temple, where she has
been for several weeks with her
husband who is under treatment
there, but not yet able to leave
the care of the specialist who is
treating him.
Mr. and Mrs. Robert McCann
and little daughter, Robertine,
of Briggs, spent Sunday in the
Lampasas river country, with G.
W. McCann and family and oth-
er relatives, returning to Briggs
Monday. Mr. McCann is cashier
of the Briggs State Bank.
Miss Jewel Binney, the four-
teen-year-old daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. H.C.Binney who live in
Hancock Park, was stricken with
appendicitis Thursday, and for a
time it was thought best to take
her to Temple for an operation,
but this has been deferred to
await developments.
Paint or Not
is a horse worth more or less after
feed?
Hay and oats are high today; shall I
wait today and feed him tomorrow?
That’s how men do about painting
their houses and barns and fences.
Paint has been high for several years;
and so they have waited. Some are
still waiting.
Their property drops a trifle a year
and the next job of paint creeps-up
creeps-up creeps-up; it’ll take more
paint by a gallon a year; they don’t
save a cent, and the property goes-on
suffering.

C. C. French, secretary of the
Sothwestern Boys’ and Girls’
Hog Clubs, and a member of the
advisory board of the Texas In-
dustrial Congress, is earnestly
urging the farmers who intend to
reduce their cotton acreage next
year to cultivate forage crops
with which to fatten hogs for the
market. In a letter to the Con-
gress, Mr. French says:
I have read with much inter-
est of the efforts that are being
made to reduce the cotton acre-
age, but so far nothing has been
done to show the farmer what he
can substitute, profitably, for
cotton, or how to procure live-
stock for feeding purposes.
'Hie situation reminds me of a
story i ouce read: “Once upon a
time,’ the Bioiy goes, “the King
of France decided to declare war
on Italy, and called upon his
generals and engineers for plans
to get the army into Italy. When
the plans were completed, the
King said ‘Now we will declare
war.’ Then the King’s fool said,
‘Your Majesty, your plans for
getting your army into Italy are
all right, but where are your
plans for getting your army out
of Italy?’ Then the King threw
a chair at the fool, but war was
not declared.”
So the cotton farmer must have
plans for a “way out,” if he goes
into the scheme of reducing the
cotton acreage, and planting oth-
er crops.
If a cotton growing community
wants to secure milch cows, let
it form an organization and
adopt the Moser dairy plan as
outlined by the Texas Industrial
Congress; if it wants brood sows,
let them follow the example of
San Angelo and Pecos.
These two communities called
a meeting of their Chambers of
Commerce and business men,
and a finance committee was
formed; then every farmer who
wanted one or more sows wAs in-
vited to sign up for the number
he wanted. The finance com-
mittee passed on each man’s
ability to handle the number of
sows he ordered, and his ability
to meet his obligations. Then a
car of sows was bought and paid
for by the finance committee; the
hogs were dipped and inoculated
to prevent them from taking
cholera. They were sold at the
market price for meat hogs, with
cost of dipping, vaccinating and
freight charges.
I am glad to say that the Fort
Worth Stock Yards and its al-
lied interests have made arrange-
ments by which communities that
get together like Fort Stockton,
Pecos, San Angelo and other
points and act in conjunction with
their Chambers of Commerce and
banks can be supplied with high
grade or registered hogs, which
will be sent out properly immun-
ized against cholera, under su-
pervision of the state sanitary
board.—Texas Industrial Con-
gress.
Joe Herman, now making his
home at San Marcos, was mar-
ried a few days ago, and brought
his bride to Lampasas county to
visit her new relatives. They
only remained a day or two, re-
turning to San Marcos.
White Crest Never Disappoints
On the contrary it always
pleases. The cook is pleased be-
cause it shows her ability, the
housewife is pleased because the
bread is always just yight, and
all at the table are pleased be-
cause the bread is rich, whole-
some and good. White Crest
Flour—none better. Sold only

G. W. Cook died Saturday
morning at the home of his
daughter, Mrs. E. J. Perry, in
the southern part of the city. For
several months he had been in
poor health, his case being di-
agnosed as internal cancer. Some
weeks ago he went to Marlin
with a hope that the waters and
skilled physicians there would
give relief, but none came, so
he was brought to the home of
his daughter here and every pos-
sible attention was given him,
the entire family coming here to
assist in caring for the husband
and father.
Mr. Cook was about 50 years
of age, and had lived in the
northern part of this county for
something like ten years, coming
here from Bell county, where he
had formerly lived. There was
no better citizen in the county,
and his friends were as numer-
ous as his acquaintances.
He was one of the leading
members of the Baptist church
in his home community, and was
always ready to do his part in
any enterprise which would tend
to the advancement of the inter-
ests of the neighborhood.
He leaves a widow and a num-
ber of children to mourn the loss
of a faithful and loving husband
and indulgent father. They all
have the sincere sympathy of a
large circle of friends in their sad
affliction. The body was buried
at School creek cemetery Satur-
day at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.
Born Saturday morning to Mr.
and Mrs. Arthur Dickens, a
daughter.
J. F. White is attending the
fat stock show at Fort Worth this
week, and will probably make
some cattle deals while in the cow
center of the universe.
Ed Moore was a pleasant caller
at The Leader office Saturday,
his business being to advance the
date on a copy of this paper
which he sends with great regu-
larity to a brother in the Pan-
handle section of Texas.
The people were in the city
from all parts of the country
Saturday, and it was a busy day
for everybody. Merchants sold
many hundreds of dollars worth
of goods, much produce was put
on the market and there were no
idlers in any line of trade. There
is no good reason why business
should not proceed in that way
every day.
A trade of considerable magni-
tude has just been closed be-
tween W. B. Abney and J. D.
Myers, Mr. Abney taking over
the 536-acre farm on Lucy creek,
ten miles from Lampasas, upon
which Mr. Myers "‘has been living
for several years, and Mr. Myers
getting the'San Saba river valley
farm, which Judge Abney has
owned and operated for quite a
while. There are 180 acres in
cultivation on the Lampasas
county farm and 60 acres in till-
age on the San Saba valley farm,
the latter being subject to irriga-
tion from the Colorado river, and
pipes having been laid for this
purpose, but the water has so far
never been put upon the land.
It is probable Mr. Myers will con-
tinue to operate the farm where
he has been living, and then
again he may conclude to move
to San Saba county, and Judge
Abney will make bther arrange-
ments for the tilling of his farm
near here. Lands will never be
cheaper than right now and the
man who desires to own a farm
should buy while the price is low
and terms easy.
