Patrons along the rural routes can
help the mall carriers considerably
this winter by preventing snow drift-
ing the roads shut and will Incidental-
ly Improve the looks of their places
wonderfully If they will burn the
weeds along the fences or on their
places. Weeds help breed more bugs
than any other one thing. They may
keep some of the loose dirt from
blowing, but all they will help won't
amount to much. A few lister fur-
rows will beat them a mile and will
Improve the looks of your place more.

For the benefit of many readers
the Herald might state that the pay-
ment of 1913 taxes is governed by
the same law as last year. The pay-
ment may be made In halves provid-
ed the first half Is paid before the
first of January. If the first half Is
paid January 1st, the payment of the
second half may be deferred until
June 15th. If the property owner
falls to make the payment by the first
the entire tax becomes delinquent and
the penalty attaches. The delinquent
tax draws a penalty of 18 per cent
per annum. The personal tax war-
rants issue July 15th at which time
the sheriff is to levy on property on
which the tax has not been paid.

The Herald made a grevlous error
In a late issue when It referred to a
recent visitor to Guymon, 8. S. Pat-
ton, of Rosebud, Texas, as a Jeweler
and politician Mr. Patton says he is
a jeweler and optician instead of
politician and as he might want to
live among us some time desires to
be set right before the people of Tex-
as county. The Herald herewith ex-
tends profuse apologies for the over-
sight and trusts the error will have
no permanent or lasting ill effect up-
on Mr. Patton's good humor or busi-
ness and professional career.

You can talk of your Italian sun-
sets and weather, but the sunsets and
weather out in here the past week or
two have been the equal of anything
you ever saw anywhere. The weath-
er has been as perfect as one could
wish lor and it has been a round of
pleasure to live out here on the
plains and enjoy It. When you think
of our fall days here with all their
glory, It makes you forget the wlnly
days of the spring, which, while not
as pleasant as fall weather, are not
any worse <han mud a foot deep or
ten or fifteen cloudy days in a single
stretch.
It's Getting
Close to
Christmas
Time
And you'll be wanting to ful-
fill those happy dreams for
some friend. Come in and let
us help you make a choice of
something useful or appropri-
ate. That's our business. We
like to help you. Drop in.
