fceorge Brown, the all-round
3k man, was among the pleas-
callers on The Leader. He
^ill buying and selling cattle,
makes a profit, as most of
le do who devote their atten-
ito such work.
Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Cameron
spent a day or two of the past
week at the ranch of T. O. Har-
rell, sr., in the northern part of
the county. They report a pleas-
ant outing, and say Mr. Harrell
has one of the nicest places in
the oounty, the land being of a
rich and fertile character, and
the view of the surrounding
country being very attractive.

Fire Prevention.
Electricity is a wonderful thing.
It is a trinity of mysteries. It has
light, it has power, it has heat.
When properly confined it is
man’s servant; it is woman’s
labor saver.
But familiarity with electricity
breeds DANGER. It provides
fuel for the fire demon. It works
in a wonderful way. A careful
inspection of wiring today may
save a cankering regret tomor-
row.
There is no light of prosperity,
no power to undo, no heat to
make the heart glow in the ruins
of a home.
Is your house wired properly?
Has time corroded the insulation
that confines thisjjwonderful fluid
in the little copper wires? Don’t
suppose so—do you know it?
If the wiring in your residence
is not properly inspected you may
pay out the savihgs of a life time
as a result.
Play safe!—S. W. Inglish,
Austin, State Fire Marshal.
Farmers are Sowing Grain.
It is probable the acreage in
grain for the coming crop year
will be the largest in the history
of this part of Texas. One man
on being asked as to the aoreage
in grain, said he would sow over
one hundred acres, and had for-
merly sown less than fifty. Ask-
ed as to what acreage he would
plant to cotton, he said about
twenty-five, where he had for-
merly planted one hundred acres
or more. ~.
It is the same way all over the
county. Men who have been
wedded to cotton are divoroing
themselves and their tenants from
this product, and putting the land
in small grain ,. and plan to plant
more largely of corn and other
feed crops in the spring than they
have ever practiced before.
Now, if these same farmers
will provide a good herd of hogs,
see that the poultry is properly
looked after, purchase a few
sheep, keep several good brood
mares and a number of the best
breed of milch cows, they will
find prosperity coming their way,
as it never did under the one
crop, and that of cotton. The
South has raised too much cot-
ton for many years, and when
the boll weevil reduced the crop
and raised the price, they thought
it 'was demand—instead of the
weevil—and again planted a crop
for which there was no market.
Diversification, with live stock
of proper character as a side line
to the farm, will make money for
both the owner of the land and
the man who is but a tenant on a
farm which he does not own. Try
it this year, and by all means re-
duce the aoreage in cotton.
Counsel of Confidence.
“If the banks, the merchants
and the ginners throughout the
south will quit taking counsel of
fear and will go forward with
confidence, the situation will, I
believe, improve still further.”—
Formal statement by Secretary
MoAdoo, on the ootton situation.
Faithfully, patriotically and
sensibly to take counsel of confi-
dence is indeed the prescription
for remedying a situation that,
economically at least, is more fic-
titious than real.
There is nothing wrong, noth-
ing honeycombed at the base of
the American commercial and
financial structures. This has
been shown in countless ways,
though incontrovertible faots and
figures of trade relations, export
demands, the scope of domestic
merchandising, the condition of
the federal treasury, the condi-
tion of the country’s banks.
Much of the uncertainty, much
of what Mr. McAdoo calls the
counsel of fear,” may be charg-
ed directly to calamity howlers
who are in public office or who
find their way into the publio
prints. Much of- the popular
misunderstanding now emphasiz-
ed in the news reports of the re-
ception of more or less fragile
schemes to oounter a temporary
let-up in the demand for produots
or a temporary stiffening in
domestic prices, is directly due
to the errors of some few publio
men who are exhibiting to the
people a lot of very confused,
complex and fallacious “emer-
gency” remedies.
The call is to go forward, to
co-operate and to confide. The
food price situation is being met,
the export situation is steadily
bettering, the prioes of cotton
is advancing with encouraging
strength, the people gradually
are being shown that the orop
situation of this year can be ac-
commodated with but very
little more trouble than has
characterized the procedure in
any brief “off” season of the
past.
Confidence, based on real con-
ditions and genuine facts, is more
than half the battle. Fear, based
on artificial and artful manipula-
tion of conditions and on theoretic
polioies that cannot stand the
acid test of prompt and general
application, will be responsible
for the bulk of whatever hard-
ship may be occasioned.—San
Antonio Express.

“Mr. Bob,” a play of merit,
was presented by looal talent at
the opera house Thursday night
to a good audienoe. Something
near $50 was cleared for the pub-
school library fund, and will be
invested in good books for those
in the higher classes. Nothing
stimulates study like plenty of
proper and interesting books for
the young.
M. M. Denson and family are
again in this section, having ar-
rived on the night of the 12th.
Mrs. Denson is with her father,
Dr. J. C. Teiry, on the Lampasas
river, and it is probable that Mr.
Denson will go to work at onoe
for the Santa Fe, taking a posi-
tion at Temple for extra man on
some of the trains. They have
been in Montana sufficient length
of time to pre-empt a home,
which they now have seoure, and
propose at some future time to
return to it and make Montana
their place of residence. Friends
here regret that they can not be
claimed as permanent citizens,
but it may be that developments
will cause them to remain in
Lampasas oounty.
Trouble With the Phone.
“I do have the worst trouble
with the phone! ”
“What’s the cause?”
“The service, of course. Let
me show you. Hello, exchange,
hello. Why don’t you answer? I
want Mrs. Brown. What num-
ber? Sixty-two Tanglefoot street.
Number? I just told you? Oh,
that? You mean her telephone
number? Why,it’s—there, you’ve
gone and put it out of my head.
I’ll have to look in the book.
Dear, dear, the book is upstairs.
Well, I never in all my life saw
suoh servioe!”
