I guess my subscription is a-
bout out. So enclosed find one
Dollar fsr renewal as I want to
to hear from Okla. ever week.
Though I may never see Hollis
again I am always glad to hear
from her and her people prosper-
ing. I like this country better
than Oklahoma. We have had
lots of rain this year and crops
are looking fine. There is lots of
room here for more people, with
good land at from $6,00 an acre
and up, The fruit crop is the
finest I ever s&w. Health is
good, and the people like all Tex-
as people have the Latch String
Hanging on the out side.

Mangum Light And
Water Bonds
Held Invalid
The district court of Greer
county has made perpetual the
injunction against the issue of
$75,000 of Mangum bonds with
the proposed te construct a light
and water plant. The court
held that illegal votes were cast
at the election authorizing the
bonds, and that if these votes
were eliminated a majority of
those voting would have been a-
gainst the bond issue; further,
that the commissioners had no
right to issue $75,000 in bonds
when the people had voted to
issue $100, OtO. The court also
held that the people voted upon
bonds to be payable within
twenty-rflve years while the com-
missioners sought to issue bonds
the first series of whieh would
be payable in tan years.
Land Going Fast
We wonder how many of our
boys realize that land is going
fast—boys brought up to think
that in America land can never
be scarce, that when they have
played out at everything else they
can somewhere get a place of
land for nothing and the
next day be a prosperous farmer
can with difficulty be made to see
it. In 1865 there were but little
over 81,000,000 acres under cul-
tivation in the United States.
Today the cultivated acres num-
ber 236,000.000 and these acres
are not only our best, but they
are fast going up in value beyond
the reach of men of small means.
Keen scented corporation snuf-
fing the inevitable bottle from a-
far are turning their attention to
land, and greedily buying whole
ceunties with no idea of ever
letting an acre go, but the boy
who thinks he is made for some-
thing higher looks calmy on
thinking there will be plenty
left for him should he ever have
to stoop to it, The sons of half
starved teachers, lawyers,preach-
ers and others, who are unsuc-
cessful in their over-crowded
callings, are turning to our
cheaper lands, sure to find there
what they or their parents never
knew before—truly independent
homes.
Takes Sugar In His
It is more fun to see a man
read a puff on himself in a news-
paper than to see a fat man slip
on a banana peeling. The nar-
row minded man reads it over
seven or eight times, and then
goes around to appropriate what
copies he can. The kind hearted
man goes around to the office
and pays what he owes. The
successful business man who ad-
vertises regularly and makes
money by it, immediately starts
out to find the editor and the
two walk silently down the
street and the business man
takes sugar in his and they both
eat a clove or twe and life is
sweet and peace settles down on
their hearts for moments. Such
ii the experience of a mustard
seed that falls on different
grounds.
How to Get on in
the World
Most of our successful men be-
gan life without a dollar. They
have won success by hard work
and strict honesty. You do the
same. Here are rules for gat-
ting on in the world:
1. Be honest. Dishonesty
seldom makes one rich, and whsn
it does, riches are a curse. Tbere
is no such thing as dishonert
success.
2 Work. The world is not
going to pay for nothing. Ninety
per cent, of what is called genius
is only a talent for hard work.
3 Enter into that business of
trade you like best, and for
which nature seems to have fitted
you, providing it is honorabler
4. Be independent. Do not
learn on others to do your think-
ing or to conquer difficulties.
5. Be conscientious in the dis-
charge of ever duty. Do yeur
work thoroughly. No one can
rise who slights his werk.
6. Don't try to begin on top.
Begin at the bottom and you will
be surer of reaching the top,
some time.
The Town You
Live In
Stand up for it.
Think well of it.
Speak in its favor.
Encourage its industries.
Patronize its merchants.
Hurrah for the enthusiastic.
Cheer every live enterprise.
See all that is beautiful in it.
Chant praises to the good it
possesses.
Sing of its wonders, you'll find
it has some,
Love it, stick to it—the town
you live in. •
Welcome Improvements, stag-
nation's a sin.
Praise it and laud it if you
wish thrift to come
A bright Chicago youngster
greatly desired a toy steam boat
just like his playmate, Eason
Lee. On returning as usual one
evening he commenced his pray-
er. "Now I lay me down to sleep;
I pray the Lord—get me a steam
boat just like Eason Lee's. If I
should die before I wake—tie a
long string to it for Jesus sake."

A Well Kept Park
One of the best evidences of a
rising, up-to-date town is a well
kept park. Even if, of necessi-
ty, it must be small it serves its
purpose by showing strangers
that the citizens of the town take
pride in it's appearanee. Yetthis
park must be well kept, else it is
worse than none ab all. Author-
ities can see that it does not be-
come 'the loafing for all the
"gentlemen of leisure" in the
village. Every town which has
a small park recognizes a good
thing when they see it and every
town whish does not possess a
park haa stHI a good thing com-
ing.
Swat Him
Because the fly is small and
doea net roar like a lion or de-
vour its prey at a meuthfuil man-
kind pays little attention to it.
But the the fly is as deadly a foe
to eivilization as any of the pests
of more fearsome aspect, which
man mikes it his business to ex.
terminate. The fly's attsok is in-
sipious and therefore the more to
b guarded against. He buzzes
into the houses, drops his deadly
disease gerrns where they will
fertilize and bazzes out again to
pick up a fresh cargo. Swat
him, he is yeur enemy.
Our Farmer
The farmer has just as much
to do in building up and improv-
ing their town as do the citizens
of the town. It Is to their inter-
ests to have up-to-date merchants
machinists and mechcnics. Hew
can they expect these conven-
iences if they send to all the
large eities for merchandise that
should be bought of the home
dealer. The few cents that ean
be saved by buying goods away
from home is injuring your com-
munity to the extent of many
dollars by retarding progress and
the increased valuation of all
kind of property, including your
own. Stand together auu to-
gether all will prosper. Divide
and prosperity will flee. You
know what the Bible says that"a
house divided against itself can
not stand
Husband (punishing Tommy):
"I'll teach you to be impudent.
(Whack! Whack!) Take that.
(Whack! Whack!) Oh, you need-
n't bawl. I'm not half done
with you yet. (Whack.)
Wife: "Don't beat the poor
little fellow so unmercifully.
He's got his Sunday pants on."
