A reason young people leave
the farm as soon as they are able
is that they are very much less hap-
py there than they might be if a
little consideration on the part of
their parents were shown them.
The reason so many farm wivesare
old and worn out before their time
is that they do so much work every
day that a little study and less ex-
pense on the part of their husbands
would make unnecessary. It is sur-
prising how much additional plea-

there has been an enormous
amount of moisture precipitation.
There has not been a time this
year that this section of coun-
try has needed moisture. It has
been coming right along just
before it is really needed, and in
that way the farmers have been
given opportunity to harvest the
small grain crops and also rid the
row crops of the weeds. Some fel-
lows may say that nine, twelve
fifteen years or so ago this country
received the same good fortune
fteports up to this time say that
the Texhoma Mill & Elevator has
bought 25 car loads, or approxi-
mately 25,000 bushels of wheat.
They are still buying and report
that they do not expect to discon-
tinue buying at any time. The Pat-
ton elevator has bought 12,784
bushels. Wheat has hardly begun
to move yet, but the amount com-
ing to town will be enormous in
the near future. The price is now
from 60 to 70 cents.
Rev. Gregory "Pounded"
Yesterday the good Methodists of
this community gave Rev. and Mrs.
Gregory a "pounding", and in many
cases more than single pounds were
given. Rev. and Mrs. Gregory are
mighty good people and are posi-
tively deserving of all the people
can do for them. We are glad to
see the people taking interest in
these good folks in a substantial,
helpful way.

and generally lives in a house that
is absolutely devoid of comfort. A
farmer of my acquaintance has run-
ning water piped into his barn fo
the horses and cattle, while his
wife has to carry what she uses in
cooking and washing from a spring
an eighth of a mile distant. It is
only reasonable and natural that
the boys and girls, as they grow up
should get away from conditions
such as these, and go where they
can live more easily and comfort-
able. The living conditions on the
farm must be made better as a
necessary part of making farming
itself better."

Dr. Deacon went to Dalhart Mon-
day, taking Mr. Puterbaugh, of the
western part of the county, to the
Sanitarium there, to be operated
on for cancer of the stomach. It
may be found necessary to remove
his stomach entirely, depending on
the stage this fearful malady has
advanced. His condition is very
weak and some fears are entertain-
ed that he may not survive the
operation.

welcome Mr. Johnson to our com-
munity, although we regret to see
the Elkins family leave, which they
expect to do within the next few
days. They are going to take pos-
session of their new property. Mr.
Johnson, it is asserted has lived in
the community from which he
comes for more than forty years
and his wife has never before lived
more than a mile and a half from
where she was born. As soon as

going to compare Mr. Johnson with

HINTS TO FARMERS;
"N
As you sell your grain,
stock or produce, place your
money on deposit with a re-
liable bank.
Pay your bills by check,
which makes the best kind
of a receipt, and avoid the
worry and danger attending
the carrying of large sumB
of money.

at the disposal of our cus-
tomers and country friends.

sell direct to the retail dealer. Un-
til a few years ago the country
merchant could not buy direct
from the market in small quantities,
but as a result of continuous and
truthful advertising "every dealer in
a county can buy the well-known,
advertised goods direct from the
maker.
This direct-selling method has
proven to be a great blessing to the
consumer, particularly those living
on farms and in country tawns.
Let us take shoes, for example.
Suppose you could buy a pair of
shoes direct from the factory at the
same price your local dealer pays.
Your Parcel Post or express charges
on this pair of shoes would amount
to 30 to 50 cents for a single pair.
The dealer orders in quantities. His
freight charges is 2 to 5 cents per
pair. The difference between his
freight charges and your Parcel
Post charges represents the dealers
profit. In some cases it is more
than his profit.
The country merchant buys from
the big manufacturer whose large
production enables him to give bet-
very reasonable, therefore, when
you buy a widely-known, advertised
line from your local store you have
the same advantage as you would
enjoy if you bought the goods
direct from the maker.
In the preceding article we have
told you about the changing con-
ditions in manufacturing and
merchandising. We have frequen-
tly discussed methods that have
uol heretofore been published. We
have emphasized the importance of
supporting the country merchant.
If you can save money by going
or sending away from home fog
your merchandise you need no sug-
gestions from the writer along this
line, but for future consideration
think of the country dealer and the
advantages he now enjoys as a re-
sult of the new conditions that have
arisen during the last few years.
You'll find the best quality in the
advertised trade-mark lines. De-
mand these goods of your home
dealer. If he cannot supply you
then you should trade with the
dealer who can.
This Bank
and Your Sucgbss
Many men have started in business with a capital
only of ability, hard work, honesty and a good reputation
It is no uncommon thing for men thus handicapped to
win out and make a success in their undertakings. You
probably know of several such instances.
An important factor to their success, in almost even
instance, you will find, was their bank account. Their
bank deposits may not have been large, but their con-
nection with the bank, coupled with their energy, honesty
and character, was the basis of the credit they were able
to establish, and throug credit, success was possible.
If you are starting out for yourself without eapital by
all means have a bank account with this bank. It wiu
be a help to you in many ways.
