cede that, according to their
lights, they strike well for the
good of others.
Their eyes are fixed on high
achievement and with fidelity to
conviction they blend patience
and persistence and the time for
ridiculing them has passed.
They have “arrived.”—Houston
Chronicle.
B. W. Fox, the #11-round farm-
er and stockman, who has made
his hoine on Mesquite creek for
more than twenty years, was in
to advance the dates on two
copies of this paper which he
has taken regularly for more
than sixteen years. He is an all-
round farmer, with a strong lik-
ing for corn, realizing as he once
said that “those who have plenty
of oorn usually have plenty of
other things.” He tells of one
little flea-bitten mare which has
brought him nearly $1000 worth
of stock, and of other experi-
ences which he has had in stock'
raising and farming. The man
who patterns after Ben Fox in
farming and' caring for stock
will surely succeed, provided he
exercises the same character of
industry and prudence. that this
gentleman does. He began here
with practically nothing—herd-
ing sheep—and is now a large
landowner in addition to his suc-
cess in other things. May his
good fortune continue.
The weather has been rather
cold and bracing for several
days, Jmt it is the season for
such weather, and is heartily
welcomed by those who desire to

Activities ef Women.
Old-fashioned ideas are pass-
ing. It is not meant by this
statement that the wholesome
old-fa9hioned standards of living
and conduct as applied to woman
being discarded or relegated
the background. What is
meant is that the women of the’
country have entered into
spheres of activity and are con-
cerning themselves with matters
with which in early days it was
thought they had nothing to do,
and with which they, were not
permitted to, or at least did not
meddle.
Now they are to the front, yet
we hear of no domestic calami-
ties. In one city the National
Suffrage Association met a few
days ago, in another the Wom-
an’s Christian Temperance Un-
ion—enthusiastic, devoted and
irrepressible—met and fprayed
and planned to war on liquor;
in another the Federation of
Women’s Clubs met and discuss-
ed live practical issues which
heed discussion.
The talk which some people in-
dulge in about woman getting
out of her sphere and mixing in
where she has no business is
sheer nonsense. None of the or-
ganizations named above has
proposed to do anything which,
if it could be accomplished,
would not be for the betterment
of human conditions. They are
not contriving for their own ag-
grandizement; they are not plan-
ning for selfish ends. They are
not grafters nor scheming poli-
ticians. Whether any man agree
or disagree with them, if honest
and fair-minded, he must con-
An Emotionalist.
“So you’re hanging around broke
again?” said the policeman. “Yes,”
answered Bill the Burglar. “I haven’t
a cent. I broke Into a house night
before last, and the poor mark of
a . taxpayer told me such a liard-luck
story that he had me sheddin’ tears
an’ lendin’ him my last cent.”
Poison Water is Bubbling ?n Texas.
Guadalupe, Texas.—One small
drink of the water of “Stinking
Seep,” a small spring that is
situated in Culberson County,
about fifteen miles southwest of
here, means certain death to
whatever liying thing that im-
bibes. The spring is in the heart
of a desert region and countless
numbers of cattle, wild animals
and birds have come across it
and in a half famished condition
drank from the little pool of
water. Within a few minutes
they fell to the ground in the
throes of death. For many yards
surrounding the spring the
ground is strewn with bones of
the victims of the deadly water.
It is said that in the early days
before the fatal properties of the
spring were generally known
many wayfaring men who hap-
pened along the dim trail that
runs near welcomed the Bight of
the small hole of water and
brought quick end to their lives
by drinking of it. Its dangerous
qualities are now so well known
that human beings avoid it, and
the cattle of the ranch are pro-
tected from it. It is only birds
and wild animals that now fall
victims to its death dealing
effects.
. Dr. William B. Philips of Aus-
tin, director of the bureau of
economic geology and technology
of the University of Texas, visit-
ed the “stinking Seep” not long
ago and took from it a sample of
the water, which he analyzed.
This analysis shows 79 grains of
free sulphuric acid per gallon
and a trace of arsenic. Some of
the water which Dr. Phillips
placed in a galvanized iron buck-
et ate a hole through the bottom
of the bucket within thirty hours.

Bringing Trade
to Texas
From many countries scattered throughout the world the demand
for the oil products of Texas comes in ever-increasing volume.
Month after month large cargoes of oil in cases, barrels and bulk
are shipped to ports throughout the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans.
Up among the snows, down on the equator, in the miasma dis-
tricts of Africa, East of Suez throughout the mysterious Oriental
countries; back of the Red Sea into Persia and Asia Minor, in the
Balkans and other parts of Europe, from Panama to the Magellan
Straits, the money starts back to Texas in payment for the manu-
factured oil products of The Texas Company.
Conducting all its manufacturing in the State of Texas, giving
employment to thousands of workers in Texas and support to a
score of industries, the growth of The Texas Company in the ex-
port field is bringing trade of many millions to this State from the
whole world.
One thing made the growth possible-—that one idea established
by the founders of The Texas Company and carried out to this
day—quality goods and adequate service.
Quality and service are bringing this enormous and rapidly in-
creasing trade to the State. The quality and service which have
made the five-pointed star and T emblem of The Texas Company
known from the Atlanjic Coast of America to the East of China.
You can secure this same quality and service in your town. A
Texaco distributing station is at hand, our agent is ready to serve
you.
Call on him, quality and service are of value to 3^ou as they are to
the foreign user! of oil. Take advantage of it by ordering from him.

It Always Helps
says Mrs. Sylvania Woods, of Clifton Mills, Ky., in
writing of her experience with Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. She says further: “Before I began to use
Cardui, my back and head would hurt so bad, ,1
thought the pain would kill me. I was hardly able
to do any of my housework. After taking three bottles
of Cardui, I began to feel like a new woman. I soon
gaifted 35 pounds, and now, I do all my housework,
as well as run a big water mill.
I wish every suffering woman would give
The Woman’s Tonic
a trial. I still use Cardui when I feel a little bad,
and it always does me good.”
Headache, backache, side ache, nervousness,
tired, worn-out feelings, etc., are sure signs of woman-
ly trouble. Signs that you need Cardui, the woman’s
tonic. You cannot make a mistake in trying Cardui
for your trouble. It has been helping weak, ailing
women for more than fifty years.
