other drivers, and to himself, and
jeopardize the privileges he has
hitherto enjoyed.
Today, when each twelfth person
owns a car, it if vitally necessary to
have drivers recall the days of chiv-
alry. Crowded and still more crowded
streets and roads have produced a
nation-wide problem whose simplest
solution is a return to the couresy of
the days when knighthood flowered.
The automobile is too vital to the
nation, too much a part of the blood
and bone of the country's economic
life to have its use curtailed through
the failure of its users to follow the
rules of simple courtesy and safety.—

BIG HEREFORD SALE
AT AMARILLO, TEXAS
THE KNIGHTS OF OLD
ANI) KNIGHTS TODAY
* In olden days a youth of noble
blood mounted his horse and with
another noble younth as esquire
roved the highways of the world, seek-
ing to rescue the weak, right the
wrongs of the helpless, and perform
all the duties of knightly chivalry.
They fared forth through Arcarian
paths, and upheld by force of arms
the ideals of their hearts.
The beginnings of the civilization
of the Twentieth Century lay in the
ideals of these knights and esquires,
the "riders" of the Teutonic and An-
glo Saxon lands, the "cavaliers" and
"horsemen" of Latin Europe.
These were the "gentlemen" of
their age, and their mantle of obliga-
tion has come down to the gentlemen
of today. Their ideals and altruism,
modified and softened by the centur-
ies, build our code of etiquette that,
when practiced, raises each man now-
adays above the level of his fellows,
and wins him the title "gentleman",
and all may have "nobility" self-con-
ferred.
And there are "riders" today—in
America and all over the world—but
they drive steel steeds here, there and
everywhere. They are our men and
women of wealth and position—they
establish the standards of our man-
ners and our chivalry. Our city's
streets are becoming black with their
ranks, that spin 9,000,000 strong on
the roadways of America. A half mil-
lion dollars and a few daring spirits
in 18^9 have waxed today to two bil-
lion of capital and countless legions
of folks who plan, make and minister
to this newest and greatest force in
molding our affairs, the motor car in
all its types.
This is a thought, a message and a
plea to the knight motorist that he re-
call the obligations and ideals of his
knightly prototypes of centuries long
ago, when noble youths won their
spurs, and thought out and achieved
high ideals. The motorist is the
"rider" now. heir and decendant of
the dim and misty cavalcades that
people in memory the broad white
roads to Paris.
With all this stupendous cumulative
activity can the driver recognize his
share of responsibility to other driv-
ers and to the public? Can he main-
tain for this giant industry the favor
of the people? For it rests in his hands
whether with the rapidly increasing
Elsewhere in this i66ue will be
found an advertisement of J. Lynn
VanNatta's sale of 60 head of regis-
tered Herefords to be held at Ama-
rillo, Texas, Thursday February 24th,
1921, the last day of the Buyers' and
Sellers' Convention.
This seems a rare opportunity for
farmers and small stockmen to begin
the breeding of registered Herefords.
On account of the financial stringency
the price will most, likely be lower
than heretofore. With a shortage of
two and a half million beef cattle at
the principal markets this last year,
which will likely reach four and a
half or five million this year, it cer-
tainly would seem the time to start
the breeding of pure bred Herefords.
Many farmers in the Panhandle and
Plains country should own a few reg-
istered Herefords.
In support of the Hereford breed of
cattle. Mr. VanNatta says: "The
cows will live and live fat on what
goes to waste. They will nurse a calf
in the spring and summer that should
be taught to eat early in its life, at
two and one-half or three months old
and continuing to nurs e its mother
should never know a hungrv moment
until it is thoroughly developed. It
should be fed a ration of two parts
ground kaffir corn or maize to one
part ground barley or oats, and in
caring for the youngsters in this way
one can scarcely miss the smail
amount of feed it requires to develop
a well Jbred animal.
"As to its interest earning capacity,
there is nothing that will surnass it.
Fo>" example, let the cow coat $400.00
and to calve not litter than Tune,
however the earlier the better; if the
calf is cared for as above suggested,
beginnig in August or earlier and con-
tinuing for twelve or eighteen months,
it will pay from 60 to 100 per cent, on
the investment, depending on finan-
cial conditions and care.
"No one will dispute the fact that
four or five well bred Hereford cows
will live and stay fat on what goes to
waste on nearly any farm. Then whv
not own a few cows instead of haul-
ing your grain ten. twenty, or in some
cases thirty or fifty miles to market
and when arriving at the market not
receiving a sufficient amount, to re-
imburse you for your actual outlay
for expense of production.
"Own a few registered Herefords.
Your profits will be greater, you will
be happier and proud that you are a
progressive citizen in vour commu-
nity. and the communitv will be ail
the better for your beintr an owner
and breeder of pure bred Herefords."

Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year are especially affected. They
are single for the purpose of the in-
come tax law and are granted only
an exemption of $1,000, tinless the
head of a family.
Persons who were divorced or sepa-
rated by mutual agreement during
the year also must consider tliemsel-

The status of the taxpayer on De-

and living with wife or husb md,
claim may be made for the $2,000
exemption. If single, or married and

Persons who reached majority dur-

To All Subscribers
We are making it an invariable rule to discontinue
a'Jl subscriptions as they expire. This is in compliance
with the Postoffice Department regulations, which also
make it impossible to collect for subscriptions continued
after expiration. We are repeating this notice, so that
none of our readers will take offense when the paper is
discontinued. We go over our list the last of each month,
and notify every subscriber as their time expires by
stamping the paper with the words "Your subscription
has expired." So if your subscription expired during
this month, the last paper you receive this month will be
marked with those words. The date of the expiration is
printed on the label of every copy of the Nerald you re-
ceive.
We find that this rule gives very general satisfac-
tion, but there are some few people who seem to feel that
their paper should not be stopped when it expires, because
they will come in and pay it sometime during the year.
While there is one who feels this way, there are twenty
who will come in and compliment us for handling their
subscriptions in the manner we do.
If the publisher knows you want the paper, he is grate-
ful for the opportunity of sending it to you, but under
the present high price of paper stock he is bound to pro-
tect himself against those who will receive the paper and
later send you word that he did not order it continued,
and for that reason will not pay for it. Paper stock
costs five times as much today as it did four years ago,
and our subscription price has not been increased. What
is worse, the price of paper is still increasing while the
price of most products is decreasing. We have not in-
creased the subscription price of the Herald, because we
have been satisfied with the increasing business, and we
want the Herald to be read in every home in Texas
County.
We do not want our readers to miss a single copy,
and urge you to renew before your subscription expires.
The paper will stop when it does, for we are complying
with the law. and treating all subscribers just alike.
Every name on the Herald subscription list is a paid in
advance subscriber.
