or e tending of any firm, individual or corporation, will
be gladly corrected upon being called to the attention of
the publisher*.
A aubacriber wanta to know whore the little
red bugH go in the winter time. We cannot
aiiHwer the question. But we know where a
bunch of them are located right now.—Bon-
ham Favorite.
Those that are left must hibernate, but, believe
us, some are realy active enough in one year to
stand anybody for a life time.—Austin American.

Some men get rich as quickly as others get
poor.
In order to avoid bay fever in the summer you
should die in the winter.
Fannin county has enough feedstuff to supply
the needs of the people for the next twelve months,
and some to sell, says the Bonham Favorite. Sim-
ilar expressions come from papers in practically
every section of Texas, and if the cotton crop can
be disposed of at anything approaching a fair
price, Texas will start in on next year in better
condition than has been her portion in several
y cars.—Beaumont Enterprise.
Asquith says the war is a contest of endur-
ance. So is our neutrality.
International rules of warfare, like popular
automobiles, deteriorate with ago and use.
A 7000-ton British warship has been sunk,
which reminds us that the British are much more
careless about leaving their warships around than
are the Germans.
Suggestions that the position of the North
Pole is shifting, made by supposedly reliable sci-
entists. may be but an indication that one Dr.
Cook has joined the movies.
Villa has ordered all merchants doing business
in Chihuahua to meet at Chihuahua City Aug. Ill
for a business conference. It looks to us as if the
virile Villa were discounting any intervening ef-
forts to settle Mexican differences from outside.
Dallas has a municipal wood yard and here-
after able-bodied charity wards will be given
employment chopping wood. This is a good
suggestion and one that might be used with
profit by many cities during the coming win-
ter.—Sherman Democrat.
Something of the kind could Im> handled in
Bonham on a small scale.
This is the season when folks are away.
On Sunday and Monday, and ev’ry old day;
Some are in pasture and meadow where bird
And rooster make music, while treetops are
stirred
And swayed by the breezes of summer that
come
To cool off these pilgrims—while we stay
t'hutn!
Some are reclining in suits at the beach,
A king with the dandy, the mermaid, the peach ;
No cares hover ’round them, no woes do they
feel—
While we’re here a dodging the automobiles
And some are in Europe with guns on their
backs,
A tramping to trehebes for frays and attacks;
No joys for these soldiers who die for a cause
So lacking in reason, so chuck-full of flaws;
No laughter or loving for martyrs who fight
The battles of selfishness, glory and might.
Wr’d first like to be in the sand dunes or surf.
We'd next like to tramp over meadow and turf;
But rather than trade with the pumpers of
lead,
We'd rather have Bonham and labor instead.
—William Spottswood.
A Houston woman was humiliated because
she was driven to the extremity of stenling
baby clothes. In a rich world like this such
incidents should never occur. Surely there
are people who will donate baby clothes to all
who are in need. Humanity owes that consid-
eration to humanity.—Temple Telegram.
And you say this happened in the town where
Judd Lewis lives? We can’t believe it.

We are much in error in our reading of the
public temper if the American people are not now
ready for positive, affirmative, compelling action
in Mexico. If the required result can be accom-
plished without military intervention, well and
good. But the margin of time in which further
experiments in moral suasion will continue tol-
erable is shrinking rapidly.
A young lady in a nearby state lost a
breach of promise suit because when the man
proposed she merely nodded her answer. The
girl who wouldn’t under such circumstances
climb into a man’s lap, put her arms around
his neck and pucker her lips for a kiss, could
hardly be considered as having given acqui-
escence that would have any standing in
court.—Grapeland Messenger.
Editor Luket' has no doubt done some work
along the courtship line himself, as he seefns to
know what usually happens when a fellow pops
the cjuestion.
If it is true that American interests in Mexico
have employed bad men to cross the Texas border
and create a disturbance in order to force the
United States to take a hand in the Mexican af-
fairs, it is indeed a serious situation and if proven
to be true, the instigators should be arrested upon
a charge of murder in the first degree, convicted
and hung by the neck until "very much” dead.
"Pay-up” week would be a fine thing for
Ron ham at the present time. The scheme
has been worked very successfully in many
places and has enabled many people to meet
their obligations. Think it over.—Bonham
Favorite.
We hope that conditions will lie such this fall
and winter that we can go Fannin county one bet-
ter and make 1916 “pay-up" year. Wouldn't it be
a great thing to get all the debts paid up once
more, and then run everything on a cash basis
for awhile? Corsicana Courier-Light.

A man said to us the other day, it is a very
difficult thing for one to secure the faithful |>cr-
formance of a contract; there will In* something
at fault somewhere, something in material or in
execution that is deceptive or fraudulent Amt
he went on to say if the interested party makes
ohjeetinn to faulty work, he is frequently as-
sailed as if it were none of his business. This is
a Menred phase of life. It is degenerating and

disgraceful. He who undertakes to do a specified
thing should do exactly what he contracted to do,
or he is both a dishonest man and a had cititen,
and his sin w ill some day find him out. To cheat
en -ther in work or material is just as tmd as tak-
ing nmney front his pocket, so far as the moral
effect is concerned.
If one mail order house can afford to spend
$8,000 in postage stamps to carry their cata-
logues to families in all imrts of Texas, how
much can the manufacturers and jobtiers of
Texas afford to spend in advertising the mer-
its of the plan to buy it made in Texas?—
Fort Worth Record.
The postage Gill did not include more than one
tenth of the expense of getting the catalogues lie-1
fore the people. Yet when you approach the av
«rage country merchant with u proposition to
spend $10 per month with the local paper in order
to keep his name and his wares before the people, j
he is very prompt to inform you that he cannot
afford the expense. But such merchants are rap-
idly becoming wise to the fact that the fellow*
who do the nther’iaitig are getting the cream of j
the trade Rut if all would advertise and pull fori
business the mail order catalogue business woukll
dec ream very materially.

in this manner. (Hasses in

have them properly examined
may cause a life time ot snr

Yesterday h couple of Bonham la-
dies drove down to see Bois d’Arc, as
they had heard the creek was very
high, which they found to he true
They also dacovered that a wagon and
team were in the water, and that in
the wagon was a man and his wife
and three helpless little children, with
the raging waters of the angry stream
around about them and rising higher
all the time.
Turning their horse around they
drove hack to the city at once and
gave the alarm. Strong men went at
once to the creek east of town to res-
cue the stranger and his family. Jim
James at once set shout to get the
traveler out of his difficulty, and he
and Bill Lowe, and possibly others,
hooked a team on in front of the
stranger's team, and after much work
landed the wagon on the other side of
the liottom, the man then resuming
bis journey east.
Who the stranger was the Favorite
could not find out, but with these
brave fellows it nm.le no difference.
They only saw his danger, and way-
farer though hr was, they went at
once to his assistance, not without jui
element of danger to themselves, eith-
er. Maybe Jim James never had a
I dress coat on, und pel Imps Bill Low
will never care to know what a high
■ landing collar feels like, hut each of
them showed that beneath their shills
teat hearts in sympathy with this
||oor, bedraggled woman, wet with the
| incessant rains, and her helpless little
ones, who were almost the victims of
the ugly waters of this dangerous
I stream. It was them with w hom they
sympathised mostly, though of course
I they could not but have some *ynipn
thy for the man who had foolish I \
driven into the creek, which is nothing I
I v- hen dry, but the father of furies |
In order to make room for the big stock
