FRIDAY, OCTOBER 2. 1914
A pretty good one is told by the
Oklahotnan about an evangelist
at Hennessey, Okla., who was about
togetin bad with "the wild bunch"
because he had said some "mean
things" about them from the pul-
pit, had probably tramped on their
toes a little to hard, and the bunch
threatened to run him out of town
if he did not discontinue his ser-
vices. Now, the Oklahomnn ex-
plains that it is the first time they
ever heard of "shooting religion"
into people. The evangelist placed |
a six-shooter in his hip pocket and
went on doing good without being
molested by the toughs.
The Hansford Headlight proposes
to buy all all of the cotton that was
grown in Hansford, Ochiltree and
Hutchinson counties this year, at
prices that would satisfy the pro-
ducers. That would be easy since
it is positively known that there Is
not a bale of cotton to be found in
any of this part of the

day as to that matter. t The Pan-
handle country has been on the
verge of a turning point for some
time and we truly believe that such
point has now been reached. This

To The Tax Payers
of Texas County
After carefully considering the
matter I am thoroughly convinced,
that the office of county judge of
Texas county should pay the pre-
siding officer of such but $1,750 an-
nually. The present salary of $2,-
000 is, in my opinion, not warranted
by law.
I have this proposition to make
to the taxpayers of Texas county:
If I am elected judge of the county

The thing to do is to make propo
aitions that will count and do the
country some good if any at all are
to be made. The "buy a bale of
cotton" movement is to help those
who grow cotton and thdse to he
found who would have criticism to
offer concerning the movement
could be classed umong the selfish
folks who care for po part of their
country excepting a few miles to

probably less than that.

For seven months of this year
ending with July 31, before the
war began, our imports from for-
eign countries were 122 million
dollars more than they were for the
same period last year, while our
exports were 126 million less. That
is caused by the Underwood tariff.
The balance of trade in our favor
for these seven months in this year
was 60 million dollars. For the
same seven months last year, the
balance of trade is our favor was
308 million dollars. This shows a
falling off in the balance of trade
in our favor in seven months be-
fore the war commenced of 248
million dollars. That is equivalent
to a demaud on us of 248 million
dollars in gold. That is one of the
troubles with the country now and
is the result of the new tariff law.
little dirty trick of meanness he
has committed at some time, it
may not be apparent just at the
time the "stepping" is done, but it
will eventually crop out. And,
about the first sign in such in
stance which is visable is the fact
that such character constructs him-
self a little hammer and gets out
with his best efforts to knock the
fellow's business who has hit him
right squarely with a dose that
could not be swallowed. Of course,
the people to whom he does his
knocking are not aware of his
reasons, because he usually puts
0ut some other kind of bait to pois-
on the listener's mind aganist the
man who has told him truths which
have stung to the depths. There
are always such things as "snakes
in the grass" and tae general public
should have nothing but scorn for
the professional knocker, who is
probably trying to justify himself
and rid himself of the awful con-
science of wrong doings by still
going ahead and doing wrong.

only desire they could positively
not make good under other condi-
tions and they have finally drifted
away, some of them without having
their desires determined. Now we
look over the country with pride at
the prosperous and progressive
farmers who came to this country
altogether with different motives.
They could see the good in the
country, theirs were not land spec-
ulation motives, and they have
•positively made good for themselves
and for the country in general and
are still at it with renewed and in-
creased faith and energy with each
year that passes. This latter class
of people are the kind that have
and are making of the fcountry
what it rightfully should be. They
have gone through and withstood a
lot of "tearing down" that the
other class has done. That's why
we say that the turning point has
most surely arrived. These people
have held their own, they have
prospered, have built homes, have
their farms in fine condition, have
them well stocked, have aboundant
crops this year. They could not
be run out of this country. We be-
lieve that such is the condition and
sentiment of inost of the remaining
population, and together with the
many new comers the country is
surely going to grow in prosperity
and popularity from this time ou.
It is safe to say that the people
now here, almost to a man, expect
to continue to make this country
their future home, and that is the
point to which a newly settled
country has to come before it can
be expected to have prosperity all
over the country, among all of the
people. We should all be thankful
that we have gotten rid of practic-
ally all ol the dissatisfied element.
Some fellows in town seem to
the courc holds just and correct.

A Shortage in Missouri
A. S. Perrin and wife of Kosh-
konong, Mo., who had been visiting
with the Perrin boys, their sons,
Mrs. Cusenbary and Miss Anna
Perrin, their daughters, for three
weeks, returned to their home the
first of this week. Mr. Perrin was
a pleasant and appreciated caller
at The Times office and we had a
long talk with him on various sub-
jects. He had much praise for this
country and in looking over the
display of farm products The Times
has on exhibition he remarked
that he never saw better stuff grow
in any state than is growing right
here this year. Mr. Perrin further
says that the crops in his part of
Missouri were a total failure this
season, especially corn and all feed
stuff. For four months from the
planting season on up to the time
that crops should have been prac-
tically made, he explains, there
was not a drop of rain there, con-
sequently what little feed stuff was
planted was all for naught. But,
they grew a little fruit in that sec-
tion which Mr. Perrin believes will
be sufficient to tide them over, as
fruit is scarce in most sections and
their crop will bring good market
prices. Mr. Perrin seemed to be
much interested in the alfalfa crop
of this country. He says that in
his opinion there is no question but
alfalfa will grow anywhere here
with success, on up land as well as
on the lower lands. He saw sev-
eral fields of alfalfa while here and
says that it all looks good to him.
The Kinsey alfalfa on the river
.... northwest of town, he says is look-
think that a newspaper is a self- ing fine and ads that Prof. Kinsey
supporting institution. They never is as proud of that patch of hay as
once figure the good that a good j a little boy is of his first pair of
newspaper does the town and fail pants. Mr. Perrin is quite a talker
to see the injury it would do tae
town should such institution at any
time be discontinued. The news-
paper is a town builder, the best
you have or ever will get. It is a
real necessity to the town. It de-
serves the support of every one
but knockers on the town. The
publisher and editor is supposed to
J do the .vork of such institution in
boosting and working for the town
and commuuity, but you will never
find one who is willing to do all of
this on his own hook when he is
shown the lack of appreciation on
the part of business men, the fellows
who are really benefitted by his ef-
forts, the fellows who nave a bound
duty to support such institution of
necessity to the town.

Now most any day and most any
time of day from 25 to 100 wheat
wagons can be seen on the streets
of Texhoma. Most of the hauling
is done with double wagons and
four and six horse teams. The
marketing of small grain is grad-
ually getting better as time goes
on, yet there is so far a very little
per cent of the large crop marketed.
It will continue to come to town in
large quantities all winter and on
up into the spring months.

Thomas W. Clayton brought in
fine samples of field corn for The
Times' display corner Wednesday
evening. Three ears of this corn
weigh three and three quarter
pounds, and there are two stalks
which have two ears each which is
also very nice. This is the best
display of corn that has been re-
ceived. Mr. Clayton states that he
has a tomato vine that has more
than 500 tomatoes on it, and that
all of his crop and garden has been
simply fine this year.
S. G. Kiefer who has been here
for the past few months looking
after his wheat crop and his farm-
ing interests in general, left yester-
day for his former home at Forbes,
Mo., where his family is still resid-
ing, and he will be away for pro-
bably a month or more. He has
already put in 120 acres of wheat
and if future conditions prove fav-
orable he expects to place the
acreage up to the 200 mark before
the snow flies. We are in hopes
that Mr. Kiefer will decide to moke
this country his permanent home.
