SUBSCRIPTION, *1.50 A YEAR
IN ADVANCE.
FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1915
A newspaper always has plenty
of opportunity to publish items of
disrespect concerning at least a few
Of the individuals throughout the
community in which it is located,
items which could be confirmed
without any effort whatever. But,
the average newspaper usually has
entirely too much respect for the
It is provoking, yet amusing to
watch the p'ices of broomcorn
year in and year out. The object
of the variation in prices is as plain
as the nnop on your face. During
ine time that there is plenty broom-
corn to be placed on the market,
the prices are low, "the markets are
crowded", to hear the dealers tell
it, but just as soon as all of the corn
has been bought up from the farm-
ers who are compelled to sell early,
the prices invariably advance. The
object seems to be, to induce the
farmers to plant another big crop.
The local buyer can not be blamed
for this condition. He buys accord-
ing to orders from the boss.
We have a number of subscribers
who usually settle up their' sub-
. , , . , scriptions just a little before they
decent people of the community to jare(Jue or anyhow by the Ume
show up all of the dirty, little stink-
ing tricks which are constantly go-
ing on in the circles of the lower
elements. The devilment that is
going on and the disgraceful things
that are always detrimental to the
community, are in most instances
known by the general public of the
community in which such is prac-
ticed. Meanness is a hard thing to
cover up and hide. People usually
know the character of a man with-
out having to first read about his
actions in the columns of the news-
that the subscription expires. We
certainly appreciate having those
kind of readers on our list. Then,
too, there are others whose methods
are also appreciated to a great ex-
sent. They are those who do not
keep up with the subscription dates
to the extent of knowing just when
the time paid for it is out, but up-
on being notified they are always
ready and willing to pay up. In
fact they seem to appreciate it
when they are notified of the ex-
D. R. Stewart manager of the Gal-'
braith Foxworth Lumber Co., of
Texhoma and J. C. Galbraith of
Dalhart one of the owners, were in
this section the latter part of last
week. This was Mr. Galbraith's
first trip to this section and he ex-
pressed himself as being well pleas-
ed with the looks and condition of
the country. He stated that he
had always heard this country
praised and was glad to find out
for himself that the reports had
not been exagerated infact thought
they had been under stated. Mr.
Stewart is of course well known to
our people and has made lots of
friends for his company since he
has had charge of it.—Hansford

Every woman should pay as
much to the church as she pays
for luxuries.
Every man should pay as much
for the Lord's work as he pays for

vation of souls as they spend in
working for self enjoyment.
"I never subscribed for your old
paper. If I did, I paid for it when I
subscribed and it don't fit the shel-

Brilliant?
Lots of people expect long notices
of their entertainments, weddings,
visitors, visits and family funerals
that never subscribed for the home
paper and if they did, never paid
for it.
Borrow the paper and read it
and then cuss the editor because
he didn't give you a nice write up.
When you have a "blow out'' don't
invite the editor and family. They
will give you a nice w rite up any
way.
